Reviews of Parksville Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Champion Tattoo Inc

I have known Ryan now for over a decade, had the priveledge of working with him early in his career. His work ethic and dedication to providing the best work possible for each client is rivaled by few.

Larie Staal

Guys were friendly and helpful, love my tattoo it’s awesome! Thank you!!

Kayla Charbonneau

Looked for a tattoo place that took walk ins all day and Ryan was my last call- Said he was closing early but called me back and said he made changes just to have me and my friends come in. Definitely my favourite experience at a tattoo shop thus far. Nice, clean shop and a killer artist. Would recommend any day ????????

Sharon Morton

I have now gotten 2 tattoos from Ryan and I have to say the best artist I have seen. I always feel welcome in the shop. No big egos, just a friendly, professional environment to get some ink done. Definitely would recommend the shop to anyone looking to get some ink.

Katie Hesse

Got my first tattoo here and I absolutely love it! Paige was amazing with the design and really brought my idea to life!

Jordyn Holm

My most recent tattoo was done by Ryan and I won't be going to anyone else! Cleanest, boldest and most colourful tattoo. It only took a week to heal, didn't scab, and none of the colour fell out. I would 100% recommend!

Melissa Cartner

Natalie was so helpful with arranging the appointment. Ryan was fully prepared when I arrived and offered helpful advice. He was very professional and highly efficient. This is a great team at a great shop and I will be back again very soon!

Rolland Forsland

Flew from Alberta specifically to go get tattooed from Ryan at Parksville Tattoo. This is a fantastic shop for so many reasons, comfortable atmosphere, always so friendly with such great knowledge about tattoos. A commitment to quality and making tattoos look great over the test of time. These guys and this shop is the real deal. Thanks for the tattoos!

Isaac Ashton

Got my first tattoo here and I am absolutely coming back! Chill, laidback vibe, clean shop, and fantastic artists.

Emma Lou

I have recently been down to Parksville Tattoo for a couple pieces and am already thinking about my next! Ryan is an amazing artist and makes the tattoo experience extremely comfortable! Natalie and Ryan are both so sweet, I am excited to go back !

Chelsea Peterson

This shop has a super relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and Ryan is the most gentle tattooer I have ever encountered - my new tattoo goes right over my hip bone (which I was scared for - It's tender!) and it was a breeze, not to mention it looks beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Ryan and Parksville Tattoo to anyone looking for a chill experience and a high quality tattoo.

Lauren Nolan

Ryan is a amazing artist with incredible talent! Super cool guy, if you want a bomb tattoo that'll get compliments every day, Ryan is your man!

Meghan Dodge

Ryan did an amazing job on my tattoo, super relaxed environment, super clean shop. And AMAZING line work! Thanks so much for the awesome experience!☺

Cole Bellavance

Ryan's shop and his tattoos are a product of how passionate and genuine of an artist he his. The effort and quality is next to none. 5 year old tattoos look like they were done yesterday. The travel from Alberta is always worth it with every piece I get from him. Great new shop and cool location. And a super friendly dude to top it off! Huge appreciation for the great work you do, Ryan!

Karen/Derek McNeil

What a great experience! Ryan was the perfect choice for myself and a few girlfriends when we visited Parksville to get matching tattoos. He was easygoing, very informative and accommodating. He was able to provide us with recommendations, booking was easy and had great communication. We were so impressed and I can wait to return to get more work done! Highly recommend Ryan and his shop! ~ Cheers Karen

Willow Gacha

I love my newest tattoo. Probably my best one yet. This is my new go to place, Ryan and his lovely wife were exceptional. The ambience is top notch as its a very relaxing environment. Anyone looking for top quality art from a professional place, no need to look past here... Did I say I love it???

Sarah Love

Whole experience was awesome! My husband and I both got a tattoo. Did a couple complimentary consultations until we sorted out our ideas, which was so great! Really made us feel that Ryan really cared to give us our best peice! When tattooing he was very quick, consistent and gentle. His line work is beautiful. We are in love with our peices and are definitely returning!

Kieran Collery

I had heard good things about Ryan from a friend, so I decided to check out his new shop for myself. Ryan is very friendly, professional, and an excellent artist, I had a great experience and booked my second piece immediately after the first was done. Highly recommend checking it out if you're considering a piece!

Heather Mcleod

This shop is VERY special and unique. The customer service is top notch, unlike any other shop I have been to. In addition to that, the skill of the artists is very high. I would describe Ryan as a master in his field. Hands down the best tattooing experience I have ever had (been to approx 10 different shops for work). I have new friends in my community now and feel eternally welcome.

