The shop is very clean and sterile. No chance of infection here. I'm currently in the process of getting a sleeve tattooed by Eugene and I couldn't be happier with how it's turning out! I highly recommend this place over any other tattoo or piercing studio in Ottawa. You wont be disappointed! Ps. I am not being paid by them to write this, I'm just surprised they haven't been on yelp yet so I figured I'd put them there!

My wife and I adore Kaiti. She is extremely gentle, quick, and knowledgeable. She tries to make…read morethe experience as painless as possible.

My brother and I both got tattoos a couple of years ago when we were in town for the weekend. We…read moremade an appointment last minute and they were able to fit us in. I would highly suggest making an appointment well beforehand, however, as some artists are booked solid for weeks. My brother needed to get a couple designed and I wanted to get a cover up. We had an idea of what we wanted, but we didn't have an exact picture. Rob was our tattoo artist and he gave my brother a bunch of books to get some ideas. My brother wanted to get two dragons, one on each calf, and chose a picture from one of the books. Rob suggested that he design another dragon based on the original picture, one to compliment the other, facing the other way. The design was fantastic and the tattoo was even better! It was incredibly detailed, shading and all. It only took just under 3 hours for the two, black and white tattoos, including design time. My cover up was also amazing. I had a black and white tiger done with a bit of orange on my right shoulder blade. The size and shading was done perfectly to completely conceal what I had, and Rob made sure I was always relaxed and comfortable the whole time. I'm pretty sure I even fell asleep for a little while during the tattooing! The atmosphere is very casual and has an alternative, skater type of feel. They had metal playing when my brother was getting his tattoos, and the Beatles during mine. Some of the tattoo artists also have their own art and canvases for sale in the shop, so it's great to take a look around. All of the guys are so nice and even if you're lying on a bed with another stranger being tattooed next to you, you still feel like you're just hanging out with some friends. The pricing is very reasonable, but if you ask me, they should be charging a lot more since their artists are incredibly talented and have even won awards for their tattoos.

When looking for a tattooist, this is it, you have found it! You want a place that is clean,…read morefriendly, and has a front end. Here at Sage there is a booking person/front counter that streamlines the process for the shop. It makes it very easy and you know you are dealing with professionals. After looking at all the profiles of the artists, I chose one and was able to get in with a consult pretty quick. The establishment itself is clean, large, and has nice bathrooms. Everything about it is bright, clean, and open. After my consult we both agreed that this was a good fit and that she would be able to create a tattoo I would love. And sure enough it's awesome. I worked with Elle and have done two full days with her. Sitting in the shop was nice as you can see everyone else and what's going on in the shop. I liked the open feel of it and it did distract me during the more painful spots. I highly recommend this tattoo shop.

Vanity is a higher-end piercing studio. It was a real pleasure to visit today to get my nostril…read morere-pierced. The shop is bright and clean, though it does smell like embalming fluid due to it being right next to a funeral home where they do embalmings. Nothing they can do about that... Keri did my piercing and she was so kind and professional. She really knows her stuff...Even though I have had my nostril pierced before, Keri still took the time to talk about aftercare. Keri walked me through everything ahead of time, answered any questions that I had about jewelry options and price. During the procedure Keri was attentive and asked me how I was doing. Of course it hurt, like any piercing does, but her bedside manner was awesome! I will be returning to Vanity in the future, once my piercing heals to have her pierce another nose ring beside the one I just got done today. Vanity also has a large collection of barbells, so I am looking forward to also changing my Industrial piercing with a barbell that is a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

By far the best piercing experience I've ever had. I booked an appointment with them to get my…read moreseptum piercing done. Tine, my piercer, was wonderful, taking the time to answer any questions I had about my septum piercing. You can tell she really loves and cares about what she is doing, and it made me feel comfortable at ease knowing that I was in good hands. I'm so happy with my septum and it seems to be healing well. The next best thing about this place (besides their piercers and jewellery selection) is that they provide or offer follow up check ups to see how you well your piercing is healing. I would 100% recommend booking an appointment with this place, you will not be disappointed!
