Vanity is a higher-end piercing studio. It was a real pleasure to visit today to get my nostril…read morere-pierced. The shop is bright and clean, though it does smell like embalming fluid due to it being right next to a funeral home where they do embalmings. Nothing they can do about that... Keri did my piercing and she was so kind and professional. She really knows her stuff...Even though I have had my nostril pierced before, Keri still took the time to talk about aftercare. Keri walked me through everything ahead of time, answered any questions that I had about jewelry options and price. During the procedure Keri was attentive and asked me how I was doing. Of course it hurt, like any piercing does, but her bedside manner was awesome! I will be returning to Vanity in the future, once my piercing heals to have her pierce another nose ring beside the one I just got done today. Vanity also has a large collection of barbells, so I am looking forward to also changing my Industrial piercing with a barbell that is a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

By far the best piercing experience I've ever had. I booked an appointment with them to get my…read moreseptum piercing done. Tine, my piercer, was wonderful, taking the time to answer any questions I had about my septum piercing. You can tell she really loves and cares about what she is doing, and it made me feel comfortable at ease knowing that I was in good hands. I'm so happy with my septum and it seems to be healing well. The next best thing about this place (besides their piercers and jewellery selection) is that they provide or offer follow up check ups to see how you well your piercing is healing. I would 100% recommend booking an appointment with this place, you will not be disappointed!

The Ink Spot is an established tattoo shop on Bank St. that has been around for 13 years. The shop…read moreis small, but it is very clean and recently went through a renovation earlier this year. It is a little far from the downtown core, but that is part of the charm. I do not see The Ink Spot as a "street shop", like the shops that you see on Rideau St.. The Ink Spot has a regular and loyal clientele that keep returning, myself included. I have been getting tattooed exclusively at The Ink Spot for about 2 years now. I have been tattooed by Shawn, Pierre, and Greg. I have also been pierced a couple of times by Chris. Everyone at the shop are super professional and courteous. I highly recommend The Ink Spot to anyone in the Ottawa area looking to get inked! You will not be disappointed!

Here at Sage there is a booking person/front counter that streamlines the process for the shop. It makes it very easy and you know you are dealing with professionals. After looking at all the profiles of the artists, I chose one and was able to get in with a consult pretty quick. The establishment itself is clean, large, and has nice bathrooms. Everything about it is bright, clean, and open. After my consult we both agreed that this was a good fit and that she would be able to create a tattoo I would love. And sure enough it's awesome. I worked with Elle and have done two full days with her. Sitting in the shop was nice as you can see everyone else and what's going on in the shop. I liked the open feel of it and it did distract me during the more painful spots. I highly recommend this tattoo shop.

He was quick, efficient, and I literally felt no pain. After he was done, he told me to come back in two months so that they could assess how my piercing was healing / I could switch it out for another piece of jewelry. The whole thing cost me $62 ($55 + tax and a standard ring). Totally reasonable and, overall, I had a great experience. Tim is amazing, and I'll be back to see him for any other piercings in the future.
