Got my septum pierced here, I was excited as I have wanted one for a very long time. The piercer was very nice and it was super welcoming. The problem was when she pierced it and the results. I was uncomfortable during the piercing and the placement was terrible. It is too low and crooked. I have to get it repierced at a different place now. I would not recommend getting septums done here. I cannot speak on other services because they may be great and based on the portfolio tattoos seem wonderful. Please look further into these things before getting it done. I learned the hard way haha.
Me and my friend went there to get our tragus's pierced. We were a walk in and got in right away. They were very nice to us! Everything was very sterile and us being dental students we look for that! The piercing was fast and she was great answering all our questions! Will go back if I ever wanna get another piercing!
Niece had a problem with a piercing and they were able to get her in right away. Very fast and friendly!
The lady was super nice and pierced my nose very quickly and did not hurt at all
I have been to Julia for 5 different tattoos (in 3 sittings) and she's always been fantastic. She listens to what you want but also gives great recommendations and comes up with excellent designs that will look great. She's extremely detailed and extremely efficient with the time. I'm happy with all my tattoos and I will continue to go back to Julia and her team at Julia Body Art.
Wonderful lady and quality work
Wife and I had booked an appointment for tattoo sessions together to have our kids name's done up on a reference from a friend. I was nervous as it was my first tattoo. Amazingly done work never would regret getting more tattoos done with Julia. Fast forward 3 years the tattoo still looks as amazing as it did when it was all healed up. Clear crisp lines nice and even with nice fill in. I know it's not a giant work of art but it means the world to me and to have it done right all the better. I have been planning on memorial tattoo for my father and I wouldn't go anywhere else. To all you negative reviewers eat a d**k, you all sound like you want to blame someone else for you lack of planning or poor care or poorly planned work. Especially 1 star rating with no explanation.... some people's children... end of rant. Keep up the good work Julia and I plan to see you soon.
Cheap and clean and quiet (:
Love these guys! Super professional and really sweet. Not to mention talented!
Very gentle with my nose piercing
Great service very helpful with the aftercare process
I've never had a tattoo that healed so well. Little to no peeling, no itch, no scab. Amazing work. Julia has a great personality and knows what she is doing. Really happy. Will go back.
I went there for 3/9 of my piercings and they have all turned out great and the people there are so nice An they have really good prices and it's super clean 10/10 recommend
Now I obviously cannot speak on their tattoo work however if you're thinking of going here (especially for a septum piercing) please DON'T. GO ANYWHERE ELSE. I came to Julia two years ago to have my septum pierced. I was rushed through the whole process. Julia herself did not talk to me about anything. She did not allow me to see the placement of where she was piercing me (Yes, any reputable place will allow you to check the placement for ANY type of piercing). I would have been able to see the dots and where they were placed. While piercing me she stopped part way through rudely telling me that my scrunching from the pain was bothering her (she was being quite rough and yes piercings hurt but there's a right and wrong way to do things). I was scrunching because unbeknownst to me since she DID NOT ALLOW ME TO VIEW THE PLACEMENT, I was pierced through my cartilage (septum piercings are done through the skin inside your nose), and it was done way to low. She did not tell me what gauge I was being pierced at or the jewellery type she had used/its materials and I am allergic to most metals so this was a big concern but she was rushing so I just hoped for the best. I also did not get any information on how to care for my piercing. Unhappy with my piercing placement they took it out and Julia repierced me for free a second time which I was grateful for and she was much kinder the second time around. She asked me where I wanted the placement (the proper placement of where a septum piercing should be) but when I showed her she moved it downwards saying that that spot would be too high (this was due to her piercing me with jewellery that was far too small because she had pierced me far too low the first time) so again she pierced me through cartilage. Because of this I had a septum piercing that wouldn't heal for over a year (not to mention jewellery I had to throw away because of my allergy) until I just finally took it out. I'm now waiting to go to Eye of the Lotus to have it repierced by someone who knows what they're doing.
Very clean and professional!
This is the only place I will go for a tattoo! Ying is amazing! Her attention to detail and skill is impeccable! I get so many compliments on how beautiful they are and where I went to get them done.
I love this place. It is so sanitary and clean. Julia and her other tattoo artists are so nice and i always go there for my tattoos and piercings. 10/10 would recommend (and have) going to this tattoo shop.
Professional artist and also friendly.
