Posted on annica cerniukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La Nena was a wonderful artist, and a very kind person. She was very accommodating to my needs during, and before/after my tattoo. She helped create the perfect draft of my tattoo with precision until it was exactly what I wanted. She is a very talented artist and I can’t recommend her enough!Posted on Stephanie KouteckyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow is all I can say..... my tattoo is perfect. I love it so much♡ I was worried it was going to hurt and I ended up sleepingPosted on Niko MonkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely and easy experience getting my first tattoo! I would recommend this studio and artist VinVan to anyone looking for a beautiful and precise piece of work for themselves, including my wife who was blown away and is now planning her own tattoo. The whole process was very simple and straightforward from start to finish, and I appreciate the quality and professionalism very much! Thank you! I'd love to return in the future ☺️Posted on Stala WongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved my whole experience with Kristin from beginning to end. She was very thorough with including my ideas into the designs of both my tattoos. She perfectly executed such meaningful tattoos to represent both my kids. During the process, she took the time to make sure placements were well positioned and never made me feel rushed or pressured into getting anything that we felt less than perfect. She made sure to check in with me and the studio also provided yummy snacks. The studio was also a lovely space and I enjoy the layout of it. I highly recommend Kristin as her artistry is beautiful. I look forward to future tattoos with Kristin again!Posted on AnonymousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Incredible artist, couldn't recommend enough.Posted on Hilary DumasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very lucky to call Kristin a friend, so when I finally knew what I wanted as a tattoo, I didn't think twice about who to ask. I also felt lucky because I was asking for something that can be quite finicky: a ring tattoo in lieu of an engagement ring. Kristin took time to meet with me and make sure she understood what I wanted, and ensure I understood the inherent risks of a tattoo on the finger. Kristin was also very organized: as this was my first tattoo experience, she made sure to send me all the necessary care info well in advance so I had time to go through it. When the day came, she took her time ensuring the design was aligned properly with my finger. The actual tattoo was very fast and Kristin kept checking in on me to make sure I was alright. Now that it's done, I can't stop looking at it. I am so grateful, this will always be the most special experience for me, and is absolutely the best ring I've ever tried on. ☺️Posted on 최순혁Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 정말 좋은 샵이에요Posted on Ivy RaeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience!! Kristin is incredible, she designed my tattoo with inspo pics I provided and made sure I was completely happy! Aside from the design she also was really sweet during the tattoo process, offering water, asking if I needed breaks—overall just so kind. This is my second tattoo with her and hopefully I’ll be back again soon.Posted on Spicy MayoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A clean and aesthetically pleasing tattoo parlour, similar to an art studio. Easy walking distance from the skytrain. I got a large arm piece done by @lanena_tattoo around a week ago, she was very patient and attentive and her work is very beautiful, it consists of fine line and micro realism which is the style I wanted for a tattoo. I would definitely recommend my friends to come here.
