Amazing staff working here! Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! Kristy truly brought my tattoo idea to life, and I have not been short of people telling me how amazing it looks. I will be looking here to book my next tattoo!

I went in for a foot tattoo today. What an excellent atmosphere! So friendly and my amazing artist..I can not say enough about Colleen. So talented, gentle and patient. Thank you so much for being so great with me! Really I can not say enough about the shop, people and experience.

Ellen Hunks

The whole team was so friendly and Harmeet was awesome. He did a great job on my newest piece. The place is fun but also quite relaxing, really enjoyed my experience.

Joy Tesch Hair

Very professional and beautiful work!

Tawnie Johnson

Not only was Kat flexible and able to get me in a time that worked. She worked diligently on the design. Her line work is beautiful and the detail she puts into the shading is exquisite. I can't wait to adopt a couple more tattoos from her and would high suggest you do as well! :D

Alice Pitka

I went to Jen for my first tattoo. She was recommended to me as the Goto person for Angels. She did an awesome job on my Archangel Gabriel tattoo. I just had a turtle tattoo done by her and so looking forward to hiring her for the next one as soon as I can afford.

Marina Schmidt

First time getting a tattoo and the ladies there were amazing. Saw Sydney and she did an amazing job with explaining and keeping me comfortable.

Malum Vixen

I got my first tattoo here. Being a 16 year old, they treated me very well. Answered every question I asked, ensured that I thought my tattoo out well, and made the general experience great!! Everyone was so nice, and when the day finally came to get my tattoo, the experience was calm and enjoyable. My tattoo is more incredible then I ever would have expected it to be, and it's all thanks to the patience and respect that was shown to me. I would 100% recommend Mama Tried to any newby–or veteran, that wants a tattoo :-)

Bonny Stevenson

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would get a Tattoo. But after my 17 year old son was killed by an impaired driver, I decided to get a tattoo about my boys. Kat was so patient in helping me get it right. She took all the crazy element I gave her and created this beautiful tattoo honoring my beautiful babies.

Ronalda Nilson

Had my tattoo done by Hermet. He was professional and made me feel very comfortable. His work is amazing. I wanted a realistic crocodile and he nailed it!! Will recommend him any time and will definitely go back to him.

HARMEET TATTOO did my first tattoo, he is an amazing artist with very sharp talent. He is very detail oriented and best with realistic tattoo. 110% recommended from me for your first and best tattoo, he will do his best job beyond your own expectation.

Valentina Klymiuk

Got my first tattoo there with Harmeet. He was very much professional and kind. All staff is nice and my experience was great. Highly recommended!

Carlene Green

Kristy was absolutely amazing. I sent her an idea of what I wanted and she went above and beyond what I could expect. I wanted a stitch tattoo with water color. She took this pic and changed the pose and also added more color. For only an hour of tattoo time she nailed it!!! I'm super happy with my tattoo and can't wait till it heals so I can show it off to family and friends. Thanks a bunch Kristy you rock!!!

Samantha Bear

I saw Sydney here after looking to get a flower piece done. Great service. Great shop. Would recommend.

Sammi Kopeck

Kat recently finished my sleeve and I could not be happier! She captured and executed my idea so perfectly. Everyone at Mama Tried is so kind and it’s a super welcoming and chill environment. Perfect place to get tattooed :)

kristy nakoneshny

Harmeet is amazing!! He is an extremely talented, professional artist who pays attention to every little detail. If your thinking of getting a tattoo I'd absolutely recommend him. You wont be disappointed!

Paulette Stein

Kat is such a kind, caring person, an amazing artist, and professional in every way. Her calm and confident demeanour immediately made me feel comfortable, and I am thrilled with her work. I have, and will continue to recommend her to family and friends!

Pagan Pride

Charlie was phenomenal and went out of her comfort zone instead of offering other artists that might be happier to do my tattoo,and even gave options to do it differently to what I had in the picture. We decided to do negative space and I'm sure it will be even more stunning once it's done. The counter staff that made me feel welcome the moment I opened the door I still need one more visit and can't wait to finish it

Tara Wolfe

Fransisco Did my tattoo! And it turned out absolutely perfect! I got lettering done with swirls around it, I showed Francisco an idea of what I wanted and he made it happen! The writing is perfect, thin, neat, showing friends my new tattoo everyone of them said “wow I gotta go see that guy, he did an amazing job” honestly makes me wish I got all my tattoos done here, don’t. Think I’ll be going anywhere else after this!

Leila Benmerrouche

Fransisco was absolutely amazing and completely understanding and thorough with his work, fixed my tattoo to make it look better and fun to talk to! Thank you!

