Established in Nov. 2018, Ultra Instinct is an upscale, custom-tattoo studio located in the heart of Downtown Langley. The space has a clean and modern interior, providing a calm, inviting environment for our clients.
Dedicated to creating high-quality and unique tattoos, our artists are well-rounded in all styles of tattooing; with a preference towards: anything anime, geeky or nerdy, neo-traditional, neo-Japanese, portraits, bold saturated colour designs, and elaborate large-scale projects.
With a focus on our environmental impact and advocacy against animal cruelty, we offer vegan-friendly inks and endeavour to use eco-friendly, cruelty-free products in the studio wherever possible.

HEAD TATTOO ARTIST
Sean has been around art and tattoos his entire life; naturally talented and having spent the majority of his teenage years drawing and doing graffiti, 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, from realism and portraits to neo-traditional and anime, which allows him to provide a diverse range of custom tattoo work for his clients. You name it - Sean can do it!
A true nerd at heart, Sean's usually watching anime in his downtime or expanding his knowledge of, quite literally, everything. 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
Shan’s the brains behind the brawn of our operation. From booking appointments, corresponding with clients, managing our social media, and ensuring we have everything we need to keep the studio running, she’s always on her feet taking care of things.
After studying business administration in college, Shan began her 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 was to be an entrepreneur. Having been by Sean's side as he developed his tattoo career, she 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 - when she’s not juggling work in the studio and her new role as a mom, Shan enjoys watching movies from the 40’s & 50’s, snuggles with her kitties, and baking vegan treats for us to eat. She is also a huge animal lover and volunteers with different rescue organizations and sanctuaries whenever she can.

While he may be the newest member of our team, Dan is no rookie on the court. With 19 years of tattooing under his belt, Dan started his career back in a time when nothing was just handed to you. He has worked hard to get to where he is today, and has seen and been though it all along the way.
Having tattooed in many studios from Vancouver to Langley, Dan brings a diverse range of knowledge and experience to the table. He's never one to turn away a request and enjoys tattooing in all styles, big or small, while specializing in traditional Japanese.
Dan's charisma and outgoing personality make him fun and easy to get along with. Once he gets to talking, believe us when we say that there is no end to conversation with this one.
When he's not grinding away, Dan and his wife have a Husky puppy that keeps them busy and on their toes. He is also a car lover and can be heard blocks away, cruising in his pride and joy - a blue GT86.

Originally from New Caledonia, a small French-speaking island off the coast of Australia, Laurine brings the chill and laid-back vibes into the studio. But don't be fooled by her quiet demeanour, this girl is full of quirkiness.
After high school, Laurine went to Gobelins in Paris to study animation and later went on to study concept art at the Vancouver Film School. Combining the skills she learned in her schooling with her natural talent and love of gaming, Laurine's art style is truly unique; developing fun, one-of-a-kind characters with silly back stories.
After getting her first tattoo, Laurine fell in love with the idea of tattooing as her chosen art form and decided to seek out an apprenticeship, which lead her to Ultra Instinct. Although she's just getting into the game, we can already see great potential in this little tatter-tot and have high hopes for her future in the industry.
Outside of tattooing, Laurine and her hubby enjoy being out in nature, and love playing video games and DND with friends.
