WATERLOO CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Our clients' experiences reflect our commitment to excellence in tattooing and piercing services.

"I walked in to get my septum pierced this afternoon, and Shantal was absolutely incredible! I have had a lot of piercings over the past 20 years (nose, lip, labret, navel, surface, and even a previous septum piercing that had healed closed) and this was by far my most positive piercing experience ever. Shantal had an amazing "bedside manner" and she made absolutely sure that I left her chair a happy camper. I can't recommend her enough!"

Danielle S.

"I can't recommend this place enough, prices and talent are unmatched. I've gotten four pieces from Jake and he is truly the best. His artistry is unreal, he is super cool to talk to, very open to client input, & is clearly so passionate about tattooing."

Jenna P.

"Had an appointment this past week to get my ears pierced with Shantal and she was very nice and thorough. Took her time with my friend and I, explained everything and was super sweet as she walked me through my first needle piercing. 10/10 would recommend getting your piercings here."