Ry Hewer

Amzing experience. Fantastic, from start to finish. Proffesional and superbly clean. Incorperated all of my ideas and colors. I will most certainly be returning! On top of my great experience, the customer service was fantastic. Nice to have a friendly artist to chat to, while your under the gun! Very pumped to have a gnarly local shop! Thanks Parksville Tattoo! See ya soon!!

Matt Dommisse

Ryan did a great job on my tattoo. I will most definitely be coming back to get some more work done!

Paige Thomsen

Great people, clean environment and a killer tattoo artist! Would recommend if you are looking for something done!

Brendan Waters

Great shop run by some great people. Ryan is super talented and it's always a pleasure to see him and Natalie. The shop is clean, has tons of flash art and paintings on the walls, and the vibe is always good. Would recommend!

Daniel McDonald

I was tattooed by Colin six months ago and recently had Ryan do an old cover-up for me. I knew who Ryan was from his Calgary days - and he definitely lives up to the hype. That same trip Ryan tattooed my girlfriend's elbow and it is healing perfectly. Ryan and Colin were extremely professional. Great conversations. Immaculate shop. Paige is a solid addition to the line-up. I will absolutely be going back for more work.

Lisa Clason

Ryan did an amazing cover up for me. Can't even see traces at all. Thanks for putting up with a shaky canvas. So clean and fast.

Ryan Murphy

Super lucky to have such a great local shop. Amazing artists, super friendly.

Sarah McConnachie

AmaZing experience. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about their craft. Highly recommended.

Amanda Diakiw

I just recently received a beautiful piece on my back from Ryan; an owl on a bed of roses. I brought him in my ideas and a photo that I liked but wanted quite a few things altered. Ryan listened to everything I wanted in my tattoo and drew me up a beautiful piece that l absolutely love! Originally i had wanted the tattoo in a different position on my back, which Ryan advised differently, and I am very thankful that he offered and I took his professional opinion. This being my first big tattoo, I was fairly nervous, but was advised that we could stop and take breaks whenever I needed. I was very surprised at how much he accomplished in the few hours I was there and walked out the door very happy, with a beautiful tattoo on my back that I have already received many compliments about. It is healing wonderfully. The shop was very clean and hygienic, and a great atmosphere to have work done. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to get tattooed to check out Parksville Tattoo! ????

A Robson

Clean, welcoming, and wonderful customer service. The family atmosphere from Natalie and Ryan is warm and inviting, I am already planning my next piece. Ryan's craft is honed and efficient! He is a professional and offers a superior product. He stays relevant in the industry and is such a great asset to our community! Thank you so much!

kate metzger

Super comfortable experience at Ryan's shop. Clean, professional and friendly. I just got a simple script piece but was super impressed with his nice clean line work, placement and time it took! Definitely recommend!

Josh “Xs650dude”

As an avid "collector" I've been in many shops, many chairs, and seen many artists. Ryan is at the top of my list for absolutely everything I look for. His work station is clean clean clean, he himself is clean, changes gloves often and so on.... some thing you want to see while sitting in the chair. His line work is pristine, and his colors still pop over 2 years later. He is a super easy guy to work with when it comes to designs and you end up getting what you want, not what some artist wants for you. Currently planning a trip from Calgary,Ab out to see him, a trip just for a tattoo as I'd love to have another one of his American traditional pieces on me forever. I'd highly highly highly recommend going to see Ryan.

marc chislett

Got a tattoo from Ryan at the Montreal tattoo convention. It had to be the cleanest, quickest healing tattoo I've ever had. It didn't even scab, peel or flake, it just was. Ryan's a super nice guy too, and he's one of the fastest most technical guys I've ever been tattooed by and this is coming from me, a tattoo artist. Ryan is in my opinion one of Canada's top ten traditional artists, You will never regret a tattoo from this shop.

Claudia P

Ryan did a very nice job on my one line Orca and I was very happy that he added in my last minute idea to it. Nice & clean shop. So much to look at on his walls. And some very awesome tattoo photos and designs from the olden days. Very cool shop. He will become very busy here for sure. Nice dude to talk to. I felt comfortable with him, which is also important. For sure not my last tattoo ????

Allison Greaves

Highly recommend Parksville Tattoo! Fantastic, clean, fun, respectful environment topped off with such rad staff. Natalie is such a welcoming, inviting person and immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. Ryan's tattoo's are beautiful and i couldn't be happier with my piece. He designed everything i wanted into his drawing and was accommodating and pleasant the entire time. We had great conversations and an overall wicked time. i will only get tattooed at Parksville Tattoo going forward and couldn't recommend them enough!

