Amazing places to get your tattoos or piercings done! The staff is amazing and really pays attention to detail.
Always such a positive experience. Great friendly and knowledgable staff. Incredibly clean facility and practices. 10/10 recommend and will always go back to this shop.
Went during the summer and everyone was really polite and actually kept up with good conversation!!! I'm still happy with the tattoos I got and will be going back soon to get more done!!
Alex is a badass and wicked artist
I had a great time getting a second lobe piercing at steel n ink Collingwood, I had a very enjoyable experience, Sab did a great job, and talked me through the entire thing, letting me know what was going on at all times, and answered all of my questions. Staff were very friendly, and there was a great jewelry selection 10/10 will go again!
Really great people. Im very happy with the results.
Little on the bitter side considering I called ahead to get a small tattoo. Told me to come shortly after 5 which I did to be told that they couldn’t do it first come first serve. When I called I had informed them I had been coming from Owen Sound. So not impressed.
Branden did my first and second tats was perfect ????????????
Got a nose piercing done by Brock today. He was super chill and talked to me throughout the entire process. He was super nice and I was super relaxed because of his kind attitude! He also took me through the sanitation and healing period for my piercing. Would recommend!
Super clean and welcoming place! I have a few friends and my boyfriend comes here and has Tito do all the art and he is incredible!!
Brock is amazing. Had a super great experience! He was super nice and took rly good care of me. I recommend him to everyone!
Went to Steel n Ink today in Barrie, and got my first tattoo! I was a walk in & hadn't booked an appointment, but was met right away and asked what I wanted tattooed. The atmosphere was super relaxed and clean, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Once the tattoo process began, Tito made me feel very comfortable and showed me all the products he would be using. I would recommend Steel n Ink to anyone, especially if you're getting your first tattoo & nervous like I was! My experience was 10/10. Can't wait to come back for my next tattoo ☺️
Thank you Mark for your fabulous work. In the future also I would like to choose you only for tattoo designing.
I was extremely impressed with the chill environment, friendly staff and the amazing art work. Brought my son in for his first tattoo and the staff were awesome. I am so looking forward to getting my own done in the near future.
Went in and got Brock - professional, quick, easy & painless! Place was also super clean and tidy.
Great experience getting my piercings done here, would recommend 100%.
Went in a couple years ago for a walk in. Very friendly and great work! I was able to find a cute bee in one of the flash books and had it done within the hour. It has to be one of my most complimented tattoos also!
So amazing. I came in almost at closing because I realized my tattoo I had gotten earlier that day had an extra word and was basically ruined. And in my hysterics they kept the shop open past closing to give me a last minute coverup. They saved my memorial tattoo and I am forever thankful for that. So kind.
Loved it
Wonderful job Karl
Got my nose and daith piercings here, super pleased with the professionalism and care taken. Beautiful, clean shop. Will be returning.
Got my septum pierced by Brock and he was great! The piercing is pierced perfectly straight and looks great. The shop is extremely clean and well kept. He showed me that everything was sterilized before he pierced me. He's very knowledgeable in what he does and I will be going back to see him
Kinda expensive, but worth it, its a very clean, welcoming environment and the staff are really nice. Unlike some other piercing places I've been to that are just scary, and have sketchy vibes. Definitely recommend steal and ink.
Awesome experience today. Polite, friendly, very knowledgeable. I would recommend Brock for all of your piercing needs. Thank you so much
This place was amazing! I went right when they opened after Covid and they were very safe and clean! I got my tattoo done by jordyn and she was amazing! I’ve gotten 2 tattoos done by here and both times i’ve been very please! The staff was friendly and it was a great experience!
Great experience with Tara and Brock tonight! Professional and comfortable environment.
I had Tito tattoo a forest landscape on me. Tito is a phenomenal artist and a great guy, with the softest hands in the business. No pain, no discomfort, just a great tattoo. The shop is modern, well kept and the entire staff is very nice. I will definitely be getting my future tattoos here and I’d recommend you do the same. 10/10
I literally just got home from getting my tattoo done (3pm lol) but I couldn't wait to write a review so HERE YA GO. My artist was Tara and oh my goodness she was so kind, very knowledgable, and honestly very light handed! Her work is gorgeous and her personality is lovely :) As well, the entire group of artists working there gave off such good vibes. I had a tattoo done over a year ago by Tito and honestly I could say the same for that time as well. 100% COVID-19 protocol approved so you'll definitely be visiting a safe and clean business. Please do support this tattoo studio. It's really high quality art and high quality people!
The staff at Steel n Ink are always very kind and knowledgeable when ever I go in. Very clean and sterile environment with a lot of beautiful jewelery.
I've heard nothing but good things about Steel and Ink and plan to have my next piece done here!!
Brock did a amazing job on my Cartledge piercing, supper cool dude and knows what he talkin about. Will definitely go back for my next one.
Great customer service, Justin was awesome helping me out today!
Went in for a coverup rescue with Mark. First session was amazing and the improvement is night and day, I can't wait to come back to finish it. Was on time and very friendly, absolutely loving the work! <3
I haven't had any work done here, but have seen some of the work and would love to get the chance to get some done!
They charged me to much for a piercing and no aftercare sheet just told me to rinse with yellow listerne diluted with water. The only thing I liked was the jewelry.
I’m so glad Steel Ink is open now. Even with COVID measures in place. So clean, professional, on time, and great to deal with. I’ll be coming back soon for more!
Amazing place to be and great people
Went and got an industrial piercing. VERY nice people! Quick service,they answered all of my questions honestly, set me up with after care and everything. I am definitely going back to get Another piercing and a new tattoo! The steel they used was amazing, i usually take a reaction to the steel used at other shops. The piercer was a nice guy and walked me through the whole process (which is better then silence and awkwardness). Very clean inside and love the way its set up with art work around and a display case to look at as you wait! I was very pleased with this place! 6/5 stars forsure!
Great people doing great work!
Really satisfied with the tattoo I got here!
