Girls are great

Ken Gord

Got my third tat at Inksmith and very happy with the result. Heather is a total professional. The staff are friendly and courteous. The shop is clean and fun. Heather's tools are state of the art and set-up is spotless. Her devotion to perfectionism is one of the reasons I will go back. I'm a satisfied customer.

Love the staff here. So impressed. J helped me with an issue I was having because of a previous piercer. Fair charges and so helpful. I will be booking a tattoo consult here soon!

Brittany

Great experience. Very talented and professional artists. Very clean shop, worth every penny. Definitely recommend. My artist took my inspiration source material and made it better than I could have imagined. Also she offered to touch up my faded old writing at the same time which I really appreciated! She was very gentle, best tattoo I have received.

Erin Drawson

Really awesome shop. Not intimating. Staff are very kind and professional.

Lucas Giancola

Went in for a consultation and Ali was really helpful in creating a design that worked with my initial idea.

Victoria Bell

I came here to get my second tattoo - ended up getting three in one go. The staff is so kind and helps you immensely when designing and setting up your tattoos. They are all very cheerful and create such a welcoming atmosphere and are very patient. The work done by the tattoo artists is precise, well done and due to years of experience faster than most tattoo places. I plan to return there for all of my future tattoos and piercings. They did an amazing job and I am so pleased with the results.

So this was my very first tattoo. I wanted to get my jojo star done, and they took me same day thanks to whoever didnt book Lydia at 7pm. I felt nervous and really unsure, but she was an absolute gem who made me feel hyped up, and helped me power through it! It didnt even really hurt that bad! Shes fun and absolutely a kindred spirit, and I cant wait to go back to get other tattoos done! Thank you so much again for making my first time so enjoyable!! (Side note, it is a 100 minimum, but the experience is worth every god damn penny. Dont forget to tip your tattoo artists!! Itll hurt less! LOL)

Monica Benthin

Excellent tattoos in Guelph

Chris Denison

Heather has done all of my tattoos which is 3 to date and I have yet to be disappointed. When I was shopping around for a good parlor all the checks were hit. Clean, incredibly meticulous, and very talented. On top of that previous work experience in healthcare helped

Olivia Feibel

Lydia is such a talented tattoo artist. She gave me my first tattoo and made the experience relaxing. She made sure everything was how I wanted it before doing the tattoo. She was very thorough and overall the shop was very clean and professional. Great experience I would highly recommend!

Amanda Johnston Humphrys

I have sent half a dozen people to Heather (shop owner) and every single person was and is still thrilled with her work. I have only had a small piece done by her this far, but plan to do any work I need done at Inksmith from now on. Safe, sane and VERY clean shop. I will continue to recommend Heather, along with anone I know in Guelph who has had work done by her or anyone in the shop.

I received my first tattoo at Inksmith with Heather today. She was so kind, positive and professional. I appreciated her talking me through the process and what to expect. I love my new tattoo, it’s perfect. Would recommend highly!

Amazing shop!! Sweetest people ever. I had Lydia do my tattoo and she knew exactly what I wanted and genuinely made me and my friend (who never had tattoos before) feel so welcomed! Great results and great service.

Phoebe Godin

Very pleasant staff!

Mark Spagnolo

I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo experience. I rarely encounter a service that has put such a thought and intention into their customers experience. A lot of talent, passion and care for anyone and everyone who walks into this shop.The quality of my tattoo lives up to the professionalism of the establishment. It is quite clear to me that this place has a wealth of experience in customer service as well as artistry. If I am ever getting another tattoo there is only one place I'd go. They are doing it right. Thank you (:

Chelsey Naclia

The ladies are amazing and will make sure you're getting exactly what you want. They will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy. I recommend any of them for your tattoo needs.

Carol Simpson

They do amazing work

Tiffany Chan

Got my first tattoo here and Lydia was really good at making sure I was okay

Brandon Rennie

Hailey did a piece for me today and it was an excellent experience! Clean shop. Professional people. Amazing attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Zack Leighton

Inksmith take a truly collaborative approach to working with their clients. This is my seventh time getting work done and it has, by far, been the best experience. October worked with me to not only bring my vision to life but she was able to seamless bring her own artistic style into the process. I’m so happy with the results so far and I’m looking forward to the rest of our sessions. Lots of laughs when I’m there, I feel entirely comfortable with the whole team and there is always a lot of support and care as we go through some of those longer sessions. I can’t recommend this team higher - for first timers or for those that have been under the needle before. This is the place.

Abigail MacKinnon

Hayley did an amazing job with my tattoo, she was great at making me feel comfortable and working to get exactly what I wanted!

