Gads, that was easy! My piercings had grown in (and weren't done all that well in the first place). The price was right, the procedure was efficient, well explained and guided, and about as near painless as you could expect. It's awesome to see so many women in the biz. read more

Super reasonable, conveniently located, professional staff. Skylar was very personable, gave my girl easy to follow care instructions, and the piercing process itself was very fast! She even provided her IG and other contact info if any other equations arose. If we lived here we'd be back! Thanks New Tribe and Skyler for a great experience! read more

My best friend and I decided on a whim to get our noses pierced. We called ahead to ask if there was availability, however they only have an automated message that answers a lot of questions. No problem, we didn't mind poppin in and seeing if there was space for us. And there was! I was super nervous but the gentleman at the front desk was so kind, and Fae was amazing. Fae was really friendly, made us so relaxed, and made this experience so fun. Every step was explained, the process was quick (and not as painful as I thought), and our nose piercings look great! As we were leaving, my bestie and I both said this place was going to be our new go-to. Loved this experience! read more

My good friend recommended this place as she had an amazing experience getting her tattoos here. So I worked up the balls to finally get my first tattoo around 2 weeks ago. My experience at New Tribe was fantastic, everyone was super friendly.I got tattooed by Robbie and she gave me exactly want I wanted. I was super nervous and she was very comforting and made my first tattoo experience a lot more pleasant. I'm super impressed by her work and I can not stop staring at my tattoo!! I love it ! I will be definitely back here for my next one! read more

Sorry about the super long review haha, I think this will be helpful! I came into this specific shop from North York because of a recommendation. I came in and was prepared for a septum piercing. Daryl came and called me back, he began by easing my nerves, making me feel comfortable, and being very friendly. When he was looking at my nose, he advised me I had a deviated septum so it'll be crooked, after being unable to decide yes or no, he advised me based on the time it took me to decide I probably shouldn't do it because he could tell it'll bother me (Which is true). I thought I'd be going home with no new piercings, I was super let down and disappointed. However, he then asked what else I'd like done (which didn't occur to me haha). After looking at myself for a while, and asking for an idea, he suggested a conch or a middle helix. After thinking and not being able to decide he advised a conch will be badass and showed me the jewelry which made me say hell yeah let's do it! I didn't have anybody with me, but when it was time to pierce he made sure I liked the location etc. he then reassured me it's not bad, which was comforting! It was then pierced and it hurt like hell lol. But he cleaned me up and made sure I was good, told me some after care tips and sent me on my way. Overall, the staff are professional and friendly, I ended up with a random sweet new piercing! (Also something that I've always admired and wish I'd get, but was to chicken) Thank you for everything, and helping me! Definitely will come back for more :D read more

This review is for piercings only! And it may be long...you have been warned! ;P I was here about a year ago to get a helix piercing for the first time ever and from what I remember, service was great! When I first walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and friendly, knowledgeable people. They did not scare me off with my already-pent-up anxiety (despite the fact that IIII decided to get this piercing buuut I'm a weak sauce for dealing with certain kinds of pain haha). I had a friend accompany me though to provide mental support LOL! Anyway they were very chill and non-chalant about it, as they should be, which somewhat helped ease my anxiousness. Anyway one hole, couldnt't be too bad. Prior to the piercing, I was well-informed about the process (sterile needles used, quick and painless, etc.) and options (drawed on dots) of where I could have the helix piercing. All i remember instructions-wise was "Big breath in and hold it." *hard pinch* (i.e. needle piercing through) "And breathe out." I SURVIVED! Not bad at all and quite quick! Painless? Weeellll just that pinch but nothing I couldn't handle! No lies here! Awesome! Afterwards, I was told how to take care of my piercing and was given a card with instructions. Shayne had helped me for this piercing and I had a great experience and love my helix piercing :) A few weeks ago, I went back for a second time to get an industrial piercing. Same service was given - love the consistency! More anxiety going in...but in my defence, this piercing was bigger or well, there's a barbell involved and as my friend put it, I'm impaling myself again LOL! Two holes this time! I can do it right?? Aaaaanyways same process but just a different piercer. Still just as friendly and funny actually for that matter. My palms were sweaty and I was starting to heat up right before the piercing started and I told him I was nervous and he said "Don't worry I'll be fast. I'll just need you to put both your hands underneath your bum so you don't smack me during the process as a reflexive reaction." LOL! But that kinda shocked me in a sense where I thought, has it happened? And if it has, was it that bad to slap someone? And wouldn't it hurt even more to be moving during a piercing?? Cuz let's be honest, if you are reacting to the pain, most likely you will move your head too while smacking the person hahaha! Anyways, I was at the point of no return (so I thought) with all these thoughts running through my head but I was just like, suck it up and let's go! So I did, and again the same instructions of breathing in, holding it, *hard pinch*, breathe out, breath in and hold, *hard pinch* and breathe out. "We still friends?" "Yes..." Haha way to go, Daryl, keeping the whole process humorous! Haha I love my industrial piercing as much as my helix! I'm still taking care of my industrial piercing now but it is healing quite well! My helix piercing looks to be fully healed and I can sleep on it comfortably. The shop is clean, neat and shows a lot of tattoo designs too. Spacious open waiting area with comfortable seats too! If I had to recommend a place to get piercings, I would definitely say this place as I was referred here by another friend who got her piercings here too! MAYBE next time...I'll be back for a tattoo! ;P read more

