About
Intuitive Tattoos
Intuitive Tattoos is a Vancouver Island–based studio, service, and online shop created by artist Lucy Stainsby
Lucy combines over a decade of experience in fine art, tarot, and tattooing to create designs that are more than skin deep. Each piece is guided by intuition, symbolism, and personal meaning - whether it’s a spiritual tattoo, a sigil, or a sacred geometry design.
Clients travel from across Canada and beyond to experience Lucy’s process, which blends conversation, tarot readings, and collaborative design into a transformative session. Just an hour by boat from downtown Vancouver, the studio offers not only a tattoo, but a journey: a chance to align inner stories with permanent art.
Beyond the studio, Intuitive Tattoos also offers online tarot readings, astrology-based birth chart sessions, and free tarot education through Lucy’s courses. The shop features exclusive artwork, tarot decks, and curated items Lucy uses and loves.
Lucy’s approach is empathetic, intentional, and deeply personal - every tattoo or reading is an opportunity to create connection, healing, and lasting meaning.
About Lucy
I began Intuitive Tattoos because I saw how powerful it could be to combine art with energy work and intention.
For me, tattooing isn’t just about creating something beautiful—it’s about creating something meaningful that becomes part of your journey.
Every session is personal, channeled in the moment, and designed to hold the symbols and energy you need most right now. No templates, no trends—just art that speaks directly to your soul.
“Working with Lucy is a whole experience that can’t be put into words—transformative, joyful, balanced, healing. I traveled from Colorado for my first piece and am already planning my next trip back.”
– Chelsea, Colorado

What Clients Are Saying
I booked an intuitive design session with Lucy and it was such an amazing experience. The session included a tarot reading, reiki and the design. Immediately, I felt at ease and Lucy's reading was so accurate and applicable to my current situation. Thanks for such an amazing experience.

The intuitive tattoo and Sigil designs (watching her pull things from the Ether and create was mind blowing) and the tattoo itself. I LOVE my new piece!! I'm still in awe of how it all came together, from the look, meaning, and placement. Pulling from all the moments and messages during our time together

I am absolutely delighted by my reading. She echoed so many things I’m working through and towards and really solidified my confidence in myself. She even gave me some very practical actions to take moving forward. I 100% recommend a reading with her. Thank you so much Lucy. I feel confident in my path forward.

Your Intuitive Tattoo is alive with the energy of your reading and healing, carrying your personal symbols into the next chapter of your life.
It's alive with the energy of your reading and healing, carrying your personal symbols into the next chapter of your life. This is what tattooing becomes when it’s treated as a ceremony: intentional, healing, and created to last far beyond the session itself. Some won’t understand it until they feel it for themselves. That’s okay. They will.
Birth Chart Readings
Your birth chart is a cosmic map—revealing your potential, patterns, and purpose. In this one-on-one session, Lucy explores your astrological blueprint, translating planetary positions and aspects into clear, meaningful guidance you can use in everyday life.
Each reading is an empowering conversation about who you are at your core, how you move through the world, and where your energy is best focused. Lucy weaves astrology with her intuitive gifts, offering insight that feels both grounded and magical.
Available as:
Standalone Reading – Perfect for personal insight and self-reflection.
Reading + Tattoo Session – Use your birth chart symbolism to inspire your intuitive tattoo design.
Sigil Tattoo
Sigil Tattoos distill your personal affirmation, desire, or transformation into a symbolic glyph—an energetic signature unique to you. Created through a focused ritual process, each sigil carries the frequency of your intention and serves as a constant activation of that energy in your life.
Bold, black brushwork meets spiritual precision, resulting in a design that is both visually striking and deeply personal.
Intuitive Tattoo
An Intuitive Tattoo is more than art on skin, it’s a deeply personal ceremony that blends tarot reading, energy healing, and intentional design. Each piece is created in real time, channeled through your energy and story, and imbued with symbolic meaning that resonates long after the session ends.
Handcrafted in Nanaimo, BC, for those seeking a tattoo that carries purpose, presence, and transformation. This is the signature offering of Intuitive Tattoos, shaped by Lucy’s years of experience in fine art, tattooing, and spiritual guidance.
