Bad Habit Tattoo Co.

Expérience fantastique: Akshan was super clear, social and it was a great experience. Would do him again!

Expérience fantastique: KC was super nice and reassuring I really enjoyed my experience here and her apprentice was super sweet as-well! I’ll definitely be coming here in the future

Expérience fantastique: KC was amazing with our daughter . She reassured her before and walked her through the entire appointment and was professional the entire time.

Expérience fantastique: KC was amazing with my daughter… she made the experience pleasant, spoke directly to my daughter and gave her time to be ready for the second ear. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Amol is the artist I went too. So incredibly talented, so happy with my visit to this new artist.

Expérience fantastique: Me and my friend got tattoos from Riot and literally had the best time. Everyone we met was super friendly, lots of snacks+drinks to keep you fuelled for your appointment, and the tattoos came out amazing. Will definitely be returning soon!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome piercer!!! Friendly, kind, helpful and gentle!!! Definatly going back to see her for another piercing next month!!! Thank you KC!!!!!!!

Expérience fantastique: The pricing was great and the service was too will definitely be returning here again.

Expérience fantastique: Scott does amazing work. I would definitely return if I get another tattoo.

Expérience fantastique: Definitely would recommend this place if your looking to get a tattoo Ken is the best my memorial for my son turned out so beautiful!

Expérience négative: I found this shop through Instagram. Their artists are incredibly talented and the work is quite well executed. However, some of the recent art posted by the artist Inkcredible Nerd has me deeply offput. I ran 2 of their most recent designs through multiple versions of AI detecting software and both came back as having been generated via AI. I know I would be furious if I discovered I had paid money for someone to put AI generated slop on my body. I feel other people should be made aware of this so they can make an informed decision about permanent modifications. Generative AI has no place in creative spaces, tattooing especially. If an artist cannot draw their own designs, how can one trust them to replicate it on skin?

Expérience fantastique: This is the ONLY place we come for our piercings. We drive in from Leduc! My daughter and I go every year on her birthday for a new one and 10/10 every time. Very clean, beautiful and welcoming. The front staff are so sweet! Today KC did our piercings and she was phenomenal (and her room is A DREAM).

Expérience fantastique: Amazing job! Went to get our nine year old’s ears pierced and KC was lovely. Spoke directly to my daughter to make sure she understood what was happening and what was expected of her during the appointment and for aftercare. Made sure she was okay between piercing each ear. Could not recommend enough for parents whose kids want their ears pierced, will absolutely be back when our oldest wants a second hole.

Expérience fantastique: AMAZING experience as always. I came running in 6min late and Scott was ready and waiting with his flash and supplies! The kindness and organization of this shop is absolutely one of my favorite features (other than the staff ofc)! Walked in undecided between the flash picks, then walked out with 2 new pieces of art and a grin. Also immediately after I left to go get a meal at moxies and the server was saying how most of the staff have come in to see the shop and received pieces. So many praises! Thanks a mill and youll see me again

Expérience fantastique: KC is the most amazing body piercer. Incredibly talented, clean, confident, and personable. She has done seven piercings for me and all were perfect. Cannot thank her enough or recommend her enough. She truly loves this industry and cares about her clients and every piercing she does. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I came in to get my first ever piercings, three in my right ear, with my wife. KC was fantastic, explained everything and double checked to make sure I fully knew what was going on, warned me about changing my placements, and when the second piercing failed she was super professional and quick to fix it. On top of that the artists here seem really talanted so I'll probably return for more piercings and tattoos.

Expérience fantastique: Scotty was an amazing Tattoo artist and the staff was great. My tattoo ended being 100 times better than I could of imagined.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing so happy woth the out come Ashlee did amazing job so proud to have tattooed done by her will be back for more !

Scott is an amazing manager and artist and I'd recommend him to any first timer looking to get inked!

Expérience fantastique: Son and I went in for memorial tattoos with Scott. The whole experience was excellent, right from the initial consultation to the finished tattoo. Staff was great to deal with, nothing but good things to say about Scott and Bad Habit. Will definitely be back.

Expérience fantastique: KC is the best piercer!! Quick, clean, easy and (fairly) painless lol! Answers all my question professionally and gave reasonable home care instructions! Got pierced by KC twice and will be back for more!

