My wife and I have both gotten tattoos here and they turned out amazing…read more Prices are very fair compared to other shops. Everyone is very professional and polite. The shop is very clean and sterile. No chance of infection here. I'm currently in the process of getting a sleeve tattooed by Eugene and I couldn't be happier with how it's turning out! I highly recommend this place over any other tattoo or piercing studio in Ottawa. You wont be disappointed! Ps. I am not being paid by them to write this, I'm just surprised they haven't been on yelp yet so I figured I'd put them there!

My cousins and I went in for inuksuk tattoos, and were lucky enough to have tattoo artist Josh, an…read moreamazing artist and a very funny and laid back individual. We gave him a photo of what we wanted, and he created consistently awesome tattoos. When one of us would get nervous or when we were in pain, he was really good at making us laugh and taking our minds off of it. Everyone at the parlor was really nice and friendly. It was an awesome experience.

From start to finish, a process of about two hours, my visit to GAH was a meld of surprise and…read moredelight. Never having been tattooed prior, I had expected a dank and suspect back room of questionable dealings punctuated by a blend of potent spliffs and Satanic riffs. Imagine, then, my surprise when, upon opening the door, I entered the realm of SoHo cum Lillith Fair. "Parlour" as in "tattoo parlour" doesn't apply here; however, "parlour" as in "parlour house" does: The walls were decorated with a series of original pieces of art, reflecting the owner's desire to appeal to a feminine clientele and her own proclivities. Sateen couches, wood-panelled walls, and macrame creations are fastidiously arranged to conceal their spotlessly-clean tools of the trade. And the music?! Sublime! Aida's sense of the musical colour wheel is as keen as her eye for body art. (Believe me, as this was my first time, I checked them all out--but good!) No one else I know plays William Prince, The Doors, Ray Lamontange, and ' Zepp all in the same set. Girl, I salute the musical you. My art hostess for the morning was Marie. It seemed appropriate that my spitfire tattoo was being created by a living spitfire! Marie: very kind, very tough, very talented. After a very warm greeting we went over the "house rules," about which I had only a couple of questions. We reviewed them while I took the cafe au lait Marie made for me. After that, we spent a half hour adding finishing touches to the potential design. All adjustments were made on Marie's iPad before the applique was printed and affixed to my back--very 21st Century. The process began, and, with each pass of the artist's hand, Marie would express bleats of happiness with the piece and its progress. Both Aida and Chanelle, the owner of GAH, came over to admire and to offer suggestions. It became a spitfire-themed consultation and was most encouraging. Team work, indeed. Within an hour, my tribute to those who fought in the Battle of Britain was done. Pain, you ask? Not at all! None, whatsoever. It was like having someone gently scratch your back for 60 minutes. The "post op" instructions were clearly laid out, all in simple terms. Perfect for a dullard like me. I shall need to return in a few weeks, should the need arise, after I have lived with my new body art, to have any touchups and revisions done. It's all part of the price and the service. If the Gypsies would like to post a picture of the piece, they are welcome. Merci beaucoup, mes amis!

Here at Sage there is a booking person/front counter that streamlines the process for the shop. It makes it very easy and you know you are dealing with professionals. After looking at all the profiles of the artists, I chose one and was able to get in with a consult pretty quick. The establishment itself is clean, large, and has nice bathrooms. Everything about it is bright, clean, and open. After my consult we both agreed that this was a good fit and that she would be able to create a tattoo I would love. And sure enough it's awesome. I worked with Elle and have done two full days with her. Sitting in the shop was nice as you can see everyone else and what's going on in the shop. I liked the open feel of it and it did distract me during the more painful spots. I highly recommend this tattoo shop.

I don't not recommend ear piercings for children or maybe even for adults at this establishment…read more I'm generally a very understanding person, but I am hoping this review with save another mother from having this horrible experience happen to them. Trying to use a small business in a small town didn't pay off. I should have went to a big corporation business, who probably put more care into this very important event than this establishment. To begin the piercing gun malfunctioned while piercing my child's ear. Piercing was placed very high on the ear almost close to the cartilage of the ear and not the lobe. After reaching back out requesting a refund due to the piercers error. She replied with made-up up policy jargon and excuses why they cannot refund. Pretty close to a scam or lack of business etiquette. As anyone can understand I don't feel comfortable returning my child back to that provider to recify the issue of placement with another peircing done.