Very clean and professional shop
I got 3 piercings done here, the actual piercing was ok, however they didn’t ask me before doing the piercing if I liked the placement, so it is way too close to my other piercing then I wanted. I also got WAY overcharged for the jewelry I picked. I felt a little off about the price so I checked online and it was almost $100 less then what I was charged for it
I've had a peircing and a tattoo at this shop and had an amazing experience both times I was there! I don't remember the peircers name but he was very professional and made me feel very comfortable! Tito did my tattoo and he did a phenomenal job, I came in for the consultation with only a rough idea and my very terrible hand drawn picture of what I wanted and he took that and did an amazing job with it! The entire tattoo experience was awesome, he was very professional and a great conversationalist! So pleased with this shop, would 100% come back!
I have had 2 tattoos done here and I've been in LOVE with each one! Amazing detail and line work, I would highly recommend!! Definitely want to go back for my next one :D
Great studio!! I came in for body piercing and I felt safe, at ease, and confident. Justin did an excellent job
I just walked in for a tattoo, no appointment, and MIGHT I JUST SAY that this was THE BEST experience. I'm sooo picky and bossy and WOW the artist Mark did AN AMAZING JOB. Like...hands down he nailed everything I wanted and his lines are super clean and straight and WOW I'm still so speechless!!!! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH Steel n Ink Barrie. You guys are the best and MARK IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Artist did really good job on my wifes arm. Store is clean and staff are friendly there prices are good to I recommend going here for your tattoos
Had a great experience. I got my first tattoo here, and I'd recommend this place to everyone and anyone! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome place and staff :)
Incredible line work and artistry!! Love this place!!
All their images look amazing of both ink and piercings. Looking forward to a future visit
Brock and Danielle are the bestest. They’re very friendly and have an amazing sense of humour. The only place I will go for piercings or tattoos. I love ya’ll
Today i got from jordyn . She was very nyc. I will recommend everyone to make tatto from her. I wass little nervous she made me comfortable made it very nicely ???????? Thank you
The staff are amazing and very helpful. The artists do wonderful work, Carl did an amazing job on both of the tattoos he gave. Highly recommend them.
I had a weird experience at the location in Newmarket but I don't see it on Google maps yet. I got a conch piercing here and the piercer used a ring that was way too small. I wasn't educated about it at the time but after a couple google searches I learned that most reputable piercers do not pierce this with a ring because it's harder to heal and ESPECIALLY not with a ring as tight as the one I got. It hurt so badly I had to remove it. I have had many ear piercings before, and a nostril piercing at other places and I have never experienced such pain. It was very frustrating as I thought this was a good place to get pierced. The piercer also didn't communicate well at all. I thought he was marking my ear and next thing I knew he was already pushing the needle through. Every other piercing I have had, the piercer communicated to me what was happening and gave me a warning. I will not be returning :/ Yikes. Edit: I still gave 2 stars because there is a large selection of jewelry and the pricing was reasonable.
Absolutely fantastic place!! The guys were great and it was a great price! They did a fantastic job on my rook piercing will recommend this place to anyone (barrie location)
My friend phoned ahead as we live out of town and she was told that they would have space available after 5pm. Once we got there shortly after 5pm she was turned away. The tattoo she wanted was 4 small shadow bats and would not have taken alot of time. The man whom spoke to her once we arrived was very short with her. This is the second time we have ran into a problem with customer service at a Steel n ink shop. They may do okay tattoos but they lack in service skills and plain manners. I do not want a discount.
Loved it. Tara was fantastic very professional did my wife and I both this afternoon. She was patient and extremely polite. The shop was clean and everyone there were amazing and helpful. Thank you Brock for the piercing she loves her new marilyn.
Brock is the best piercer in town he's super nice and highly skilled!! Plus on Wednesdays they have the 30$ + jewelry cost which is great!!
I went in for my first tattoo and i went to see mark. guys friendly enough but was very shy. I ended up asking all the questions and im not a very outgoing person at all. mark was very cleanly but i think thats the only positive thing i can say. the guy that cashed me out was rude, had theyre product on the counter and he looked at me and said "really?". they didnt explain very well how to treat it. i payed $150 for an incredibly small/simple tattoo, that took 15 minutes to pen. dont recommend for first timers.
I loved the work, and service I got tattooed from Tara Lloyd at Steel and Ink. Not only was she very friendly, clean, and professional, her work is beautiful and crisp. She did a half sleeve of peonies on me, and I love them. Shading is SPOT ON, I’ve gotten so many compliments on the shading, and the lines are so crisp, and I got EXACTLY what I wanted for my half sleeve, not was professional but also punctual, we got the tattoo done in good time, and for a fantastic price. Couldn’t be more happier and I will always recommend Tara to people I know and will rep her work to those who ask. Everyone I spoke to at Steel and Ink were also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will keep coming back.
Unbelievable experience at steel n ink Barrie! Such an amazing atmosphere there, since they’ve opened up their location in Barrie my wife and I have gone there ever since. The shop is always spotless and every artist and piercer are true professionals
My sister and I were in today and loved the relaxed and clean atmosphere! We would both highly recommend having your tattoos done here (Barrie location) I will be going back to have a cover up done! Very impressed!
Piercer Justin: (fantastic!) I was very nervous about getting my pierced, not only did Justin do an amazing job he was professional and kind. He made the experience incredibly positive and helped me every step of the way. He walked me through cleaning, questions and piercing. Justin was able to help me through all of it, and did it with compassion! I will go back to him and recommend him to anyone. Thank you Justin!!!
I had belly piercing on October23,2018 after that it was infected till middle of december and the main thing is i had piercing on wednesday after that he took 129.11$ for velly pircing and then just about 2 days ago had talk with my friend who suggested me for this place and after that i really felt just because i am an international he charged me extra money. If you are an international I didn't prefer you this place. Even more their response are really rude.
Very professional, highly talented artists and always very accommodating
Got two coloured pieces on the back of my calves by David Neuen (davidneuentattoo on Instagram) and honestly couldn't be happier with it! David did an amazing job. Overall, would highly recommend this place for either a tattoo or piercing. It's a great environment & even better employees!
