ASH & INK TATTOO

With an everlasting passion for all body modifications, Ash & Ink Tattoo strives for quality care, artistic taste, and always evolving education within the industry.
MEET THE ARTIST
Hello! My name is Ashley, and I'm a tattoo artist based in West Kelowna, B.C.
I've always loved drawing and painting, and my fascination with tattoos began in my teens!
I started my journey in 2013 as an esthetician, branching into cosmetic tattoos in 2016. Then in 2021, I took a leap of faith and decided to fully immerse myself into all things tattooing! I love being able to combine my background in the beauty industry with my passion for tattoo art to create a truly unique experience for my clients.
I designed my home studio to provide a professional, comfortable space with a quieter and more private atmosphere than traditional tattoo studios. These are the qualities I deeply value and strive to deliver to every client, ensuring they feel completely at ease throughout their tattoo experience.
In addition to the atmosphere I strive to provide, Ash and Ink Tattoo is fully approved by the Interior Health Authority, meeting the highest standards of hygiene and safety. I'm committed to continuing my education so I can always offer you the highest quality and most up-to-date techniques and pigments available. ​I look forward to meeting you!
SOME OF MY WORK
How to prepare for your appointment
Drink Water
The best way to ensure your body and skin is sufficiently hydrated, inside and out, is to ensure you're drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day!
What to Bring
Wear loose and comfortable clothing and bring items like a book, headphones or even slippers! Bring some easy snacks, and some water, or fruit juice.
Moisturize
The more soft and supple your skin is, the easier time I have at implanting ink! Moisturize daily for 1-2 weeks prior.
Sleep Well
If you get a good nights sleep chances are your body will be a lot happier making it easier to sit for longer sessions.
No Alcohol & Caffeine
Please no alcohol, drugs or caffeine. We want your body as healthy as can be so it can tolerate the tattoo process.
Eat a Good Meal
Skipping meals before a tattoo can hinder how long you can sit for, and make you nauseous or light headed.
Pricing
One of the most common questions is the price of tattoos, which is understandable! However several factors determine the price of tattoos: size, placement, amount of details, amount of realism, color, etc.

How to take care of your new tattoo
Avoid These
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, bodies of water, and direct sun for the first 2 weeks.
I also recommend taking 4 days off from moderate-vigorous physical activity. The bigger the tattoo, the more serious I want you to rest.
Day 3 - 10
Always care for your new tattoo with clean hands and continue to wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing. Continue cleaning the tattoo daily with soap and water. Once skin is clean and dry it will need to be moisturized throughout the day to prevent any scabs from hardening. Lightly peeling skin is normal, please refrain from picking - we do not want infection, scarring or loss of pigment to occur.
Day 1
Your tattoo will be wrapped for the first 24 hours. Depending on the size, it will be a waterproof bandage that you can shower with. Please refrain from too hot of water.
Healed
After the skin has finished peeling the top layer is fully healed and you can resume most of your daily activities, however it will take another 4 weeks till your skin is considered fully healed. It can be normal for the tattoo to look a little light, or shiny during the healing stages. You are still encouraged to keep out of the direct sun but are safe to apply sunscreens now.
Day 2
When ready to remove the bandage, make sure to have clean hands and wash the tattoo with soap and water & gently pat dry. Do not let pets lick the area and ensure you are using clean bedsheets and wearing loose clothing.
Longevity
It's no secret that the sun is a tattoo's worst enemy. Not only for a fresh tattoo but also healed tattoos! Sunblock or SPF 50+ is required to keep tattoos looking fresh and vibrant. It will also help ensure any white pigments don't stain or tan.
Client testimonials
Ashley is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me about the powder brow procedure when I arrived. She took great care to ensure that my brow shape was symmetrical to my face and suited my preferences as far as brow thickness. I was super nervous but she put me at ease right away! Very clean studio and all covid procedures were adhered to. Thanks so much Ashley!

Ashley is an A+ artist! She re-did my brows to perfection, I couldnt have dreamt them any better. She knew exactly the route I was going, and was easy to collaborate with. Her expertise and knowledge are top notch and I highly recommend her. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her work, and her attention to detail is very much appreciated! Thanks, Ashley!
Breanne R.
Amazing talent! Amazing at both lashes and microblading! Very detailed orientated and efficient, listens to exactly what you want and then makes it happen! Such a great find, would recommend her to anyone! I have tried other places with good google reviews, but they were big let downs. Ashley is a hidden gem!
