Negative experience: 2.5 grams of numbing cream sold to me---ZENSA brand--- didn't work at all. You gotta get the TKTX stuff!!! Had to cancel an upper back of thigh tattoo mid way!

Jesse Nagin Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience here, especially with my artist, Aisha, who was fantastic throughout the entire process. But I have to shout out Mitch, who was incredibly helpful, even though I walked in pretty late to the shop, and then helped me with scheduling. Anyways, Aisha was super communicative before getting my tattoo and helped me with designing it. She was great while I was getting tatted, and is an incredibly talented artist. Somehow, she managed to knock out my fairly large piece all in one session. Even though I'm not from Vancouver, I'll definitely be coming back to Pacific Rose and hopefully Aisha for my next tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Was in Vancouver visiting some family and got the itch to get a tattoo, more specifically start my back piece. After doing extensive research I ended up messaging Ezra at Pacific Rose, I must say they were swift with their replies and I came in for a consult the next day (was tight on time and Ezra pulled thru!), we chatted and talked about the design and booked in for the next day, showed up rested+fed and started the process. Overall, it took about 3 hours and I have been tattooed quite a few Times by different artists and I could tell Ezra cares very much about their work. With it being on my back I couldn’t really look at it but holy! When that was done I was in awe, truly a fantastic tattoo. I loved it so much that I am reserving my back for Ezra. If you’re in Van and looking for a stellar shop with some fantastic artist Pacific Rose is your stop ! **Will post a healed photo of my tiger tattoo later**

Negative experience: Tattoo artist charged me for filling out forms, prep time, and took 5-10 minute breaks every hour. Waited 40 minutes in the lobby and had to pay that as tattoo time. I arrived 2-3 minutes early. Would have been nice to know before hand. Asked for a unique design and they gave me the same design they do for every piece. Didn’t want to lose my deposit $400 so I just went with it and it was a big mistake. I tried telling the front staff and they just told me to deal with it.

Fantastic experience: Best tattoo parlor on the Canadian West Coast!

natalie wilson Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I walked in to Pacific Rose and were met by a super friendly and helpful woman at the front desk. She quickly connected us with Curtis who was able to modify one of his flash pieces and tattoo both of us! Curtis was friendly, professional, and super talented. I would highly recommend getting tattooed by him.

Dana Anderchek Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have multiple tattoos done by April which look just as good as the day I got them (some are years old). Her technique is super gentle which makes healing a breeze and sitting for longer tattoos much more bearable. She’s a super talented artist and overall lovely person to spend time with while dealing with the pain of getting tattooed (super attentive, reads the room for what you need during the session). Will definitely be back!

Paul Martin Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Noah was absolutely awesome. He took the time to walk me through my options for retouching, removal, and even helped brainstorm ideas for a new design. I really appreciated how patient, honest, and knowledgeable he was throughout the process. It made such a difference to feel heard and supported. I left feeling so much more confident and excited about my tattoo journey. Thank you, Noah!

Ryan Watt Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done by Mitch 10 years ago after my dad passed away. Mitch did a masterful job and didn’t charge me anything for his work. 10 years later the colour still is as sharp as the day he did it. I would highly recommend his work to anyone and everyone. Big thank you to Mitch 10 years later!

Fantastic experience: We got a couple super rad walk in tattoos from Chris and Nicholas! They were both super friendly & helped us out with everything. The vibe there is awesome & we’ll definitely be back for more

Juan Felipe Chunza Gamez Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was a walk in and my first tattoo they where very helpful taking me through the steps and helping me choose my artist, Jade. I showed her of what I wanted, and when I came in for the tattoo she made it even better. She did a great job and all under a week!

Johnny Hernandez-Perez Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for tattoos! My girlfriend, our friend, and I were walk-ins and they were happy to accommodate us, and got us back super quick. My artist was Jota, and he was awesome and did great work! He was excited to do my piece and it came out looking great! The lines are clean and he got the color to go in pretty well, which is hard to do with me having darker skin. My girlfriend’s piece and our friends piece also look great and the prices were very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get a tattoo in Vancouver!

Celina Ruiz Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience,  my best friend and I were walk-ins while visiting Vancouver and both got great tattoos.  Noah did an amazing tattoo for me, perfect clean lines and shading. I would come back when I'm in the area again.

Nathalie P. Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: EDIT - OVER 5 YEARS LATER : my tiny tattoo still looks as crisp and beautiful as the day I got it done. So glad I decided to go elsewhere! --- oh wow, the attitude! I inquired about getting a tiny little symbol on my wrist. The receptionist told me that such a small tattoo will not age well, and that I need to give them a sketch of my design, etc. I explained, no, what I want is simply a tiny little symbol to remind me of a loved one who passed away, and I don’t care if it doesn’t age well, I’m doing this only for myself. She said in a very condescending tone “well our ARTISTS will refuse to do work that will not age well, the quality of their work is of utmost importance to them”. lol, welcome to Gastown. I’ll get my little tattoo elsewhere.

