Reviews of Take Care Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

David Tran

I wouldn't go anywhere else. I got both of my first tattoos from Nicole and I'm so happy with them! I'd definitely seek her out for my next one, she did a great job. As for the shop as a whole, the vibe of a space is an important aspect of any experience for me. Take Care immediately struck me as a safe and welcoming space, which made the experience all the more awesome. Lastly, a shout out to Ted for the time he took answering my emails and offering the reassurance I needed (I was a bit anxious/nervous as a tattoo newbie and had quite a few questions). Would definitely recommend this little gem of a place!

I’ve been tattooed at Take Care by Jen and Nicole on walk-in days and appointments, and my mom has been tattooed by Jessica as well- It is the absolute best environment to be tattooed in and the best artists! Fair and honest people who always make an impressive effort to tattoo as many folks as possible and make everyone happy. All my tattoos have healed wonderfully and I get compliments on them all the time! I’ll be back for countless more ❤️✌️

I went here for my first tattoo. Jen made the experience relaxing and informative. Ted made a confusing situation into a very well organized professional experience. The shop was clean and peaceful. Well worth the drive. Can't thank you enough.

Got a tattoo by Jenn the other day, she was a very nice lady and made sure that I liked the tattoo and didn’t push any of her own suggestions on me(as I’ve had that problem with other artist in the past). She did an amazing job, pretty quick and the studio is beautiful! Highly recommend this place for any tattoo needs!

Laura Reynolds

Jen did the most amazing job. It was my first tattoo and I was blown away by her patience and care she took in making sure I was comfortable and felt safe. The whole energy of Take Care is wonderfully calming and positive. Can't wait to go back!

Warm, welcoming, and beautiful studio filled with a talented crew of artists. All of the artists here are as friendly and kind as they are skilled - there is a reason they all have such a demand for their work! They participate in the community, share the work of other small businesses in the region, host fundraisers year round - and of course, have excellent work. You can’t ask for anything else!

Claire Wetton

Great people and welcoming environment. 10/10!

Rebecca Foss

Jen is an amazing person and great artist. I recommend her to everyone I know looking for exceptional blackwork. She also takes the time to make sure you're happy with your tattoo and is just an overall beautiful person inside and out!

Kevin Wells

My wife had a Tattoo done there almost two weeks ago. Everything was absolutely perfect with it! It is just getting past the itchy phase but the colors are solid and the lines are perfect. Thank you!

Allen Tedjo

Jenn is amazingly talented. Fast and detailed. Makes what you want with her own flavour too.

Kenzie Brenna

Truly, one of the best shops I've ever been to! Jen and company are so welcoming, professional and diligent. Not only that, but the space breathes in inclusivity and acceptance. Every single type of person is welcome there and you will get the MOST amazing art on your body as well. I cannot wait to go back!!

Jennifer Fudge

Love love love this place. I've had work done from both Jen and Jess (so far) and am extremely happy with the outcomes of each appointment. Can't wait to get back for more!

Felix Pozojevic

Jen and team are the best in town. Professional, clean, friendly, and amazing artists. A must go!

Lauren Kailey

Amazing as always! Friendly & professional feel

Vanessa Gould

I was recently tattooed by a guest artist (@rosey.budd on instagram). She was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable. The shop is gorgeous and I will definitely be coming back, to both the artist and the shop!!!

Olivya Leblanc

Jen is an amazing artist!! She tattooed my half sleeve and I would recommend her to anyone! She has years of experience and is super precise and talented ????

Bailey Elliott

Cannot say enough great things about Jessica and Take Care Tattoo. I first booked an appointment to have Jessica fix a tattoo located on my right arm. I previously had a black and grey bouquet of flowers (done by a studio in Ottawa) and decided to have colour added at a studio in Coboug. The results were devastating. My skin was flaky and sore. The artist did a horrible job, colored outside lines and did more damage than good. I went to see Jessica to do some repair. She redid all the old lines, added so much colour and dimension, and added shading. The price to have arm fixed was so worth it. I was ashamed to show my arm before, but she took this piece and made it in to something beautiful. I recently went back for a second piece. Jessica did an adorable chickadee and foliage, also on my right arm. She incorporated it in to my existing tattoo while making it unique on its own. The colours are beautiful. Thank you so much Jessica. I recommend Jessica 1000%. All the staff are super talented, friendly and the price for both pieces ive had done were well worth it!

Corey Glover

Jennifer is a dream! Super professional. She showed me every step of the process to make sure I was happy and was glad to make any changes I requested. She was incredibly quick, but didn't sacrifice any detail. I'll be back for the next one!

Geoff Andrews

Great location! Friendly staff.

Emily M

Everyone is so nice! Ted is super personable at the front desk, I’ve been tattooed by both Jen and Jessica and both of them were super genuine. All of my tattoos came out exactly as I wanted them and they were super flexible and easy to work with!

