About us.
Liquid Amber Tattoo was first conceptualized by Justina Kervel & Luvia Petersen while they were traveling together in Paris in the year 2000. Upon meeting an artist named Phillipine of KaplanArt Studio, inspiration and desire to contribute to the rise and support of female tattoo artists would spawn the motivation to make a mark in the industry. This 'new world' idealism inspired Justina to start her own studio out of her home and quickly began making a name for herself as one of Vancouver's most talented up and coming artists. Within a year she had gained enough clientele and experience to open her own shop; so with the help of business partner Luvia Petersen she did just that.
Liquid Amber Tattoo opened the summer of 2001 as a quaint little shop on 4th and Alma in Vancouver's Kitsilano area. The Kitsilano location on West 4th would be Liquid Amber’s home for 4 ½ years until a bigger location was needed. Liquid Amber now resides at 62 Powell Street in Vancouver's Gastown area and is home to a growing base of diversely talented established and upcoming artists.This predominately female operated studio boasts a welcoming atmosphere for all walks of life.
Whether it is your first tattoo or your 56th you can be rest assured that Justina, Luvia and the entire Liquid Amber family will make it their number one priority to ensure you have a pleasant and unique experience when receiving your tattoo!
