We offer free consultations in order to prioritize custom design, placement, and tonal planning to ensure tattoos complement skin tone and age gracefully.

Larger compositions are scheduled across multiple sessions with clear aftercare guidance to optimize healing and pigment retention.
Whether enhancing existing work, covering old tattoos, or creating new custom pieces, our team combines artistic skill with technical expertise to achieve depth, texture, and lifelike shading. Clients are invited to review artist portfolios and to book a free consultation to match your style and expectations.

Colour Tattoo Services
Just like the black and grey, we offer premium custom tattoo designs in full colour.
Flying Shield Tattoo colour tattoo services offer our Edmonton clients vibrant, personalized body art using a wide palette of inks and advanced techniques. Our Edmonton tattoo professional artists consult on design, placement, and colour theory to ensure hues complement skin tones and age well.
We only use high-quality pigments and sterilized equipment to reduce risk of fading and eliminate infection. In our North Edmonton tattoo shop, we also provide our clients with aftercare products and instructions included in the tattoo price.
Our Edmonton tattoo artists specialize in styles like realism, illustrative, watercolor, neo-traditional, and portraiture, each demanding different layering and blending approaches. Sessions are scheduled based on size and complexity; larger pieces require multiple appointments with healing intervals.
As an experienced studio, we prioritize safety, following strict hygiene protocols, patch testing for allergies when needed, and clear communication about expectations, potential touch-ups, and costs. Colour tattoos can be used to enhance existing black-and-grey work, cover scars, or create entirely new compositions.
Clients should research portfolios, read reviews, and discuss ink brands and techniques before booking. Understanding that bright colours often soften over time—especially on sun-exposed areas—helps set realistic expectations. With our skilled artists and proper care, Flying Shield Tattoo’s colour tattoo services deliver lasting, expressive artwork tailored to individual style and personality.
