Chronic Ink - Tattoo Shop Toronto

Unfortunately had a somewhat bad experience. The bottom of the tattoo which was a little cartoon turned out wonderful, and I thank him for that, that cartoon it means a lot to me. The speech bubble above looked great freshly done but the words blurred into each other in about a year. I'm currently getting tattoo removal on it and was told the needle was too thick for the small wording. The other aspects of the cartoon character are beautiful and the tiny legs are easily discerned, I suppose the outline of that was single needle. I know I brought in a small cartoon with small wording & cartoon wording is thick I know. To be honest he warned me about it blurring, and I agreed to that. But if he had suggested doing the same font but skinnier with less of a chance of blurring I would have agreed to that. I thought the text at that size meant it just had a risk of being blurred. It was my first tattoo and yes I should have tried to know more beforehand but the shop had such great reviews I went in blind. Just research your tattoo before, what size you want done, what thickness, i'm sure they would have done a better job if I had been more exact.

The coolest and most welcoming shop I've been to. Jack pierced my 2nd lobes and eyebrow and was incredibly thorough. They took their time making sure the placement was perfect, and the banter during the service was amazing. They're so knowledgeable and thoughtful.

Awesome place to have jewellery removed! I had a stud that was stuck in my ear for years removed at Chronic Ink - they did it in less than 5 minutes. Really nice staff, too! Would highly recommend.

Really pleasant experience getting tattooed with Chou. One of the hardest working tattoo artists out there. Worked all night on my 2 large colored tattoos. Frequently checked up on me and even did leg massage on me when my leg got numb. Over all 10/10 with Chou!

Tattoo didn’t heal well despite following directions - lots of bald patches within the first month.I was also told I can get a free touch up within 6 months, but upon requesting a touch up (4 months after my tattoo) they refused to offer me the complimentary touch up because they said their policy is 3 months, not 6. A side note: at the time of my tattoo appointment, they explicitly told me that coming in sooner than 3-4 months for a touch up was too soon, and that I have 6 months for a free touch up. This is why I waited until 4 months post-appointment.This was my first tattoo experience ever, and despite me being given misinformation, Chronic Ink did not take responsibility nor try to make amends for my poor experience - they not only said “there’s nothing we can do”, they tried to tell me that I was the one who misunderstood them when I was VERY clearly told 6 months.Very disappointed because I was planning on returning to Chronic Ink for many more tattoos, but I will not be going back.

Tyler was fantastic during my first piercing experience. He talked me through the process of getting my earlobes pierced, explained what he was doing each step of the way and provided a lot of information for healing and aftercare. 100% recommend Tyler and Chronic Ink as a great piercing destination.

Soy was AMAZING!! She did a portrait of my dog and it’s beyond my expectations! The hours she charged for the tattoo were very fair and her work is so detailed! Such a GREAT experience for my first tattoo! HIGHLY recommend!!

I've been looking to get full sleeves done on both arms, and have multiple sessions scheduled from October 2022 to May 2023. The photo I've shared is from my first session. They have some extremely talented artists, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Contacting Chronic Ink with your tattoo idea and providing reference images helps them pair you with the right artist.

Such a good experience with Vee for a new conch piercing! I booked it online about an hour before the appointment (which was super easy because of the online booking system). Vee was very knowledgeable, it was clean and I felt in good hands the whole time. Thanks Vee!
