Free Beer!Ok kidding. But I got yer attention didn't I? Ok, so I want to talk about The Three Point Tattoo. They're a rad little shop in Chinatown (27 Pender St. West, Vancouver). It was formerly the Craftsman Tattoo in case the location sounds familiar. I had a forearm piece done last December by Ian in particular, and can say with elated certainty that I won't be heading anywhere else again! I first made an appointment as a result of a referral from a friend who had a holy hell amazing Japanese half sleeve done. I was sold. I have had many a tattoo in many a shop and had yet to find a place where I could see myself going for the next 50 years (that's right, I plan to get tattooed into my 80's...don't you!?). Finding a tattoo artist who is down to earth, fun, clean, and personable can often be more of a pain in the ass than the actual tattoo itself (I guess if you were getting an ass tattoo anyway...?) and I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that part anymore.This shop is in a great location, lots of parking nearby, and close to the skytrain. It has that "good old boys" feel to it when you walk in, and you get a bellowing chorus welcome as soon as you hit the door. It's clean, semi-private, well loved and well managed. The artwork these guys produce is second to none. You can view portfolios, contact information and shop news all at threepointtattoo.com. So run, don't walk, step over yer mama to get to this shop. You won't regret it. Read Less
