    Father and Son Tattoo

    My Son and I had 2 identical Father and Son tattoos done on opposite arms . Master Shark took the time to draw out our request and apply our Ink in the most professional manner. This was my first tattoo and a half sleeve . I would recommend the team at Hon Tattoo without reservation

    Honestly, I want to start this review by saying I've gotten 4 tattoos out of this shop and have been a client since 2018 would have gotten more as well, but I do not take kind to me addressing a valid concern I have and having my appointment canceled and not be given an alternative artist out of the shop or resolution. When that's not at all what I wanted I just wanted some reassurance and possibly a solution to my already existing tattoo. Then after their apology I was told that "the tattoo was done a year ago" insinuating that is why the line work is uneven... Tattoos are supposed to last a lifetime and I can tell u I have many tattoos and they look the same years later. Even tho I was there last month for them to correct the issue and even booked another tattoo with the same artist. I had a previous issue in this shop as well back in 2018 with the way one of their artist conducted themself on the phone they actually told me to take my business else where. They apologized for that even provided me with a free tattoo as an apology and a reason to come back. I will not be back after this.

    I got my first tattoo here! Very happy with their patience and service given I was a walk-in!!! Def would recommend a first-timer to here! The other tattoo shops seemed to have a long wait (according to their Yelp reviews) and mine was somewhat impulsive so I decided to do a walk-in on this one! Minsol was my tattoo artist, I feel like she was more of a perfectionist than I am on my own tattoo which felt very reassuring. I had a design in mind so I was showing her pictures and giving a description of what I actually wanted. She went over every single detail with me very patiently and SUPER friendly. At points where I felt bad for being picky, she encouraged me to keep adjusting until I am happy with it completely. I got my tattoo on the wrist, it didn't hurt me at all (everyone's pain level is different though), I just felt some buzzing on my arm! It came out exactly like how I wanted it to be. The staff there were also very friendly and WELCOMING :) which is a big thing for me given I don't know much about tattoo stuff. I am on post-care day1.5 right now, will update my review as it heals. It was an awesome first tattoo experience so far.

    Got this custom Betta/geometric piece from Peter yesterday! This is my 3rd one from him and it's been a great experience every time. He's so nice and is super awesome at helping you create something to bring your ideas to life. Took over 4 hours but it was worth all the pain and money! 100% recommend visiting Peter whether it's for your 1st or 10th Tattoo. Will definitely be coming back soon.

    Before and after of my semicolon heart. Because I love myself and my story is most definitely not over.

    I've been wanting to get another tattoo for quite some time and I had been checking reviews with Hon Tattoo for months now. I finally took the plunge and made an appointment for this past Monday. I'm so glad I did. As simple a tattoo as it was how it came out and Shem did such a great job on it. I love it! It has a lot of meaning for me and I absolutely love it! The North York studio has an open and relaxed atmosphere which was completely different than the last place I went to. I love that you can see the other clients and artists. They also had some music playing in the background which for me, helped to tone down the adrenaline while Shem got to work. Lots of pictures on the walls also provided a nice distraction and gave a feel for each of the artists' work. I'd recommend coming here if this is your first tattoo or just another in your lineup. Thank you so much and I can't wait to get my next tattoo which will definitely be with you guys!

Kyle spoke matter-of-factly without making me feel silly for asking simple questions as a grown adult. i also really appreciate speaking to someone instead of just panicking while reading the FAQ page over and over!! fast forward to a month later, i made an appointment to get my lobes pierced! taylor was my piercer and they were absolutely wonderful to be in the care of. i told them exactly how nervous i was and they didn't sugarcoat that i'd definitely feel it -- it would hurt like a pinch hurts and i'd feel some heat, this is natural -- and they jokingly reassured me that if i hated the first piercing, i could stop at one (lol). it's been 8 weeks with my studs in and they've healed amazingly. taylor not only did an amazing job with the piercing, but they gave me really concise care tips and a business card with their info in case i needed to reach out about my piercings. i don't think i can sing high enough praises of the folks at new tribe! TL;DR: - spoke with kyle at the front of house and was pierced by taylor. both were absolute gems of human beings - overall very pleasant and calm experience as a nervous person - very knowledgeable and non-judgmental - thorough website w/ FAQs - would definitely come back if i ever wanted more piercings!! - studs are flat back - variety of studs to pick from for the piercing (some with price upgrades)

