Dear Clients,

COVID-19 has taken its toll on families and businesses around the world. We are still here and survive
due to optimism, perseverance and hard work. Due to the pandemic, limitations have been placed on
businesses to keep clients and the community safe. We appreciate your effort in complying with the rules
put in place by our regulator, Vancouver Coastal Health. Being health board approved ensures that every
possible safety measure is put in place to minimize the risk from contracting viruses and bloodborne
pathogens.

We are a tattoo shop – not a grocery store. Our hours are regulated, walk-ins are limited due to capacity
rulings and our medical supplies have increased (some up to 300%). All of these factors make it imperative
that we be efficient with our allotted business time. All East Van Wear & Tattoo policies are in place to
ensure a safe and professional workplace and to keep our business running. This is a family run business
and all our families depend on it staying open.
Tattoo bookings are at a premium. Our long-standing policy will now have NO EXCEPTIONS.
