Vancouver SMP - Feat Billy DeCola

Billy DeCola was born and raised in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida and he later moved to Miami where he attended college while working as a bartender in some of the most popular Miami Beach nightclubs. After living in Miami for several years, Billy moved to Japan where he worked in video production while studying Japanese at the prestigious “Naganuma – The Tokyo School of Japanese Language.”

Billy lived in Japan for 8 years before moving back to Florida in 2009 when he started his tattoo career at the world famous Miami Ink Tattoo Studio in Miami Beach. There he apprenticed under world renowned artist and close friend Ami James. The two later appeared on TLC’s hit reality TV series “NY Ink” which was filmed at Wooster Street Social Club in NYC and aired in 186 countries worldwide. When the show was a wrap Billy moved to Vancouver, B.C. where he now calls home. He tattooed at various studios before opening his own, private tattoo studio and laser removal clinic.

Billy’s path to offering SMP services and training started with over a decade spent in the tattoo industry. “I took the skills and mechanics that I was taught as a tattooer and I applied them to Scalp Micropigmentation. The transition wasn’t difficult at all but it take a little time and effort to master the craft as would any other genre of tattooing,” said Billy.

Billy now owns and operates Vancouver Scalp Micropigmentation – which offers SMP services and training courses, and Studio Kiku which offers laser tattoo removal and other beauty related services.
