Tattoo shops in Port Moody

Thinking about ink in Port Moody, British Columbia? Start with the studios: 10 are mapped here. All 10 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. A consultation costs nothing and tells you everything about how a shop runs.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Port Moody (within about 10 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Pulse Vancity and Lapis & Co., plus Fall Back Down Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Port Moody's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Port Moody

1 of the 10 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.

2 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 332 Columbia Street, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.

Tattoo tips for Port Moody

A few things worth knowing before you work through Port Moody's tattoo shops:

• Moisturise, don't drown it at Pulse Vancity. Thin layers of the recommended ointment. Too much suffocates the skin and slows healing.
• Tip your artist at Lapis & Co.. Standard practice, like any skilled service. Twenty percent is the usual benchmark for good work.
• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.
• 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.

Good to know

We searched about 10 km around Port Moody — 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 Port Moody can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 10, 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 10 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.
