Services
Apply a small amount of lotion two to three times a day, gently massaging it into your tattoo with your fingertips. Use the lotion sparingly, as overuse can cause excess scabbing. Do not pick or scratch your tattoo. This is one of the worst things you can do to it, as it will remove the colour from your tattoo and leave it looking blotchy.
You may phone our shop during business hours at 204-255-8897 or e-mail the artist of your choice. A clear picture of the area you would like tattooed and any reference pictures to show your artist what you like. Consults are free of charge, however you will be required to put down a minimum $100-$300 cash deposit in order to book an appointment.

BERNEL is the worst tattoo artist. He is extremely rude to his clients, and will call your ideas stupid no matter what they are. None of his ideas are original, don’t bother asking for anything he will just… tell you to pick from a book. Copy and paste. No originality. Overall I would not recommend him to ANYONE. This guy should not be tattooing at all.

Rich gave me the best tattoo I have now. I told him what I wanted, and he hit the mark. Great lining and attention to detail. I knew of his work years ago, and when I looked for a new artist, I know I picked a… quality tattooist. Would use again, but his work demands a busy schedule. I had to drive out to him, and it was not an issue, well worth the trip. Not only that, but his studio is professional, and he was so welcoming. 5/5 star experience!🤘

I spent more time driving to the studio then the consultation itself. The tattoo artist spent three minutes consulting me,during that period he said that he can’t draw what I want. When I come to a consultation… with a professional I would expect him to suggest some ideas and work with the client on how to make the idea of the tattoo genuine and sketch it while we meet. Instead, he spent his time on saying why he couldn’t do it, why everything is bad and just left me there upset and disappointed. I won’t step my foot in this place again and I would keep searching for a

It took me years to figure out where I wanted to get a tattoo. I had an idea, but didn't know where to go. After asking countless people where they got their tattoos done, Kapala came up time and time again. … Rich was amazing to work with, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He's tattooed me 30+ hours and I can't wait to go back!

By far this is one of the premier tattoo shops in Canada. I am a professional tattoo artist that traveled from the USA just to experience the amazing artist at Kapala Tattoo. I have visited many of best tattoo shops in North America. This tattoo shop owned by the amazing Rich Handford deserves more than just a couple reviews on yelp. I have tattooed for 15 years and rarely do you come across a tattoo shop with such an amazingly talented crew of artist. This place is a step above the rest. Shopping elsewhere would be a waste of you skin. This place is amazing.
