Booking with Labstract Ink is the beginning of a little ritual—part art, part therapy, part reclaiming your own skin.
When you reach out to book, you are not just grabbing a random slot on a calendar; you are starting a collaboration. You bring your story, your scars, your wild ideas, and your “I’m not sure, but I know the feeling.” From there, everything slows down a little. Your concept is heard, your placement is considered, and your lifestyle and healing are respected. This is a space where questions are welcome, nerves are normal, and every detail is intentional.
You can choose the environment that suits you best:
• A calm, private studio in Vancouver with controlled lighting, curated music, and zero walk-in chaos.
• Or a mobile session brought to you, where you feel most grounded—your home, your creative space, or another comfortable spot.
Once your idea is booked in, you get guidance on what to expect, how to prepare your body, and how to plan your day around the appointment so you are not rushing in or out. Hydration, rest, and nourishment matter here just as much as design and line work. You are encouraged to show up as you are—no need to perform toughness or hide that you are a bit anxious. That honesty helps shape the pace, breaks, and setup of your session.
On tattoo day, your design is walked through with you, not just placed on you. Placement is checked with movement and posture in mind, so the piece works with your body, not against it. You will be given time to ask, adjust, breathe, and settle before the first line ever touches your skin. The goal is to make the experience feel grounded, focused, and surprisingly calm.
When the tattoo is complete, you leave with aftercare that is clear, realistic, and tailored to your actual life—not a generic one-size-fits-all script. Your skin is your everyday environment, and the work done together is meant to live on it beautifully and sustainably.
Booking a tattoo with Labstract Ink is an invitation to mark a moment, honour a transition, or simply wear something that feels like you. If you are ready, your artist’s book is open—whether you want the privacy of the studio or the comfort of your own space, your next piece is ready to be planned.
