10/10, I always see Maria! I love her energy and enthusiasm. She is exceptionally talented. Maria is done several of my tattoos and each time they’ve come out sensational and clean. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo. Raving ink is my go to and I can’t praise them enough, they are caring and accommodating for the duration of your tattoo. The overall setting is very clean and hygienic, I would 100% recommend, for a first time tattoo or your 100th tattoo.

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!

I had a double piercing done today. I've had piercings and tattoos done previously and at all times, staff were courteous and kind, creating a relaxed atmosphere for everyone. The work area is kept spotless and the waiting area is kept clean and sanitised. I would reccommend them to anyone.

My son got his first tattoo today, he is very pleased, Heather made a great job of the skull and flames, he will be back next month for some more no doubt, all the tattoo artists are so nice. Highly recommended to anyone looking for piercings, ink or laser 🔥 ♥️

Couldn’t be better ~ really clean, comfortable, professional studio with clearly excellent hygiene standards, it couldn’t be further from some of the dingy little tattoo and piercing studios I’ve visited previously. Megg is lovely, really friendly, and a very skilled piercer, she paid a lot of attention to detail with the preparation, until I knew I’d be perfectly happy with the piercings and their positioning. The piercings themselves were done as swiftly, deftly, and painlessly as possible, and I’m absolutely delighted with them. Thank you so much, Megg!

Another fabulous tattoo experience. This shop removes everything that is taboo about tattoos. The environment is friendly, inclusive, and fresh. No "hidden rooms" where you are tucked into a corner. The open space makes for a unique and amazing experience. This is my 4th tattoo with Cheryl and I cannot recommend her enough! Talented to the extreme! I will not go anywhere else for ink, this shop has me spoiled in the best way!

I always wanted tattoos and I had so many ideas in my head. I found Sarah's page a few months ago and after having 1 tattoo with her, I have been back again and again. Sarah is so willing to listen and to take your ideas and individuality into account and her visions or my musings have always been spot on. So much so I've been back three times. She is really good at what she does, and instantly puts you at ease in the studio where its bright (white and pink) & immaculate. I have felt comfortable and confident every time she has tattooed me. I highly reccomended - a fab artist and person!

Lucy is the absolute best artist ever! Always takes her time getting every detail correct and making sure that everything is perfect. I have been getting tattooed by Lucy for over 7 years and would never go to anyone else. If you want that special tattoo done by the best then don’t go anywhere else but to Ink Obsession and ask for my gal Lucy. 🩷

Marc & Penny are brilliant, very friendly & professional throughout my whole 8h tattoo journey, and many more hours to come. A great view out the window whilst being tattooed, to take your mind off the procedure, and location is perfect. Marc is/was my tattooist and I can’t rate him highly enough, I absolutely love my Polynesian sleeve. Highly recommended given them a look if you are looking for any ink work you require. 10/10 Looking forward to many more hours work over the next few months..

Such a lovely place to get tattooed. Great staff, free coffee and just a lovely atmosphere. Tattoo is absolutely gorgeous and it was a pleasure to get tattooed by Lorena (Lorr.Ink) and work together On the design!

I’ve gone to Brandy w/ Meadow & charm for my tattoos and piercings, and every experience has been amazing. She did a beautiful tattoo for me, and I’ve already booked another appointment for two more because I loved her work so much. She’s also done several of my piercings and each one turned out perfect. On top of being super talented, she has such a great personality — every session feels comfortable and fun because she’s so easy to talk to. I always leave feeling happy with both the experience and the results. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic experience getting a new tattoo today, from start to finish it was fab. Helen is so friendly, professional, makes a great cuppa and does a fantastic job on tattoos! Definitely recommend. Already planning my next one (or two…)

Natasha is amazing. Had my conch pierced today and although it's a spicy piercing Natasha was excellent guiding my breath-work through it. I have now had 4 piercings with Natasha and won't go to anyone else!

Absolutely love my new tattoos. Stacey made me feel so comfortable and gave me the time to make sure I was happy with sizing and positioning before each tattoo. Will definitely be coming back for more! X

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!

