The Faith & Glory Collective are a small group of tattoo artists that banded together to form their…read moreown shop after years and years of working for larger, well known companies. The idea, as it was explained to me is simple, "Do what you love." The shop is in downtown Kitchener just above a 20/20 Optical which sounds like an odd place but the space is perfect. There isn't a lot of walk in traffic but you can always show up without an appointment and if they're busy they'll book you in right there. Calling ahead is always your best option as these gentlemen can have a waiting list. There are four artists (plus an apprentice) that call this place home and each one has his own style. Just taking a look around the shop is a good indication of how well rounded they are as the walls are covered in sketches and drawings all done by the shop artists. Sometimes they have prints for sale of these pieces. The shop itself is open, well lit and clean as a whistle. Everything is sterilized and packaged properly. Counters and work stations are constantly wiped down, cleaned and cleaned again. There is a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that seems inviting and positive. I think it's just a natural side effect of enjoying your work. There isn't much in the way of parking so you might have to hunt for a spot at a parking lot close by (a block or so away at best, two or three at worst).

I like different artists for their visions and interpretation of why this tattoo needs to be there at this time. There is an artist for everyone there. Its wonderfull to have it all in one spot. I've decided to get a partial sleeve, at a higher age range than typical for a lady these days. My fingers invariably keep landing on their site as a place I know will take great care of me and give me a first class tattoo that will give me pride to look at for the rest of my life. I'll be booking my consultation with someone soon guys! Well done on your success.

I have a giant arm piece that I bought second skin for because I was concerned about infection. Cas has never used and clearly didn't bother to look into it because when the tattoo was finished she said, "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wash the tattoo before we put it on, but you'll only be wearing it for 24hrs." I got a TERRIBLE infection that pushed out a ton of her work. I wasn't upset with her, it was clearly an accidental mistake. I reached out to her to tell her about it and send her pictures. I assumed she'd take responsibility and give me some free hours to make up for this careless mistake. Instead she ghosted me. She won't respond to phone calls or emails. This is literally the craziest tattoo experience I've ever had. Bad service doesn't even began to describe this, do not ever go to this place.

I cared for it properly as I have with my other tattoos from other artists. Its terrible, it looks like a 5 year old did it. The lines vary in thickness everywhere and its not straight or even anywhere. Good thing its free touch ups for 6 months because it definitely needs it. the artist was nice, and the shop is clean. He was very clean which was great but awful tattoo. I wouldnt recommend this place.
