What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Burnaby
26 of the 81 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.
39 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on 618 Twelfth Street, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
4 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.

Tattoo tips for Burnaby
Picking a studio in Burnaby? A little homework pays off:
- No swimming while it heals at Karma Tattoo. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
- Browse portfolios before anything else at Geronimo Tattoo and Piercing. A studio's Instagram or website tells you more than any review. If nobody there does the style you want, keep looking.
- Don't haggle on price. You're paying for hours of someone's skilled labour on your skin forever. Bargain hunting has no place in a tattoo shop.
- Document the healing. Photos of the healing process help your artist advise you, and help you judge their work honestly.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Burnaby — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Burnaby can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 81, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.
If you run one of the 81 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Tattoo shop listings for Burnaby: 81 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
