I had a wonderful experience at Gwan Soon Lee tattoos. They were extremely accommodating and helped to better form my idea. The environment was so inviting and comfortable. Jina absolutely killed my tattoo and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely go back for more!!
Today will be a day to remember I took my second big step in my self-transformation thanks to Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings Today I made a decision to conquer one of my fears and I got my first tattoo..My tattoo is pretty small, so I'm sure getting a sleeve or a calf tattoo would be a much more painful experience than mine. That said, I still can't believe how manageable my pain was. I was able to carry on a conversation with my friend and the tattoo artist the entire time, and in my opinion, any pain you can talk through isn't all that bad. The staff at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings was incredibly helpful and patient with me. I cannot thank them enough for helping me through this journey, this tattoo has opened up a new chapter for me and has crossed off one thing off my bucket list. THANK YOU..???? ????
Excellent shop, fair pricing, and is run by friendly professionals who are serious about their passion. My girlfriend and I were seeking our first tattoos, and contacted them this past week via Instagram around 3:30 pm. We got a response within a half hour, and they asked us to come in for a consultation at 5:00 pm. Nearly two hours later, we were both finished, and very pleased with their work! Being newbies, we asked many questions, and they also advised us how to properly take care of our tattoos. I have already recommended friends, and am very satisfied with their business, especially with their attention to customer service!
I’ve gotten all three of my tattoos done here and I’m always happy with the result. Jina has amazing work and always does a great job. They always make sure you’re comfortable and that you’re getting what you want.The positive and calm, yet professional atmosphere helps make you feel relaxed and welcomed.
Good service and they were super welcoming, the atmosphere in there is enough to ease your nerves. Love my tattoo!
Great service. Really friendly people running the place. I went in for a custom tattoo and my artist (Jina) did a perfect job. Also it was almost painless
First thing I noticed was The place is very clean with it's own style. The receptionist helped me find parking when I called. I Pierced my tongue and it hurt allot. But Gwan was very calm and so matter of fact about it, I stopped fighting the pain when I picked up on her energy. An experienced Lady who you can trust with your body.
I was very lucky to get my tattoo at Gwan Soon Lee. They are amazing, polite and professional. I will be there for more tattoos.
Just got a nose piercing here and it was a dope experience I’d definitely recommend them!
Very happy with this! They got me in even though I didn't have an appointment and gave me a great tattoo of my favorite show.
my friend and i were in missisauga for the day and decided to get tattoos. we did not have an appointment but called anyway, and within a few hours there was an opening and we got our tattoos. the studio was clean, and jina was very lovely and did a great job on the tattoos, which have both healed wonderfully.
Got my second ear lobe piercing here. The woman who pierced my ear was very nice, respectful and very patient with me as I kept on asking her questions about the healing process and the type of earring I was getting. The staff are very professional and very sweet and will offer you their best services. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know!
Gwan Soon is super knowledgeable and an amazing artist. Very happy with the output. Mahja is a great artist as well.
I visited couple of places but got scared looking at those people. Got to know about this place from one of my friends. Last week I had my first tattoo finally here. Place is so calm and peaceful. Felt a bit costly , but should be ok. Totally love my tattoo!!!
I got a small tattoo done for my birthday and I had a great experience at Gwan Soon Lee. The shop is so nicely decorated and clean. The artist are really friendly and don’t make you feel bad about changing any details. I would highly recommend this tattoo parlour.
She has done a great job for me! I definitely recommend her. I won’t ever search for cheap job Thanks Gwan Soon ????
Very bright, clean establishment and friendly staff. Went in for nose piercings and everything went perfectly. Piercings look great
Amazing place, super friendly staff and very professional. Would highly recommend to anyone getting body art.
I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my tattoo. Clean, efficient, and reasonable. Will definitely use again and will definitely recommend to anyone.
It was my first time coming here, I found them on Instagram and read all the positive reviews. Jina did my tattoo and it turned out exactly how I wanted! Overall a very welcoming and friendly environment. Great communication while scheduling my appointment. Would definitely recommend and I'll be going back for sure.
I loved the vibe of this cute little place. All the staff were super friendly and professional. Stephen is super talented! I will definitely be going back soon.
I got my very first tattoo from here just yesterday and am absolutely obsessed with it! The ladies who work here are so sweet and easy going and helped to make my first experience really fun and easy. When I first came in for my consultation I was able to make my appointment for the very next day and even after, the artist accommodated me and the changes I made very last minute. Really happy with my tattoo and the artists here! Will definitely come again for any new tattoos.
I'm beyond satisfied with my experience at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings. The master artist (Jina) did an incredible job on my first ever tattoo and on a design that means a lot to me. All the artists at this shop were kind, professional, and skilled. You can really tell how passionate they are about their work. If you're planning on getting you're first tattoo and/or subsequent tattoos this is the place to go. I can't praise my experience here highly enough. You won't regret it!
Got my first ever tattoo from Gina 2 years ago and I was very happy with her work. I recently got another piece done by Gina and yet again she designed and created a custom piece for myself. Highly recommend checking out the new location.
As usual they did an amazing job on my tattoo. Made sure I was comfortable during the session and put lots of love and care into my piece. They have not seen the last of me.
I've got my tattoo done today at Gwan Soon Lee, it was my 1st visit with pretty good impression. The tattoo pattern was a pair of angel's wing on my upper ankle (left). I'm super happy with my new tattoo, I loved it so much. Lee has done a good job!! I'm highly recommended to my friends and who is reading this comment.
I got pierced here and I will not be a returning customer. I went in to get my conch pierced and this place had good reviews so I trusted they would do everything correctly. The process of getting the piercing done went very quickly and very smoothly. However, 2 months later I went to a jewelry spot to get my hoop changed out where I was then told I had been pierced with a 20 gauge hoop!!!! That is what is used for nose rings! I was told I’d have to get pierced again with the correct size if I wanted to purchase any normal jewelry for a conch piercing. The worst part is I live in Oshawa so I cant just go back and ask them to re pierce it. Complete waste of my money, I am frustrated and disappointed. Side note: Customer service here was also not great the employees were not personable at all.
Looking at the reviews, I thought this parlor would be an amazing place to get a few piercings before the end of summer. Unfortunately, similar to other piercing reviews on this page, I had one of the worst experiences. I had gone to this parlor to get a double helix piercing, it is worth mentioning that I do suffer from a skin condition and that I require solid materials when getting pierced. I have multiple piercings and I am aware of the after-care process. I specifically asked twice for titanium and before getting pierced I confirmed with the piercer if it was titanium which she had confirmed. When I got pierced I got two "titanium" jewelry with butterfly backend (I also paid extra for "titanium"). I was quite confused since my other helix piercing got a flat backend, I didn't question it at first, but it did alarm me that something was not quite right. A month later, I had gone to another piercing parlor downtown and was told that the jewelry was low-grade surgical steel and that was why it wasn't healing properly, additionally, that the post (extremely short) and backend were incorrect for that type of piercing. He proceeded to show me the earing, and it was completely bent and asymmetrical, which demonstrates how low quality the earing was. I wasn't upset at first since I did not have any infections, but when I contacted the owner that's when I started to get angry about the service. I had gone to the parlor yesterday just to tell her of the whole ordeal and did not even request a refund since it was a service-based purchase. All I wanted was her employees to know that they can't claim that something is titanium and give a client something else especially if they suffer from a skin issue that could have caused a serious issue. (Not to mention, but my skin condition is visible, and I had mentioned it before getting pierced to the piercer, and that's why I had requested titanium.) The owner had completely ignored my issue and directed one of her workers. I had requested my waiver just as a reference as to what I had signed off on since I wanted to ensure that false material was not on it. She (the worker) had taken down my statement and everything but has still not contacted me about the issue at hand. I'd also like to mention that when getting pierced, the piercing had touched multiple pieces of jewelry and had not changed her gloves before piercing at the sight which also gives me red flags about the business. I also believe some of the positive reviews regarding piercings could be fake.
This tattoo studio is bright, clean and well staffed. Jina is a wonderful artist and brought to life just what I had in mind. I will recommend and return here.
I just got my first tattoo here with Jina and she absolutely did a fantastic job. I would recommend to get your tattoos here. Also, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Gwan Soon Lee is amazing as always! I make my way from Stoney Creek just to get tatted by her and her daughter. Her staff is super friendly and very welcoming. Steve ,Clara and Jo couldn't be happier to be around such amazing people. See you in two weeks ????????. Highly recommend GSL!
Staff were friendly and welcoming when I arrived, while the space was clean. Piercings went smoothly and she was happy to answer my questions and provide advice. Would recommend!
I got a piercing done with Jina at this location and it was a gret experience! They were very friendly and welcoming????
Amazing place! Watched a friend get their ink and this place is truly professional and artistic! Not into tattoos myself, but if I was this is the only place I would go :)
Went to get ear piercings with my sister in law here and had a very pleasant experience. Staff are professional and create a very calm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend ????
Went to Gwan Soon Lee for a piercing and the establishment is very clean. Walked in and was greeted by personable staff. Will definitely being going back for more of their services! Would recommend
This place is amazing! The tattoo artist was very polite and very social. The work area was very clean and very homey. I’m so happy with my tattoo and I will definitely be coming back for another. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get anything from simple to complex work done.
Good service and good pricing!
Beautiful layout of the store! The woman who pierced me has a very calm voice so I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. I like how she explained what she was doing step by step and she was also a good conversationalist in general!
I would like to thank Gwan and staff. I had a horrible time at another location that canceled on me 4 times. I came here and they accommodated me right away for a piercing. The very next day I decided I wanted a tattoo. They do amazing work they sketched it and helped me with design right than and there. I found a few tweaks here and there and they made it happen. She is a very good tattoo artist, with a light and steady hand. Very pleased it didn’t even hurt one bit. This place is very clean and bright. Makes me want to go back...... ????
The shop was very clean and had a very welcoming atmosphere when we came. The staff really worked hard to ensure that the pieces we got were perfect and fit every detail we wanted. My boyfriend and I are SO in love with your new tattoos!! The trip to Mississauga was extremely worth it and we can’t wait to come back!!
Beautiful space, people and art! I love the vibe and live plants in the space. They are very professional and talented staff! The space and tools are very clean and organized. I love Jina’s authenticity, kindness and joy for her work. She made me feel very comfortable and calm. Reasonable prices and professional with handling business. I would highly recommend!
I am so happy with the tattoo I got behind my ear! Beautiful and clean shop with friendly staff. I have many more tattoo ideas so I will be back soon
I recently got my daith pierced here at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings. The shop is clean and the staff is super nice and welcoming. Gwan Soon herself pierced my ear, she was very professional and calm which made me feel comforted since I had to go alone due to COVID. I absolutely love this gold ring we chose for the piercing, I think it suits the spot really well! I definitely recommend this shop for any piercings and I will be back!
Very friendly and Very gentle with both me and my daughter who’s first time getting a tattoo was made perfectly! Thank you ladies for the gentle touch!!
Just got my first tattoo here. Everyone was very nice and very professional. they were very helpful with every question I had. 100% would recommend to any one that is looking for a good place to get their tattoos done.
Had a great experience from when I walked in, till the time i left. Incredible Customer Service from all of the staff. Everyone is so professional that is just made the whole process so easy. Thanks for a special tattoo. Cheers.
If I you could give 6 stars I would. Amazing Service, Amazing Artists, and most importantly an Amazing atmosphere - they really make you feel at home. I've been here for two very large pieces and Jina did an amazing job. She was even able to design a better tattoo idea then the one I had drawn by a local artist. Trust me you won't regret this tattoo parlor. The best in Ontario.
