Tranceformations is a full-service custom tattoo and piercing shop & studio centrally located in Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island. 

Our tattoo artists are talented painters, sculptures, and lovers of the arts. They have travelled all over Canada, and Internationally. All of our tattoos are custom designed just for you at no additional charge to ensure that your piece of permanent art is perfectly suited to you, and utterly unique. 

We pride ourselves in having the very best jewelry available, and pierce with only internally threaded, high polish, implant grade titanium or 14kt gold. Our gold is never alloyed with nickel. We are the flagship store for Alchemy Adornment and offer the largest selection of high quality body jewelry in Western Canada. 

Our piercers are constantly updating their training and knowledge by attending the Association of Professional Piercers’ annual conference, and all staff maintain current first aid, CPR, and bloodborne pathogens training. We were amongst the first shops in Canada to employ piercers who are member of the Association of Professional Piercers, and all of our piercers are members.

Whether you’re looking for a place to get your next tattoo or coverup, a new piercing, or a safe place to get your child’s ears pierced for the first time, we’ve got you covered.
