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. He was a good guy and had a very light hand....didn't hurt much at all. He even let me use his phone charger while we worked! 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're ever having any sort of crisis in your life or need to redirect some energy, getting a…read morepiercing is the best distraction in my opinion. A little bit of pain for an instant change to your self and then lasting pain and care while it heals! I should get a hobby. I did a lot of research for different studios around the city. A main concern of mine was the quality of the piercers. I liked that their Instagram did feature the work of their piercers and tagged them so you could check out what they've done in the past. They list their piercing prices on the website and they differ based on placements. I found their prices to be average. Some places were way higher (double in some cases!) across the board, even for simple piercings. I prebooked online and was able to select a time. I had to pay the piercing fee upfront which was $40 for a rook piercing. They clearly explain the fees while booking. On the day of the piercing, they recommend that you eat at least 3 hours before your appointment. They have a lot of reception staff working there. I was kind of surprised! I had to fill out a waiver that had a bit of information on my health history (mostly to do with whether I had an issues with bleeding) and whether needles would impact me. I was taken to the piercing area at the back after that. I checked out the jewelry first. I was never rushed to pick faster which I appreciated. Jewelry isn't cheap! I liked how transparent my piercer was with the costs of jewelry. They had a tablet that was able to quickly pull up prices so I could decide what I was okay with. Some of these pieces were several hundred dollars so it was good to know before checkout. All in all my total price tag was around $350 and if you worked out the earlier math from before you can see how much some of the jewlery cost! It is definitely a little pricey but expected. They carry great brands like BVLA and Junipurr so it's not unexpected. One thing I was a little disappointed about was that they didn't carry much in rose gold, only white and yellow gold. They carry some piercing aftercare there like the Neilmed rinses which are a little expensive at $22 a bottle but convenient since you can get it during your appointment.

customer service:…read more backstory, i was asking an artist about the removal of the second skin and how sometimes they are sticky residue afterwards (which I called about on my back). I spoke to a gentleman named Travis. and he was more than helpful and asking other artists around the shop on my behalf to give me steps to remove it. definitely helped me out. wish i had him as my artist, he was very kind and a patient.

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

If you need a tattoo artist to create a beautiful neotraditional piece of your animal, she is the best artist in the area.

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.
