I also looked into getting a tattoo while is LOS last time. The only thing is that you are supposed to stay out of the ocean, pool, sun and all the other things I enjoy. Best to be done at the end of your trip or at home.
Vancouver prices are a little high. Likely save a bundle if you went across the border to Seatle.
Be careful when getting a Kanji tattoo. One Kanji can have several different meanings and certain Kanji while the english translation will make sense the combination of them in Japanese or Chinese will not.
My wife has laughed many a times at foreigners who have Kanji tattoos that make absolutely no sense. Somewhat like the Asians you see wearing an english T-shirt with crazy logo's and sayings. My favorite was a chick on the subsway in Tokyo wearing a T-shirt that said "My legs are open for you" Obviously had no idea what it meant only that it was cool to have an english t-shirt.
If you want any help chosing the Kanji or want to make sure if it fits send me a private mail. More than willing to help.

Cheers,

Ashley
