Prince George has a strong tattoo culture, with artists working in bold traditional, fine-line, realism and custom styles, often inspired by the northern landscape and wildlife around the city. Many local artists work by appointment in private studios, which gives clients a relaxed, one-on-one experience.

Listings here include Aphotic Tattoo Co and Indelible Pigments, both tattoo and piercing studios; The Norseman Tattoo Emporium, which describes professional quality custom tattooing; Electric Avenue; and private, by-appointment studios such as Gold Tooth Grin Tattoos and The Queen of Swords. The Sable Fern focuses on beauty and permanent makeup.

Many artists post available dates and flash designs on social media, and some hold flash days or guest spots with visiting artists. Consultations are a good time to talk placement, size, budget and aftercare, and to ask to see healed examples of the artist's work. A good tattoo starts with the right artist. Browse the listings below, look through each artist's portfolio and book a consultation to talk through your idea.

Tips for choosing tattoo and piercing studios

  • Choose an artist based on their portfolio; look for healed work in the style you want.
  • Ask about sterilization, single-use needles and how the studio meets Northern Health requirements for personal service establishments.
  • Expect to pay a deposit for custom work, and ask about the studio's policy on design changes and cancellations.
  • Follow aftercare instructions carefully, and protect healing tattoos from summer sun and tight winter layers.
  • Many studios require clients to be 18 or older, or have specific policies for minors; ask before booking.
  • Popular artists can have long wait lists, so plan ahead for larger pieces.

Questions people ask

How do I know a tattoo studio is safe?

Look for a clean studio that uses single-use needles, sterilized equipment and good hygiene practices. In BC, personal service establishments are subject to health authority standards and inspection.

How much does a tattoo cost in Prince George?

Pricing depends on size, detail, placement and the artist. Many charge hourly or per piece, with a minimum. Ask for a quote during your consultation.

Can I get a tattoo in winter?

Yes. Many people prefer winter because healing skin is less exposed to sun. Just keep the area clean and avoid tight or rough clothing rubbing on it.
