Reviews of WONDERLAND STUDIOS (Tattoo Shop)

Sabrina Zettell

Wayne is great, get in early because the wait list is long

Matthew Lawson King

Excellent & Professional, Deacon was great! My piercing wasn't offered by any other studio in the tri-cities so I was really stoked! He was personable, friendly, talked me through everything - I'm a very satisfied client and will be coming back for more!

Terri Carter

Wayne is an amazing artist! Will only go to Wayne at Wonderland Tattoo Studio the best of the best!

mandie Debo

Best Tattoo shop in the world, HANDS DOWN!! No. 1!! I Highly recommend to everyone and anyone

Emily Zajac

Very friendly studio. Have had a great experience each time I've been in. Recently had a septum piercing done by Deacon. Talked me through each step, made me feel comfortable and it was near painless.

Sharokina Isho

I had the most professional experience with Deacon. He had the best aftercare instructions, and the care he has is beyond expectations. I got my industrial pierced and I won't hesitate coming here again!

Clorox Bleach

I had a great experience here today. The guy named Deacon helped me with getting my first piercing and he was very friendly and professional whilst also making sure the whole experience was clean and all the things I touched were sanitized properly. He explained all the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do perfectly. 10/10 I would recommend you to come here as they did a fantastic job.

Jade

I recommend Deacon 100% of the time whenever anyone's looking into getting piercings. He's extremely professional and thorough with aftercare instructions and is a lovely human in general. Prices are very fair for the quality you're getting and you won't be disappointed!

Katrina Lawrence

I got another piercing from Deacon. He is amazing. I would recommend him for any piercing. He is friendly and keeps your nerves calm.

Marc Dupont

I went here 2 years ago for a tattoo and they were awesome. I went in today and was a horrible experience. the lady at the front was rude and awkward af just asking her questions on what the next steps are was like pulling teeth and very short with her answers when booking the appointment. I totally felt unwelcomed I took my business elsewhere. Glad I did the next shop was very welcoming to new members. Its too bad all I wanted was a new tattoo. The artists are good but the front desk needs to go.

Rina R. Wehbe

Love them, clean and caring people who do wonderful work.

Suzanne Borghese

Only person in the world we trust to do our piercings is Deacon❣️ Professional, Knowledgeable, Sociable and a Perfectionist which is exactly what you wish ????

Katie Goodfellow

From start to finish my piercing experience with Deacon was excellent. The booking process was simple, and the pre-appointment communication was clear, direct, and well timed. When we arrived at Wonderland we were greeted outside by a lovely receptionist who took time to make sure we were comfortable before Deacon could meet with us. When Deacon came out to do our health checks he noted my pronoun pin and was very cool about it. I felt safe and seen immediately, which is important from someone who's about to alter your body. That vibe only strengthened as the process progressed. In every way and every moment Deacon emphasized clear and informed consent. It's clear that he's passionate about and takes great pride in his work. There was no pressure in choosing the jewelry options. Deacon simply explained the differences in each piece, and let me decide what was best for myself. I appreciate the certainty that the metals used are clean and suitable for my skin, and I felt like I had just enough choice to feel freedom without being overwhelmed. All of the tools used were sanitized in front of me, and I love that it's a fully disposable shop for ultimate health and safety. When it came time for the piercing itself Deacon explained every step, coached me through breathing, and was so gentle and precise that I didn't feel any pain. I'm truly impressed by Deacon and Wonderland. The next time I want a piercing I won't hesitate to call. I don't think the process could be improved.

I didn’t know what to really expect going into my appointment for a tattoo with Wayne. The place looks professional, the price is higher than most local guys, he has a receptionist and he is booked solid for a long time. I had a good feeling about it based on these things but nonetheless you never know because it’s hard for a stranger, who you’ve never met before, guess what you want and what you expect your tattoo to look like. This is where I notice most artists fail. They want to tattoo what they think you want versus what you really want, and some could be fussy about getting them to modify their drawing to your liking. This wasn’t the case at all with Wayne. I sent an e-mail the week of my appointment with pictures and detailed explanation of what I want. I showed up for my appointment, he had the drawing ready with what I requested minus some minor modifications that I requested on the day of, as well as some other things he asked me about what I think and want to adjust to the drawing. It was hassle free, he was more than willing to do these adjustments and any other changes. He aimed to please me and make sure I am satisfied. This wasn’t my first tattoo and for the most part during a session I like to just put my ear buds in and listen to music and occasionally chat a bit. This time it was different, I didn’t put my earphones in once, I talked to Wayne for the whole 5+ hours I was there. He is absolutely a wonderful human being for lack of better words. His input on random topics of conversation is very positive and I’m glad I had the privilege of getting a tattoo from him. His experience and talent speaks through his work and I am looking forward to another tattoo in the future from him. The tattoo I got was a portrait of my beloved dog. He captured in the tattoo all the tidbits I had pointed out that characterized him and it couldn’t have turned out any better. Thank you so much Wayne, you know how much this tattoo meant to me.

Emily Wolf

Great

Johnny A

The team at wonderland studios are professional ,talented individuals. Place is super clean and friendly! You must try them out.

Tara MacDonald

Deacon is fantastic! Explains everything thoroughly and is very helpful when picking out a jewelry piece.

Barbara Magolon

Got a piercing with Deacon and he was so kind. Took the time to go over the aftercare, various jewellery options and explaining the different types of jewellery I already had! Previously also have gotten a tattoo eith Wayne and he was super great! Very helpful with placement and design! Super awesome staff as well!

