Best Tattoo & Piercing Near Me in Castle Heights, 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!

Very professional and friendly staff with lots of great options for jewelry. I went in for my first piercings (lobes) and my piercer Alex was very nice and fun to talk to. He took great care in the placement of my piercings to make sure they looked great and was fast with the actual piercing to minimize pain.

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.

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.

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!

I met with Keri and she helped me select my hardware upgrade. She was on time, professional and very thorough in her suggestions and care of my piercings and what was feasible. I had a wonderful experience start to finish, and i love the appointment only concept at Vanity, it not only results in a really tailored experience but it makes things really efficient and organized. Also their selection of jewelry is bar none, best i've seen in a long time for the Curated ear! Thank you!

She is so friendly, has great taste and makes you feel really at ease by letting you know every step of the process. I would 100% recommended her to anyone looking for a relaxed and thoughtful piercing atmosphere.
