Julien sat us down individually and designed the tats effortlessly. It was mind blowing. He then tatted each of us individually (only 1 person allowed upstairs in the tatting area). So we chilled downstairs near the cafe (it's so cool you can get something to drink while you wait). I had a matcha green tea with oat milk, was not good but I drank it. Anyway, I am IN LOVE with my tattoo and Julien did a PHENOMENAL JOB I'M BLOWN!! No after care instructions are given and though I'm not new to tattoos, I've never had the saniderm on after getting tattooed so some after care instructions would have been nice (we had to look up some instructions online). It's cash only so be prepared. They do have an ATM but you will be charged fees by your bank They didn't provide a receipt which was also lowkey annoying but I didn't argue it. I will be getting my next tat with Julien (contact through insta)

I have been tattooed at this location four times, once by an artist who is no longer there, and three other times by Ashley Dale. I cannot say enough great things about the shop. It is super conveniently located, very clean, and has friendly staff to make sure you feel welcome. They even have clothes for sale with some of the artists' work that was suuuper well priced on my last visit. Ashley's work has always been beautiful and is consistently the pieces of mine that I get asked about most on the street. You wouldn't believe the number of people who stopped me in Costa Rica to point out my Dali tattoo. Overall the artists in the shop are great across the board and the place is clean, stylish and very well maintained. You shouldn't have any hesitation about trusting the artists here to put out great work.

I had an older upper arm tattoo that I had wanted to get covered up for years. I was discussing my…read morepassion for Irezumi (Japanese traditional tattoo style) with a friend one day, who referred me to Jonathan at Private Tattoo. Within a week, I visited with Jonathan at the studio, where we exchanged some creative ideas for a cover-up piece. I was instantly impressed with the art on the walls, the cleanliness of the location, and the warmth and professionalism that I was greeted with. I loved the concept that we discussed, and loved the sketch Jonathan came up with a few days later even more. My tattoo healed beautifully, and still pops nearly 2 years later. Private Tattoo has since been my go-to - I later got a second custom piece that turned out more brilliant than I could have imagined. The artists at Private Tattoo are as talented as they are experienced. Their process is collaborative, ensuring that people end up with something that meets and exceeds their expectations. I'm already thinking of what my next tattoo will be, and I know exactly where I'll go to bring it to life!

A few week before a trip to Montreal, I started to look at some artists in Montreal. I came across Meghan at Private Tattoo. I really like her style and found an older tattoo that she had done. On a whim, I messaged her and she had availability while I was in town. I had told her in the message what I had liked and what I had in mind. Day off, she had sketched up the perfect tattoo. She was really sweet and the overall vibe of the place was comfortable. Everything was super clean! Meaghan obviously takes great pride in her work. The shading was very realistic. The tattoo is also healing beautifully. I would definitely see her again and would recommend her or any other artist at Private Tattoo!

I got a small tattoo on my left arm and I specifically asked that the lines be as thin as possible. The stencil looked great, and the artist started tattooing me. I looked at the finished product and my heart sank a little! The lines were extremely bold. Not the end of the world, but disappointing. I also found it a bit weird that they wrapped it up with saran wrap and kept it in place with duct tape. Evidently, they need to up their game a bit. Most shops use legit pre-packaged bandages. Much more sanitary. Overall, I wouldn't go back. It's nice to see that other people had good experiences though!
