HEAD TATTOO ARTIST
Sean has been around art and tattoos his entire life; naturally talented and having spent the majority of his days drawing on quite literally everything, tattooing quickly became an enduring passion in his life.
Sean began his career in the tattoo industry over a decade ago - starting his apprenticeship in 2009 and working in several tattoo shops in the Lower Mainland, developing his skills and building his portfolio, preparing him to succeed as the head artist and owner of his own studio.
Never limiting himself, Sean has developed and specialized his skills in all styles of tattooing, allowing him to provide a diverse range of custom tattoo work for his clients. You name it - Sean can tattoo it!
A true nerd at heart, Sean is usually playing video games or watching anime in his downtime. He is also a huge car enthusiast and can otherwise be found out in the garage working on one of his forever changing vehicles.

STUDIO MANAGER
As co-owner and studio manager, she’s always on her feet taking care of things at the studio. But with six years of business & marketing experience, a photography background, combined with a need for perfection and not to mention her OCD - Shan’s got us covered!
After studying business administration in college, Shan began her business career working in property management and then moved into real estate. While she excelled in the competitive business world, she always felt that her true passion lied within a more creative career field. Having been by Sean's side as he developed his tattoo career, Shan knew that if they fused their skills together, they’d be destined to do something great - and so began the journey to Ultra Instinct.
Shan's not all business though - she is also a devoted animal love and lives by her favourite quote: "Be kind to every kind". When she’s not working, Shan’s usually in the garden, watching classic movies with her kitties, baking vegan treats or playing with bugs & animals somewhere.

JR. TATTOO ARTIST
Katie began her apprenticeship under Sean in June of 2019. This little nugget stumbled into the studio and immediately blew us away with her artwork and infectious bubbly personality.
Over the past two+ years, Katie has proven that she's got the right talent and devotion to excel in the industry - there's no doubt that this girl is well on her way to being a great tattoo artist!
Taking after her mentor, Katie has been working on developing her skills in all styles of tattooing , striving to give her clients the best tattoo experience start to finish. With her charisma and heart of gold, Katie's clients always feel comfortable and at ease with her; often leaving with a new best friend in addition to a cool new tattoo.
When she's not grinding away at the studio, Katie follows suit, spending her days snuggling with her kitties and binge-watching anime. She's continually inspired to doodle and design custom artwork, and will likely be hoarding rocks & crystals in her pockets when you come in to see her.
