It's always a pleasure to frequent this shop. The people in it are awesome and the place itself is cool.
Got my nose pierced here. Felt the staff were professional and knew what they were doing. Also chose a great stud for me! Thanks!
great pricing and lovely staff! guest piercer was awesome
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good atmosphere and great work
Awesome! Made a piercing I was nervous about super chill and easy! Will go back.
Me and my sister are always going back to get pierced from the piercer who looks like the rock. The place is immaculate and smells so good.
This place is the best. I got nip piercings done and they were very professional, did a great job, and he also made me feel very comfortable about being topless lol. Definitely will be coming back. I had a great experience. You guys will see me soon for a tattoo!
It doesn't matter how good the artists are from this shop based on other reviews....but the professionalism is garbage! Book for a month with no reply and followup, called them 5 days before the big day to ask and guess what NO DESIGN still! How can you trust someone to put a permanent ink in your skin who doesn't even know how to follow up with their customers or REPLY to their Email! A Simple task that they cant seem to do!
I got my first tattoo here by Aaron and many more since. I love this shop and cannot recommend them enough!
Got my ear pierced by Justin. He was very chill and nice!
I got my nose pierced here, they we're amazing with me they told me the whole process, every time he was about to do something he told me!! Go to sinister skin no one will regret it.
Had A tattoo done here friendly staff and incredible artist in Aaron, very happy with job done
My best friend and her daughter came here last night. Her daughter had a piercing done by Justin and he made Sufi feel very comfortable. The piercing turned out perfectly and was done very professionally. Aaron nailed the water colour flower tattoo for my friend and she is extremely happy with it. This would be the second wonderful tattoo she has had done by Aaron.
I got my lobes pierced here and had a wonderful experience, the piercer gave me up to date accurate information about safety and cleaning, he seamed very knowledgeable in the area and the piercing was super quick, virtually painless. I would definitely recommend piercing services here
Been thr several times I would recommend
Very clean and professional. Justin did a great job on my piercing. He was very sweet and calm, made the whole process pain free and awesome
Got my septum pierced by Justin, was great service and I didn't wait long as a walk-in. Would recommend to anyone, especially first timers. Took his time and did a perfect job! Thanks!
I had Justin do my Monroe piercing and it was amazing. He made me feel super comfortable and he's so personable. When I said I was going out for dinner afterwards he took the time to make sure I wasn't bleeding anymore and gave me extra q-tips just in case. As well my friend got an ear peircing and was feeling like he was going to pass out and he was super patient and attentive to him. And told us stories to help him get through it. I cannot wait to go back and get more done!!
Do not get pierced here. Although they follow proper sanitary protocol, they are not experienced pierces. Myself, as well as other friends of mine have developed keloid scarring from improperly placed piercings. My nipple was pierced too shallow, and the wrong jewlery was used! I only found this out after going to another piercing shop and having another experienced piercer tell me this. My best friend got her nipple pierced here and it got so badly infected she had to go to the hospital to receive daily IV antibiotic treatment, she assumed it was just a coincidence, and once the infection healed, had her nipple re-pierced by sinister. It became infected and swollen again, so she went to another piercer for a second opinion, only to find out that sinister had pierced too shallow, and had used improperly sized and shaped jewelry! Althogh they seem completely professional, they are proving to have a track record of poor piercing skill. I've had dozens of piercings, and almost every one I have had done at sinister has had problems. Beware guys, beware.
Carlo is an amazing artist !! Did two of my tattoos and one more coming up soon
Got one of my tattoos here, I'm really proud of how it turned out, it's pretty simple but the artists here are great. If you're looking for a tattoo artist, check out some of the portfolios and see if the artists here match your style, they have some really talented artists, and the shop is very clean and trendy looking.
excellent artist, very professional services. you can count with them for any kind of design you need or idea, they can successful cover a huge line of styles Ask for Carlo or Aaron
Got my first tattoo here, Carlos did an amazing job and over all the stuff for very nice and polite. The place is clean and sanitary. Highly recommended
Love this place. Super clean , they are very talented. Aaron did my tattoo and he exceeded my expectations.