Lisa Glutting (lisel_pisel)

Love Wayne and his work! He did tattoos for my family and I today (travelled from Ottawa to get them). The shop is clean as is all the equipment and everyone is super friendly. Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re in need of a tattoo (or a piercing)!

Wayne Oneill

Nice new clean professional shop, owned by an awesome artist.

Samantha Bunce

AMAZING❤ So clean and the people are so nice and friendly very comfortable and gental I would recommend to anyone❤

Jason McDaid

Fantastic experience. Friendly, informative service. Didn't feel rushed and Deacon took the time and effort to ensure I was able to be well decided and informed in my choice of piercing, placement, and jewelry. The piercing process was superbly clean, professional and well-executed, and I was given all the information needed in order to keep my new piercing healthy and happy. Thanks a million!

Tess Goris

Deacon is awesome! I did a lot of searching to find a studio and piercer that I trusted to do my septum. Deacon’s work is great, he is super knowledgeable and made the whole experience more comfortable. Totally recommend!

Emma Stainton

As others have said, Deacon was excellent with my 8 year old daughter. Side note: do your homework. I had no idea how expense the jewelery would be. The studs were $40 each ($80 total) plus $40 for the backs of the studs. That caught me totally off guard when it came time to pay. Not the Studios fault at all, just wanted to help another parent out there be aware.

Isidora Laketa

Today was my first time going to Wonderland studios, and after reading all the amazing reviews I see what the hype was about! I had called in to make an appointment, and the receptionist was so sweet and so patient with me. I was really nervous about getting my naval pierced, but thanks to Deacon I felt so comfortable doing so. He clearly and thoroughly explained the entire process to me, and made sure I was ok with everything going on. He was so kind and I will be back soon for a new piercing! Thank you Deacon for making today so easy for me :)

Lindsey F

I did not have a good experience here, I walked in to inquire about tattoos inks and if what they use contains heavy metals mainly nickel. The lady at the counter was condescending and rude had no idea what was in the tattoo ink's they carry and said and I quote " they have never used metal in tattoo ink, like maybe in the 40's or something " I personally wanted to find a place where I was comfortable with and a shop that knows there stuff and didn't mind answering questions. I don't need to be talked down too I don't work in this industry so I shouldn't be expected to know everything and just hand over my money and be ok with what I get.. I would not recommend this place.

Stephanie Jenner

Just got my earlobes pierced here and I was blown away. Deacon was meticulous. I've got a few piercings already and no one has ever been so careful and meticulous. They are very clean and taking all possible precautions in light of Covid-19. Very professional. I'll be back and I will recommend them to others.

Robert Witczuk

Loving this place and all the people that work there...

Kim Doucette (Kimburlee)

Friendly people and inviting environment.

mfletcherg122

Deacon did a fantastic job with my daughter. He was very professional and gentile. I would highly recommend going here for your piercing needs.

LoveNRatties

Deacon is an amazing piercer!!

Zeke CoolRoy

I saw a painting of Waynes and knew right then I found my tattoo artist. Super nice guy, amazing detail and he'll turn what you thought was a good idea into an amazing reality. I've gotten 13 hours of work from him and can't wait for the other 5 I have scheduled.

Jennifer Verellen

Wayne is amazing. He does such great work. He did 4 amazing variations of a tribute tattoo for my sister who passed away and was a big fan of his work. They are the same but each unique. He also made the time for me to do an additional small tattoo. So accommodating, such a great artist and is so good at what he does. You can definitely tell when someone has a passion for why they do. The shop is very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend it.

Sandeep Manku

Thank you, Deacon, for a beautiful piercing! Best one I've had in a "non-traditional" spot. The pic is 5 months after the piercing - no issues whatsoever. Very professional, honest and friendly. Vibe of the whole place is great. Looking forward to being back for more!

Kelsey Turner

They have really cool paintings and the best piercer around, Deacon will make you feel comfortable with any piercing experience. I tell all of my friends it's the only place I trust for a good clean, straight piercing. I have never had an issue with questions, healing instructions, ect. I got a piercing in the middle of my face (on my lip) and he made it perfectly centre with precision and ease that can only come from knowledge and experience. If you have questions or are second guessing getting something done GO SEE HIM!! He will give you suggestions and advice and help you find what you want. He truly values the customers experience, and I promise you will never leave disappointed! ????????

Maryam Hodaie

piercer was so kind and made the environment comfortable and calming. I got my nostril done and all materials were cleaned thoroughly before the process. clear instructions were given for after care. will for sure come back :) also really cool art there I got some spooky cute doll

Arie Dettweiler

Amazing! Hands down THE best place in KW to get pierced! Deacon is awesome! He tells you everything you need to know (and more) about the process, the jewellery and how to keep it clean and heal it properly. His sense of humour and wit are magical, and a welcomed bonus if you’re nervous! I cannot say enough good things about him, his skills and the entire shop. It is impeccably clean, the staff is friendly, helpful and cheerful! Great vibe in there! ????????????????

Tara Wallace

Excellent place to get your tattoo. Immaculately clean and Wayne and his partner are fantastic! Very welcoming.

Paul Rail

Wayne is dedicated to perfecting his craft. After having been referred by a friend, I got a half sleeve done that I had been planning for years and am extremely happy with the results. Wayne was not content until the details and final touches were just right. His studio is brand new and very clean. He is also a down to earth and easy to get along with.

Josh Gaudette

Amazing service. Incredibly professional. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a piercing or jewelry.

