Where your vision meets artistry
Lavin Tattoo is a space built on creativity, precision, and trust. We’re experienced, passionate artists who believe tattoos should reflect who you are, not just what’s trending. That’s why every design we create is personal, and every session is built on collaboration and care.
From small, minimal symbols to full custom sleeves, we treat each design with equal thought and attention. Our studio is a welcoming and inclusive space where your voice leads the creative process.

Tattoo in Vancouver, designed for you
Lavin Tattoo Studio is a custom tattoo studio in downtown Vancouver, on Hornby Street between Yaletown and the West End. Our resident tattoo artists specialize in fine-line, micro-realism, black and grey realism and colour work, and every piece starts with a conversation about you: your idea, your story and where the tattoo will live on your body.
If you’re looking for a Vancouver tattoo shop that takes its time with each client, you’ll find a calm, sunlit studio, artists who draw every design from scratch, and a collaborative process from first consultation to final aftercare. We tattoo first-timers and collectors alike, from tiny fine-line symbols to floral, animal and narrative pieces that grow into full sleeves.
Downtown is easy to reach from across Metro Vancouver, and when it comes to a tattoo, the right artist matters more than the closest one. Browse our artists’ work, find the style that feels like you, and tell us what you have in mind.