My first time at this place, and I must say Julia did an amazing job! There was another lady there too who I didn’t quite catch her name but both are very sweet and talented artists! Would recommend to anyone
It was my first time getting my sleeve done by Julia an she's amazing. I absolutely love my tattoo an love how well she did. She took her time in explaining what she was going to do an made sure I was comfortable, an the other tattoo artist ying also came to keep us some company. I felt so welcome an didn't feel like their was a language barrier. I would recommend Julia Body Art to family and friends anytime. Thanks for the great experience. Can't wait to come back for my finishing touches.
I actually knew of Julia when she worked at Orchid before, I had gotten my nose pierced there. I remember going in after it closed up on me when I took it out for an hour and she basically repierced it for the cost of changing the ring ($10). Then I had a friend get a sleeve done at her new shop and when she mentioned Julia I remembered that moment and knew I was going to see her to get my tattoo done. She brought my vision to life and I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. Thank you Julia :)
George is an awesome artist go see him
My daughter and I went and had a tattoo done and I have to say, Julia is so friendly, knowledgeable, and a very good artist. I would recommend her to anyone. I will definitely be going back. My experience was FANTASTIC! !!!
Great artists, calming environment. Decent prices for piercing and jewelry. I went in to have nose rings changed, in and out in 10 mins.
Friendly great tattoos and super convenient as you can message them on facebook and they response really quickly!!
This is my first tattoo and Julia did a fabulous job! During the consultation, when she saw my design, I liked how she knew right away how long it would take(it took about 4 hours, she was correct). Communication coming up to the appointment was crystal clear and straight forward. She was extremely professional and the tattoo session was painless, except when she was shading the roses, which is expected. And I liked that she would do piercings in the middle of the session so that there would be short breaks. I would absolute recommend going to Julia's Body Art and getting a tattoo by Julia :) I wish my moving date was later in the year so that I could go back and get another tattoo from her!!!
Julia is the most amazing lady. She is talented, intelligent, and kind. The shop is beautifully simple and there is a sense of peace being tattooed there. I have sat for hours in tattoo shops all over Canada; I can say with confidence that this shop (and Julia especially) is a gem as precious as jade.
Get my tattoo done from George. He did an awesome job. The place is worth spending your money. :)
Julia, Julia, Julia what an unprofessional businesswoman. Not only did you show up three minutes before the appointment, due to running to the grocery store, and not even properly greet myself and my friend who had come early (we did not ask to be seen early we simply waited patiently). However you also opened up Microsoft word, told my friend to write out the quote she wanted by herself along with picking a font which she had already sent to you a month in advance, while you were nowhere to be found, and laughed at her when she said she had changed her mind about the original piece she wanted when she had told you several weeks before that she only wanted a quote. We would have left if she had not left a $100 deposit. The tattoo did not being until about 5:20. While doing the tattoo on her rib cage, which is insanely sensitive, she politely asked for a break and you asked her if she was serious. Very very unprofessional. You also claimed that you have never personally gotten a tattoo so I find it very unfair that you told her she was “acting like a baby” when all she was doing was asking for a break and wasn’t even complaining. After the tattoo was finished you left the room and didn’t come back for at least ten minutes to the point where I had to come and get you. You also answered the phone while tattooing your client and laughed at the client over the phone and yelled that you don’t have a system. You left no after care instructions as well as threatened to charge for the drawing that she had told you she no longer wanted. While your artwork was good you were extremely rude and did not welcome us at all. I am simply disgusted and will never return or recommend anyone to your shop. Have a good day and I hope that you remember to go run errands after you have a scheduled appointment. The only reason I am posting this review is because my friend is extremely distraught.
An amazing place to go if you want to get piercings and tattoos done. It is a little hard to get a hold of Julia as she is constantly busy being hands-on with her clients but still well worth the time and effort to come in. The several experiences I've had going in here have always been amazing and professionally done. I would definitely recommend it looking here for both piercings and tattoos. Will be using her services more in the immediate future for several different tattoos.
I got my forward helix pierced and I absolutely love it! Also while I was there a lady was getting a half sleeve done by Julia and it looked so beautiful! I'd love to make an appointment and have her tattoo a lion piece for me since I'm a Leo! I didn't get to meet the other staff that day but an employees daughter was there and she was very chatty and sweet and distracted me for the pain of getting my helix pierced!
