Reviews of Crocus Tattoo Studio (Tattoo Shop)

Janelle G

Just got my first tattoo done at crocus and it was such a good experience. Andy made me feel calm and took the time to design a tattoo that I loved. Would definitely recommend checking him out!

Brenna Beaulieu

I’ve had 2 so far and both were what I was expecting and more. Relaxing environment and Andy is very easy going and extremely talented. If you give him an idea he’ll sketch it until your are more than happy with it. Highly recommend

Andria Bertram

Super great artist, very comfortable and personal experience. Andy did matching tattoos for me and a friend and they came out better then the picture we brought him. All hand drawn, beautiful shading, awesome technique. Won't go anywhere else for work, just Andy! ????????

Victoria Borelli

Andy is so precise and awesome. He is so down to earth and makes any experience a comfortable one. Studio is beautiful and is kept so clean. 10/10 would recommend to anybody (I already have!!!)

Max Power

Excellent customer care. Andy is super friendly, and has a very light hand. Very nice, bold and solid lines

Britney Nielsen

I've seen Andy 4 times in the past for tattoos and he has never disappointed! Andy's very friendly and professional. He definitely listens to the client and makes sure you're very happy with his work.

Joni Manikel

Andy is a great artist who takes a great deal of care in the work he does. I suffer from depression/anxiety and he always makes sure I am calm and relaxed before we start. I have had around 20 hours worth of work done with him, and receive compliments on it regularly!

Leah Suderman

I've recommended Andy to everyone I know, I wouldn't go anywhere else!! The shop is also one of the cleanest and nicest shops I've been in.

Dea Marie

Absolutely the best shop I’ve been too, Andy is my tattoo artist and the only one I’ll let ink my body! Great receptionist, great environment super clean Andy! You’ll be expecting me for my next tat bud!

Andy did a couple tattoos for me. Very patient and his work was very accurate. He takes pride in his work and isn't happy until you are. Listened to what I wanted and excecuted perfectly. Highly recommended. Thanks Andy. Oh the girl that works the front desk is awesome too. Very welcoming and friendly. Update: He has almost completed my full sleeve. I honestly couldn't be happier. Andy listens to what you want and will even make changes on the fly. he free handed some fillers for my sleeve and did an amazing job, true artist! Bring him an ice coffee now and again and chat. He's fun to talk too! Did I mention he can bench press a bus! LOL great person, honest and genuine. He's my Tattoo guy and now great friend. Cheers Buddy!

I haven't been to the new shop, but Andy is the only tattoo artist that I will allow to ink me! I have two pieces done by him that are many years old and still look fresh and new. My pieces involved complicated line work and have never required touch up (even after 10 years)! Despite living on another continent now, I would still travel to him to get more ink! Go here and you will get exactly what you ask for and it will look perfect for many years to come!

I have my arms tattoed by Andy(work in progress) and stomach finished. Every time I wear swimwear I get SO MANY compliments for that gorgeous colored piece on my stomach( I let him design it). He’s such a chill dude. It’s always nice to get inked by him!!!

Shane Marx

After a few years training with Andy, and having him do all three of the tattoos I have (the wolf on my other calf is on the website. Yaaay I'm famous!), I can say that he is a true artist. He puts his best into whatever he does, and it shows.

Anika Gray

Andy did such an amazing job on my tattoo. He was so kind and considerate. Took all my ideas and gave me some advice!! He made me feel so comfortable the whole time and was welcoming. Very cute and humble shop! 10/10 would recommend!

Donoven Simpson-Elie

Andy is an extremely skillful artist, with many years of experience behind him. Patience and consideration of his customer's needs put him and his business a head above most other artists in town!!

Audrey Mifflin

Great laid back atmosphere. Awesome welcoming vibe as soon as you walk through the door. The space itself is immaculate giving you the impression Andy is very professional and take a lot of pride in his craft. Andy did an amazing job on my tattoo, super friendly and easy to work with. Great experience will return very soon.

Savanna Lawson

Andy was so nice! Very professional, easy to talk to, and his work speaks for its self! Perfect lines! He really takes pride in his work and you can tell he loves what he does. Thank you Andy!!

