“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“

“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!“

She also tattooed a memorial for my husbands Dad it’s also amazing. I would highly recommend Lindsay at urge. PS we have turned my sister to the dark side tattoo #2 in the works!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My 2 friends and I stopped in on our girls trip to look over the flash and LOVED our experience here. Ethan is a phenomenal tattoo artist, he made us feel super comfortable and had great communication!“

“She did an amazing memorial tattoo on myself and my partner for our late daughter ❤️“

“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.“

“My second piece from Cohen! I really love his design, styles and great technique! His communication has been great getting in for planning. This coverup for me was a great way to rejuvenate an old tattoo that wasn't as meaningful for me. Im very impressed with the colour palate that he used, I have a lot of trust in his skills and application. His adaptation to the idea I came to him with turned out brilliant! I would recommend Cohen and look forward to working with him again!“

“If you’re looking for a tattoo, you should definitely come here! really nice work and really welcoming / nice vibe 10/10.“

“Photo is 4 days after, Craig was great! Went for a walk in, I told him my idea and he drew it up, we made adjustments together and I love how it turned out!“

“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“

“Both my husband and I have been to the Painted Lotus this week and last. We both saw Shannon, and had the best experience. We wanted to thank Shannon for going with my constant changes and emails to make the magic happen! Shannon was able to create a stunning portrait for my husband and an amazing custom cartoon for myself without hesitation on the style change.
The staff at the Painted Lotus go above and beyond for their customers and provide such a calming inclusive environment. They are always laughing, chatting and cheering each other on! All of the staff are incredible. We even chatted about local coffee shops and they gave me a list of some great local places. It’s so great to see a local place promoting other local businesses!
We would 100% recommend the Painted Lotus for any of your tattoo needs.
Thanks again to Shannon for his amazing art, we will be back!“

“Tattoo Zoo is a gem! As a visiting tattoo artist from Vancouver, I was blown away by their professionalism, friendly atmosphere, and amazing community.

They made my guest spot incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend both for clients and fellow artists looking to visit Victoria!“

“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!“
