Best Tattoo Shops In Toronto

“Such a welcoming and relaxing environment and an amazing experience overall. Got my second tattoo here, the artists are beyond talented and willing to work around your wants. So excited to come back!“

“I am so, so, so happy with the result and the overall experience. Jesse is an AMAZING artist. My tattoo idea was quite tricky because of the anatomical placement and alignment (a script band wrapping around the wrist) and I could not be happier with how it turned out.

I was able to completely relax and let her do her magic because of her professionalism, artistic skill, attention to detail, and PATIENCE. Needless to say, I barely had to give any corrections (in fact, I only commented on the initial placement); Jesse understood exactly what I wanted and she DELIVERED.

I am genuinely so happy. Amazing place, amazing people, amazing experience. I was referred by a friend, and I’ll gladly take the baton and pass the recommendation along to anyone looking for a tattoo studio and an artist they can trust.

Thank you, Jesse, you are amazing (:“

“Great experience as a first time piercer the people who helped me made me feel comfortable and everything went smooth“

“My 6yo daughter and her friend just got their ears pierced with Kadie! Julia and Kadie welcomed us warmly and showed us the different type of earrings the girls can choose from. The atmosphere was clean and lively with beautiful plants.

Kadie explained the whole processed to the girls and explained every detail to us. She pinky promised the girls that she won’t do anything without their consent and the girls both took deep breaths in and bam! It was done! They didn’t even cry! We wanted to do tandem piercing but there wasn’t any other piercer on site today. We wanted to do it today before the girls lose their nerves. We are so so happy we did. The process was fast and efficient. Kadie played some demon hunter songs for the girls and let them hold Larry, her labubu for comfort.

1000% recommend Kadie!

The cost is higher than gun piercing at Claire’s but the rates of infection is much lower andddd the fact that the pain is also more minimal! We paid around $200 but it’s worth it. Dont forget to tip your piercer!“

“Brought my daughter for ear piercing. Super nice people, very accommodating, calm and my daughter said it was completely painless.“

“I had my first EVER tattoo done by the whimsical hands of Yeram it was the best experience ever! They got back to me super quick after I submitted a form and was able to bring what I had in my head to life with a fast turnaround time as well. They gave me detailed instructions before and after the tattoo which were super helpful. I felt comfortable from beginning to end and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist and first tattoo experience 🥹 Thank you Yeram!!“

“Had a great experience. I got a custom tattoo with Janet and the communication on the design was quick and smooth. The design went through a few iterations where after a free phone consultation and emails I got a design I love. Everything was very clean and safe which was a big priority for me. In addition the staff were very talkative and fun which made the 3 hours fly by.“

“A very clean professional studio artist is very creative.I would highly recommend anyone looking to get tattoos.“

“I've gotten a couple of tattoos from Makoto and he is incredible! Always brings my ideas to life and he's always super kind and professional. Everyone in the studio is amazing and super nice as well!“

“Great cut. Awesome decor. Total Dude. Very professional. Best place around for a good cut.“

“Nikol did the most beautiful job on my latest tattoo. The custom design was more than I could ever dream of. She is so talented, kind, and comforting. My husband who has never had a tattoo ever because he was nervous finally decided to get his first with Nikol after seeing her calmness and professionalism.“

“Love my lashes! I got the brown wispy set and they look absolutely beautiful—so natural and flattering. I’ve received so many compliments on them. The retention has been amazing too. Even with my seasonal allergies and all the eye rubbing that comes with them, my lashes still look almost as good as they did on day one!“

“Alanna has done all my tattoos, been going to this shop for 10 years now. Always an absolutely amazing time. She's very thoughtful and always puts my anxiety at ease. If you want a super professional, kind, and warm experience, I cannot recommend her or this shop enough. The newish location on College is beautiful! Truly a wonderful experience all around.“

“I had a great first experience getting a lobe piercing at North York Ink! I was nervous going in, but Taylor, my piercer, immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly kind, patient, and informative throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend North York Ink to anyone considering a piercing!“

“This was my first visit and I had a wonderful experience. I'm slowly getting a patchwork half sleeve done by different artists across Toronto, and I was blessed to have Nic add their art to my arm. The piece looks really amazing. The line work, and shading is perfect. Thank you, Nic.“

“I've been going here since 2022 for various facials and the entire team is amazing. Yuliya truly cares about her clients. I've never felt rushed getting a facial here. I got a facial before my wedding and Yuliya really went above and beyond taking extra time to make sure my skin is perfect and would be good before my big day!“

“Had a great experience! Our artist was talented and created the tattoo my sisters and I wanted, exactly as we wanted it. Shop is super clean.“

“Got my first proper tattoo here and could not recommend it enough. I was terrified and he made really good conversation throughout the whole thing and was very encouraging, honestly been the best part of my visit to Toronto and I’m really glad to have a piece to remember it by. Offered to take photos and brought out a whole (prop) katana which caught me off guard lol and even gave me extra product to heal with before sending me off with some recommendations of things to do in the area.

If you’re nervy with needles absolutely go here. He really cares about what goes on your body and was incredibly patient with making adjustments and the shop, including the people who frequent, are so friendly.“

“I got a custom tattoo done by Adrian last week! He is a very talented and creative artist. The shop had such a great vibe and all of the other artists are very skilled and knowledgeable (it was also very clean). I overall had a lovely experience and will be coming back. They are also very thorough and professional!! You guys are the best, thanks again :)“

“I loved the experience and the patience with my artist, inked by Ginn, they were helpful and gave me lots of comfort.“