The best place I have been too, great people and the art work is fantastic
Been my tattoo and piercing parlour for years and will be for years to come. Justin is so informative and professional and walks you through every second of your piercing experience. I've never received a single issue with any of my piercings as i have from other places. The artists are amazing as Well, all very happy to see you come into the studio and love chatting with you. Carlo has been my tattoo artist (by fluke as I had a terrible experience at another place) for years and I trust him to make amazing art.
All the Artists are super friendly amd make you feel comfortable
I have had 2 tattoos done here. Great staff and a cool low key vibe. I will be back.
Got my first piercing done here, and I absolutely loved it. Super painless and quick, Justin was absolutelt a joy to talk to. My sister also got a second lobe piercing done with Justin too! I 100% reccommend this place for anyone looking to get stabbed!
Carlo knows how to do it the best
Great work. So pleased with the art
Nice work, poor people skills. An audio system is set up to provide music for the entire place but boo for you if you're in the booth next to it. You can't hear anything and if you need to talk to the tattoo artist, you're screwed. You need to yell to be heard and then you get admonished for raising your voice. Also they're cash only, but don't tell you that until after they've done your tattoo for a walk-in.
Recommended !! definitely my second piercing will be with Justin again!
My sister and I went in and got matching tattoos today. Can't say enough about how awesome Aaron was. Super fun and professional, took his time and did an awesome job. Highly recommended.
this place is awesome. Justin is the best piercer i've ever encountered, i've never had any issues with any of the work he's done for me. He's also a super nice and chill guy. Place is clean and professional. Definitely come here for all your local piercing needs!!!
First tattoos and Pascal did a great job. He made me feel comfortable through the entire process and has a great sense of humor. The tattoos look amazing, would definitely recommend Sinister Skin!
Excelente service on the phone and in store. They follow safety protocols and have a very affordable rates.
I got my septum pierced by Justin back in July. It was my first facial piercing so I was super nervous! Justin was super calm and really fun, he made the whole experience painless and comfortable. The septum was done in the right place too which was a great relief! (I've heard many stories about how piercers mess it up easily) My septum isn't doing great though, so hopefully when I go tomorrow everything will be okay! They really deserve the tip they got from me! ???? I always recommend this place.
Having came away from a really bad experience at Black Rabbit, a friend recommended going to Sinister. Seriously, the whole experience couldn't have been any better! Very thorough, very profesional, really welcoming - there's a real family feel to the place, even my wife and kids were made to feel very welcome. The tattoo I wanted was no mean feat (based on an illustration) and Sam absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! I couldn't be any more happy with it. Sam managed to translate the illustration, embelish and elaborate on it - and turn it into something better than I possibly could have imagined!! Her line work is immaculate and her shading is spot on!! Sam was also very gentle, easy to talk to and made me feel very relaxed - so much so that I managed to sit for 6.5 hours! I'm now saving for my next tattoo and can't wait to go back to sinister skin. I'm a customer for life - couldn't recommend them highly enough!
I was looking for a place to get a piercing removed and found this place. The guy that helped me out was super nice about the whole thing and was quick to assist me with my problem. Would love to come back and get a piercing from this place in the future :)
Prompt. Clean. Professional. ????
Great staff, great artists, amazing vibe when you walk in, super clean and open, amazing work.
Sam is amazing. She did exactly wanted and it turned out great
Top notch crew! Awesome custome service, clean, professional. Client for 15+ years and took care of me for a quick piercing repair. Thanks guys!
I got my helix and lobe done on my left ear here 2 days ago. Staff here are friendly and professional.
Staff is great. Had the piercer helping me with my nose ring and he did a great job, super delicate and zero pain. 100% recommended!!