First the artist took out a spring green - almost neon - that looked nothing like the picture. I pointed this out and he got annoyed by went all over the shop finding a correct looking green - it seems the first one was only being used because it was the only green ink he had at his station. Shading was added that I never asked for and overall when the tattoo was 'done' I was incredibly unhappy with it - the lines were wonky, parts looked unfinished and the shading was too heavy. This was particularly upsetting as this was a memorial tattoo for my brother who passed away in October and the tattoo is on a highly visible part of my body. I tried to describe to the artist how I would want it fixed and he didn't seem to be willing to listen - keeping insisting he could fix it with more shading and white ink. He also pulled up his instagram to show me his other work when I said I didn't like it insisting 'he does great tattoos' and 'as fourteen years in the business' which came across incredible unprofessional and very not understanding g of me hating the current tattoo he was working on. I asked if there was another artist available to finish the tattoo as I was uncomfortable continuing with him and was told no. The tattoo is healing horribly, at only a week old it a faded scabby mess, as shown in the pictures below. I have reached out to the shop twice about this being fixed and have heard nothing back.

    Since I was in high school, I've always wanted a tattoo with a very specific design - a realistic…read morehand holding a rose. Lucky me, I got my friend to sketch the original design pour moi, and it looked almost identical to what I envisioned it to be like. Since then, I started doing my homework & researching different artists' and shops' styles available in Toronto. After coming across two other major Toronto parlours in realism tattoos, a friend recommended Black Widow to me. I decided to do a round of consultations with all three shops to make the final call. Black Widow, and specifically, my artist Jazz @tattoowool, REALLY stood out of the other two when it comes to the consultation process. Not only was she detailed & precise throughout the consultation (asking all the right questions, e.g., how the hand should look like, the orientation of the rose), but she sounded very caring and compassionate throughout the conversation. These were all the green flags I was looking for from an artist who would leave a permanent art piece on me until the day I die. The consultation was very reassuring and a lot more promising than the other two consultations I had; hence, I made up my mind to go with Black Widow & Jazz. After another call with the shop manager, Jackson, I e-transferred the shop deposit. Upon my arrival, all staffs working at the shop were amicable and welcoming, especially my artist, Jazz and Jackson. I felt relaxed and let Jazz do the magic while listening to a podcast. The whole process went smooth like butter, and the end product looks exactly like the way I've always wanted it. Due to how I wanted it larger than initially discussed on the phone, I booked a second appointment a month later to let Jazz finish the piece by adding more shading/colour. After both sessions, Jackson reached out to me via email to ensure that I was doing fine while reminding me of the aftercare. Thank you for all these follow-ups, I made sure that the tattoo received the proper care & I recovered well from it. I want to say thank you to Jazz & Jackson again for the amazing experience & the elegant piece of art on me forever. Without a doubt, I'll be back soon.

My nipple piercings have been a rough ride. I didn't get them pierced at Adrenaline (first mistake lol, I got them pierced in Halifax on a whim during a trip). But here's where the good people at Adrenaline started to take care of me... One got infected and I needed a larger barbel. They changed that out and it instantly felt better! More room to breathe *never had issues with this nipple again*. Other nipple ring fell out and I didn't notice (due to some activities lol); tried to put it back in myself and that didn't work - I almost contemplated leaving it out but nah. Went to Adrenaline and they put it back in, beauty. NOW it started to act all brand new and decided that it too needed some breathing room, so I came back and had it changed to a new barbell (shoutout to Luke). I think it should behave now A part from my nipple piercing story, I've gotten a tattoo here as well as bought and changed a nose ring. End of the story, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
