Hi, I’m Paige Ponderosa, the artist and owner of Aesthete Tattoo Studio.

I’ve been tattooing since January 2021, and worked locally in Pitt Meadows, Vancouver, Clayton Heights & Coverdale. I have also travelled for conventions and guest spots to Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg & LA. However Pitt Meadows has become the place where art, nature, and meaningful connection all come together in my little studio which feels extra close to my heart.

I specialize in illustrative, delicate fineline botanical work, florals, insects, vases, ornate frames, soft black-and-grey elements anything that feels organic, elegant, and alive. I’m inspired by the natural world, vintage details, and that old-world charm that quietly tells a story.

Creating tattoos that flow with the body is at the core of what I do. I draw with my clients the day of their appointment, directly on the skin, so we can shape something that truly complements their unique curves, movement, and individuality. Nothing is “one-size-fits-all” your body leads the design, always and then we perfect the project digitally before we begin to tattoo.

A huge part of my craft is making sure you feel safe, calm, and grounded in the space. My studio is intentionally designed to feel peaceful and welcoming. A place where you can settle in, breathe, and trust the process. Whether we talk, sit in quiet, laugh, or simply exist in the moment, you’re welcome exactly as you are.

Tattooing is more than art for me, it’s connection. It’s the shared stories, the trust, the small rituals of the day, like lighting incense and playing calm music so you aren’t on a sensory overload. I never take it lightly either how big of an honour it is every time someone chooses to spend those hours in my chair.

If we work together, and our ideas align for collaboration. I hope the experience feels intentional, warm, creative, and calming. Something that helps you step into your confidence, feel more at home in your skin, and a little more like your truest self.

So much love, Paige Ponderosa