Love the shop and everyone in the shop
We had a great experience here! We were looking for a shop to do two small tattoos on impulse. We had to send in a reference picture over Facebook before they accepted us and we got them done same day! Even showed up super early by accident and we were accomodated. I was amazed how much work was put in for a walk-in, going over several size and design options for the tattoos. The pricing was amazing too. We're both super happy with the end result and would definitely recommend this shop!
amazing service, really good and clean. Great people to talk too. Would recommend
I booked my tattoo 3 weeks in advance. When I showed up for my scheduled time ying wasn’t even done drawing what I wanted. When she was done it looked exactly like the stencil I provided . Poor line work. Shaky lines and the NW the N was tattooed upside down. She took the idea that I wanted her own personal touch on and just copy and pasted the idea. Wasn’t finished and I hate it
Very well priced and Julia is the only piercer I trust.
Its very difficult to inquire about a piercing when the front end staff doesn't speak English.
I went in to get my septum done and she accepted walkin's. I was in-and-out within half an hour. Absolutely loved the customer service. 10/10 would recommend.
love it. julia was very nice and drew it very well just how i liked it. great price too!
Absolutely poor customer service, Julia is very unfriendly. I highly don't recommend this place!
Julia was super kind with everything and I especially like the reasonable prices and her warnings before piercing my ears.
The only place I got all my piercings, safe, clean and staff is great. Prices are good and at least for me, the piercings were not painful.
julia was very helpful with my friend when they were getting their lip pierced !!
I showed up wanting to get my conch peirced I was seen right away, no appointment, and was done very quickly, they asked where I wanted it and listened. Very good service, will be coming back for more piercings.
I was previously tattoes by Julia at a different shop andshe does amazing work. Very professional, flexable with accomidating her client and provided a friendly welcoming enviroment in her beautiful shop. Clean artisit procedures followed and highly reccommended.
It was fine. I got a vertical Labret. It was a little rushed and the piercer never went over how to clean and take care of it. He just gave me a pamphlet and saline spray. I just wanted to ask this.. the top of my labret sits in between my lips and it’s a little uncomfortable + it’s hidden. I just got it done yesterday, and it’s swelling. I was wondering if this would go down in a few days, or will I have to get it redone? I really don’t have the money to get it redone.
I called ahead because I was desperately looking for someone to just put my septum jewelery in. She said come on down and I got there, her lovely staff had me settled and she had it finished in 2 minutes and didn't even charge me!! I was going to have to pay $15 at unfortunate other place. THANK YOU! I'll be back :)
This is a wonderful shop with amazing artists! Great experience!!
Super knowledgable and friendly! Got a double helix done there and will definitely get future piercings here! Really nice facility. Relaxing environment with a homey feel.
i will always go see julia if i want a new piercing! i’ve trusted her with many parts of my body and all my piercings have come out great! they heal nice! she’s super quick, efficient and just gives you an all round amazing experience!! i’d definitely recommend her to any and all of my friends! thanks again julia!!
I have been going to Julia (owner) before she opened her own shop. I have had new tattoos, cover-ups (she is excellent at this!), even a couple piercings done (rates vary, based on piercings). I've recommended this place to my family, and co-workers. The shop is ALWAYS very clean, and the staff is friendly. Have plans to return...!
Great artist!!!
Julia is an amazing artist. Friendly staff. Very clean. Welcoming environment.
Got my first face peircing there, absolutely amazing. They have an environment that feels so safe and home feeling. Plus I had someone hold my hand which made me feel happy
Very friendly staff and very quick.
I only get my tattoos done by Ying or Julia. Love their work and they are always very kind. They are very inviting and helpful.
Julia does amazing work! Atmosphere is definitely comforting and she is super friendly. Thanks for the beautiful tattoos Julia...
I got a helix piercing by Julia, she was amazing to work with, and a great conversationalist. She made sure the position of the piercing was where I wanted it and then helped me chose between a hoop or stud earring. She was very professional and the pricing of the piercing was very reasonable. Julia ody Art also offers an aftercare cleaning solution for $10, I would definitely recommend here if you want to get a piercing.
Julia is an amazing artist with a beautiful personality I would definitely go again
Very cool spot and great artists
I got my nose pierced there about a month ago. It’s healing good and they do not give you a cleaner but I just use alcohol swabs. She was really nice about it and really fast:) very professional and nostril piercing is only $50 including stud which is a good price :) definitely recommend
I've gotten 7 piercings done here and I wouldn't go anywhere else Julia is so kinda and so talented. I HIGHLY recommend this shop.