Hello Nathalie, updating out response as it's been 5 years and a lot has changed at our shop in that time including much of our front of house and management. It had come to our attention back then that there were a couple front of house operators who were not always the most tactful in client relations and we're sorry you experienced some attitude. Some major changes have been made since we became aware of this issue and those folks no longer work at our shop. We do not condone rock star attitudes from our artists and I think that will be reflected by our current, compassionate roster of artists here.
There is truth in that sometimes at a smaller scale, the readability of a tattoo can be lost over time as the appearance of a tattoo continues to change over the years and so we feel it is important inform clients of those things before moving forward as they may not realize that. It is a real risk of that occur much of the time over the years but is not 100% the case every time. We’re happy to hear you got the tattoo you wanted in the end and it’s still looking great. So sorry we didn’t handle things better back then. Wishing you the best.

Home to the coolest tattoo artists in the city, this place is the embodiment of tattoo culture and art - I’ve attended a few events hosted in their shop celebrating independent artists within the community, it’s definitely a staple in the tattoo scene and creative community, it embodies everything that makes Vancouver great. Kickass staff who are truly professionals at their jobs - talented, kind, and give the best tattoos. Highly recommend! Also Hannah’s the best

Hi Brad,
Sorry to hear about your not great experience at our shop. Based on the information you gave here, we've gathered that the artist you're talking about, we let go years ago for much of the reasons you expressed here.
We encourage any clients who may have had a negative experience to reach out to us directly at the time of the experience so that we can have a chance at finding a solution and turning the experience around for them.
Wishing you the best and take care.

Ethan Soltys Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was my first time getting a walk in tattoo, one of the top experiences I’ve had in a tattoo shop. They had plenty of flash pieces available and made suggestions based on examples given if you couldn’t find a flash. Noah (@no_one_davis) had time and got to work right away. Noah was great, offered breaks, water, and had a chill vibe while getting it done. Will definitely be going back! Thank you!! (Photos are right after and the next evening).

Fantastic experience: I had my 1st tattoo today, Keegan was my artist. Keegan was patient, respectful and kept me aware of the process. The end result was stunning, I will proudly wear this art, and am thankful to have met such a talent.

Ty Genberg Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been here a few times to get work done from Miguel, by far the best shop around! I make the one hour commute to come out here as you can ask these artists for honest opinions and they will give it to you. Awesome too see people in the industry that aren’t just in it for the money, rather express there talents and make others happy! Incredible art work, great pricing and not to mention how cool the building setup is! Will be coming here as long as Miguel and the guys are around :)

Fantastic experience: Went to Pacific Rose tattoo with my sisters today and we had a great experience from the time we checked in up until we left the place. Our tattoo artist Noah was fantastic! The designs we wanted were simple but since we have not gotten tattoos done in the recent times, we had many questions. Noah was knowledgeable and patient, and made sure each of us completely satisfied with our tattoo. Highly recommend this place! ask for Noah when you are there :)

Alla Shishkov Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got my first large tattoo with Frank Grimes back in 2012 when it was GT and the work is of very high caliber. In general the staff at the parlour are professional, friendly and down to earth. This probably goes without saying since the place has a good reputation, but very clean and sanitary. I also liked that there was no hard sell for post-care products. My second tattoo in 2016 was even better! The artist worked on a complimentary style to the first as the piece was on the same arm and she offered a lot of wonderful suggestions. I get the feeling that the people at this studio are more interested in doing quality work that represents them artistically than raking in money. Thanks Pacific Rose.

Bobby Stevens Published on Google 2 years ago

Catherine Schreiber Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Olivia is a gifted artist. After a brief discussion about what I was hoping for, she drew a freehand design on my arm that was perfect, and then began the tattoo. The finished product is better than I could have hoped, and I am thrilled that it is mine. I could not recommend her or the studio more highly; it is a clean, professional space in which I felt very comfortable. Because of the high demand for Olivia's work, I waited several months before I was able to schedule my appointment with her, but it was well worth the wait.

Katiekate Melb Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! Can't recommend them highly enough. We booked from Australia with very limited time and they were wonderful. Great communication and service. Our artist was really sweet and understanding and we are very happy with our little reminders of Canada.

Fantastic experience: Great place. I've been going there for several sessions with different artists. Clean, spacious, and super friendly staff.

