Had a consult booked with Paige on Saturday at 10 am (I've got emails to prove it) and I waited outside for 45 minutes waiting for someone ANYONE to come and get me. The shop wasn't even open, the lights were off and doors locked even though the sign said they were supposed to be open. Called multiple times, left a voice mail and emailed them asking what happened and never heard back its now been 3 days. Really unprofessional and shitty. This review is nothing against the tattoo's, from what i've seen they are all really talented, but whats the point if they arent going to follow through with appointments? There are about a million other tattoo parlours in kelowna and surrounding area, I would go anywhere else other than Tradesman. Read Less

I'd absolutely recommend tradesman to anyone considering a tattoo. I got my second tattoo here and i don't think I can go anywhere else!
- the artists are cool people
- the tattoo application process didn't hurt much, the only time it delved into actual pain was towards the end, which was a couple hours in my case
-didn't break the bank but I didn't feel like I was underselling the artist either
-aftercare was as easy as remembering to eat when you're hungry and the results are stunning! Read Less

I had an epic experience at Tradesman Tattoo! Absolutely loved the atmosphere, beautiful modern shop, good music and a lovely cheery receptionist. Staff was very friendly and helpful - Ryan who did my tattoo was amazing, and is undoubtedly talented. I am extremely happy with the finished product and could not have been happier. I’d highly recommend this studio if you're looking to get inked in the Okanagan :-) it's worth the visit!!
I will definitely be going back to Ryan for more in the future.

I promised these guys I would write a review, I've been really busy but they deserve the promise to be kept because they were amazing. I got something I've wanted done for a while now, but going in they pointed out the flaws in where I wanted it because it would be too squished because of how big the tattoo was. They were really helpful in every aspect. Paige I believe her name was, she was helpful in explaining what shade of ink to use so it fades instead of bleeds together because I'm still pretty young so my body is still changing. My artist was Ryan and he was really patient with perfecting the stencil before it went on, and he had a really light hand. These guys were amazing, I would highly recommend. 5/5 stars. Awesome experience. Read Less

had a 5 in scar on my upper arm that I have been wanting to get covered for years. stopped in to see if it was possible to cover the scar tissue with a tattoo, I spoke with Joy and showed her the design I was interested in getting. she told me that because of the age of the scar it would be no problem to cover it. I booked an appointment with her and she did an amazing job. absolutely love the tattoo she did. she took my design and drew up a stencil to fit over the scar. you can hardly see where the scar was and the tattoo is beautiful.
