Future Skin Tattoo and Body Piercing Parlor

I was nervous about coming back to Future Skin after a bad tattoo experience, but I had heard good things from a friend about their piercer, Kip. I'm really glad I went in again, because Kip was amazing. He was kind, patient, and excellent at what he does. I still wouldn't ever go back for another tattoo, but Kip's expertise is worth every penny for a piercing. I will definitely return to him for future piercings!

This experience was defiantly the worst customer service I’ve received in my life. Came to this shop excited to get 2 tattoos and was promised initially that I’d have it done if I came back in 1 hour. I was with my friends from out of town so we went to explore the city in the meantime. We came back 45 minutes later and was asked to come back after another hour. We came back after half an hour and were told to wait while they did tattoos on 2 other people who came after us. At this point we’ve waited a total of 4 hours. When I approached the person at the desk he told us the artist wouldn’t be able to do the tattoo until an hour later and would only do 1 tattoo. So after 5 hours I wouldn’t even get what I wanted. My designs were extremely simple and the second one wouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. The artist was also extremely rude and unapologetic. If he has been honest and told us he wouldn’t do it today I would’ve appreciated it instead of wasting my friends time who came from out of time. Also how is it possible to be off by 5 hours? I’ve gotten tattoos before and this is by far the most unprofessional service I’ve gotten. There was no remorse or compensation for my time wasted. I could tell they did not take us seriously because we were young and the previous two clients were a mother-daughter duo. Do not recommend going here if you want decent service for something you’re paying a large sum for.

I walked in on a Saturday afternoon to inquire about swapping my nose stud to a hoop. I completely understood that I was a walk-in & that I would likely be waiting. The guy at the front desk was very nice & I explained a bit of what I was looking for. He advised that I would need to discuss with the piercer to get her opinion. She was busy with a client & the wait would be around 5 minutes. There was another girl that was already waiting in front of me. The piercer came out about 5 minutes later & grabbed another client & went back in the room (I get it, he was there first). She came back out another 5-10 min later & did approach me to see if I was there for a piercing but I advised that the other girl was there before me. That girl was just checking in about a new piercing she already had I believe which took around 10 min or so. I figured that I would be next but then another couple walked in about a tattoo cover-up. The piercer proceeded to discuss stuff with them for what seemed like 20 minutes or so while I sat there waiting. At this point, I was probably waiting about 45 min. During that time, I was never further acknowledged or even told "sorry, I'll be right with you...". I was literally about to walk out when she was finally available to talk to me. However, while she was talking to me, she stopped to talk to others about clients who were there way AFTER me. I got the impression that she was the owner or manager & that staff were asking her for guidance but as the owner, I would believe that she or another staff member should have at least been somewhat apologetic considering my patience for pretty much an hour. I was a client here for both tattoos & piercings in the past when they were at their previous location with nothing but professional & proper customer service.

I've been getting tattooed from places all over Ottawa but nothing compares to here. The staff is super friendly and inviting. The shop is super clean and they really nailed my tattoo. I definitely recommend.

Great establishment, very clean and modern shop. Andy, my artist did an absolutely fantastic job! Thank you!
