This studio has such a good vibe and you can tell a lot of love has been put into it. I felt so comfortable the entire time and Nic did an amazing job on my tattoo! Highly recommend :)

Nic was the sweetest and did one of my favorite tattoos! I was also very twitchy and Nic was so understanding and worked around the twitches.

Fable Wilson

Such a talented and creative bunch of humans. Ive been a fan of their works for a while now, and deeply appreciate the welcoming inclusive vibes. My tattoo healed beautifully and I look forward to getting another.

Kayleigh McColl

Love the atmosphere, felt comfortable and got some amazing tattoos from Leo

Nicole Bottles

Warm, welcoming environment with none of the scary trappings of a trad shop. All the artists are incredible passionate and diligent in their work. You can tell they genuinely love being there and love what they do and it shows in their work. Real sense of community, collaboration, and pushing the art form in a gentle direction! 10/10

My daughter and I had Leo do matching tattoos for us last month. It was my first tattoo and I changed mind a couple of times on the design. Leo was very patient and helpful and made the whole experience special. The space is clean ,professional and welcoming and I’ve already made another appointment.

Got tattooed by Leopold a couple weeks ago, and I’m so in love with my tattoo. They made me feel so comfortable getting it done, and I’m so happy I found them since I had been looking for a new local artist to be my go to person. Can’t wait to go back ????

What an amazingly inclusive and safe tattoo environment! I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Nicola, and I couldn't be happier. She was so sweet and you can tell that she loves what she does with all her heart (and boy is she talented!). Ive already booked my next session ❤

First Tattoo from a 2LGBTQ+ shop it was so inviting for this two-spirit being. Kinâskômatîn Leopold, and the smiling person when I burst in for my Tattoo a bit late.

Rae Gillese

Super cute and welcoming vibe from this Esquimalt gem. Iris and her compatriots were so warm and I love my tattoo (and the far-too-many cute stickers I left with).

Elspeth Easton

A really fantastic community environment that is truly welcoming to everyone. Not only awesome tattooers but fantastic people! I can not wait to go back!!

I haven’t been there for a tattoo yet but the space is filled with great energy and so many lovely items made by local artists!

The tattoo artists are kind, considerate, professional and have made a beautiful, cozy and inclusive space. Brass Iris should be the gold standard to which other tattoo parlours should strive for.
