“Hey there, I’m Alex. I’ve been tattooing for 17 years, and I’m originally from Mexico. I built the Uppercuts name here in Maple Ridge on realism, portraits and cover-ups, the kind of work where every detail has to land. I want to create a tattoo you’ll love forever.”
Specialties: realism, portraits, cover-ups, black and grey, colour realism.
Books at: Maple Ridge.
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 Maple Ridge now, and will also work at our Walnut Grove studio when it opens.
Every piece here was tattooed in our Maple Ridge studio. Filter by artist to see Alex's and Leon's work.
Three simple steps, whether it is your first tattoo or the next part of a sleeve.
Sit down with Alex or Leon for 30 minutes. Bring your idea, reference photos and the spot you want tattooed. No cost and no obligation.
Your artist draws the piece for you and sizes it to your placement, so the tattoo is made for your body and nobody else's.
Sessions are $180 an hour plus GST in a clean studio with sterilized tools. You leave knowing how to look after it, and our aftercare guide is always here.
