Best Tattoo & Piercing Near Me in Byward Market, Ottawa

I had an incredible experience at vanity. My piercer (I'm sorry I didn't catch their name) was so calm, knowledgeable, and sensitive to my worries regarding a stubborn piercing I had gotten elsewhere. They listened and together we came up with the best plan of action for me and my body. The environment is clean and inviting as well as LGBTQ2IA+ friendly. It lacks the intimidating atmosphere I've experienced getting piercings in tattoo studios previously. I will definitely only be going to Vanity for piercings from here on out!

The team at Vanity Ottawa are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Fortunately, they also had exactly what I was looking for as far as jewelry, and I even had the opportunity to consult Alex on piercings I want to acquire in the future. In fact, I am writing this before booking my next appointment.

It has been 46 years since my last piercing. I was apprehensive, but Manu walked me through everything and was very reassuring and professional. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Clean, professional, fresh environment. The atmosphere of the space and employees relaxed me. High quality products. Alex really took his time with me, answering any questions, and filling in information gaps that I didn’t think to ask about. As a result, I now have a double helix and faith piercing that I absolutely love and am fully confident will heal perfectly. Looking forward to my next visit to downsize my posts.

I'm thrilled with my double lobe piercing experience! The staff was professional, the process was quick and virtually painless. The studio was clean, and they provided excellent aftercare instructions. Highly recommend!

My twelve-year-old daughter and I had such a positive experience getting pierced by Charlotte! She was so warm and welcoming, and put both of us at ease right away. She was very thorough and precise when deciding where exactly to pierce us (lobes for kiddo, helix for me), working with our own unique anatomy while leaving the option open for future piercings. The actual procedure itself was so quick with minimal fuss. Thank you Charlotte and Vanity for such an empowering experience.

My experience at Vanity was a 10 out of 10. I am so glad that I chose to have my piecing done at this location. Tine was very knowledgeable, she was able to answer all my questions and provided at ton of information. I was extremely nervous about getting my piercing done, as I am terrified of needles.. Tine made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a good vibe and I would strongly recommend anyone that is looking to get a piecing at Vanity to just do it!!!!! thanks again Vanity!!! I absolutely loooooooooove my piercing!!

Choosing Vanity for my nose ring was the right choice! The reception, led by Ellie, and my Piercer, Tine, created a warm atmosphere. Tine's professionalism and kindness, along with her guidance in selecting a tailored nose ring, impressed me. Her patience and extensive knowledge provided valuable insights on brands, upkeep, and maintenance. Tine's thorough explanation of paperwork ensured I was well-informed. Throughout the piercing, her gentle and professional demeanor instilled ease. I highly recommend Tine and look forward to returning for more. Thanks for a positive experience!

As a first time customer , first time getting a piercing , I highly recommend, very clean set up, also very professional attitude ,

Kyle was very friendly and expertly guided me through my first piercing. He was very thorough with sanitation, and was super clear with aftercare instructions. Super happy with the result!

Kyle was amazing, professional and fun to get pierced by. I will be going back to him for any new piercings or service’s related to piercings for sure and I would most definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a good piercer.

Kyle is kind and knowledgeable. He is very patient and will take the time to ensure that you understand all of the steps prior to piercing. He’s calm and cool and very adept at what he does.

Kyle is absolutely amazing! He’s very thorough and explains not only what to do for aftercare, but also why. I got my 11th and 12th piercings yesterday with Kyle and it was by far my best experience! If you’re looking at getting a piercing, especially if it’s your first and you’re nervous, Kyle is your guy!

Kyle was so patient, professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend him to others looking for a quality and safe piercing!

A really good experience over all, it felt professional and caring. A couple points is that the info could be a bit overwhelming, I would've appreciated a bit less/more succinctness. Also I would've appreciated a warning for the piercing, something like "in the next minute, I'll be piercing your ear". A very positive experience overall, Kyle really knows his stuff and you can tell cares a lot about making it a good experience for the client.

Kyle was very caring and precise with the piercing! Definitely coming back for more in future

Kyle is awesome, he is very caring and so good vibes, I felt confortable all the time and well drive through the whole process, thanks a lot, I just love my new piercing ❤️🥳👏🏻