Caity

Andy is the best! He is always so patient and takes time to really understand what I want, I’ve been tattooed by him 4 separate times and they’ve all been wonderful! Super professional and clean, 10/10 would recommend!

Cliff Manoel Silva

Andy is an amazing artist. Listens and understands what the client needs but also advises as to the best option for the best outcome - as any professional tattoo artist should. I'm not sure what this "fake profile" Miranda Ste. Marie is squaking about with 1 star. Pure nonsense. Look, if anyone is seeking a reliable, talented, and professional tattoo artist. Crocus is the place to go! Check all the other reviews. It's easy to see what's what. Jah Bless.

If you want a reliable person giving you a tattoo, save your troubles and do not go to Graham Thorne at Crocus. I should have trusted my first instinct when I met the guy for my consult as he was stoned out of his mind. Not only did he cancel once for the tattoo, but twice, cancelling out right and giving us lame excuses. Two days later, posts a message on social media stating he was taking new clients/consults. Now I am hearing that he has a habit of these cancellations as he used to work at another place and they turfed him for the same reasons.

Bryan Thomson

Andy is a great guy, and an amazing artist.

Raffaele Borrello

Andy has done all of my tattoos, 20 and counting. Can't wait to see his new place and come up with a new tat. Idea.

Chris Hughes

I was looking for a new tattoo artist since the guy that did my first Gundam moved to BC. After looking at Andys work online I decided to give him a shot. I was nervous at first because anime can be tricky and I've seen a lot of terrible work on Google searches. Man, I am I glad I chose Andy. He put all my worries at ease and has done such an awesome job. I've been seeing him once a month since August. He takes his time and gets it done right. Money and time well spent. Definitely will be coming back for my other sleeve.

Sita Thapa

Great work!

Rita Gordon

I have 6 tattoos done by Andy. He’s a great guy and a great artist. He can create something custom, or something neat that you really want done. I have recommended my family members to him and they are return customers as well. I’m glad he has his own shop it’s about time!

frenchabortion

Andy has done ALL my tattoo work. I've actually followed him to 3 different shops, anyways it's great to see him strike out on his own. You can trust him to do a great job and he really knows what he's doing.

veronika thiessen

Very clean and friendly place to get a tattoo. Love it

Christine St. Martin

Was a great experience! Just got my first tattoo done. Love the location, really clean and great work :)

Ashley Sawyer

I have most of my artwork done by Andy . I began with him when he worked at skin dimensions . I had the experience of having awful tatto artists that could not properly tattoo and had made a mess out of my tattoos that I had desired .. these tattoo artist didn’t share the same design ideas and screwed up . Andy has been amazing to cover them up and make them look amazing . My tattoos have been big and full of colour and he has captured so much of what I wanted . I like Andy’s ideas and suggestions and how he is so open to trying to his best in making your design come to life. I am happy that I found a tattoo artist that is worth going to with reasonable pricing . If at any point I needed any kind of assistance in my healing of my tattoos Andy made himself available to me at any hour to ensure the best possible healing takes place . I defiantly will be going back and Andy will defiantly be the only artist doing my work . Color stays in and I love that Andy is a family man . You don’t see a good family man working with tattoos as much. Andy is an amazing artist and does his very best to please all his customers . I get lots of compliments on all the work he has done so far .. I also enjoy that the shop he has opened is more private , the skin demension space was very intense and not private from others viewing you getting your tattoo . I did not like that as some of my tattoos were in areas that were preferred not to be viewed by others (back) , (thigh ) area .. I would prefer not everyone see what I am placing on my body unless I want them to .. all my tattoos were level , placed properly and even .. I encourage Andy to continue in the work he is doing as he is amazing ! I would recommend anyone to visit Crocus and get some work done .. you will defiantly not regret it . Andy I can’t wait to come in this month to do some more work .. thank you for being you and doing such an amazing job , creating amazing breath taking designs .. please continue with what you are doing ..

Liz Wenmaekers

Best tattoo artist I have ever been to! Andy does a fantastic job everytime - my pieces always turn out stunning, as per usual! He has been my tattoo artist for over two years with various pieces & I would not trust anyone else now. I recommend him & his new shop to anyone & everyone - you will not be disappointed! - Liz

Kurt Kurt

came in the other day and the receptionist told me the artist/owner wasn’t going to do good at what I wanted done. I asked for the owner to talk and she declined. Not professional staff, very rude. I’d go to a place where the staff have faith in the artist.