Justine

I just got my first tattoo with my sister by Heather and it turned out amazingly. She was very reassuring and informative. She also is just a really easy person to like. Loved the artwork so much, it looks amazing. Highly, highly recommend her. Will be coming back for more in the near future. Thank you!

Juan C .Taborda

Friendly and helping artist. Great place

Vero Roni

So far I've had all my tattoos done at Inksmith and they've all stood the test of time and I still love them. Sometimes communication falters or artists will show up late for appointments, but their work is still solid regardless of those minor missteps.

J was very nice and I could tell that he had lots of experience. I got 2 piercings in my outer conch. It was a relaxing atmosphere and he wouldn't let me get up until he knew I wasn't feeling light headed anymore. Would definitely recommend.

Inksmith was my first experience with tattoos. Everyone there made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Lydia, my tattoo artist, was an absolute delight to work with. We had a consultation about my original idea and she gave me her feedback. When we were finished, she offered to make a stencil of the tattoo I had in mind and I had the chance to keep it on for a few days to see how I liked it. Turns out, I wanted the tattoo shortened (it's a quote) and Lydia worked to squeeze me in for another consult so we could do another stencil to make sure the small size was what I wanted. I loved it! She walked me through the entire process on the day of my tattoo and there was no point in which I was confused or nervous. Lydia was absolutely amazing. The shop was so nice and clean. The other staff were awesomely hospitable. I highly recommend Inksmith and Lydia!

mandy Hayes

Super clean shop! Artists are friendly, talented and accommodating. Couldn't ask for a better shop with quality work!

Beth Green

Walked in to book an appointment and they took me an hour later when they had a cancellation. I showed up a bit early for my tattoo and the staff there were super friendly, chatty, and so comfortable to be around. The shop is very clean and a happy environment. They made sure I was comfortable with everything and always checked up on me during the tattoo. I would definitely return to see Heather for another tattoo in the future!

Brandon Horsky

Highly recommended! I've been going to hailey for many years and she is always super attentive and very skilled at what she does. Very clean, friendly and professional atmosphere. These guys don't screw around with your safety! I haven't got a tattoo from anyone else here but Heather and the rest of the staff are amazing!

Robyn Goodfellow

Went in today for my first tattoos and it was a great experience. October made everything so smooth and easy, she was so personable and professional and kind. I'll absolutely be recommending this place to my friends and family. And I'll definitely be back

Hannah Litzen

All of the staff is extremely nice and helpful. Make a nerve racking experience easy and pleasant. They also do amazing work! :) Cant recommend enough (Heather was my artist)

Just Me

Favourite place to get tattooed and pierced. Plan on coming back for a long time. Jay is incredible when it comes to piercing, I had 12 and they were all a pain until I came to him. Hailey is also my all time favourite tattoo artist. Such a comfortable place to be and great environment. As I said, will be returning for a long time :)

Jordan Newton

ILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!????????????????

Rachel Skeoch

Very friendly and clean facility

Taylor Carey

Hailey is a wonderful person. She was so kind and fit me into a last minute cancellation so I didn’t have to wait months for an appointment. She took my ideas for a memorial tattoo and turned them into the most beautiful work of art. The shop was clean, everyone was super friendly and my tattoo was EXTREMELY reasonably priced. I will never go anywhere else, I only wished I had found Hailey sooner! Months later my tattoo still looks fantastic, it’s a piece I proudly show off!

J C (Reckoner)

Went for my first tattoo today, after having a bad experience at another shop. Lydia did my tattoo, a Dutch KNVB logo (will update with photo when the bandage comes off). She made me super comfortable and did great work. Made the experience fantastic and now I'm just thinking about what I'm getting next. Thanks Lydia, you did a superb job :)

Danielle Hildebrand

Wow, just WOW!! Wonderful experience, wonderful staff and beautiful shop! Will definitely be back! Thanks for my amazing new art Lydia!!

Gwen F

I was at Inksmith Tattoos yesterday, for the first time, to get my 3rd tattoo. I heard great things about this tattoo shop so I thought I would try it out. My son had also had a tattoo done there by Lydia and also had a great experience. I was very impressed. I had my tattoo done by October. She was absolutely amazing. She did a fantastic job on my tattoo - a dedication to my Dad who recently passed away. October was professional and very pleasant to deal with. The tattoo did not take long to do as she was very organized before I even showed up for my appointment. The facility is super clean and they follow Covid-19 protocol. I would absolutely recommend Inksmith Tattoos. I had a great experience there. Thank you October and thank you Inksmith Tattoos!!

Jacqueline Bolton
