The Future is (mostly) Female: Gastown’s Liquid Amber Tattoo & Art Collective

Back in 2000, two very good friends, Justina Kervel & Luvia Petersen, were travelling around Paris. Without much thought given to tattoos at the time, there arose a chance meeting with a tattoo artist named Phillipine of the Kaplan Art Studio.

We are humbly grateful to be living, working, and playing on the traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ / sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
