Pacific Rose Tattoo- formerly Gastown Tattoo Parlour

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 !

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..

This place by far is the best tattoo shop I’ve been too. They have dogs on every floor for emotional support and everyone is super friendly and helpful! I got a tattoo done and I absolutely love it. If your in gas town and want a tattoo I 100% recommend ☺️

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)
