He takes $250 an hr with endless breaks & interruptions throughout. Runs back & forth to The Knox wine bar he owns with all the drama. Have ran into other people who had bad ink done by him. A lot of lines that bled out. Also said He was VERY rough and hard with the gun pressure. Total shitshow. Unprofessional.

I recently got a tattoo here and it was a very pleasant experience! Firstly, I did the booking…read moreonline--filled in their online form and they contacted me after via email to get more specifics for the tattoo I was requesting. From there, they were able to give me a price estimate, match me with a suitable artist, and schedule my appointment. They required an $80 + tax deposit (nonrefundable) which is deducted from the total price of the tattoo. I did have to reschedule my appointment once, which they accommodated. However, their rules/fine print does seem a bit complicated for rescheduling if you need more than two. Upon entering the shop, there was no one at the front desk (I had an 11:00 AM appointment), but another artist working there pointed me towards the waiver. My artist came in and seated me, then we discussed the tattoo I wanted. She was able to make the requested changes to the type (I got a script tattoo) on the spot, and we got to tattooing! I had Athena and she made me feel super comfortable throughout the experience, making sure to check in on me every few minutes. The interior has a great design, is sanitary, and filled with nice artists and staff. I also love that there's such a high quality, reputable tattoo shop in Markham! (And I didn't have to make the trip downtown) I'd love to come back here!

I came here for my second ever tattoo and I am absolutely blown away by the AMAZING service I got!…read moreI am obsessed with my tattoo and I can't stop looking at it. I got one of Kris' flash pieces and was already super excited for it since Chronic Ink is known to be the best of the best in Toronto. Kris was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about what would look best. I trust her completely with her expertise. She was super nice and bubbly during the whole experience and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire 3 hours. She geuinely put so much care and effort into the tattoo and it REALLY showed in the art that is now on my arm. I cannot recommend her enough and I'm so impressed by the whole experience! Parking here is going to be annoying since they're doing construction on Eglinton and the road is closed in front of Chronic. It is only a short walk away from Eglinton Station so it's very accessible by TTC. It is a little tricky to find just because the sidewalk ends just slightly past Chronic, but don't let this confuse you! You do not need to cross to the other side! You might miss the door but it's definitely there with a short walk up a flight of stairs.

I went around 6:30pm, the wait was around an hour, with a long lineup, so go early! The studio is located upstairs, there is seating in the waiting area. You can fill out a form then return later to get your piercing if you like. The actual piercing experience was great, the piercer was very nice, and professional even at the end of the day. It was one of the most painless piercings I've had, with sanitary processes. (I've had a ton of piercings and let me tell you this piercer was truly skilled and amazing). Prices after tax and tip around $32, they accept cash and card. If you leave a review you can choose some free jewelry.

I had sent them the image ahead of time with another image for an idea of shading. We talked to Bahador & made an appointment for the actual tattoo session for both of us. The day of the session we waited a bit as Bahador was with another client & finishing up. We showed him the images again & decided on the size & placement of the tattoo on each of us. Hubby went first & I waited on the couch nearby. It took about 1.5 hours for his session. Then I was next. Hubby had his tattoo placed on his forearm & I had mine placed on my left shoulder. Bahador was professional & nice. I kind of wondered if he was bored because our design was really simple. But we picked him because we really liked his other work that we saw on instagram. I think if I get another tattoo that is more elaborate I would like him to do it. He's very talented. The receptionist Talin (spelling) was really nice also. Her personality is friendly & bubbly. She offered us a drink while we waited. I opted for a simple bottle of water. There is a single washroom on the main floor for customers. There is also a lower level where some other artists work but we didn't go there so I'm not sure what it looks like. The main floor though is very brightly lit. The floors are white tiles. And the walls are white also. The tattoo chairs are black with silver hardware. Everything is very clean. Anyway, we were very satisfied with our matching tattoos. We also think the price was reasonable. I would come back here if I ever get another tattoo. Hubby has been here before & so has my SIL.
