We had a great experience this past weekend, taking our 14 year old for a septum piercing. The…read morebooking process over the phone was simple and efficient. The person I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. The shop is really clean and very welcoming. Everyone we encountered seemed to genuinely be happy to be working there. We filled out some paperwork and then waited for our turn! I didn't go into the room with her, but my partner did and he said that Michelle was really great. She took the time to make sure the teen was comfortable and understood what was going to happen - she also went over aftercare thoroughly and made sure we were set up for success. The jewelry was all good quality, and the prices were quite reasonable. The septum piercing, jewelry and aftercare solution came in under $150.00. I will absolutely head to Red Loon for future piercings!

Okay if you are looking for a nice, clean place to get any body piercings or tattoos done then the…read moreEye of the Lotus is the place to go. I was there once before with a friend who wanted to get his eyebrow pierced and they took really good care of him. I decided to get a couple of body piercings and it was pretty close to closing but they were nice enough to take me in. I got two piercings, since it was get one and get the second one half off. The guy did a great job making me feel relaxed and not scared about getting poked. He placed some markers and if I didn't like the position of where the piercing would go he remarked me. The whole process wasn't too long and while I was getting pocked he kept asking me if I was doing okay. He kept reassuring me I was going really well for never getting a part of my body pierced, except my ears. I felt super strong and brave! The guy was pretty nice and very friendly. That was the reason why I decided to go to The Eye of the Lotus in the first place. When my friend got his eyebrow done the guy who was doing his piercings was just so nice and funny; he totally took my friend's mind off of what was going on. They informed my friend and me (when I got my piercings done) how to clean our piercings. Like I said the joint was really clean and the staff was really nice and very professional. They made sure they did things the right way and they way you wanted.

I really loved getting pierced by him, I was a bit nervous about this one and he calmed my nerves and really made it an easy experience! He was also very quick with the piercing and me and my friend were both surprised when the jewelry was in my face so quickly. I will definitely come back to see Troy again if I get another piercing. Highly recommend!

She has been asking for earrings for a few months now and I had seen many posts on mom groups where this salon had been mentioned as THE place to go for kids, so I decided to go for it. I always knew I wanted my girls to have their ears done by a professional, NOT at a store with a gun. The whole experience was so relaxed and gentle in comparison to my own experience when I was 4 (with a gun) or the horror stories I'd heard from my sisters when they had their kids done at Claire's. My girl did great, no tears thanks to the numbing cream, and none of the trauma that accompanies piercing with a gun! 10/10 experience and when my other 3yo daughter wants hers done we will definitely be coming back!

Got a tattoo here from Miranda. Could not be happier with the result!! I had an idea in my head and…read morehad looked at her portfolio of work, but the piece she turned out was even better than I had imagined. She accommodated all of my adjustments and requests and it turned out perfectly. My only critique would be that there was a bit of a lack of professionalism in the planning and booking process and she was late the day of the tattoo appointment. But life happens and Miranda does EXCELLENT work, I would go back to her in a heartbeat.

I'm so happy with the work he has done. He was friendly, funny and easy to talk to, which made the experience that much better. I went in with a group of 5 and we all got tattoos, and they were very accommodating for us. The set up was nice, clean and the place looks really cool inside, with lots of cool artwork and good music. And a bonus is that he uses cruelty-free (vegan) ink/materials, which I absolutely love. I highly recommend Champion Tattoo to anyone looking for a great place in Edmonton, and I will be back as soon as I can figure out what to get for my next tatt! :) Thanks again, guys!

It's so great to have an artist that's creative, professional, and been in the industry for a decade as an owner and is still relevant! Also- even though we both chose a tender spot to have work done on- we were able to sit for the duration needed to complete the tattoo ( which is a sign of someone who knows what he's doing with a tattoo gun!) Don't let his cartoon-like portfolio fool u either- he has a huge creative range on what he can make happen !

They answered any and all questions I had and wanted to make sure that the idea I had for a tattoo was what I wanted to stick with for sure. They drew me a picture and sent me home to make sure that's what I wanted exactly and they saved me a spot in their books. I came back the next week and again they were very welcoming. They made sure I was super comfy in the chair and they had books to look at and when I needed a break it was no problem. I can honestly say I have never had a better experience even since then. Now it is the only place I want to go to get my work done and I feel that i have made new friends at the same time.