Jina was amazing! Her work was very detailed and clear. The overall experience was so comforting and enjoyable. Jina is my go to from now on!
I got a flat piercing and helix months ago that never seemed to heal and would randomly bleed at the slightest touch. about 2 months ago I swapped both piercings used at the shop with earrings of my own and both started healing normally and are now fully healed. This place uses the wrong metals for piercings and from other reviews this might not be an accident. I'm glad I stopped blaming my care treatments and took initiative to switch out my piercings. also happy I read more of the negative reviews as the vibe of the artists and parlor can be deceiving. i was also considering starting my tattoo journey here but now I'm convinced malpractice may be going on here wow.
Went in for a small tattoo on my arm and I am very happy to have gone to this tattoo shop. The place was immaculate and everyone was very respectful. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Gwan Soon and she was amazing! It was my first tattoo and I was very nervous, she made me feel very comfortable and walked me through the whole process. I am so happy with my first tattoo and I’m already considering getting my next one!!!
Got a tragus piercing here, expected it to hurt like hell but it was genuinely the easiest and least painful one so far (prev. include: daith, conch, and couple helix). Price was OK, 60 (includes price of jewellry) and it came to 67$ CAD after tax. The piercer was experienced and super kind, as was the person working desk. Clean and professional environment, I'll be coming back again :D
Love gwan soon lee tattoos Jina is the best always has time for me good prices and great atmosphere gotten many tattoos from her a will definitely go back again
I got a tattoo cover up about a week ago here and i felt so comfortable walking in. the staff was amazing and super down to earth. my cover looks and feels amazing i would defiantly recommend this place to others!
First time going there. I'm from the United States and I was visiting for Thanksgiving. My 2 sisters and I went for matching sibling tatoos. Staff was very friendly and the environment was clean. Would definitely recommend this place, and I would ho back for another ink job.
the lady who did my tattoo was very sweet! i was comfortable and didn't feel like she was judging me as i do at a lot of other piercing and tattoo places. i would go here again! she even offered to take photos of my new tat for me :)
I found this place based on the reviews and I must say its true what you've read about them. I was looking for nose piercings....they are conveniently reliable in terms of hours of operation and they accept walk-ins( which I didnt even have to be sitting around for too long. They truly answered all my concerns and were very professional and helpful. Also very affordable....... I HONESTLY RECOMMEND these guys!!!
The best experience ever! positive vibes only! Cool, calm and collected! Amazing artist, will be back!
Jina did an amazing job with my tattoo! It was a very quick process and was very organized. Highly recommend!
My best friend and I got our first tattoos together. Everyone was so nice and took the time to confirm the tattoo and any changes before we got started. My artist was Steve who was super amazing since I was super nervous! He took his time and did little strokes so that I got lots of breaks. I love how my tattoo came out! ????
Gina and Gwan Soon were wonderful! Our experience was great. I would go back for more work and recommend this place to anyone.
Got my septum pierced at this place and had an amazing experience. everyone at the front desk was super nice and the whole piercing process itself was really great as well. The piercer informed me of every step and I watched her open all the tools needed so I knew everything was new and clean. Will def be coming back for more piercings here and recommending this place!!
I got my nose pierced at this location and it was a positive experience. The service was great and they were very professional. The environment was very sanitary. I highly recommend this location!
I have now had Jina tattoo me twice and I have a third appointment booked. She does amazing work. I can not recommend her enough! The shop is clean and the staff have been so friendly.
I got a small script written on my back, and the artist did a great job at making it as comfortable as possible for me the whole time! Such a welcoming and friendly tattoo shop. I would highly recommend booking an appointment here if ur planning to get any tattoo or piercings!!
I got 4 piercings here. The conch had the wrong type of jewelery put in and was at an angle that put pressure on it and caused me to have a painful bump. When I called I wasn't even seen, just told over the phone it was a keloid. I ended up going to a more knowledgeable and experienced piercer in Toronto. So I had to remove and let it heal and pay to get pierced again. It wasn't a keloid btw. The daith also had the wrong jewlery put in, also still managing bumps on it. I had to pay to get different jewelry as well. If you're getting lobe piercings I think they're fine but I wouldn't trust them with cartilage or anything else.
"UPDATE" This is now exactly 3 weeks old. I'm digusted!! Also just putting it out there, that I've been at home recovering from surgery for 3 weeks. So I haven't had to obsessively sanitize my hands like you would in public due to Covid. Literally the worst tattoo I've ever had and they refuse to fix their own shotty work" I've never posted a review in my life on Google, but people need to be warned before coming to this place. I paid 125$ for a 2 inch wobbly thin lined tattoo. I was displeased so asked two days later if when healed, I can get it fixed. I was told I'd have to pay an extra $40. IN WHAT WORLD would I ever want to go back and pay again for a trash tattoo. Avoid this place if you can. Worst tattoo I've ever gotten
I had a piercing and tattoo! It was my first time and felt incredibly comfortable! Very awesome vibe in the team!
I got my navel pierced a couple months ago and I had no problems with it what so ever. (I love it very much) The place is sanitary and well organized. Gwan used clean tools and asked me if I was okay with the marks she had made. She was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend.
I highly recommend this place! I’ve been getting most of my tattoos by Jina and she never disappoints - I’m always impressed and she makes them look even better than I imagine! We just did a portrait of my dog that looks identical to him! She’s a real artist. Check them out ❤️ - Kara
Jina did a fantastic job on my chest tat, was a comfortable and chill environment from start to finish. Definitely plan on returning / recommending them in the future!
Loved this place so much! Its smaller and quaint but the girls are fast and efficient. It was my first tattoo and they made it such a comfortable and enjoyable experience that I left with 2! Will definitely be back here for my next ones.
I really like mhjan's service. She make an amazing tattoo i love it.
The ladies were very polite and friendly. They were very accommodating. The tattoo shop was very clean and I overall enjoyed my experience there. I will definitely recommend to my friends and be coming back when I get my next tatts.
The staff were very nice and the overall atmosphere of the place was comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family
Gina was absolutely amazing. Got 2 of my tattoos done here today. Definitely going back to get more work done here. The location and the place is excellent. Thank you for the amazing work. ???? saranghe ????
Steve was the most awesome tattoo artist. It was my first experience and he made it as comfortable as possible. The art is amazing and personalized. Just freakin amazing. I love my tattoo!
One of the best tattoo places around. Jina was very kind...and knowledgable. And she is an artist. Genius. Super satisfied with my tattoo. Oh and the place is very welcoming and relaxing. I give this place 6 and half stars out of 5.
I got my first two tattoos here, had a really good experience both times. Very friendly atmosphere, clean environment, and talented artists!
Highly recommend. Been here a couple times. The dynamic is great and I love my tattoos. They make you feel so welcomed
Amazing experience here. They had great customer service and a very hygienic process. Jina saw me for a nose piercing on a last minute request. 5 days after my piercing, it fell out and I wasn’t able to put it back in, once again the saw me on a last minute and within a few minutes Jina had the piercing back in without any trouble.
Amazing place to get a Tattoo! I got a Tattoo at the end of September 2021 and it turned out AMAZING! The staff were all very helpful in helping to create and adjust my tattoo with giving suggestions so that my tattoo would come out great. I especially chose to come here because I wanted Korean writing in my Tattoo and wanted to make sure it was done properly and everything was spelled correctly. Everyone was very friendly and the Tattoo was completed in the estimated time frame which was great. I would definitely recommend getting your Tattoo done here.
So nice and super friendly. My nose piercing turned out so amazing! Definitely will be back!
Appreciate the time given to do our tattoos, especially as a walk in. Much appreciated! Very happy with the piece! Cheers :)
I recently got a piercing done here, everyone was nice and professional!! I have a bit of a needle phobia and everyone was extremely kind and accommodating. I was in and out quite quickly (it wasn’t rushed or anything, they were just experienced) and the woman who did the piercing (i’m assuming it was the owner) clearly knew what she was talking about and was very comforting. My piercing was only a bit sore at the touch after a couple days and i’ve had no issues with healing so far. I’m definitely coming here again for future piercings and possibly tattoos, and definitely recommending to other people
Went here to get my first tattoo and they were very friendly and patient with me. It was a quick and fun experience! My husband has already booked an appointment for his tattoo next! Great place to go.
This was my first tattoo so i was pretty nervous, but i had an idea in mind. We had 2 consultations just to fix up my design and figure out how i wanted it exactly. Throughout the whole process, emails were timely(eventho they were busy) and appointments were quick and to the point. When it was time to get my tatt i was comfortable enough to lay there and finally get it. The end result is an amazing design that went on the left side of my chest. The wheel of Chakra that's in the middle of the Indian flag, with a Ying-Yang in the middle. My favourite part is my mom and grandma birthdates go around it and just blessed the whole piece and I love it. I'm going to have to covered in ink eventually and i think i just found the place that knows exactly what my vision is and that's beautiful.
Daughter went twice so I did too! Amazing people! Bright, clean workspace. Call them for piercings and Tattoos!
It was great experience. Staff was very friendly. I’m glad that I got my first tattoo here. Thanks to the whole staff.
Got my nose pierced here. She was super sweet and patient. It's healed very well and looks great! I will definitely get another piercing here when I'm back in town.
I got my first tattoo here and I couldn’t be happier! They did a beautiful job and the tattoo is even better than I imagined. My kiddo has also had several piercings done here and they were excellent as well.
Awesome team. Very clean, neat space. Me and my friend got matching tattoos there of a rope - which we brought to the store - and they were super friendly. Took pictures of us holding it and everything. 10/10 would go back there!
My first impression of this shop is "super-clean". Front desk staffs are very organized and friendly. I had an opportunity to chat with the owner Ms Lee, she's very kind, humorous and inviting. And Finally the artist, Jina is so professional and artistic that, I had to ask her some addition during the work and she did some sketch on spot, and I am 100% satisfied. These ladies deserve more that 5 stars and I would recommend everyone to visit this shop. It is my go-to-shop from now on.
My first ever piercing experience was great! Very calm and super friendly place and professionals.
Best place to go to, highly recommended, very clean and professional, great tattoo artist. Jina did 2 big pieces for me and both look amazing. Jina stayed over time to finish my second tattoo.
I recently (Nov. 25)got another tattoo with Gwan Soon lee, i love it. She has done almost all my tattoo since 2006. She is such a gently artist, I never feel pain. Wonderful, quiet environment. LOVE LOVE!!!!
Very nice receptionists, piercers, and tattoo artists. The owner is a really sweet Korean lady, she gives off cool grandma vibes (✿^‿^) They can be a bit pricey depending on what tattoo you want and be aware that they have a $50 deposit that isn't refundable. Edit: I've changed my rating as I've been to other places and realized this place overcharges way too much for the services they provide. The tattoo I got here was my first and had i known the end result I never would've gone. I got a wrist tattoo and it's crooked :( another tattoo artist had to try and fix it. ALSO they told me that it wasn't possible to have my dream tattoo because "it was too small" but I went to another tattoo artist and he did it fantastically? (It's called Playhouse Tattoo Studios)
I went to get my septum done she set up everything in front of me. I watched her compare clamps for 10 minutes. She wouldn’t let my boyfriend in the room to hold my hand. She pierced it wrong and had to redo it, after it getting caught on my nasal cavity, and I had to remove it myself. She then kept trying to do the piercing slowly!? I’m not sure where she was trained but definitely not qualified for facial piercings. Also might I add this was done during stage Two of Covid. Edit: They offered a piercing for free if I removed the review because of the fact that I had stated that they did a piercing during stage two. :)
Went here a couple week ago to get a Helix piercing done. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiles and friendly service! The lady who did my piercing was very friendly, professional and over all just amazing. I also got a sneak peak at one of the tattoo artist finishing up a wolf tattoo on someone and I have to say they did an amazing job. I will for sure be back here! And everyone who's is reading this should DEFINITELY be coming here as well!!!
