Best Tattooing & Piercing near me in Uptown, Toronto

Great experience! Ai was able to accommodate 3 tattoos for me and my two family members during their visit to Toronto. The shop is bright and beautiful with an amazing bathroom (v. important!). Ai is friendly, professional and sooooo talented. We are all very happy with our tattoos and enjoyed the experience. Thanks!

Camille was just amazing!! Had such a fun time getting my tattoo. I love it so much! I love the colours, the design and the style! Would 10000% come back for more if it wasnt a flying visit through Toronto. Unbelievably happy!!

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!

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!

I had such an amazing and positive experience at north York ink with Abbie! Not only was everyone super super nice but my tattoos from Abbie are more than I could’ve asked for. Would recommend her and this shop to anyone.

Just got a new tattoo from Sally and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Her line work is incredibly clean, and the attention to detail really made the whole piece come to life. You can tell she takes pride in her work and it shows in every part of the design. I’ll definitely be going back for more and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional artist

I’ve had multiple tattoos done from Edgar and he never disappoints!! I would highly recommend him. He is so calm and patient. I’ve told him that I have so many more that I want and I can’t wait to keep coming back. Keep up the great work Edgar!

Amazing as always. This was my third time getting my piercings done with Laura and she was phenomenal! Extremely professional, but also very easy to be around. Couldn't recommend her enough!

We had an amazing experience at North York Ink! Our niece spent a week with us before going to university and we took in as much of Toronto as possible, capping our visit off with spontaneous tattoos at NYI. We were so impressed with the space/vibe and especially the staff. Our niece ranked it as her best experience of the week! Sally did my tattoo and my niece’s - she is so professional and such a talent, an absolute artist. Thank you for a memorable day and beautiful lifelong keepsakes!

Today was one stop shopping. Tattoo with Edgar (the best tattoo artist in town) and then on to a double piercing from the sweetest piercer ever - Laura. Tattoo is beautiful (as always) and Laura did a great job with my piercings. I highly recommend North York Ink for your tattoos and piercings. The shop is spotless and the artists are top notch and very welcoming. .

Awesome tattoo, great artists, nice people work there. Other clients were also kind. Nice environment, friendly, clean. Will return for more tattoos. I recommend North York Ink

This was my first tattoo experience and it was really great. Benjamin was very professional and expert to do this and made it amazing. He explained the process multiple times and answered my questions with patience. Hygiene was the first priority and entire process went smooth and fun. I extremely recommend this place for tattoo and piercing as my kid got two piercings without any single issue.

Had to come in to get a very recent Tragus piercing "fixed"..it had come unscrewed last night and I was able to come in today. I saw Taylor again. She was amazing. The pain was unbelievable but she walked me through it and readjusted the other helix piercing I had done. I am definitely only going to Taylor for any future piercings. I highly recommend her and North York Ink. Very happy!

Abbie has beautifully tattooed 8 pieces for me. She has brought to life some of my ideas and continued to help me plan out my next tattoos. She is incredibly friendly and professional. North york ink is very clean and I would recommend this studio to anyone looking to get tattooed in the GTA.

I couldn’t help myself but come back to an amazing tattoo shop! This time I had Abbie as my tattoo artist. She was super sweet and fun to talk to while being tattooed. I’m extremely happy with my new ink. Delicacy at its finest💚 Thank you so much Abbie! so happy to have found my new go to tattoo shop

Nilab is such a sweetheart! She's doing an amazing job as an apprentice and this is my 2nd tattoo done by here and I will definitely be back. Always love coming to North York Ink been getting a few tattoos done here and will continue to keep supporting this business for sure :) 5 stars all around!

Absolutely incredible, she made me incredibly happy and gave me the tattoo that was beyond my expectations!

Kelly was excellent. Communication was clear and informative. The tattoos turned out very well. Highly recommended.