Expérience fantastique: I had an amazing experience with KC. From the moment you walk in, the place has a beautiful atmosphere—super clean, welcoming, and very professional. I went to have my belly button piercing reopened after it had been closed for a while, and KC did it in less than a minute, completely painless. She made me feel comfortable and safe the entire time. Truly an incredible experience. So grateful and highly recommend her!

Expérience fantastique: Got a matchy matchy tattoo with ma and ended up with an absolute peice of art. Thanks a mill Scotty for putting these together so quickly along with mums extra surprise! The glitter connecting the two together was such a good idea executed beautifuly. You'll absolutely be seeing us again!

Expérience fantastique: KC did my nipple piercings, great experience, very clean and informative, overall great service!

Expérience fantastique: I have had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Darwin! Everything felt professional, welcoming, and relaxed. Darwin really listened to what I wanted and brought the idea to life even better than I imagined. The studio was clean, the process was explained clearly, and I felt comfortable the entire time. The detail and quality of the tattoo are incredible— Darwin is definitely the best realism tattoo artist in the city. My tattoo isn't finished yet, but Im super excited to have it completed soon.

Expérience fantastique: Honestly best service ever and I got my dermals done by KC 10/10 recommend her and she’s a vibee she was very professional and overall amazing!! Thank you so much

Expérience fantastique: A couple of days ago, I went to Bad Habit to get my sister’s ears pierced. Michelle did an absolutely phenomenal job, not only with the piercing itself, but also by helping my sister choose earrings and patiently answering our billion questions. She even took the time to help me with my own piercing! Michelle was incredibly kind, fun, and helpful. Thank you so much, I 100% recommend this place.

Expérience fantastique: Amol was awesome, willing to chat and make sure the tattoo was perfectly sized, had no problem doing any changes, and was awesome to talk to. Would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone wanting a tattoo!

Expérience fantastique: This was my third time coming to this studio, definitely will keep coming back. I got my eyebrow piercing done by KC, she was amazing and brought the same energy I got from my last piercing appointment. She gave great feedback for maintaining the piercing, created a welcoming environment, and overall great customer service!

Expérience fantastique: Great staff, lovely facility. Took kids to get piercings and it was worth every penny to have people who know what they are doing and have a warm and inviting studio filled with cool art and good vibes.

Expérience fantastique: this was my first visit, I went for an eyebrow piercing. the piercer (KC) was awesome. very straightforward and was honest with me about the risks of this specific piercing and made sure to answer all my questions. takes sterilization seriously during prep and gave me extremely easy after-care instructions. also told me I could call with any questions during the healing process which is great because i’m not local. 100% would recommend and I will be visiting for my next one!

Expérience fantastique: From the phone calls to the appointment, their service was exceptional. Michelle was very outgoing and informative. Definitely recommend.

Expérience fantastique: me and my friend came here for piercings last week without an appointment, i got my second nostril piercing and michelle was awesome !

Expérience positive: The online form was difficult but the staff and the piercer, Michelle, were lovely. The space is really nice, as each artist has an individual workplace with walls and a door. Thanks Michelle!!!

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely loved my experience! Everyone was so welcoming, Riot was amazing with her skills!

Expérience fantastique: My nose piercing came out in the middle of the night. I couldn't reinsert the piercing so I put the back piece into the front hole and taped it. I went to Bad Habits with no appointment and purchased a new piercing. KC was quick and efficient and changed out my piercing. Definitely will return!

Expérience fantastique: I took my 10-year old daughter for her second lobe piercings today and KC did such a fantastic job! She spoke directly to my daughter, obtained her direct consent, and explained the procedure very clearly! She was able to connect with my daughter on her level and overall it was such a positive experience! I’d recommend Bad Habit and KC 100%!

Expérience fantastique: Scott did tattoos for my sister and I. She gave him an idea and he added little mickeys in the tattoo which I love. He was very informative about the positioning of the tattoo. We had a great time with him because he was super friendly and chatted with us the whole time. Definitely recommend going to this tattoo shop. The Entrance had drinks and places to sit and wait. Also had some merch for sale

Expérience fantastique: Went here for my first tattoo it was amazing Scott was a wonderful artist I will definitely be going back again

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely amazing experience, my tattoos are perfect and are a true representation of what I wanted. Very very happy and looking forward to booking in again!