Amazing artists with very amazing minds/ideas. They deliver on what the client wants and always give a really amazing experience.
Excellent piercers in an immaculate facility!
Got my bellybutton pierced by Brock and he was friendly, clean and knew what he was doing. Highly suggest him!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff!! Feel like family ????
Amazing first tattoo experience done by Jordyn Greer. I was super comfortable the entire time. Would 100% go back for another one :))
I love coming to a Steel n' ink location when im traveling! Everywhere I go its the same quality, professionalism, and cleanliness. 10/10 do recommend!
They most certainly could use better customer service. sheesh! However the tattooist did a fine job on my daughter's tattoo! My rating is based purely on the customer service we recieved from chicky on our walk in this afternoon ???? hope she has a better week though ????
Their shop is nice and clean, and Justin took the time to walk me through anything I had questions about. It was a quick process.
I've had 3 tattoos done by Tara and a piercing as well. Tara is a fantastic artist and I love my tattoos, as well as my piercing!!
Brock is a gem!! I've been in a couple times for some help with old, tricky piercings (web) and he's been extremely helpful. He's very knowledgable and has a lot of experience. Great guy to chat with, too! Safe to say I've found my new piercer in Barrie - would highly recommend!
This team is genuinely amazing! I was having a terrible reaction to jewelry that I got at another salon, and these guys got me all fixed up and were so helpful!!! Within two days my ear was back to normal! If you haven’t been in to seem them - you are truly missing out!!!
It was my first time around the block today, and I got to say it was a great experience. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. MARK was great, very professional, he did a great job. 100% I will be going back to these guys. Great place to go get some art put on your body! Cheers .
Very clean and comfortable environment. All staff are very kind. I had a great experience getting my belly button and nose pierced here.
Very clean and comfortable environment. All staff are very kind. I had a great experience getting my belly button and nose pierced here.
Walked in today and was met with several awesome artists. Got a live, love, laugh, and butterfly tatoo on my wrist be Scottie. Awesome job, awesome guy. Love the atmosphere and the treatment I received second to none. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I got my first tattoo here, and the staff was amazing! They helped me nail down the perfect design and explained everything throughly. Scotty was my artist, he rocked! Also the place was super clean and sterile . I highly recommend anyone to go here , especially a first timer like myself:)
I when there om Friday too get a tattoo on my ribs, I had David as my tattooes and he was great. He made sure I was relaxed and at easy. He was very fast and I barley felt anything.
I went in to see Brock several times while I was having trouble with my second lobe piercings (done elsewhere). He did a phenomenal job, was very attentive, and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to get a piercing.
Booked a tattoo consultation with a $100 deposit. Cancelled it a couple of weeks later and refused to give the deposit back yet I didn't sign any papers and the guy is like that's how it is. Said I paid for the drawing of the tattoo and yet have never received it.
I recently got my cartilage pierced by Brock at this shop. It was an easy and quick process and importantly was not painful. But mostly Brock made my friends and I feel very comfortable in the environment before getting our piercings done. Great place and would highly recommend.
Currently in the process of getting a sleeve done by David Neuen at the Collingwood location. I couldn’t be more happy with his work and during my visits it’s always a bunch of laughs with everyone who works there
Have had a few tattoos done at this location when Dave worked there and Brock has done many of my piercings! Always a good time and great service! Would recommend ????
Brock was quick and clean. Very happy with the results.
Great shop, manager/piercer was amazing and friendly and knowledgeable. Only concern is parking, it's a very small lot for a few shops.
Was told 3 different prices for my script tattoo. Shop went with the highest price naturally. Ended up being the smallest tattoo on my body and the most expensive. Only one friendly person in the entire shop. Know someone who went a month ago and didn’t pay tax. Guess it all depends on who you ask. Won’t be returning.
Brock was friendly and made me feel at ease ... he even stayed late to accommodate me (thank you!). I would definitely recommend him :)
a great experience! i had a large piece done by tara over 6 or 7 sessions. her art work and tattoo work were more than i had hoped for. i highly recommend tara and steel n ink.
Very professional and clean... and Tito kills it every time
Dan did an amazing job on my tragus piercing. He made the whole experience better and I would absolutely recommended him for your pirecings!
Fantastic experience with Scotty! Thanks so much for the beautiful piece of art, I look forward to adding some more to it soon ♥️
Brock is a chill easygoing dude does great work highly recommend
I’ve had many piercings in the past before coming here. The studio itself is clean and has a nice atmosphere. Brock has pierced my tragus and helix and you can tell he knows his stuff. Great placement, great personality/customer service. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Side note: do yourself a favour and splurge on jewellery so you don’t have to spend more getting it re-pierced later. They have a great selection of solid gold pieces!
I have had a couple tattoos done by Tito at this location (who has now moved to the new Don Mills location), with nothing less than perfect results each time. Similarly, I have had three piercings done by Brock, again with nothing less than perfect results each time. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional, clean, and comfortable environment for getting their tattoos and piercings!
brock was amazing!! very gentle and i love my piercing!!
sweet shop, online booking was easy.
I got an inner bicep tattoo 3 years ago here and having nothing but good things to say! The atmosphere is super chill and clean (not sketchy) and they were super helpful to get the sizing right. Very professional and 3 years later my tattoo still looks brand new! I would come back for another tattoo!
I have got both my peices at steel and ink from Tito and have been astonished both times. The shop is a good atmosphere that has some of the most talented artists in barrie. I'll definitely be back for more!
I’ve been going to Brock for my piercings for about 15 years. He’s done many over the years from standard, surface, and microdermal; all have healed without any issues. I love this place because they offer way more high end jewelry options than a lot of other places. The space itself is super clean and the staff are amazing!
Tattoo artist Aruna, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ deserves more than 5 stars. absolutely amazing, was very gentle. would definitely recommend Steel n Ink for both piercings and tattoos
Awesome first script tattoo from Scotty! Will be back to add to it!
