The studio
Fat Bastard Tattoo is a private, appointment-only studio in Parksville, BC. Every booking gets its own time and full attention in a clean, comfortable space — no rush, no crowd.
Custom art is the specialty: original colour and black & grey drawn for the person wearing it, plus flash for walk-ins, and cover-ups and clean-ups that turn old or rough ink into work you'll want to show off.
Behind the studio is Seamus — three-plus decades tattooing in shops across Canada and beyond, still holding the same standard on every piece.

Ready-to-wear original designs. Pick one and go.
