Relagation Tattoos

Relegation Tattoos offers a welcoming, professional environment where skilled artists bring their clients' visions to life with care and precision. The studio embraces a range of styles well-suited to its Pacific Northwest roots — blackwork and geometric designs carry a bold, modern edge, while fine line work appeals to those seeking something delicate and enduring.

Nanaimo sits on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, a city shaped by ocean views, old-growth forests, and a creative community that has steadily grown alongside its downtown revival. Locals here tend to wear their tattoos with genuine intention — influenced by coastal living, Indigenous artistic traditions of the region, and a laid-back pride in island life. Getting tattooed at Relegation means becoming part of a studio rooted in a city that values authenticity, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to place.
