Kitchener Tattoo

Fantastic experience: i wish i could give Kitchener Tattoo a higher star rating, Nivek has done an amazing job on all of my tattoos, great environment and art. he’s incredibly knowledgeable in his work with amazing pieces

Fantastic experience: Came for tattoos, coming back for the banter. A couple friends and I got some matchy crows to start a murder, couldn't have asked for a better team of tattoo artists to execute it! Thanks Gary, Nivek and Ren, we love you!

Fantastic experience: 1st time there very friendly, professional and amazing job on the tattoo would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ren for exceptional tattoo work; I recently booked a small, colorful hand tattoo with her, and she did a phenomenal job, expertly integrating my designs with her unique artistic flair. The entire experience was a pleasure, as she was engaging and professional, and I was pleasantly surprised by how competitive their shop rates are compared to other local studios.

Fantastic experience: I had two tattoos done at Kitchener tattoo. I’m going to go back for a third maybe when I get back from Ireland in November. They are awesome people. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Unreal shop, clean & professional. Nivek is a great guy and a great artist.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Gary for 20+years, he's an absolute gem & so unbelievably talented

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the privilege this past year of meeting and quickly becoming a loyal customer of Nivek. To date, he has done eight tattoos, two were cover-ups, one of those cover-ups was the largest piece, amazing results every damn time! Kitchener Tattoo is a clean, professional, and welcoming environment with lovely staff. Nivek is exceedingly knowledgeable, offers wise advice, and the results have consistently exceeded my expectations. If you’re seeking an experienced tattooist who’s a true artist and straight shooter, I’ll recommend Nivek until I’m blue in the face. I’m proud to wear his beautiful interpretations of my visions.

Fantastic experience: My first ever tattoo and I mean wow, Gary is just amazing in what he does.this experience couldn't go better,fast, clean, amazing artist and believe me you won't regret if you book him.love it and it won't be the last tattoo that's for sure.thanks man

Fantastic experience: Gary did my tattooo an i love it!!! Cant wait for round two

Fantastic experience: By far the best experience hence why I come back. Not only is this place super clean and professional but they are very informative. I recently had a tattoo done in a private atea and a private piercing put back in. As a woman, this can be daunting but they were super professional, understanding and made me feel so comfortable. Couldn’t be more happier with my tattoo and the piercer (I forget names I’m sorry) was an absolute gem. Love this place and will only go here going forward for any tattoo and piercings that I need. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Would recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: I booked a spontaneous appointment with Ren and sent a couple reference photos for what I was looking for, she made it happen. Very professional and just a lovely person to have work done with. I would definitely go back if I was in the area.

Negative experience: My girlfriend and I got our first tattoos a few months ago with Nivek. The customer service experience was good, Nivek was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, we both feel that our tattoos were rushed and came out sloppy. Both of our tattoos have scarring, blown out lines, the tree trunk is not filled in *See attached photos

Fantastic experience: I love the tattoo that Nivek worked on for me and he was a great guy to chat with

Fantastic experience: Gary is the best! Amazing quality of work. An extremely versatile artist.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get work done. Gary is a true professional, talented and friendly. 100% would recommend

Fantastic experience: We had hand tattoos done here. Nivek is such a skilled artist, with such a light touch. Very clean and sanitary.

Fantastic experience: Nivek is great and very professional. I’m very happy with my tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Ren did my joker and star tattoos and the star for my friend. Absolutely love my new ink she did an amazing job, can't wait to book my next tattoos with her in the new year.

Fantastic experience: Ren's Tattoo at Kitchener is exceptional! Talented and professional, Ren takes your vision to the next level. Clean studio, vibrant atmosphere, and a masterpiece in the end. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Gary is amazing!! I have had many tattoos done by him and he is currently doing my sleeve of lions and after just the first session I am in awe!!! I love it so much and can’t wait to see what the rest will look like!!

Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo done in May on my arm with Gary and I’m absolutely in love with the tattoo. It is exactly what I wanted, and I can’t wait to book another appointment with him. Gary is super nice and funny, and he plays some great music during the process. Couldn’t ask for a better experience getting my first tattoo!

Fantastic experience: Nivek had a straight up exchange helped break a creative block and got the tattoo design down. Solid.

Positive experience: Great place for tattoos and piercing. I have had 3 tattoos and 2 piercing done there. But the owner was really nice to me but really rude to my elderly mother.

