DO NOT COME HERE. This place should be shut down…read more I had to temporarily replace my tragus earring with an acrylic spacer for an MRI test (got this done at Adrenaline Tattoo's on Queen Street - amazing place). Decided to get my original earring put back in at 'Depression Ink' since it was a lot closer to home, and since it was a low risk procedure didn't think it would make a huge difference where I went (simply putting in an earring - note: I could not do it on my own since it is small and I cannot see the inside of my ear to screw it in.) I called beforehand and the owner said that it would be no problem. I went in, showed him the original earring, and his apprentice proceeded to take out the spacer (I was fine with this - again, low-risk procedure). Then when it was time to put the earring in the owner said he could not, it was too small - even though it was the earring I have had in my tragus for over ten years. Even though he told me on the phone no problem. Even though he saw the earring when I came into the shop - before starting anything - and said again, no problem. Irritated at this point, I said to put the spacer back in and I would go elsewhere. He said he could not (???). He would need to put a brand new earring in (one with a longer bar so that he could grasp it with his hands and screw it in)...andddd I would have to buy it from him (scammer). I agreed so that I could just get this over with and get out of there, lay down for him to put in the new earring, and suddenly felt horrible pain. I screamed out and asked what he was doing?! HE WAS STICKING A NEEDLE THROUGH MY EAR. Without ANY CONSENT on my part, he attempted to RE-PIERCE my tragus (the hole was already there and perfectly fine - I had it pierced 15 years ago!) to put the earring in (wtf).. He did this 1) Without asking or telling me first and without any consent on my part, 2) Without any proper sterilization techniques 3) Without showing me where that needle came from (I have no clue if it came from a sealed package or not). Disgusting. Why in hell would you re-pierce a hole that already exists and that was perfectly healed???! At the end of it all he was able to put the new earring in by hand and just screwed it closed - like he should have done in the first place. And three days later I am left with a horrible infection in my ear that has required medical attention, and a lost piercing hole that was healthily healed for over 15 years. This man should not own a business not should his establishment be shut down. DO NOT COME HERE. Save yourself from a completely unprepared, unknowledgeable shop owner who has no concern for health and safety - something CRUCIAL in the tattoo and piercing business. I went to simply change an earring. I left with a serious infection. Unbelievable.

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!

I went around 6:30pm, the wait was around an hour, with a long lineup, so go early! The studio is located upstairs, there is seating in the waiting area. You can fill out a form then return later to get your piercing if you like. The actual piercing experience was great, the piercer was very nice, and professional even at the end of the day. It was one of the most painless piercings I've had, with sanitary processes. (I've had a ton of piercings and let me tell you this piercer was truly skilled and amazing). Prices after tax and tip around $32, they accept cash and card. If you leave a review you can choose some free jewelry.

I came in to get a second lobe piercing and spent forever picking jewellery. The piercing is free, you just have to pay for the jewellery which can range between 30-100 bucks and they have different options from surgical steel to gold plated. Sherise marked my ear and I stared at it for what felt like an eternity then she marked it again to ensure I was satisfied, she didn't pierce until I was 100% certain. She was really patient through this whole process which I really appreciated. She made me feel super comfortable & I barely felt the needle go in. It's been about a week and my piercing is healing really well! *The one earring I wanted was sold out, so I had to go for a pricier one, but either than that, totally satisfied.

She was so kind from start to finish and reassured me that I would have the most comfortable experience. She was informative and honest which is something everyone should look for in a piercer, you can tell that she loves what she does which put me at ease. She urged me to reach out to her via Instagram if I have any questions/run into any issues. Would definitely recommend sink or swim for all of your piercing needs.

Upon entering in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and smile (with the eyes of course) The receptionist escorted me to the waiting area and asked me to have a seat and relax as the esthetician was just finishing up with the previous client. The place was really clean and classy. Very comfortable seating! When the esthetician came, she introduced herself and asked for a couple more minutes to sanitize the area before bringing me up. I felt very informed and appreciated that they were taking into consideration of my time. The room was located upstairs which was kinda cool, but I felt it could have been a bit better. Looked dated but other than that, Stephanie was great! She was super friendly and made you feel comfortable. Really wanted to hear your opinion on the work she had done. Very quick and gentle. Very impressed! Came home and my husband confirmed the brows looked the symmetrical! Well done!

I booked a waxing appointment at this place on 10/25/19 because of all the Google reviews I read…read more(shouldve checked yelp too). The receptionist was friendly. However, I left the place traumatized. I booked a Brazilian. I dont go waxing often only doing it for vacation so it wasn't the first time in my life having waxing appointment. I personally feel the aesthetician isn't sensitive about the customer's(my) need at all. A few things I found uncomfortable. I've never experienced anything like this with other aesthetician. 1.She didn't start my treatment with any communication and didn't confirm what type of Brazilian I wanted. She asked me when was my last time going to a waxing appointment. I told her my last vacation. She told me right away you will be hurting so much because I don't do it regularly. Well, yeah, I know it will hurt.but to start out a treatment with statement like this isn't helping your customer. 2. She asked me to take off my pants. I thought the standard is the aesthetician would give the client a towel and would leave the room and then come back shortly. At least this was what I experienced with other aestheticians before. She just stood there staring at me taking my pants off. This was so strange , she just stood there staring at me. While I was doing so, she made a few rude comments directely to me. Maybe she was older and from a different culture but I felt very uncomfortable. I understand she would see everything eventually but staring at customer taking off her pants in a nice spa? I just never expected this. 3. The aestheticians I experienced before were all sweet and caring. They made sure I felt comfortable especially when it hurt. When I told the aesthetician at this place i was in pain and give me a few seconds for the pain to go away, she started to say " its not my fault , do you know how many times I've done this." "Have you had babies?" If I know how to do it by myself, I would've done it by myself. 2nd, no other aestheticians ever said that to me and made me feel awful that I feel the pain. 3rd, I wasn't there to interview you for the job so I don't care how many times you've done this, especially when I was in pain. What a customer need was some comfort talk and empathy at that moment. I was so traumatized that I actually got up half way and told her to stop the entire treatment. I've never done something like that before. Unfortunately, my experience at this place ended miserably. It seemed like a nice place and I still ended up paying for everything, I didn't just walk out. I would caution anyone who wants a place where you feel welcome and comfortable for waxing. This is NOT the place for you. Wish I could give it zero stars. Even though I paid, I got zero apologies, no comments about how they were sorry I left in the middle of the treatment etc... They could care less. After a week, they replied on my Google review, calling me preposterous and even said I was a racist. The owner's reply showed me clearly where the insensitivity for customer coming from. They even revealed my personal private details of my body on google review. No apologies or phone call directly from the management. Save yourself trouble. Beware of this place. There are many good spas in Aurora.
