UPDATE

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Ink & Ride — hopefully the first of many. We had an awesome day for it and everyone arrived safe for coffee, hotdogs, tshirts and tattoos. Check out this video that was sent to us, cool stuff!

The Urge Ink & Ride raised a total of $1400.00 which has been donated to the Vancouver Association for Injured Motorcyclists. A.I.M. is a non-profit organization that provides services to Greater Victoria and the Lower Mainland. These services for injured riders include vocational support, hospital visits, legal advice and public awareness. Thanks to everyone who helped make this donation possible!

Come one, come all! Urge is hosting an End-of-The-Season group ride with our very first Cruise & Tattoos day.

We’ll be doing small motorcycle tattoo flash all day long. The proceeds will be donated to an injured riders non-profit.

The cruise starts at Clover Point (10 AM). We meet on the point, ride, and end up at the Urge shop for coffee and tattoos. First come first serve on the pre-drawn flash. Our new artist Dusty Rose and guest artists Gerry Kramer from Tattoo Zoo and Alan Murray will be joining us for the flash day too!

Come on out and celebrate two of the finest obsessions known to man; tattoos and motorcycles! Follow the event by confirming your attendance on our Facebook page.

It Deja vu all over again and we couldn’t be more thankful!

A leader in bod-mod safety, Urge was consulted by the Provincial Government during the composition of the Provincial Health guidelines for the tattooing and piercing industry and we continue to enjoy an unparallelled and unblemished safety record. A proud supporter of Victoria’s armed services, Urge has also blazed a trail in community outreach through a number of poppy tattoo drives from which all proceeds were donated to help struggling service members and their families through difficult times.

Here is to another year of beautiful tattoos in paradise — thank you all for your patronage and support!