Got a few ear piercings done here and had a great experience!! Its such a clean place with the nicest staff that ease your nerves from getting pierced. I heard about this place from my cousin that got his tattoo done here and was extremely happy with how it turned out, so I decided to give this place a shot, and I'm glad I did!
Having bought a screw on post earring for my helix piercing, I was having difficulty putting it in on my own so I made an appointment with Justin. While it was a relatively quick fix, he was friendly and I really appreciated how he took extra care to not aggravate the piercing itself as the skin needed a bit of stretching from my previous, smaller earring. To top it all off, I wasn't even charged for his time (meanwhile a friend of mine paid $10 elsewhere for essentially the same thing). Based on this experience, I'd be happy to recommend and return for future piercings!
A fantastic group of artists. Been having a 3/4 sleeve worked on for the last little while and it looks more amazing with each session. Sam is exceptionally talented!
Great place fantastic tattoo artists amazing work cool place
Amazing experience! Place was very clean, organized, and the staff were very nice and professional. The staff member that pierced my ears took time to mark the correct spots on my ears for the piercings and made sure I was happy with the placement. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get there ears pierced from the tri-cities!
Great studio, super nice folx, very clean and professional.
Cool place, cool people working there. Super cheap to swap out existing piercings.
I had my septum pierced here the other day, and it was about as good an experience as I could have hoped! I just walked in with my friend, but I'm sure we also could have made appointments. Our piercer was Justin, and he was a great mix of knowledgeable, professional, fun, and comforting; he made it so easy and I totally trusted him. Just so you know, they are cash only, so bring cash! I also follow a couple of their tattoo artists online, and their work is excellent!
Great staff, friendly super clean place. Nose peircing
Epic place to get inked
Gotten all my piercings there by Carlo and Justin. Both nice and fun loving guys. Definitely a shop to go to
Fantastic employees. Great environment. Good prices
Great piercing experience from booking to piercing. Whole process was smooth an easy. Always would recommend this team.
Amazing. The people there are so nice, and helpful. They are also really good at what they do, it was by far my best piercing experience. It was quick, clean, and professional. The pricing is very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this place, to all interested.
Aaron in awesome! He is super fun, friendly and professional. I really love how he designed and executed my tattoos. He is a great artist and I highly recommend him!
Carlo is amazing! Best artist I have been too! I cannot wait to get more work done
Great service. Justin made us feel right at home ????????
Very professional and clean, painless experience
Aaron you are the best. First tattoo and I love it. You did such a great job with the colours, they are perfect. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything and discuss what you could and probably could not do with the proof that I sent to you. People are complementing the work. So glad that I took time to research and also come to see you.
Very friendly. Justin the piecer guy is awesome. Great prices.
Justin helped my 14 yr old daughter out tremendously. She got a nose piercing done somewhere else and was having trouble with it staying in. He did a great job bending the wire even though it wasn't very long and he wouldn't take a payment. I highly recommend him for all your piercing needs. He's very knowledgeable!
I got my septum pierced a couple of months ago from here, I noticed after awhile that it got pierced in the wrong spot, it was not pierced at the bottom where the cartilage is. It got pierced pretty far up in my nose, I had intense pain for about two weeks after it was pierced To the point where I couldn’t even touch my nose without being in pain. It finally stopped but I decided to take it out after. It’s been out for a couple of months now and I continued to clean the area but now it is severely infected. However The service was really good and the people at the store are nice. I just wished it got pierced in the proper spot.
Got my first large tattoo done by Sam, she was great, answered all questions that i had regarding aftercare and was patient with me when it came to the design of the tattoo. I brought a friend in for a tattoo on her arm recently- and although I forget the artist’s name- he did a really good job and made suggestions on how to make her idea better.
Carlos is a wonderful artist and did a great tattoo. I highly recommend Sinister Tattoo.
my daughter loves this tat parlor, not my thing though
Needed help getting earring in after one of my piercings had significantly closed up. They got me an appointment quickly and were very knowledgable. They were happy to take the time to slowly help the earring through my original piercing!
