We specialize in custom artwork, drawn by our talented artists to fit your unique design needs. Call our shop to book a consultation with the artist of your choice. A consultation appointment is a free service offered by us to the client so they can brainstorm with their artist. This is a chance for the client to give the artist their idea and bring any reference images, and for the artist to figure out what will look good and work with the placement of the piece on the body.

I just LOVE Hunter!! Shoutout to him for being the best at everything he does! I’ve been his regular at Tim Hortons for the last 2 years and I keep going back JUST for him! (And our whole office) lol I’ve been missing him lately so I asked his location if he was still around they said yes and told me he was a piercer here now so I just had to come check it out!! The studio is SO cute, amazing music, amazing vibes, he did 4 different piercings for me a few weeks ago and they’ve been amazing! He was also so helpful with changing out some old piercings I’ve had for years and didn’t know what look I was going for! HIGHLY recommend anybody that’s looking for good vibes and clean professional piercings! I’ll be back!Posted on Aliya Mombourqette2026-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend the apprentice here named Hunter!! He’s SUPER friendly, has a great sense of humour and truly knows what he’s doing! Me and my daughter came in for lobes, and a belly button piercing and they turned out amazing! We will be back!
