Motor City has a great idea of hosting piercing/ tattoo parties! During the party my friends and I did, there was roughly 11-13 of us but, Motor City welcomed as many as we wanted. Kyle was extremely professional and helpful setting up the event. He allowed us to be flexible with our timing of the event, hosting after hours. He was quick to respond and was always available to answer any questions myself or any others had. Kyle and Kait completed the piercings. They made everyone feel extremely welcome and those that were nervous calm. They assisted in mapping out piercings and planning future ones with the girls as well. They were patient marking the piercing and giving people the time they needed to decide if it was in the correct spot. I have personally been pierced by both of them and have nothing but good things to say! Justin completed the tattoos. He did my first tattoo ever for me this night and walked me through the steps and really ensured I felt comfortable. I absolutely LOVE my tattoo and it healed beautifully! I get compliments on the shading all the time. He also drew up a tattoo that night too for one person that decided they wanted one there! Everyone had a great time and were all talking about the next piercing party. I would highly recommend to those that want to have a fun night and maybe need a little encouragement to get that piercing they've been wanting with friends! read more

In 2016 I came to this establishment for permanent make up remover. Lorena due to her lack of knowledge and experience MAIMED me for life. This has affected the quality of my life enormously for the last 8 years. The scar on my face cannot heal or be removed at all or be covered with anything. On reflection I should've sued Lorena and the business because of the impact it left on my life. These people think it is a joke to maimed another person for life. Do not recommend this poorly run business where everything is just about money. read more

If you looking for a good tattoo that you have in mind please except this place to translate into an art, i would suggest you stay away. Absolutely no creative from the artist i dealt with, all about money gauging. I went in for a tattoo view i saw art that's my 5 yr son could draw better. Stay away!! read more

Hands down my favourite place to get pierced. Everyone is always so friendly in the shop and the piercings are always super fast. I've got 5 piercings done here so far and I can't wait to go back! read more

Not very impressed with motor city had to wait almost a year to get a tattoo ended up getting my deposit back. Not very organized artist leave that are to tattoo you and they don't even call you. I don't think it's a very good place to go . I won't go back And way to much money to give up front read more

We walked in on a Friday afternoon to get my 7.5 month old's ears pierced. Kyle and Justin did an amazing job! They were so patient and the procedure was so quick I couldn't believe it. Then again, they've been doing this for years. They were also very accommodating in booking my husband's tattoo appointment, even checking if any artists were available that day. Highly recommend Motor City Tattoos! read more

I recently had a tattoo done at this place of business and regret it every day. During the consultation he presented me a stencil with the font & style of the tattoo that we agreed upon and told me that he could create. The resulting tattoo lines were crude & thick lines that I feel wrecked the tattoo. None of the 3 separate butterflies look like the stencil at all. When I returned to show them the results, the owner had 2 other artists look at his work said neither felt they could help me fix it. They said it was made with too thick of black needles and that apprentices usually don't know how to use thin needles. None of that was indicated to me in advance at the consultation. I knew the tattoo artist was learning the trade but believed in him and Motor City that it would be done right. They made me sign an agreement that since he was still learning it may not be perfect for a reduced fee. The reality is that no other artists checked in on the process, in fact he was having a conversation with the others (including the owner) while working on my tattoo. I followed the tattoo care instructions that they provided. I did do a light work out a few days later but nothing strenuous. (I ran on a treadmill...) I am disappointed that I felt like this person was competent to provide the tattoo as well as the stencil he prepared for me. I am disappointed that if they have enough concern for a disclaimer that they knew he was still learning, that they didn't have someone check in on his work or at the very least not potentially distract him during the process. I am disappointed that when I returned to see if they could help that they couldn't. They made me feel like I was to blame for trusting their employee. They made me feel like one trip to the gym somehow was to blame, They did offer laser correction for 50% reduced fee, but that still adds costs to me and added pain. I feel that they should better stand behind their customer. I have to look at the tattoo every day and wish I never went there. I agreed to a stencil that was everything I wanted but didn't get. Without prejudice, these are just my opinions, of which I am entitled to. read more

Day is incredible. I've searched for years to find "my" artist. Somebody I can trust to draw anything and I know I will love it. Somebody that makes me feel like she's just as excited as I am for the tattoo. Honestly, if Day moved to Kentucky, I would still find a way to get tattooed by her. Every time. She is so easy to talk to, every single piece she does is vibrant and she is SO KIND. The entire shop compliments each other and makes you feel a part of the team. This shop has stolen my whole heart from start to finish and I will never go anywhere else. read more

I don't know if they sterilized their equipment properly or not, but I ended up contracting a very serious case of MRSA from my first piercing. I had my belly button pierced and a few weeks later I started developing boils all over my body, which I later found out was a serious staph infection. Took me about six months to fully get rid of it. Make sure the piercers are using BRAND NEW needles and that they sterilize everything properly, including clamps. read more

Owner overcharged us and tried to tell my husband she was doing him a favor by giving him a cash deal. His session was 3 hrs, which would be $508.50 including taxes, he paid a deposit of $150 when he booked. When he went to pay after his tattoo was done she told him he owed $458, he asked how that was possible when he had paid a deposit, she said if he paid cash she would do him a favor, he gave her $350 and she said he owed her $14 mor, he was so frustrated, he just gave it to her. He ended up paying $514. When I emailed them asking how they could justify telling him they were doing him a favor then over charge him, I received no response, despite providing them with both a phone number and email! We have 5 people in our family who are getting tattoos this year and Motorcity has lost all of our business because of this! read more

I got a couple of my piercings there and it's quite overpriced. Kyle is excellent, he did my nose, but that girl that they have is a NASTY, RUDE "you know what". She was very rough when I was getting it done as well. When I came back to ask some questions, as I had developed a keloid, she was extremely rude and informed me that I had taken the jewelry out of my conch too early (which was false) and that was the reason why. I did what she said, applied tea tree oil, and it still didn't go away (which of course, isn't her fault, but it's relevant to the story). I ended up getting antibiotics from my doctor and it cleared immediately. Go to Taunton Tattoo in North Oshawa instead. read more

Got my nose pierced here, and had to eventually take it out after 6 weeks because it was infected. I knew it wasnt my fault because I was taking wonderful care of it. I went to another piercing shop and they informed me that Motor City Tattoos completely used the wrong type of jewelry, way too big for my nose, and did the entire thing unproper. Will never go back as this was an impulse decision to get it pierced and I'm so disappointed read more

WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. Quite possibly the worse business in Oshawa. Don't go here. RUN~save your money for a place that is concerned about their customers, not just the almighty dollar. And don't fall for the "touch-ups are free" spiel. You have to book an appt and leave $40. Poor business run by wanna be artists. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. read more

Service is beyond rude...artist not once asked if I was ok or explained anything. I had to question their hygiene practice. Art work was too big for the area but not bad. Will not go back again. read more
