“Pauly and his wife were most accommodating and the consultation for my tattoo and he was even more accommodating and getting the whole thing done in one sitting the guy puts his heart and soul into his work and he does his best to make every tattoo a perfect“
“Got my first tattoo at age 73. I am so impressed with the fabulous work that Hannah did. She was very professional and caring throughout my first experience. I've received many, many compliments on my sunflower tattoo. I was very nervous with the aftercare and texted Hannah to go over the instructions again. She responded in a timely manner and all is well. The shop is very clean and I noticed how well another employee was sterilizing his work station. Already thinking of getting my 2nd. tattoo and will definitely call Hannah. Thanks for a great experience.“
“The woman who did my piercing was amazing!!! going to let my family/friends know how comfortable and clean this place this??“
“The only artist worth going to in this studio is Kallen. If you are looking at black and grey realism, I would only recommend Kallen from this studio. I'm starting out a leg sleeve and this is already the first session result. His work is insane for his experience, and he really takes his 100% effort to achieve his realism quality. This is what realism is supposed to look like, not some rushed work that only takes a 1-2 hours. If you're looking at this studio or any other black&grey artist in Hamilton, you're best bet is with Kallen.“
“I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Anthony at Epitaph Tattoo! He recently tattooed a group of nine of us, and every single tattoo came out looking absolutely incredible. Anthony’s attention to detail is phenomenal, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure each of us got exactly what we envisioned. I personally got a cross-stitch tattoo, and the realism is just stunning—it genuinely looks like it was stitched onto my skin! Anthony is not only a talented artist but also super professional and made the whole experience fun and comfortable for everyone. If you’re looking for a skilled tattoo artist who cares deeply about his craft, I highly recommend Anthony.“
“My wife, father in law and I have all used this tattoo parlour. The BEST in the business, I HIGHLY recommend Joe Black, not only is he an amazing artist but he’s also a super amazing person.
I’ve had to cancel for medical reasons and he’s super understanding unlike other shops out there. Please make this tattoo shop your first choice 10/10“
“Amazing shop love it love the feeling of it. She did an amazing job on a tattoo for my mother who just passed. I’m really pleased with it and I’m sure my mom would love it. Thank you.“
“Place is clean and inviting. Staff are friendly and attentive. Marina's attention to detail and ability to understand and create exactly what I was looking for is second to none. Can't wait to finish my piece.“
“Boy am I late to the party, I've been going to Lia at Cool Beans for nearly two years now, she is such a fun person to spend a few painful hours with. I trust her completely, she will tell me if an idea wont work, she not just in it for the money. Being there is a safe space for me. Lia is my therapy. 5 stars for Lia and 5 more for her puppy. see you soon.“
“Greg was great to work with, did an awesome job on my tattoo and was good to talk with while getting it done. I hope you get a rescue dog to bring with you to the shop one day Greg!“
“Highly recommended! Cooper did an excellent job on my arm! He’s a solid dude with decades of experience that he brings to the table. Thanks for the lovely experience!
Cleanliness: This place is clean as a whistle! Very tidy and professional.“
“I went to Dylan for my first ever tattoo and returned again shortly after for my second. He was calm and very friendly. He does great line work and took his time with placement. I am absolutely happy with both of my tattoos.“
“The tattoo I got is my dad’s hand writing from a card he gave me before he passed away, and it looks so good, just like his hand writing. The only lace was very clean and it really seemed like the main guy knew what he was talking about when it came to tattoos and the after care of them. The price was amazing!“
“Dahlia has recently done 2 tattoo's for me. One was redoing an old tattoo. She is so talented. She did an amazing job on both. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much for doing a top notch job.“
“Amazing experience with Sheldon. 10/10
Great atmosphere and staff. Must visit“
“I haven't had a tattoo done this side of the 2010s so I was a bit nervous. I booked with Venus for a relatively simple tattoo but it definitelyneeded some refinement and an artists eye. The whole shop was clean, beautiful and staffed by friendly and professional personnel. At each step I was met with professionalism and exemplary customer care.
I screwed up my appointment time by accident (thanks dyslexia) and they worked to get me in same day which I'm sure inconvenienced them but no one would know it by their demeanor.
Venus worked hard to find the perfect placement and size, in fact the prep took longer than the actual tattoo. She used perfect aseptic technique to setup the area and prep the skin. Then she began to tattoo me...well she said she was tattooing me but I had to ask if she had even started yet. Her tattooing technique uses intermittent positive pressure on the skin to reduce discomfort and irritation. Nearly 2 hours later and I am still looking at it to make sure it's there since I can't feel much.
TL/DR: Clean, professional, fair pricing, amazing vibe, friendly, excellent artwork and accommodating. Am I coming back? Yes. Do I recommend Ace and Sword? 100% yes.
Venus and staff: you're all beautiful and talent folx, thank you for making this middle aged woman's year!“
“First time at south coast and I'm extremely impressed by Lex
Both my husband and I got new tattoos, I absolutely love mine
My husband showed her the idea he was looking for and she designed it herself, and it turned out great, she has great ideas and is very artistic.
She is super professional and easy to talk to about what your looking for
I can't say enough about her
She's even going to fix a tattoo I had done elsewhere
We will be definitely going back again
Thanks Lex“
“Amazing experience! Everyone is so nice and professional! Faith is a great piercer! She made me feel safe and calm while getting my eyebrow piercing. The placement is also great. Would recommend 10/10“
“Went in for Friday the 13th flash tattoo.
I've wanted to do this for over 15 years as I was born on Friday the 13th but I kept putting it off.
This was my first tattoo and Julius made it so easy.
His energy was amazing, it was quick and he made it as painless as possible. Everyone in the shop was friendly and chill. Can't wait to go back!“
“Johnny is the absolute BEST!! He makes the piercing process quick and easy. Highly recommend him for any piercings you are looking to get. Thank you so much Johnny :)“