Expérience fantastique: Got my nose pierced here with Michelle and it was such a fun and quick experience! They were incredibly accommodating and hyped me up before I got my piercing. I honestly had such a positive time, I'd definitely consider getting another piercing here. It was a great experience from start to finish! Highly recommend checking them out.

Expérience fantastique: Got a piercing from KC and I can't recomend her enough, knowledgeable, patient, and kind! I won't go to anyone else

Expérience fantastique: Amazing! Just perfect! KC did a great job on all my piercings and everyone there was friendly :)

Expérience fantastique: KC was great! I got some piercings done a weekish ago, Will definitely be going back. She was super honest when I explained that I had the piercing done before & instead of re-piercing, she reopened the hole. It was more cost effective & an easier healing process. Her honesty saved me from having to redo the whole healing process as well as saved me money! Thank you KC:)))

Expérience fantastique: My appointment had to be rescheduled once but the staff was helpful and friendly. My piercer was professional, explained everything and answered all my questions. She was available when I had questions after the appointment. The shop was clean and looked nice.

Expérience fantastique: KC was super thorough and a perfectionist. I felt comfortable and at ease with getting my piercing with her.

Expérience fantastique: Got both my nose piercings here on a walk-in each time. Always an amazing experience.

Expérience fantastique: KC is absolutely the best! She is funny, professional, and knows her stuff . I wouldn’t have any piercings done other than with her! Thank you for being so awesome KC

Expérience fantastique: Got two piercings and a jewelry change from KC today. She was helpful, honest, and awesome to deal with. This is a great place!

Expérience fantastique: Outstanding customer service, KC was very friendly and fast. Painless nose piercing experience. Strongly recommend

Expérience fantastique: Went to get my helix done for the first time and had the best experience ever. JC was super welcoming and very helpful when deciding what size to go with for the earring. Definitely recommend and plan to go back to her for my next piercings!!

Expérience fantastique: Had such a great experience getting my ears pierced with KC! She made me feel super comfortable and confident in my decision. I’ll definitely be coming back to her!

Expérience fantastique: Love this place, staff are friendly, considerate and honest. There are free snacks and drinks while waiting for the proper sterilization of jewelry and instruments. Staff encourage call backs or visits for questions and concerns and provide business cards with contact information. Clear and proper aftercare are given after and before each piercing. The staff use their professional experience to give a honest opinion on which piercing placement will heal best. Piercing placement is first marked with a marker and customers are always given an opportunity to approve after checking in the mirror. I have never had a negative experience here after 9 piercings over the last 2 and a half years.

Expérience fantastique: Brought my daughter in today to get her ears pierced. She was very nervous and anxious as this was her first piercing experience. We had KC as her piercer and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. KC was incredibly warm and patient. Made my daughter feel immediately at ease and safe! Front staff were both welcoming and polite. What a wonderful experience overall. I would absolutely recommend KC and Bad Habit!

Expérience fantastique: I recently came to Bad Habit as I lost the top to my Medusa jewelry. The staff were able to accommodate me as a last minute walk in to look at jewelry and change it. Very clean space and the staff were very friendly! Will definitely be coming back!

Expérience fantastique: I got my ear piercings done from KC. She was detail oriented, good listener and made sure I was happy with what I got. The shop has clean environment which is always appreciated.

Expérience fantastique: staff was friendly, piercing was fast and easy, and loved the space! overall great experience

Expérience fantastique: This tattoo studio is excellent. Awesome tattoo artists and staff. I get great results every time I go there. 5 star and highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I got a tattoo done by Akshan. He was amazing! He’s very talented and did exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Akshan for your next tattoo

Expérience fantastique: The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. The lady who welcomed me and checked me in was so friendly. KC was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable and just awesome. She pierced my nose so quick and almost painlessly! The shop was clean and inviting. Would highly recommend KC for a piercing!!

Expérience fantastique: 5 years ago I took my young daughters in to have their ears pierced and had the best experience with Josh. Today we went back and for their second ear piercing, again with Josh. He was patient, kind and informative. 10/10

Expérience fantastique: Josh is phenomenal! He’s a pro when it comes to piercings. Everyone is so friendly and personable. Couldn’t be happier with my experience!

Expérience fantastique: It was my second session for my sleeve today. I have been looking for an artist for 15 years to do it and I can’t be happier. Darwin’s work is amazing! I get compliments all the time and the can’t wait to see the completed work. I highly recommend Darwin at Bad Habit! This shop is by far the best I have visited!

