WELCOME TO WANDERLUST

Hands down THE ONLY place one should be getting tattooed at! Great shop, fantastic people, always good tunes!

Wanderlust Tattoo Co. is everything you are looking for in a tattoo shop. The artists are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The shop is very clean and inviting with its brightly painted walls, and numerous pieces of artwork. The shop ran a social media promo when they opened for a gift certificate that I won, and subsequently found out I was pregnant a few weeks after. Mark and Tina, the shop owners were so understanding and told me I could wait to book my appointment until I was done breastfeeding. The day finally came nearly two years later, and I couldn’t be happier with how my piece has started out! Mark took my idea and made it into something much more than I had envisioned. His incredible artistic ability and imagination really made it come to life on my skin. He pays great attention to detail, tattoo placement, and has a very consistent pace at which he works. He made sure I was comfortable while getting my tattoo and stayed very focused, which is definitely what you want when someone is putting permanent artwork on your body. After we were done for the day, Mark went over aftercare with me and provided a great aftercare kit with soap, lotion, and instructions to take home. This tattoo was well worth the trip up from Seattle, and I can’t wait to come up for more!

On a whim well visiting Parksville I decided I needed to get some new ink. The team at Wanderlust was very quick to respond to my online request. There was quick, clear communication and they were able to get me in with very little notice. I was lucky enough to be tattooed by Aylin and she was absolutely lovely. She took my idea and turned it into a beautiful work of art I will carry with me forever. Old school tattoo shop look but super open and welcoming. Would definitely come here again.

I brought in nothing more than an idea and Daniel created a magnificent, unique piece of art from my vision. He was incredibly receptive, communicative and considerate during the process. During the tattoo, we had a couple decisions to make on colours and where to fade out etc and we were able to come to consensus easily, with me knowing what i wanted to see and him being the artist and understanding how to tattoo etc. Very pleased with the result. Chalk one up to the best tattoo ever!