Its been 12 years since I last walked into Sinister to get my first tattoo - The shop is still super clean, organized and spacious. The people make it even better! Justin made me feel very comfortable while I got pierced. Not to mention, Rory and his team were pretty amazing too! I highly recommend Sinister for tattoos and piercings!
I got two nose piercings and a industrial by the piercer, and can I just say he was amazing!! Number 1, he talks to you when he’s piercing you. Number 2, he’s so funny and kind. Number 3, everything he uses is very clean, it comes in packages so no one has touched them. Number 4, he makes sure if you are okay after getting it pierced. He’s a great guy! I never bleed out once! For a 5 star place the pricing is not bad at all! Everyone is very friendly too:) I’ll be coming back here.
Paskel is amazing and he is the only person I would trust with all my tattoos
Got my rook pierced here a long time ago, they did a great job.
If I could give a negative review I would, that's how mad I am at the extreme lack of professionalism. My daughter had an appointment for an ear piercing at 5pm tonight, at 4:30 they phoned and said they were running late and could she come in at 5:15. Sure, no problem, it happens. They show up, follow the protocols and texted the piercer. No response, so my wife calls, no answer, my daughter calls, no answer. They wait outside, in the rain for 20 minutes, then someone inside turns out the lights to the front door/stairwell. My wife then calls the front desk, no answer. Completely and absolutely classless and cowardly. Just answer the phone and say you are still running late. Not very hard. They still aren't answering phone calls. So very very unprofessional. I would like to add to this review and say that the owner contacted my wife the next day and my daughter was able to get her piercing that day. Free of Charge!! This was much appreciated and I am very thankful for the owners stepping in and making everything right. This is why we like to support local business, they can and do take the time to make things right when mistakes are made.
First off, they are the NICEST people. Service was professional, clean, inviting, fun and overall just great! I will come back time and time again! Keep up the amazing work! ????????❤️
I got my first ink from Jarret. He was very organized and professional, not to mention being a true passionate artist. He was very attentive to cleanliness. I had concerns that it would turn out the way I hoped but they were quickly dispelled. Thank you very much for a most pleasant experience. I'll be back for more. As far as the Sinister Store goes.....a professional operation throughout. Thank you Reto
I was thoroughly impressed from the moment I stepped in until the moment I left The receptionist was very kind and helpful and very pleasant to speak with. Justin calmed my nerves going into the piercing, followed all precautions and made the whole process an totally pleasant breeze. My piercing turned out perfect, not crooked at all and he seems to be an incredible experienced piercer! If you’re looking to get a piercing done I can not recommend Justin enough! Sinister skin took and followed all COVID distancing, capacity, and safety precautions and took great care of me and my friends(only one of us permitted in the building at a time due to COVID rules which is wonderful to see them truly taking the safety of their clients and themselves seriously!) we all left VERY happy. 10/10 would recommend for your next piercing!
Absolutely excellent. Very professional. Clean environment. Had my work done by Pascal. This is the only place I will ever go now. Worth your trust and every penny.
I went there panicking because my septum ring got stuck in my cartilage and I couldn't fix it... They were so nice and the piercist was lovely and super soothing. He was gentle as a lamb. Already planning to come back for a tattoo :) Thanks so much!
My whole experience with Sinister was awesome, professional, friendly, clean - the piercing was easy and the service exceptional. These guys are good!