I had my nostril pierced by Julia. I had previously had 2 studs and only kept one in. She was able to identify the previous hole and made expert placement and jewelry size recommendations, including for my existing piercing. The shop was squeaky clean and she was very professional and confident and made me feel so comfortable with her process. Cannot wait to go back!
Went here just yesterday! Was awesome service, clean, and overall a good price. I had got my ears peirced and it hadn't hurt one bit! Recommend 100%.
Julia is my girl! Absolutely love and adore her to the fullest extent. Busy lady but knows there is work to be done. Very sweet, very kind, she runs a business that allows you to feel like you’re seeing your friends again after a while, and that’s why I keep coming back! She loves to see the aftermath of her work and is always ready for more!
Took my 2 and a half year old daughter here for her ear piercing. Great experience. My daughter was a champ and the appointment was quick and very reasonably priced. Whether or not you come here, I highly recommend taking wee ones to a proper piercing shop where you're dealing with professionals. Julia's is great! I've now been here myself and taken my daughter in. Highly recommend.
amazing
I went in to get my ear lobes pierced about two weeks ago. Everything went good, I was able to see where he wanted to pierce to confirm I liked it which I noticed some other reviewers said wasn’t an option for them. They gave me a spray to go and a piercing care pamphlet and I’ve had no problems since then. One thing I will note is that the jewelry that was put in is curved as some other reviews also talked about. My friend said it looked like something they’d typically use for an eyebrow piercing or something. Not sure why this was chosen or why everyone’s getting these curved guys, but thankfully because I only got my earlobe pierced it’s really not a problem for me.
I got my nose pierced here and plan to continue going to julia for more piercings in the future, its very clean and shes gentle, she gives warning before piercing and made sure i was okay through the whole thing.
Couldn't say enough good things. Very clean, kind and respectful ???? wait time was minimal and prices are really good.
They did piearcing for my 1 year old. I would say they did an amazing job. Very good place to go. Resonable prise and very safe and clean technique.
Went to get a consultation and can't wear a mask due to medical reasons, said they can't tattoo me. Had $3000.00 cash on me, I guess my money isn't good enough for them. And no offer was made for after covid (which could be years) i was just pushed out the door.
While Julia used good technique for piercing my nipples last January, she uses EXTERNALLY threaded CURVED barbells. 9 months in I needed to go get them changed to internal straight threads at Atomic Zombie because the curvature and quality of metal was extremely sub par. Had I been wiser I would have gone to a place that doesn’t use low quality and inappropriate jewelry.
My daughter went for her septum piercing. Julia was great, and was very personable
She was very quick, i was happy to get in and out for my piercing quick, but i wish she wouldve talked to me a little more and aaked questions about my preference.
Great experience. Was my first time getting a piercing at 31 years old lmao. She popped my cherry good and was very professional about the entire experience. Prices are fair as well. Definitely coming back!
Took my daughter to get her nose pierced and get my umpteenth tattoo and Julia was hands down the best I've been too. Gentle hands and an amazing quality of work.
What a nice experience ???? walked in today for a nose piercing. Quick and great service... 2 thumbs up
Great place, very professional and prices are the cheapest I've seen in the city! Piercing cost includes jewelry as well.
They are a wonderful place for tattoos very kind people and an wonderful environment I definitely recommend this place for peircings/ tattoos
Julia's shop is VERY neat and she's very accomodating. I feel like I instantly have a friend in her. Being me and my friend got our tattoo's impulsively, it made us very comfortable! She's great and my tattoo looks amazing!
We came to Edmonton for a girl's weekend and got matching sister tattoos by George. We LOVE our tattoos and George was awesome. Even came in on his day off so we could be tattooed when we were in town. Very friendly, professional and VERY good at his job! All the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth the drive from SK. I will be back!!
this is regarding the phone call an how i was told the artist left
Love the shop, the shop atmosphere and the clients.
Loved every experience ive had at Julia's, and it's been many. She never fails to make me smile and laugh even through all the tattoo pain! LOL... she makes me feel right at home at her studio and somehow knows exactly what i need and want. Can't wait for another tattoo! XOXO
I needed a piercing removed for an mri on labour day and no one would take me in. She helped me as soon as she could, made it safe, clean, welcoming and professional. Definitely will be coming back here in the future. :) thank you julia !!!
was a nice experience
I brought my son here for his first piercing Julia was so nice and helpful. Thanks;)
Love this place!!! Julia and her team are amazing. We drive from Calgary to always see her. Highly recommend
Love this place!!! Julia and her team are amazing. We drive from Calgary to always see her. Highly recommend
got my first tattoo here, julia is very friendly and understanding to clients needs (: no problems whatsoever, studio was clean and organized! would highly recommend julia’s body art !
