PERFECT IMAGE STUDIO REVIEWS

I went to perfect image to have a tattoo fixed and added too (another studio botched it), and Steve completely saved it!!!! Since then I have had 4 large scale tattoos all done by Steve, and I am confident at this point that he is the only artist I will have do my pieces! He is artistic, understands shading / light sources, very friendly and has been helping to guide me in the right direction so that all my tattoos are cohesive with one another. His rates are extremely fair and I don’t have a single bad thing to say about him or any of the staff here. 100% recommend Steve and this studio for tattoos as well as piercings (we had my daughters ears pierced here a year ago and they also did amazing!!!! )

Went in with my SIL, and let me say SHANTAL IS AMAZING!! Together we got a helix, tragus, and flat, and she did such an amazing job. She was super friendly and professional, making sure we were okay every step of the way! We’re definitely coming back!!

Got this amazing tattoo done with the artist Steven Garrett. Couldn't have found a better artist to do this tattoo imo. He is an expert at shading and realism. He even went the extra mile in finding the proper font for the words. 100% would recommend this artist and place to anyone.

TORA TATTOO & TD LASER CLINIC REVIEWS

I had a great experience with these guys. They were friendly, open and talented. One of the sons did my tattoo (I'm terrible with names) and he was clean, professional and cool. If you're in the market for a tattoo, check them out - they've been around for a long time.

Amazing experience and absolutely in love with my tattoo!!! Chris did an amazing job and was so accommodating to my needs. Will definitely be going back in the future!

Favourite tattoo shop by far! Clean, relaxed environment, amazing staff, and incredible work. Highly recommend..

STEEL N INK WATERLOO REVIEWS

Super great experience, just make sure 7 years minimum age for kids, we were fine but didn't realize there was a cutoff. Sarah pierced my daughter's ears and she was amazingly kind and gentle. Made the experience so smooth and there were no tears at all. 100% recommend Sarah for piercings for kids.

Got my thirds done with Vicc. she was awesome. super kind and made me feel comfortable during the piercing. she showed me all available studs for the piercing and explained the after care process. thanks!

Nose ring change and conch earring change. Sarah is always wonderful, so sweet, kind and gentle. Great on sizing etc too for the perfect fit!
