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 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 car enthusiast and can otherwise be found out in the garage working on one of his forever changing vehicles.

STUDIO MANAGER
Shan’s our ‘Jill of all trades’. 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, 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 career working in property management and real estate. While she excelled in the competitive business world, she always felt that her true passion lied within a more creative career field. Watching Sean progress throughout 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 published model and an active animal rights advocate. When she’s not working, Shan’s usually watching classic movies with her kitties, baking vegan treats or trying to save bugs/animals somewhere.

If the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy My Little Ponies had a baby, it would be Katie. With her innocence, kind heart and quirky weirdness - Katie is a ball of joy that every person, and animal, can't help but love being around.
Although she is still fresh to the world of tattooing, Katie is already proving 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 becoming a great tattoo artist!
