Studio Maxx: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Awesome tattoo for my first one!
Fantastic experience: Syd squeezed in me, my sister, and my mom on a Sunday (normally her day off) to get matching tattoos. On top of that, the tattoos were incredibly well done! Definitely will be back.
Fantastic experience: Got multiple tattoos here from Tom, hands down the most reliable artist in the province for color tattoos
Fantastic experience: Perfect!!!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Taylor.P from Studio Maxx ! Taylor is absolutely flawless in her work. Taylor is after doing around 20/30+ of my tattoos. I've been going to her for over 4 years and wouldn't have it any other way. Not only is she flawless in her work she is also kind and sweet.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Taylor for a couple of years now and she’s honestly the best. Her work is unreal! I’ve had both original pieces and rework/cover-up tattoos done by her, and every single one has exceeded my expectations. She’s so sweet, easy to talk to, and always makes me feel super comfortable. I’ve sent a bunch of my friends to her and they’ve all said the same thing. Can’t recommend her enough — she’s truly amazing at what she does!
Fantastic experience: Love my tattoo!!
Fantastic experience: Loved the experience! Sean was super gentle and showed great attention to detail
Negative experience: definitely my worst tattoo experience the art came out fine, but taylor made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. i will not be going back to her. i made a few attempts to talk to taylor during the appointment, trying to keep my mind off of the pain. she was short and snappy with her responses, and she seemed much more interested in talking to her coworker. i tried to include the coworker in the conversation a few times, to which the both of them gave short and snappy responses before continuing to only talk to one another. i understand sometimes our social batteries aren’t full, sometimes we aren’t in the mood to have big lengthy conversations, or even to talk at all, and that’s so valid. that said, i felt like an inconvenience to taylor and her coworker, i felt like i was a bother. while someone is stabbing me repeatedly, inflicting PAIN on me, especially when they’re being PAID to do so, i don’t want to feel like an inconvenience or a bother. i want to feel like a valued customer. i want to feel at least COMFORTABLE while i’m getting tattooed. taylor absolutely failed to provide a comfortable space. no other tattoo artist has made me feel like such an inconvenience to them. had i known the tattoo experience was going to be like that i would’ve taken my business to someone else. very mid and uncomfortable experience, i do not recommend taylor

Fantastic experience: Thomas has done over a dozen tattoos for me now, and the service is always awesome! Can't imagine going anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: A group of us took a trip to Newfoundland to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday. We contacted Sean a few weeks before we arrived to commemorate our trip with a group tattoo session. The shop is extremely friendly, very clean and a great vibe. We all left with custom tattoos and thanks to the team at Studio Maxx, we were in and out without having to spend the day waiting around. If you’re planning a trip to the East Coast and want to get tattooed during your trip or you’re local. I highly recommend visiting this shop, we all couldn’t be happier with the results and a keepsake from our trip.
Fantastic experience: Sydney tattoo
Fantastic experience: Syd was amazing, highly recommend.. she does great work.
Fantastic experience: Sydney was great very professional and I absolutely love my tattoo
Fantastic experience: Great environment, friendly staff and great tattoo artists.
Fantastic experience: Sean was amazing!
Fantastic experience: Love this place for my piercings, I got my vertical labret done a few years ago and my left nose pierced here with a hoop which is coming up to year ago this month highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had the absolute best experience with Taylor Pollard as my artist. I couldn't be happier with how well her fine line work captured my mermaid tattoo perfectly. I only visit my home, St. John's NL every few years as I live on the mainland now, but I have a feeling all my ink will now be happening whenever I'm home. Thank you Taylor. Your talent and refreshing nature surfacing as we talked, was worth every dime and every second of waiting to be tattooed by you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience would come again
Fantastic experience: Tom is great at what he does. He just did my 4th tattoo. The experience has been so good, that I will go back again.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience from start to finish. Thank you Sean for making our trip to St. John's so special.
Fantastic experience: Always so professional and so clean! Everyone who works at Studio Maxx past and present has been phenomenal!
Positive experience: Kaitlyn was amazing! Super flexible, communicative, and sweet. Beautiful art- I'm very pleased!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for years, never fails to disappoint!
