Ive gone back there several times with bleeding ears and even now they ache after months. My first holes were pierced with a gun with no pain afterward, yet when I went here and they pierced my second and third they bled, bruised, swole and are still tender to this day. Today was the first time I really touched them and tried to switch them out and they bled. Literally just go to Claire's and get the gun.

We ended up getting tattoos with Shelly, a wonderful cat-loving, super sweet, and talented artist. She answered all our questions and made us feel very welcome and calm our whole experience. I never felt pressured or not listened to (which is huge when getting a tattoo). She did an amazing job and exceeded our expectations. We got matching pine tree tattoos with a lot of beautiful detailed work put into it. Absolutely recommend her for everyone. I even want to come back to Victoria just to have her do another tattoo for me (I live in California, so that sounds like a fun adventure). Thanks so much Shelly, you're awesome and please keep on making beautiful artwork!

She was very gentle and knew exactly where and when it would suck the MOST. She took the time to listen to me about the tattoo I picked, and revamped the whole thing when I got cold feet about the design. She made some beautiful art on me, and talked to me the whole way through about whatever. I enjoined that part the most and not felt like I was bugging her or distracting her. Her artwork is phenomenal and I think I found a NEW GIRL who will be doing a lot of my work from now on. I loved her to bits and had a wonderful experience. The shop had a great vibe, inviting and not intimidating. Incredibly clean although small, cozy place! I LOVED it

She will listen to what it is that I want and then make suggestions and provide advice. She makes sure I leave happy no matter how long it takes. So professional and easy to talk to as well. I don't usually enjoy long sessions for any kind of cosmetic treatment (hair, nails etc), but I always enjoy seeing Ashley. I also appreciate the clean, professional and quiet location. Highly recommend! Annabelle

Christina had to colour correct and if that wasn't enough she also had to fix "crooked" brows. Now they are magazine worthy! I never thought my eyebrows could look so beautiful again.
