Paul LeCouteur

I've been happily wearing some of Glenn's work on me for many years now when he was at NM in Orleans. Phenomenal artist, I highly recommend him!

Ery M

I loved this place! I got my first tattoo done. Everyone was really friendly, and it was so clean and organized. Definitely recommend!

Banks Berckmans

Amazing tattoo studio. Every artist is highly talented. The staff is amazing. It is so clean in there you could probably get tattooed on the floor and subsequently eat off it. Five stars for sure.

Amanda Moreau

Easy to work with, and got exactly what I wanted.

Desiree

Glen is an exceptional artist and an exceptional human being. Love my tattoos! I will never go to anyone else!

Eileen Wong

I had the best time at Barnstormer. Everyone was sweet, upbeat and professional there. I had my writing tattoo done by Jean Luca who created such a beautiful and delicate piece on my upper thighs. I definitely recommend this place for doing your tattoos!! Thank you to this studio for providing me with the best and most relaxing tattoo session so far! :)

Michel Hermier

Excellent artist

Mallory Jackson

I had such a fantastic experience here getting my sixth tattoo, Seb was super friendly and made sure I was happy with the design/ placement and comfortable. There was only one other person getting a tattoo done so it felt very covid safe and was very clean. I'd recommend Barnstormer to anyone and I'll definitely be back!

Ashley Hird

Always have a wonderful experience here! Sebastian is incredibly talented and will continue going back to him!

Alex

Nate is absolutely ???? % amazing. You have a client for life. Best studio hands down.

Mark's Charter Bus

I had work done by Glen . Excellent place and tattoo.

Nate has a great artistic mind and it flows to the skin like water. His work was flawless in my opinion - from the consultation to the final needle. Sebastien and the others were also second to none. I recommend this place, clearly. Pascal

Jenny Medeiros

Went in for a quick consultation and was pleased with Tom's honesty and expertise. The studio looks clean and specialises in large, colourful pieces. Great place for a worthwhile tattoo.

Glen Paradis is the best!

Barnstormer Studio’s professional and relaxed environment will make anyone feel instantly welcome and comfortable. The shop is very clean and well-maintained. Having spent 16 hours in the chair, I’ve seen some great pieces come from every artist in the shop. Staff is friendly, courteous and always helpful. Regarding my sleeve, I could not be happier. I didn’t have a specific design in mind, simply a film and my favorite moments/characters. Glen’s placement, layout and balance works 100%. Not to mention the quality of the work itself, the characters look better than their film counterparts. With fantastic attention to detail, Glen is a very talented individual who I’ll be going back to for years to come.

Virginia Gaffney

Fantastic experience as per usual! Nate is super talented...have 6 of his works of art so far, all fun and different yet cohesive. Super clean and hygienic, warm and friendly with badass art on display. A+++++

Have had multiple pieces done here over the last few years. Great friendly staff and phenomenal work.

terrific pet care

Everyone at barnstormers was awesome!! Seb was the one to do my tattoo. He did amazing work, super friendly and makes you feel comfortable! He did a fantastic job on my tribute tattoo. I will definitely be going back again.

Safia Mohamed

Very friendly service, great atmosphere and outstanding talent. I would recommend anyone to book a consultation and see for your self.

Emmett “Wolf's Bane” Hill

Recently got a small behind the ear tatt by Seb and absolutely love it, it was a walk in but he worked with me to make sure it was up to par almost as if the sesh was a booking! The artists are amazing, they really work with you to make sure the tattoo you want is up to your standard and in the exact position that you want on top of being super personable and warm. Their work is also amazing so you're always in good hands no matter who is doing your ink. Good for walk-ins and great for bookings!

Kieran Whalen

Seb is weird. I like it.

Ashley H

Everything about Barnstormers is awesome, the staff is all kind,friendly and funny! They are very accommodating and patient. Great environment too!

Sammie Marleau

Every single artist here is professional, incredibly talented, and humble. Great vibe, sense of humor. The art is amazing, beautiful shop all around and very clean. I have been seeing Seb regularly, giving him an idea he can run free with and I have been so happy, especially with a cover up. He's given me art i am so proud and confident to wear. Staff remembers you, and really care about what they do and it means the world.

Wonderland Studios

Barnstormer is an amazing studio! A great place to get a unique tattoo from experienced professionals who know their stuff!