Christine Hutton

All communication has been very helpful, while booking their Airbnb, planning a walk-in on Sunday while staying there, and following Jennifer on social media. I can’t wait to get a new piece.

Shawna Howe

Jennifer is hands down, the best tattoo artist I have ever received ink from! I have 6 tattoos by Jennifer, and I have always had the most beautiful experience. Jennifer is so kind, compassionate, patient and soooo talented. The space is cozy, clean and professional. As a queer, non-binary Indigenous person, I always feel safe, seen, heard and respected. I always leave nourished, happy and always looking forward to coming back to get my next tattoo!

B Moffatt

Incredible tattoos by Jennifer Lawes who takes extreme care in her work and your comfort and care. Plus she is extremely giving to local charities. Highly recommended

Kayla Harper

Amazing experience! Jen Lawes is a true artist.

Shannon Lee

I would recommend Take Care Tattoo to everyone based on the beautiful location of Port Perry and an old historical building, the cozy and comfortable studio and airbnb, & Jennifer Lawes being the lovely person and amazing artist that she is. Jen made me feel very comfortable and was kind and caring at every step of the tattooing process. She was patient with me and let me know that it was okay if I needed a break. I'm already thinking of my next visit.

Kate .Traynor

Amazing shop with very lovely people! Jen did an amazing job! Can't wait to come back :)

Allison Rogers

I have had five tattoos done at Take Care Tattoo, all from walk-in Sundays! I've been tattooed by both Jen and Jess, both of whom are fantastic. They always take the time to ensure you're happy with your design and are so accommodating to any requests. Everyone in the shop is super friendly and I've never had a negative experience. The shop truly is a safe space for everyone and I highly recommend getting tattooed here!

Sara M

Had my first tattoo by a guest artist yesterday. He was super kind and patient. The shop is gorgeous and the folks there are friendly.

CodyMTavares

Jessica has amazing artwork. I still have one of hers on my wall that I picked up at a gallery!

Becky De Oliveira

Jen is the most talented tattooer and I’ve been a client of hers for many years- almost 10 in fact. She’s wildly professional and talented, and she cares about her clients and her business so much. And it shows. She is, the best and I’ll be a client forever!

Gillian Thompson

I got my forearm tattoo done by Jess at the start of 2020 (pre-pandemic). Jess is amazing, I love my tattoo and will be back for another soon! The Space is amazing as well, light and open and very welcoming. 100% recommend take care tattoo!

Liz Cowling

As a regular client at Take Care Tattoo / Jen Lawes, for the last 8 years of my life, I simply could not imagine getting tattooed anywhere else. Take Care Tattoo is genuinely the most welcoming and embracing environment you would ever want to have in a tattoo shop. Every artist that works there is extremely patient, lovely, and goes above and beyond to make your tattoo needs met. This team works so hard and the talent / versatility in each artists work is absolutely beautiful. A stop at Take Care Tattoo in Port Perry is a must!!

B Josephine

Jen is amazing , I can’t express enough how much I appreciate her art and now I have it on me forever. Both these tattoos mean so much to me.

Jessica Channer

I work here and it's awesome! Jen and Ted really put their hearts into this business and I could not ask for better employers. Come get a tattoo!

Dayna Freebury

Got this cute little tattoo from Nicole during the Halloween Flash Sale last October! ????????

Carly Horton

Such an amazing experience! Beautiful work and friendly staff! Can't wait to get tattooed here again!

Tarisa Deboer

I have a half sleeve done by Jen and it was absolutely the best tattoo experience I've ever had. The shop was clean, light, and beautiful. They have since moved, but I'm sure she has done the same in the new space. My tattoo is stunning and I get compliments often. Jen is an incredible artist and outstanding business owner. She cares about her clients, her employees, and her community. Can't recommend this shop enough!

Jon Colwell (JonnyOneThree)

The team at Take Care is TOP NOTCH! They continuously produce great tattoos and are committed to offering a very safe and inviting environment! I have been tattooed by Jenn multiple times and have been to dozens of tattoo shops all over the place, many are not comparable to this place as Take Care is almost perfect!

Emily Johnston-Hartin

I've had the pleasure of being tattooed by both Jenn and Jess at Take Care Tattoo. Both were professional, welcoming and ensured I had the best possible experience. With Jess, she recreated a Beauty and the Beast inspired tattoo for me, taking into consideration the style of tattoo that I wanted. With Jenn, she curated a perfect masterpiece to fully encompass everything I wanted in my very personal/meaningful tattoo. I highly recommend Take Care Tattoo!

Tyler Loube

If you are looking for a stellar tattoo experience, you should totally add this place to the top of your list. The fine folks at Take Care are versatile in style & approach. Lots of flash to select from, to custom drawn-on work, the artists here have a wide range of styles to offer in a safe environment. You really should visit this place, not just for the artwork!!!

