I had never been to XS before, but I recently went in to check them out and was blown away. They were extremely kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Best service: -I did not wait long at all before I was approached by a staff member. -I was not treated like an idiot (I have no visible tattoos or original piercings), in my experience a lot of shops judge the customer at first glance. XS did not. They were informative, but not condescending. -The staff was honest and not afraid to work with each other to come to the best conclusion or answer to any question I asked. -They were clean/hygienic and committed to my safety and theirs. I was so comfortable, I had my nose pierced on the spot. I was comfortable, had trust and didn't really feel a thing. Nico, who pierced me was exceptional. I worked in retail most of my life and unfortunately, most people only feel the urge to write a review if they are displeased. However, I find it is equally important to write a review when you are very happy or impressed with the service received, because it should encourage the continuous good standard of service one provides. Thank you very much to the XS staff and I look forward to visiting your shop again.

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 recently had my ribs does there by Chris (who is an absolute top bloke). This was the first rib tattoo i have ever gotten but Chris was great, really helped me through it all and would always check up to see if i was doing okay as it can be pretty tender getting inked in that area. 3 hours there felt like 30 minutes, super happy with my tattoo so thanks again Chris you're a legend ! I will definitely be coming back in the future.

I went to the St Anne's location today and had Jesse remove a rubber back that was getting embedded into the skin. I was pretty anxious about it, but he reassured me he could take care of it - and he did, quickly and painlessly! And I'm a big baby when it comes to ear issues, so I was super impressed by his skills! highly recommend!

RACIST ASSAULT AGAINST CLIENT…read more If I could give zero or less stars I would. A couple of days ago I found out that this place had a new apprentice who was doing tattoos for free to advance herself in the field. I went to get one done, the work was decent, athough I had a very aggressive consultation from the head piercer. I was asking questions out of curiosity for pricing on certain piercings and was met with condescending responses rejecting my business. Unfortunately, I had to come back today as two of my friends were going to get the same deal with the new tattoo girl. Once they were finally met by an employee working in the shop, after a very very long wait time, and after getting a copy of my friend Nick's ID they accused him of falsifying the document, and racially profiling him as "mexican" and "black". Nick, clearly was offended by the racial slurs and uncalled for accusations on his identity so took back his stencil he provided that he was going to have tattooed on him saying that the guy acting out of line for Slick Styled Steel was a dumbass, ripped up the stencil and walked out of the shop to meet up with a girlfriend he was there with. Not one but TWO men followed Nick out of the shop and began yelling at him saying "get the fuck out of here now!", Nick turned around and the employee named Alex assaulted him by pushing him into the street. Now, not only is this cause for pressing charges against him for assault, but also, the employee named Alex and the other employee named Jesse were under the impression that Nick was under the age of 18. To me, thats assaulting a minor. This will be going directly to the SPVM as a report of aggravated assault with the intent to harm a minor. This will be the last time any of us will enter this shop for obvious reasons and I would advise any one else to do the same. Thank you for the very extreme altercation that should have never happened in the first place. Racial profiling and assault are never something any business should promote and serious action needs to be taken against all parties involved with Slick Styled Steel.

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.

She is so sweet kind and gentle I sat in the chair for a good 4 hours and didn't feel any discomfort. Once my piece is done I will post pictures. Also love the shop due to they were fully bilingual. Also they charge by piece not by hour. Just love them a sweet find on the south shore.
