I recently got a tattoo here and it was a very pleasant experience! Firstly, I did the booking…read moreonline--filled in their online form and they contacted me after via email to get more specifics for the tattoo I was requesting. From there, they were able to give me a price estimate, match me with a suitable artist, and schedule my appointment. They required an $80 + tax deposit (nonrefundable) which is deducted from the total price of the tattoo. I did have to reschedule my appointment once, which they accommodated. However, their rules/fine print does seem a bit complicated for rescheduling if you need more than two. Upon entering the shop, there was no one at the front desk (I had an 11:00 AM appointment), but another artist working there pointed me towards the waiver. My artist came in and seated me, then we discussed the tattoo I wanted. She was able to make the requested changes to the type (I got a script tattoo) on the spot, and we got to tattooing! I had Athena and she made me feel super comfortable throughout the experience, making sure to check in on me every few minutes. The interior has a great design, is sanitary, and filled with nice artists and staff. I also love that there's such a high quality, reputable tattoo shop in Markham! (And I didn't have to make the trip downtown) I'd love to come back here!

The shop itself is pretty small so there wasn't much privacy. The piercing was done right next to a girl getting a tattoo and shoppers were able to walk by and watch my sister get pierced. You can't really complain because the shops at Pacific Mall are made of glass walls. The procedure itself was pretty standard. She chose her jewellery, got marked and then got pierced. Everything was very clean and sterile, so no complaints! We were then instructed on how to clean the piercing. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and was $60.

GRAPHIC WARNING!!!…read more First things first, would have given them 0 stars if I could. Also writing this review like a month after it happened so it's not just an angry review based on emotions plus I also have 6 other ear piercing done at different places and never had an infection before. So I went to get my piercing done on Nov 24 (Sunday) and it was my first time at Warrior Inks. I went to get my second helix and conch pierced and I was done by the lady. Everything went fine at first. (So I followed the aftercare instruction from the APP website instead of the aftercare given since it said to clean with alcohol but on the APP website it says to not use any alcohol, and I continued this during from the time of piercing and continuing now still.) The first 2 days after were completely fine. No redness, swelling, pain, heat or pus coming from either piercing sites. But the 3rd day after my conch swelled up and was a little warm and slightly red but it didn't really hurt nor was there pus coming from it, so I though it was just delayed swelling from the piercing and didn't think much about it. On the 4th day after, my conch piercing continued to swell up, was even more red, slightly more pain and still only slightly warm, no pus, bit of blood, but the swelling was almost the size of the whole post (the picture attached doesn't show much room left but after cleaning off the blood there was still little bit of room left). On the 5th day after (Friday), my ear was really not looking good. Swelling increased to the whole post, much more red, painful and heat but no blood and still no pus. So I went back to the Warrior Ink thinking they might need to change the post and possibly there's a concern for infection but when I went, during their opening hours and waited like 20-30 mins, the store was closed. So I went to another piercing shop to have it looked at and the piercer said that the post was WAY TO SHORT and that it SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USED FOR THIS CONCH PIERCING and it HAD to come out and he would not be able to put another post in because my ear was so swollen/angry. He eventually had to SNAP IT OFF because he couldn't remove it by unscrewing it and it hurt like HELL, and I have a pretty decently high pain tolerance. I asked the piercer if I should go to the doctor to get it check out because I was worried it could be infected but he said it should have been find since the post was out the pressure should be relieved and it should be fine. Though after cleaning it that night I noticed pus starting to leak out of the site where the conch piercing was removed So the next day (Saturday) I went to the doctor the first thing in the morning and he said it was DEFINITELY infected and gave me antibiotic and antibiotic ointment. (The picture attached is how angry my ear looked even after like a dose or two of antibiotics). On Sunday morning my ear started to look slightly better. Swelling reduced a bit, slightly less red and less pain, about the same amount of heat, no blood but still leaking pus. Though at about evening time I noticed that my ear had swelled up a lot more and it started to really CURL to the point where the top of the ear almost met the lobe! Had to go the the ER to get it check out (which just so happened to be the day it had freezing rain so it was a long drive there). The ER doctor ended up putting me on 2 different antibiotics and 2 painkillers. After a few days of being on antibiotics and painkillers my ear finally started looking almost like how my ear normally looks but the swelling, redness, and heat continued for almost the whole 10 day course of antibiotics. Pus stopped leaking after like 3-4 days on antibiotics. Very lucky that there was no abscess that would require draining. Overall HIGH DO NOT RECOMMEND (at least from a piercing stand-point). Hopefully someone finds this review helpful and would reconsider before coming to this store.
