Authentic Ink Tattoo

Authentic Ink is the tattoo experience everyone should look for. Tracey is extremely warm, friendly and accommodating, as well as very artistically talented, professional and has an extreme attention to detail. I only wish I could go back in time and get my other chest piece done by her as well so it would match the high level of quality and accuracy that her work has.I missed my initial appointment time and felt awful, but Tracey quickly found us another slot and told me not to stress. It really is a great place whether you are getting your first piece done, and want a re-assuring, low-pressure environment - or are a tattoo veteran looking for someone who pushes artistic boundaries and demonstrates top-level skill. I will be going back and making recommendations to all my friends, co-workers and family. 10/10.

I had been wanting a tattoo for several years but am fearful of needles. I had a consult with Tracey with a sample design. She was warm, artist and understanding of my fear. 10 days later, I had my tattoo done. She’s a rock star! Her painfree approach is awesome! Her studio is clean and comfortable. Thank you Tracey !

From our very first interaction to our first two sessions, I felt like I talking to and visiting with an old friend. A cozy, clean and quiet shop with a talented artist, a side of coffee, genuine conversation and some Netflix, the pain free experience was also another added perk. My healing time was the fastest of all my other tattoos. I left extremely happy with the quality of work and straight away have Tracy drawing my next tattoo! I highly recommend Authentic Tattoo because Tracy is just that... authentic!

Tracey is an amazing artist and an even better person! I couldn’t be happier with how my tattoo turned out - the design and execution were perfect. Her line work is truly incredible. The experience was painless and there was zero blood. Her studio was super clean and comfortable. I would recommend Authentic Ink to anyone looking for a new tattoo. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Tracy was amazing, she made me feel so comfortable for my tattoo. I was a little nervous about my first one but she made me feel right at home. Her work was incredible and I couldn’t have been happier with her

Omg Tracey is possibly the best tattoo artist I have ever come by. She is very knowledgeable and understanding. She has an unreal vibe and easy to talk to.Her work speaks for itself!! I love my tattoo and how she executed everything I wanted in it.!!Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Tracy is an amazing artist And her work is the best I’ve seen. Her line work is incredible. I’ve went in for one memorial piece, but have gone back for three more pieces.Authentic Ink shop is tucked away in the best location in west van. The shop is always clean and tidyThe freezing Tracy uses is fantastic. Can sleep though a 4 hr tattoo or watch whatever you’d like on Netflix.Tracy is professional, kind, funny and personable. She will be the only artist I will use going forwardTracy you rock lady!!!

Had my first tattoo with Tracey today and the whole experience was fantastic!! Not only did we laugh so hard but it actually didn’t hurt AND her line work was perfection!! I highly recommend Tracey and Authentic Inc. Tattoos if you want a fun, pain free and freaking incredible work of art. Thank you SO much! I will definitely be back!!

The reviews don't lie, Tracey is incredible. She has such a calm and welcoming personality. Very kind and funny, making for such a relaxing experience.Her shop is intimate and private, allowing me to feel comfortable well sitting for a long session.From the beginning she was a pleasure to work with in designing my full sleeve. She is BEYOND talented. As a fellow artist I cannot stress how hard it is to get linework like hers down to such a science.Tracey's eye for detail is wild, adding such delicate details that still remain prominent to the eye. She's also very fast!My experience was seriously so painless. All my previous artists made me bleed like crazy, I didn't see a drop of red on any of the paper towel well she worked on me.I cannot recommend her enough. I will absolutely be returning for more art in future.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!I reached out to Tracey for my first tattoo and what a great decision that was! From talking designs right up until it was time to be inked, Tracey made sure I was comfortable, happy with the design and answered any question I fired her way. Tracey's studio is super clean and covered in her incredible art, she is full of knowledge and her passion for what she does really shows!