Jonathan McLeod Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Very mixed walk-in experiences. My girlfriend had some coordinates tattoed onto her incorrectly (a 9 instead of an 8) and then when she went back to try and get it rectified, the artist incorrectly altered two different 9s to 8s (so now there is an 8 where a 9 should be) with no pathway to fix this now without removal or a cover-up. However, I had an amazing experience with Keegan (who was not responsible for the above mishap) and could not recommend him enough. He was careful, was responsive to requests which made the tattoo better, and did great work. Ask for Keegan if you go here :)

C P Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I visited the studio when I visited Vancouver during my honeymoon and wanted to get a special souvenir for me. This day Sage were there as a guest artist and what can I say? The was awesome! Very kind, very nice and very talented. I love my new tattoo ! Thanks for this ! The studio itself was very clean and I loved the whole vibe of it ! Everyone was so nice and if I could , I would give you all more than five stars !

Bella Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: My boyfriend and I saw Josh while visiting from out of town. I had beforehand requested an artist with experience tattooing on coloured skin as my boyfriend is dark skinned and has experienced scarring from previous tattoo artists. We decided to place our tattoos behind our ears and were told we’d be charged extra for that placement… first red flag. After the appointment Josh poorly slapped on bandages and sent us on our way. We kept the bandages on as long as possible but due to the way they were put on they fell off by the end of the day. (Should’ve used second skin) we continued with usual aftercare as were both covered in ink and this isn’t our first time. Now about 2 weeks later my boyfriends new tattoo is scarred and bumpy. Overall unprofessional and clearly inexperienced in tattooing coloured skin. I do not recommend him to anyone looking for a walk in or even in general..

Fantastic experience: I went to pacific rose tattoo with a an idea I wanted to commemorate my late sister. I only had a rough idea of what I wanted. Josh helped me with the design on the spot and even mixed in some of her ashes for me. It was an emotional experience for me and Josh really helped me through it. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. Josh helped make the memory of my sister last a lifetime. I’m Very greatfull for the experience and will certainly go back for other work to be done.

Moises Moreno Published on Google 3 years ago

Emma Hughes Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hands-down the best tattooing experience of my life. Got three pieces (one medium & two small) done by Keegan, who was kind & patient with my questions & design tweaks. The work he did is amazing & the entire time was so pleasant. I wish I lived closer so I could be a regular. Thank you again, Keegan!

Colette Boileau Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo here once in 2019 and then also yesterday (2022)! I can't say enough great things about this studio. Everyone is super welcoming, helpful, and happy to make it a pleasant experience. My artist yesterday was Keegan and we had quite a long session so that can tend to be not pleasant physically on the body, however, he was SO nice, helpful, and had a very calm energy that made the whole experience amazing! I have a bunch of tattoos and I always appreciate artists like that who bring a calm energy since sometimes I get nervous also the people working at the desk and the other artists there were very friendly and conversational. In terms of artwork, they all do a fantastic job and there's a wide variety of skillsets/styles amongst the artists. If I heard them correctly they have around 12 or more artists that work there so there's many to choose from - check them out on Instagram! Thanks Pacific Rose Tattoo!

And after a year I finally get an appointment, and they cancelled on the day of! Boo, hissss! Onto the next fabulous tattoo artist, which Vancouver is full of, and that are totally inclusive and customer driven.

Aaron Driver Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Just noticed the brand change up. PACIFIC ROSE, nice name. It's odd to drop such a well branded business with the location in its name though. Word on the street is it is some sort of rebuke to Gassy Jack, a historical figure tied to the neighborhood. Virtue signaling the shop owners guilt and essentially saying "shame on this neighborhood for once having a bad apple in its confines" This shop has been fairly communist minded, so it's not a shock to see them engaging in Marxist shaming of local history. Some excellent tattoos come out of this shop, it is one of Canada's best places for quality tattoos. Unfortunately, it won't be long before they won't tattoo sailing ships because they represent colonialism, before they ban any native headdress or dreamcatcher symbolism unless they are delegated to the token Indian on staff. Won't be long before the commie minded people in charge insist that tattoo machines are powered by wind turbines, that all their supplies are bought through a local Indian band, and all staff are guilted in to giving up their cars because "climate change" Maybe it's time to take the street address off and only use historically native ways of describing their location. No more traditional tattoos because they represent a culture of patriarchy misogyny and colonialism? You know Sailor Jerry chased the skirts around like a bad boy.. cancel traditional tattoos! No more Motorcycles parked out front of the shop.. greenhouse gasses and all.. no more Harleys. Because America is evil? May as well just close up shop.. too many virtue violations. Response to the owner. Maybe your anger masked that I said this was one of the best places to get a tattoo. Not bringing anyone down, just surprised at the empty virtue signaling. Of course I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Bumping this from 3 stars to two since the owner feels like attacking a rational critique with unwarrented personal attacks. You'd think the Marxist Communist owners would appreciate the suggestions. They fit in line with that political and social ideology. Odd that the shop "identifies" being in Vancouver. George Vancouver was a straight white male.. surely yall can dig up something boycott'able on that guy and make the change to your location description.