Pascal was cool
Got my kids names' tattooed by Jarret. Friendly, professional and awesome vibe. His line work is impeccable. Highly recommended
First time I went here I was met by a girl who was very off hand, blunt and unfriendly. I wasn’t going to go back there but it’s the only place around Coquitlam that I know of that does piercings. So begrudgingly I went back there today. This time I was met by a super nice, friendly guy who happily swapped out my piercing for me and didn’t even charge me. He just said pay it forward. Sooooo it is not the shop it just happened to be that girl. I will go back :)
If I could give this zero stars, I would. We had an appointment for my daughter to have her septum and helix pierced. She was very excited to have this done. After waiting several days, the day had finally come! She shows up for her appointment but was told the piercer had some sort of emergency and they had to cancel. Apparently they had left her a voicemail, but she never got it. She was pretty upset as she was sooo looking forward to having the piercings done, but understood that in an emergency situation, of course her appointment would be cancelled. It would’ve been nice to gotten the vm beforehand, but okay, these things happen. So she reschedules her appointment for the following week. Again, she anxiously waits for the day to arrive. It finally comes. We show up for her scheduled time and called the number on the door so she can be buzzed in. No one answers. She tries again, no one answers. She calls the studio number, no one answers. She stood there for 20 minutes, calling both numbers and no one answers. She comes back to the car where I’m waiting for her as she didn’t know what else to do. I told her to go back to the front door and keep trying. So she does, and 10 minutes later, she’s finally let in. We were both relieved! As she’s waiting for her piercing, she’s chit chatting (with someone who works there) about what she’s having done and making small talk etc. 20 minutes go by when they finally tell her, “your appointment was yesterday, you missed it!” Um….excuse me? I’m pretty sure we had the right day and time!. Needless to say, this was a huge disappointment and what a complete waste of time! We won’t be going back a third time
We were at Sinister for nose piercing and earlobes, and Justin was just awesome. He talked my daughters through the whole process , his fun personality just took the edge off . Thanks for a great experience!
Great service and knowledgeable staff.
Just got my earlobe pierced today by Justin. Very professional, meticulous and attention to detail. I can tell he takes pride in his work. I'm very happy with my experience.
I love this tattoo shop, Sam did a portrait of my boy Spud a few years ago and I just got her to add on his name, birthdate and the day he passed away and I cant thank her enough for doing it
Awesome place. Great tattoo from Aaron and wonder piercing there toi
6 months ago, I got "Daith" piercings for my migraines. Just want to express how happy I was with the cleanliness and the personalized service from Jimmy. I was worried about going ahead with this and I want to thank you for taking care of me again. I fully recommend this company. Jimmy explained what he was doing before he was doing it. As far as how it has affected my migraines ... had the worst one I have ever experienced the day after I had it done ... and have not had one since. I am 7 months in now and still migraine free. - Thankyou
Great clean place
Amazing experience! Place was very clean, organized, and the staff were very nice and professional. The staff member that pierced my ears took time to mark the correct spots on my ears for the piercings and made sure I was happy with the placement. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get there ears pierced from the tri-cities!
All the staff are super helpful and amazing and Justin is a piercing god!!
BELOW ME
Great piercer.
Justin did two piercings for me, valley of the ear both sides. It was fast, professional and painless. He gave clear instruction about after care. Great experience!
Got three cartilage piercings done here. They turned out well and the staff are friendly.
Justin was very friendly and informative! He made me feel comfortable during my nose piercing and spoke throughout the process. Highly suggest!
Today January 7th 2020 I got my first tattoo done by Pascal I believe was his name. He did a very good job and reassured me. Getting my first tattoo by him was a good choice highly recommended!
Justin was amazing with my daughter and made the whole process super easy and comfortable
Justin made me feel very comfortable and was very personable.
Fantastic tattoo artist (Aaron) he did my aunts’ tattoo and it was impressive. I really love his job. I get my piercing done here and it’s a very sanitary place, clean equipment, friendly and very cool artists. My friend gets his tattoos done here as well and he’s very satisfied as well. Highly recommended if you want to get a tattoo or piercing. This place is cash only so just keep that in mind. They give you after care instructions to keep you safe from any possible infection.
Professional and clean.
Justin is awesome, he explains how it gets done properly and is making sure girls are ok at the end. Girls are happy and want to come back for their third and second pairs already... ????????
