Nostalgia Tattoo: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Awsome shop, the guys are super chill , got a couple tats done by Marc chose the design and left it up to him to add his artistic touch and he came up with more than I expected , exited to go back and get lots more done , recommend to everyone for real
Thanks Nick, appreciate the kind words, can't wait for the next one!
Fantastic experience: 5+ had a great experience getting my last few tattoos done here! The shop is super cool, and the artists are great at listening to what you want and giving great feedback to make your ideas better and come to life. I have gone so far to two different tattoo artists there and both are amazing ! Love my new pieces and will be going back. Thanks so much for your time, and the great work:)
Thanks Justine, always great to see you!
Fantastic experience: Marc is one of the best tattoo artist in Guelph. If you want great art. Mark is the man to talk to.
Thanks Shawn, appreciate the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Recently got a tattoo that required me being topless, the guys at the shop were super respectful. I felt completely comfortable even being the only woman present in the shop. Wouldn’t have gone anywhere else for this tattoo. Always a blast
Thanks for the review Mackie, much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: got my first tattoo done by G a few days ago, and had an awesome time, he pays great attention to detail and you can tell he takes pride in his work and is incredibly talented, the whole shop is so cool and the best vibes i could’ve asked for, everyone is very kind and welcoming and it felt super comfortable, extremely happy with the work and couldn’t have asked for a better experience will certainly be returning for more in the future! would recommend to anyone whether it’s your first or 100th tattoo
Thanks for the awesome review dj, glad you had a good time! I'll be sure to pass on the message to G :D
Fantastic experience: I don't know why i took so long to write a review. I have 8 tattoos from Marc. I love them all. I get compliments often on them. I've been going to Nostalgia and Marc for 2 or 3 years. All three guys there are super dudes and I always get a great tattoo and have a fun time there. Edit: I have added a few photos of Marc's work so you can see. The guitar is 2.5 years old and the monkey and goose are 2 years old, for reference. The newest (about 5 weeks) is the Raphael tattoo.
Thanks Brent! Appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Thanking Marc for two really sick tattoos to date. Only good things to say about the entire crew (G and Ryan) and their craftsmanship as well. It's just a really great shop people!

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I am insanely happy with choosing Nostalgia Tattoo. I brought in an Idea and walked out with an amazing piece of Traditional tattooing to honor my Father. Marc was the artist that had done my work and I am so grateful to him for it. He is professional, personable and you can tell he really cares about his work. I have a few more pieces I would like to him to do. His colleague G, is also really decent guy and his work is tight. I have few pieces in mind that would fit his style and will definitely book with him as well. Needless to say I will be back sooner than later. Thanks for your hospitality gents.
Thanks for the kind words Sean, much appreciated!! See you soon duder!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, G was great, will definitely go back!!

Thanks Dave, appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Best traditional tats in town. Amazing art and awesome dudes :)
Thanks jess!
Negative experience: Horrible experience the owner doesn't take any responsibility and needs to work on his business management, Turned me away at the door and tried to keep my money, all in all immature and unreasonable.
Thank you for sharing your experience at Nostalgia Tattoo. We are sorry to hear that you were not fully satisfied with the service you received. As our booking page clearly states, we have a policy that all customers must be 18 years or older to receive a tattoo.
We appreciate that you tried to find a solution by offering to take your daughter's place to avoid losing your deposit. We also appreciate that you allowed Gerardo to draw the tattoo for you, even though your daughter was very upset after realizing that she was not eligible to receive a tattoo at our studio.
We're not sure what was talked about in that car when you dropped your daughter off back at home, but you came back no longer wanting to get tattooed, and no longer able to continue the conversation in a respectful and civil manner.
We hope you understand that Gerardo had already invested time and effort into drawing two separate tattoos, one for you and one for your daughter. The deposit is to compensate for the time and resources used to create the designs and the half a day your daughter had booked in.