My review on google got deleted mysteriously so I thought I'd post the truth on here. This tattoo shop is clearly deleting bad reviews. I want to start off by saying that I had a great tattoo artist, Leah. She is kind, professional and did a great touch up. I only gave this one star because of this incredibly rude Admin. I asked about the aftercare because I got the second skin and it says on their website to leave on for 1-4 days, and I asked if it is better to keep on longer if possible (I should mention that I am unfamiliar with with second skin). I was just sent a link to their website, which is what I had a question about. I also was told something different about how often to wash/moisturize than what was stated on their website, so I wanted to double check. This is the response I got: Oh jeez...what isn't clear?? I have discussed with Leah to stick with our proven and consistent aftercare which is clearly laid out in that link. What else did you need to know? Please follow that and your tattoo will heal up great. Thanks Please treat to your customers better than the way you treated me. I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

Came here with a sibling for a matching tattoo - we booked our appointments online through their website and it was GREAT because neither of us live in Toronto and couldn't really "come in for a consultation". We booked about 2-3 weeks in advance and I think we were lucky to get the appointment. Their online system sent us a few confirmation e-mails which I found was very well-organized. The place is clean and bright, with lots of personality. Our tattoo artist, Aaron, was great. He was easy going, approachable, cracked jokes and laughed at ours (super nice of him), most of all was patient with us as we fussed over one small aspect of the design. Also, he didn't pressure us to buy anything extra, and he sanitized everything, even the bed although we were siblings and it was a small tattoo. It's been a few days and the tattoo is healing just fine. read more

I've gone to New Tribe for all but one of my tattoos and I couldn't be happier - Binx gave me an amazing experience on Sunday and my new tattoo looks simply amazing!! read more

Never had a piercing before and decided to get one. Walked in and the service was incredibly quick- pleasant and super friendly staff and chill environment. The piercings were for both earlobes ( $80, taxes included, super reasonable price ) and the piercings went through quickly and without pain. They offered a saline solution for after care for $20, which is a totally OK and reasonable price. Considering that this is one of the highest rated in Toronto area , you can definitely understand why it is that way the second you walk in the door. Great experience and I look to bring friends in when they're interested in piercings. read more

Sarah did awesome work! absolutely love my tattoo

Got my nose pierced and it was a great experience as always!! Sky was very sweet and informative, the job was done quickly and smoothly. Really appreciate the friendly and clean environment ! will definitely be returning read more

I went in as a walk-in on a Sunday and everyone inside was so kind and accommodating. They were able to immediately book me in and gave me many design options for the tattoo I was looking to get (coordinates) including font and size. My artist Rat was welcoming, nice, and very easy to talk to. They made sure my tattoo was placed exactly right and even noticed a slight flaw I couldn't see, making sure it was perfect before they started tattooing. The tattoo process went by quick and easy, and the whole interaction with everyone at New Tribe Tattoo was welcoming, professional, and fun! Couldn't recommend more! read more

I've been here multiple times before and didn't have any issues and the service was good. However my recent visit the piercer told me I was unable to get multiple piercing options because of a list of illogical reasons. I have 11 piercings and never had issues with any of the reasons they gave me, such as healing process. My friend encountered the same attitudes as well. I think they just wanted to go home/on their break. Overall really disappointed as I wouldn't have made the effort going here if I was going to be rejected of all piercing options in the first place. read more

I went to New Tribe for my first lobe piercings. No issues with the appointment itself, but when I tried to remove them months later, it turned out that they had been screwed on too tight and wouldn't budge. New Tribe wouldn't remove them without a $10 fee. I ended up getting them out somewhere else, and the fellow who removed them needed to use tools to get the job done. I'm disappointed that New Tribe would attach the piercings too tightly to be removed by myself, and then refuse to take them out without charging a fee. I won't go back for my next piercing. read more

