Welcome To Uppercuts Tattoo Shop

Handcrafted Tattoos, Two Studios

Uppercuts Tattoo Shop started in Maple Ridge as a custom studio, not a production shop. Every piece is drawn for the person wearing it, and that has not changed as we have grown.

Today we tattoo out of our original home at #5 – 22935 Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge, and a second studio is opening soon in Walnut Grove, Langley, inside Uppercuts Barbershop on 216 Street.

Between our two artists we cover realism, portraits, colour, Japanese, traditional and neo-traditional, fine line, black and grey, cover-ups, anime, new school and fully custom work. Same standards, same $180 hourly rate and the same free consultation at both studios.

MAPLE RIDGE

Alexandro (Alex)

Hey there, I’m Alex. I’ve been tattooing for 17 years, and I’m originally from Mexico. Tattooing is my passion, and I’ve been lucky enough to make it my career. I built the Uppercuts name here in Maple Ridge one piece at a time.

I specialise in realism, portraits and cover-ups, the kind of work where every detail has to land. I’m always open to experimenting, though. Bring me an idea, a photo, or a tattoo you want covered, and we’ll turn it into a design made for you.

Ultimately, I want to create a tattoo you’ll love forever. Big or small, let’s make it happen.

Leon Santos

Leon brings more than fifteen years of tattooing and one of the widest ranges you will find in one chair: fine line, Japanese, traditional, black and grey, full-colour realism, animals, anime, new school, cartoons and fully custom design.

He tattoos at our Maple Ridge studio now, and will also work at our Walnut Grove studio inside Uppercuts Barbershop when it opens.