Catherine Whicher

Very great people. Its very professional and clean. I have a few tattos but my one with Ryan was great. I plan on going back for more. ????

Michelle

Ryan was super awesome with my foot tattoo. Him and his wife were personable and made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in the door. The quality of the tattoo is better then I could have imagined and I am thrilled. I would definitely recommend to others!

Ginger Mayell

Amazing shop would recommend getting tattooed here awesome art and experience

Brooke Graham

I Love my tattoo Ryan is a very talented artist and has a very light touch. I will totally be back for another one !

Gail Williams

Absolutely love the work Ryan does and so can’t wait to go back for more! So worth the pain!

Wayne Baxter

Great work by Ryan on a custom, one off design, he put everything I wanted in the tattoo. Both he and Natalie make you feel at home and at ease, great place for your first tattoo. No way I could have sat for 4 hours if it wasn't for Ryan's gentle touch. Highly recommended.

misfit princess x

my experience was amazing!! I was so comfortable and happy with the outcome. definitely recommend.

Ally Truscott

Ryan's work is absolutely flawless and I've never been more happy with a design. I highly recommend Parksville Tattoo - completely worth the drive up from Victoria!

Tyler Bidnyk

Ryan took my pinup concept and knocked it out of the park. His line work was smooth and consistent, the colours coordinate appropriately, and for me, the whole application was completely stress free. I had a rough idea of what I wanted when I sent in all of my reference material, but he absolutely nailed it with his first sketch - Stoked! Pop by the shop, check out Ryan and Colin's portfolios and book an appointment, you won't be disappointed!

Ariel Maxwell

This was truely the most amazing tattoo experience I've ever had !!!!!! Ryan and his wife were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. My tattoo turned out AMAZING I'm in lOVE with it!!!and my boyfriend got a tattoo as well they're both amaxing! Ryan is a true artist with a real talent his work is very unique and I so pleased! We will back !

Kyle M.

Huge Thanks to Colin Wiley for such an absolutely amazing piece of art. Definitely exceeded my expectations! The details in the trees were just unbelievable!! These guys are the best of the best, very professional and well managed shop. I felt welcomed and completely comfortable getting my tattoo here, did extensive research to find the right place. I would definitely recommend Colin or Ryan for anyone planning on getting a tattoo, because what you get will be a masterpiece! Look forward to my next visit! -Kyle Murphy

Joanna Iles

Fantastic shop. Ryan did a tattoo for my husband and I and we were absolutely blown away by his amazing talent, art design and customer service. He is not only an amazing artist but an awesome person as well. The shop was clean and in a great location. I would highly highly recommend this shop.

susan rowlands

I live in Florida now and visit the Island to see family. I wanted to get a Canadian themed tattoo for my love of Canada. I researched Tattoo places in Parksville and this is the best place to go as well as the surrounding areas. I walked in anticipating making an appointment. I was greeted by Colin who was super outgoing and professional and he asked what I had in mind. Then he said he could sketch it up and I could come back in 30 min. The place is spotless has a very cool vibe and Colin is an awesome artist and great to talk to. I had the tattoo done on the top of my foot and Colin made the experience very easy. The artistry and designs created here are amazing. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend Parksville Tattoo.

This is hands down the friendliest and most well put together shops I have ever been to in my life! Ryan tattooed me and it was an awesome experience, the tattoo is flawless! It's not everyday you come across a shop that has as much passion and attention to detail as this group! 100% would recommend!

Went and saw Ryan for my first ever tattoo. He made the entire experience awesome. Felt very welcome and comfortable being there, he made sure I was good with everything that was going on. He absolutely killed the tattoo, way over my expectations. The attention to detail in the tattoo is crazy. Colin was in the shop too and was very nice giving his input as well. Would highly recommend going to this tattoo shop.

Anna Kaw

I got my first tattoo from Ryan in July and immediately booked another appointment for the following month. I got him to fix a tattoo that I already had and he knew exactly how to fix it. Ryan is an amazing artist and I will definently continue to get tattooed by him.

Kristina Deane

Walked in and Colin was able to whip up exactly what I wanted. Super talented artist. I’m so happy with my tattoo. I am not from the island (unfortunately) but would travel the 3 hours to be tattooed at this shop again.

My first tattoo was here and I had a experience that has changed my life, the place was Clean and detailed, Ryan himself a tremdous artist and has a skill for his craft, funny yet so inviting and relatable is his conversation, I felt like a made a friend in talking to him.

