Front Desk
The friendly faces who'll greet you when you walk in and get you checked in for your appointment.
Hawthorne
Front Desk
Hiya! I'm Thorne, a proud member of the Lumen front of house team. When I'm not greeting you lovely folks and getting you checked in to see our staff, you can typically find me enjoying our local beaches or causing mischief with my friends! I'm an avid animal lover — I have a dog and a cat who I will happily yap about all day long! I'm excited and eager to welcome you all to our shop!
Annika
Front Desk & Tattoo Apprentice
Hello! My name is Annika, I'm from the Netherlands, and I'm a graphic designer and tattoo apprentice at Lumen Piercing. With a fresh degree in Media Design, I love bringing a sharp eye for detail, composition, and branding to projects. Right now I'm diving headfirst into my tattoo apprenticeship — I absolutely love blending my graphic design background with tattoo art. I'm always ready to assist you at the front desk with a smile, answer your questions, or talk about your next tattoo!

Jordi
Illustrative Blackwork & Fine Line
Hey, I'm Jordi. I'm originally from Mexico City and have been living in Victoria for the past seven years. Art has always been a big part of my life, and tattooing became the way I found to turn it into something permanent. I specialize in illustrative blackwork. When I'm not tattooing, I'm usually DJing or out hiking with my daughter.
Nate
Black & Grey Realism
Nate Henry is a professional tattoo artist with 19 years of experience, known for his versatility across all tattoo styles while specializing in black and grey realism. A lifelong artist, his creativity extends beyond tattooing into painting and a variety of artistic mediums, allowing him to bring a unique perspective and refined craftsmanship to every piece. Having recently relocated to Langford, Nate is excited to connect with new clients and become part of this incredible community. He believes that every tattoo tells a story, and he genuinely enjoys building relationships with the people he works with. To ensure each piece is meaningful and personal, he offers free consultations, taking the time to listen with understanding, patience, and compassion so every client's vision is fully realized.
Gabbie
Neotraditional & Fine Line
Hi, I'm Gabbie — a tattoo artist working between Victoria and Vancouver. My style is traditional with a twist, leaning into neotraditional, and I love tattooing anything cute, trippy, colourful, and unique. I've been tattooing for six years and am also technically equipped and passionate about fine line, blackwork, and most other styles. I've got lots of flash available and I'm always excited to bring your custom ideas to life.