Tiana Bentley-Dittmar

This place actually saved me today. I recently had very poorly done piercings get me into a troubling situation and with one phone call, Wonderland Studios had me in and getting fixed up. I am so greatful that the staff was so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They have some beautiful jewellery there- it is not cheap stuff and you are definitely paying for the quality- but nonetheless a great place and I am very greatlful for Deacon, the piercer.

Faith Robertson-Dennis

Absolutely loved the experience I had. I got my septum done and the piercer took great care of me. The total was 92 with the aftercare spray. 30 for the piercing and 40 for the jewelery. And 12 for the spray. Once again, loved the experience and the atmosphere.

Leisha Cameron

Deacon is an amazing piercer !! So cheerful and friendly and crazy informative . Best piercing experience to date!

Josh Miller

The attention to detail is staggering. Wayne really puts everything into his work. I still am in disbelief at how awesome his artwork is. Masterpiece. Thanks Wayne!!!!!

Lau Rie

I brought my daughter here for a septum piercing. Her septum is a bit crooked. The piercer was wonderful and the piercing is perfectly straight. He explained everything to her and she is thrilled with it. The place was spotless and staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this business for piercings!

Brittany Lemay

The people who work here are amazing and kind, loved the style of the studio, very clean and has a comfortable and welcoming vibe which was great. The jewellery selection is fantastic, you are paying for the quality of what you get which is good. Deacon who is the piercer is obviously very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with any questions you may have. I made appointments and was able to get in very quick too which was great. I would hands down recommend Wonderland Studios to anyone and I, myself, will be returning here in the future for pericings, jewelry and jewelry changes. I've been to quite a few of these establishments and I only have great things to say about this place, probably one of my best experiences. 10/10

Jeff B.

Top Notch. Wayne's work speaks for itself. When others didn't want to attempt the cover-up, Wayne didn't hesitate and knocked it outta the park! Well worth the wait if you can get in to see him! Very friendly, very CLEAN, very professional and a talented true artist! This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention the Wonderland Family...Audrey (DD), Deacon (DRWC), Eric (HC) and of course Wayne (TT)!!

Bicky Nguyen

What can I say... FABULOUS!!! Staff is just awesome! They are creative artists who LOVE what they do. Professional, fun & very clean environment. Can't wait to see what the create for me next!!!

Jameson Saleta

Got my septum done here, amazing experience! Can't recommend enough.

Tracy Wright

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Clean. Will definitely return

Sarah Riley

The body piercer Deacon, I have gone to for absolutely every piercing I have ( 12) and he is so wonderful at his job! Such a sweet heart and always does the BEST he can with great quality jewelry!

Indyy93 M

Deacon did an amazing job!! Felt very comfortable and relaxed getting pierced, very thorough on everything he's going to do, and self care after. Wouldn't go anywhere else ????????

Richard Dominey

Very clean, friendly staff!

Kay Fryed13

Always have a great experience at this shop, whether it's for tattoo, piercing, or art. Love the work Wayne does! Just got this beauty, full day of work, but SO worth it!!

Dayna MacDonald

Great experience with Deacon! So knowledgeable and thorough in explaining processes of healing. Amazing selection of high end jewelry!

Devenn Doucette

Amazing experience with their staff and a clean friendly environment. They were happy to educate me on their process and jewlery. I'll be returning here for work in the near future and I highly recommend it to others.

Clara Montgomery

Eric did my work. I came in with a vague idea and he sat with me and created something beautiful and custom with me and this is by far my favourite tattoo. All the staff are insanely knowledgeable, professional and easygoing. I love this place and Eric! Definitely going back!

Princess Barning

I had the best experience here and will definitely be back again! I was pierced by Deacon and he did such an amazing job. He explained everything down to a T. Made sure I was super comfortable given the type of piercing I was getting. He’s super awesome and so is the whole establishment! Would definitely recommend ????????✨

Bailey Wrycraft

I have been going to Deacon for my piercings for almost 4 years now (he has pierced me 8 times) and I will never EVER go to anyone else. Deacon is genuinely the nicest guy, he’s incredibly knowledgeable & professional, and has the ability to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable from the time you walk into the studio, ‘til the time you walk out. The studio is super clean and is always stocked with loads of jewelry options (sometimes so many that it can be hard to choose just one!) for any and all piercings. Most recently I had a couple piercings done that I was extremely nervous about, and I was feeling quite self-conscious going into the appointment. As soon as I entered the studio and began talking to him, that feeling disappeared — it was like I was in the presence of a friend and I knew it was going to be a-okay. Thank you Deacon, for being the best in the biz. I appreciate you so very much and I’ll see you again soon…you know we have lots more planned!

Kiersten Dorey

Deacon was not only very knowledgeable, but super fun and friendly as well. I love my piercings and I can’t wait to come back! I’ll definitely be recommending Wonderland to my friends. Thanks again :)

Kathy Langille

So far I have only had my consultation, but the studio is VERY clean and smells sterile! Staff is friendly, Wayne is super nice and knows his stuff. Cant wait for my next appointment!!!

Melissa Martin

Blown away! I came in with an idea with what I would like for a tattoo, including many specifications. Wayne found a way to include all the details I had been hoping for, and his original watercolour design was more than I could ever dream of. He included everything I had asked for, and went above and beyond all my expectations. Before my tattoo, they made sure than the stencil was perfect and everything was completely sanitary and the atmosphere was very inviting. During, he made great conversation which helped with the pain I had near the end. Afterwards, he made sure that everything was what I had in mind, down to the speckles. A huge bonus was bringing home the original art that he created to design my tattoo. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know! Can’t wait to go back!

