Searching for tattoo parlours, I happened upon the Fang and Flower. While browsing their page and…read morereading the positive reviews, I decided to submit my idea for a consultation. A couple of days later, I received a response and was asked when I wanted to get it done. Since I was near Port Credit a few days later, I stopped by on a whim to check out the place. They were playing unfamiliar heavy metal tunes. Added the new music to my playlist ;) I was greeted by a lovely and personable young lady named Vivienne who conferred with me about my tattoo. Given that it's my first tattoo, I had many questions, which she happily answered and even suggested I consult with one of the artists on site. Lance was working on a client upon my entry but chatted with me about what I wanted and suggested a few ideas to keep my design simple and feminine. He recommended Marna as the artist, who met with me briefly and was preparing to tattoo me on the spot, however, I realised since I'm traveling soon, I would not be able to be outside in the sun for two weeks and had to postpone the appointment until my return. From first observations, the parlour was super clean, both the washroom and lounge coupled with their positive Google reviews and friendly demeanour, which compelled me to go ahead and book my tattoo. Today, I went in and got it done. The process was simple and straightforward. To my surprise, it didn't hurt much! The environment and staff were very welcoming and I felt at great ease. Marna is sweet and understanding. She did a great job! Definitely returning!

I was blown away by his artwork and for something so permanent I wanted it to be done right the first time around and let me tell you he definitely did not disappoint. He was amazing, very patient, detailed, and kind. I really loved the shops atmosphere and vibe. Very chill, relaxed, and the artists were very friendly and funny. I would most definitely come back and highly recommend others! Thank you Matthew for this amazing piece, we will definitely see each other again for many more to come!

The artists are willing to change whatever you need and not stuck on having to do it their way like other shops I have come across. The piercing is quick and professional but from the few people I know that have gotten piercing here the piercer is kind of just cold. Doesn't talk or offer advice. She is straight to business and it can be off putting to some. Highly recommend Dave and Alison as they are the two artists I have worked with. Would be a 5/5 if I hadn't heard such negative things about the piercer. I don't have piercings so I'm just going by their experiences.

I was a little torn on how to review my experience at this shop…read more Positives: - very clean and calming atmosphere. Love all the greenery and that the music wasn't blaring at full volume - staff were really pleasant, friendly, and attentive - my artist was very gentle, which makes for a nice sit - supportive of my physical limitations Negatives: - it was clear my artist hadn't looked at my reference photos or the tattoo design until we sat down to do it. Front desk staff seemed primarily responsible for the creative, and I wish the design had been drawn fresh in a similar illustrative style vs. taken directly from the inspo illustration I provided - the color I wanted didn't match the reference photos I provided, so I'll need future touch-ups. When asked, I said the color was fine because it looks fine, just not what I wanted. We had also pushed passed my set time limit and I just wanted to go. I think the positives outweigh the negatives, but the negatives are big enough that I hesitate to go back. I wasn't formally introduced to my artist, nor was I told her name or who I'd be working with in any of our email back and forth before my session. I was just sort of sitting there wondering who I should actually talk to about my design. My tattoo is still fresh, so I can't speak to the healing process, but it seems to be doing well.

I was looking for a simple third piercing in my lobes. Nothing fancy or overly adventurous. My…read morefirst two were done when I was 13 or 14, likely in a mall. It was so long ago, I don't even remember. I'm now in my 50's and I know better than to get piercings done at a mall by someone less than half my age getting paid minimum wage. No judgement. Just saying. I hopped onto Yelp to check the voice of the people and the people have spoken! Exotix it is! I reached out to to the studio and enquired about an appointment with Jessie. Lindsay, the studio manager, responded with prices and Jessie's availability. I sent my deposit and confirmed my appointment! At the moment, certain protocols are in place and I felt completely safe being at the studio and interacting with the people there. Jessie is such a nice person and took the time to explain everything she was doing. She meticulously measured and marked the placement of the piercings until they were perfect (or as perfect as they could be given the existing piercings). Her attention to detail was very much appreciated. Once the placement was sorted, the actual piercing took mere seconds. Aftercare instructions were clearly explained which is likely a good thing because I'm of the generation where it was perfectly acceptable to douse your piercing in rubbing alcohol and continually twist it so it doesn't 'stick'! It's been six weeks since my piercings were done and things are healing nicely. My experience with Exotix was nothing less than outstanding. With everyone in masks, it's hard to say for sure who I encountered there but everyone was extremely professional, pleasant and welcoming. I definitely agree with all the reviews posted and if you're looking to get a piercing done, I absolutely would recommend coming to Exotix. This industry has been extremely hard hit during the pandemic... so go on, get something pierced and show some love!

I had a great first experience. Lindsay responded to my email inquiries promptly and thoroughly,…read moreand the studio was super clean (very surprised by how spotless the bathroom is). Gordon was my piercer, and he made the process very easy - this was my first cartilage piercing so I was nervous, but I felt very reassured here. I got two helix piercings and the pain was no worse than your usual flu shot. He went over the aftercare with me, stressed the importance of being on top of that, and also happily answered any questions I had. A week or so afterward, my ear became extremely swollen and painful and almost engulfed the piercing (at no fault of the piercer by the way, irritation happens). So I went to my doctor and she prescribed antibiotics to treat a potential infection. I also contacted Exotix to see if they had any recommendations and Lindsay recommended that I come in to get my piercing looked at and my jewelry lengthened to accommodate the swelling. So I went in and Gordon was there again, he could tell from his many years of experience that it was not an infection and he swapped one of my bars for a longer one. He was so slick with it that I didn't even notice the bar being changed, especially with how tender my ear was at the time. The only downside to this studio is that it is quite expensive. I paid about $290 total for the service and the two earrings ($50 service per piercing, $80 for each piece of jewelry, +tax) but personally I'd rather pay more for a good piercing than get a crooked one that I hate and end up taking it out after less than a year, which is what happened with my lobe piercing at a different place. I am now due to get my jewelry downsized in 2 days and my ear has healed incredibly well. The jewelry is beautiful and I will definitely be coming back for more piercings!