Fantastic experience: I saw Jordan Frank for a cover up at Gastown Tattoo parlour and left in shock. He did an AMAZING job. Not only did he cover up a part of my sleeve but he blended it perfectly back into it. He cause ZERO scar tissue which is a common thing with tattoo artists. He has a nice light touch. He makes you feel comfortable right away and the vibe was awesome. Highly recommend going to him.

Fantastic experience: Nick was my artist today. This is my first tattoo but he certainly put my mind at ease. He was professional, explained everything concisely. He worked with me until I am 100% happy with the design. My first tattoo looks absolutely perfect!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Jade. She made me feel super comfortable, and the tattoo she designed for me was beyond what I had originally envisioned. Highly recommend getting a tattoo made by her!

Fantastic experience: Easily the best experience I've ever had getting tattooed! My artist Olivia was so welcoming, kind, and patient. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable at every step in the process, and really listened to what I was asking for. The day started out stressful and she immediately put me at ease, and made sure I could just focus on being tattooed. Miko was also incredibly kind during my time there, helping me over the phone and in person, and even offering me their food when I needed a snack. Everyone went above and beyond, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how my tattoo turned out. I'd recommend everyone come here!

Negative experience: Don't get tattooed here. My tattooer was late and left a window open even though it was winter. I was freezing cold during my appointment, and he was rude to me the entire time. It took twice as long as he estimated so I paid twice as much as I budgeted for. This was my worst ever experience at a tattoo shop.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff! I got to spend 50 minutes trying to get out of a dark room. The puzzles were well thought out and honestly, it was the most fun I've had in a while! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Got some tattoos from Moloch (@elijotamoloch) earlier this year and I've got to say, they were some heavvyy black tats in some spicy spots (stomach and upper rib cage, yet they healed up incredibly well. No scarring, no bleed outs. His experience in tattooing is evident. Refreshing to see such a talented and humble artist open to collaborate on ideas. Grateful to have lined those pieces up with him. Shoutout to the apprentice at the time Josh for some solid customer service from the get go, who is now killing it with the tats that I see on instagram. Originally was just going to get the one tat but first experience went so smoothly I lined up a 2nd within 2 weeks after. Saw Mitch the owner, walking around as well during the day bopping his head in and giving some good vibes to the artists/clients. Sick to see some affective and supportive leadership being exercised at this shop. Its evident in its reputation in the tattoo game. wicked shop

Fantastic experience: Olivia @olivialoutattoos started my leg piece and I cannot say enough good things about my experience! She drew it on all by hand, and checked in with me the whole time to make sure I absolutely loved it. She let me have full control over breaks, when to stop, etc. and when she could tell I was having a hard time she gave me juice-boxes and encouraged me! She is such a talented artist and just an overall lovely person. My tattoo already looks absolutely stunning and I can't wait to finish this piece with her.

Positive experience: This isnt a recent experience - rather, happened around 2 years ago, but since I still am quiet afraid of going through the same experience, I must add this review. I'm giving 3 starts because the technology used was good and the professionals know what they are doing. If that was all that came into count, I'd likely give 5 stars. However, as a customer, I must say my experience wasnt pleasant. I booked a tattoo removal session and got there 5-10minutes (not more nor less) late, and they said they'd have to rebook me. Thats fine, even though I believe they could have given me a the session anyways since some things that we dont control may happen such as transit, etc, I was the wrong one here so cant really complain. So I rebooked and here its when it all started. First, I asked for wifi since I was there waiting. Clearly they had wifi there, but were not willing to share it with me so ok, may be rules. So I waited a bit - more then they waited for me when I was a bit late - and went for my session. Here there is nothing to complain about - they are professionals at what they do. When it all finished tho, I was asked by the guy who was at the cashier to pay for a tip. Now, I paid over 130$ ish for a 10minute session, didnt even have the wifi password shareed with me, and see really no reason why I should tip. I said I wasnt going to tip - you must understand the service is already expensive - and he gave me suuuch a bad eye that I truly felt pretty embarrassed. Maybe it wont sound like much, but it did indeed make me not go back for I was afraid of having even worse customer experience simply for not paying the tip. So well, to sum it up, they have really good professionals and definitely really good equipment there, and I'd say so both for tattoo removing and actually doing tattoos with good artists; however, my experience as a customer made me afraid of going back and keeping on with my removal.

Fantastic experience: Had a Tattoo today with Amanda and it was incredible! Blown away by the skill and attention to detail that was put into the piece. It was a pencil sketch linework type design and the line weights and sensibilities of the reference drawing was translated perfectly. Still in awe. Couldn't be happier, the actual shop itself is very clean and professional as well, very comfy. I would recommend the shop to anyone.