Fantastic experience: It was amazing work will come again
Fantastic experience: Pedro did an impromptu cover-up for me when I was at home for a visit. I had gotten a tattoo from a friend who was an apprentice several years ago, and it was not great, plus in a very visible spot. Contacted this shop and was very grateful Pedro had a cancelation. I sent him a picture of my laser lightened tattoo and an idea of what I was looking for. What he drew was amazing! We talked about colours when I got there and he was very nice and respectful of my input-unlike many other tattoo shops I've visited. The result is so much better than I could have dreamed! Thanks so much for the beautiful artwork that I'm proud to show off!
Fantastic experience: Love coming here! Kaitlyn was amazing
Fantastic experience: Popped in for a travel souvenir and was not disappointed. Everyone in the shop was friendly, the shop was super clean, and Adam drew up exactly what I wanted!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. It was my first tattoo, and I was very nervous, not knowing what to expect. Mike reassured me that everything would be okay. He helped create something that was very meaningful. It's a start and I can't wait to see the finished product! I would defiantly recommend Studio MAXX, especially Mike:)
Fantastic experience: Just got a dino head with Pedro he’s super cool, very quick. Checked in with me throughout, overall solid clean tattoo (his work is super cool would recommend)
Fantastic experience: Got a flash done by Tom Foolery at studio maxx, they’re always a delight to work with both in their work and in their hospitality. Staff are all super friendly and helpful from experienced tattoo havers to newbies. Big big big recommend!!!!
Fantastic experience: Tom does awesome work!
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff! Awesome place, great service! Done a amazing job on the tattoo!
Positive experience: My niece went there and they charged her $175 "cash". No receipt. The tattoo was very simple an infinity with St. John's and home written in it.
Hi Donna! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We have also reached out via email to address your concerns. I can confirm she was charged $150 plus tax. And we’re sorry that our debit machine is currently broken, but the ATM is available inside

Fantastic experience: Great service, got a redrawn flash by Pedro. Very quick and solid piece
Fantastic experience: Дуже сподобався майстер( невисокий, з бородою, балакучий). Спочатку мені хрящик проколов,взагалі не боліло! І дуже швидко! А потім доньці вушка. Причому, вона хотіла одне, боялася( їй 8) а потім, зрозумівши, що це не боляче, і на друге згодилася. Дуже рекомендую. 2 вушка 60 баксів, а мій хрящик 40. Купили там пшикалку для дезінфекції. Сьогодні вже 5 день, ранки затягнулися, майже не відчуваю.
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to leave this , but unfortunately, this review does not belong to us. We are tattoos only. You had a service done at another company Called master piercings. We only do tattoos.
Fantastic experience: got my second tattoo ever there a couple days ago. man what a job!! i had an appointment with sean and he was great, amazing conversations and delivery! 10/10. also got a free sticker when i left (+1 bonus) will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: I deal with Sean every time and he is absolutely amazing, doesn’t disappoint! Wouldn’t trust anyone else here!:)
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful, talented. Definately recommend.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience I love my tattoo, I’m very very happy thanks guys
Fantastic experience: Sean was awesome to deal with! Tattoo looks amazing with vibrant colors. Overall extremely pleasant experience!
Fantastic experience: I like Holly, she does good and we have fun :3
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Studio Maxx for many years and always have the best experience. I’ve been tattooed by a few different artists there and always receive the same respect, great communication and awesome ink!
Fantastic experience: Sean was amazing! i was travelling Newfoundland so only had a small window of time to get a tattoo done. He squeezed me in and did an amazing job. He was super comfortable to be around and was very friendly. Thank you Sean!! i love my tattoo
Fantastic experience: Pedro was great! We fit me and my husband in for a last minute travel souvenir tattoo!!! Great to work with, and very talented!