I had a tattoo done today with Aruna. She was amazing! Knowledgeable, gentle, talented and a joy to talk to. She made the tattoo experience painless and fun! Her design was so cute and I am so happy with the final result. The price of the …
Had my standard lobe pierced here today with Brock. Glad to have them re-pierced after they closed over years ago. Brock was friendly, knows what he is doing and instructed me with aftercare. The whole process was very quick and for the most part painless! I will recommend friends to come here for piercing needs! Brock rocks lmfao
Had Brock as my peircer and he was great! Explained everything and did it painlessly!
Super clean, professional place ! Will definitely be back!
Brock is the most amazing peircer I've ever met! Super Profesional and walks you through everything so you know exactly what's going to happen. Everything is so clean and well set up. I've been going there for 3 years and I won't ever go to anyone else, I 100 percent recommend him to anyone!
Brock performed nose piercings on my teenage girls today and was very professional and put the girls at ease with his humor. The location on Bayfield street is beautifully decorated, clean, with a lot of great choices for piercings. I highly recommend checking them out for the services they offer.
Went in to get a body piercing, Justin was relaxed and very professional, and he made me feel like I was in safe clean hands. He did a great job at dealing with several customers at a time, as well as on the phone. 10/10 customer service, the man deserves a raise in my opinion. I hated having to go in alone due to covid, I really wanted a hand to hold lol. But I was in the chair for I think a total of 6 minutes! Quick and - well a little painful but to be expected. I will be recommending this place to friends. Thank you for today!
I got my nose pierced on Saturday with Justin and he was great! Super friendly and professional guy who answered all my silly questions ☺️ he did a great job and my piercing looks like it’s always been there! No redness or problems at all. 10/10 would get pierced here again.
Loved how clean it was. Went in to support my friend's first tattoo. Artist did an amazing job and was knowledgeable and friendly
Went there to get my fourth piercing and Brock did an awesome job. Definitely would recommend, they also do super awesome tattoos! A great place
Such a positive experience. Great atmosphere and service. I will be back.
Brock did a amazing job on my Cartledge piercing, supper cool dude and knows what he talkin about. Will definitely go back for my next one.
Clean and safe place to get a tattoo... Thanks David!
My daughter and her friend both had their cartridge pierced and they BOTH got infected!!!! They had it done a while ago and it just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm gonna make my daughter go see a doctor but I am worried that unsanitary products could've been used. ????
Thanks for the help with getting some new jewelry into my half closed piercings
Steel 'n' Ink is the best tattoo & piercing shop I've ever had the pleasure to discover. The staff is relaxed, courteous & eager to make your tattoo & piercing experience a great one! They are all very experienced & will answer any questions or concerns you might have. The shop itself is very clean & they use only the most sterile tools. They also have a wide array of piercings and paintings you could buy. I would recommend this shop for anyone looking for a piercing or tattoo. A great place to get your very first piercing or tattoo! You will be 100% satisfied.
The staff at Steel n Ink are always very kind and knowledgeable when ever I go in. Very clean and sterile environment with a lot of beautiful jewelery.
I’ve gotten four tattoos by two different artists at this shop and they’ve all been wonderful. My go to always. Everyone is kind and incredibly talented.
Best tattoo shop in Barrie! Their crew members replied immediately through text message, and my tattoo was completed in less than an hour. Mark is an excellent tattoo artist who is extremely professional and gives you precisely what you desire.
Went to steel n ink one day after class with a few friends and got greeted by the friendliest and a very professional crew, came back a few weeks later and got Tito to do an amazing tattoo that means the world to me, since then I haven’t gotten a tattoo from another shop steel n ink is awesome at what they do. Even better now is that the new location at Don Mills is much closer to my house.
Awesome place! Super clean too. The staff is great and did an awesome job when I got my piercing done 10/10 would definitely recommend
People are very friendly here! Always had s good experience! Great artists!
I got my nose done at the Barrie location Brock is the best ever!
Never been but have seen amazing result come out of this shop! Hope I get the opportunity to experience it first hand.
Working on my sleeve with Jordyn. she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed! Took good care of me and always made sure i was alright. Beautiful artist as well. Happy to be working on my sleeve with her!!!
Nothing but great things to say. Very talented artists. My sisters are both getting their tattoos done by Tito. Both are coming along very nicely.
unfortunately went to this location to get my third lobe piercings. not only was it extremely over priced ($200 later for basic lobe piercings), but my piercings are COMPLETELY crooked; they are not lined up with my first and second holes and look very noticeably misplaced (as pointed out by everyone i have shown). very very unhappy with the outcome. not only this, but i was also not greeted until 25 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. i stood waiting at the front door for 25 minutes until a staff member finally came and decided to greet me. not a good experience overall and will not be returning.
Tito did an amazing job, very patient and kind
Brook was very friendly and proffesional. I had a nose piercing done.
Clean and comfortable. Got my piercing here and the staff was awesome. Will certainly come back for my tattoo!
I got my bellybutton pierced today with Brock and he did amazing. It was quick and clean with little to no pain. I highly suggest!
I recently got a tattoo done by Mark and it was amazing
I got my nose pierced here and it healed with no issues! The staff are very professional and clean. Will definitely be going back to get more piercings and tattoos in the future! :) Thank you:)
I would NEVER book anything with this place after the experience i just had , i had and appointment booked for about a week and a half to get my fathers finger print done , the day before my appointment i received a call from Justin to confirm my appointment and i confirmed , so the next day i drove over 3 hours to Barrie only to be told that they had taken a walk in and that i would have to wait an additional 2 hours , bottom line NO CLASS , and appointments dont matter , this drive cost me as much as the tat would have , NEVER NEVER book here , walk ins mean more than you booking a certain time ( only a 1 star becacuse i have to give it a star )
Nice clean professional shop. Very welcoming and helpful from booking, to designing, to finish product! Big shout out to Tito who did an amazing job and was very easy to work with through the whole process. Definitely looking to come back to get more!
Got an eyebrow piercing . Going back for my next piercing very soon.
Absolutely love the artist there
I called the day before to get my daughters ears done. Guy on the phone told me every was good. When I went in the next day. The guy told me the exact opposite of what I was told the day before. No staff communication clearly they don’t know what they are talking about or doing.
