Xavier is super friendly and amazingly talented. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. In fact, 3 of my familiy members went to him to have their tattoos. His quality of work and attention to details are outstanding. I am already looking forward for my next tattoo. Thank you, Xavier. You rock!

I've been fortunate enough to have had all my work (a lot) done by Xavier over the last two years and each session and experience was beyond comparison. His attention to detail, consideration and professionalism and work is second to none. Both Xavier and Kiera are always friendly and welcoming and I look forward to many future projects at The Black Vatican. I'm proud to have Xavier as both an artist and as a friend.

Xavier is the only person I'll ever let tattoo me, he's super friendly, super talented and the utmost professional. He knows what he's doing and is great to help not only tattoo you but design your tattoo and even prepare for future tattoos to blend in well. You won't be disappointed.

THE WITCH

I came to this location due to Keira, who has (since spring-this year) split her time with Malefic in Streetsville and Black Vatican I've been a long supporter of Malefic and specifically Fabien Madeleine. Since dreaded covid I have kept my association with Keira which has brought me to Milton and Black Vatican.

Outstanding phenomenal work by Xavier as always. I would not go anywhere else when considering my next tattoo. Always a great experience each time!!!

Palmira Holmes

Xavier was professional and explained the whole process ( first time getting a tattoo). I’m so happy with the results !!!

Star Quality Private Investigations

By far the most talent tattoo artist in the city. Xavier and the staff are super talented and professional. The shop is always clean and rockstar cool. If you are looking for a unique piece and awesome ink….The Black Vatican Tattoo shop is the place to visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have actually had the PRIVILEGE of being tatt’d by both Kiera AND Xavier and honestly I don’t trust anyone else to do anything. Xavier has done 4 of my tattoos and Keira has done 3 and I love all of them. Both of them are so incredibly friendly and helpful and very understanding. I am not always the easiest client but they both went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with everything always! I cannot wait to book more with both of them 10/10 recommend to ANYONE whether it’s your first tattoo or your twentieth they are both such beautiful people to work ♥️

I highly recommend you get Xavier to get your next tattoo or even your first! I received my first tattoo by him almost a year ago and I absolutely love it! Xavier was so professional and patient with me in picking the right tattoo. He went through the process with me and answered every question that I had. The day of receiving my tattoo, he was so nice and so thorough in showing me everything and taking the time to explain what was going to happen next and also aftercare. The tattoo didn't even hurt!!!! Thank you Xavier for such a great experience and also for a great conversation!!! Felicia A-P

I had the absolute honor of getting tattood by Xavier last week. I got two little tattoos done and he absolutely blew me away. The lines that he did are so sharp and clean and even with the super thin writing I chose, you are still able to see every single loop and curve beautifully. He took so much time making sure everything was the exact way I wanted. I am honored to have someone this knowledgeable and skilled to be able to tattoo me. I won't even consider going anywhere else now after seeing the care and detail that Xavier puts into every tattoo.. no matter how big or small. Thanks again for making my arm beautiful! I'll be back soon!

I saw Keira for a smaller traditional piece and she was so great. Very light too! Fun to talk to and made me feel super comfortable. I couldn't decide on a placement and she happily did a few stencils for me. Really appreciate her and highly recommend! plus the tattoo is SICK.

Brandon Sambo

Awesome service from booking to the actual appointment. Friendly, welcoming, professional, and clean environment. Xavier is all around great and hilarious dude, will definitely come back for my future tattoos. His work is incredible, and i'm more than happy with my tattoos/his work. Session was 2 hours long but felt 10 minutes from just the conversation alone. Eat beforehand because he will talk about food and make you hungry. Only thing I regret is not going here for my previous tattoo.

I have been getting my tattoos done by Xavier since the start of his career. Giving him challenging pieces to do, which he undertook with ease and perfection. His quality of work is phenomenal, and he takes pride in the work he does. I highly recommend checking out his new shop The Black Vatican in Milton.

I went to Xavier a couple years back for a cover up , I went to multiple tattoo artist in toronto prior to see if they could cover it up and they either told me no it cant be done or they just dont do it. Xavier did what I thought would be impossible, not only did he tell me step by step what he was doing we also had great laughs and conversation i felt soo comfortable during the uncomfortable and if anyone has had a cover up you feel my pain . I am so thankful for the life changing expereince I endured while there if it wasnt for him I would still have painful memories to look at every single day but instead I have this beautiful tattoo to look at that I got to pick out myself. Thanks xavier again so much !!

I cant say enough good things about Xavier. His place is VERY clean and comfortable to be in. I was told by another shop that it would be too complicated to cover my existing tattoo with a rose but Xavier made it look easy! He took the time disscus in length what designs I liked and came up with something so beautiful. When it came time to getting the tattoo he made me feel very comfortable and at home in his shop. The conversation was great which made the time go by so fast! His passion for his work and kindness really shined throughout the entire process. I can't recommend him enough.

Love this new shop. Can't wait to get back in there to keep my art piece progressing

Cheryl Pankhurst

Have multiple tattoos from Keira ... every single one is unique, detailed and amazing ! Love this new shop and can’t wait to get my next one there!

I was in contact with Saskia and Xavier to consult online over a tattoo of a baseball glove in tribute to my Mom who just passed recently. Saskia was very quick at responding. Not only timely, but both her and Xaviers ideas and recommendations were well communicated and added to the love I have for my new piece. Before I started, Saskia and Xavier went over the process, timing, and answered all questions I had around my expectations. I could write a review based purely on either the amazing work that was done or the great customer service alone as I could not be happier with my experience. This was my 5th tattoo completed but I will not be going anywhere else but the Black Vatican in the future. Thank you for honoring my Mom through your fantastic vision. This is by far my proudest one to bare.

Xavier is one talented guy! I am so happy with my tattoo. The time and patience Xavier had in applying the first step to apply the ink placement. He was great and so welcoming, it makes the time go fast. Conversations were authentic and so nice. The work was amazing. He pays attention to detail and makes sure you are 100% happy with it. He explains step by step direction and tells you what to expect. He makes you comfortable and the shop is so clean!!!! The proper sanitize precautions were taken. I can’t say enough of my first experience with Xavier. I highly recommend The Black Vatican.

Matthew Guidi

Very clean shop, amazing artists and quality work. I can’t wait for my next tattoo!!!

Gurpreet Bains

Been going to Xavier for the last 5 years and will continue going to him until my body is fully covered. Super talented and enjoy seeing his passion in my art. Always on time and makes sure you get exactly what you're paying for in terms of quality. Xavier makes you feel extremely comfortable and always have a blast when I visit the shop! Highly recommend Xavier if you're looking for quality and experience when getting your ink done.

Madisyn Claener

Had appointments with Keira, they were great! Zero complaints! She’s a talented artist with amazing customer service and a real eye. I love my 3 tattoos done by her and will be going back for more and referring her to friends and family! If your getting your first tattoo or a tattoo in general I would recommend her. She was very professional and considerate the entirety of our appointments. Always checking in, creating conversation and making sure your needs and wants are met! Thank you Keira!

I’ve had a few tattoos done but none as detailed as Xavier’s work! We are halfway through my final fantasy sleeve and I constantly have people stopping me to ask about the work. “That line work is sick” is the usual comment. Xavier’s work is awesome!

Jo Gro

Xavier is extremely professional and a very talented artist. I had a great experience getting my tattoo done here and will definitely be using his services again in the future