Matt MacDonell

First time getting tattooed and Nate was amazing! Definitely going back for more work! Thanks Nate????????

Josh P

Great experience for a first tattoo

Big Boy

worst experience working with these peoples. The only thing that was cool was being paid in cash

Shane Belanger

Amazing place and atmosphere. Excellent work by Glen!

Perry Thompson

Friendly, helpful, and happy to work with me to create my ideal piece

Deanne Ethier

This is the best place in the city for ink. Nate really took the time to explain what he was doing and why, as it related to my design choice and I ended up with a spectacular "last tatt". Thanks Nate.

Nico Hopkins

Incredible experience here to have any ink done. It is a really cool shop and Glen, Christian, Nate and Tebe are awesome dudes who master their craft. Had the pleasure of working with Christian multiple times on a sleeve as well as a forearm piece. He is an incredible talent and an awesome guy. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to get a tattoo.

Matt

Just got a tattoo here tonight from their apprentice, Seb. Awesome shop! Great group of guys who work here. Glenn, the owner, overlooks all of the work done and he approved my work done this evening. Very cool little shop and would recommend anyone if they're looking for a new shop/ artist. Check them out on social media!

Sydney Shaw

Had a so-so experience at Barnstormer studio. There were a few things I wasn't happy with: -I wasn't given a quote during the consultation and had to ask how much it would cost right before getting the tattoo (which seemed a little weird as well as unprofessional...) -Wasn't told that they only take cash -Felt as though I was being rushed through my tattoo Overall i'm satisfied with my tattoo, it could be a bit more crisp and even but i'm happy with it. However, I don't think I would recommend this tattoo parlour to my friends especially if they are thinking of getting their first tattoo here. They didn't do a very good job of giving me a clear understanding of the tattoo process as a whole and I left feeling like they only cared about taking my money rather than checking/making sure I was fully 100% satisfied with my tattoo. Tattoo: 4/5 Experience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5

William Laing

Great atmosphere!

Stephane Drouin

So cl an and very professional

Kevin Dykstra

Friendly and funny staff. An absolutely great experience. I waited quite a while to get into see Glen but it was WELL worth the wait. My tattoo turned out amazing. I've already had a lot of comments. I was also impressed by how quickly he was able to do a coloured half sleeve tattoo. LOVE MY TATTOO!!

Cara M

I got my piece done by Christian about 8 months ago and I love more and more every day. Christian is a wonderful artist and the whole experience was great. The atmosphere of this shop is like no other. The staff were so outgoing and it felt like hanging out with friends.

Lance Nickel

Great guys, great artist, great tattoos!

Dennis Le

This is a great shop, with extremely competent and professional staff. I'm always satisfied with the work I've had done here, and will definitely come back here for any future projects I'm looking to have done. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. I've been fortunate enough to work with two of the artists here - Glen, the owner, as well as Christian. Both were very attentive to what I was looking to have done, and were great throughout the entire process. I would recommend Barnstormer to anyone looking to have a new tattoo done in a heartbeat.

Ryan Hicks

Hands down best shop in the world....

Sir Strax

Glenn is the best artist and person in the world! PERIOD

ethan rudd

If you are looking for a Tattoo in the Ottawa area I do not have enough good things to say about this place!

Adam

You literally can't go wrong here. Everyone at the shop is welcoming and warm and does top quality work! Better than any experience I've had at other shops in Ottawa (and my other experiences weren't bad)

Evan Lloyd

Best shop in town. Nate rocks!

Alex Lloyd

Awesome guys, all do amazing work.

jennifer Gidley

Had my first tatoo done by Nat. Highly reccomend very personable.

Mataya Pasley

Been to this studio twice in one week! They’re really great and friendly. It’s clean and comfortable! Sebastian was awesome and actually kept up a constant communication via email. My friend and I loved his work and would go back 100% for him!

Miss Cooper

Aweful line work, this shop is monkey business. Glen paradis is good with monkeys only, his black and grey and realistic are aweful. The tattoos fade right quickly. N8mcdonald’s Japanese work is lame, no style no originality and again their lining is the worst and he has SUCH A HEAVY HAND. Aweful tattoo parlor in Ottawa.

Krista Poirier

I've been seeing Glen for years for my tattoos. Love his work and the studio!

Andrea Fatona

Nice clean studio. Seb is an excellent tattoo artist!!