They are fantastic! Great customer service and sterile environment. Amazing artists, the design came out above and beyond my expectations.
Gwan Soon Lee is an amazing and a very talented artist. Her passion shows through her beautiful works. Her hand is so light, the touch of the needle felt like feather, I literally almost fell asleep while getting 2 tattoos done by her. Furthermore, the atmosphere of the shop if very chill and welcoming, just how I like it and the rest of the stuff is extremely helpful and friendly. The shop is very clean and sterile, not to forget it is beautiful inside. Also, Gwan Soon was kind enough to touch up a couple of lines on my previous tattoo done by another artist when I asked her if she could. That was so nice of her and is much appreciated. Big heart and beautiful soul, I feel honored to proudly wear her works on my body and looking forward to get tatted up more by Gwan Soon. I am pretty sure I'll be all tatted up by the time that I am 40 anyways and she has me as a customer for life. daedani gomabseumnida 143
Hello I am writing this months later sorry! ANYWAYS my friend "Mama" passed away and I got a tattoo of BEAUTIFUL little wings on my neck. The male artist was professional and so sweet! It's pricey but worth it!
Got my second lobe piercings here and it was great! The girl was super nice and easy to talk to. She was very clean too and it weant great! so happy with it
They accommodated me for a tattoo when they had no spots, on short notice. Artist stayed past close to finish it for me. Would definitely come by again. Friendly, knowledgeable staff with great customer service
I got my ears pierced here a couple of months ago and I'm honestly upset. The place was clean and the people were friendly but I was assured 4 times that the earings they use are titanium. They are not. I had a horrible reaction to the cheap piercing that they charged me $70 dollars for. I was scammed and can't say this is a place I'd return too. Very disappointed. I went elsewhere and they only charged me 50 and gave me real titanium.
Very communicative. Ensures all her clients are comfortable and confident in their designs. Very serene ambiance, helps put client at ease. Easy booking system, and amazing artists!
I just got my nose pierced for my birthday at this place. Absolutely loved it! Everyone was so so nice and helpful and made me feel a lot less scared about it. Would definitely recommend this place!
I've gotten my four tattoos done by Jina. She has done such an amazing job. This was my first time visiting their new location, as I got my previous three at their older location. I highly recommend getting a tattoo done here very clean place and like I said they do great work. Very gentle I hardly felt any pain while getting my newest tattoo and I'm definitely happy with the outcome.
Second time going back! Super nice! And I’m in love with my medusa piercing and nose piercing! Done an amazing job!
Got piercings done. They are extremely professional and cleared my concerns when I was nervous but the whole procedure was quick simple and painless! They also have really good prices!
Just went in today to get my lip pierced and it was great!! The people were super nice and the overall vibe of the place was great. I just walked in, filled out a form and was in and out within an hour. I would 10/10 recommend this for anyone who wants to get a piercing or tattoo as my experience was very enjoyable.
I just got some piercings done and it was a fantastic experience! Everyone is so nice and friendly, its very clean and organized, and the place in general is so cute!! Would 100% recommend going here for pericings and tattoos and in fact im planning on getting my first tattoo here too :)
Highly recommend this joint to get your tattoo! I got mine with Jina, she is very artistic, she knows what she doing and she's detail oriented. The shop is very safe and following all sanitary procedures to make it a safe environment to all customers. Will keep coming back to get more tattoos from Jina! :)
Nice little spot, called in a for a nose piercing, walked in and had it done all in less than an hour. No real pain, she was gentle and informative about how to clean the piercing, even gave me a paper about it. They even have their own spray for a good price. If I were to get another piercing; I’d trust this place honestly
I walked in to the shop for my tattoo. They were professional and polite great atmosphere. It's not my first time here got my noise pierced there as well. Very clean opened all tools in front of me. Would definitely recommend them.
I accompanied someone interested in two piercings. The walk-in job was efficient, safe, and professional. The place, though cramped, was clean and bright. Unfortunately, the gem on one of the earrings fell within a week and they have to wear the hollow jewelry until it fully heals. Just wished it was better quality.
I had a butterfly tattoo previously done from another tattoo shop and it faded quickly and was poorly done, but thanks to Gwan Soon it's all touched up and looks great! I've also previously went here for other tattoos and piercings and it's my go-to place. Thanks so much again :)
Jina was amazing! I came to her with a traditional Italian horn design that I wanted in red ink. She was patient when I was deciding on size, gentle with the area and instinctive with the colours and shading. I am so impressed with Gwan Soon Lee and I will definitely be back for more tattoos in the future.
Amazing! Super clean and immaculate vibes. Everyone is so friendly and the artists are mega talented!
Amazing, so clean and friendly. I was so relaxed and comfortable during my tattoo that I fell asleep. It was my first time there but won't be my last, already preping for my next one.
I really wanted to like this place and leave a good review :( i rarely leave any reviews at all but unfortunately this time i feel like i should. I got 3 cartilage piercings a week ago. Two one one ear and one on the other. I cleaned my ears 2-3 times a day with saline solution and was pretty careful with it but unfortunately it got badly infected ( which is noones fault) it can happen to anyone depending on how your body responds. But when i went to see another piercer to get my ear checked they have told me she used the wrong type of jewelry. I wanted to give the piercer the benefit of the doubt but after a lot of research i have realized that was true. She used earrings with butterfly clasps which apparently should never be used for cartilage piercings because the ears swell so much. And one of the earrings even bended whilst in my ear. I went back to the shop and asked her to take them both out as advised by my doctor and tried to ask for a partial refund. She has said its not her fault which i understand she has done a service but unfortunately the service was poor.
Amazing customer service. Got my first big tattoo here and absolutely love it. My husband got a hand tattoo after me which was just as good! And I'm going to be bringing my friend for her birthday.
I just got my first tattoo done, and it was a half sleeve. Jina did my tattoo and I honestly couldn't ask for a better experience. The shop is very comfortable to sit in, Jina, Gwan Soon and the other employees are fun to talk to, and overall it was just an amazing experience. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to get your first tattoo done!
Me n my friend went for a piercing. The Asian lady who ows the store was very rude n kept showing attitude. Not only that but the area is very small (it’s in the kitchen of a house) which made me uncomfortable. And they charg a lot more then other places. Would not recommend coming here there’s a lot better stores. Will never come back here.
I absolutely love this place! It's clean and welcoming and everyone there is genuinely so kind. Gwansoon is such a sweetheart, she's like the mother of the shop haha. I got a half sleeve done today by Jina, and I am OBSESSED with my tattoo! Honestly, she is so so talented, kind, and professional. I'm blown away by how amazing my tattoo looks! I recommend them 150%! Thank you Jina for such a beautiful tattoo????
They put up a strong front of being very kind and considerate but they literally only care about the cash in your pocket, they wont tell you that theres no tax if you pay cash in order to get you to pay more, their tattoos are overpriced ridiculously and there have been multiple instances of misconduct (piercing a nose post revoked consent) and Gwan Soon’s last shop was close for uncleanliness but they wont tell you that either. They think very little of mental health and are extremely nosy and don’t understand professional boundaries. Not to mention none of their apprentices are payed and they do 80% of the maintenance of the shop (e.g cleaning the whole shop, cleaning/disinfecting the tools, answering phones, scheduling, customer service 8hrs a day for no pay (when they get government money for even taking on apprentices; assuming they even put them on the books..)
I've had two tattoos by Gina, one in December and one in March 2019. Both experiences were excellent. Gina designed beautiful tattoos and they were exactly what I wanted. She's a true artist with a tattoo gun! She works quickly and allowed me to take a few breaks with my larger tattoo. In fact, one one break I even had my nose pierced! The environment is clean, welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend Gwan Soon Lee.
If you are thinking of getting a piercing please do not go to this place. I had a terrible experience getting my Medusa piercing. I had an appointment for 8, ended up getting my piercing at 8:40 and only leaving the place at about 9:10. When I sat on the chair to get the piercing, the piercer asked me what piercing I wanted to get, which is already unprofessional in my opinion as most places already have the set up ready for your piercing. When I told her the name of the piercing she looked extremely confused so I said “philtrum” as that is the correct name for that piercing. She still had no clue of what piercing that was so she asked me to show her where it was pierced, which makes me wonder if she is even a certified piercer or just a tattoo artist. After that, she was checking the placement and showed me the bar she was going to pierce it with, keep in mind the bar was very short and I know that this piercing tends to swell a lot so I asked if there was any other longer bar or if she thought that bar would be okay for swelling, her answers were “I am not sure” or “I think it will be okay”, she ended up finding a slightly longer bar and told me that one would be okay. She then went ahead and pierced my lip EXTREMELY SLOW. When the piercing was done I could tell it didn’t look right and she had pierced my Medusa at an angle, which caused the bar to get caught in my teeth. I felt very concerned and asked her if she taught it was pierced right, she not once assured me it was pierced right and told me right away “I told you to get the shorter bar.” I was very unhappy with the piercing so I asked it if she could put the shorter bar in, she agreed to do it (which is not safe and puts me at risk for an infection). About a minute later of taking the bar out she went ahead and clamped my lip again and was going to repierce it but she told me she had to make a different hole at the back (she knew the piercing was not right but didn’t want to admit to it). I was in so much pain and did not trust her to pierce my lip a second time so I did not go through with it, which I am glad. I called another piercing shop and explained what had happened and they told me piercers would never repierce the same spot twice right after it had been pierced as that leads to scar tissue build up and potential infections. When it came to payment, my piercing was originally going to be $80, I ended up having to pay $60 dollars. I left without a piercing, just a badly pierced hole in my lip. Would never recommend this place to anyone, they only care about the money!
I came in for a standard lobe piercing and it was such a good experience!!!The sevice was great!!! Everyone was very friendly finished my piercing in less than 5 minutes, was in and out of there in about 10 minutes. Great would recommend to anyone getting their first piercing!!! <3
Great to see Gwan Soon tattoos & piercings for a third time. After travelling Europe I’ve returned home and had the opportunity to reconnect with mother and daughter duo that are unbeatable! As tattoo artists, their attention to detail combined with how capable and gracefully they guide the tattoo gun across your skin for minimum pain and maximum detail makes for a great experience. This is truly something special and I am always blown away by their work. Great work ! Looking forward to seeing you in the future !
Such a great experience! They made my friend and I feel so comfortable (it was our first tattoo) and gave us in depth aftercare tips.
I went in today to have my nose pierced and was pleasantly surprised at how clean and professional everyone was. The staff are super friendly and I would highly recommend this shop if you want high quality service. 5++
They did not listen to my medical concerns about earnings and they were not sanitary. I ended up getting an infection and they did not care and did not return my money. Do NOT go there!!!
Amazing experience- it was my first tattoo and i could not have been in better hands!! Very clean and professional.
Got my tattoo here by Jina! I showed her my idea and she turned it into a beautiful masterpiece! I am in love with it and just want to show it off to everyone I meet. Thank you Jina for the great art work you created on my arm, it is truly amazing and couldn't have it done any other way. The staff that work there are fabulous! They make you feel welcomed right when you walk through the door. I recommend anyone who is looking for their first or next tat to Gwan Soon Lee!
Very clean and professional. Able to accomodate all of our needs. Everyone was also very personable!
Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable piercer in a small private room. I’d get my piercings in the future here again without a doubt. Edit: Got some more piercings and brought a friend too! Love them as well and they’re all healing really nicely.
Female owned! Very good artists who know what they're doing.
Couldn't be happier with the tattoo. Great atmosphere and very personable staff. Will definitely be back.
Got a tattoo done by Sarah today and I absolutely love it ! Her art work is so clean and nice looking, so happy with the results ! Definitely going back one day ????
Love this place. I've been twice, once with my husband and I was with my best friends and I've gotten 3 tattoos done, all great work. Would definitely recommend Gwan Soon Lee and I am already planning my next visit.
Very cozy, welcoming and clean environment. I walked in with a tattoo idea in my head and I left with exactly that!! :) I will definitely be going back for more in the future
I have 8 tattoos from both owners. Every day I get compliments on them, some being 5 years old and still looks brand new. I’m so happy they moved into a bigger location because they deserve to!! I send all my friends to this location :)
Everyone was awesome! Loved my tattoo! Awesome job!
I highly recommend getting your tattoo done here, they are accommodating, incredibly helpful and make you feel extremely relaxed. Jina, who did mine did an amazing job and I am just in love my tattoo, not to mention the incredible fine line work. Thanks so much :)
I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say. Arranging the appointment for my tattoo was comfortable and easy which helped with it being my first ever tattoo and I wasn’t sure how to go about it. The design was beautiful as well with the finished product. It was clean inside and I was comfortable through the process. Overall, it was really enjoyable and I’m glad I got my first tattoo here.
By far the best tattoo experience I've had so far. I have 3 tattoos that have been done here and plan on going back (even though it's a 2 hour trip) because of their fine-line style and amazing atmosphere. All lines are very clean and precise. Every precautionary step is taken in order to reduce any type of risk and they take the time to educate you based on either having experience with tattoos or none at all which I really appreciated. I highly recommend going here if you're looking to get a tattoo!
Very good experience as it was my first tattoo! They were very understanding and considerate and the atmosphere was super chill. :) loving my new tattoo so far.
Amazingly talented artists. Bright, comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Shop is very clean and bright. To top off the experience Gwan Soon and Jina are super cool. I won't go anywhere else for any future art. Highly recommend Gwan Soon Lee Tattoo.
The worst piercing place ever. They beg you for google reviews. Cheapest quality jewellery and immatures working there. They learn on the job by messing up on you.
Great tattoo shop, artists are very talented and friendly. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a tattoo, no matter how big or small.
I just got my Phoenix Tattoo done on my forearm and they are SUPER MIND BLOWING ❤️, because the tattoo design I wanted, they definitely brought it to life (like they made it exactly as I wanted and requested) ????????????????. Also, they are definitely super generous and lovingly kind on providing me with the tattoo wax for my tattoo aftercare, despite I was a little short on money to buy one. But honestly, you guys are the best, and I would definitely suggest my friends to come to you to get their tattoos and piercings done, and if the best tattoo place awards happen, then you guys deserve the award, and May you guys continue providing us the best service for years and years ahead. God bless. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Karyssa was really helpful! My goodness she was gentle and kind for my jewelry change, and helped me make right choices! I definitely recommend.
Gina was sweet and personable. Me and my friend went in for matching tattoos and left extremely happy with her service. Clean area and always made sure to sanitize multiple times if she needed to remove her gloves to manuever a stencil or make modifications.
By far the best tattoo experience I've had. It my first 2 tattoos and I have done here and plan on going back to get some colour because of their fine-line style and amazing atmosphere. All lines are very clean and precise. Every precautionary step is taken in order to reduce any type of risk and they take the time to educate you based on either having experience with tattoos or none at all which I really appreciated. I highly recommend going here if you're looking to get a tattoo! or a piercing done. They are so very gentle, love the shop
This was my first time getting ear piercings done and I love how they turned out! I got my lobes done and a helix piercing too and they were all quick and virtually painless. The piercer was friendly and took all my input into consideration. Highly recommended.
I got my second tattoo here and the environment was super clean and all the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the artist when helping me customize my tattoo. The outcome of my tattoo is amazing. I would definitely recommend.
I went to get a tattoo here yesterday. I am extremely happy with the result. This was my first tattoo and the ladies working there made me feel really relaxed and welcome. They are very funny, professional and clean! Overall, it was a fun experience I definitely recommend!
Ive gotten 4 of tattoos here and all turned out amazing! They’re very accommodating and most of all the artists take their time and you can definitely tell from the work they have done. Absolutely love the service and the work they do. I would recommend Gwan Soon to any person looking to get a tattoo or a piercing.
Jina has done both of my tattoos and I wont go anywhere else. Her attention to detail and realism is beyond words. She is patient with the customers, has a super clean shop and bring your ideas to life. Highly recommend Jina and her shop.
Love my new piercing! Everyone made me feel extremely comfortable and my piercer went over all aftercare procedures. I'm definitely booking here for any & all future tattoo/piercings.. or both hehe ;)
They were super nice and friendly when me and my friend when to get our ears pierced. Really inviting and clean place! Its been two days and my ear feels great only a little bit of pain left. (They did the top piercing in the picture)
Amazing place to go for a first tattoo. Very clean and organized and extremely clear on the process as well as the after care. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very nice. They got my tattoo exactly how I wanted it, I would not change a thing. Overall great experience here!
Love the work that was done on my arm. ....the staff are very professional.... I recommend anyone to check out the shop.....
I got a tattoo and tragus piercing at Gwan Soon Lee tattoos and I'm very happy with them both! Gwan Soon was very nice and gave me exactly what I wanted in terms of tattoo style (I was looking for something delicate with fine linework) Chill vibes, nice people, and cool studio, would definitely recommend! :)
I personally cannot recommend this place for piercings, I went about a month ago and had a mediocre experience and results. Basically if you notice details like me and are looking for guidance, then you won't pleased. I had my left earlobe pierced already years ago, and went here to also get my right earlobe pierced. Unfortunately after the piercing, my newly pierced right earlobe was noticeably not even with the left earlobe. I expected better from a professional place, i.e. professional measuring tool which was not used. I also wasn't 100% sure where I wanted the placement of my cartilage piercing, so I asked for their opinion of the placement, unfortunately I did not get much advice and it was left up to me. I went ahead where she made the mark for the piercing, but the cartilage was pierced too low, which is my fault for accepting. I just expected more professional advice and guidance of the placement which I did not get at all. Also I got a hoop for my cartilage which is not ideal for healing. Wish they told me about that. Thankfully I found a place in Toronto that was able to give me guidance on the perfect placement for my cartilage piercing, basically giving me what they feel is the best placement, and they consulted me in detail. Also they told me the hoop is not good for cartilage healing. The other place in Toronto was also able to accurately measure the right earlobe and re-pierce it, so it is now even with the left earlobe. Overall not impressed with Gwan Soon Lee Piercings, as someone who was looking for consultation/advice and accurate measurement for piercings, this is not the place.
Amazing! Went in to get a memorial tattoo. Staff was very accommodating. Very tight and clean line work. Very clean environment. %100 recommend, and I will be returning for my next tattoo.
They did an amazing job on my tattoo and piercings ????
Very friendly staff, I felt very welcomed from the moment I stepped foot inside the shop. I got a tattoo done by Jina Lee and she was incredible, her attention to detail is fantastic and she made me feel comfortable the entire session. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!
I got my first tattoo here and the staff are so lovely and genuine. Everyone helped me out on the placement and gave helpful suggestions in general. I felt super comfortable here, and everyone's personality is unique, making this shop a gem. 10/10 would recommend.
Absolutely amazing service! We had to show up a bit late but they were very considerate and flexible. Very clean and professional space. Would highly recommend for piercings
I got my very first tattoo done here, and I can confidently say that I will be back! The artists were all so kind and professional. I appreciate the precautions they took for cleanliness to ensure a safe experience for everyone. The work is so neat and beautifully done! 1000/10 would recommend (Their music is amazing as well) ????
Too overpriced for no reason. She wanted to charge for a tragus area piercing 60 dollars, whereas in other professional places it's way cheaper they do 3 for 60 dollars such as Ink&Pleasure. For a simple hand tattoo she charged my friend over 700 dollars. Just too overpriced!
I'm in Love with the piece Jina did on me!!! It's perfect and she was amazing throughout the 2 sessions.
Came here for an industrial piercing. Walked - in and was greeted by friendly and professional staff, and was served very quickly. The location though small, is very clean, well lit, and comfortable. The piercing itself was very well done, and they double checked to make sure I was happy with the angle and location before proceeding with the piercing.
One of the greatest experiences of my life. Super clean and awesome staff that are some of the most artistic people i have ever met in my life! 5/5 will be coming back for more !
Professional people.. great experience. Highly recommend Gwen Soon for tattoos.
Got a tattoo done today and I’m actually in love with it. The atmosphere of the place was very calm and the service was great! I forgot the tattoo artists names but they were really nice and I just got good vibes from them. I would definitely recommend this place.
Aside from the place being a little confusing to find, I had a nice experience. I went and got my nose pierced there, and it was super quick and easy! Will definitely come back for my other piercings.
Amazing and professional staff. They are very accommodating will definitely be going back agian sometime soon
Terrible place! Don’t go there for any piercings
Very professional environment with welcoming staff, Jina did an amazing job on my tattoo, will be coming back for more!
Great experience. The shop is clean and relaxing, staff is friendly and welcoming. It was my first time getting a tattoo, Gina did both my tattoos and she did a great job! I went with a group of 4 girls and we all ended up getting multiple tattoos and piercings. They were very accommodating and patient with all of us. They made sure we were all comfortable with the design and placements of our tattoos and piercings.
Came in for the very first time for an upper earlobe piercing and I am very happy! Quality of service was excellent, the staff was very attentive and friendly, and the procedure itself was fast, clean and informative. Will definitely come back again!
Got my first tattoo with these ladies, absolutely incredible. Just got my 7th one done, can't wait to go back soon. Would highly recommend, very clean, extremely friendly. Worth the pricing, they create great conversations and make sure you're okay during the entire tattoo. Seriously cannot wait to go back.
Had a very great experience here getting a tattoo. Very friendly staff and have a clean studio. Highly recommended to get piercing and tattoo here ????????
I chose this place for piercing with my sisters, because of high reviews. We were not disappointed! It's a very spa-like studio, clean and relaxing, and the workers were kind, professional and reassuring. The piercing was quick and sterile. They offer a great selection of jewelry to choose from, with no up-selling! I would recommend this place for piercing to everyone wanting the best quality services at a reasonable price.
Went in to get my nose pierced, the price was reasonable and the staff were super friendly. Had a good conversation and did not even realise when I got my piercing done. Sanitised and clean, definitely recommended.
I am so happy I came across this place. I decided to get my first tattoo last year and just looked up the best tattoo shops in the area and this shop was the first one that came up. 1 year later, and I've gotten all 3 of my tattoos done by them. Recently got my first rose tattoo touched up with a masterpiece on my sternum by Jina herself. I will always be recommending this place for anyone looking for a neat and professional tattoo. The artists make you feel so comfortable and important as they make sure to take care of you (from water bottles to fanning you when you might pass out lol).
Had an amazing experience for my first tattoo! Jina was awesome and service was fast, clean and friendly. Definitely will be coming back for another tattoo!
My mom and I both got tattoos from here and thought it was a very a clean and hygienic environment. Sarah did my tattoo and I'm very happy with the results.
