Debate this statement if you like, but there is nary a tattoo as important as one of someone’s furry best friend. However, it’s this very same meaningfulness that makes it nerve-wracking for those who want the tattoo. Can anyone truly capture a cherished pup’s one-of-a-kind expression, the way they tilt their head when curious, and oh-so boopable nose? Only the most capable (and caring) tattooist can accomplish such a task. For this reason you are online and searching for the BEST dog portrait tattoo artist near you. If located in the BC Lower Mainland you’ll be pleased to know that Adrenaline VanCity is the one destination (get directions) you can depend on.

Why Choose Adrenaline When Seeking the Best Tattoo Artist to do a Portrait of Your Precious Dog


Blackwork Realism Specialists 

Dog portrait tattoos are done in the Blackwork / Black-and-Grey Realism style of tattooing. Adrenaline has two of the most talented tattooists of the genre in our employ, including Daniel Valhalus (view portfolio) and Rodrigo Valenzuela (view bio). Select either when booking your free consultation and explore more below for samples of their work as they apply to today’s theme.

Sensitivity to Emotional Journey

Often, when people search for the best dog portrait tattoo artist they are in need of a memorial tattoo. While it can be very healing to have your beloved companion tattooed, the experience is very emotional. Consequently, you need a tattoo artist who is not only talented, but one who appreciates what you’re feeling. You need to know that they will be sensitive to the waves of emotions you will experience when seated in their chair. Find peace of mind that Adrenaline VanCity tattooists treat clients like family, and will perform the memorial tattoo (if applicable) with patience and care, talking you through it and taking breaks whenever you need.
