About Blackline
Your story. Our craft.
Blackline Tattoo is a Vancouver studio built around custom work — no flash-off-the-wall shortcuts. Every piece starts with a conversation about what the tattoo actually needs to say, then goes through real design work before a needle ever touches skin. It's a slower way to work, and it shows in the result.

The Artist
Jack Morrison
Blackwork · Fine Line · Realism · Traditional · Illustrative
Jack has spent the last ten years building Blackline into a one-chair studio focused entirely on custom work. Trained in black and grey realism, he's since developed a versatile range that covers bold blackwork, delicate fine line, and classic traditional pieces — all built around one client, one appointment, and one artist's full attention from first sketch to final session.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on size, placement and detail. Most pieces start at $150, with larger custom work quoted after your consultation.
Do you accept walk-ins?
We work primarily by appointment so each piece gets proper time and attention, but feel free to drop by — we'll always try to help if we can.
What styles do you specialize in?
Blackwork, fine line, black and grey realism, traditional and illustrative work. Browse the portfolio to see examples of each before your consultation.
How far in advance should I book?
The schedule usually books out 3–6 weeks in advance, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible for larger pieces.
Do I need a deposit?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your appointment and goes toward the total cost of your tattoo.
Can I bring my own design?
Absolutely. Your artist will review it and refine the concept with you to make sure it translates well to skin.
Can I get tattooed if I'm visiting Vancouver?
Yes, we regularly tattoo visitors — just book ahead so we can fit your session into the schedule.
What should I do before my appointment?
Get a good night's sleep, eat beforehand, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior.