I got a tattoo done here today. They did amazing work! From answering all my questions and my millions of phone calls! They even helped me find a parking space! Amazing line work, even more amazing customer service. This is my second tattoo there (I did my first tattoo there as well) and I will forever be their loyal customer. Definitely recommend
Got my tragus pierced here! Carissa (i think that’s her name) did a great job. Will be my go-to for any new piercings.
The staff at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings is incredible! Everyone is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Gwan Soon Lee did an amazing job with one of my favourite tattoos ever! I got this tattoo in memory of my best friend and she nailed the piece and made it exactly what I wanted. She did not hesitate to retrace and replace it several times until I got exactly what I wanted. She even 'free handed' the tail and boys hair in the piece and the details came out incredibly. I've only gone to Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings since! Love it there!
It was my first tattoo ever and it was amazingly done, the lady that did my tattoo is super talented, I am amazed! not only was the tattoo great but the atmosphere was great too, the mother and daughter are so kind, they even covered me with my sweater to make sure i don't get cold, I am so glad to have gotten my tattoo there and will go again sometime in the future!
Came in today as a walk-in for an earlobe piercing, and I had an amazing experience. There was no wait time, I was seen immediately. The shop was clean and organized, and the piercing process was painless and quick. She provided aftercare information and the entire atmosphere of the shop was cozy and professional! Would definitely come here again!
Super nice and very friendly. Very helpful and patient with finding placement for tattoo. Gave me and my boyfriend the cutest tattoo, we are very thankful we went here.
I've been going here for 8 years. The quality is amazing. I recommend
I love them. Perfect omg.
I got my nose pierced today and it was so much better than I expected. I walked in and they took me immediately. The studio was clean and she disinfected everything very well. When she did it, it was very quick and I barely felt it! No blood, no tears. I was amazed when she was done. They have print out follow up instructions and have cute jewellery as well at good prices. I would definitely recommend!
Exceptional quality and quality service. Reasonable price and clean. Very professional
Excellent customer service! I felt warm and welcomed when greeted with a smile as soon as I walked in. I originally wanted to get tattooed here because of the quality of artwork. Bit the service and beauty of the staff is what sold me. Attention to detail and the head artists is always making sure you feel comfortable.
Got a tragus piercing form Jina and was super happy with the results. I did a lot of research during this period to find a reputable, clean, and accommodating studio during these times and Gwan Soon seemed like the best place for this. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and the pricing was extremely reasonable. I also appreciated how all the staff wore PPE and providing me with the peace of mind that I could get my piercing safely as they sanitize all of their equipment thoroughly!
Great atmosphere! Jina is amazing, the piercings I got were done quick and professionally. Will come back here again for more :) 5/5.
Went here with a friend earlier today and had the pleasure of being pierced by Jina! She was super friendly, funny and kept the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing. Definitely coming here again for future piercings!!
Had a great experience at this shop, very clean and the staff is very friendly. In love with the new tattoo!
the lady who did my tattoo was very sweet! i was comfortable and didn't feel like she was judging me as i do at a lot of other piercing and tattoo places. i would go here again! she even offered to take photos of my new tat for me :)
The environment was so nice, as soon as you go in you feel confortable. I'm in love with my tattoos , i will definitely go back next time.
Staff helped me feel at ease and did a really good job with my piercings. The shop was clean and had a nice atmosphere too!
The artists are very friendly and professional, my tattoo looked great, just like I wanted. Thanks guys
Highly recommended. Friendly, clean and quality work. I would absolutely return again!
I had my first tattoo done yesterday with Jina and she did an amazing job! The whole tattoo process was very comfortable and quick. In addition, all the individuals working at the shop are very kind and professional. I am in love with the way my tattoo turned out and will definitely be back for future tattoos. Thanks again Jina!
Jina is super nice and very professional, she definitely knows what she's doing and is very talented. My friends and I got our tattoos done here, clean place and welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommend!!!
I loved the tattoo and the lady.... she is super cute and friendly.... she designed a beautiful tattoo for me and everybody loved it... she is very professional at work and i am gonna get my another tattoo from her really soon... :)))) <3
Super lovely tattoo shop, clean. Gwan Soon is very nice and did an amazing job with my piece. Thank you guys again for accommodating!
Beautiful layout of the store! The woman who pierced me has a very calm voice so I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. I like how she explained what she was doing step by step and she was also a good conversationalist in general!
My ear got severely infected with the earring that was used! They used fake metal and I had to get the earrings professionally removed. They lied and would not give me a refund for what happened. Do not waste your money or time on this place !!
Called today for a quick tattoo and was able to be seen within the hour. Extreamly happy with my new tat. Beautiful clean shop,very welcoming and def will be going back for more work.
Went in with just an idea and they turned it into an amazing half sleeve. Friendly and knowledgeable artists in a comfortable and clean shop. Jina is an amazing artist, who brought to life just an idea I had. Highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back.
Very professional, Jina was amazing and I love my new tattoo
10/10. Super great experience! friendly staff and clean place
The staff was really friendly and very accommodating. All the staff was also masked at all times which is great. I'm so glad I decided to come here! I had a wonderful experience and I fully reccomend this studio to anyone looking to get a beautiful tattoo.
I felt extremely comfortable with the girl that pierced me and she was so gentle I barely felt anything. Everything was sanitized and clean too. 10/10 would recommend
Got my septum done here the other week and it was great. I called 15 mins before I wanted to show up, and 30 mins later I had a piercing. Place is clean, piercer is quick but thorough, and very gentle :). Happy with my piercing!
This place is unprofessional. A small piece was requested "life imitates art" and the ink was not clear, you couldn't read it properly and in the end I wasn't given a refund. I am dissatisfied with this artist's work and the experience I …
I got my second tattoo here. I was kinda scared because my first tattoo isn't what I hoped it would be, and the experience there wasn't the kindest. However, at Gwan Soon Lee, I will definitely be coming back for all my tattoos! They really take the time to make sure that your tattoo is how YOU want it. Not to mention, the end product was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend going here :-)
Everything from the initial phone call, until the guns turned silent for my wife and myself was a wonderful experience dealing with Gwan Soon Lee and Co! My apologies on the delay for the review but it finally happened haha. My wife still loves her work as do I with mine....I will be back whenever everything is back up and running undoubtedly!! Thank you once again and god bless! Haizel & Justin
Walked in to get one done. Gina was able to guide me through the visual of what the tattoo would look like and it was exactly what I wanted. She was patient, more than friendly and overall just a down to earth person to be around. Tattoo looks fantastic and more than what I could imagined. Thank you!
I got my first tattoo here a month ago and I am beyond impressed with the staff! The lady on the phone is so kind and helpful; the one with the short hair helped with tattoo prep. She was very positive and made me feel comfortable! Gwan Soon Lee was doing my tattoo, very professional and honestly, made it a relaxing time. This is an amazing place to get your tattoo done and you should definitely follow them on Instagram (@gwansoontattoos, @jina.gwansoontattoos). - Khushi Kurup
I recently had a half sleeve done by Jina and I absolutely love it! The line work is incredible, the shading is spot on and I’ve had none stop compliments on not only the piece, but on the quality of work. On top of that, she and everyone there made sure I was comfortable, made conversation and were truly genuine. Will definitely be going back for more.
I went to get a tattoo here, I am extremely happy with the results. Gina did an amazing job. She was extremely kind and professional and very welcoming. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it!
My experience here was awesome..!! I was really nervous as it was my first Tattoo but Gwan made it so easy for me...I love my Tattoo n would surely go for another one soon..
The staff are very nice and professional and the place is very clean. The piercer is very patient and will guide me through the aftercare process and answer any questions. Overall very high quality service!
I got my nose pierced today. it's the second time that i get the same piercing, the first time was painful and it got infected (cheap place) but in this place things went well, the staff was super nice and even though i was nervous, they did a great job calming me down. i love it i recommend this place if you're looking to get a piercing.
Went to get my nose pierced and I had such a great experience, clean sterile environment and my piercer was super great made the experience quick and comfortable! Thank you!!
I love the cleanliness, the knowledge of the owner and daughter towards placement of the tattoo an aftercare as well as everyone is very kind and welcoming. I've gotten two tattoos from here and they're both done so cleanly. I just recently got a tattoo on the side of my hand in Korean writing and I love it, it is a very clean done tattoo and the placement suggested I couldn't be anymore happier with it! I strongly recommend them!
Super friendly! It was so nice and clean. I love my new tattoo! They made me feel very welcome and comfortable. My tattoo looks exactly how I wanted to. Communication was awesome and received quick responses! I will def. be going back again!!
What a welcoming place! I was super nervous going in and everyone helped me with the experience and totally made it easier on me. I am so grateful and completely pleased with the outcome. <3
Jina is an incredible and a talented artist! She knows how to make her clients feel comfortable and the shop is a friendly environment. I definitely would recommend for anyone looking to get a tattoo!
4 of us were on a 5,000 km road trip and stopped in to get mother/daughter and mother/son tattoos to commemorate our trip. First, the shop is beautiful and clean...they take cleanliness and sterility very seriously! Both Gwan & Gina were so kind, helpful and professional through the consult and actual tattooing. All our tattoos turned out amazing and the next time we want ink we'll be traveling the 2,500 km to get them done here! Thank you so much!!
This is my first tattoo and it’s done by Sarah, i loved it, she was very nice and friendly and the work was great
I am a returning customer and I think this will be my last visit. I feel like I was over charged for the work I had done. $360 for 2 mini tattoos. I also feel like the artist was rude when I was trying to explain what I wanted. Because of the price, I had to give up some details in my tattoo which literally was 1cm big. I’m still unhappy.
I went there in July and got pierced my left ear. The only reason I went there 'coz of reviews but really disappointed with the earring quality and piercing, it's been just two months and a diamond came off from it. Not only that, now I'm unable to put any earrings into my ear although I took care nicely and never took them off. it was a bad decision going there as it was a waste of my time and money. Update - They offered me a new one and I gotta say this time the girl was extremely professional and the staff was very friendly too.
So happy about my new piercings!!! Thank you Jina! Staff are so friendly and actually care to talk to the guests, and the shop itself is clean, nicely decorated, and has good vibes. The piercing experience itself was super sanitary, and quick and easy! Even when I wanted to make adjustments to the placement of the piercings, Jina was patient and made sure I was happy before doing the piercings. Thank you again! - Julia
Recently got a tattoo done by Jina, she was great, great attention to detail, took her time, design was great as well. Offers design review before the session, everything was amazing. The shop is also very clean, well lit, easy parking. Will definitely be returning here for future work
Very creative artists able to do Incredibles things I have 10 tattoos done by the ladies and I still get compliments on how well they were done and the artwork
I got my tattoo yesterday of a lavender (2") done by Jina and I loved it! It was so delicate and precise. It was my first tatt.. quite pricy for a 2" tattoo but the way the results came out it was worth it and I'm satisfied ❤️
Got a Tattoo done last week, and the experience was amazing and the environment was super clean and friendly. Will definitely be back soon!
Amazing workmanship. Crisp lines. Shading experts. Easy to work with from designing to completion. Gwan and Jina are professional very friendly. Would never go to another shop.
My friends and I got our noses pierced here. Best service i've ever received. Everyone working here is so nice and welcoming. Everything was so clean. I believe the owner pierced my nose and she made me feel so comfortable by making conversation with me. I instantly felt like I was friends with the staff!! I could go on, this was an amazing experience, definitely coming back!! :)
Loved my experience here for my 4th tattoo. I walked with no appointment and got taken care of as soon as I walked in. The lady was very meticulous and sanitized everything very well which made me feel alot safer. She took her time, my tattoo is a lot of fine lines and they are all so clean. I definitely recommend this place and will be coming back for future tattoos.
