    Won a free piercing with the purchase of an Anatometal opal and rose gold flower stud through Ryen's Instagram account. Booking was quick and same day through their easy and user friendly online system. When we got there, the waiting area was spacious and welcoming. A lot of tattoo shops/piercing parlours can have a hard and intimidating atmosphere, but Human Kanvas was clean and modern and seemed more like a trendy retail store than your stereotypical tattoo parlour. The girl at the front desk was an absolute gem - my one year old son had a love affair with her, and she was so friendly and super helpful; I'm only sorry I never grabbed her name. All of the clients that came in were down to earth and friendly, and interacted with my son and I. Oh! Yes, I brought my one year old son in his stroller and he fit right in. I wouldn't say this place is like, a next level daycare, but it's not like you walk in with your kid and feel like you have to leave them in the car while you get your piercing done. Ryen was an absolute doll and [obviously] a total master of the piercing trade. I've never had a piercing done at a parlour before. I've only ever had lobe and cartilage piercings (8 at one point) done with a gun at my local Merle Norman's and/or Shoppers Drug Mart. Everything was SUPER clean. Immaculate and tasteful in cleanliness and appearance. Ryen placed the stud in the perfect spot and did such a thorough job of explaining everything and walking me through the entire process. I'm SO impressed with the service and atmosphere and level of professionalism exemplified by all of the staff and clientele at Human Kanvas. I am eager to come back to have future piercings and/or tattoos done. And may I say, the quality of my Anatometal earring is... next level awesome. I didn't realize there was ever better quality than what was available at Merle Norman, to be honest. Now I want to change up all my hardware to rose gold opalescent bling haha I'm also really happy with all the information Ryen gave me regarding getting my daughter's lobes pierced. She is so honest and genuine, yet totally bad @$$. I'm really really happy. And so far, my piercing is healing SO well. My only gripe is the cost, and that's likely just my own darn fault for getting used to going the cheap route and receiving a mediocre experience. You are paying for quality hardware and equipment, expertise and cleanliness, etc. Don't walk in thinking you're gonna drop $50 total on a piercing. But I can almost guarantee that you'll be so happy with the experience that you'll be able to justify the end result.

    Saw Tina a couple of days ago for a flash tattoo, and boy was I impressed. She was super nice, funny and especially talented. She did everything she could to make my first tattoo the best experience I could get. When I walked in, the studio looked pristine clean and the receptionist was really nice. Tina was finishing up another tattoo so I waited in the waiting room, and everything looked great. She obviously knows what she's doing, and she's really really good. She was quick and efficient, and charges a really reasonable price for her work. I will definitely come back to see her for a custom piece. If you're looking for animal/nature tattoos, Tina is your person!

    Disappointing Experience - Faded Tattoo in Days…read more My friend and I came in to get matching tattoos on the sides of our hands--an area we knew could be tricky, but we expected a bit more care and guidance. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. The artist offered little support or direction during the design process and didn't explain the level of fading we might expect clearly. We were asked to sign the hand waivers after the tattoo was completed. We were told it would fade over time, but within just 2-3 days, one tattoo had nearly vanished and the other was missing large chunks. When we brought this to the studio's attention, the manager cited their "hand tattoo policy" but ultimately refused to stand by their work. We were told we could pay again to get it touched up. Instead of offering a resolution or at least a courtesy touch-up, we were told we'd have to pay again to fix tattoos that didn't even last a week. I understand that hand tattoos can be tricky, but this was poorly handled. Lack of support, lack of follow-through, and a lack of accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone--especially if you're hoping for both quality work and respectful customer service. After speaking and showing other artists the work, they agreed that it was poorly done and not deep Enough. Save your money and stay away!!!!

    My son and I went there twice over about a 4 month period, spending close to five thousand dollars…read more First time I was very happy. Second time, the ink fell out faster than it went in. You can't even tell what the tattoo is supposed to be. So I called about getting some touch ups done. I was told no problem but here's the catch. I have to pay the $200 per hour to get touch ups done. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous.

    My Husband and I came in for our consult with Ryan on June 28th. At which time we booked our…read moreappointments together for July 19th as it was our wedding anniversary. During our consult, it was decided that Ryan would do my tattoo first as it would only take an hour or so, whereas my husband's could take at least 3. We showed up on the 19th and found out Ryan had switched our appointments. He decided to do my husbands first and then mine, which I was fine with, until.... Ryan made a comment about not seeing my tattoo appointment and not having the picture we provided him with, which was odd because everything was sent in one email. I sat in your shop for over an hour during which time I listened to a conversation between your artists who were discussing your 48 hr cancellation policy. Then a 1/4 of the way through my husband's tattoo I get told I may not even get my tattoo that day. He said we could reschedule and that he would even come in on his day off! We were supposed to be getting our tattoos together on our anniversary! I was pissed and left the shop! I sat in my car alone in your parking lot for another 3.5 hrs waiting for my husband (hoping I'd get my tattoo) on my ONLY day off in 6 days, on my wedding anniversary for an appointment we had booked 3 weeks prior! Then I find out Ryan cancelled my appointment but kept the appointment after me!! Who does that? That right there is a shitty business and shitty customer service!!! He literally cancelled my appointment the day of, on the spot (we drove in from Airdrie), and he had the nerve to take his next appointment!!! I am curious as to why his next appointment was more IMPORTANT then the one I had, had scheduled for 3 weeks? At no point did Ryan check to see if I was mad, nor did he attempt to reschedule my appointment. The response I received from the shop owner after I sent a message was just as bad!!! If I could give this shop a -10 I would!!!! They ruined what was supposed to be a happy and exciting day for my husband and I! We will NOT be back anytime in the future, nor will we be recommending your shop to anyone we know!