Gurminderjit Sandhu

Worst place ever.

Celina Weber

Rides keep getting stuck in mid air

Randall Freeman

Friendly atmosphere, nice clean place, great artists

Tiffany M

I can only comment on the piercing service here, but it is phenomenal. Deacon is amazing, keeps you informed about every step of the piercing process, and everything is very sterile. I’ve been to countless piercers in the past, this is by far my best experience. I had a irritated helix piercing from a hack job from another piercer, and Deacon fixed it immediately. My helix has healed perfectly. Thanks!!

A S

Had such a lovely time here today. Reception was very friendly and helpful, especially since I called a few times prior to coming. Deacon was so awesome, he is a lot of fun and made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. He made sure I knew everything I needed to know and then some, and not to mention I barely felt a thing! If you're looking for a fantastic place to get pierced, look no more!

Dinah Davis

We took our 9 year old daughter to get her ears pierced for the first time yesterday. Deacon was phenomenal with her. He talked both her and us through the types of earrings to buy and why one might be better than the other. When it came time to do the piercing he spoke directly to my daughter in a calm way. When she got anxious before the first piercing he helped her clam down with breathing exercises. She was a champ on the first piercing and cried but again Deacon help her calm down and we took a little break. After about 4 or 5 minutes she said. Hey Mom it doesn't hurt anymore. We moved on to the second ear and there was less anxiety and less crying. She was all smiles just minutes after we were done and we did the big reveal in the lobby with her friend and my husband. The whole time he was very professional and really knew how to work with young kids. I highly recommend using them for piercing at any age! (Note I believe you need to be 8 or older for them to do the piercing)

MacKenzie Lloyd

Very professional and makes sure you have all the information you need.

Seana Turcotte

I had my very first tattoo done here with Wayne and it was an amazing experience!! So attentive to detail, and so calming when doing the tattoo!!! I would recommend Wonderland to anyone and everyone!! Thanks again Wayne!!!

Olivia Taylor

Got some replacement tragus jewelry. Deacon was - as always - helpful, knowledgable, and super friendly!

DronesInTheKitchen

Took our 9 year old son here to get his ear pierced. Deacon and staff were all amazing and we all had a great time and a few good laughs! Definitely returning!

Miles Wallace

Gotten 6 piercings from Deacon, awesome studio and super friendly staff.

Josie Watchorn

Deacon was incredibly professional and friendly. Accommodating and insightful regarding any questions and hesitations. Really happy with my daith piercing - would highly recommend.

Brad Ruttan

Great food and cold cold beer!

Khoral Hare

Deacon of Wonderland has been my go to for several piercings over the years, and his level of professionalism and ability to make you feel that you are in VERY adept hands (because you are!) makes the experience above and beyond expectations! The selection of jewelry there is amazing, and whatever your style is, you will find something that you love! Thanks Deacon, and Wonderland Studios, for bringing a little more bling into my daily life! (Conch and tragus piercings by Deacon, and opal jewelry pieces are both from Wonderland!) If you're on the fence of where to go for your next piercing, look no further!

Courtney Oud

I've now spent about 16 hours getting tattoed by Wayne and they've all been awesome. Everything I've taken him (vague ideas or a bunch of random things I want put together), he's come up with a way to make it better than it looked in my head. The store is bright and clean and just as welcoming when it's your first tattoo (like my mom's last weekend) or your fourth (or more). Audrey at the desk is awesome. The addition of the Netflix option is nice, but you'll probably just end up talking to Wayne because he's got lots of interesting stories - there's neither awkward silence or weird over sharing which I've experienced with other artists. Highly recommend!

Carrie McNabb

Professional and extremely talented!

Melanie Coates

Just got my daith and tragus done with Deacon. What an fantastic experience. Deacon is amazing! Quick, through, and really knows his stuff. I am so happy how it all turned out and I am already looking forward to my next visit!

Sheay The Egg

I got 1 tattoo and 1 nose piercing and my mom got 1 tattoo and we had an amazing experience!!! We had the guest artist Alan and he is so talented and polite!! We both absolutely love our tattoos!! The piercer Deacon is amazing and so friendly and explains in great detail for whatever piercing you’re getting! He is also very talented and I love my nose piercing! Not once did I feel uncomfortable during my experience! The store is beautiful, clean and roomy and the receptionist was super friendly! I’d say it’s worth the price, I will definitely be back again for more tattoos!!

Ayron Sinden

Wayne did an AMAZING cover up, and was reasonably priced considering his quality of work!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone inquiring about a fantastic artist.

ian kuntz

Nice place . nice looking staff

Marissa Posmituk

Just had the most wonderful piercing experience with Deacon Matheson. From the moment I walked in the studio I was greeted warmly and shown a clean space and the most breathtaking display of handpicked jewelry. (Chose a gorgeous gold dagger). The sign off form was paperless and comprehensive, aftercare info was prompt and thorough, every effort was made to make me as comfortable as possible. His operation is immaculate, but don’t take it from me -go see for yourself!