George was amazing, I'm so happy with his work!
Julia is the only artist I'll let work on me. The shop is super clean, Julia is well informed of both tattoos and piercings. She spends time and attention to each piece and always offers her best advice. Been here three times now, and will be back many more.
Got my first tattoo there, and Julia was great, her work is beautiful. I am looking forward on going for my second!
I took my youngest daughter to have her ears done. It was fast and julia was great all my body arts needs definitely belong to julia's body art
Unfortunately I Have To Give This Place 1 Star For Their Piercing Skills. I Had My Tounge Incorrectly Pierced By Julia About 2 And A Half Weeks Ago. It Was Pierced Crooked Through The Muscle, To Far Forward And With To Short Of A Bar. I Was Never Shown In The Mirror What The Piercing Looked Like And I Was Rushed In And Out In 10 Minutes. When I Got Home To Look At It I Realized She Totally Missed The Dot She Had Made For A Marking Point. I Now Have Spent 70$ On A Wasted Tounge Ring That I Have To Go And Spend Another 90$ To Be Repierced Correctly. They Offered To Repierce It But I Have Lost Trust In Them. If You Cant Do A Piercing Properly Please Just Dont Pierce People. Wish I Could Get My Money Back. ????
Wow!!!! Super clean shop. Julia was SO friendly and was the BEST piercing experience I have ever had. I got 5 ear piercings and my 2Nd Monroe. Highly recommend for piercings and she's a tattoo artist as well. To the guy who said cash only, he is wrong. I used debit to pay. #Edmontonpiercer #yegtattoo #Edmontonpiercingshop #Edmontontattooshop
I had my first tattoo done by Ying and she did phenomenal! 3 years later, she touched it up and I am not dissappointed. Highly recommend!
Actually I did shop all of these places in a matter of 2 days lol not fake at all hahaha I read some of your replies to other reviews and seems like you have a hard time with criticism. Maybe take some of the reviews and see how you can do better. Thanks for your quick reply
Such a nice clean shop really friendly my experience was comfortable and the customer service was on point. Really great shop and staff. I will be jack for sure
I went went to Julia's tattoo shop and I got a chest tattoo done. The tattoo came out amazing! Julia took her time and I am very happy with the result. She's very talented and her staff also are amazing. I would recommend this shop to everyone. If you want great work for a great price, come see these people!
I have been going to Julia for years. I have had a couple tattooed done by other artists, and I have been extremely happy with all of them however Julia's honestly been the best. I have had my others touched up and fixed thanks to her, I have added a large amount of artwork to my body and it has all been done by her. Everyone is constantly commenting on it and giving me compliments on how nice it is. I always say who it's done by and where she is. I will not go to anyone else for my piercings as I know she's the cleanest, safest and fasted out of all places I have been. Julia's shop is well maintains and she's a great lady! Thanks Julia !
Very informative. Great with customers
After talking with my girlfriend who went here to get her septum pierced this place seem incredibly unprofessional. She spent some time looking over the reviews and decided to give the shop the benefit of the doubt, but it turns out that all of the 1 star reviews were spot on. Julia seemed cold and detached as well as not terribly personable. When my girlfriend attempted to ask questions before getting the piercing Julia only rushed her decision along rather making her feel comfortable about being stab through the face. While prepping the piercing she didn't allow my girlfriend to see where she had marked before executing it. Not to mention she didnt prepare her for the piercing to happen (where as most piercers will prepare you by having you take a breath). During the actual piercing itself she stopped halfway through the process (to do God knows what) before continuing once again with no warning. She was incredibly rough while inserting the jewelry. After the piercing was finished instead of talking her through aftercare Julia just tossed a pamphlet at her. Afterwards Julia insisted that she pay with the cash she saw in my girlfriends wallet even though she requested a couple of times to pay by card (there was an available card reader which seems incredibly sketchy and unprofessional). Over all this was a negative experience and she won't be returning or recommending this place. Do yourself a favor WEM is less then 10 minutes away with better shops to choose from. Edit: This is a response to the owners reply. I have no clue what the story about the 4 teenage girls has to do with my review. It was a nice way to try and put the blame for your shotty work and poor customer service on a fake story. No when my girlfriend was in your shop she was the only one there. As for the "take a breath" thing goes every single piercer that I have talked to since says they do it that way. They say it's a way to prepare the customer for the pain because that breath is easier to deal with than a flinch from the pain.
