Best Tattoo Shops In Victoria

“came here for my 18th birthday to get tattooed by rebecca, it’s an absolutely amazing shop, clean and comfy with good music :) she did the most amazing job at making sure i was comfortable and not in pain and took her time in making sure the tat was high quality. thank you so much again rebecca you did an amazing job!!“

“Jessica is awesome! She was great at helping me describe what I was looking for. The tattoo is a work of art. Highly recommend Ivy tattoo studio. Ill definitely be back there for my next one.“

“I had been dreaming of going to this store in the near future, once I could save enough money to ask Geri for a big cover-up of my old tattoo from another place. Then I saw what was happening, so I decided to just go to the store now and have a small piece done with the money I have. I'm 100% satisfied with the young artist's work. I recommend other queers like me go to the store now.“

“Bobby and his team were absolutely amazing for getting my tattoo done. He was able to fit me in last minute and skillfully create this design based on my recommendations. The process was smooth, professional and eased my anxiety.

Thank you so much. I will for sure be back“

“Had the best experience with Nae! Went in super nervous and unsure but she was very kind and worked with me until I was happy with the design/placement.“

“Dusty made all of my tattoo visions come to life, and was very friendly & encouraging all the way. I got my very first tattoo with Dusty at Union when I turned 25, and since then I have trusted him with both of my arms to a total of 9 tattoos! The shop is always 10/10 clean, welcoming, and full of good vibes. I always recommend Union Tattoo to my friends and also strangers when they ask about my ink. They have become my second family. Also another big shoutout the Greg and Nicole. Love you guys.“

“I got my third and largest tattoo here with David, and as someone who is quite introverted and anxious, I felt extremely comfortable in a very relaxing and accommodating environment.

I tend to ask alot of questions about processes and whatnot, and I often feel somewhat like a pest asking so many questions, but not once did I ever get the impression that any of the artists were frustrated or irritated with my questions and instead happily and eagerly answered my myriad of questions.

I would 1000% recommend coming here to get a tattoo to anyone, and especially folks like me who are a bit new to tattoos and a little bit introverted/awkward.

I received my Scottish Family Crest on my calf, and I am extremely proud and honored to say I had it done here.

A huge thanks to the folks at Government Street Tattoo.

I look forward to many more tattoos to come :)“

“Doug is a phenomenal artist, who is passionate about his craft. Positive and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for their 1st tattoo or their newest piece.“

“I would like to say that I’m really enjoyed my visit. I got my very first tattoo from Bob. He said he has done tattoos for 40 years and I love what he did so I would recommend universal tattoo in Victoria for sure.“

“Such an amazing shop with artists who truly have a passion for what they do, I came to Autumn with a piece I was very passionate about that was designed by someone important to me. Autumn sensed that passion and put more than the same amount of passion into the piece.

About the experience
I walked in the front door and was warmly welcomed by my artist and a very cozy and clean environment

Adequate time was taken to ensure I was confident in the placement before any ink was layed out

Once tattooing started I was frequently checked in on and asked how I was feeling which really helped with it being in the center of my chest (ouch) I felt looked after

Even at the end of the piece the artist ensured everything was as perfect as it could have possibly been

All around very happy with my new tattoo
Highly recommend getting ink here

Bonus- this place has a wood stove which is a very cozy touch to an already awesome place!“

“I have had tattoos done by Emily, Gwen, and Scott and everyone had their own style but everyone is also friendly and professional. a welcoming place with great artists!“

“I see Megan for gorgeous blackwork tattoos and i am never dissapointed. She is super creative and empathetic and her art is so unique. Everyone is super friendly and the studio is cute!“

“Came for a walk-in to commemorate our completion of the west coast trail and Vic did an amazing job on all 3 of our tattoos. A super friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Very clean and well kept shop. Highly recommend.

Cleanliness: Very clean and well kept shop“

“Went in last minute with only a general idea of what I wanted and Jim not only took the time to fit me in right then and there, he also created something super unique and fitting for why I wanted what I did. Would highly recommend this shop and Jim personally. Stoked with the outcome of the tattoo, how quickly he worked and how comfortable the conversation and experience was!“

“Ren did a couple throat tattoos for me. She did a great job and very light handed making the experience really easy for a sensitive spot“

“alex did my hand tattoo and got exactly what I wanted. he was very professional and understanding. thanks alex!“

“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Cohen of Paradigm Tattoo Company. I’m blessed to have
my body permanently adorned with his art. His studio is very calming, as is Cohen, and he has a wicked playlist. Cannot wait for my next tattoo!“

“Voodoo is literally the best tattoo artist I know. He's done all of my work over the years, always takes the time to make sure I get his highest quality, and is beyond a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend his services enough!“