Nadine Krysko

Clean, curtious staff and an impeccable studio! Very friendly and spotless. I had some piercings done and I am in love with them both. See you again soon & I will highly recommend .your business to friends, family and all who will listen

Shawn Reaume

My experience with Wonderland studios have been amazing! They always make sure that I am completely comfortable with everything before we begin. I worked with Wayne twice for both my tattoos and he was extremely professional! The front desk woman was also very sweet and made the experience more relaxing for me. I brought my brother here as well for his first tattoo, which Eric did and he loved it! Overall fantastic staff who is very professional and very passionate for what they do!

Angel DeFrancesco

11/10 experience here. Very clean and professional. A little on the more expensive side but it's definitely worth it! My piercings have healed perfect and I'm obsessed with how they look.

Roger Psutka

This place is the very best! So welcoming and through. Don't look anywhere else.

Garrett Large

Deacon is a great conversationalist and absolutely one of the most professional piercers I've ever booked. Will be returning for future modifications.

Mike Pace

great tattoo shop

Rebecca Longstaff

Lil expensive but like you pay for what you get and what you get here is Amazing service. Deacon is great he pierced my septum working with me to find the size and style I liked. He has jewelry for many price ranges and can even order more in if need be. He takes the time and dedication to make sure your piercing goes in right. He send you all your after care instructions and will answer any question you have. Plus he is funny and nice and very good as coming nerves for piercing 100% would recommend him!

Tim Zinger

From the time I entered the front door, I felt incredibly comfortable and welcomed! The whole vibe and set up of the shop is amazing. Thank you Wayne for the tribute to my mom.

Mark Weiss

Amazing artist, super easy to work with and someone who truly cares about the art they put on people. I would (and will) go back for every new tattoo I get.

Rachel Roy

Got my piercings done here and it was quick and only a little pain. None of my piercings have gotten infected or even swollen. Healed very fast and the whole process was very professional.

Jennifer Heard

Very happy with our experience at wonderland. My daughter got a nostril piercing be Rescan. He was so kind and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, put us both at ease. Definately would recommend this place.

Jack Lesiw

Thank you guys so much ! Had a great time there today, Deacon is an amazing person to have in the piercing industry I highly recommend ! Lots of cost effective & fancier options. Very informative and straightforward. Couldn't have been a better experience!

Alvaro Ballon

Excellent and very professional piercing service

Scott Grondin

Great place. Helpful, talented staff. Very clean.

Karen Campos

Followed Deacon here from another parlor. He did such a great job on my two lobe piercings many many years ago. Today I had a third lobe and cartilage piercing. Fantastic! So clean, meticulous and really laid back. Such a comfortable and chill experience. Explained everything and was very helpful. Front reception was really friendly too. Don't know if I'm going to get anymore piercings but if I do I hope Deacon's around to help. Thanks Deacon!

Ray

One long review so buckle up. Over a year ago I got my septum done at a different shop, a quick session, 10 minutes top. Needle in and out, with the go to horse shoe and little to no explanation on how to care for it. It was also quite the hostile environment. Eventually I took out my piercing because the smell was too much. More than a year later, I do my research and decide to get my septum done again, stumbled upon Wonderland and behold THE place to actually learn about your piercing. The piercer, I don’t know his name, gave me a lengthy narrative (which actually helped me) on how to take care of the piercing properly AND gave me the absolute perfect piece of jewellery for my face. (He also added that the smell is a normal thing and with proper care it shouldn’t be overwhelming) He took the time to find that sweet spot for my septum and might I add, he took the time to thoroughly sterilize everything. His little jokes here and there as well as his very expressive face helped glue the things I needed to remember into my brain. So I can say I won’t forget how to care for it. Overall, the piercer and the front desk girl (so sorry I didn’t get names) made me feel at home and were beyond nice. The girl told me about a few places I should check out while I’m on my trip and the piercer was by far the best I’ve had. Considering I have a decent amount. I’m definitely gonna come back when I have the time to for more piercings, and I 100% recommend Wonderland. Thanks guys for the warm welcome as well as my new piercing I adore.

Robyn Rintjema

Got a piercing here, very clean and follows good procedures! Staff were great, so friendly. Amazing experience all around.

Beth Crouse

Love the location! Deacon is amazing! Super chill and very calming, but also incredibly knowledgeable. He is the only piercer I will go to!

Kaitlin H

We decided to venture out to Wonderland based on a recommendation from a friend here in our city and we weren't disappointed. My nostril was my first piercing as an adult and it wasn't the most fun but Deacon did an excellent job and what could easily be a 20 minute in/out experience, he went above and beyond and did not disappoint!

mya e

Deacon was amazing and both the receptionist and the staff were very kind. It was very professional and the place was kept perfectly clean and sanitized (not just for covid). The price was reasonable and definitely worth it. I would recommend anyone getting a piercing to come here and I will hopefully be returning in the future. Just for reference, I got a nostril piercing.

Smita Meinzinger

Unreal. Super thorough, very professional, but above all, approachable. This is a gem in KW. Was on the fence when I went in, but was quickly reassured about my piercing. Totally recommend! Hoorah for Deacon and the team!

Karishma xx

I had my bellybutton pierced here but it was very crooked and the staff behaved arrogantly. It was so lopsided that u could pierce a straight hole properly centered without intersecting the initial piercing. Although i didnt want to, I had to take it out to heal because no jewelry would sit straight and it was frustrating for me. Deacon offered to repierce it but I didn't feel comfortable doing so and he refused to give me a refund. I spent a lot of money and now have an ugly scar in a wonky position on my stomach. It's been almost 3 months since i took the piercing out and 2 days ago I went to Bad Buddha in Toronto to have it redone, I'd suggest them as a safe alternative. The piercer was extra careful and ensured the placement was perfect. It was also only $20! I would not risk going here for a piercing!