Steel n Ink was extremely clean and followed all Covid procedures perfectly. They were professional and kind and explained everything before starting the piercing. I highly recommend this great little shop!
Pricing is $$$$$$
Finally decided to dodge the bullet of normalcy and get my septum pierced by brock- professional he was ( funny too ) everything was clean piercing was done super quick absolutely thrilled with the outcome would totally recommend to any and all looking for a totally amazing piercing experience !! totally rad!! ❤️
Picked up some new jewellery today! Love their selection. The staff is so helpful!
A must-visit place for all your tattoos and piercings needs.
Staff are so friendly and professional. Great tattooing from Phil - will be back soon!
I got my helix (cartilage) pierced here back in October of 2020. Nothing to complain about in terms of cleanliness, friendliness. They were also very professional, so no complaints there. Only downside was it was much more expensive than the other piercing place I went to. On top of that, when the piercing got ripped out by my mask and I lost the backing, Steel and Ink charged me an extra $20 for a backing and said they weren't charging me for the 'jewelry change'. (I'm assuming they normally do). The other place I went to for my other piercings, offers free jewelry changes. Between October 2020 and now, I've gotten 2 (3) new piercings at another piercing place: my seconds lobes and conch/orbital (another cartilage piercing) and I probably paid the same amount for both lobes and orbital than I did for that one cartilage piercing. My friend however had a worse experience. They got their industrial pierced here and had a horrible recovery with a terrible healing process due to the piercing being put an incorrect angle; and again, they paid a fraction of what they paid at Steel n Ink for the one industrial, than what they paid for for 2 piercings at the other piercing place.
Love my tattoo from Aaron
I brought my daughter to the Barrie location to have her ears pierced for the first time. Brock was great with her. She was very nervous since she knew it would hurt, but he was great with her. The store was very clean & put my concerns to rest, when he had the earrings in a clean room to sanitize.
Awesome place and service
Been here twice and both times the people were absolutely rude, didn’t bother trying to make conversation or help in any way. Both mine and my sisters piercings have gotten infected even after doing everything the piercer told us for taking care of them. We both have many piercings and have never had any problems till we went here. Would not recommend to anyone.
It wasn’t a great experience. Customer service wasn’t pleasant. When they pierced my daughters ear I didn’t see that the person washed their hands and just put gloves on. Likely won’t be back.
I have gone to steel n ink numerous times and every tattoo turns out wonderfully. The shop is clean as well as all the equipment. The artists are incredibly talented and the prices for their work reflect their skill, not the time it takes. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Amazing experience for my first tattoo with tito, cant wait to go back for my second!!
brock is amazing !! easy to talk to, professional and talented at piercing. will be returning and highly recommend, i cannot sat enough good things! :)
Thank you so much Mackenzie for making me so comfortable for piercing my eyebrow. It has indeed given me new look.
Really awesome experience with @piercingsbyBrock. Great convo and a very professional hard worker. Give that guy a day off lol! ????
Tara did an amazing leg tattoo for me. Very clean environment. It's my new favoritef, and most complimented, tat. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!
I can't say enough good things about this tattoo shop. I went in for my first tattoo and it was an amazing experience.
Brock is a personable, awesome and outgoing person. This is the most welcoming experience I’ve had in some time. Thank you so much for the cool piercing and the good laughs! It was quick and overall a great experience. Things were very clean too :)
I have several tattoos on my body, and Mark did all of them with complete perfection. I love the way they treat you here!
Thanks Chris for doing a great job. I love my tattoo.
Love the variety of jewellery they have. Some great prices and I was very happy with their service!
Got a peircing and wasnt told it was extra for jewelry, wasn't told that they could have cancelled in person by the manager and took advantage of a teen. Horrible to do. Wouldnt recommend at all.
Customer service 5/5 I had a cartridge stud that kept falling out so I messaged Brock. He got back to me super quickly and told me to come in and he’d help me out with it. In and out in 5 mins and the problem was fixed. Much appreciated !
It was indeed a great experience
Best shop in town by far
Verry friendly. Did some amazing work. A lityle pricey over the original quote. We added fill in.
I love my piercings, and you guys rock!
Easy shop to deal with , online booking . nice people
I was so nervous about getting a tattoo for the first time, but Jordyn (HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER) walked me through the entire process and made me feel so comfortable through it all! She paid close attention to every detail and listened to every request I made. Price was also amazing! My tattoos look so amazing, I've already received so many compliments on it! Will definitely be returning :)
I am forever changed.
Highly recommend Steel n Ink. Awesome experience from start to finish. Tito was fantastic!!! Great place and great people!!!!
Very accommodating for a special tattoo and very patient and I loved their suggestions. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely go back. Will be going back! Time for appointment was reasonable. Expect time delays for quality work!
I had some difficulty finding the right fit for my most recent piece. After checking out some profiles online I decided to check out Steel n Ink, and I’m so glad I did. Brock met me when I arrived and after chatting for a bit he told me he had the perfect artist. After a consult with Tito, he designed the most beautiful piece which we have been working on since. The atmosphere in the shop is professional and clean and so much fun. Tito’s work is insanely beautiful. He is a true artist. If you are contemplating some work, definitely check them out.

Had a very great experience there. Both Brock and Justin are well trained and professional! Pleasure experiencing both of them.
Awesome shop! Very professional and clean ! Love the artists ! They do amazing work ! I was shocked when I didn't hear the normal sound of a tattoo gun and then was shown that they use special guns that are silent and not ur normal gun ! Was really cool ! Definitely will be returing for more ink ! Thanks so much for the awesome tattoo !!????
I am really very happy with my decision of choosing Steel N Ink for making a tattoo on me and my fiancé’s hand.
I really appreciate their work and I would like to recommend them to my friends.
Stopped in today with our kids- no appointment. A nose and ear piercing later we left with such a pleasant experience. Brock was patient with us (and kids) and we appreciated how clean and thorough everything felt. Both people getting the piercing were super nervous however to our surprise, it was a nearly painless process and no doubt Brock's gentle and quick ability played a huge role in this. Thank you- we will definitely be back again
Quite happy to get my long-awaited tattoo here.