Karen Baird

Ryan Gagne and Natalie are so warm, welcoming and friendly. The shop is so clean. Ryan did an amazing job on an existing tattoo of mine to make corrections to it, enhance it and bring it to life. It is stunning now. He did this effortlessly. Such talent he has. I was turned away at another shop and told it could not be fixed up. I feel blessed to have found Ryan at his Parksville Tattoo shop. Can't thank him enough ! Karen B.

If you are looking to get a high quality, life long lasting, clean, professional tattoo then Ryan Gagne is your man. Ryan is the real deal. His dedication to his craft is clearly demonstrated by his clean, bold tattoos and tidy shop space.

Got tattooed by Ryan the other day, it was such a great experience. Ryan is such a talented artist and a fantastic down to earth guy. His shop is absolutely amazing, the walls are covered in flash and paintings he has collected over the years, this feels like a proper good old fashion tattoo shop. Ryan really makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door, and I can't wait till my next visit!

David McKie

I've been getting tattooed by Ryan for 4 years now and I don't see myself stopping any time soon. Him and Natalie have established an amazing shop with a very relaxed, yet professional, atmosphere and visiting there is always an absolute pleasure. Ryan's work speaks for itself and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to get any kind of style. Hands down one of the best artists in Western Canada, as well as one of the coolest humans!

michele awan

I recently had a tattoo of a tree done by Ryan, it’s exactly what I wanted and I love it. Ryan is professional, yet also very chilled, allowing me to fully relax during my tattoo.

I just got my tatto today and absolutly love it! Parksville Tattoos is absolutely by far the best tattoo experience I have had! I recommend Ryan to anyone that's wants the amazing experience I had today!

Feile Reidy

I've been going to Ryan Gagne for a couple years now because he is incredibly talented, versityle in his style, and very proffesional. I'm always thrilled with the work that he does and can't imagine wanting to see any other artists at this point. His new shop is amazing and his lovely wife Natalie who works as reception adds to the over all friendly and proffesional attitude. They both have an everyone welcome attitude which is a huge bonus for some of us who feel a little intimidated in tattoo shops. If you are looking for a tattooer who can do any style and do it well I would highly recommend Ryan. He is more talented and humble then anyone I have met in the industry.

Brandyn Gertz

I just recently went in to cover up a tattoo from when I was a kid Ryan was fast friendly and extremely talented. I highly reccomend going here if you are in parksville!

Robbin Vance

Awesome shop!! Awesome owners. So friendly and make you feel comfortable and so happy with my tattoo. Will definitely go back!!

Great shop Ryan is the man, got this dragon on the 5th of November. Healed up better than any of my other tattoos and looks great. I'll be back for sure.

Katrina Olafsson

I just left Parksville Tattoo & I am avery happy customer! Not only was I absolutely shocked at how comfortable I was during the procedure as I have had many tattoos in the past.that hurt like hell but Ryan explained every detail to me so there is nothing left for confusion on how to take care of my tattoo! Or what I can expect as I age etc. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking to add to their artwork on their bodies!! I’m coming back to start my sleeve ❤️ Thanks Ryan!!

Carolyn Stafford

Ryan is an amazing artist. Great attention to detail & collaboration with his clients. Love this place & will definitely return. Highly reccomend!

Serina Laliberte

I waited 4 years to have my tattoo completed, within this time I was blessed with another grandaughter. I highly recommend this lovely couple, Ryan and Natalie! Such an sterile, friendly, professional business! My next work of body art will definitely be done by them. ❤️

Dallin Brenton

Awesome experience! Ryan was very professional, great to deal with, and the shop was immaculate. Tattoo looks great and is healing nicely. Highly recommend to anyone. I will definitely be returning soon!

Just got inked by Ryan at Parksville Tattoo. What a ridiculous craftsman. His wife Natalie and him have built a beautiful shop; friendly, clean, welcoming, and nostalgic. Ryan is patient, attentive, knew exactly what we wanted and where to place it. He is light on the gun and exudes professionalism. I’ve had numerous tattoos and him and his shop get my highest recommendation! GO GET INKED :)

Daniel Edwards

My buddy and I came here in the summertime The service here is phenomenal! I’ve gotten 5 tattoos and each from a different artist and Ryan was by far the best!

I’ll definitely be back!

Parksville tattoo is awesome! The shop is very friendly and personable, very clean and most importantly the artists are very talented and professional. Definitely would recommend this place, and for anyone living in Victoria it would be worth the drive up island to get a tattoo.