We are sorry that you felt frustrated by the situation, and we hope you can understand that we were not trying to be difficult. Our policy exists to protect both the customer and the artist, and we must enforce it to maintain a safe and professional environment.
We appreciate your feedback and hope that we can have the opportunity to provide a positive experience for you in the future.
Thank you again for your review.
Best regards,
Nostalgia Tattoo

Fantastic experience: Didn't go for a tat but a bike. Guys were easy-going and friendly! Very cool wall art and decor.
Aww wicked, thanks Mike! Nice meeting you yesterday, all the best duder!
Fantastic experience: Both my wife and I got tattoos at Nostalgia Tattoo. From beginning to end it was a great experience. In our search for a place to go, Marc responded to our inquiry immediately and continued to do so throughout our questions and eventual booking. He was incredibly nice and helpful. ‘G’ did our tattoos. We had a great time working with him. He is not only talented, but patient, helpful and just fun to talk to. We couldn’t ask for a better experience. We highly recommend Nostalgia Tattoo.
Thanks for the review guys, much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I told Marc when I was booking my tattoo that I wanted “something nautical”. When I envisioned it, I NEVER thought I’d have such an amazing tattoo!! Love Marc’s work. His work ethics are awesome. Professional, funny, easy to talk to and knows what he’s doing. 15 yrs as a tattoo artist. He’s definitely someone I would go back to!!
thanks james!
Fantastic experience: Went it to get a tattoo with an artist doing a guest spot , everyone was so welcoming and fun, will definitely be back to see G & Marc in the future! Both incredibly talented artists and awesome guys !
Thanks Michelle, appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Marc’s work. He has crafted half my sleeve so far and has done one of two cover ups for me. G is also working on a piece on the opposite arms with Marc. Can’t thank these two enough for making me feel welcome, comfortable and collaborating with what ideas I brought and making it all work. I love my tattoos. I’m a lifer with them for sure.
Thanks duder! <3
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here a month ago at the young age of 59! I could not have asked for a better experience. Marc did an excellent job of explaining the process, what is possible in a tattoo and he was very patient with my questions. The experience of the tattoo was relaxed and entertaining. The aftercare instructions were well explained and I had zero issues. I cannot recommend Nostalgia Tattoo more highly. Thanks Marc!
Thanks for the review Ian, I appreciate the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, friendly and professional tattoo shop. Great work and great people
Thanks Mary!
Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo done at Nostalgia and my only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner! Marc and G are both incredible artists and even better dudes, and make a hilarious afternoon of getting inked go by in a flash. I’m constantly looking down at my artwork with a huge grin on my face and can’t wait to go back for more!
Thanks Alex!
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience. Fun visit, punctual and fair prices. Will definitely be going back!
Thanks Rebecca!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and high quality tattoos.
Thanks Stephen!
Fantastic experience: Marc gave me my first tattoo last fall. He made it so easy, was clean and sanitary as hell, and was good to chat with. Plan on getting more from these guys!
Thanks for the review Jason! Can't wait to see you again, whenever this blasted lockdown ends!
Fantastic experience: Just had my first tattoo done by G Such a great experience! they make it easy to feel comfortable, Really good vibes and my artwork is absolutely remarkable! Thank you so much !

Fantastic experience: Great work , clean shop, nice guys, highly recommended !
Thanks Nathan, appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Out of every shop ive ever been to, Nostalgia is without a doubt the best shop in Guelph. Ive been tattooed by both Marc and Brien, and they have been by far some of the best tattoo experiences ive ever had. Its always a good time and I always look forward to my appointments. You can tell they care and always like to make people feel comfortable with good conversation and laughs. They keep the shop a friendly environment for anyone that might want to get tattooed. Maybe this is just me but I love a shop with music at an acceptable volume. Love this place and will always be my first choice.
Thanks Kelsey!
Fantastic experience: Place is clean people are nice been getting all my tattoos from the same guy as known marc great artist great quality work he also did amazing job on covering old tattoos
Thanks Laurence!