Expérience fantastique: I had my nose pierced with Josh. I felt very comfortable.. Everything was very clean and organized,it didn’t take long at all. Overall great experience.. I highly recommend

Expérience fantastique: A friend and I went in for a walk-in piercing and only had to wait 20 minutes. Highly recommend this shop. The atmosphere and all staff were wonderful and helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Came in as a walk in. The staff got me in right away. Amol designed exactly what I wanted, even better than I was thinking lol. 1.5 hours later my tattoo was done. Excellent job Amol on the tattoo and thanks to all the staff for everything. My final tribute to my dog Bear so I'll never forget him. Thanku again for everything Highly recommend Amol and everyone else there!!!

Expérience fantastique: Had a spontaneous day and walked in to see if they had availability for nipple piercings. The staff were all extremely inviting and kind, the establishment was clean and a total vibe! I had my appointment with Josh and he made the experience extremely comfortable and was very kind. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for piercings. They also do tattoos so I will be coming back to get some ink!

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommended KC! They were great to work with, did a walk in and was in and out in less than 30 minutes, plus they made the experience fun and enjoyable :)!

Expérience fantastique: We had Josh do a nose piercing and he was so awesome! The piercing was really well done and the placement was great. He’s very thorough and thoughtful with what he does.

Expérience fantastique: Josh was great! Explained everything from jewelry to placement of piercings. Aftercare and just a good experience overall.

Expérience fantastique: I saw BHT did walk-ins and tried it out. Got a great tatoo artist who did a spectacular job. Highly recommended to anyone looking to get ink done. Ask for Scotty!

Expérience fantastique: AMAZING Daisey at the front desk and Josh are the nicest people, Josh makes you feel so comfortable before getting the piercing and lets you take you time getting up and brings snacks and water if you feel off

Expérience fantastique: Happened by this shop today walking with the family. Very welcoming right away with positive vibes and atmosphere. Kids were treated to some stick on tattoos and snacks. Wife and I both got some fresh ink. We would 100% come back again.

Expérience fantastique: I went in for a belly button peircing, kind of unsure about what I wanted to have done with the concern of swelling, Kacey was who I was introduced to, her charismatic personality helped me choose a peircing that would be less problematic for swelling (half floating naval type of thing) She was unbelievably supportive and made me giggle throughout the process making it a million times better. Thank you bad habit for having such an amazing piercer!

Expérience négative: *** UPDATE *** This review was never addressed by the shop and rather than treating me with respect or trying to find a solution they said I'm not welcome to be there, extremely unprofessional and toxic business ethics fuled by pride. From bigotry to bullying and harassment, and treating their best employees who are kind and respectful like trash, it feels like gang mentality rather than culture and community. Communicating to the staff, owner, online support or any representative is often met with ignoring the issue, dismissing the problem, and blocking you if they so feel. I will never be supporting this shop in any capacity and Ill be looking else where for true professionalism and kindness. (original review) I've been a frequent visitor here for tattoos and Ive always had a great experience with the artists, but the piercers are another story. I excitingly talked to a piercer (KC slaytor) about some difficult piercings I wanted to get and they reciprocated that energy assuring me they wanted to be engaged with the entire process, downsizing and healing. Not long after the initial piercing during my future vists to the shop her attitude felt increasingly abrasive, rude, insentivie, and condescending. During one appointment I was waiting on the table to have my bars downsized and they were getting "flirty" with their mentor which wasn't a particularly comfortable experience. Her attitude ultimately made it feel like she no longer had any interest in my experience or the healing of my piercings, when she would ask about my piercings it felt empty like it was a chore they didn't want to do, or as if I was so tedious. It really felt like she was being intentionally rude at this point. Someone I know had a bad experience with getting a piercing from her too and you'll find in the reviews that a lot of people have had negative experiences with KC, the most recent review involving her being the reason I'm writing this one now. Don't get a piercing here from either of the piercers, they both put out rude, inconsistent, and disingenuous energy.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome clean shop with super nice humans ! KC was amazing and did an amazing job for my kiddo. Explained everything to a T, was quick swift and great price. So appreciative of the kindness and honesty. Eye brow piercings look perfect.

