I just wish I went with my friend that had to work instead of the one I went with. It was a strained atmosphere because I think the one that went with me didn't want to go. Next time I go, I will go with my origional friend...then it will be like a party. Yes...there will be a next time..I know know why people can't stop at one. BTY..I am female and over 50 :)

My boyfriend was over charged for his tattoo. It was quoted at $350, mins you he had already paid…read morehis deposit 2 weeks prior, so the total should have only been $300 plus taxes, but they had added his already paid deposit into his total and somehow by the end of everything he had to pay $395 (which they had added extra plus the deposit which was already paid as stated prior) After the deposit and the final payment the total amount was $451. Then when he told them the deposit was already paid they still made him pay the $395. So very unimpressed and feeling super angry.

Normally a professional artist would send ideas before the appt, so that the customer can approve or voice their opinion prior to the appt. I did not hear from him and when I showed up the day of, he only then started the sketch. I didn't agree with what he had. I had one simple lettering tattoo done that day, and have still waited for the artist to get back to me. Through one email he stated he's busy with other people's sketches who have appts booked. Mine was booked from oct 25 and he has failed to work on mine despite still having a deposit. I've asked and he won't refund my deposit and doesn't seem to want to work something out as far as doing the tatt I have a deposit in for. Very unprofessional, fraudulent at best.

My artist Janine was sensitive to this being my first time and the purpose of my tattoo. We discussed the best design and placement of the tattoo, which was very important to me. This tattoo represented the coordinates of where my husband ashes were laid to rest. She was then proceeded very gently to create this wonderful memorial to my husband. I am so thankful to everyone at Steel N Ink for making this an almost painless and wonderful experience. Thank you Janine... I would certainly recommend you to my friends and family.

Re: Steel N Ink WATERLOO…read more RUN AWAY FROM THIS STUDIO! Billing practices are highly questionable! Staff will quote one price and you could be charged something completely different and arbitrary! There is zero flexibility with respect to compromise and/or customer satisfaction. I was quoted $180 for the work I inquired about and was subsequently charged $360 plus tax. They refuse to problem-solve over the phone (i.e., Sarah Taylor) and prefer to play on the defensive, rather than acknowledge miscommunication. Highly disappointing. Sarah suggested that she prefers emailing so they can better track the complaint process - a perfect avoidance tactic and signs of questionable leadership. All in all, this shop is seemingly more interested in the bottom line, rather than offering accurate and clear information (either over the phone, on their website or via email). I am happy to share my email communications with anyone contemplating using this shop for their next tattoo. RUN AWAY AND RUN FAST! #SteelNInk

Checked my pic's offered advice and scheduled me for later in the afternoon. Terry received me at 4 and set up shop. Had great chair-side manner and made me (and my wife) feel comfortable.

Rabbit came back and checked up on us also and chatted us up a bit more. 30 min in the chair and done. Tatt looks great ..... and feels good this morning. Just touched it for the first time, I can barely feel it, my skin isn't even raised. Colour looks great. I'm very happy. Would recommend the shop and both of the men that I dealt with. True pros!

If you need a tattoo artist to create a beautiful neotraditional piece of your animal, she is the best artist in the area. I get more compliments on this tattoo than any of the other work I have had done. People always notice how beautiful it is. Fantastic artist to work with. Have recommended her to many of my friends and family since then & hope to work with her more in the future. Cannot rate her highly enough. The other artists that work at this shop are tremendously skilled at their respective styles as well & the shop has a very chill/welcoming vibe all around.