Tara McAuley

Deacon did a fantastic Job with my 3-8 year olds lobe piercings. He was amazing handling the extra emotional care they needed for their fears of the second ear! Made their 8th Birthday extra special! The place was very clean and really cool framed art work on the walls. The procedure was done carefully from the explanation through procedure and post care. Highly recommended for all ages 8 and up!!!

Tanya M

Got my first tat from Wayne and coming back to him for more tats. 100% recommended. Excellence. Thank you Wayne.

s c abt

Calvin

Wayne is a great artist

Jamie Dennis

Have been there for two of my family members to get pierced and both members have absolutely loved the work! Always enjoy going there, the service is amazing, very clean, always talk us through the procedures, helped us pick out appropriate jewelry, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service! Definitely recommend them to anyone who wants piercing or tattoo's done.

Bekah R

Spectacular services! I wouldn't go anywhere else for my piercings. Deacon is a true master of his craft. He goes above and beyond to provide only the highest quality jewelry and sterilization in an extremely comfortable environment. I never have to worry about things going wrong, Deacon will make sure your anatomy is right for the piercing and if not will work with you to find a suitable alternative. Your health and safety is a top priority at Wonderland. Deacon is witty and kind and will calm any nerves you may have about your new piercing. He makes the entire process smooth and easy. I'm a customer for life!

Everything you expect in a studio; clean, friendly employees, quality jewellery and incredible tattoo work. I have gone to other studios for piercings, which shall remain nameless, and had the worst healing in all my 31 years; Deacon makes sure this doesn’t happen! Never cheat on your piercer!

Linda McDougall

Wayne has done all of my tattoos and everyone always compliments me on how great they look! I wouldn't trust anyone else. Deacon is amazing as well. They always make me feel important even though I don't get elaborate tattoos or several piercings. Both of them are the best at what they do and I always recommend them to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings.

Derek Haelzle

Got my first Tattoo and Wayne was amazing. Very clean atmosphere and very professional which made the experience comfortable. Ability to watch Netflix on tv to pass by time. I gave Wayne a starting point and explained what I was looking for and he hammered it home with ease. Thanks again!

Amy Darkes

As soon as we walked in we were impressed. By the end we declared that this was our new go to shop. Amazing experience!

Jacob Stanford

Amazing place, amazing people, amazing work. Wayne is insanely talented and one hell of a cool dude. Best decision I've made having him do my sleeve. Always finds a way to make my ideas even better than I had imagined!

Travis Stone

Wayne did such an amazing job on my tattoo. It turned out way better than I ever expected. He was fast and efficient. I was treated so well. I will be back and would recommend Wonderland Tattoo Studio to anyone looking for a quality tattoo or piercing.

Michelle Bishop

Deacon is hands down the best piercer in town, and the only one that I trust to pierce me or my children. His high attention to cleanliness and sterilization is extremely appreciated, and his easy going, light hearted banter is sure to set you at ease when you might be feeling a little nervous. His knuckles do not lie! Wayne is amazing. He's done at least 4 tattoos on me.. so far.. and I will be back for more. Always clean and focused, he often goes above and beyond to make sure your tattoo is the very best that it can be.

Neelam Angra

Very professional and friendly atmosphere. I had Deacon as my piercer.He was amazing !! SO reassuring and relaxed through the whole process. Highly recommend !! I will be going back for sure.

My daughter got her belly button pierced. Deacon is very thorough and explains everything. Highly recommend

Andrea Reynolds

Great experience! I've got a lot of piercings, but this was my first since moving to KW. I did my research and chatted with a few different piercers. Deacon is absolutely wonderful! He is super laid back and easy to talk to. He's very professional, and is very thorough when explaining everything. This would be particularly helpful if you're a piercing newbie. He's everything you want in a piercer. Audrey is also very lovely! The shop itself is very clean. No concerns at all about cleanliness or sanitation practices. I will say they are a bit more expensive than other shops in the area (though this is also dependent on jewelry chosen). Well worth it though. Think about it: you are trusting someone to literally put a hole in your body. Do you want to cheap out on it and have something go wrong? Or do you want to pay a little extra to know it's done right, the jewelry is high quality, and you can feel completely comfortable with your piercer? I know what I'd choose. Will definitely return when I inevitably decide it's time to get yet another piercing.

Heather Wilson

This place was amazing! They worked around my ID issues and were very kind about the issue as other paces were rude. They also worked with me to find a solution. The Piercer was amazing, thorough and humorous. I will be back for many more piercings and future tattoos!

Kevin Jarvensivu

Just had my 4th tattoo from Wayne.....very cool honest guy... great artist... would not go anywhere else....studio is sweet.. professional.. Enjoy , cheers ✌️

Gwen F

Very clean, very courteous and very knowledgeable staff. The gentleman who did my daughter's ear piercings this time(Sorry, his name escapes me) also did her belly button piercing last year. He was amazing!!!! He explained the entire process from beginning to end....right down to how to take care of the after. My daughter went back to get the ear piercings because she felt comfortable with him. They are being very safe and vigilant since Covid-19. We will be back

Shannon Good

I had my first session with Wayne this past Wednesday and I could not be happier. The excellent reviews for Wonderland Studios and Wayne as an artist are what led me to his shop and I am so grateful they did. He is an amazing artist and listened to all that I wanted and has created a fantastic piece of art that I am so excited to have tattooed on me. The shop is clean, the people are friendly and are incredibly talented. So excited for my next session to finish the tattoo and book another one.