Raina Willow

Great service, friendly, prompt with email inquiries, nice clean shop, talented artists.

Jake Lowry

This place has no idea how to run a business the owners treat customers like garbage and don't stick to there schedule DO NOT GO HERE they are terrible and toxic

Amazing experience. Jenn did such a great job! Went in with an idea in mind and Jenn made it a reality. The shop was clean, quick turn around time. No complaints at all.

Robert Wallace

Got tattooed by Jen a few months ago - the experience was nothing but positive! The shop is clean, staff are friendly, helpful and following every protocol to keep themselves and clients safe and healthy. If you're looking for a shop that is relaxed and professional, Take Care is it! Highly recommend. Cool decor, too. :)

Marie C. Hudson

Staff and artists are always friendly and professional. You can tell they really care about their clients and the work they’re doing!

Matt Whalen

Jess has done two pieces for me over the last few years. Excellent work from a genuinely delightful person. Can't wait to come back!

Moira Hennebury

Take Care is a fantastic studio. I’ve had 3 large pieces done here over the years. The team is committed always to creating a safe environment and great client experience. I’ve enjoyed many great laughs, sing-a-longs, and conversations with the crew. As a healthcare worker, I have been tremendously impressed with the shop’s unwavering commitment to implementing public health interventions to mitigate risk to clients and the Port Perry community. Thank you for your dedication as we collectively respond to COVID-19. I can’t wait to visit in the new year!

Katie Grove

I got a tattoo by Nicole a couple months ago and I couldn’t be happier! The whole atmosphere of the shop is friendly and professional, I am hoping to be back soon again

Ryan Lowry

Today I went in for walk in tattoo I had plans on getting a bigger piece on my forearm (8-12 inches max) so know I was getting a bigger tattoo I called a week ahead asking if this was ok I sent them a email as well tell them all the details and a photo of the tattoo I drive 4 and a half hours to go here just to wait in there parking lot for 30mins and then get told off I would not go here the owners don’t know how to run there Business and they don’t know how the treat there customers

Crystal Mascarenhas

Incredible! I’ve been tattooed by Jenn, Nicole, and Jessica. All of them are talented and excellent at their job. Super artists who take pride in their work. I’ll be back again and again and again! Don’t be discouraged if you have to wait a few months for your tattoo. It’s worth it, I promise. (Just bring an extra sweater if you tend to get cold/have poor circulation. The building is beautiful but older…so I did need an extra layer!) Ted is very kind over email and phone! - Crystal

Brent L

My mistake, this is a great place that does everything right, the inside is cool looking and the work it top notch! Looking forward to driving there when I get the licence back????, I'm looking forward to getting a tattoo and that'll be when life says "I'm back"

Devon Wade

I got a hobbit hole tattoo done by Jess a few months ago and could not be happier! Everyone at Take Care was very kind, professional, and always made it very clear what I was to expect. I even messed up communications once (my own fault) and missed my appointment and they did everything they could to accommodate me and re-booked ASAP. Also, Ted is great he puts up with all of my emails ????

Kenny Lord

Jessica did an amazing job on my ‘Thin Blue Line’ Ribbon tattoo. Very professional, awesome person and I will be going back. Her Artwork is so beautiful, a highly skilled artist, one which I am happy to recommend! - Kenny

Kiersten Killey

Jen is one of the kindest and most talented artists out there. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but cares so much about her clients and her community. I’ve been tattooed by her many times over the past 7 years and leave so happy every single time. Jen, Ted and the entire Take Care Tattoo team are the best and I can’t recommend them enough!

Brendan Hodge

Such a warm and welcoming shop, clean and inviting. Jessica helped me turn my initial idea in to an excellent tattoo!

Rachel Sanguinetti

Had a great experience at Take Care Tattoo today. The shop is very bright and open, and extremely clean. Jen did my tattoo and was so warm and welcoming, as was (Ted?) the front of shop staff. It was a very positive and comfortable visit!

N. B.

Awesome experience !

Kimberley Rogers

I have been tattooed at Take Care Tattoo several times and have had nothing but positive experiences. Everyone at Take Care Tattoo is extremely kind, professional, and talented in what they do. This shop has such a warm and inviting atmosphere and I can’t wait to be tattooed by them again in the future!

Ava Depassio

I have been tattooed by Jen and Jessica, all extraordinary artists who have outdone themselves on custom art and personal flash time and time again.

Emily Marsh

The absolute BEST shop (and artist) around! I travel 3 hours every time I visit the shop and it is worth every second. Jen has done 5 of my large tattoos so far and is the only artist I trust to provide me with exactly what I had envisioned. Her shop has the best vibes!! Only amazing experiences thus far and I plan on returning many, many more times! :)
