Kiku Tattoo Parlour

Great vibe, Billy is an amazing artist, He is patient, honest and just a great guy. I would would hands down recommend him to anyone who wants a tattoo. The studio is very clean and it is just a lovely studio. I'm already thinking about my next piece. 𓁡 Thanks, Porochista

Travelled from Edmonton to get my first tattoos done by Billy. The shop is personal, and Billy is fast, and precise. The tattoos turned out great. Definitely would recommend!

Billy was so awesome and funny! He gave me my first ever tattoo and I wasn't nervous because of how kind he was! Definitely going back to him for all my other tattoos!!

My review is longer and different from others cause it’s more personal and life changing than a typical tattoo people get. My hair started thinning and slowly receding from the time I turned 20. It wasn’t until I had reached my late 20’s that it started becoming noticeable and I began looking for solutions. I had a consultation with the top hair transplant clinic in Vancouver but didn’t have the best experience when I met with the surgeon there and also the price didn’t really seem fair seeing as to there are no guarantees on how successful it would be and I would have wasted a large sum of money for nothing. So I began to look at other options and one day in early 2017, came across this rising trend of micropigmentation. There was only one place offering that in Vancouver at the time and their results gallery wasn’t exactly impressive, so I gave up on that and put the hair thing on hold. It wasn’t until a year later that I started searching again but this time for tattoo artists and just by chance, a guy named Billy DeCola popped up as not only one of the best results for tattooing but also for SMP, and he had excellent results in his image gallery. I guess it was fate and my luck that he had started a business here shortly after my last search. So I booked a consultation in October 2018 which went well and we made a plan for the kind of hairline he would do based on my facial structure and how many sessions I’d need. The place was clean with a great atmosphere and felt more like chilling in a buddy's living room. I also appreciated the fact that it’s a private studio as I like my privacy. I went for my first session about a week later and I was nervous (which I let Billy know lol) but he quickly put me at ease with how friendly he was and used numbing cream so I hardly felt anything. I didn’t even notice how the hours went by but before I knew it, the session was over. I actually wished it would have lasted longer cause believe it or not, I was having a good time talking to Billy about any and everything haha The recovery was quite simple and all went well, as long as you follow the few basic instructions. It was completely unnoticeable that I had anything even done to my scalp by the 2 week mark. I’m Persian and have olive skin and he did a great job blending everything in so that it looked natural, both with my skin and remaining hair. The following 2 sessions were even shorter and easier to heal from but each one made another significant difference. I went for my 3 month touch-up last month and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I paid 1/10th of what I would have paid for a hair transplant and yet have the natural look of having a shaved full head of hair. Also, unlike a hair transplant where they must sacrifice hair from other areas of your head (not to mention the scars) and lose density in order to have it transplanted to the top, I got to keep all my hair in that area. Plus, as I mentioned before, there are no guarantees how your hair will look after a transplant, or if you will have natural looking hair/hairline or enough density to make a huge difference but with Billy’s SMP, my whole look has been transformed and I look as young as I did a decade ago when I was 20. You see the results instantly, unlike waiting for months or years to see the full results of a transplant. It was really a no brainer for me and one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel lucky that the transplant consultation didn’t work out and I got this done instead. My life is a lot different now. I’m more confident and wear hats cause I want to, not cause I need to. No one has even been able to tell that it's not real shaved follicles. Not only do I feel that I’ve gained a new look and attitude, but also gained new friends. Billy is naturally a people person and easy to talk to, and Rob who works with him is equally awesome. I’d easily recommend them to anyone as they’re the best in Canada and I’m sure one of the best in the world. Looking forward to getting my tattoos done with Billy in the near future too!

Billy is amazing! He did such a great job and was so fun to be around!!