Holly Parsons

The receptionist was very helpful on the phone when my husband and I booked our appointment and gave us lots of great information when we arrived. Deacon was patient and informative and helped us finalize our piercing choices and then our hardware choices. Our piercings look fantastic and we will be back for more in the future!

Chantel Bradley

It was very clean and everyone I came into contact with was very professional. Just got a simple ear piercing but it was done professionally and healed up great, they weren't even sore the next day!

Verna French

D-man was awesome. Very friendly service and friendly staff. Had an amazing experience. Almost had another piercing done through it was sooo easy and fast no pain to write home about. Coming back!

Melissa Saunders

Very clean and friendly!

Lisa Gould

Amazing shop! Clean, professional and SO friendly! My husband had a tattoo done by Wayne and he did an incredible job and is an great guy! Deacon did an awesome job on my piercing!

Sara Clarke

Awesome place

Brandon H

Deacon is great. Very intelligent and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you are well taken care of. Extremely friendly staff and just an overall positive experience. Wonderland Studios really cares about their clients - thank you for such a great experience.

Amy Ojo

Took longer than was necessary to change out a tragus piercing (almost 45mins). Small talk/piercing aftercare instructions is nice and appreciated but it was just borderline excessive and felt more like a degrading lecture than a concerned conversation.

Giasone Italiano

Wayne is great to work with and can create in multiple styles. The shop is very clean and professionally run. It was my second tattoo there in the last 2 years. Nice laid back atmosphere and you can watch Netflix on their Big Screen or listen to music during your sitting.

Sean A

I have had two sessions there with Wayne. First On my right arm went very well, better then I imagined. My second session was for the start of a sleeve, he covered up my old tattoo very well. We had some communication issues in the beginning due to emails and on my part as well (I forgot a few things), but when I went in for my appointment, we got everything the way I wanted (better actually), Wayne has a good way picturing things before they are done. I have a couple more appointments for my sleeve set up, and I’m super excited for them. Super clean, he goes above and beyond cleanliness, I was super impressed by how clean he is with everything. I Don’t know what else to say, but I definitely recommend him, you won’t be disappointed with your tattoo with him.

Mercedes Barrow

Great piercer

Tracey Canavan

I had an amazing experience with Wayne at Wonderland! I was super nervous about how the shop was addressing Covid and if it would hurt and if I’d like the finished product. The protocols in place make you feel completely safe. Everything is super sanitary. Wayne chatted throughout the tattoo and put me totally at ease. The tattoo turned out just as awesome as I imagined! I highly recommend both Wayne and his shop!!

Stephanie Retzler

If you're looking to get tattoos and piercings done in the KW area, this is the place to go. Wayne is an incredible artist and very easy to get along with. Started getting tattooed by him when I was 16 and have never gone to anyone else since (11 tattoos and counting). Have recommended a handful of friends who have all been quite satisfied with his work as well. Deacon is hands down the best piercer in the area and after being pierced by him, you won't go anywhere else. Don't let the prices steer you away as they are well worth what you get. Very clean and professional environment, cool atmosphere in the studio. Honestly just love Wonderland Studios.

Arlene

If you’re looking to get top-notch piercings, you don’t need to look far. I have been at Wonderland Studios twice and the service has been above and beyond. Deacon is super informative, professional and friendly. Happy with my piercing! And the selection of jewelry is of the highest quality. The piercing process was great from the aftercare right down to the actual (painless) piercing itself. Looking forward to getting more in the next few weeks at Wonderland Studios.

Isaac Li

Got my cartilage pierced here, as my first piercing, i have to say the service was exceptional. 10/10

Justin Perron

Good clean place friendly ppl

Stef Ivancic

If you're looking for some awesome ink go see Wayne. His work is amazing and of high quality. I swear by his work and he's great too. Go check out Wonderland Studios, if you want your tattoo done right and extremely well this is the place to go.

Emily Gilmet

This is the best place to get either tattooed or pierced in the KW without any hesitation as well as recommending to friends who want anything done. Audrey is wonderful at the front to talk to. She is very informative and overall just great to be around. Wayne has done all my ink and I trust him completely. His art is meticulous and I'm in love with all my tattoos. He makes you comfortable and his art can speak for itself. I cannot picture going to anyone else for future tattoos. Deacon is brilliant. You can ask any question about jewelry and piercings and he knows it. Incredibly informative and comforting, if you're at all uncomfortable or nervous he is great at helping get over the nerves and overall good to talk to. This shop is great and I cannot see myself going anywhere else for either piercings or tattoos.

Ray McCallum

Excellent quality, would definitely recommend and will be back.

Mylynn Nguyen

I asked them to re-pierce my web and they denied it because they thought I didn't have a web. But how could I have pierced it in the first place if I didn't have one? I guess they didn't want business.

Imogene Stortini

Had a great experience getting my septum pierced a couple weeks ago! The studio was really welcoming and completely spotless. Deacon made me feel comfortable and explained everything he was doing. The piercing looks awesome and is healing nicely thanks his aftercare advice. Can't recommend this place enough for people new to the piercings like me.

Patience Hartford

Professional yet heart-warming, they made the whole experience as awesome as they could in these trying times. Thank you so much ????