Steve did my tattoo and Jina did my friend’s and they both turned out awesome! Really clean and chill environment. Steve and Jina were also super nice and really fun to talk to. Highly recommend coming here!
Got my first tattoo recently and I really love it!! The people here are very nice and accommodating, special thanks to Gwan Soon who did my first tattoo. Definitely coming back here when I get more tattoos.
I've always had a great experience at Gwan Soon Lee's over the last 4 years and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo, whether it's their first time or if they're looking for more work like a sleeve or back piece. Gwan Soon and Jina have continued to grow as artists and have refined their style while also diversifying; which is saying a lot considering they were already very talented! Their new location is beautiful, bright, and welcoming - if you're considering a tattoo give them a call and setup a consultation!
I got tattooed for the first time by Jina. Had a wonderful experience! I was super nervous and she helped calm me down. She’s great at what she does, would definitely recommend anyone that’s interested in getting a tattoo to come here. They really take care of you :-)
I got my first ever tattoo with Jina and I love it! The whole atmosphere of the studio is so welcoming and friendly, the whole experience of getting my tattoo was amazing and Jina's work is incredible.. will definitely recommend to all family and friends and cant wait to book my next one !
I walked in and they were able to accommodate my needs right away. The staff were very friendly and you can definitely tell that all their equipments were clean and sterile. Great experience and would get a micro tattoo again done by them.
I just got a couple new tattoos from here and the experience was awesome. Definitely my favorite tattoo parlor by far. The artist (I didn't get her name) was super helpful and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Their work was incredible and I'm extremely happy with my new tattoos. And I'm also grateful that they saw me last minute as a walk-in appointment. Can't wait to come back for my next one!
Did tragus, industrial and helix piercings here all with great experiences with each one. Had an all afternoon session getting the chakras tattooed down by spine by Jina and her patience and professionalism was superb. Felt very warm and welcoming and would recommend to anyone from anywhere to visit this shop for all your tattooing and piercing needs!
This is my second time getting a tattoo here at Gwan Soon Lee's and once again I had a great experience! My tattoos turned out great and the environment is very clean and the staff is very nice and inviting. Will definitely be coming back!
Amazing place , very nice people , all were welcoming and happy to be there, amazing work as well , looking forward to going back for more tattoos
Had a great experience here today! Got matching tattoos with my mom and brother. Gwan Soon and Jina were super nice and personable and really efficient. It was like getting my tattoo from a gangster Korean Auntie (in the best way possible). Would definitely come here again!
This was my first tattoo and I was quite nervious, but the staff is so friendly, accommodating and welcoming the whole time! This place has such a great atmosphere, very clean and you feel so comfortable. Also, the work is so beautifully done by such talented artist who take their craft seriously. Would recommend to everyone! ????????
I got my second tattoo here about a week ago and it's already healing so nicely and everyone was very friendly, will defenitely be going back.
For my 1st tattoo I loved the experience. Jine was great very professional made me feel very comfortable very clean place the price reasonable I recommend it to everyone
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Beautiful studio. Kind & respectful staff. Iv personally had several pieces inked by both Gwan & Gena all gorgeous and skillfully executed. I have referred many ppl to this studio and I'll continue to. Thank you Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos! ????????❤
This place is amazing, I recommend all to go here. The environment is beautiful, clean & safe. She just moved to a much better location & I can see that her business is growing which she deserves. She has done 5 of my tattoos & I couldn’t be happier :D thanks again!!
Love this place! Got my first tattoo here by Jina. It came out better than I expected. I had a couple of ideas and she did a great and unique design of what I wanted. Amazing artist, overall great experience. Highly recommend this shop.
Originally went there with my girlfriend to get her tongue pierced which they did an amazing job on. But also got a tattoo that was amazingly done. Great place to go, small location but great people that will listen to what you want but also make sure it gets done right.
Been here 3 times now for 3 different tattoos. Always a pleasure. Highly recommend. Was taken as a walk-in and wasn't rushed. Thank you for the awesome work!
Highly recommend Gwan Soon Lee, Jina has done a few of my tattoos and she never disappoints. Definitely go check them out!
Great spot for piercings! Everything was explained throughly before and after the procedure and they made sure I was comfortable and I was happy with the results! Definitely recommended!
I could not be more pleased with my experience at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings. I had a shoulder tattoo that was done for a full day sitting and the welcoming and comforting feel was beyond appreciated. The work they do is exceptional quality and I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo of any size. I had a design in mind and they were able to create it into something better than I ever could have imagined. If you are considering going to get a tattoo from here, I urge you to make the appointment and go! You will not regret it. I cant wait to be back.
Me, my sister, and our friend got a matching tattoo at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos and Piercings and we had an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly and made the entire process easy and comfortable. Our tattoo artists were extremely professional, clean, and very talented. We will definitely be coming here again in the future, and we fully recommend this studio for anyone looking to get tattoos.
Got Exceptional service, whole staff is helpful and polite .. live my experience over here...
Just finished a full sleeve with Jina and would highly recommend to anyone wanting exceptional quality and detail. Being an artist myself and very picky, Jina was able to take my vision and exceed my expectations, 11/10 ????????????????
Jina has done both of my partner's tattoos and she did an amazing job on both. Jina works closely with her clients to make their visions come to life. She is very nice, patient and pays extremely close attention to detail. The shop is a very clean, intimate setting where she allowed me to sit with him for both tattoo sessions. I highly recommend Jina and Gwan Soon Lee overall.
If you're looking for a quality tattoo, for a more than reasonable price stop right here. The level of professionalism is second to none at Gwan Soon's. You tell them what you want, they'll ink it on you. They will be upfront with you, they will be honest. If you want a good experience in getting a tattoo, you won't find a better place to take care of your needs.
I came here for my first tattoo and they were really welcoming and kind! The place itself is really nice too. I'd highly recommend this place.
AMAZING WORK AND AMAZING PEOPLE!
Just got my first tattoo from here today and it turned out way better than I had imagined. They were so patient with customizing the design and made sure I was perfectly happy and comfortable with it before beginning. Everyone there was very friendly and kind in every interaction I had with them, from the consult, to booking an appointment to getting the actual tattoo. The artist even offered to take a picture of my tattoo afterwards. Overall, this is a great place and I would want to get all my future tattoos from here.
Got my first tattoo here very professional and nice people would recommend to friends and family to get tattoos done here overall a good experience
Had a tattoo done yesterday with Jina she did awesome work and made me feel so comfortable. Very professional and amazing artist! Highly recommend!! definitely coming back soon for more tattoos
I love my tattoo! I was nervous to get it since its my first but they make you feel comfortable. They are very friendly and professional at the same time. The salon is sparkling clean. I would definitely go back here to get another tattoo!
Went here to get my cartilage pierced today. The lady who pierced me was super friendly, welcoming, and allowed the whole process to be a breeze! Definitely going back again for future piercings!
I've gotten a tattoo and piercing from this shop and I left both times SUPER happy. They're very friendly, super professional, and overall had great vibes that made my experience with them fantastic. Also, they took my vision for the tattoo I wanted and made it perfect! Would highly recommend!!
Very friendly, clean and professional! I have gotten 2 tattoos here and I am thrilled with how they turned out! They do beautiful work and make sure you get exactly what you want! Will be back for another!
All staff were extremely nice and very sweet. For my first tattoo, I am very content and happy with the way it turned out. Glad to see the cleanliness of the shop, especially during this time (covid). Getting a tattoo done can be slightly intimidating, but all the tattoo artists are kind and make it a very comforting and exciting experience.
Very warm, welcoming and clean environment. I got a few butterfly ???? on both feet and a couple tattoos on my toes, it was even better than what I asked for. Overall service is exceptional. I will definitely be going back soon...
5/5 experience. This is my second time visiting Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercing, BOTH times were spur of the moment decisions and they were able to accommodate me right away. My tattoo came out so beautiful and exactly what I had in mind. Everyone at the shop is kind and personable. I highly recommend Gwan Soon Lee for all your tattooing and piercing needs.
I came here to buy jewellery. I was trying to ask questions from the person working there and got very little guidance. I emphasized I have reactions to metals, they sold me some garbage stating they were surgical steel and hypoallergenic. My few years healed piercings became green, inflamed, and pus filled within 1 week. I had to take them out and when I brought the pieces back to the shop, they denied that the jewelry was surgical steel. After going to a more reputable, experienced shop, they explained "surgical steel" to describe jewellery is a gimmicky phrase to broadly cover lower quality jewelry to pass them off as legit. Lesson learned. Would not recommend the jewellery here.
I got my first tattoo here on Saturday, and was extremely pleased with the whole experience. It was clean, all of the staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions, and I was made to feel totally welcomed and excited with my choice. The process was explained (I got a small tattoo with strokes behind the ear), and it went very fast. No pain at all involved! I already can't wait to get my next one here.
Very friendly staff and and clean environment. Had a cover up done,but the picture I had chose had to made bigger to fit the old tattoo.I was really happy because it was done in way that the picture wouldn't look to distorted but still covered. Very quick also
Great service and lovely people. I walked in and I knew it was right place to get my piercings done. I got my ear lobes pierced and I barely felt a thing. Everything was so seamless; from the time I walked in to when I was done. Wonderful experience and highly recommend!! Thanks a lot!!! :)
Got my helix piercing done here yesterday and it was amazing. The staff was super nice and the place was adorable. Loved it!!!!
I loved the service, great vibes and made sure you got exactly what you asked for. They make sure your comfortable and ready before you start. Will definitely make another appointment
I messed up my nose piercing and got it infected but i thank each member of the Gwan Soon Lee team...they were so positive and welcoming and helped me take my piercing out... Fab team❤️
Great spot. Very clean and very welcoming.Amazing artists very professional. So happy with the piece I received. Deffinetly returning for more work. If you want an amazing tattoo that you will be proud to wear for the rest of your life this is the number 1 spot.
There is no other place I would go for my tattoos. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I had some paw prints done by Stephen and he got every detail down and understood how much the detail of these prints meant to me. I will definitely come back here for my next tattoo.
Got my first tattoo here. It was a simple, clean design. I exchanged emails several times to confirm what I wanted. Response was always quick. The salon is clean and found this mother/daughter team friendly and fun. Got exactly what I wanted. Wee bit pricey but great artistry. Am planning my second tattoo and will go back to Gwan Soon Lee.
To begin with, I randomly chose this place since they were the first place to respond back and I don't regret it! Not once did I feel uncomfortable during the time I was there. Big shout out to Steve! Had my little tattoo piece done in less than an hour and turned out way better than expected. Will definitely spread the word out about them to my friends and will be back for more tattoos!
I came for a wrist/hand tattoo that I've been wanting for a while. Not only did the artists perfectly mesh together two different designs I wanted into one, the tattoo looked even better than what I'd imagined! Extremely professional and dedicated team.
Amazing tattoo shop! Everyone is friendly and the artist ( Jina ) did an amazing job on my back piece. Thanks so much your hard work! I am satisfied! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get any tattoos!
I had the pleasure of meeting with Jina for a tattoo consultation. She was really thorough with her approach. Jina took the time to understand my vision for my sleeve and it was overall a collaborative experience. Her suggestions brought my idea to life and I’m looking forward to the next! Staff are incredibly friendly and professional. Definitely would recommend!
Such an amazing experience from beginning to end. When I went for my consultation, I had an idea of what I wanted for a tattoo and did a terrible job explaining it. Despite that, they took my ideas and exceeded my expectations. They were professional, nice and very accommodating. The tattoo turned out beautiful and I am so in love. I will definitely be going back and recommending to others!!
