Meet The Team

I have been tattooing and piercing over the years in Parksville, Nanaimo and Saskatoon. I opened Ink FX in the summer of 2019. My goal has always been to have a tattoo shop where everyone can feel welcomed and comfortable with their experience.

I specialize in black and grey illustrative realism, floral designs, anime and dark material.

Hey, my name’s Lynda! 
I’m an island raised artist with a diploma of visual arts, a lifelong pursuit of drawing and painting and 5 years of tattooing. I specialize in illustrative realism, gestural/painterly work, and whip shading but I’m pretty much up for anything style wise! Nature and the ocean are some of my deepest passions so I love working with these themes. Other themes I love working in are fantasy, a little pop culture, and mandala work.

My passion for piercing started at a young age. When I was two I pierced my own ears to be like my big sister. 

In 2016 I decided to make my passion a profession. I absolutely love what I do. I graduated Advanced Body Piercing through the Academy of Body Modification. Focusing on everything from surface anchors to your most private parts. When I am not working I spend my spare time staying on top of the current safety practices and most gentle techniques. Your comfort and safety are the utmost importance to me. I have taken numerous courses with the APP and several of its board members and renew my Blood Borne Pathogen Certification each year. I am available for walk-ins Monday-Saturday 12-7 for all of your piercing and jewelry needs. 
I look forward to poking you!

Hey everyone, I’m Irina!! I’ve been apprenticing under Kevin since February 2023. My favourite styles to tattoo are American Traditional and Japanese Traditional, but I’m open to anything! I’ve had a passion for art since I was very young, even going as far as painting designs on my bedroom walls. I’m so grateful for the opportunity of entering the tattoo industry!

Hey! I’ve been an apprentice under Mikayla since March 2023. I’ve loved & have had a passion for art & creating my whole life, & I’m so grateful to be tattooing! My favourite tattoos to do is black & grey ornamental, fineline, neo traditional, neotribal/sybersigilism, & have recently really been enjoying doing illustrative realism, portraits & micro realism as well. My favourite themes to tattoo/draw are cute, creepy or trippy things including fantasy, animals, plants, geometric, & anime/manga. I’m always up to taking other styles on as well! Hope to meet you soon!

Hi there, my name is Dawson, I grew up in Victoria,BC and am currently living in my roots; a Langford boy at heart. 

I am up for any sport or game to play and love being competitive. I love being outdoors in nature and exploring with friends. I have also always had a love for fast, unpractical vehicles, I think I’m on my 6th and 7th vehicle right now haha! 

I remember in elementary school having a fake arm sleeve full of tattoos and dressed up for halloween as a “Cool guy with tattoos” as 10 year old me would say. So I feel like I’m currently living the dream. 

I did spend the last 2 years as an Apprentice Mechanic, but decided long term I wanted to explore my passion and love of art, being creative and meeting new, cool people. After all, if you’re in the shop getting a tattoo, you’re cool in my books. I am  currently taking on new clients, and am available evenings and weekends for those that need the flexibility. Reach out, I’m not shy, and you don’t need to be either! 

I am ready to hear your plans to decorate your canvas. 

Thanks for your time. 

Dawson
