About Robs Tattoo Parlour
Downtown Penticton has more independent storefronts per block than a city of this size usually manages, and tattoo work sits comfortably among them. Robs Tattoo Parlour operates from 362 Main Street in that core, close to the shops, cafes and services people already walk between, and a few blocks back from the water at the north end of town.
Choosing where to get tattooed is mostly a question of fit. Artists specialise, some in bold traditional work that ages well, some in fine detail, some in reworking or covering something regretted years ago, and the sensible first step is to look at healed photographs rather than fresh ones. A shop should be glad to talk through placement, size and how a design will read in ten years, and to give a realistic estimate of sittings and total cost before anything gets booked.
Practical questions are fair to ask, and any serious shop expects them: how needles and equipment are handled, whether a deposit holds the booking, what identification is needed, and how long the wait runs for a first session. Sun and lake water are the enemies of a fresh tattoo, which is a real consideration between June and September in this city, so plan the appointment for a stretch when you can keep the area covered. Follow the aftercare you are given rather than the version you read online.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
