Reviews of Rustic Tattoos (Tattoo Shop)

Tiffany Naugler

Best tattoo shop I've been to yet. I booked a coverup with Brianna, who really took the time to work with me on getting exactly what I wanted. I gave her a loose idea with a few reference photos and she knocked it out of the park! Greg & Brianna honestly do the best job, not only on your tattoos but with creating a safe and welcoming space. As someone who suffers from social anxiety, I was a bit nervous, but these two made me really feel at home. 10/10 100% I can't wait to go back!

I received a tattoo here when it was under its old name. Has a great atmosphere and professional artists. Greg is trusted by many in the tattoo world.

I went to see Brianna to get the Raccoon of my dreams, she was so accommodating and patient while we messed around with the placement and made little tweeks. The details are incredible and it healed so well. Super friendly and fun atmosphere, will definitely be going back!

I've been getting my ink done by Brianna for 6 years now, and I don't go to anyone else. The parlor is ALWAYS clean and professional, and has a very artistic and welcoming atmosphere. Honestly a terrific place to get your tattoo done. Zero regrets

I will never run out of good things to say about Greg. He is a true professional and a quality artist. From our very first chat to the aftercare follow up he was enthusiastic about making sure I was happy with every detail. The shop is inviting and sanitization is taken very seriously. I am excited to work with him on many future tattoo projects. #rustictattoos

Booked my first appointment last summer with Brianna and have been getting tatted by her almost every month since, including a cover up/fill in of an older tattoo. The environment at the shop has been nothing but positive, friendly, clean and organized. Amazing chats and time spent hanging out while getting a piece of sick artwork every time. I get compliments daily from my patients, seeing my tattoos brings a smile to their face, complimenting the beautiful colours. Anyone who is looking to get their first tattoo or get more awesome work added should check out Rustic Tattoos!

I’ve got tattooed by Brianna a couple times! Absolutely love her & her work. Would 100 percent recommend her to anyone.

Ben Kerrivan

Greg did these two piece on me and absolutely killed it, awesome environment and people.

Harley Rayner

Greg did my last tattoo and I would love to go back to him. He made me feel very comfortable and didn't judge me for not being insanely tough. He took great care to check on me and it definitely helped that he knew my nerdy subject matter.

Brianna Oliver

Got tattooed by Greg about 3 times so far and it’s always been such a delight ! I constantly get compliments on my tattoos and questions about who did it, I’m always very happy to share my experiences that I’ve had at Rustic/Brass Anchor ! He always makes sure his clients are at their most comfortable and truly listens to his customers needs/concerns

Shannon LeBlanc

Brianna has done 3 beautiful pieces for me in the last year and each time she has done an amazing job! She has a fantastic talent for bringing ideas to life. She is incredibly skilled. I would highly recommend her. I will definitely be spending more time in her chair soon!

Kaitlin Kennedy

Wonderful place! Super clean, welcoming and incredible artists! Only place I trust to get tattooed. I highly recommend Rustic Tattoos!

Emmy Barr

I went to Brianna for three tattoos with just ideas and inspiration pictures and she gave me three beautiful pieces that I am ecstatic to have on my body forever. The price was great and totally worth it. She was amazing to talk to while I was getting tattooed and it wasn't that painful either. I am so glad I listened to my friend who recommended her because I love my tattoos and plan on going back for more as soon as I can!

Ryan Burke

I have been going to see Greg here for years. He has tattooed both my half sleeves. From the first interaction and all the way through, Greg has been fantastic. He takes great pride in his work and it shows in the final product. His attention to detail makes the intricate work and finer points of the tattoo really pop! On top of all of this, he's a awesome dude to chat with. Couldn't be happier with the work he's done over the years. Highly, highly recommend Rustic for any work, big or small.

Tania Jalbert

I've had Greg tattoo me multiple times now. He is awesome to work with and always delivers great results whether I want traditional or random anime tattoos. The shop is always clean and the ambiance is great. Very professional and I love that I can get it fairly quick and don't have to wait months! Double thumbs up!!

Kaitlyn Bright

I was tattooed by Brianna, and I cannot say enough good things about her! She’s so professional and nice. The tattoo shop is clean, set up well for covid protocols. I’ll be seeing Brianna for my future tattoo needs and wants!

