I love this place and the staff so much that I can't find words to explain how amazing they are. I've got 3 pieces by two artist and I've got more planning to do with them all. I also love the display and set up that gives you hours of nerd browsing for your pleasure. Lots of toys, comics and collectables. You'll never regret your visit or the money you spend. There is natural talent and passion in the artist.
My friend and I came here after doing some research looking to get our first tattoos. We both really liked Jodie's style and brought our concepts to her in a consultation after just walking in one day to see if we could set one up. She was extremely open to our ideas, asked questions about what kind of things we liked, and discussed placement. She also gave her input on things she thought could make it even better. We never felt judged or like she wasn't interested in helping us get something cool. The deposit was fair and the actual design she did for each of us really reflected the care and talent she puts into her work. She also showed a lot of integrity when a delay came up in my design and she called to let me know that she didn't want to rush it and asked if we could postpone by a couple of days. The final art for both of us was more than we could have hoped for! The actual sessions were friendly, comfortable, and quick! Jodie has a steady hand and her lines are confident and her shading smooth. A number of people have complimented my large chest piece and how bold and clean the lines are! My friend's piece is readable and beautiful. I can't wait to get the shading finished on my chest piece in May! Overall, a great shop and a top-notch experience! Everyone was friendly, funny, professional, and the shop is kept clean even as they are in the process of moving spaces. I would definitely recommend coming here for any work you're looking to get done.
I had an amazing experience here. Jodi did my sternum tattoo and I couldn't have had a better experience. I would highly recommend the friendly, helpful, and talented staff at Jaded.
Great place. Quality ink, quality toys, quality comics and quality people.
I was here to look at their excellent selection of collectables. The staff here is amazing and very helpful
Mary is a pleasure to speak to and produces great results. Always happy to visit her with my next idea.
I can't say enough great things about Chris and the entire staff at Shades of Grey. They are all very friendly and welcoming. The shop has a great relaxed vibe. I contacted Chris with a rough concept of what I was thinking of and he instantly dove into it. We talked a bit about what I was thinking of and he turned my scattered ideas into an amazing custom piece. He really developed it a lot further than I could have imagined. Chris is an exceptional artist; his work is clean and beautiful. Chris was extremely professional and kind throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all my questions and make me feel comfortable. It's easy to see he takes great pride in his craft.
Good customer service, best prices. But when i went there they couldnt do my tattoo. I went to another place 2 blocks down and did it on the spot.
I absolutely love coming here. I'm here quite often and the atmosphere and the artists are amazing.
One of my Favorite tattoo shops in the city and i been to too many lol. The artists are very respectful and attentive, very friendly vibe . If it was wheelchair accessible that be gold
1 of a kind shop. Great work, great artists, friendly staff, and a ton of nerd culture that makes you say "Hey, I had one of these before".
The man who works the comic section is super helpful and cool!!!! and the tattoo parlour has a way friendlier atmosphere than most. Will get all my comics here :)
Great shop
Didn't get what I asked for. I felt like the guy wasn't exactly sure what I wanted and instead of asking for clarification he did what he thought would work best. Now after seeing the finished product I'm not thrilled.
I have had nothing but good experiences here. Love the knick knacks and collectibles
Favourite tattoo shop in Edmonton. Chris did an amazing job on my tattoo's and is always great to talk to when I come in.
Wonderful helpful staff, good location.
Excellent staff. Great artists and super cool toys
I'm a 80's/modern gijoe collector. They have a great selection of the 80's vintage and the prices are damn reasonable. Last time I was there they had a box of parts that helped me with some of my incomplete pieces. Staff were chill and easy to talk to. I'd go more often if I didn't live so far out of town.
Amazing artists!! I got my first one done at the Edmonton Expo and Chris did an absolutely fantastic job! Will definitely look into these guys again in the future!
Chris was excellent. Great artist and tattooist
Joel did a fantastic job, highly recommend him!
