About us

Today, Tattoo Lab’s team provides custom tattoos and body piercing for first-time clients, collectors and visitors to Halifax. Every project begins by understanding the client’s idea, placement, size, style and long-term expectations. The goal is not to rush people into a design, but to help them make a confident decision and leave with work that feels personal.
Located at 221 Herring Cove Road in Halifax, Tattoo Lab is open every day from 11 AM to 10 PM. Appointment times are confirmed by your artist or piercer, and other times may be possible by arrangement. Walk-ins depend on availability, so calling ahead is recommended. Call or text 902-448-2211, email hi@tattoolab.ca or use the consultation form to discuss your tattoo or piercing idea.

Tattoo Lab stands for no shortcuts, no guesswork, and no compromise on hygiene or quality. It’s a place where creativity meets precision, where art is treated seriously, and every client leaves with a piece that’s carefully planned and precisely executed.
Clients immediately noticed the difference: precise linework, artistic detail, and a sense of comfort in a safe, welcoming space. Today, Tattoo Lab has grown into a full team of artists and piercers, including our expert body piercer, all sharing Vivek’s dedication to excellence and client satisfaction.
Tattoo Lab was founded on a simple belief: every tattoo should hold meaning, for both the artist and the person wearing it.
Vivek began his journey as a tattoo artist, fascinated by how art can capture emotion, memory, and identity on skin. What started as sketches in a notebook evolved into a lifelong passion for creating realistic, meaningful, and technically perfect tattoos.
He opened Tattoo Lab Studios in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What began as a one-artist setup quickly gained attention for its clean, professional environment, friendly approach, and masterful execution across all tattoo styles, from fine line tattoos and floral designs to black and grey realism, portraits, and custom colour tattoos.
