Karmma Tattoo was established in 2009 by Patrick Baylis with just one chair in a small back room. As the shop grew in popularity, Patrick decided that 2021 was the year to move into a larger space and expand the team. Across from Metrotown, Karmma Tattoo is the largest shop in Burnaby, BC and has won Favourite Tattoo Shop Burnaby 2020 and Three Best Rated Shops Burnaby 2021 and 2023. Our team is made up of artists with a wide scope of skills and styles, so you can be sure you’ll find the right artist for your next piece at Karmma Tattoo. Appointments are available by walk-in or by scheduled appointment.

Shreya
Junior Tattoo Artist
I am from nepal and i am 20 years old now. I started my tattoo journey around 14 months ago. Since my childhood, I have been fond of getting tattoos. So one day I thought like why not i try doing tattoos instead of getting a tattoo. Even though I was not so good at art and all in the beginning, I sat at home and just drew a random pinterest picture and guess whattttt!? It turned out quite satisfying. And the I decided yes shreya go for what are you thinking of. So i asked my uncle if he can make time to teach me tattoo. My uncle is a tattoo artist in Nepal. He has been doing tattoo for like 14 years.
at first, he made me focus on lining and gradient colors. I practiced it for like 1 month. And he was like shreya do a set-up and gave me a design of a medusa. And told me to get started in fake skin. I was so scared also excited haha.