Awesome atmosphere & artists! I went in for a simple script tattoo and booked another session for a back piece. I’m a pretty picky person and Chris was able to instantly identify with what I wanted and the ideas that I had. The 2 tattoos that I got from him were my first ever and meant a lot and he did an amazing job. He made me feel comfortable and made sure I was aware of everything along the way. Would recommend this shop and all their artists.
Mac great work!!
Amazing artists, great atmosphere.
I got my hand tattooed by chris at shades of grey and it was by far the best tattoo expierience i've ever had. He really pays attention to detail and my tattoo turned out super clean. He also acknowledged my opinions and any changes that i wanted to make when it came to drawing it up. I also liked how inviting and friendly everyone was at the shop. The atmosphere is super chill. 10/10 would go again and would highly reccomend it to anyone looking to get some art work done.
Super friendly tattoo artists with insane portfolios! Chris has done most of my tattoos and I love them so much, amazing work that I could not be more happy to see everyday.
Had 2 tattoos done with Joel Provencher and both turned out great! He was very friendly, the parlour was clean and I enjoyed looking around at all the things like comics, action figures, etc. while I waited. The artists were welcoming and friendly as I came in and loved to joke around and spark conversation at the front counter.
Out of all the work I have had done this shop is my favorite! Not a single bad vibe here.
Walked in and saw Christopher McPherson today to get a tattoo that has a ton of meaning for me personally. The tattoo itself turned out better than I can even imagine and Chris as a person was awesome to deal with, very personable and professional. Will recommend anyone who asks me to go see the people at Shades of Grey. Chris if your reading this, this tattoo is amazing and I truly thank you for an incredible job. His Instagram is @boxcar_ronin if you are looking for his work.
Awesome shop! Great toys, even better artists
Nothing but disgusted! "Addox" doesn't have the decency to cancel our appointment face to face she has her boyfriend come down to do it...after numerous messages between us both regarding the tattoo and her knowing full well the situation and reason for the tat. Leaving my child who's fighting for her life with cancer (reason for the tattoo) to come down and discuss and get what route we we're going to take. No respect, no morals, no decency..amazed shades of grey would even hire an individual like this! If your not into doing a tat for a client have the decency to say so in the first place!
Super cool tattoo shop/ collectibles gallery. All the artists are amazing, I've been getting tattooed here since 2011. Work is always great, cool vibe and atmosphere.
The crew here are fantastic. I got my tattoo while shades of grey were traveling to comic expos and needed a touch up. Chris does wonderful work and works with you to help get the piece you want. I would definitely recommend this shop for anyone looking for some ink. The shop has a very good selection on comics old and new as well as some great collectors toys.
I've had two tattoos done by Chris in the last month. One was script and the other was a cover up. Both turned out excellent and I've received many compliments. Chris is professional and highly skilled at his craft. The shop itself is very clean and there's a great vibe about it. I would highly highly recommend both Chris and Shades of Grey!
Christopher did lovely work on my new sternum tattoo. Everyone at the shop was professional and courteous. Hourly rates were more than reasonable. I should note that vegan inks are available, for those who want them. Consultations that I had with Chris were very productive. My ideas were taken seriously, and built upon based on experience and expertise. I’m immensely appreciative of his professionalism, especially considering placement of the tattoo. The tattoo studio space itself is clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough that you don’t feel overly crowded when other clients are in the studio at the same time. What I liked most about getting work done here is that it didn’t feel at all pretentious, unlike some other studios that I’ve visited. Would recommend to others!
Has my tattoo finished by Christopher today. Fantastic work. Will be recommending to everyone I know.
Professional through and through. Would definitely recommend.
Just got my touch up done by Corinna at shades of grey and it couldn't have been more pleasant experience this time! The shop is clean and I would recommend it to my friends..
Tattoo number 5 from Mr. Christopher. Couldn't be happier with that the amazing work this guy has done.