Love the simplicity of this shop, clean and inviting. Yesterday George gave me the most beautiful humming bird watercolour tattoo to cover an old scar. Amazing work highly recommend George he made the tattoo come alive. Will definitely go back for more work thank you George
Julia was great, I will definitely be back!
We called Julia body art asking to come in for 3 small tattoos and the person on the phone had told us it was possible to get it done. Once we got their she had told us we weren’t able to get 2 out of the 3 tattoos we came for so my friend couldn’t even get one done. It was very poor service, and we would have saved a lot of time if we were told on the phone in the first place...won’t be coming here again.
julia has a clean, like immaculate, shop and has a good demeanor that makes you feel reassured and confident
I took my daughter there to get her nose pierced and was pleasantly surprised at how quick it was. We walked in with no appointment and was out in 5 minutes! The prices are great and included the jewelry which some places charge you extra. It's a clean, professional and friendly little gem of a shop! A great experience for my newbie! Thank you Julia! ????
She stayed open a bit late to wait for me to arrive. She was very quick and professional. Fairly priced.
love the owner. shes fast and proficient. very professional
Amazing place , great customer service , great artists that work with you , great price . Private rooms ,attention to detail /requests . 5☆☆☆☆☆ all around . try them , you will be glad you did .
If you want a tattoo this is the place go see Gorge
I was nervous about getting my first tattoo, especially it not being a small one. Julia made me feel very comfortable while I described what I wanted. Her design was exactly what I wad looking for. She was very professional and easy to talk to. Her shop is clean and comfortable. She is very gentle and genuinely wants the experience to be as painless as possible. I was extremely pleased with the finished product. Her work is beautiful. I would recommend this shop and Julia to anyone. Thank you, Julia, for making my first tattoo experience a great one :)
I would highly recommend Julia to anyone! Her detailing is on point and has great incite on what can make your tattoo even better then you could have imagined. I'll be coming back time and time again. Thanks for the great tattoos Julia!!
Had to find help to get a new nose piercing plus very few choices for a screw type
Took my daughter here to have her ears pierced and then again a couple of months later to have her nose pierced and both times Julia put her at ease and made the procedure as painless as possible. The workmanship was top notch and I would highly recommend
Love it!!! Will always come back
Fantastic tattoo experience! Less than 2hrs, got exactly what I asked for! Julia's professionalism, delightful conversation, lighthandedness, made the whole experience so much fun! Can't wait for my next experience!????????????
Amazing artists , very clean , professional and fun ! Julia is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met and is always willing to work around my schedule and fits me in whenever she can. Here are some of the pieces she has done for me over the years
Had my first tattoo done here. Was an amazing experience. Service was top notch too. Tattoo was well done, healed well and 3 years (and 2 kids) later still looks amazing! Would recommend this place to anyone looking!
Julia is fantastic with piercings. I trust her work and she is very knowledgable and is honest. Getting a tattoo this week and so excited, she was fast with the design and fast with booking me in.
Julia is my go to tattoo artist! She is always honest and is incredibly creative/talented. You can present her with a simple idea and she always manages to put her own style into it making it truly unique. Highly recommend Julia and her staff. Ink always come out incredible :)
Been getting tattood from George for years. Always does a quality job.
I got a couple of piercings here. Two of them are great, but my septum is crooked.
Ying is a incredible artist and you can tell she cares deeply about her work! She gave me exactly what I wanted and was super friendly! She did a amazing job on my tattoo and will definitely be coming back. Thanks Ying
My daughter and I went in to have our noses pierced. They were really professional and knowledgeable and got us in quickly and their prices are better than most
I wish I could give more stars, Julia is really humble and professional. She had no appointments available for next two weeks but she was able to squeeze me in. The place is clean and well maintained. All work was performed under strict hygiene. Glad I found this place.
Quick. Clean. Stretched a cartalige piercing with no pain.
First time here - LOVED my experience!! Amazing line work! Have definitely found my new “spot” Thank you Julia!!! ????
Julia is the best! I’ve been coming to see her since 2015, she’s the only human I’d ever let touch me. Go show her and her shop some love!