I had my septum pierced by Stacy, she also changed my nose ring. She changed my nose ring with such ease I could barely feel it going in. She was super professional, made sure everything was clean and done to standard. I would go back to New Tribe for a piercing anytime! read more

the only place i will trust to get my ink done service is outstanding and the prices are excellent free touch ups within three months read more

I have been going to New Tribe for peircings forever. Granted, it's generally years and years between visits, I still always return. I've had 5 ear piercings since 1999 and they've all healed very well. I've only gone once to another place, it was in AZ and it rejected.... so they get my vote for piercing. I was in yesterday for a small tatoo. Mike was awesome! Yes, I did have to walk around downtown for about an hour to get a spot but I feel with a walk in that can sometimes be expected. I have always said I feel its a super stellar clean spot... you can smell it. Anyway, I'll be back for sure so long as they keep up the awesome work! read more

Sky is so stellar! I've seen a few piercers at New Tribe and always am made to feel cared for and comfortable regardless of who is stabbing me, but my most recent experiences have been with Sky and they are always above and beyond! I love that they take the time to explain every step, every sensation, and will not do anything without your explicit consent. It's makes a painful process very smooth and relaxing! The whole shop is clean, the work is of great quality, and everyone is kind. If I could write a review for everyone I would :) Thank you always! read more

Got my first tattoo ever at New Tribe and had an amazing experience. Conrad was professional, personable, fast, and the tattoo is amazing quality. Other employees at the shop also helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. Definitely not the last tattoo I get at New Tribe. read more

Got a helix piercing ($50) here today. The place is very clean and everyone had a chill vibe which made me feel comfortable. I was quite nervous as I had never gotten a cartilage piercing before but Sandy was very professional and explained everything (including sterilization) to me beforehand. The piercing itself took less than a minute and I only felt pain for about 2 seconds. Highly recommend for piercings! read more

As a first timer to getting a tattoo, I was incredibly nervous to finally do the deed. I am so, so, glad that I took several friends advice and came to New Tribe. Everyone I spoke with there were friendly and professional. The parlour is very clean, there's a heavy emphasis on sanitation, and there's plenty of space. My tattoo artist was Brian. I cannot say enough good things about him! He was very kind and reassuring for a nervous newbie like myself. I absolutely love my new tattoo! Thank you so much New Tribe! read more

Had my first experience with New Tribe last week and it was beyond positive. Really friendly staff. Clean shop. Music isn't screaming at you. Love that they make the place comfy for you before you settle in for your session. Nate was my artist and he was super personable, talented, knowledgeable, and upfront about pricing, time -- everything. Definitely recommend!! read more

Got a super small, basic tattoo and the artist completely scared my skin. After a year of healing the lines from my tattoo are still raised. Would never get a tattoo from here again. read more

I have two tattoos and both are by Steph at New Tribe. The most recent was this week which was a star trek themed half sleeve that took 2 sessions. This place has good talent, creative artists and keeps delivering incredible results. The shop is clean, all the staff is super friendly and most importantly, i am never disappointed in the artistry and resulti g tattoo. I will keep going back! read more

Super clean spot, super friendly staff, and Leah did an absolutely awesome job on my tattoo. Couldn't ask for more out of an artist, I would definitely recommend her if you're looking to get something done! read more

I hadn't pierced my ears since I was 8 years old. I was a little nervous. Fae was professional, through, accommodating, and sweet. I recommend her and I will probably be back! read more

When having to reschedule on my own fault New tribe was very accommodating and quick with responding. I was booked with RAT who did an amazing job and had great feedback for my questions, plus while getting my tattoo she kept conversatio which is nice. Ive been there for piercings before aswell and I'd give the same positive review again, highly recommended if your looking for good quality and location. read more

I have gotten at least half of my tattoos done at New Tribe, and there's a reason I keep returning again and again. The staff is attentive, patient, and really down to earth. I really appreciate the cleanliness of the shop overall and that the tattoo prices aren't outrageous in any way. I have to give a special shoutout to Jason who has done my last two pieces and absolutely knocked both out of the park. Thank you Jason for being so accommodating! Your artistry is one of a kind, and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended back in this shop by year's end! read more

