Skin Removal (Scalpel or Electrocautery)

We know that walking into a tattoo shop can be intimidating, especially for first timers. That’s why we’ve built our reputation as a place where everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported throughout their entire experience.

Canadian Ink is a clean, modern, and fully licensed studio with a team that cares just as much about the people in their chairs as they do about the art they create. We’re proud to serve clients from every background and walk of life. In an environment that is inclusive, diverse, judgment free, and built on respect.

Our artists are approachable, patient, and focused on making sure you feel comfortable and informed at every step. We take the time to listen, answer questions, and walk you through the details so you know exactly what to expect before, during and after your appointment.

At Canadian Ink, where art meets adventure. Some clients come in for the thrill of a Mystery Tattoo and the fun of letting the moment decide, while others arrive with a vision they have been thinking about for years. Whether it’s a surprise or something you’ve planned for a long time, we make the process exciting, collaborative, and completely personal to you.

In most cases, yes. We handle these as revamps, add-ons, or cover-ups depending on the tattoo’s age, saturation, scarring, style, and placement. Many effective cover-ups need to be a bit larger or use denser/darker design to hide existing lines, and in some cases laser lightening first gives you far more design options and a cleaner result. 

What we won’t do is copy another artist’s custom design line for line, or promise to match another artist’s exact style. Outcomes vary by artist and by the condition of the existing tattoo. Our focus is on giving you the strongest result, and we’ll be upfront about what’s possible and what will heal best.

Yes. A deposit is required to book any tattoo appointment. This secures your spot in the schedule and covers the time your artist sets aside for your session.

For custom tattoos, your artist will begin preparing your design once your deposit has been received. The deposit amount is based on the length or scale of your booking and is applied toward your final total on the day of your appointment.

Deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel with less than 72 hours’ notice or do not show up for your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited.

Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome to bring in your own design or reference images. Your artist may refine or adjust certain elements to ensure it translates well on skin and holds up over time. They’ll work with you to keep the original idea while making sure the final design looks its best as a tattoo.