Fantastic experience: I waited way too long for a cover up I needed for a tattoo I got in the early eighties. Gary nailed it! Inked exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: I have gotten all my tattoos done here by Ren and every time I have come for an appointment they are always nice and straight forward and are easy to talk to and also super easy to work around my availability and scheduling appointments. I will continue to keep coming here for my tattoos

Fantastic experience: The literal best place to get your first tattoo. Very friendly and welcoming. They have a card that they give you with care instructions, play awesome music, and have real conversations with you about anything. Definitely going back for another tattoo.

Negative experience: I told him my size for my piercing and he gave me very big size piercing. And he said that size not gonna fit on me. Now I got very large big size piercing because of that guy.

Fantastic experience: Got tattooed by Gary today and I couldn’t be more pleased. He did an amazing job with shadows and lines. It was my first tattoo and he made sure I was feeling ok and comfortable . Very friendly environment. Will definitely come back! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience!!! Definitely going back to see Gary!!!!

Negative experience: our experience at the shop was great. everything went smoothly as far as we knew. my daughter's nose screw came out and there is no one able to help us get it back in until Saturday because the piercer has another job as well. so just know that if you need aftercare it may not be available. they were helpful over text but I needed help in person. we visited another shop to get help and now are left with so much information and a decision to let it heal and start fresh. the piercing was at such an angle that it was near impossible to get anything straight into the hole. so had we never had this fallen out we would have never known and she would have had a lifetime of trouble with the angle of this hole.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Nivek for a decade now, and I'm always happy with the work. He's also a great guy.

Fantastic experience: Just got my first tattoo and it was a great experience. Gary is an excellent artist and really easy to work with. Fun conversation and I love my tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Nivek was awesome. My tattoo turned out great! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great service, experience was excellent. Had work done by Gary and God damn is it great. Definitely recommend and I will definitely be going back

Fantastic experience: Nivek is the best, he made my first tattoo experience enjoyable. I love my tattoo, and I received many many complements from my friends. Also their prices are reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Nivek is without a doubt the best in KW. He cares. He wants you to walk away impressed and satisfied. I got a sleeve done and I’m forever grateful and satisfied. I’ll be going back 100%.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Booking was straightforward and Nivek took the time and care to understand and confer with me about my desires for the design, both beforehand and during the process. Quality work with incredibly reasonable pricing, excellent attention to best sanitation practices, diligent discussion of aftercare recommendations, and a great atmosphere. Fun times and great ink - what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Nothing but great things too say, I'm always taken care of,love the gang down at Kitchener Tattoo,till the next one.......

Fantastic experience: It's been a long time since I got ink done, as my studio of choice retired. I chose Nivek based on the many recommendations from people in the region. But most importantly the quality of the work I've seen in photo, and on friends. Location is right on king, and unfortunately has all that road work out front, so be patient. Pricing was fair, and while I'm still healing, I am very happy with the actual work. I've found my new studio, and I'm looking forward to the next tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love these guys. I've had two tattoos and they are amazing. Professional and clean.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for 15 years, have always had great experiences. The whole crew is great, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Ren was amazing! Made me feel comfortable, and the tattoos she did turned out even better then the reference photos I shared w her. Great place and great service, qod definitely come again!

Fantastic experience: Awesome work, clean shop and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Got my first Tattoo a few days ago done by Nivek. Couldn't be happier with the turn out, exactly what I wanted! He is professional, nice and really cares about the tattoos he puts on people. Can't wait to get another I will be back.

Fantastic experience: New favourite tattoo place. Nivek is a true professional with almost 2 decades in the business, and it shows in his work. Went to get my knuckles tattooed and had a great time. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly place to get inked

Fantastic experience: I booked my first tattoo here not knowing what to expect. Nivek was friendly and did a brilliant job bringing my ideas to life. I'm extremely satisfied with my tattoo and highly recommend his service.

Negative experience: Came here to get my first tattoo ever. I went through with Gary because his Instagram pictures of his work were impressive. Although he did a good job on the tattoo he was rude and unprofessional and didn’t have patience for my questions which lead the whole process to be uncomfortable .