I have been to steel n ink twice, once for a tattoo, that turned out beautiful one of my favourite pieces. Was quoted $160, told it would take 1.5hours. It took two hours (with the artist taking two 15 minute breaks). And I was charged $260, told afterwards they messed up on the quote. That wasn’t fair I was told one price it should of been honoured. Then I got told that it took longer than expected. (But it didn’t, so I was paying for the artist who had to take two 15 minute smoke breaks.). I was young and didn’t know better. (Art is beautiful though) Second I went to get a piercing, figured maybe that would be different. Got told originally I didn’t have the right ear shape, then got told “oh we’ll make it work” (industrial bar). That should of been my first red flag. Then I showed the piercer where I wanted it he marked it, he made the dots I told him I wanted it higher he said okay I’ll fix that when I do it. (Second flag cause now he was going to free hand). But he didn’t fix it still put it through the origami spot but folded the flap of my ear over in the process. It did not heal well and I ended up just removing because of the pain it was causing me trying to heal it.
Amazing customer service felt right at home as soon as walking in definitely will be going back soon tattoos have the best detailed tattoos I’ve ever seen in Barrie
Jordyn is great, quick appointments, very personable and happy to touch up. Great experience
Amazing work and service but WAY overpriced. Charged $200 on a 15 minute tattoo and I was in and out of the shop in 40 minutes. Definitely will not be back.
I am so happy with my new piercing
They have already done a sufficient safety arrangement before starting the work. It really made me very comfortable whiles the process. Good job
The shop was beautiful and looked clean. Customer service was great. I was really hoping and looking forward to getting something small medium or large depending on the time they had. Shop was empty and it was early afternoon. I work in a shop and I know walk-ins can be done. They said they would book me another time. I went somewhere else and even though she was slammed, she kept me comfortable, entertained and had me look through her work. Then she quickly did up a stencil when she was finished with her clients and stayed a half an hour after close to finish what I wanted. I'm pretty excited for her to do the rest of my body, as both my sleeves are finished, she's now going to work on my legs and the rest ♡.
As soon as I walked into this shop, I felt welcomed. And it doesn't hurt getting a tattoo with Mark as the artist! He was a clear communicator, and my experience was extremely professional. The artists are experienced, talented, and so easy to get along with.
Not my first review, this place deserves all the praise it receives! Both my mom and I have been there countless times and we never leave disappointed. Top notch staff, great location and always a pleasure to visit!
Was recently at the Barrie location to have a cover up done with Tito. He took the time to understand what I wanted to have done and explained everything to me. Would highly recommend this place.
everyone that works at the barrie Steel N Ink are wonderful people, super friendly and funny people to be around. i’ve only been tattooed by Jordyn and i recommend her to anyone that asks about my tattoo’s!!! she is so amazing and makes you feel at home when you’re with her. super professional and does a super thorough job and takes it very seriously. which i love!! love all my tattoo’s by her!!
Rude and condescending.
I absolutely loved my experience.
I've had my nose pierced and a tattoo done at the barrie location. Absolutely amazing environmen . The team that they have working at the barrie location are absolutely amazing. It's a very clean shop and they all do great work. I've told so many people to go to this location specifically. Love love love the barrie sho . ????????
The entire experience was great. I inquired about a tattoo and got a quick reply then when I came to the shop all the staff were friendly and welcoming. The shop itself is very clean and all the staff were helpful. I would highly recommend this shop and its staff members.
If you're in the Barrie area and want to get tattooed by Mark, I highly recommend Steel N Ink . My boyfriend got his first tattoo from him and he adored him.
I’ve gotten 3 tattoos here over the last few months from Jordyn and would highly recommend her based on all of them. Professional and clean shop with good COVID protocols. Will return for sure.
Best experience amazing service and the best artists! Extremely patient and caring and the best shop to go and the best company to have your tattoos brought to life. Please go and enjoy the experience yourself!
Thanks a lot for making my tattoo painless. You are really the best.
Thank you so much for exchanging my jewelry very easily.
Got two tattoos from steel n ink my side from the one in Collingwood Ian did an amazing job and my arm from Barrie. Highly recommend either location there always friendly and professional.
Got my Daith piercings done by Brock. He and staff are great, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Got some piercings done and I absolutely love them, online booking was super easy and the atmosphere was just really comfortable. Will definitely be returning for future piercings!
I have lots of piercings and I found everything I wanted there.
Good job guys!
I'm in love with this shop. Super rad crew and some of the best talent I have ever seen! Go check em out if you want quality work in a professional clean environment!
This is very wheelchair accessible. The first tattoo shop I’ve been in that I can fully enter the bathroom and turn around in by myself in my chair. Very wide and open shop.
I had a very large tattoo with a lot of details on it and I was so nervous to have Mark do my tattoo. He walked me through and made sure that I understood every step of my process, which was obvious in the end result. Thank you so much
I am crazy about jewelry and when I visited their store I just loved it. That is why I love visiting there again and again.
Super easy to book appointments, very clean and professional. Brock was incredible!
I have visited so many piercing stores. But the sort of pre and post safety preparation Steel N Ink provides nobody provides.
Brock is my go to piercer. Great jewelry selection
I lost the top to my dermal piercing and Brock was quick to help out. Superior customer service!
Steel and Ink is the place to be! Brock (who I highly recommend) not only gave me an amazing piercing, but a great experience through it all.
Had a memorial piece done with Tito. Tattoo turned out amazing, level of professionalism and courtesy in this shop is phenomenal. Will return and recommend the Barrie location for sure!
My girlfriend had her heart set on a tattoo for months, but was so nervous about actually getting it that after countless hours of research and talking to Brock, she finally took that big step. I'm so ecstatic with the work they did! Definitely will have her do all our tattoos!