This review is long overdue. New Tribe is definitely one of the best tattoo/piercing parlors :) I did some browsing around the city before I decided to come here, which I'm very glad I did. The staff are really knowledgeable and take a lot of pride in their work. They are really friendly and definitely care about your safety, which is what you want to look for. I think they also participate in community/charity initiatives - the first time I went they were holding a toy drive for children around Christmas time :) :) :) I was pretty nervous getting my first tattoo (done by Brian), but he answered any questions I had and was pretty patient with me, even though I flinched during. The second time around, I was a lot more prepared to get tattooed (done by Veronica) - I am super happy with both!, they're so beautiful! They go through aftercare with you and follow-up with how you're doing a few days after. I also got a septum piercing here (by Shayne), he was really cool and went through the process. It didn't hurt at all and the placement is really nice :). All the tools are sterilized/one time use from what I saw, they have separate rooms aside from the waiting area for clients to get pierced/tattooed. They have a lot of knowledge, so if you're unsure of anything they recommend the best way to go. I'm very thankful I came here. Check them out - Definitely a great place, good atmosphere, cleanly and have amazing staff. Also the booking is really simple and user friendly! read more

I got my septum pierced here on Monday. Great experience felt very safe physically and emotionally. my piercer was Fae and they were very nice. I'm an anxious person so naturally I was genuinely shaking but they reassured me and said that Septum were super chill piercings. (they are it didn't hurt at all.) Fae explained how to take care of my piercing and how to flip it up. I was in and out. Overall a great experience 10/10 would do again. read more

I need to give a shout out to Nate for his work on a tattoo that he did on September 19, 2020. It was a memorial for my mom, and it was an amazing experience that I had with him. His direction with the photo references I gave him, the size, and placement was awesome, and I want to thank you for your guidance and artistic creativity. Thank you for such a beautiful tattoo! read more

Friendly staff, took my girlfriend to get her first ear piercing. Shayne was very courteous and friendly. Our piercing was done by hand, it was very quick and painless. Pleased with the pierce, she had a little infection afterward but that was easily treated with some salt water washes and treatments. read more

Stacy is awesome!!!! She pierced my septum, nostril, and inserted a microdermal into my cheek. So friendly and kind and professional; I'll go to her for all my piercing needs from now on. She took the time to make sure she marked the positions correctly before performing each piercing and was accommodating to all my wants and needs. Stacy you rock! read more

I had an earring stuck for years on my cartilage after the plastic backing hardened over time. Fae is incredible. It was a super quick and painless experience for me. It's obvious Fae has tons of experience dealing with piercings. To top it of, she is so friendly! I definitely recommend Fae and New Tribe. read more

The best shop to get a tattoo! It's my go-to place. Not only are the staff talented, but they're all so kind. I've been tatted by Aaron, Conrad and most recently some snakes by Veronica (soooooo happy with them), and I'm continuously amazed by their work. The front desk actually cares about your inquiries and even the dude who sold me a piece of jewelry was so nice and informative. Thank you all! See ya next time :D read more

If you ever in Toronto and plan to get a tattoo, you have to make your way to New Tribe tattoo. They friendly, helpful and have talented artists that can help you with your ideas and their prices far better than any tattoo parlors in the area. Had my first tattoo will for sure get more in the near future. Mark is talented and does amazing work. read more

Aw Dave as you were nice enough to reply ill clarify a few things from my initial reply so people don't think im saying your piercing service is bad (it's not). 1) didnt mean to imply Stacy was unqualified of a poor piercer. I've seen some of her other work online and she does good stuff. 2) I agree everyone reacts differently to piercings. Didn't mean to also imply she was the reason thay caused me to almost pass out. I only wish I'd been warned before hand, especially since I did say it was my first time, that fainting and light headedness was a possibility. Then I would have felt a little bit more prepared and not left as quickly as I did. Maybe a note for future customers ? Just a small detail that could make a difference. :) 3) I dont disagree your starter stuff is top notch quality. Not had issues with quality. If you had option for a coloured end on a starter barbell wouldn't have minded paying extra. But that's my personal preference. I mean for the price you pay for your piercings its definitely not bad at all. Maybe I will go back again at some point for a second attempt just cause I appreciate you caring about your customers. Perhaps when i go in for my next inked piece... read more

Great knowledgeable team. Lot of great artists working in this shop. High volume area, and they take their work seriously. Great place for a first tattoo or for a last minute decision "I'm on vacation, damnit" inking. Dave has been working on my sleeve through the pandemic, and its been a great experience despite all the difficulties will the lockdowns. read more

Super friendly staff. My pain tolerance is barley existent but the staff was very patient with me. Would definitely be going there to get more piercings! read more