A little hard to find but most gems are. Great lady very friendly
Julia is the best tattoo artist that I have ever seen. Her work is very clean and precise. The colors of my tattoo are vibrant. Highly recommended.
Julia has an amazing personality, is very kind and always understands what I want to get for a tattoo. She also always gives me her opinion on it and it has been very good input every time and has made the tattoo I get look even better. She also has a good sense of humor and is fun to talk to while she is tattooing you, I highly recommend her.
I’ve had two tattoos done here by Julia. The first I was very happy with, the second was not placed centred on my back but I didn’t say anything because at the time I couldn’t tell. Yesterday I brought my friend to get a septum piercing for her. Goergian didn’t check or mark the area, just grabbed the needle and went for it. It was awful, but instead of denying he could do a proper piercing he went in a second time still without pinching, marking or feeling to find the correct position again. The second one, although not as bad as the first was left hanging extremely low and off centre. When she asked him about what was up with it his response was “your nose is just crooked”. Needless to say I’m angry with what happened, genuinely disgusted by his attitude and remarks. When I find time I will be coming in to get a full refund as she didn’t express her concern or dislike for it until we had left. My friend is distraught to the point where she won’t come in with me to do so. Please do not let Goergian pierce you if you want your stuff done properly and professionally. Hope this was helpful for those of you looking to get piercings or any work for that matter done here.
I luv this Lady. She has spent many hours tattooing me, beautiful work and great company. If you are looking for top quality work in a professional friendly setting this is the place.
I just got ear piercings from Georgian and was awesome experience I recommend everybody go here.
My sister and I came in for tattoos today, and although we did have to wait a while, it was completely worth it. George was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and did a phenomenal job at both of our tattoos. Julia was very sweet and it was very apparent that they care about their clients. Highly recommend.
Got my tattoo done here by George. They took me in as a walk in and I really enjoyed my time there.had great conversation and the place was very clean and taken care of. My tattoo turned out awesome. Will be returning! (Dont mind my hand tattoo that one needs a redo and was not done here!)
Excellent service. No freezing which is preferred as it is much less painful for healing. Very experienced piercer. The service was fast, efficient, and I am extremely happy with the results.
I've been going to Julia for about 9 years now, she's done most of my tattoos and all of my piercings! She's amazing at working around your schedule so you can get an appointment. Her work is outstanding, she's quick, polite and the conversations are always something to look forward to. Overall this shop is incredible, clean, reasonably priced and the artists are so sweet and great at what they do. Would highly recommend. ????
I wanted to get my lobes pierced and Julia's Body Art has got to have one of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had the privilege of receiving. Aside from the very affordable prices that don't break the bank, the receptionist/tattoo artist, Mark, was very knowledgeable about the different types of piercings, how they heal, and the various jewelry styles. He also answered all my questions thrown at him to the best of his ability; his humor was also uplifting and made the conversation interactive and the overall signing procedure enjoyable. Julia is amazing, she is a wonderful, sweet, and humble lady that ensures that your piercing will turn out the way you like it; I have 0 issues with this establishment and I highly recommend coming here. If I ever consider getting a helix piercing in the near future, I am absolutely coming back to Julia's Body Art.
Loved it ..clean
This shop doesn't display professionalism and worst of all, horrible customer service is what they offer. Had a tattoo done in early July and a touch-up was necessary since the inks didn't even seep into the skin's dermis in some areas. I contacted her for an appointment in advance. However, when I was there for a touch-up, Julia was tattooing other customer claiming that I didn't confirm my appointment in such rude tone. (She insisted that I gave her a wrong number) Therefore, she cancelled my appointment without my consent! Not to mention that it was my last day in Alberta and I had no alternative dates which she knew all along. Despite an outrageous rage, I kept it to myself at first, and I told her I can wait an hour to get the service done. After an hour, she suddenly came to me and said the touch-up will cost $30 saying I took a horrible care. She seems to confuse the term between a scab and bare flesh. I got furious and just took off since she wasn't planning on doing touch-ups anyways. Most tattoo shops provide touch-ups at no cost unless the care was horribly done and her website clearly says touch-ups are free unless the tattoo was not cared properly. Now she blames me for tattoo care although I did everything she had asked me to. Insufficient skills, and horrible customer service can best describe this shop. Oh, don't forget to bring cash since she doesn't take any sorta bank cards. ( No receipt provided of course and some of you may have an idea what this means )
Fast cleanly professional
I love Julia tattoo arts work. She and her staff are amazing tattoo artist. I recommend everyone to go there. Julia always make you feel welcome . 5 star for me.
went for a naval piercing, got a surface.
