Not Just Tattoos

This storefront does more than tattoos. They also do piercings which is why I went. You get the scenic portion of being downtown and the professionalism of a store that has been in business for years. Trust me, after you know the science or piercing - you wouldn't pierce your child's ears with the cheap air gun option in a tween jewelry store.

I have been to New /tribe on several occasions to build a custom memorial tattoo sleeve on my right arm dedicated to my tiny angel (miracle baby) that was called home to the lord on August 1,2008 at only 33 weeks along in my pregnancy, this was the most fitting way of paying tribute to her, I worked with Paul Samplonius and yes he does charge a fair amount but it is custom work, so many people are awestruck by the bright bold colors he used, I will say I did my research before going there and he does have 14 years experience and since this was a very personal tattoo, I would not let anyone else, amateur to work on me, and he was very supportive and very helpful to give me a tattoo beyond my expectations,

I most certainly recommend him as a professional and very great/talented artist. And plus the staff are vey friendly and the studio is immaculate .

I've been to New Tribe a number of times, both for myself (a couple of piercings and a fair sized tattoo) and to hold the hands of squeemish friends. I'm always so impressed with their standards and level of service that when my mother decided to get a tattoo (a small breast cancer ribbon) I knew that New Tribe was the only option. The artist was fantastic, putting my mum at ease and answering all her questions. I don't know a single person that has not been pleased with the work they have had done there.

I would recommend New Tribe to anyone and everyone.

I, too got my navel pierced here 2 years ago and my piercing has been doing well! Barely any problems with it, and the piercer made me feel very comfortable/ He filled me in on how to take care of it and was also very open on answering questions and encouraged me to come back if there were any problems. I am coming back here next time when I get a tattoo : )

I don't have a tattoo, but I have been to New Tribe for piercings. I know many people who swear by this place for tattoos. This place is expensive, but it is definitely well worth it, for the professionalism of the staff and the hygiene of the entire place. Everything here is really CLEAN. You don't have to worry about dirty needles or equipment because everything comes pre-packaged (new and clean!), and is sterilized and done with latex gloves.

If you live in Toronto and are thinking of getting a tattoo or piercing, I definitely recommend going to New Tribe! The staff are very caring, nice and talented with their designs, and you can't get a tattoo and piercing parlour that could be any more clean and safe. That's what's most important, right?
