Just get tattooed by Alexandro. He did an awesome job, on a short notice. Really professional guy, come up with great advice on tattoo orientation to optimize the covering of the old tattoo. I do recommend contact Alexandro at UPPERCUT TATTOO for your project.

Questions

Maple Ridge Tattoo FAQ

Do you take walk-ins at the Maple Ridge studio?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week, 10 AM to 9 PM, whenever an artist is free. For larger pieces, or to see a specific artist, book ahead so we can set the time aside for you.

How much does a tattoo cost in Maple Ridge?

Our shop rate is $180 an hour plus GST. A same-day tattoo is $300 for a two-hour session, custom design time is $100, and the consultation is free. Our sleeve and back deal is a set price for a black and grey arm sleeve, leg sleeve or back piece, from $1,000 (arm), $1,500 (leg) and $2,500 (back). Spots are limited and the price goes up as they fill; we walk you through it at a free sleeve consultation. See our full pricing.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. It takes about 30 minutes and there is no obligation. Bring your idea, any reference photos and the spot you want tattooed, and your artist will talk you through design, size and placement.

Who will do my tattoo?

Two artists work at Maple Ridge. Alex has 17 years of experience and specializes in realism, portraits and cover-ups. Leon has more than 15 years and works across fine line, Japanese, traditional, realism, colour and custom design. Meet the artists.

Can you cover up an old tattoo?

Yes. Cover-ups are one of Alex's specialties. Bring a clear photo of the tattoo you want covered to your free consultation so he can plan a design that hides it properly.

Is there parking at the Maple Ridge studio?

Yes, there is lots of parking at the studio, so you will not have to hunt for a spot before your appointment or walk-in.

How do I book?

Book online and choose your service, call or WhatsApp us at 604 802 5913, or simply walk in during opening hours.