Great service and great artists
Love it here
Awesome staff. Very helpful getting the ball back on my lip stud. Gave me pointers on what might help me do it myself next time too. Thanks
Great staff, implementing covid-19 protocols seamlessly into their daily routine
Awesome artist and great service with responsible pricing. Love their work.
Staff are lovely but this place is strange. They wouldn't sell me jewelry and it was completely cash only. Get a debit machine or accept e-transfers... it's 2018.
Went there to get some piercings done and they did a great job. Fast and easy and great service. My friend just got her septum pierced and they did it perfectly. Would highly recommend!
Sam is amazing! So friendly and her work is top quality! The studio is very clean. Sam has tattooed my mom, sister, brother-in-law, boyfriend and myself, theres a reason why we have all come to her and repeat come to her. Sam's sister also works at the studio and is always pleasant!
I've been coming here for the past few years and it's a wonderful shop. Sam is an amazing artist with such a great personality. All the staff are very helpful and friendly.
Little hard to find but everyone is super nice and it was very quick and easy. Would go again.
I would totally recommend this business. Outstanding customer service. Justin is absolutely amazing. He made my daughter Olivia feel so at ease when she got her nose piercing. He explained everything and took time to answer all her questions. He is clearly a very skilled piercer! Super friendly staff from first contact. Today my daughter was changing the piercing for first time and just couldn't do it. She was in a panic. We called Sinister and left message and got a call back less than a minute later. The girl on phone was so helpful .She got us in immediately and my daughter said Justin was so nice and helpful and did not make her feel embarrassed for not being able to put piercing in herself. A moment later piercing was in and my daughter relieved. He wouldn't even accept money for it. A great guy! A terrific piercer!
I really like this place, got a tattoo done here a few years ago and my daughter just got her nose pierced. Staff is friendly and personable. Highly recommend them
This is probably the cleanest, most professional tattoo & piercing parlour I’ve ever seen. My tattoo healed up in a week with no issues. Would recommend to anybody!
I went in to get my ears pierced, I had pierced ears years ago but felt they had grown over. he said not necessary to re-pierce we will just open them up a bit, he fed a “bar” through so no piercing neck and didn’t charge me! Amazing service
If want amazing art work! A great experience and someone who really knows what they are doing! GO TO JARRET!! So pleased with all my pieces by Jarret!
Love this place. I’ve had one tattoo done here by Aaron. He’s great. Very friendly, professional place, great with their clients... they also really try to understand what you like and what you want as a tattoo which really helps them create a design to your liking (unless you provide them with an exact design of what you want of course).
Sam has done three amazing pieces on me. she definitely understands my vision. Everyone in the shop is awesome company and I will for sure be back for more!
I was visiting from the UK in august and decided to get my nose pierced. I have many piercings but the service at Sinister Ink exceeded all. Justin is such a funny guy which helps take your mind off things. A very professional individual with great attention to detail. The procedure was carried out with great care and hygiene and the building generally was very well maintained and clean. Definitely a studio that takes pride in what they do. Furthermore my piercing healed well and gave no problems. :-)
Came here to get my first tattoo and got amazing results. Super chill workers and the artists are very talented. Reasonable prices and the environment is very clean. I would highly recommend this tattoo shop if you live in the tri-city area.
Got my daughters ears pierced here. Justin was awesome! So patient and friendly with her. She was laughing the whole time. A+
Aaron did an impeccable job on some fine line work for me. Very personable and knowledgeable - it was a great appointment. I'll be choosing Sinister in the future!
Got a Daith piercing done by Justin who was excellent! He was friendly and knowledgeable, very professional and skilled. Everything looked clean and neat, the piercing itself was done efficiently and with very minimal discomfort. Will definitely be returning for further work!
Jarret Clarkson did an AMAZING job covering up a tattoo of mine!! He was soooo patient and kind and skilled, I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the results. I can proudly say I have a beautiful tattoo now!! Thank you again!! Can’t wait for my next tattoo!!
