Steveston suits a tattoo studio. The village end of the island has a small, established set of shops working out of the older storefronts near Moncton Street, and the maritime history there, cannery work, fishing families, Japanese-Canadian heritage, feeds a steady demand for anchors, waves and script that means something specific to the person wearing it.
The second concentration is in City Centre and along the No. 3 Road corridor, where studios lean toward fine-line, Asian traditional and cover-up work and several artists take bookings months out. Piercing, laser removal and permanent cosmetics are listed in this section too. Portfolios decide this category, so every listing links to the studio's own site where one exists.
