Original art. Real connection. A piece that’s truly yours.

At Silver Ghost Tattoo, located in the heart of Old Strathcona at 10422 81 Avenue, Edmonton, we’re proud to serve a vibrant, creative community—students, artists, professionals, and everyone in between. And whether you’re walking in on a whim or booking a fully custom piece, one thing we always stand behind is the value of a custom tattoo.

We get it—Pinterest is full of pretty designs. Flash sheets can be tempting (and hey, we love a good flash day too!). But when it comes to something that’s going to be on your skin for life? There’s real power in going custom. Here’s why.

🎨 Your Tattoo Should Be as Unique as You Are

When you choose a custom tattoo, you’re not just picking art—you’re telling your story. That little phrase, that floral piece, that full sleeve—when it’s built around you, it carries more depth, meaning, and emotional weight.

Instead of copying a tattoo 500 other people have, you get something that reflects your style, your personality, and your journey. And trust us, that shows every time you wear it.

🤝 Collaboration = Better Results

One of the best parts of going custom is working directly with an artist who can translate your ideas into something incredible. At Silver Ghost Tattoo, our artists don’t just draw—they listen. They get to know your vision, ask the right questions, and guide you toward a design that balances concept, placement, and longevity.

You walk away with more than a tattoo—you walk away with a piece of collaborative art, built just for you.

🛠️ Our Artists, Your Style

Our team is as diverse in talent as the community we serve. Looking for black and grey realism, Japanese irezumi, ornamental work, or illustrative flair? You’re in the right place.

Meet a few of our artists:

• Alan – Expert in black and grey realism, perfect for lifelike portraits and moody detail.

Every artist at Silver Ghost Tattoo is committed to making sure your tattoo isn’t just “nice”—it’s yours.

📌 Why Not Pinterest?

Pinterest and social media are great for inspiration, but directly copying someone else’s tattoo does a disservice to both the original artist and to you.

Most of the time, those tattoos weren’t designed for your body, skin tone, or style. They may not age well in a different context. And when something is over-replicated, it loses its magic. With a custom piece, we take the inspiration and evolve it—so you get something personal, fresh, and original.

💸 It’s an Investment—for Life

Yes, custom tattoos can cost a little more up front. But they age better, mean more, and are often far more satisfying in the long run. You’re not just paying for ink—you’re investing in:

• Original artwork
• Time, planning, and care
• A professional experience
• And most importantly, a tattoo that stands the test of time
