Lalo Domínguez · Tattooer

“I've been tattooed by a lot of artists and this was honestly one of the best experiences I've had. Super chill environment, great music the whole session, and I felt comfortable from the second I walked in. Lalo's attention to detail was insane and somehow the tattoo hurt way less than I expected. The healed result looks even better now than when the tattoo was first done.”

“From the consultation to the final session, everything was professional and smooth. Fast replies, clear communication, and he really takes the time to understand exactly what you want. It's like talking to a friend. The studio has such a good vibe too, clean, welcoming, and great playlists. The best part is my tattoo healed perfectly.”

“Not only is the work incredible, but the whole experience felt effortless. I'm usually really anxious getting tattooed, but Lalo made me feel calm and comfortable the entire time. Super gentle hand, amazing detail work, and probably the least painful tattoo session I've had.”

“Couldn't recommend Lalo's private studio enough. Easy location to get to, it's in the best part of Gastown. Quick, and easy responses when booking, and an amazing consultation process. He helped refine my idea and turned it into something way better than I imagined. The healed tattoo looks insanely clean, it's my most complimented tattoo, thanks Lalo!”

“The vibe in the studio is unmatched. Music you won't hear anywhere else, specially if you love movies lol. Good energy, and super professional from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and the comfort of his clients. My black and grey pieces all have healed beautifully with crazy detail.”

“I was blown away by how comfortable the whole process felt. The studio is super clean, super pretty and relaxing, he checks in constantly to make sure you're doing okay. The tattoo itself came out super sharp, and healed so smooth. Definitely coming back for more work and good conversations.”

“Communication was fast and professional, consultation was super detailed, nobody had explained so much the whys and hows of healing and the process of the tattoo in my previous experiences. Lalo really pays attention to placement and design flow with my other tattoos. Plus the music selection is elite in every session, and the chats are always natural.”

“The level of detail in the tattoo is unreal. Pictures honestly don't even do it justice, even tho the pictures are like studio photos. The atmosphere made such a difference too. Relaxed, welcoming, and absolutely zero ego from him. I felt comfortable the entire appointment and the process was surprisingly painless.”

“Amazing artist and even better person. Which is why I keep coming back to Lalo. He creates such a calm environment that it doesn't even feel stressful getting tattooed. Great conversations, great music, and insanely professional work. My tattoos healed perfectly and I get compliments on them almost daily.”

“You can tell right away that he takes your tattoo, and how it will look in the future seriously. Everything was clean, organized, and professional. But still super relaxed and friendly, there's no bad vibes in the ambience at all. Lalo explained the whole process clearly, and has now delivered three of the best healed tattoos I've ever had.”

“The second you walk into Lalo's studio it feels like you're meeting an old friend for coffee, such a kind person who I look forward to seeing before each session. The work he does is absolutely unreal, I get compliments and questions about my tattoos constantly. I make the trip to Vancouver from Edmonton every time, solely to see him and would not change a thing.”

“I travel from Seattle to Vancouver just to get tattooed from Lalo, we've done 4 so far and more to come. They heal better than anything I've gotten done. He told me this would happen the first video call consultation we had, and I was a little sceptical, but honestly that's the best part of his work, seeing them heal better over time. The conversations we have are fun, and deep. Oh and the area and studio are awesome!”