Fantastic experience: Ren was really great and did exactly what I was hoping for! I would definitely recommend getting a tattoo here

Fantastic experience: Super professional, super nice artists. Nivek did my tattoo today he was fast and efficient and turned my tattoo into a beautif piece will definately be going back for more eventually. Thanks guys.next time i come ill bring coffee and tea again.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience here for my first tattoo. Got a larger piece on the back of my leg and I couldn't be happier with it!! My artist was Ren and she did a fantastic job taking an idea and making it her own design. Thanks again, I will likely be back in the future! :)

Positive experience: Great customer service

Fantastic experience: I can't remember my tattoo artist name but she is a amazing woman and very Polite and very good at her job and she is very clean at her work station she did a amazing job on mine and my dad's tattoo and I would recommend her to anyone I got my first tattoo in Mississauga and when I moved out her in Kitchener I was looking for a new tattoo place and I think I have found my tattoo place for my Feature tattoos

Fantastic experience: I just brought my 9 year old daughter in for a piercing today. She wanted earrings from when she was 6 years old, after lots of research glad I went with this place. They responded to my emails and answered all my questions, and were able to squeeze us in at short notice. Everything they did was sanitary and by the rules. Really friendly and made us feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: Recently got a wonderful tattoo of my bird Mercury, very clean and an enjoyable experience

Fantastic experience: My go-to place for tattoos! Have been a client at Kitchener Tattoo since 2009 and have had many pieces done by Nivek and always recommend him to those who ask! First piece by Ren was started today and looking forward to the finished product!!

Fantastic experience: Nivek was awesome. Great location for your next tat!

Fantastic experience: Jon was awesome and I could not be happier with my piercing! I also want to thank Ren for my amazing ink!!! I have a horrible needle phobia and it took me a LONG time to figure out what I wanted and she (and Nivek) were incredibly helpful and patient with me. It took two trips (apparently it's super important to eat something before getting a tattoo, who knew?!) :) but we did it and I could not be more ecstatic with the job Ren did. I love them all and would highly recommend Kitchener Tattoo to anyone who is looking for a place to get a tattoo or piercing!

Fantastic experience: Nivik know his stuff great work once again

Fantastic experience: They are very seriously following the new protocol re COVID which I really appreciated. Set up appointment and discussed our plans via email which was always efficient, friendly and professional. My sister and I just went for small symbolic pieces but I'm super-happy and will be going back for more (larger pieces next time). My artist was Ren and she was just like in her emails...friendly and professional...and talented too. I would 100% recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done by Gary awesome work.Friendly guy made me feel like we had been friends for years talked me though the whole thing as I was a little nervous for my first one. Price was good.Replied to my text very quickly.

Fantastic experience: Gary did my first tattoo and will definitely do my next. Talented artist and a great guy, wicked playlist, wanted to play air guitar at one point but it’s not recommended lol.

Fantastic experience: Nivek and Ren are amazing. My tattoos always turn out exactly as I hope they would. They are also super friendly, and easy going. I will be returning many times.

Fantastic experience: Great place. Me and my girlfriend have both gotten work done by nivek and he does an awesome job. Will definitely be going back for more work

Fantastic experience: This is by far my favourite place to be tattooed. Nivek and Ren made me feel so happy from start to finish. Nivek has a wealth of knowledge about tattoos and makes planning out larger pieces so easy. Beautiful art tattooed to last. Thanks again Nivek and Ren can't wait to be back

Fantastic experience: I love this place the people are super nice and my tattoos are gorgeous I highly recommend!! And the prices are really fair for all the details put in!

Fantastic experience: Nivek is wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Nivek and Ren are professional and care about cleanliness and the customer leaving happy. I sent Nivek and idea that I had and he ran with it making it his own. I love my sloth (for my hubby) and my poppy (for my grandma) and had a lot of fun during the Tattoo time which made it less tense therefore less painful. Thank you Sir and Madam for a great experience. I won’t hesitate to recommend you guys. I’ve also had a great experience with John piercing my daughters ears, and my own. Thanks everyone at Kitchener Tattoo!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a lot of work done here (ten pieces so far), and I intend to keep coming back. It’s a high quality shop with a serious commitment to hygiene and cleanliness. Make your appointment in person if you can - the artist will take the time to talk about your art and make your tattoo uniquely yours (unless they’re super busy).

Fantastic experience: Just got my third piece done here. Each one better than the previous! Nivek is great at listening, guiding, suggesting, designing and making sure your input and ideas are reflected in the piece alongside his amazing skills as an artist. He loves what he does and it shows. Looking forward to the next piece!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend stopping by for all your tattoo needs, Nivek is who your looking for. 5/5 . Edit : Another great experience at the shop don’t hesitate to stop by!

Fantastic experience: Been seeing Gary for over 5 years now. When he moved to this location myself and others followed along. He does amazing work and makes you feel welcomed. Would highly recommend coming here, I would not go anywhere else. The staff themselves here are awesome! Friendly, sense of humour and the pricings are completely reasonable.