Fantastic experience: Always so happy with Brien's work
Thanks for the review Jessica!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had most of my tattoos (the good ones) done by Marc at Nostalgia. He’s very professional, patient and a damn good artist! I recommend him to anyone looking for traditional work. His line work is next to none and colour choices are on point! I’ll be back until I don’t have any room left on my body.
Aww shucks, thanks Al, appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Out standing work every time I've gone in. All of the artists are friendly, passionate and highly skilled. Great listeners, great conversations and great vibes.
Thanks buddy, hope your living your best life out there Alberta!
Fantastic experience: G is the best tattoo artist. Clean place, good vibe, reasonably priced, amazing tattoos. 10/10.
Thanks for the review Tayler, I'll be sure to let g know!
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here today, G was super great at keeping my stress down and making sure my first went great! The tattoo looks amazing and I can’t wait for it to heal! Definitely recommend Nostalgia, especially G for anyone looking for a decently priced tattoo!
Thanks for the review Ineke, I'll be sure to pass the message on to G!
Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I just walked out of the shop with brand new tattoos. They look completely identical to the reference photo we brought in. We couldn't be more happy with our tattoos. G was our artist and we love how he took the time to make sure he drew it perfectly. This is a lot coming from me as I'm super picky. We didn't even have to tell him to change anything which was super awesome. Thank you so much G! We'll be back soon for more ink!
Awesome, glad you had a wicked experience with G, I’ll be sure to let him know!
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo today from Brien today and it looks great, he was extremely friendly and made my first tattoo experience very pleasant. Highly recommend this place!
Awesome! thanks for taking the time to write this very kind review Kishan, I’ll be sure to let brien know!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Im very happy with my tattoo and the service was great

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience getting my first tattoo. Marc and Brien were both welcoming and friendly. Very professional! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for the review Ben, appreciate it! Nice meeting you man, hopefully we'll see you again in the future - Marc
Fantastic experience: Have gotten my tattoos recovered here & some personalization that I had wanted for years. Also got a memorial tattoo that Mark personalized for me. The 3 guys in this shop are great to work with & really care about making sure you will be happy with the work you want done. My daughter had a tattoo done by Spencer to cover some old scarring & we she is thrilled with how it turned out. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Great guys & great shop.
Awesome, thanks for the continued support and great review Ann!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend
Thanks Alex !
Fantastic experience: I have had three tattoos done here. One by Marc and two by Brien. I was especially impressed with Brien with my most recent tattoos because I was struggling to describe what I wanted but still he managed to do exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for the review Lisa, I’ll be sure to let brien know :)
Fantastic experience: Had an awesome experience being tattooed by Spencer! Even though I was nervous and asking a lot of questions, Spencer was extremely professional and respectful. I've had several tattoos before, but was still quite nervous. Spencer put those feelings at ease and made light conversation throughout the duration of my appointment (very much appreciated)! Their shop is quaint, and very clean! Would highly recommend Nostalgia Tattoo, and Spencer if you are ever in Guelph!
Fantastic experience: Brien is AMAZING!! I got my first tattoo from him and I'm so happy about it. He put a lot of detail into my tattoo and used very thin needles to be precise. In love with my tattoo! Thank you so much Brien!!!
Fantastic experience: Best place to go . Great work .
Fantastic experience: Incredible work I'll never go anywhere else. Brein far exceeded my expectations. Also very clean, professional, friendly and extremely talented. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ! A+++ excellent prices too!!
Fantastic experience: I don't have enough good things to say about this place ! Amazing Staff ! Marc and Spencer are masters of their craft ! Clean, welcoming shop. I can't wait to get more work done here ! If you are looking for an amazing place to get a tattoo.. don't look further then Nostalgia , you won't be sorry you did !
