I'm SO FRIKIN HAPPY with my FIRST ever tattoo thanks to the amazing Rebecca!!! I was just meandering around the city poking my head into studios, and this was the third one I went in and the most welcoming and friendly one!! The atmosphere was really nice, I didn't feel intimidated at all, and they were so approachable and easy to talk to!! Rebecca is so kind and pays so much attention to your needs! I felt so safe and taken care of. She offered water, snacks, and talked me through the whole process without rushing or forcing anything. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving you a great experience which is what I got!! I feel like alot of tattoo artists can do a great tattoo but not everyone has the ability to provide such a safe and wonderful experience :) She was also super gentle with the application and the tattoo turned out ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! The only thing I regret is not coming in sooner!!! Can't wait to go back!!

I recently came in with a friend for a helix piercing appointment at 5:00 PM. I first want to say that I genuinely appreciated the willingness to squeeze us in close to closing time. That flexibility was very kind and did not go unnoticed. However, I did want to share some feedback about the experience itself. During the appointment, I felt that the cleaning of the area was very brief. As a nurse, proper skin preparation and sterility are extremely important to me, and the preparation felt shorter than what I would typically consider ideal. This left me feeling a bit uneasy. In addition, I felt somewhat unwelcomed during the appointment. There was minimal communication, and the interaction felt rushed. I understand that it was the end of the day, and I would have completely understood if rebooking had been necessary. However, since we were invited to come in at 5:00 PM, I expected the appointment to feel a bit more thorough and attentive. I do appreciate that aftercare instructions were briefly reviewed, which was helpful. My intention in writing is not to complain, but to provide honest feedback about how the experience felt from a client’s perspective.

I have always had a pleasant experience here. Rebecca helped me with my hand tattoo twice now and is always friendly and gives helpful recommendations to get the vision perfect. She always makes sure you're comfortable and not in too much pain and is very considerate. Thanks Rebecca!! :)

This is my second tattoo at Red Lantern and my first from Max. He was so amazing to work with start to finish. Listened to what I was looking for and surpassed my expectations. He took his time making sure it was perfect. The colours are stunning and so well done. It was comfortable all the way along. I will 100% be back and will 100% recommend him ro anyone looking for a tattoo.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Rebecca yesterday. She did a finger tattoo touch up for me, which are not easy to do! She really took her time and her amount of care was very obvious. She was knowledgable and very transparent with the nature of this kind of tattoo. She also consistently checked in with me, making sure I liked her work. She drastically improved my tattoo with a tedious stick and poke technique. I really appreciated her willingness to do this for me :)