Fantastic experience: Great service
Fantastic experience: Great experience!!! I got work done by Sean. It's not my first tattoo. I could have fallen asleep it was so smooth. My design was understood and perfectly rendered. Very happy and would go back in I lived in NFLD ;)
Positive experience: The artist was great very nice person and did me a huge favour by getting me a piece so quick unfortunately tho it isn't what I asked for. It wasn't really close to the reference picture I gave. And I did specify that I wanted it to be more cartoony or animated which wasn't what I got at all. Also the color faded immediately and then melded into this gross grey so I got it fixed but it still faded bad and left me scared. Again though it wasn't all on the artist I had lost my friend and it was a tribute to him so I was not in an emotional place to tell him I didn't like the work when he finish. Again I do wanna say he was a great guy and if this is your style he did amazing work, the words are fenominal but it's not the style I asked for.
Fantastic experience: My mom and I came here on our trip to Newfoundland to get commemorative tattoos and it was a fantastic experience! The shop is very clean and welcoming, and there were great spaces for each artist. Sean worked with us to get the perfect design and placement. The appointment went by in the blink of an eye, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We would definitely recommend coming here for tattoos.
Fantastic experience: Extremely talented, friendly Artists.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, and very helpful when booking appointments
Fantastic experience: Awesome guys
Fantastic experience: I went to Master piercings to get my nose and ear pierced, the people there were so nice! Right from the start at the front counter to the end when paying. It was a great experience! I 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had a previous tattoo done in honour of my mom, who passed away from pancreatic cancer. I found a signature of hers saying “Love Mom”. Sean O’Grady put that under the tattoo and when it was done, I cried. It was so overwhelming to see her handwriting on my arm. Then he did a water colour set of paw prints, to honour past and present pets. The colouring and design was amazing. I was so impressed with the fantastic job he did. When I arrived at the shop, I was made to feel very welcomed. The whole experience was like being part of a family, I felt so comfortable. The pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Sean
Positive experience: I had my tattoo done by Melissa. Her design was amazing and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: This was a great experience I had my first tattoo done there and I will for sure go there again it was very clean and welcoming all the staff was very friendly great business
Fantastic experience: I love Studio Maxx and have had many services from this business over the years. They employee great artists who take the time to do quality work. Their customer communication, talent and professionalism goes above and beyond. I will continue to support their artists and business for years to come. Highly recommend.
Positive experience: I got an orbital. The piercer was very nice and it all went quickly. But he missed the dot entirely which kinda sucked. Not a bad place by any means but If you’re particular about what you want, this might not be the place for you.
Hi Barbara.
Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback, however this review is not relevant to us as we no longer do piercings. You had your service done at master piercings, we would truly appreciate it if you could remove this review and leave it with the correct business
Positive experience: friendly people made room for me even though they were booked up,wil definitely come back
Fantastic experience: Great service, excellent client relations with service provider. Friendly customer service and support. I highly recommend this place.
Negative experience: I went here for piercings for myself and my son. We were told right away that they were a little behind which was fine. At fifteen minutes late, my son got his ear done. 30 minutes later I was still waiting and the artist then left for some reason unknown to me (perhaps a break, I’m not sure). I left without getting mine done. Very disappointed.
Hi Janet ! Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback, but unfortunately this does not belong to us at studio maxx as we are strictly tattooing and have been for over a year now, you had your service done at master piercings, we would truly appreciate if you could remove this feedback and leave it to the correct business as we are actually not affiliated with them
Fantastic experience: Chris on the Master Piercings side of Studio maxx did my 8 year olds lobes today. She was a bit scarred but determined to go through with it. Chris talked her through it with a few stories and got her smiling. Would recommend to anyone with kids looking for there first piercing. But let the kids make the choice man! Priced vary fairly compared to some other locations around town. Great experience overall. A++
Hey T! I know the piercers love to hear feedback, and I know they would truly appreciate this one. But please keep in mind master piercings are technically not affiliated with Studiomaxx, they are their own business. So this great review belongs to their business, not ours.
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for almost 3 years now and I'll never go anywhere else!! The diversity in talent and styles between all the artists is incredible. The shop is super clean, the atmosphere is incredible and you'll never leave here unhappy! The artists will work with you to help you get the best experience and the best tattoo possible!