Expérience négative: Kacie did a piercing for me and was not honest about the fact she did a poor job of placing/angling the peircing. Things felt rushed, and I'm certain she knew it wasn't quite right but wasn't up front about it. I'm pretty easy going and understanding about mistakes, but don't charge me after knowing one was made. I took it out after a few days to get repiereced by someone else after healing. The shop looks nice, but the vibe with the staff is off.

Expérience fantastique: Got a helix piercing and JOSH did an AMAZING JOB! I love how he was very chatty as it made me feel less nervous. Very clean environment and friendly staff. Definitely would go back again!

Expérience fantastique: if you're getting a nose piercing, ASK FOR JOSH!! SO kind and made my friends and i feel a lot less terrified haha. super clean studio and awesome staff. definitely going back!!

Expérience négative: Only went back because of Josh. KC Slaytor needs to fix her attitude and condescending tone. Made my teenage sister’s experience super uncomfortable and just terrible. When we entered the store, she already acted bothered that we were there, as if we aren’t the ones giving you business? If I was there with her in the room I wonder if things would be different or if she would just speak to us like we’re some monkeys that don’t understand english. I wonder if talking to little girls condescendingly as a grown woman makes her feel better about herself? Anyway, super bummed out and disheartened after the interaction, don’t recommend her business at all, gave my sister a big nose ring that she ended up not liking, Slaytor claimed a smaller one would ‘tear her nose.’ Went to a different piercer later and they changed it to a different ring that was smaller. Was quick and easy, and was actually nice to us. EDIT: there are multiple reviews about how uncomfortable customers have felt and how coldly KC treats them. I think that’s the main point of this post as well. The jewelry change wasn’t an issue. The interaction and service was ✌️also she NEVER said it was final sale to her until AFTER we called back and she WAS put under pressure because of KC’s ATTITUDE AND IMPATIENT APPROACH. I honestly don’t know how you can believe one voice over the voice of many others who are expressing the same problems.

Expérience fantastique: Josh was great! Answered any questions I had and made the piercing process very easy. Will for sure be back!

Expérience fantastique: This is my third time going to Josh, and I’ll keep coming back! He did my navel piercing perfectly. Super clean, precise, and made sure everything was just right. He’s always professional, makes you feel comfortable, and you can tell he really cares about his work. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: KC is hands down the best piercer I have had! From her discussing the procedure, what to expect, and the aftercare. Absolutely top notch! Will be coming back for more in the future

Expérience fantastique: Great staff and atmosphere. Got my second tattoo from this place and can’t say any negative things. Recommend anyone to check out Bad Habit

Expérience fantastique: Josh was amazing!! He really helped ease my 15 year old daughter’s nerves before she got her navel pierced. She really appreciated that he talked directly to her and not just to me. Josh was very professional and spoke honestly about the fact that her anatomy might not be ideal for the piercing, explaining the potential risks to her. I appreciated the fact that he cared more about the outcome than the potential sale. She did end up getting it done and is ecstatic about it - it looks beautiful!! Josh was thorough in explaining the aftercare to her too. 10/10 would recommend!! We are from BC, but we’ll be back for sure

Expérience fantastique: Amazing experience with Josh and my daughter getting an ear piercing. He was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

Expérience fantastique: I got my naval pierced and had a great experience! The environment of the shop was super cool, but what really stood out to me was the personalized individual workspaces of each artist. My piercer had a super cute room with a pink theme. She also made me feel very safe and comfortable during my piercing process. Prices were very reasonable and overall a solid place to go for piercings!! My piercing was also pierced well and quickly!!

Expérience fantastique: Josh was incredible. I was a last-minute walk in as I was pierced previously at a different shop and my jewellery had fallen out while I was shopping. He squeezed me in between appointments and gave me the most incredible experience calming me down while fixing my jewellery sizing! He gave me advice about how to treat the piercing to avoid any more accidents. Would 100% see him again 5/5

Expérience fantastique: Lovely and clean shop. I was tattooed by Scott, he was a lot of fun to hang out with while I was being tortured with needles. Great experience, will likely come back for more ink and maybe a piercing or two!

Expérience fantastique: I visited there for my nose piercing infection. My experience at first hand was very satisfying. I felt relaxed after consulting the piercer. She checked my piercing and shared the healing tips. Consultation was free of cost. I strongly recommend this place. Good ambience, nice staff and good vibes :)
