  Couldn't be happier with my experience being tattooed by Donavan. He's an absolute professional. The shop was pristine and the atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. Looking forward to the next one.

  Booked with Donovan after hearing great things and I’m so glad I did. This was a meaningful tattoo and Donovan treated it with care and precision, on top of the impressive artistry. Great vibes and clean shop, will definitely be back for new work. Thank you Donovan!

  I knew Donavan was one of the best in Kelowna for tattoos and I'm very happy with how the piece turned out. It was a memorial tattoo for my brother who passed last year so it was a really sacred piece for me. Donavan honored that in the quality of his work. Super clean shop, great vibes, and excellent artistry. Huge respect and much appreciation!

  This is one Awesome place!!! They r friendly...make you comfy and feel at home.. its very clean...cleaned completely everyday and all instruments are new and sterilized. The Tattoo I got the exceeded my expectations and is sooo beautiful...will defitnely return for another. There is not much fading...even a month after it still looks freshly done...and im in the sun alot...so that also has not impacted the Tat... Their customer service is spot on...if u have a problem or question...a call or a text and within 10 minutes you have your answer. 10 minutes was the longest it ever took to get an answer...usually within 2 minutes. They put your wants and needs first!! Highly recommend this place!!!

  Did a walk-in with Vaeda. I didnt provide a lot of help with the concept and she still came up with a great design that I really enjoy. Everyone else there seemed chill too.