Great place! The staff was so friendly and I got exactly what I asked for. They were very clean and wiped everything down and everything was sterilized. I will definitely be going back!
I never leave bad reviews but I wish I could give zero stars. This was my first and last time at Gwan Soon Lee. I called ahead and asked for a piercing change and two new earrings for my double helix and I was quoted $15 for the piercing change + price of the earrings I choose. I ended up paying $69 +tip. The owner/manager was not very nice or understanding when I explained my conversation/quote on the phone. She also imputed the wrong amount on the credit/debit machine and blamed me. The piercing artist, although quite nice, did not wash her hands (with dirty fingernails) before she put on the gloves and touched my piercing (she had just come back from having a snack outside). I will not be coming back. They just wanted money and didn’t care to make me a happy customer that would return again.
First of all: I had a medium/large piece done on my forearm, dot work, line work and shading. The piece is absolutley phenomenal. The staff were very educated, friendly, professional and overall a 10/10. I expect that all my future pieces will be done here! If youre on the fence, this is the place to go.
I recommend this place! It’s very clean and the staff are really nice, I went to get my noise piercied and she did it really quick . It didn’t even hurt at all.
Jina did a great job with my tattoo and it healed perfectly. Will definitely come back!
I came from London to get my tattoo from Gwan Soon, and I had the absolute best experience here at Gwan Soon Lee’s tattoo shop. Their hygiene standards are at its top-notch, and all their instruments that touch your body are from brand new packaging. Both Gwan Soon and Jina are well experienced artists who are incredibly talented and I got exactly what I wanted! They make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your tattoo experience. I’m definitely coming back here for my next one ????
Prices are ridiculously expensive. They charge $20 to remove a SINGLE piercing. I had three removed ( 2 earlobes and 1 rook; nothing too crazy) and they charged me $40. They took off $20 but still $40 to remove 3 piercings makes absolutely no sense. I was getting surgery the next day and had no choice but to remove it ( my fault for not planning ahead and booking elsewhere) but this was the closest place to my house. Other piercing studios charge $5 for removal per piercing which is completely reasonable. Piercer was kind but I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go elsewhere. I recommend Skintricate Tattoo company.
Best in the business! Amazing work, very professional and understanding. They make sure you are happy and 100% satisfied with the work your getting. Give you tips and ideas to make sure your getting exactly what you want. Very clean and sanitary, I went during covid so they were above and beyond to make sure everyone safe.
I love how the shop looks! It's a close and convenient location in Mississauga. The staff are friendly and professional! The tattoo I got was custom and they did an amazing job. I will be back soon to get more tattoos! Thank you ❤️
Very clean and stylish location. I got a helix piercing and my friend got two. Both of us felt almost no pain. Staff was very friendly and professional. Would go again for future piercings! Only difficulty was finding the place (it is located in an apartment building)
My friend and I went to get tattoos, it was my first and her second, and we were completely ripped off. I got a yin yang on my forearm the diameter of the base of a water bottle and they charged me $350. Unfortunately, i didnt know any …
Did my nose pierced.. Really good staff. Also maintained the clean and standards of covid restrictions.. Iwill also try to my tattoo also for sure..
The woman at the front desk (who also did the piercing) made me feel comfortable after being hella nervous about my first piercing and was patient too
Happy! I would recommend! Gwan Soon Lee was my go to for piercings! This was my first time getting a tattoo at their parlor. I have several other tattoos. My experience was excellent, they were able to accommodate a walk in that same day. Gwan Soon attention to detail with my tattoo was amazing. Booking again very shortly.
I got my tattoo done on July 29th. I got a cherry blossom on my ribs. I asked for color and they charged me 450. It was pricey but I thought it was worth it. It’s now August 26th and it’s healed without an issue. I know it’s not gonna look exactly how it did when it was first tattooed. But it looks old and the color isn’t bright enough. For the price and time it took, I’m not very satisfied with how it looks right now. Other then that the service was great and they are nice people. I just don’t know if I’ll come back. Now I have to think about spending more money to get it touched up? I don’t know:(
I went and got my rook pieced and the lady was super nice and noticed one of my other piercing was looking a bit rough and told me how to get it back to 100%! She took her time and knew what she was doing! Would 100% recommend!!
Had a very good experience here getting my lobes pierced . I called beforehand to ensure they were a properly qualified team and used proper cleansing methods, especially considering safety from COVID spread. The procedure was quick and easy. The pricing was very fair considering the quality compared to a Claire’s for example.
After calling 5 local shops that advertised "walk-ins welcome" and being turned down by all .. I called Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings and was pleasantly surprised to hear they had availability. I was welcomed by Steve who was very friendly, personable and patient. I explained I was there to get my first ever tattoos and he made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. This was a wonderful first experience and I will definitely be back. Thank you again Steve ????
I got my first tattoo here at Gwan Lee. I didn't know what to expect but Gina was truly amazing at her job. The session was about 8 hours long. The vibe and people around were great to be with so it didn't feel like I spent there all day. Will definitely come back for another one in the future!
The tattoo artist and the tattoo apprentices were so kind and welcoming! Excellent place to go for your first tattoo! :)
I highly recommend this amazing tattoo shop. Great work great results. Ask for Jina she’s the one to go too
Been going there for years getting my tattoos done and piercings.Great tattoo shop!Highly recommend!Very professional and friendly staff!
I got my helix piercing here, and I love it! Everyone was really nice, and the place is very clean and professional.
The staff were very kind and ensured that I was able to get the details of the tattoo exactly as I wanted. They ensure I was comfortable at all times
My sister and I come here anytime we want a new tattoo or piercing, every experience has been a great one. Both artists are amazing at what they do, and you definitely can't find a better shop. I highly recommend coming here.
I had a tattoo done today from Gina ... it was a mother Mary on my forearm ... and it was amazing. Thank you for the amazing work. The detail is incredible. I recommend her to everyone looking to get a realism tattoo... Thank you again, Daniel
I’ve had two tattoos done here now, amazing job!! The people are always very nice and welcoming!! Would highly recommend them!
One of the female artists did my piercing. It was simple and straightforward but she was really nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.
got my second nose piercing, everyone was so kind and the piercing was done super nicely :) will be coming back!
Made a spontaneous decision to get a tattoo I've been wanting for a very long time, and this was the only place that took me in for a walk-in while other places turned me away (even though they have walk-ins available advertised?). This was my first tattoo and I'm glad I got it with them, honestly an amazing experience, everyone was welcoming and kind, also the tattoo turned out amazing. Highly Recommend!
The artist so nice and the clinic is clean. I got amazing tattoo. Highly recommended! For sure I will come back to get another tattoo ????
Very nice receptionists and tattoo artists with professional service. Sarah was very patient and helpful with creating the final designs for both of the tattoos. Ms. Gwan Soon did an amazing job on my two wrist tattoos with minimal pain. Highly recommend :)
Jina did my first tattoo today and did such a lovely job! She was so nice and made it a super comfortable experience for me with minimal pain. The tattoo turned out great, the shop is clean, and the other individuals working there are very nice, as well. Thank you Jina, I’ll definitely be back :)
Awesome Shop, Jina is great!! She has been doing all my tattoos for the past 5 years. Great all around artist that can do everything. You are in great hands here at this shop.
This place is really great, love the vibe .... I got my ear piercing and my sis got belly piercing... it’s so good✌️
Very decent experience with Jina. Tattoo came out how I pictured it. All the staff here seem very nice . Only caveat was that the place is rather small and can get crowded.
First time getting a tattoo not too pricey a place Ide definitely recommend with amazing detail
I am more than pleased with my experience at Gwan Soon Lee. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and very professional. I had been wanting this tattoo for a really long time and let me just say, I chose the perfect shop. Ms. Gwan Soon did an outstanding job with my tattoo and I couldn't be happier with the result! I will definitely be back for more!
I’ve found my tattoo artist forever! Everyone here is amazing! Jina has been my go to for all my tattoos and she kills it every single time. She’s so sweet and everyone here is so welcoming and friendly.
I got my nose pierced today and it was an amazing experience. Right from the first phone call where they told me I could just walk in and so I did. I was in and out with in 30 minutes, the piercer was very calm and extremely nice. It didn’t hurt at all, it barley bled. The customer service was phenomenal, we were having a hard time finding parking and the gentleman came out to show us where to park. Would definitely recommend them.
Great place! Props to the staff for being such kind, welcoming people! My siblings have been going to Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings for several years now and suggested that I go get my tattoos done there as well. I was very impressed with the work Jina did with my first ever tattoo! It looks better than I ever thought it would. Not just that, but Jina did an amazing job with making me feel comfortable as it was my first tattoo and took nearly 4 hours. Jina made the experience very friendly and professional, as it should be. I will be back for more tattoos, thats for sure. I would highly recommend going to Gwan Soon Lee Tattoos & Piercings to get your tattoos done as well! Once again, thank you!
Pretty good experience. Got a piercing done. Short wait. Friendly staff. Decent prices. I didnt like the part where they wanted your address too...thats a bit much for me, but standard name and number i can understand. Other than that it was pleasant and would recommend.
Just did my 1st Tattoo and the experience is awesome. Thank you Gina for doing a great job! Can't wait for my next tattoo!
Very nice establishment. A little expensive. Friendly staff. Fantastic work.
I really recommend this place! The customer service was great and I am definitely coming back for my next tattoo! I felt very comfortable the entire time there and will be recommending this place to everyone I know!
Beautiful space. Polite staff. Reasonable pricing. Nothing but professionals. Very happy with the excellent service. Would 100% recommend.????????????????????????
They look very professional, however little bit expensive... money you spend for Saving spot is non-refundable.
I got my helix pierced, and the piercer made sure to clean the surface of my cartilage very well. No pain, and done very quickly yet efficiently. Very good experience, def gonna come back for a tattoo.
Gina is currently working on my half sleeve and I must say - she's amazing at her craft! Highly recommend to others looking to get their tattoo done. Chill environment, great vibes - what more can you ask for?!?! Looking forward to more tattoo's!
Super friendly staff and very clean and well organized service. Was able to make an appointment same day and was super quick and easy. Highly recommend !
Steven is the best tattoo artist for me and my visions. Place is amazing. Very up to date and clean. Everyone is so friendly. Cannot wait to go back
I got my first tattoo here and it was not good at all. I gave them a picture and a print of what i wanted. Instead of using what I gave them as an outline, they just traced over it with a pencil and ruined the whole thing. What I got was in arabic so obviously they did not know what to do, instead of turning me away or asking me how I wanted it, they placed their poor stencil on my arm and said it'll look better after, like the picture i gave them, but it was completely terrible. I regret every walking into this tattoo shop, they are unprofessional and unwelcoming as well. Rushing their tattoos and doing them very bad.
Had a tattoo done in July 2020. I sent photos and descriptions of what I wanted, and they designed it for me. Even better, when I arrived, they showed me 3 different designs to choose from that had been created by their apprentices, which was a nice surprise. All the designs were beautiful, and it was comforting to see how much effort they put in to it. The only caveat is that the colours do not look like the colours I requested (in terms of shade). It still looks beautiful though, so I'm not mad.
Really good service. Very clean and I love my tattoo!
We took our daughter to get a nose piercing today and the lady and her daughter were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a pericing. Awesome place thank you for all you did to to make my daughter feel comfortable today ????
