5 YEARS / YEAR V

Grateful feels like an understatement.

What started as an idea turned into a space because of the people who trusted us early, stuck with us, and kept coming back.

This doesn’t exist without our clients — the familiar faces and the new ones walking in every week.

Every new introduction reminds us we’re onto something.

Here’s to more time, more growth, more community.
More of us. More of this.

Thank you for being part of it.

Through quiet hands and open hearts, our community showed up.

With your help, we raised over $4,000 in support of the families affected by the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy in Vancouver.

This ain’t to brag or to boast but to show what community is about.

Through the wins & the losses.

To our clientele — thank you for standing with us.

You did this.

You didn’t just show up for a cause; you showed up for a community that’s given us everything.

This was more than a fundraiser — it was a reminder of what we share.

In hardship, we return to each other.

Our hearts are with you all.

Opening the doors was just the beginning—but you are what made it real.

From the first stencil to the last handshake, the shop was filled with nothing but love, craft, and genuine support.

It was never just about the ink—it was the conversations, the vendors, the reunions.

These moments stick with you.

It’s a reminder of why we built this.

The art stays forever, but the memories?
Just as lasting.

Big love to everyone who came through—this one meant something.

Here’s to us & to what’s next.

BIG THANKS to our vendors, sponsors and artists:

This was’t just an opening—it was a gathering of stories, community, and the people who make Nights Faded what it is.

From the buzzing of the machines to the laughter shared over fresh ink, every moment felt like a piece of something bigger.

To everyone who came through—whether you got your first tattoo, added to your collection, supported a local vendor, or just stopped by to say what’s up—we see you, we appreciate you.

This shop was built on community, and seeing it come alive like that?

That’s everything.

This is just the start.

More memories, more stories, and more moments to be made.

Thank you for being part of it. 🖤

@nightsfaded CLASS OF ‘24.

Some bonds go beyond the clock-out—this feels like home. Through the grind, the growth, and every unspoken moment, we’ve built something deeper than work: our creative family.

LOVE 🫶🏼

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪɪɪ // ɪɴᴋᴇᴅ.

Hair and tattoo culture have always hovered around each other, sharing space in the world of self-expression.

It felt like the right time to bridge the gap, uniting two art forms under one roof to create a one-stop shop for our community.

As the world moves forward, we’re reminded that the most beautiful creations often emerge through collaboration.

When unique art forms come together, they have the power to elevate each other, creating something greater than the sum of their parts.

We know this super team of multi-creative artists are about to pave a unique path that this city hasn’t seen yet.

Through hair, tattoos, and visuals, our constant yearning for growth is something we embrace.

We are over the moon to start showcasing and sharing our new crew of 6 talented artists.

The family just got bigger.

Seein’ it through. 👁️

Just as we renew our shop, we refine every look with the same artistry.

We believe in seeing the vision through—from the first sketch to the final cut.

Our space transforms as we do, shaping more than styles—we’re shaping experiences.

Every detail matters, every vision realized.
