10/10 would recommend this shop and specifically Nick. He was absolutely fantastic. I gave him nothing to go off of besides “I want it to make people slightly uncomfortable” and he nailed it.So happy to have found this place and my new tattoo artist!Thanks Nick! You will be seeing me soon

A few weeks ago Nick gave me a beautiful phoenix tattoo and I absolutely adore it! The shop itself is a clean and welcoming environment and Nick is super friendly and fun to work with! I will definitely be back!

Nick gave me my first tattoo to commemorate my fight against lung cancer. I didn't know what to expect and was pleased to be greeted in an exceptionally clean environment. We talked about what I wanted and determined that it would be a very quick project (under an hour) and so availability allowed me to get it that day. I was so grateful for his easy going demeanor and caring attitude. He made the experience of getting my first tattoo a great one. Thank you.

Nick was absolutely amazing. My tattoo was beyond my expectations and loved the design he came up with. Would recommend Nick to anyone wanting to get some ink! I'll definitely go back to Barnacle Ink in the future. The shop was clean and professional.

Nick Watson was an absolute treasure! I was only available to be in town for the day (I'm from Saskatchewan), Nick did everything he could to make sure I could get in; he was incredibly accommodating. Nick's response time with emails was very efficient as well. His excitement and enthusiasm to be be part of my tattoo was wonderful (it's a build-on leg band of various landscapes of Canada where I've ran marathons). He was very kind and frequently checked in on how I was doing during the tattoo. I would strongly recommend him and this shop. It was a treat and pleasure to be a client at Barnacle Ink.

Easy booking process and welcoming environment. I have gotten a few tattoos from the artists and Barnacle Ink and I love them all! The healing process was easy and I trust the artists to always do a great job with my design ideas! Would definitely recommend the shop and I’ll be back again!
