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.