Mister Donair

The whole process of working with Greg was great, he took my ideas and made them better than I could have come up with. 10/10 would go back, and plan to go back. Would recommend Rustic, and Greg to anyone!

Ashley Fukala

Greg & Brianna are amazing!!! They’re so talented! The location is easy to get to, clean and super welcoming! Highly recommend :)

Cassie Campbell

Brianna is an absolute Angel and is magical at her art! She has done all of my favourite tattoos! Every time I give her an idea she knocks it out of the park, I recommend her to anyone that will listen. She’s incredible and will not be disappointed ????

Josh Cooke

Dropped by to see Greg and have my first tattoo in a few years. He did a phenomenal job, was super friendly and my tattoo healed perfectly. Can't wait to get back for my next piece as soon as possible!

Lynda Cheverie

I went to see Brianna to get two flower tattoos for both of my girls and they turned out better then I could have ever imagined! Brianna did a amazing job on all of it and the colors she picked were AMAZING! I will definitely be going back here for all my tattoos in the future!

Sarah Lawley

I've seen greg for a couple different tattoos now and will definitely be back for more! Always professional, really chill and easy to talk to while you're getting tattooed. I've gotten a few in some more revealing places and always felt comfortable. Designs are always right on the mark! Both flash and custom pieces are beautiful. A great shop in the heart of downtown.

Shanie Clarke

Great tattoo experience! Clean shop, awesome atmosphere. Great was amazing!!

Tami Meredith

If I could summarize Rustic in a single word, it would be "outstanding." The work done by Greg and Brianna is simply first class; it's attractive, high quality, and done right. The facilities are clean and sanitization is performed at the hightest levels. The shop is conveient and comfortable; I've never been too hot or too cold and I've fallen asleep at least once during a session. The company is good and the big screen TV is really enjoyable during longer sessions. I've never found anything to complain about as Rustic is without a doubt the finest tattoo parlour around. I'm never going anywhere else for my ink because I want the best and I get that at Rustic.

Paige Stewart

I have had three tattoos done by Brianna now, and my experiences have been great every time! Rustic was is very easy to contact, the atmosphere is welcoming and accommodating, and the physical process has gone smoothly each time. All three of my tattoos have healed wonderfully; I receive compliments on my tattoos constantly! I’ve recommended Brianna to anyone who is looking to get a good clean tattoo done in downtown Halifax!

Anna Kerrivan

I got this piece done by Greg. He was amazing! He was very professional, and I love how the piece turned out. I gave him a rough idea of what I wanted and he created a beautiful piece! This tattoo is very sentimental to me as it represents the strong women in my life, and he brought the picture in my head to life!!

Paula Twohig

Amazing shop! The work that Brianna and Greg put out is outstanding. So professional. Recommend them to everyone I know looking for a new tattoo

Melissa Rykunyk MacKay

Amazing staff, super friendly, professional, clean and super talented . hands down best shop .

Emily Flinn

Got a full sleeve with Brianna. She helped with the full design! I went to her after a consult somewhere else was not positive. She listened to me and made time for the appointments with my busy schedule. By the end of it she knew the style of exactly what I was looking for one of the last tattoos was hand drawn on me. Would recommend this studio to anyone and everyone! The quality of the work is incredible but the experience is something you do not get everywhere. I had complete trust with this artist. I get complements on my sleeve weekly.

Jordan Webb

I have been going to Greg at Rustic tattoo for years. The shop is always clean and is just an overall great environment. The artist are very talented and friendly. I always look forward to my next tattoo session.

Caitlin Armitage

I have gotten all of my tattoos from Greg and he is amazing! Super clean, very professional and a great atmosphere to be in! Have so many plans for future tattoos, and will definitely be seeing Greg for more!

Haley Doyle

I have gotten two tattoos by Brianna this is just one of them. Most people when you get colour tell you that you are going to regret it because it will fade, it’s been over a year and my tattoo still looks the same as the day I got it! It took a few hours but it flew by with the jokes and laughs we had. They make sure your tattoo looks amazing, you are comfortable and that you have fun and the shop is beyond clean! I will definitely be back!

