Keri is an absolute gem! I met her while picking up my husband from a tattoo appointment and immediately loved her vibe and professionalism. I’ve now had 4 piercings done by her and couldn’t be happier. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, works in spotless conditions, and always takes the time to explain healing and aftercare. I’ve even consulted her about more intimate piercings and always felt completely comfortable. When I had an issue with a piercing (my fault, not hers!), she made time to help me the very next day. I can’t recommend her enough!

All of the staff at North York Ink were kind, patient, and committed to their craft. I got a piercing from Taylor and a tattoo from Hettie. They were both there to give me advice and provide me with an experience that helped me feel comfortable and confident that I was going to leave with exactly what I wanted. Their creativity and knowledge of their respective crafts were very evident, and I had a wonderful experience. Will definitely be going back!

Taylor was really nice even though I was late and was super clear when explaining how to take care of my piercings and was super open to any questions I had. Abby (the tattoo artist, I think that was her name) was also really kind and let me sit with my friend who was getting tattooed. Would totally come back for my next piercings!

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!

Laura’s energy professionalism, talent, and design work never disappoints! She has done all of my beautiful tattoos and I’m so thankful. Her studio is clean, bright, and beautiful. If you’re considering booking your next tattoo, look no further!

Kelly’s tattoo is truly a work of art! Her attention to detail and creative touch made our ideas come to life. I highly recommend booking with Kelly because she made the experience enjoyable, and did 4 tattoos in one day for us. Truly dedicated to her craft and an overall great experience! 100/100 Thank you Kelly!

We booked our tattoos via email with Raven and she made it easy. We were travelling from BC to Winnipeg and wanted holiday tattoos. Upon meeting Raven, I wish we could have her do our tattoos always. She is kind, funny and so attentive to our needs on top of being an incredible artist! The shop has a great vibe and is located in an amazing building. Great experience from start to finish. Thank you Raven and Ink Noir.

Kadie is always wonderful and a joy to be with when piercing. I've been a number of times for a variety of ear piercings and she does a beautiful job putting me at ease; she listens and is attentive. Looking forward to getting more work done!

I had Kyle pierce my septum. I was extremely nervous but had the best experience. Kyle was very patient, super informative and transparent with every step. The piercing placement was also perfect! Could not recommend him enough for piercings.

Kelly is an amazing tattoo artist! I have had many tattoos with her and she always goes above and beyond. Not only is her work is beautiful, she consistently goes above and beyond and always makes me feel comfortable and safe during our sessions. Would definitely recommend her :)

Charlotte was incredibly kind and knowledgeable! She definitely has her customer’s best interests at heart and was amazing in helping me decide which piercing was best for me based on anatomy, pricing and future piercings. She was very skillful in her technique and my piercing experience was a breeze!

My experience was great! I was greeted kindly. Offered a coffee, tea or water, some snacks... Alisha was amazing at helping me stay calm and breathe through some of the more spicy parts of my tattoo. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back for more of my tattoos and my pampering needs. At Boss Beauty they do almost everything! It's a 1 stop beauty shop. And everyone that works there are genuine and kind. Thanks Ladies and Alisha!

Tops Studio Tattoo & Piercing isn’t just a shop, it’s a comedy club with art supplies. Spotless, welcoming, and full of staff who actually get your weird questions, they made my first tattoo a breeze. Denis, international wizard of ink, and sworn enemy of winter, took my vague idea and turned it into something so perfect I half expect strangers to ask for autographs. Hilarious, talented, and unforgettable, these folks make getting stabbed with needles feel like a joyride.

Came in to support a local business and left having found the artists to help me on the art project that is my body. The overall experience felt very intuitive. I came with no solid ideas but a plethora of options. I have a single pair of lobe piercings and no tattoos because I didn't know where I wanted to start. Katie was so helpful and answered every question I had. I felt safe, deeply understood and seen. She explained what she was doing at every step in the process. The longest part of the process was sanitizing and making sure the piercing was perfectly placed. The vibes are exquisite.

I've had bad experiences in the past with painful uneven eyebrow tattoos, too thick, close, dark and deep lefting me visible scarfs. I've spent a fortune trying to remove it unsuccessfully till I meet Sabrina. She was very empathetic. She sends me with Lee Gagnon (Laser Away Ink, Cambridge ON) to remove previous tattoos. After 5 laser session my forehead was clean for Sabrina to make a new, delicate, symmetric eyebrow. She is a perfectionist, detail-oriented artist, it is exactly what you need in someone making permanent tattoo in your face. Im very grateful for Sabrina advice, work & patience

Was super great the people there were kind and funny and the lady doing my piercing made me feel completely comfortable and understood that even though I have 5 tattoos, piercings still make me really nervous 😂 she was also super thorough about all of my concerns with aftercare and the fact that I had a previous piercing from a different place reject before !

Did the first session of my second tattoo by Alexa. And as I was last time, super pleased with my experience. Amazingly friendly and comfortable to be around and chat with. Happy with my tattoos and my experience getting them. <3

The whole process from start to finish was so easy. Aram is an amazing artist, the tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined! The shop was very clean and had good music playing. Relaxed and professional environment 10/10 would highly recommend darkspire ink to anyone looking for a high quality tattoo shop! Hit up Aram for the best in the biz!

Great tattoo and piercing spot. Very kind staff, will come back again

Hands down the best tattoo experience we have ever had! Me and my wife got tattoos and Jessie was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this shop. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Jessie! My tattoo turned out better than my original thoughts! I'm so happy I had the opportunity to get tattooed by you. First Canadian tattoo! I hope to see you again soon! 💜

Alisha did my (14th) butterfly tattoo yesterday and she has tattooed me multiple times, done my permanent makeup, laser hair removal and more. Highly recommend her for all services 💖

Absolutely amazing. Made me less nervous and was so so patient with me even though it was a simpler piercing. He is soooo nice. I feel absolutely safe and comfortable going back to him for more piercings. And also made my mom feel part of the experience too which was really kind. Suuuuuuper communicative about sanitation, picking out jewelry, aftercare, every step in the process, etc. thank you, Kyle.

It was a wonderful experience to be tattooed by Jes. She was very light handed and we had great chats. Looking forward to getting more tattoos by her in the future and would highly recommend her tattooing skills.