Caila Schenstead

So talented. Amazing detail. Can't wait to get my next tattoo.

Katrina Rudolph

Kat was phenomenal! She was patient with me when I asked to make changes to the original sketch, and worked with me to get it exactly how I had it in my head. I know my tattoo was a bit tricky with it being a coverup of a fairly new tattoo, but she accepted the challenge it and it turned out beyond what I could have ever imagined. I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out and can't wait to get another tattoo from her!

When I asked Kat to freshen up my 20 year old tattoo, she offered up some fantastic ideas for improving on the original design. Now it looks better than it ever did - I'm very happy with her work!

Teneille Murr

I have a number of tattoos from Kat and I am so I obsessed with all of them! She does amazing work and I honestly just love sitting in her chair and having a visit! The time melts away like you’re having coffee with a friend and at the end you have a beautiful new piece of art on your body

Michael Wyeth

A while back I had a bad experience with an artist who no longer works in the city. Kat reached out to me and went absolutely above and beyond to fix the issue, and completely surpassed my expectations. I just want to send a big thanks to Kat for helping me out so much. I will definitely be doing more business with her, and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking.

Have been multiple times and will be back for many more!

Cheryl McAvoy

Myself and my partner have been here multiple times, and every time has been so pleasant. Our artist made sure the placement, size and details were perfect before proceeding with the tattoo's. Once it came time to tattooing, she made sure we were comfortable and ready to start. The finished products look fantastic and healed really well. Overall, such a great experience and the shop has a great vibe too. Can't wait to go back!

Valerie Caron

Highly recommend Colleen and the team at Mama Tried! My entire experience was excellent; from the customer service, cleanliness, communication with staff, knowledge, and overall environment. All of the staff is courteous, informative, kind and approachable. I attended a consultation where all of my concerns and questions were addressed. My artist, Colleen, was open and took the time to get to know me and get to know the story behind my tattoo. Communication was excellent. Protocols were clear and I felt the environment was clean and comforting.The actual tattoo experience was also great! I felt comfortable, informed and supported. Each step was explained and I had many opportunities to ask questions and change things if I wanted to. Great experience for a first tattoo!

Desiree Moody

“Kat was amazing and so kind throughout the tattoo which is absolutely incredible! The design was something I'd been thinking about it for years and it turned out even better than I hoped. Kat you're a phenomenal artist. Alexa thanks for the speedy responses to my emails and for the great customer service. You guys rock! Desiree”

Stunning artist. Professional shop.

Jzach_19

Professional, incredibly talented and creative artist. I am honored to have Kats work with me forever!!

Jeff Mccullough

Ok Im not one to fill these things out but I feel this one is necessary. Kat was nothing short of amazing her work was astonishing. professionalism nothing short of perfection. She is not satisfied unless you are. I made a major change almost the whole tattoo the day before and she did it for me no questions asked. I was very nervous to get a portrait of my dog that passed away but kat nailed it and I would very highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kat

Marnie Rolleston

Kat is absolutely amazing and so talented. I was very nervous about getting a tattoo on my forearm and wanted it to be a very special one. Kat was very patient with my changes and adjustments to the original drawing until I felt it was perfect. And it is. Now I want more added and will definitely be going to Mama Tried to expand on it if they'll have me.

Kayla A

I received my first and second tattoo at Mama Tried. Sydney was an absolute pleasure to be tattooed by (both times) and made the experience very enjoyable. She was patient and did her best to make my first tattoo stress free. From start to finish, both tattoo experiences were great. The overall feeling the studio is very welcoming and chill. I'm very happy to have been a small part of her apprenticeship and I hope to return Mama Tried in the future.

Rick Hounjet

I am very very happy with my tattoo I received from Jen! Very professional, super friendly and her work is outstanding! I highly recommend Jen! Thank you! Will be back again!

I have so far gotten 4 tattoos and planning on getting more from her! She is amazingly talented! Highly recommend!

Val Leri

I have quite a few tattoos from different artists/shops, but this one is for sure my favourite! Everyone is welcoming, the atmosphere is nice, and my artist was the most professional I've ever had! She sat with me to create a design, make sure I liked the design prior to coming in, as well as liking the placement. The tattoos turned put amazing too! I just can not say enough good things. I will definitely recommend this place to others, and go back!

Rhiannon Caswell

I absolutely love Sydney's work! I now have 3 tattoos from her and am booked in for a 4th. She is super friendly and professional and it's clear that she's very passionate about her work and about giving her clients a design they love. Definitely recommend her and I will definitely keep coming back for more beautiful pieces!