The tall guy did walk in piercings for me and my friend. He was so pleasant and friendly! We loved the service and loved how clean the business looked and smelled.
After looking around tattoo shops I found this place.went in for consult with pictures of tattoo I wanted. She was no help, didn't offer to come up with design, was told to come back with exactly what I wanted. She didn't seem excited about anything, just seemed annoyed. She may be a good artist but bad service. Will be going else where
Artists are friendly and professional. The work was clean and the price is fair. This was my first tattoo. Would recommend, if I get another tattoo I will come back to this shop.
Got my very first tattoo by Julia when I was 16. (I'm 21 now.) At first I was super proud of it and excited. What 16 year old wouldn't be? I got it fixed a little over a year ago by a friend of mine who is a tattoo artist. Before I got it fixed, it had inconsistent line work, it had random dots, it wasn't smoothly done, certain parts of it looked nothing like they did when she drew it and when the stencil was on. She rushed through it and seemed like she didn't actually want us there. I was told that I would get a free touch up on it. When I went back for the free touch up, she said no and said that she would touch it up if I got another tattoo. I walked out and have never got anything done by her again. I know other people who have gotten stuff done by her that went badly as well. I do not recommend going to her at all.
Very pleased with my experience, first tattoo I've ever had & Julia was excellent. Thank you !
Easily the best tattoo I have gotten to date. Julia is extremely talented, friendly, and approachable. She had my cover up tattoo completed within days of seeing my original piece, and hid it perfectly. Her shop is very clean and inviting as well. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know.
George was awesome very friendly and professional
Really really good artists and nice atmosphere
After getting my tattoo awhile back on my leg done here I decided to come back for nipple piercings. First of all Julia was not making me or my friend comfortable whatsoever didn’t even show us her marking before I had to ask to see it before putting a needle through. Not knowing much about piercings I didn’t know that they require a straight bar and not a curved bar bell. She pierced my AREOLA not even my nipple. And used curved bar bells I had taken them out awhile back after getting an infection and today decided to get them re done at Pitbull tattoo/piercing. The lady told me my piercing was so far from my nipple that she was surprised I had paid for it. She also pierced me with proper jewellery afterwards and after seeing the quality it is no where near what I had before. I would never recommend Julia, such horrible customer service I’m surprised there still open.
I got my belly button peirced there and I thought it was a pretty good experience. The guy who peirced it peirced it very quickly so it wasn’t that bad and the final price came up to $65 no tax so I though that was a really great price.
Amazing service!
I got three tattoos done by the owner. She really messed up my hand touch ups, poor shaky lines and made them thicker and uglier. The placements good. Got a thigh tattoo and she was good with the placement as well. Did not get the colour that I wanted and did what she decided to do. Overall, same review as others. Took multiple calls and multiple breaks to cover front. Didn’t change gloves out between three different customers. Doesn’t listen to direction from customers. Hand tattoos bad, thigh tattoo alright. It’s an alright place to go, just make sure you’re direct with the artist.
Julia continues to be a master at her craft. Working with her achieves my dreams perfectly. She executed my vision with class and I can’t thank her enough.
Great prices and friendly talented staff
I've gotten five out of eight tattoos from Julia in my lifetime, and 4 more of my family members go to her consistently to get our work done, its quick and always amazing work
Julia is s true professional excellent everytime
While she does my tattoo she walked out so many times to did the percing for many different girls at the same time but i noticed she didnt wash her hand or change new gloves. That was very not hygienist i got so sick after got my tattoo there hopefully its not from there. But its not right when she does a lil bit of tattoo on my hand then stop and go do different services then come back and continue on the tattoo again that was not professional at all????. It happened the same thing with my friend too.
I got my first tattoo here with Ying, she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and gave me exactly what I wanted. Would recommend coming here
This place was fantastic! I brought my mom to get her nose pierced for the first time. She was nervous but the staff was really good and helped reassure her. Very fast but great work! Would recommend for anybody looking to get piercings done!
Amazing artists. Great people
Have to tattoo from here one is a small barbell on my forearm and the other is larger tattoo the size of my other forearm it's a tree with birds in it. Julia did an amazing job and did it better than I I could've imagined. I'm going here for all om my future tattoos.