Good vibes
Shades of Grey is absolutely outstanding! I've recently been getting a leg piece done by Christopher McPherson (IG: @boxcar_ronin) at Shades of Grey, and I've honestly had the best experience. When I first came in to book a consultation Christopher spoke to me immediately. I told him the concept behind the piece I wanted done and we bounced ideas and images back and forth until we had a solid idea and an appointment date booked. Randomly, I bumped into him grabbing a bite to eat the night before the tattoo date, and a minute of conversation put my built up worries to rest. The following day Christopher laid out the stencil, started the gun, and put in some solid hours of work. At our next session Christopher brought some creative ideas forward that seriously improved the design of the tattoo. As he sketched on me with markers for some time, I imagined how the sensation of each line would soon become much more intense, and I felt confident in the image he created when finished. Christopher has put in some solid hours of work since then, always making me feel at home and comfortable while at the shop. Healing takes time, and I'm more than excited to see the finished piece in the weeks to come. I'd definitely recommend Christopher and the other artists at Shades of Grey on Whyte Ave. Sincerely, Mitchell A. Johnsen
CHRIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! I got an extremely painful area tattooed yesterday but it was made tolerable by Chris's goofy dad jokes and general awesomeness. He's such talented tattooer and all around good dude!
Very welcoming staff! As soon as I walked into the place I knew it was the perfect place for mine and my friends tattoo; we got one of the flash tattoos and we both love ours. I will definently be going back for another tattoo here!!
Went for my first tattoo of a small piece walk in, Chris took me in, asked me about what I want and where I want it, then showed me a similar piece he’s done before which looked great. Overall appointment took about 25-30min, price was more than fair and you get exactly what you pay for. Tattoo turned out great before, during and after healing. Very happy with the results and highly recommend.
I had an awesome experience with my artist Mac Plant. He was great to work with, especially for bouncing ideas back and forth. It was my first tattoo, and on top of that I'm super picky, so it was a relief to have back and forth with someone as patient as Mac is. Couldn't be happier with the end result and would ABSOLUTELY recommend Mac for anyone looking at getting a tattoo. I will be going back to Mac for future tattoos... Thanks again Mac!
We were last minute walk in's with no idea what we wanted, which I'm sure was super annoying for them. But they never made us feel like that for a second! Christopher was our tattoo artist and he helped all 3 of us decide what we wanted. He was incredibly patient, funny and very good at what he does. We were the last people in the shop and he made our experience just so great! All 3 of us walked out thrilled with our tattoos and would recomemd him to anyone! Thank you Christopher!!!
Chris is so nice and intelligent.
I have done my consultation there for a tattoo I have booked in the foreseeable future. Parking was great. Very cute shop.
I've had all my tattoos done by Joel and couldn't be happier. Everyone that I have talked to here is also very friendly and it's a great atmosphere overall. Can't wait to get more work done!
Such an amazing place! My friend and I came in as walk ins just wanting to choose a flash drawing and they were awesome! All of them were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the very beginning! Joel did my tattoo and he rocked! Will definitely be coming back for another.
Love it
jose was really nice and he did a really great job :) thank u
I had contacted Shades of Grey, in the Fall of 2020, to inquire about getting a tattoo there. I also indicated the type of tattoo that I was interested in. They were, initially, prompt in getting back to me, were supportive about the process, and stated that they simply needed some sort of reference on the parameters and dimensions (which I then gave to them) for the tattoo, while adding that they would relay this to their artists who, in turn, would get back to me if interested. I waited for a few weeks, but did not receive any further feedback. I figured that they were backed-up with business. Shortly after that, due to an escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the province around the holiday season, tattoo parlours were temporarily closed. So, I understood that this was a reasonable basis for their not reaching out at that time. In any case, tattoo parlours have been allowed to be open again for months now and, nearly a half a year after my initial inquiry, I have yet to hear anything further from Shades of Grey. If they weren’t interested in completing the tattoo (although I don’t know why) then that is their right as an operation. Still, they could have, at the very least, extended the professional courtesy of informing me of this. Fortunately, I was able to book at another establishment without issue.
I've had 4 tattoos done at this shop. They all look bangin'. I'm happy with the outcome. It's clean and friendly too. People I went to were Mary (now in BC) and Christopher (still there)!