Fantastic experience: I got my tattoo March 19 by Sean. It was a beautiful tattoo and a beautiful job. I love this place. I always refer customers there as well. Amazing place to be. I was treated very well and everyone was very nice and friendly.. I always feel like family.. Until next time Amazing Team Thank you Marleena
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo there and it was amazing!! Very friendly and helpful too!
Fantastic experience: Studio Maxx is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone
Fantastic experience: Awesome service!!! The shop is kept super clean and follows all of the covid guidelines and the artists are absolutely amazing!!!
Fantastic experience: On May 1st myself and my friend had Sean for our friendship tattoos. I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Our emails leading up to our appointment were answered timely and the design was adjusted according to our input. On the day of the tattoo we were delighted to be able to be together to have them done. The shop itself is clean, comfortable, and respectful of personal space needs. Sean was friendly, knowledgeable, provided excellent advice, and overall it was a very positive experience for both of us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this business and, in particular, Sean. Love the tattoo! Anita Norman
Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo done mid April with the wonderful Melissa ( she did the negative space deathly hallows/Jedi symbol in the middle of my family’s birthflowers , which is the start of my lower half sleeve ) Booking the tattoo was super easy with the new booking software , very quick to respond and nailed the design it was even better then I could have imagined . Even got a reminder text/email before the appointment. The shop is super clean and they are focused on cleanliness and making the client comfortable. My tattoo took about 4 hours and she checked regularly to make sure I was comfortable or needed a break , and didn’t seem to mind chatting for the full tattoo lol.at the end she cleaned it all up and bandaged it with Saniderm and gave me instructions on how to take care of it and how to change the dressing and the offer to come back it if I had issues changing the dressing myself . I had my tattoo maybe two weeks and had another appointment booked for myself ( to get three separate small tattoos ) and my mom ( to match one of mine lol) for June 16th. After seeing my tattoo my mom has been dying to go for one ! Can’t wait for the next appointment ekkk! Loves studio maxx and will never go anywhere else for a tattoo ❤️
Fantastic experience: I got a beautiful tattoo done by Thomas and I will be going back for the rest of my sleeve tattoos. He goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. He understood exactly what I wanted, and made it happen. He is a great conversationalist as well which really helps to distract from the pain and made time fly by. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Great Service.
Fantastic experience: My name is Angela George and I could not be more happy with my experience getting my first tattoo. Sean was very friendly, understanding, caring, kind hearted and completely there for your well being and comfort. The detail and colours that went into my butterflies are amazing. All the beautiful compliments I get makes me so very happy. I give studio Maxx a 10/10. They are very clean and sterilized business. The detail thats put into there work is amazing. I'd recommend studio Maxx to new and experienced. Im very proud to be wearing there art and my body.
Fantastic experience: I've had 3 piercings done there and as well went along with 3 other people while they got pierced, and every single time was a 10/10 experience. They're very sterile and professional, showing you the new needle every time and visibly handwashing, sanitizing (before the pandemic as well). As well, not only are the piercings done well, but they make well sure you're aware of where it's going, what's happening, etc... Could not recommend this place more!! And very reasonable pricing.
Fantastic experience: Very considerate and will go out of their way to do the absolute best they can for you! Both of my tattoos were done exactly how I wanted and healed beautifully.
Fantastic experience: You wanna great tattoo go see Mike Seymour
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Studio Maxx for my tattoos since 2013. My last experience was amazing. I had a tattoo done back in August and it was on my thigh, kind of an awkward position for me to lay down and had to adjust myself a couple times. The artist was nice and had no problems with letting me fix my position to feel comfortable. After it was done, he offered for me to come in the following day to put on the week bandage as it was important for it to go on smoothly, I knew I wasn't capable of doing it by myself so we scheduled a time and I was in and out within 5 minutes!
Fantastic experience: Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They done my cover up and made me feel so comfortable! They asked questions about how I was feeling and if I needed to take a break or if I needed a drink or anything. They were very professional the Entire time! I have had multiple people comment on my tattoo and say they absolutely love it and ask where I had it done! They are doing such a good job to keep their customers safe during this pandemic, everything is sanitized upon arrival! Overall awesome experience and I’ll defiantly be back soon!