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about this place. This was my experience: I understand it can be intimidating for some to walk into a tattoo shop. Don't feel nervous about coming here. Right after walking in the door, I’m greeted by Marc and Spencer who's humility, and calm energy immediately made me feel at ease. After running a few ideas by Marc and getting his professional opinion, I knew that this was someone I wanted to work with. It was apparent he knew what he was talking about. Mine was especially tricky since my tattoo idea wasn't ideal for a cover-up. Closer to the appointment, Marc started messaging me with ideas and concepts on how to maintain the integrity of my vision while being able to still cover-up the old one. I'm sure he spent hours and hours on the drawing as we were messaging back and forth on a Sunday (his day off). On the days of the tattooing, Marc and Spencer's calm energy and overall 'cool-ness' made it a pleasure to 'hang-out' with them and took away from the pain of the needles. They both clearly have a passion for what they do and are committed to giving a great customer experience. Overall, I LOVE my tattoo and am already getting many compliments. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Well shucks, now I’m blushing! Thanks for the great review denis, stoked to have you as as client and glad you’re enjoying your experience here! thanks for taking the time to write us such a lengthy positive review :)
Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo from Marc and was very pleased with my experience at this shop. Great pricing, really friendly crew, and great work. would highly recommend this shop to anyone, even my mom who also got her first tattoo (after 2 years of me bugging her to get one) loved the shop and was very pleased with everything!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about Nostalgia Tattoo. This was my first 2 tattoos at this shop and I'm super impressed. Very clean place. Alot of attention put into sterilization of the equipment before and after my tattoos. Spencers line work and shading is excellent. My first 2 tattoos with colour and am more then happy. Thanks for everything Spencer. Marc you have a great tattoo artist there! I'll make the drive from Petawawa for my future ink.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a tat
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience getting a tattoo from Spencer, he was a great artist and definitely helped calm me down before my tattoo.
Positive experience: Good clean place that does good work. If I were in the market for another tattoo I'd likely go back here and I am comfortable recomending it.
Fantastic experience: Popped in randomly on a Saturday morning and was very impressed with the prompt and courteous service I received. They do welcome walk in's and I lucked out as Marc had a cancellation. Once he arrived at the shop, Marc immediately went to work. He took his time to draw up my vision, tatted me up and I was out of the shop within 2 hours after that. Will highly recommend and would return. Keep up the great work gentlemen! Cheers -AM
Hey thanks for the great review Arhum, appreaciate it! You were a pleasure to work with, hope to see you again man!
Fantastic experience: Great place...clean, professional and very friendly staff. Have not yet had any work done, but in the planning stage and the art work and designs look amazing. Would highly recommend!
Thanks Dean, hope we see you soon!
Fantastic experience: HUGE shout out to Marc! Not only did he take the time to do some touch ups on another artist's work that I wasn't completely happy with- he really took the time to hear my vision for my new piece & then took it to a whole other level & executed it masterfully!!! Besides his excellent work- I also found him very pleasant & down to earth! The conversation flowed effortlessly while he worked- making the 4 hrs pass quickly. I'll def go to Marc for any future work & can't recommend him highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I've had tattoos done by both Marc and Spencer. They're both great artists and make the entire experience great. I love their work and I plan to go back for more in the future.
Fantastic experience: Experienced, awesome artists! Love all their work and got all my tattoos done with them.Very clean, newly renovated studio. Would recommend to anyone! Also, the only tattoo shop I know that are open Sundays! Again, would recommend to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo.
thanks jerry, much appreciated

Fantastic experience: Fav place to get tattooed!
Fantastic experience: Had a 2 sitting cover up done by Spencer, couldn't be happier. I will continue going to this shop. Large tattoo, no scabbing and quick healing, quite impressed.
Fantastic experience: The MOST friendly and down to earth staff. Spencer has done 3 of my tattoo's now and every time I come to him with an idea he draws up something that was so much better than what I could've ever thought! 10/10 would recommend especially for your first or your tenth tattoo
awesome, glad you're digging our work, thanks paige!
Fantastic experience: Always great guys when i go in! unreal artists who help ya build what your really trying to get done, with input and ideas. always good timing and a clean shop.
