About a month ago I had a tattoo done by Ana Bella at Way Cool Tattoos and i could not be happier…read more The tattoo turned out great and it was really clean and sterile in the shop. Also it was my first tattoo and she went over everything with me from sterilization of all the equipment and how to best take care of my tattoo and she made me feel really comfortable. She is an excellent artist and i had a peek at some other tattoos being done that day and they all looked great. I will be booking my next tattoo appt. at Way Cook in Kitchener again!

The Faith & Glory Collective are a small group of tattoo artists that banded together to form their…read moreown shop after years and years of working for larger, well known companies. The idea, as it was explained to me is simple, "Do what you love." The shop is in downtown Kitchener just above a 20/20 Optical which sounds like an odd place but the space is perfect. There isn't a lot of walk in traffic but you can always show up without an appointment and if they're busy they'll book you in right there. Calling ahead is always your best option as these gentlemen can have a waiting list. There are four artists (plus an apprentice) that call this place home and each one has his own style. Just taking a look around the shop is a good indication of how well rounded they are as the walls are covered in sketches and drawings all done by the shop artists. Sometimes they have prints for sale of these pieces. The shop itself is open, well lit and clean as a whistle. Everything is sterilized and packaged properly. Counters and work stations are constantly wiped down, cleaned and cleaned again. There is a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that seems inviting and positive. I think it's just a natural side effect of enjoying your work. There isn't much in the way of parking so you might have to hunt for a spot at a parking lot close by (a block or so away at best, two or three at worst).

I like different artists for their visions and interpretation of why this tattoo needs to be there at this time. There is an artist for everyone there. Its wonderfull to have it all in one spot. I've decided to get a partial sleeve, at a higher age range than typical for a lady these days. My fingers invariably keep landing on their site as a place I know will take great care of me and give me a first class tattoo that will give me pride to look at for the rest of my life. I'll be booking my consultation with someone soon guys! Well done on your success.

The shop was spotless and I was amazed by the Artists strict discipline in maintaining a sanitary environment. Kudos to the intern Xavier who was very helpful in providing me with sound and honest advice. I will be returning in October to have my next child's name inked to my other arm. The shop also does tattoo removal and body piercings too.

Let me start by saying that for a person like me, who didn't have much knowledge of tattoos and…read moreworks in a corporate environment, I was highly skeptical of getting one. Then I meet Xavier - he is very friendly, has a great sense of humour, loves what he does and is an absolute comics fan - everything that I instantly resonated with. He makes the whole experience like a dream. Once you share your ideas with him on what you want, he will help you through the process, answer any questions and give you a very good idea of do'es and don'ts. In the end, he will be more passionate about it than you and will own the piece of art as his own trademark. You don't have to worry about a thing. Its been 3 weeks I got my first tattoo and I can't stop looking at it. Thanks Xav for being such a hoot!!!

I would strongly suggest booking an appointment during the week if you want to be guaranteed to have work done. All of my tattoos turned out great and they were all very inexpensive.

Having received tattoos from both Steve and Char, I can confidently say that if you come to this…read moreshop you will have a great experience. They both do amazing work, and the atmosphere in this shop is very comfortable and inviting. You feel right at home when you walk in. Steve is always willing to hear ideas and give an honest opinion- no "whatever you want, wherever you want it" crap. If he loves your design idea he'll share his enthusiasm to get started. If he thinks it would be better in a different spot or with a different approach, he'll be blunt and tell you how it is. You can trust that his main goal is to be sure you walk away in love with your new ink, and I'm so glad I listened to him about the placement of my first tattoo! As for specialty- look at his portfolio! He does amazing detail and line work and his coloring is spectacular. Going back in a few months (he books fast!) to get another and I can't wait to see what he comes up with. This is the only place I recommend for tattoos to everyone who asks!