Freya was absolutely amazing, she pierced my daughter’s helix today. Very professional, clean, gave all the information before, during and after. Very gentle and precise. Would highly recommend Freya to anyone considering getting a piercing done. And we will back soon for another piercing and a tattoo too.

Habibi is amazing. The whole time I joked with her about how I wasn’t going to leave a review. I love the tattoos she has done on me (3 so far) maybe one day she can tattoo my back. Thank you so much for the tattoo. It is always fun getting ink from you.

Ceri is the greatest human being alive. The experience is always such a pleasure. I cannot explain how comfortable the process is, despite having tattoo removal. Having many tattoos, each different ages (and quality) I have been fortunate enough to have been coming to erase that ink for a while. It’s clean, with experienced & welcoming staff, run so efficiently & I always feel better coming out than going in. Everything is explained in depth, the aftercare is amazing & Ceri is always on hand to ask questions, nothing is ever too much. I’d recommend Erase That Ink every day, forever.

My new wife and I wanted to have our rings tattooed as part of our wedding, so we chose Black Heart Ink. We thought we were walking in for tattoos but what we got was so much more special and we haven’t stopped talking about it all afternoon! The way Gary, Tim and Ben interacted with our kids, they put up “Just Married” banners, the tattoo set up was opposite each other so we could have tattoos together and the choice of artists to complete the tattoos was perfect and we’re utterly thrilled with the experience and for really making our special day even better. I cannot thank you all enough!

Popped in with no appt on Sat and 5-10 mins later chatting with my fav piercer Evie! I was having 3 small piercings popped in my lobe just above my 2 archaic piercings (done when is 11 and 15). A bit of blue ink later, some mild swearing from me (low pain threshold) and I have a sparkly ear lobe. She also checked on my Helix piercing done a couple of years ago - cheers Evie :) Back again soon i think for a couple more ;) B

Kelly was absolutely amazing. I got my nostril pierced by her as well a couple years ago and during that piercing and today’s piercing she was very kind and made sure I didn’t get up too fast or feel sick after the service. I very much appreciate the services I have recieved and plan to come back for at least two more piercings and a tattoo in the foreseeable future.

Best Tattoo Artist I have ever been to and I am almost 54 with my first tattoo at 18. Hygiene top notch and attention to detail. Very caring during process of getting tattooed. We will be seeing you soon Yolandi for attention to our older tattoos. Thank you so much!

Little Frankie’s is by far my favourite place to get tattooed. I love the welcoming vibe, amazing artists, diversity and inclusion focus and the fact that all the artists are female. I’ve been to other tattoo shops which have much more male vibes and as a Women I just never feel as comfortable there. I will be coming back to Little Frankie’s for all my tattoos 🥰

I haven’t had any piercings or tattoos for a good 7 years now so going in for a double helix was a bit daunting but Kate was amazing, incredibly professional and very relaxing and good conversation, Would definitely recommend anytime anyone wants a new or re-piercing

I added to one of my tattoos today, and let Brandi decide the best location for it. It turned out great! Brandi is an absolutely amazing tattoo artist! She has a delightful personality and is caring, kind and the only person I would ever let ink me. I highly recommend her for fine line tattoos. They are so feminine and attractive. Thank you Brandi, you're the best!!

Amy was very friendly, helpful and as gentle as could be in giving my penis a frwnum piercing. It only hurt for a split second and, to my mind, was not much different, in that respect, from my nipple piercings. I thoroughly recommend Amy, of Asgard Tattoo and Piercing.

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

This is my third tattoo from Kranio and there is no one else I will get ink from. His attention to detail is incredible, he takes his time, and he really packs in the black for lasting and amazing looking tattoos. HIGHLY recommended!

Absolutely amazing I highly recommend Sammy to everyone for piercings and tattoos, Sammy has done a lot of my work piercing and tattoos she has never let me down. She is also always up for a chat and super friendly, I get so many compliments on my pieces that I have 😊😘
