That is one amazing place to get tattooed! Love the location, love the ambience and also the cleanliness. I got my tattoo from Gianina and she showed great dedication. She let me take my time with deciding as it was my first tattoo! Definitely recommend eyes closed!!

Got my tat here as it was recommended by a friend. I went to have it done and Sasha is a very great artist to work with. She is patient and very artistic, she was able to suggest ideas that I didnt know would help make my piece pop out even further. Amazing shop, great atmosphere and I highly recommend this place.

Hayden does not reply to clients from his past tattoo shop location. Left me with an unfinished tattoo despite multiple contact attempts.

What an incredible experience with Hayden. After speaking with Hayden on Instagram for a while, we finally booked a date via Deposit on an incredibly dope realism piece. He was incredibly patient with me on instagram with quoting and sharing ideas. The shop on the outside didn't look too good but as soon as you enter, it is an incredible vibe. From the decor, to the water and snacks in the lobby, to the incredible service. It was top notch. Then, when you enter the studio, it's a whole other world! Bright and beautiful and clean with mirrors so you can see the work! Hayden did an incredible job and I am extremely happy with the piece. It was an 8 hour project and he was extremely patient with me on placement. I've had 20 tattoos and this was by far the most painful but still an incredible expreience. Will be coming back. As soon as i left, I received an email about a 20$ gift card to use for my next ink!

Ink & Water has a reputation for being the best of the best, and truly lives up to it. I found my artist, Ola, on Instagram and waited what seemed like forever for her books to open (it was only a couple of months, but when you know you know). I jumped at the chance to have such a talented artist for my first piece. The shop itself was a little challenging to find. Since the signage hasn't been updated, I wondered if I was at the right place.... Walking in though, you know. Whoever was the concept designer for the shop - major kudos to you. You walk in to what looks like a street market at night, it's dark and has that old school grunge feel. Even the front of the shop is meticulously maintained, just spotless. Huge plus that the water comes in tetra packs. Such a small change to help save our environment! Walking to the back of the shop, you'll notice how drastic the change is from the front of the shop to the back. I was tattooed mid day, and walking back was like walking into a neon cathedral. White walls, concrete floors and massive sloping white lights on the ceiling, it was truly gorgeous. Definitely calming. Front desk was kind and patient while I took ages to sign in (nerves), as well as when I was asking questions about a design for my husband afterwards. I would recommend this shop to everyone.

I patiently waited and finally got my tattoo with the queen herself!!!!! ISIS is so amazing!!! She designed this tattoo from couple of concepts I gave her prior and let me tell ya it is the MOST BEAUTIFUL piece I have on my body. What a talented woman I still can’t get over it!!! She was very kind, accommodating and professional. Made all changes I requested quickly and adjusted the design up until it was time to put it on me. Tattoo was done beautifully and Isis was so sweet and careful the whole time. She made me feel very well taken care of. Everyone at the store was very friendly as well. Clean and professional environment as well. I went after working nights and she made sure I was comfortable at all times. I am still In awe couple of days later and can’t stop showing off ☺️???????? I’ve gotten so many compliments on her work already!!! When you see talent you know it! Overall I would 100% recommend trusting ISIS at Ink & Water with your next artwork. Great experience and can’t wait to work with her again. I think Isis is gonna be my only artist from now on tbh she was fabulous ???????? Thank you Isis✨

Jordan Manley

Great, friendly staff! Very accommodating, and the artists give great advice/recommendations. I highly recommend Rye!

This location is probably their best location yet! The design of the space is so cool! They have a garage door at the back of the room. If you enter the building from the back door, you won't have anyone there to help you, but if you walk through the front door, it feels like you have walked into another dimension. You have to go through the front door to get assistance with your appointment. It doesn't feel like you have walked into ink & water, but you're in the right place. I arrived 2 hours early to an appointment and they were able to fit me in earlier than I was expecting. Definitely my favourite tattoo shop I have been to. Their tools and materials are premium as well. I have never had a tattoo heal as good as the tattoos I've gotten from here.

Majority of the artists are good at there jobs and create beautiful tattoos, My mom and I went , and had a mediocre experience, wouldn’t go back to this location again or the female artist that did our tattoos. The bloor st location is WAY BETTER. The two women that worked the front desk were amazing and deserve to be tattooing people!

Karan Jiandani

I had gotten the full back of my forearm done by Hayden at the Mavis Road location. He was very helpful in creating the design and working with me. It was a very long tattoo, however we took ample breaks, and the process was smooth. The facility is sweet and easy to find and overall it was a great experience. The tattoo came out amazing and I can't wait to be back - thank you!

Jimy Mete

I went in to ask for a quote and I was amazed at how the place looks it's amazing!!

Peter Do

The shop's by the back of the plaza. Great artists and staff!! Really cool vibes right when you walk in, and their front desk area also doubles as a convenience store.

Mathieu Paquet-Beaudry

I want to thank Isis for my tattoo, she was honestly the best. She was very skillful and very helpful for the design. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. She has a superb energy and would definitely recommend to any of my friends.

Lise Clayton

Talented, friendly and amazing artists. Picsola's work is precise and incredible!!

Stephen Worton

Got a custom piece done here! Am very happy with it! Mia did a wonderful job bringing to life my ideas and was also very professional.

Had a fantastic experience here getting a new tattoo done. The studio is super cool and well kept and everyone I interacted with was so nice and professional. Sasha is an AMAZING artist and I'd highly recommend her—she took my vague and mismatched ideas and turned out a stellar tattoo.

Rey Karim

Wicked design and space. Great people and even better tattoos

Ashley Burke

Probably the friendliest, and most welcoming tattoo shop I’ve ever been to! I would highly recommend this tattoo shop. I went to Ink & Water to have a tattoo done by Rye. I got a sternum tattoo done, and Rye was so professional, always made sure that I was comfortable and talked me through the whole process. He also answered any questions that I had very openly, and I could tell that he really cared about my experience. I will definitely be going back in the future, and am looking forward to it!

Julia Stephens

Meg did my boyfriend and my tattoo a while back and I cannot he happier. The experience was great and the vibe was awesome

Anthony Ferg

Bunch of pretentious bullies! Had an appointment booked for myself and 2 other friends for matching sentimental tattoos. Upon walking in, we were ignored by every single person/ artist in there! We waited and waited and finally asked the gentleman what we should do and where the consent forms were. He went ahead and told us, we dont have times for walk ins, call the shop and set the appointment. We then proceeded to tell him we had an appointment booked for today and that we were 5 mins early. He then literally looked at us, sighed and then walked towards the back ignoring us! Our experience was so unacceptable we as a group decide we cannot support a brand like this so we left! Stay away from this location! Go to their downtown one or just simply find somewhere else!
