What a great experience. We booked in early morning online, super easy process, we were happily inside those doors right at our appointment time. The critters working were SUUUPER lovely, we took their advice with jewellery sizes and were very happy with the outcome. Francis our piercer was INcredible, can’t stress that enough. Super professional and polite, was also mad reassuring which was much appreciated. 10/10 we feel handled with care 💖

Today was the day that I got my first tattoo! Not bad for an old broad! And a big thank you to Ivy Everett! I just wanted something small and personal (yes, a Maple Leaf - full on "Canada" activate mode) and she drew out a whole bunch of designs and options - it was hard to choose which one! The process itself was quick and easy - and virtually painless. Thank you so much Ivy! You're the best!

If you're looking for piercings - this is the place to go! I've gotten several piercings here and had a fantastic experience with staff every time. I first got my lobes re-pierced since they had grown over from years of not wearing earrings. Turns out the holes were still pretty intact so the piercer didn't charge me for poking them open, only for the jewelry! A few months later I returned and received a double helix piercing. Staff was very informative and let me know what would/wouldn't work with the anatomy of my ear and helped me pick out the perfect jewelry. The piercing itself, while painful of course, was a very smooth experience! I returned a few months later to get double nostril piercings. I asked staff if they had spikes available, and they didn't for the standard size of piercing. However they offered me different options so I was still able to get the look/jewelery I was going for. (The piercer was also so supportive when I considered tapping out after the first nostril piercings cause Ouch!) The piercer really took the time with me to find the perfect placement so my piercings would be symmetrical and I've even received compliments on how even they look! There's been two times where I've had one of my piercings fall out (one ear and one nostril) and I lost the screw-on spike :( I was able to go right in and ask them for assistance in getting a new spike and putting the piercing back in. Once again, everyone was incredibly kind and helpful and I was in and out in both instances. I couldn't recommend the piercing service here more!

This is hands down one of, if not the best tattoo removal clinics in the world and my experience with Jenny Ertl wholly reflects that. Craig and the team have a reputation all over the inter-webs for producing the most consistent, fast moving tattoo removal results and they've more than earned it. I had two full color & heavy black forearm sleeves (large Darth Vader, Dragon Ball Z..etc) removed by Jenny over the course of 1.5 years, and I flew all the way from Austin, Texas 6 times to do it. The time spent and travel expense was well worth it, both for the actual tattoo removal progress and the customer experience that came with it. Before taking the plunge and contacting Jenny I was at a point of extreme frustration, I'd already spent 1.5 years doing laser removal in the states with very minimal progress. When I reached out desperate for help Jenny was quick to reply and fit me into her schedule despite being booked solid for months. Jenny would come into the shop hours earlier than her normal schedule to squeeze me in with enough time for me to get back to the airport and fly home. Every time I came in Jenny and the team took such good care of me. They'd do snack and ice runs while I was getting lasered to keep me as comfortable as possible throughout the process. Typically you'd break up this much lasering into multiple sessions because it's a lot of skin and takes a lot of time, but Jenny buckled down and did 2-3 hour long sessions each time so that we could fit everything in without me having to make extra trips. She was cross eyed with a sore back by the end of each session but she kept powering through all on my behalf. Honestly, I'd have paid 5x what they charged me to get the same results, and if anything with the reputation they have the shop could easily charge so much more for their services- but that's not what it's about for them. They genuinely care about helping people and fostering a really special tattoo/piercing community in Kitsilano. I am including some photos to show the vast difference in progress from where my journey started in the states (May, 2022) to where it began and finally ended with Jenny (July, 2023- October, 2024). I did this all with the sole purpose of finishing a traditional Japanese body suit and I am including some photos of that as well so that you can see just how much the tattoos disappeared. They are GONE, never to return. I can't say enough positive things about my laser removal experience with Jenny. She is an incredible, kind, and empathetic human who more than lives up to her reputation as one of the best laser technicians in the world.

I’ve been going to Jenny for tattoo laser removal for five years, and she has been nothing short of incredible. Some of the tattoos I’m getting removed are honestly pretty embarrassing, but Jenny has always made me feel completely comfortable and never judged. She’s fun, open-minded, supportive, and truly knowledgeable about her work. More than anything, she’s helped me reclaim my power and feel at home in my body again. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done — I couldn’t recommend her more.