Amazing artists
I had the best experience with getting a piercing here!!! The guy who I met with, Brock, was awesome. Super friendly, and genuinely good at what he does. I am a huge baby when it comes to pain, and I can honestly say my piercing with him was the least painful one i’ve ever gotten. Also, when you walk in, it’s very well designed and clean. I’m really glad I went here as opposed to anywhere else! :)
I went to get my nose pierced. Brock was very nice and did a really good job , he kept good conversation and I was comfortable the whole time:)
Had my second lobes pierced by Brock! He took the time to explain every step of the process with me and was a very chill guy. Made the experience very fun! Super friendly service, and a very clean environment.
Brock was awesome through the whole process. Very chill and professional vibe. 10/10 would recommend and already planning our next visit.
I love my tattoo, and it was worth the wait. It's very detailed, exactly what I wanted. Steel n Ink is the best place you'll find in this area.
My daughter and I called the shop late for piercing prices, we got there a half hour before they closed I was very pleased to see how clean the shop was ,everyone there was really nice. The piercer Brock was very nice, very professional , made myself and my daughter very comfortable and even though we were there after they had closed I didnt feel like I had to rush out of there. I would highly recommend the shop for any type of piercing.
Looking for a place to get my daughter’s belly button pierceShe just just turned 15 and wanted a piercing. Found Steel n Ink online and it had good reviews. Booked an appointment with Brock. Was a little apprehensive about the whole piercing thing, but Brock is a pro. Walked us through the process, super sterilized the jewelry, the studio was very clean and organized. Piercing was virtually pain-free and done in less than a minute (that’s with the jewelry in place). If my 15 year old found the experience enjoyable and easy. Adults should have no issues, especially with Brock, he’s a pro. Thanks Steel n Ink, and thanks Brock. Terry K.
Brandon is an amazing tattoo artist! Absolutely recommend!
Have been tattooed by Jordyn Greer many times now. Her artwork and attention to detail while always ensuring your comfortable and 100% satisfied, is second to none. Jordyn is an exceptional tattoo artist and well worth driving from St. Catharines all the way to Barrie just to have my tattoos done by her. 100% recommend to anyone looking for their first tattoo or a new artist.
I am very happy with my piercing .Thank you for such a great job.
I just dropped in to Steel n Ink. Piercing guy just stepped out as i walked in. Tatoo person sarcastically said, as i entered and was only person walking in the door, "Look what the cat dragged in". Sad that you feel making a woman feel bad makes you feel superior. Thank you for the vote of confidence for my enquiring about my first tatoo, and couple of piercing!
Couldn't be happier with our experience. It was my boyfriend's first tattoo here and he was over the moon with his tattoo, the process, the artist was absolutely wonderful and thanks to his advice, the healing process gas been flawless. We will both definitely be coming back here for more work to be done!
Best jewelry selection in town!!!!!!! Staff makes your experience amazing
Solid work.
Got my first tattoo at steel n ink Barrie. Tito did an amazing job and made the experience amazing. No other tattoo artist or shop for me.
I would really like to thank Jeff for doing such a great job, real pro
Had my first appointment with Tito last night and I am so glad I went to him. I went in with an idea and he came up with a design that was far beyond what I expected. He was very thorough in explaining the process and making sure I saw expiration dates to show me everything was being done the right way. This made me feel very comfortable from the start. I would highly recommend this business to anyone!
I have had all of my tattoos done at this shop up to this point. The atmosphere is fantastic everyone is super nice and the place was always clean. My artist Tito also exceeded my expectations every time and I couldn't be happier with how my tattoos have healed since being done. awesome shop awesome vibe couldn't have chosen a better place to get tattooed!!!
Mackenzie is the best man to hire for piercing.
Got both my septum and eye brow pierced here. Friendly service. Had Brock both times and would go back to him for another, would recommend.
Got my piercing done a while ago, they did a good job and is so clean there. Btw my piercing didn’t get infected at all, I planned to get my next piercing here after this situation ????
Before I got my tattoo, I had no idea what I was doing and was so nervous about how it would turn out, but Aruna helped with everything! She is so personable and professional. She’s also great at remembering your tastes and preferences even if you don't remember them yourself. Her skill and expertise are impeccable.
Hubby & I have had several tattoos from Tito and he is amazing. Really great guy, easy to work with and ridiculously talented artist. Will be following him to the Don Mills location for sure!
I am thankful for all my tattoos and have used three different artists.
I was very panicky to get my nose pierced, but the staff managed to keep things at ease. I recommend it to all my friends and family.
I am a loyal customer. Nothing has changed over the years in their quality.
Amazing work. Everyone that works there are great. I'll be going back again for sure.
Very clean place and the staff is really friendly. Definitely will go there again for future help/work.
Tito did an amazing job turning my idea into reality; I'll definitely go back soon!"
Brock did my daughter's nose piercing. He was very professional, made sure she stayed calm, and did an amazing job. He was so friendly and caring. Mark did my tattoo, he did an amazing job. It was exactly what I wanted. Perfect. Will definitely go there again and recommend this place to everyone!
Very clean shop. All of the staff are very kind and comforting from the moment you walk into the door to the moment you leave. Artist listen to what you want to do and are very experienced, helping to make your tattoo even better! Never changing tattoo shops again, this is the place to go!
My ear piercing developed an infection that these guys helped me with. Happy with them!
Got an ear piercing with a titanium stud, worth every penny. I went to a cheap place before and my piercing got infected to the point I had to remove it.
only place ill go to for piercings, Brock is awesome
My friend took me here. Lovedthe employees. They gave me confidence and made sure I was comfortable during the process.
I've gotten two tattoos and 3 piercings from this location and had an amazing experience every time! It's one of the cleanest well organized tattoo shops I've ever been to and the staff is super friendly and talented! Wouldn't go anywhere else!
Never need to find another tattoo shop. Professional service from start to finish. Super clean. Wicked atmosphere. Tito is incredible to work with, super personable, his work is phenomenal. I'll be back there for all the work I'm going to have done, and will recommend Steel n Ink to everyone. You won't be disappointed.
I called many places just to get an idea of cost ! This place was fantastic no attitude just a great guy that answered my question and gave me a ruff idea of how much my tattoo would be. Thank you !! I'll be a customer very soon.