I'm so glad I found this place-it's great. The first time I came in, I got a daith piercing which I contemplated on getting, but since I get so many migraines I thought I'd give it a shot- and I'm so glad I did. The daith piercing really works and my migraines greatly decreased. I decided to get my other ear done, also with a daith piercing, because I noticed I was still, occasionally, getting headaches but on the side without the daith piercing- so I'm fully confident this second piercing will completely eliminate my headaches/migraines. I've also come back to this place for more piercings and with a girlfriend of mine, who also got a daith piercing. I've recommended this place to a few of my friends, which whom have got some work done here. I found the staff quite friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Every time I come in, there's always other customers either getting a tattoo or piercing- just shows that it's a popular, experienced and trustworthy business. Overall, I've had great experiences here and proud to recommend to others.
I just got my upper arm tattoo done and the staff made the process very simple. We discussed the idea I had in mind and they created an amazing piece of work. They are very talented and skilled due to experience. There is a welcoming positive energy about them and they are interested in producing a quality tattoo that you will love. I definitely recommend giving them a call for a tattoo.
Jina at Gwan Soon Lee Tattoo is a total boss when it comes to her art! I recently sat in her chair for her to add some background to an already existing tattoo I had. She was able to create exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly. Her tattooing style is clean and she works very efficiently. Would highly recommend!
Just did a 7 hour session with Jina for a right side chest piece of a samurai helmet. I came in with the original design (a helmet my best friend designed.) she then enhanced it and added a wind bar background with some water elements (I …
I’ve been coming here over the last year and every time I leave with a smile. I have a great relationship with my artist Jina, and her work is phenomenal. She takes great care of you and I’m 10000% comfortable with her. She will definitely be my artist for the rest of my tattoo journey. THANK YOU!!!!
A great place to get inked up. The service was exceptional and the tattoo artist did her job very well. Highly recommended!!
Very very professional, highly skilled, no tattoo shop can compete with these guys and I've been to many, the staff is so respectful and for them the sky is not the limit for them to help you. Best shop in Canada, North America and possibly the world. Thank you Gwan Soon Lee for my tattoo.
Nice and friendly people and they also keep to their words ,I love their work.
Unprofessional, begs people for reviews which is the only reason they have so many good ones. Doesn't know how to do a nose piercing and doesn't stop when told. Doesn't care about clients. Please go somewhere else.
Got a hand piece done here. Its absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly, professional and overall it was a very positive experience. They work with you to make your idea become realistic, and do amazing work. Definately recommend, qnd may even come back if im back in the area.
I just got my nose pierced and the workers we so nice and it was painful at all, they also answered all of my questions and were very helpful. The piercing looks get I would highly recommend this place. It was all around a great experience.
Got my nose pierced from here and honestly i did not expect things to go so well. The staff answered all my questions and were so patient and kind towards my concerns. They were extremely friendly which really put me at ease. Also the place it self is amazing- so well lit and nice and open. The place is super aesthetically pleasing and the calm vibes are super comforting. Well lit, Well maintained, no dark rooms everything was super visible and overall it went amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The staff was also very informative which I Loved.
I am greatly disappointed and unsatisfied with this location. I would not recommend it at all. Save your money. I got a tattoo on September 13, 2021 on my forearm, by Majha. Firstly, I paid $300 while I have another complex tattoo (writing in old english which I never had to get filled in, shown in picture 4) that was just $180. I did not want the artist to mess up my tattoo therefore, I did not argue about the price. Secondly, the tattoo is still not fully filled in after 2 weeks and it is fully healed. I have been messaging and calling the tattoo parlour since last week only to be told we will get back to you, we still have to talk to our superior and have not received any response while I have been sending updated pictures of the tattoo on instagram. I am well aware of the healing process and have not touched the tattoo unless I was applying lotion. On the first picture, a week after, the ink started to peel on the left side by itself, the parlour told me I need to stop picking at it and thats why the colour is being ruined. lol. I would mention I have not touched it and tattoos start peeling themselves by the end of the first week. Regardless to say, the right side of the tattoo did not peel as quickly and I can still see my skin within the tattoo, I can see my skin in the tattoo from almost every portion of the tattoo (not being filled in properly). Thirdly, Majha told me that in order for the tattoo to be filled, I will be charged $40 for just parts of it, resulting in another $300 or plus just to get the tattoo filled while the job was not done right the first time. I know artist that would want to fill in the tattoo right away without charging because its their work and reputation. There is no sense of pride from this location, they just want your money. I will not return to this location and will get the tattoo filled in by a trusted artist. Save your money. Go to someone you can trust and an individual that will make sure you are satisfied. I was always told, if you find a good artist stick with them and I have learned this the hard way. The reason I went to this parlour was because of the good reviews, I was clearly fooled, hope it doesn't happen to someone else. First pic is week after, September 20. Second pic is September 23. Third pic is two weeks after, September 27. Fourth picture is my other tattoo which is just for proof or reference that this is how a properly filled in tattoo should look, It also looks better than a tattoo I got two weeks ago lol. (I got this tattoo in 2019 from INK SESSION in Ottawa, Awesome place) Last two pics are of the instagram conversation that I did not get a response to.
Recently had a large shoulder/chest/back piece done with Jina. She is an amazing artist and her attention to detail was fabulous. Wanted to thank everyone in the shop for making my 4 session experience so wonderful! Looking forward to working with Jina on the next piece. The tattoo turned out amazing and I would recommend anyone who is thinking of getting a tattoo, to drop by the shop for a consult.
I am using my sisters google to write because I don’t have gmail.I got a tattoo on my right thigh/hip if flowers and absolutely loved it! My first tattoo ever and amazing experience!!!❤️❤️
Came here for a piercing. Super friendly staff, place was very clean. Will definitely be coming back.
Came with a friend to get small tattoos and ear piercings and had a great experience. Staff was very professional & knowledgeable, welcomed us right away and made great suggestions. I had the liberty to get tattooed by Gwan Soon herself, it came out very clean and exactly how I pictured it. Overall, great experience, will recommend & come back in the future!
Super friendly people working! They make you feel very welcomed :) not to mention they are very very clean!
Got my second tattoo here and it was amazing! Everything about it was perfect. Very friendly staff and fantastic work! Would recommend!!!
I had both of my tattoos done here. Wonderful tattoo experience. Highly recommended.
Loved the atmosphere. Very professional. I love my new tattoo. They’re a bit on the pricey side but I’m not one to complain about people’s prices for the services they provide.
POOR!! Save your money! I got a nose piercing a week ago and the first red flag was when I called, the lady was talking over me on the phone. The second red flag was the girl who did my nose piercing had attitude and no advise compare to her other clients who were not black (seems racist to me). Thirdly my nose ring sank into my piercing and when I return to get it check the OWNER told me the girl who pierced my nose should have used a bigger nose ring and that I would have to pay to get it correct or fix. NO WAY I was about to pay for something that they did wrong.
Got my first tattoo done here earlier this year and it was a great experience. Jina was very accommodating with the design and it came out exactly how I wanted. Thanks Jina!
I was looking for a new shop as I moved to Sauga and ended up here after reading the reviews and taking look at there work. It is located in the heart of downtown sauga and only 5 mins away from where I have moved to. Shoutout to Gwan for taking me last minute and giving me two tattoos on the back of my neck exactly where and how I wanted them. I plan to make other visits to the shop from now on.
I got my piercings done here and they were amazing! Gina was super nice and she got my piercings done so quickly I couldn't even feel any of the pain. I will definitely go back for more!
First time using this tattoo studio very clean, staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Tattoo artist (Jina) did a fantastic job using her own creative skills and captured exactly what I was looking for. Already planning my next tattoo and going back to see Jina!
I had such an amazing experience here. Very clean, professional, and welcoming. Sarah made me feel very comfortable, was friendly, and did an amazing job with my tattoo. I am definitely coming back !
I’m in love with my tattoo, the place is very clean, the staff are amazing, helpful and kind. They use great tools and ink my tattoo hasn’t really scabbed at all, my skin just peeled, which is amazing! It’s also nice that the staff reads carefully through all the reviews. There was misunderstanding between me and them and they called right away to sort it out. To me that’s great customer service. Definitely recommend!
i honestly really liked the idea of my tattoo and thought it was really cute when i first got it. as it's healed i realized there are so many errors and i've come to feel really ashamed about it. for an artists that's supposedly been tattooing for a long time, they don't do great work. especially for something as simple as tracing lettering. my letters aren't the same size and are consistently very shaky. adding onto this, their socials are really misleading! i wouldn't recommend getting anything from here. edit: adding onto this review because i realized that the shop is trying to act like i'm not a customer even though i have emails from them and pictures from their socials to prove i was here about three weeks ago. honestly just lost respect for the place, just accept you make mistakes. i noticed they have posted this comment under other bad reviews and it's hilarious because just take responsibility for your work. this is the email i used to book my tattoo, how do you have no record of me as a customer? they only post one artists work on the instagram, everyone else only gets features on the ig story. i wonder why? my tattoo looks a lot worse as it's healed, as if it was written by a child. not to mention, the girl said they usually charge for touch ups. so you give me a crooked tattoo and then want me to pay more for you to f it up even more? interesting. honestly weak. just own your mistakes.
I had my first tattoo from them and its really appreciative. They did a brilliant job and I also had great experience. Staff is very friendly and environment is too good.
Love love love. I only come here to get my tats and after number 5, I am never disappointed. Highly recommend :) can't wait to come back!
Two of us came in for small tattoos today and the whole experience was great! Wonderful service, and fantastic results - the linework looks amazing. Would definitely return!
Came here today to get a tattoo done that I’ve been thinking about for a really long time. So grateful I stumbled upon this place. The shop was very clean, and the staff are highly professional and was able to make adjustments to ideas you have to ensure you get exactly what they ask for. Gwan Soon Lee did my tattoo and I’m so pleased with the results. I love my tattoo and I’ll definitely come back here again! Thank you so much!!
It was my first tattoo and they made me feel so comfortable!! I was really nervous and they talked to me through the whole session (I was so distracted that I didn’t even feel the tattoo gun) I’m so glad I came here and was able to share my first experience with them. I’m very impressed on their punctuality, and how well they are handling the pandemic!
Great shop great service, very skilled artist
Over charged me. Artists were very rude. Charged $350 for a 2x2 font tattoo. Since I already made a deposit I was forced to get it. Never coming back. They even beg you to write a good review. So I’m sure most of the good reviews are fake
READ: I posted my positive review before even leaving the shop. As they asked me and my wife too, it was very awkward.. We ended up coming back as the paw print my wife got on her arm, which we used her service dog to stamp.. is NOTHING. Like the real thing. She MADE UP a paw print.. and almost all of the color ink came out before it was healed. And LEFT BEHIND SCAR TISSUE. DO NOT TRUST THE OLDER WOMAN. I can not speak for the younger lady...but the older woman who works there will lie to your face and pretend to understand what you want..but probably can't understand what you're saying.... And she is BRUTAL. With a needle.
Jina did an amazing job on my rose sleeve tattoo. I couldn't be any happier with how it ended up. She was super fast with the whole process and in the end it looked absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to go back for my future tatts.
Had my first ever body piercing here and had a very pleasant experience. Firstly the place is aesthetically pleasing - not your typical tattoo parlour. Is bright and classy looking. Secondly it’s immaculately clean. The staff are super nice and extremely professional. Highly recommend!!
Best shop in Mississauga, if you are in the SquareOne area and are looking for a new piercing or tattoo piece then look no further !
My friend and I came last September for tattoos and were given an apprentice. Were both disappointed with the results. Both tattoos were fading the same week. Pictures attached are how they currently look. Payed $90 for butterflies and $80 for the date. UPDATE: The artist fixed both tattoos without charge and compensated for the previous work. She is no longer an apprentice, now a full time artist and was very kind and apologetic towards us.