Jordan Duguay

I was tattooed by Greg. The attention to detail was on point with incredible shading and vibrant colors on Anemone and a Clownfish I got in July '21. Other than his work being amazing, I had a great time hanging out. A fun guy and an amazing artist. A+ will go again soon!

Kaitlyn Poulain

Greg is fantastic! He most recently did the piece pictured, as well as a great floral shoulder/neck piece, and a dreamcatcher on my foot. Greg is personable, professional, and produces quality work. The shop is very clean, and there is always a fun movie playing while he works. Excited for my next one!

Michelle Poirier

I've been following Greg around since I got my third tattoo/first from him back in 2008. He convinced me to get my first color tattoo and I'm so grateful he did! Love all my pieces and can't wait to get more!

Brendan.B

Greg always pokes me so good, dope work dude!

Matt Sandeson

I got my first ever tattoo done by Greg, he was super comfortable and checked in on me frequently during our session. I am super stoked with the quality of the piece he did for me and would absolutely go back to him for my next piece! Anybody that is interested in getting an anime style tattoo done, Greg is your guy!!! I got an Itachi Uchiha from the Naruto anime and couldn't have asked for it to look any better.

Shayne Fukala

I've been going to brianna and greg for quite some time now, and each time it's an amazing feeling. If I could describe the shop in a few words it would be, welcoming, down to earth and completely Chill AF ! Briann and Greg are tow of thre most chill people i've ever been tattooed by, and i'll contine to recommed them to EVERYONE that asks for a spot to get a tattoo, out of my 27 tattoos, 24 have been done by the shop !! Great enviroment for newbies, experts, and anyone that doesn't want to stress out when getting a tattoo. Bonus, they watch the best movies, and listen to some rocking music. 10/10 !!

Jimmy Best

Been getting tattooed by Greg for 16+ years now. Never disappointed and always amazed at how he takes my skeleton ideas and makes them into full fledges pieces. Can't recommend him enough!!!!

Jillian Lewis

Most of my tattoos have been done by Greg. Great quality of work, clean space. His color and cartoon/comic book work are amazing! Can't wait to get more work done by Greg. You will not be disappointed.

Zachary Murphy

been goingnl to greg for 8 years almost now and its always a blast. Fun laid back place with some good tunes & good tv to distract newbies from the pain. I'll never go to another place as long as this place is in business ????????

Alicia Dagenais

Brianna and Greg are both amazing and super friendly. I’ve been tattooed by Brianna a few times and she’s very friendly, kind and does amazing work. She made sure that the tattoo for my daughter was perfect. The work I’ve seen from Greg is also amazing. I’ve never once felt awkward or uncomfortable being in the shop and always recommend Rustic Tattoos to people who are looking for reliable and good work!

Jess West

While obviously being a fantastic artist, the reason I like coming back to Greg is his personality. I chose one of his flash pieces and he absolutely killed it, I love it so much. As a person who suffers with pretty crippling anxiety, seeing new artists is a huge struggle for me. I told Greg this and he went above and beyond to make me feel not only perfectly comfortable, but actually have a good time sitting in the chair. I love the work he does (and am currently sitting through my second piece by him) but the care he shows his clients is pretty remarkable. I'll definitely continue coming back.

terrianne mcfadden

Only one word can describe Brianna and her artwork- AMAZING. I have had my shoulder piece for just over 6 months, and the complements I have received are amazing- I've even had individuals take pictures and reference the placement. Brianna designed my whole piece, and selected the exact placement. I went back for the large piece of work after having a small tattoo done on my rib cage in November. It was after that appointment I was sold on having my shoulder/arm completed by Brianna, a tattoo I have wanted for years but struggled to find the right artist. Not only is the artwork next level, but so are the other artists and the general environment. If your considering going to rustic tattoos- go. I know I'll be going back.

Jaime Ciuffreda

Greg is amazing!!! Super chill vibe and knew exactly what I wanted. Really great to talk to and priced well. Definitely going back.

Raine

I get so many compliments on my tattoo from Greg, the colours are absolutely gorgeous and everyone always thinks it's a fresh tattoo. The shop has a great atmosphere! I look forward to going back :)