It wasn't my first tattoo but it's by far the best one yet! Received some referrals to other places, came across Steel n Ink when I was checking out the hours of these other places and I was impressed by the reviews, so surely it must be worth checking out right? Heck ya! Like many others have mentioned, Tito has skills! Entire experience exceeded all of my expectations, can't wait to go back for more :)
I recently got a tattoo done by Alexandra. My complaints are that the original drawing was done quickly and that when I pointed out revisions that I wanted made, (positioning, alignment of the corners on the geometric design) "Lexi" assured me they would be fixed but then didn’t. I felt that she pressured and rushed me, and didn’t listen to my concerns and wasn't at all willing to put in the effort to give my a good tattoo. When I later went back and expressed my dissatisfaction in person, Lexi refused to refund my money. I then called to complain to her co-worker, hopefully to get back my money. She works in the upper canada mall location of Steel n ink after March 21st.
54 years young and had my first tattoo done by Branden. Excellent job. So very happy with the outcome. Will be back for another one for sure????
I've been to the Barrie Steel n Ink several times and I'm always impressed by their relaxed, yet professional atmosphere. Great staff. Highly recommended
Carl was very patient and carefully paid attention to all my concerns. They took care of the hygiene. The prices are fair and superb service was delivered. I will surely visit again.
Great place clean and professional. Brock did my piercings. Excellent!
I was very scared to pierce my ear and Brock was so cool and easy with me and I didn’t feel a thing, i really loved his professionalism and how he did it very smoothly ???? thank you so much Brock u rock!!
My daughter and I both got piercings by Brock, he was amazing, fast and answered our questions, he is definitely recommended.
Can't wait to check this place out, looks amazing!
Awesome shop, got a bigger tattoo on my back and it looks terrific. They pierced my friend while he waited and looks great.
I had a piercing done by Brock, he took the time to show me the different jewellery options I could get for my ear until we found something that I both loved and was within my budget. I was super nervous but he took the time to talk me through the procedure, and made me feel at ease. The piercing itself was done before I realized it had even happened. It was done both quick and relatively painless. The studio was spotless, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Will definitely be back!
Love the 3 tattoos I had done at Steel N Ink at Sauble Beach and Collingwood!
Had a great experience at Steele n Ink in Barrie. I've never had ear piercings before, so I was nervous but Brock put me at ease, explained the differences between the piercings and took his time. It made my decisions easier and when it came time to the actual piercings there was very little pain at all. Not only would I go there again but I would recommend it to family and friends. Thanks Brock!
Great prices and fantastic atmosphere. A tattoo company I am very familiar with and recommend is Steel N Ink.
I am very happy that I choose Steel N Ink for the nose piercing of my sister.
Have seen nothing but very nice work come out of the Barrie shop and very good prices
I got an industrial piercing with Justin. Justin was really great, talked and explained everything so the piercing was more comfortable. Would definitely recommend a piercing here.
The artists here are so kind and their artwork is amazing! Lots of creativity and a good price.
Brock does amazing piercings. He is very knowledgeable and precise. We recommend him to all our friends. Also his studio is very clean.
This was our 2nd visit at Steel n Ink and we are very pleased with the services received so far. Dropped in with my daughter to seek assistance with switching out her nose piercing for the first time and Brock did it for her right on the spot, at no charge! The team is always very welcoming and their customer service is excellent! I've also noticed during our visits that they create some pretty wicked tattoos. I would highly recommend Steel n Ink for anyone seeking a piercing or a tattoo.
Before going in I had reviewed this place and decided to go in as it had great reviews. I was greeted and helped right away. The person helping me out was great, unfortunately I can't say the same about the tattoo artist, Aaron. He did not make me feel welcome at all and he just seemed miserable that he was stuck with my tattoo and that showed in his work. The tattoo I wanted was just writing.... to me it looks like some letters are a bit blurry. I decided to give it a chance to heal before I made a comment. After almost 2 months it still looks blurry.... disappointing.

I've been tattooed twice by Dave and Aaron and pierced by Dan and all were amazing experiences. All three were professional, friendly and made me completely comfortable during each visit . I have had several conversations with all the guys, including Hart and Dylan and the 3 mentioned above, while getting quoted for each service and always felt pleasant, welcomed and entertained!
This was the best experience I've had at a place for piercings. Absolutely the best in Barrie!
I brought my fiancé in to get a belly piercing The piercer was very honest with us saying because of the shape of her belly and navel wouldn’t work right now! And was best to wait! I appreciated that the gentleman was honest, instead just out to take our money So I highly recommend going there! Update! Again I highly recommend Steel and Ink I had Tito do an Iron Maiden tattoo for me He was very professional and caring, he was also very friendly and easy to talk to while he was doing his work. Out of all the tattoo shops I’ve been to, Steel and Ink is the most professional look and operation I’ve been to Very clean, awesome set up. A place that really cares about their clients and the work they do for them! Tito is the man for all my future tattoos! Thanks again guys at Steel and Ink. I give you 100 stars
Picked up some new jewelry today! Love their selection. The staff is so helpful!
I got a very nice tattoo and loved it!
Brock, the piercer I went to today went above and beyond to ensure my comfort with the process, and my understanding of sanitization after the fact. It was my first piercing ever and I'm already planning more. great studio, great service, fair prices!
Love this place
Steel Ink’s Barrie location is great. They have amazing artists and Brock is an awesome piercer. Super excited for the new Don Mills location where I will be going for my next appointment. To work on completing my most recent piece. Tito has been my tattoo artist for all my major pieces. He is so talented. Looking forward to my next session!
I have gotten mutiple tattoos & a piercing here & each time has been great - with no complaints! Most recently was my tattoo which Phil did; he took the time to make sure it was exactly what I wanted & did an amazing job - would 100% recommend!
My fiance and I got finger tattoos for rings, turned out great
I’ve gotten all 3 of my tattoos done here. Each with a different artist, they’ve always been able to squeeze me in last minute (because everything has been a last minute decision for me). It’s super clean and just a nice environment! I will continue to get tattoos here and recommend it to my friends and family!!