Lisa Smith

Andy was great. I had a simple tattoo but he did a amazing job with it and made me feel very comfortable. The shop is small but very clean and both Andy and his receptionist make you feel at home. I will be going back for a consult on a touch up and can't wait to see what he can do!

Ally Dawn

Had my appointment, The owner was late and ate taco time in front of me for a half an hour when he got in. Took an hour for him to start drawing my tattoo. Didn’t even have it ready... honestly one of the most unprofessional shops I’ve been to. They made a lot of Race jokes which made me super uncomfortable. Talked bad about other tattoo shops and artists. My tattoo overall isn’t what I wanted and I’m getting it covered at one of the shops he made fun of (lol)

Amanda Bruce

Andy did a fantastic job with my tattoo! Could not have asked for a better job. By most standards the tattoo I had done was relatively simple but yet Andy still took the time to make sure every detail was perfect and that I was 100% satisfied. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Lucia Oliveira

Love love love Andy’s work!! He’s an amazing tattoo aritist!! Can’t wait to get more ink done from him! ????

jaspreet singh

Andy did excellent job. I got my first tattoo from crocus tattoo studio. It was wonderful experience. I highly recommend this studio to everyone. I got my tattoo in my language punjabi but he did excellent job. I am so happy from his work.

Bryna Lutz

Andy is an outstanding tattoo artist who takes such care and attention to detail with his clients. The fact he started his own tattoo shop is a god send. He is the most talented tattoo artist I have had the pleasure to be associated with and will continue to be a loyal client. I have, and will continue to recommend his services to anyone who wants a CLEAN and respectable experience! I hope others will have the joy I have had when looking at the beautiful art I now have on my body forever.

Teegan Weiske

Clean facility, Andy is great at what he does and very professional. Love my 2 tattoos he's done.

Brandon Jones

Awesome artist doesn’t butcher you like some shops do in the city. Very affordable always keeps in touch with his clients I’ve gotten two tattoos from him and he’s honestly the only one I trust to put a needle to my skin.

James Kurt

I visited this shop yesterday. The owner Andy was extremely helpful and professional. He was able to answer all my questions. He is very knowledgeable. The shop is nice, clean and has a nice cozy relaxing vibe.

Mackenna Caseyanne

It’s really sad because the receptionist and artist who aren’t there anymore were the only reason I liked and went there, They made it feel at home, the young brunette girl was so sweet and was great answering my questions and trying to help. the other artist was super funny and honestly way more talented than the owner. Everyone else just seemed unprofessional and as if they didn’t care. the receptionist they have now Just wasn’t helpful at all, and the owner just doesn’t compare to The other artists work. Sad they didnt get rid of the other 2 left

Christian Suderman

I've had a couple small pieces done by Andy and I couldn't be happier. He did one quick consult for each and both times the finished product was better that I could have imagined. He's an absolute professional (which is reflected in both the cleanliness of his shop and his finished products) and I will be returning here many more times.

Brian M

I Have been to Andy multiple times working on an arm piece I am extremely happy with what he has created I went to him with just an idea and he has made that a reality on my arm! The shop is very clean and inviting and he was very professional! I will definitely be going back to Andy and recommend him to anyone who wants the RIGHT experience when getting a tattoo!

Courtney Miller

Andy has tattooed me 7 times so far and I have nothing to say but positive comments. His talent shows not only in his art work but also in the relaxing, clean, and vibrant shop he owns. I would 100% recommend Crocus Tattoo to all first timers, and tattoo veterans.

Sue H

Great consultation and ended up with exactly what I wanted where I wanted. So professional and clean! Will always go back to Andy for my tats!

adam Van Meekeren

Got my alien/Egypt sleeve from Andy.. going back for my other arm now. Shop is very clean and welcoming.

Rachel-Lynn Normand

Great place to come and some real awesome ink done. I'd tell anyone to check it out.

Brianna Rock

The owner is really nice and he is very creative. I have got 2 of the tattoos on my back by him. He helped me and created the tattoo I have always wanted. It turned out beautiful and appreciate him for doing such a nice job.
