I loved the piece I got from Lindsey previously. I do have quite a bit of trouble trying to reach the shop to sceduale appointments. I've been trying to resceduale an appointment that had to been canceled early February for quite some time but still have not heard back about it, and like most places my deposit is not refundable so im SOL.

Went in for a consultation with Scott for a fairly large piece. Maybe he was just in a pissy mood, but he was totally disinterested from the start. The moment I said that I wanted tartan on the piece he refused, said it was "such a pain in the ass" and walked away. No suggestions for changes or modifications, didn't recommend any of the other guys at the shop, nothing. Just walked away. At least props to him for admitting he wasn't good enough, even if he was a prima dona about it. I'll go find a good artist somewhere else.

My experience was 6 years ago. I had never made a post about it before, because at the time this happened, I don't believe the shop had an online presence. But now I am an empowered adult and I am sure others would want to know what this shop is actually like. I see lots of people praising the folks at this shop, and honestly, it makes me feel ill. I was 18, and booked this tattoo months in advance. I had a friend who highly recommended Scott for small tattoos specifically. Scott called me and asked if he could change my appointment to the Monday (even though they are usually closed on Mondays), and I agreed. He never asked me to send a photo of what I wanted, just a basic description, which I provided. So the Monday comes and nobody is at the shop-- it's locked-- so I go wait in my car. Finally, Scott arrives and unlocks the shop-- about 1 minute before the appointment. I go in, he says he needs a minute to sketch out what I've explained to him, so I wait. He comes back with a design that was really bad and did not resemble what I described to him at all. It was obvious that he didn't care at all what me, as the client wanted, and he was clearly annoyed that he was there on his day off (keep in mind, this was his decision). This was not my first tattoo, I had tattoos before, I knew how the process worked. So I said to him something to the effect of "Actually, I'm thinking something a bit more like X". He stares at me, goes to the register, grabs my deposit money and shoves it in my hand and says: "you have no idea how tattooing works, you're just a dumb little girl" and walks out of the shop, leaving me inside, alone. I was devastated, the tattoo was for a friend of mine who had passed, and I had been waiting months to get it. After crying my eyes out in my car, I call another shop in town, and they had an opening. I told them what I wanted, and they said they said it was no problem. By the end of the day, I had the exact tattoo I wanted, done beautifully-- from somebody else. I don't doubt that the folks here are talented, but obviously the sheer disrespect I was treated with has sat with me for years. I am only writing this review, because it appears others have had similar experiences with Scott very recently, so he obviously hasn't learned. It doesn't seem that Scott realizes that it's your body that is going to have this art on you permanently. I believe he simply sees his clients as a canvas for him to do as he pleases. There are other talented people who do tattooing in Westman who respect their clients. Go to them instead.

I was there with a friend who was getting a tattoo. The staff was all very friendly, so it was a lot of fun to sit there for a few hours and talk with everyone. The location itself was clean, easy to get to, and really cool. Will definitely be back when I decide on what tattoo I want.

Went there for patch up and then two new tattoos, and loved what was done! Lee saw that a couple of letters were fading with old tat, so made sure those were fixed also. No one I know has been able to be perfect with straight lines, (unless you want to pay for much more timing and pain during actions), so I'm very happy with what I had done in about hour and a half, with bright colours and wonderful details! Refer this to anyone who realizes that they're buisness people, not always happy go lucky people some would try to expect.

Always happy with Lindsay's work.

Mark Hurley

T.J is amazing! Cut and dry!

James greenlay

Scott and lindsay are amazing

Bill Madts

Wife came in for eyebrow microblading. They were fine at first but now that they faded, they're big, blocky dark patches. My wife is incredibly upset and Lindsey's only answer to fixing them was being rude and telling her it was normal instead of admitting what she'd done was tattoo instead of microblade. Do NOT go here.

My son has Autism and sensory issues. Scott was amazing with him. He is thrilled with his first tattoo

My wife and I went to Scott at the tattoo convention in winnipeg. Enjoyed everyone's portfolios from the shop, Scott did great work being put on the spot for drawings. We look forward to going to Brandon for more!

Nicole Kozak

Rude and unprofessional. Will be taking my money and tattoos to Winnipeg from now on.

John Lloyd

This was my first tattoo, I did alot of research on who to go to and wanted the tattoo to be as perfect as possible. Scott went above and beyond all my expectations and I now have what i consider to the best tattoo in the world. Ì am that happy with it. Thankfully no regrets whatsoever and a life long master piece on my hand. The circle is flawless. Flawless! I would highly highly highly recomend him for someone who is thinking about a tattoo but is scared it won't be up to par. Jaw dropping work!