Daniel Goodfellow

You only need to use one word to describe this place -masterful-

Fernanda Silveira

Absolutely Amazing!!!! Top level cleanliness and staff is very professional. Great atmosphere displaying amazing pieces of art. This great team makes the experience very positive and comfortable. I recommend wonderland studios to anyone who wants their tattoo to be one of a kind. Piercing services are also top notch with so much beautiful jewelry to choose from. One of a kind studio.

Lainey Ann

Deacon is a star! I had a nostril piercing done yesterday and he did a great job. I was so impressed by his kindness and patience. He answered all my questions and is very knowledgeable, professional and down to earth. He takes care to make sure everything is sterile and safe and has a very calming manner. It didn't hurt much which was a nice surprise. I'm pretty sure that's all about Deacon's skills and not my pain tolerance. The studio is really nice too. It's clean, comfortable and welcoming. Go check it out.

Ashley Paquette

Absolutely amazing experience! Deacon is truly amazing, professional and charming. Takes his time to make sure you are 100% satisfied before doing the actual piercing. I would go there again and again and again. Very happy with my experience

Steve Brewer

Wayne and the crew are awesome. Did 2 tattoos for me. Will return for more.

Melissa Hoff

Had a wonderful experience at Wonderland tattoo studio today . Eric was very professional and my tattoo turned out amazing . My experience was excellent from start to finish . Will definitely be returning for more tattoos !

Emma Goossens

Deacon is amazing. He has done 3 out of my 14 piercings and I will continue going to him. Deacon ensures that all your questions are answered, and not only do you go to get a piercing, but he educates you as well and makes you feel comfortable. As a result of this, an appointment can be 45 minutes instead of 5 like at some other places where they pierce you and send you away. Deacon truly cares about his clients and will help you with any issues you have with your piercing. At one point, I was giving him daily updates over instagram on my fresh piercings and asking so many questions (which he encouraged) and he was so helpful. I could tell he truly was happy to help. If you’re looking to get a piercing that is $30 including jewellery and tax, save your money and go here. You really do get what you pay for. The piercings that deacon did for me were my only ones that haven’t gotten infected during the healing process and all the soreness has gone away within the day I got them. I would recommend deacon to anyone. He not only knows what he’s doing, he is also incredibly helpful and truly cares about each and every person he pierces.

Carrie Shilling

THANKS DEACON FOR YOU HELP THE STAFF ARE WONDERFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

Laura R

Wayne is an extremely talented Artist! I am also excited to see the recent addition of Deacon to this studio.

Kortney Bishop

OMG I love this place! They took me in super last minute for a piercing change. Great atmosphere, great location and even better staff. Would give more stars if I could!!

Kevin Fox

Wayne is great and does awesome work. I would have a hard time going to another studio. Wonderland is bright and very clean. You won't be disappointed.

Lindsay Lane

I cant say enough great things about Wonderland Tattoo. I have had several tattoos by Wayne, and my daughter and I recently had piercings done by Deacon. Both are professional, patient, and truly knowledgeable about their craft. The studio is inviting, clean, professional. Audrey does a fantastic job at making sure everything runs smoothly! Highly recommend to anyone!

Dean Robertson

Wayne is an excellent artist. I love his attention to detail and creativity. I sat for a full day session with 3 more scheduled and Wayne and crew took great care to make sure everything went smoothly. Tattoos are a personal thing - you should look around, but Wayne and Wonderland Studios are highly recommend for a reason. I highly recommend!

Krystal Gamer

They're absolutely amazing!

Ben Hope

Wayne is awesome. My tattoo was intricate and required 8 hrs to get it done. We went past the allotted time, but he was committed to getting it done. I’m very happy with the end result. Highly recommended!

carriayn cooper

I took my daughter yesterday for a piercing and we had the pleasure of having Deacon work with her. He was amazing with her explained everything in ways a 15 year understood and his cleanliness was top notch. We will be back shortly for more work without a bit of hesitation. Further more I will tell anyone who will listen about Wonderland Tattoo for their piecing needs. Thanks again everyone ????

steve thompson

Clean place. Deacon was snippy to my 4 year old who wasn’t on his best behaviour... however I Got my 12 year olds ears pierced and it was $200!!!!! She loves the earrings but IMO really overpriced and she was disappointed we couldn’t afford to get her anything else for her birthday ????

Michelle Ryder

I took my daughter to see Deacon for her nose piercing. He was so professional and walked her thru step by step....it was her first and she was pretty nervous. He spent so much time with us and we left leaving 100% comfortable and now she wants to do her belly button ???? great place, great guy, highly recommend!!

Steve Zettell

Wayne is a phenomenal artist. Great shop. Can't wait for the next one

Adam Russell

I have been going to Wayne for years... I am so happy to see him open his own beautiful shop! He always makes my tattoo dreams a reality with his amazing skill and hospitality. I also have a very out there schedule and Wayne always makes the effort to make my time with him as productive and enjoyable as possible... I could write a 5 paragraph essay on why you should bring your business here but you just need to see it for yourself. Long story short... Get your tattoos here.

Sophie M

Got my first non-lobe piercing with Deacon today and he was awesome. Everything was super sanitary and even now with COVID it felt safe to the utmost degree. He was very thorough in explaining the process, the aftercare, and what to expect at every stage. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and high quality piercing in Kitchener/Waterloo.

Noura Sheikh

Had a great experience at Wonderland Studios! The staff are kind, courteous and exude a relaxed environment. Deacon was very professional, knowledgeable and patient! I also had work done by Deacon 9 years ago. His combined background in biology and piercing gave me the confidence 9 years ago and I was not going to anyone else for the recent work I had done.
