The Painted Lady Parlour - Bancroft, Ontario

Got a tattoo with a friend here. We wanted tattoos that represented each other. Anika was our artist and did some beautiful fine-line work! While I was waiting for my friend to get her work done, I decided to try my luck with the get what you get tattoos they had available. They let you pull 2 options (they have the tattoos labeled "masculine" and "feminine" just to give an idea of the vibes of the various designs inside). I got one from each machine, and thought they were great, so I got both done. Lex(y? i?) did those for me. I got them in colour, because why not, and told her I wasn't picky about the colours, so I was trusting her eye as an artist to pick what she thought would look best. Well, let me just say, she did an amazing job too! I've never had colour look quite as vibrant as it did with her, even immediately after a session. She really managed to pack it all in there! I am beyond impressed by this studio. The vibes were immaculate, the work was top tier, and I will be coming back to Lex when I decide to get my pin-up guy done. Thanks Painted Lady for the amazing experience!

My two girlfriends and I got matching tattoos here 2 weeks ago, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Anika and Lexy were incredibly organized, making the whole process smooth, stress-free, and fun. The staff was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable. The tattoos were done quickly, almost painlessly, and turned out beautifully. The prices were totally reasonable for the quality and care we received. We left feeling so grateful, it was such a special experience. Even though I live almost 4 hours away, I will definitely be making the drive back for my next tattoo!

I cannot say enough positive things about this shop, the artists and the owner. I have known Joan since I was a teenager so it only made sense that when I was old enough to get my nose pierced that I chose her to do it. I’m 35 years old and I still have that piercing.

Joan’s artists also gave me my 1st, 2nd & 3rd tattoo and to this day they are my most loved tattoos. One of those tattoos is now a memorial piece as my first tattoo was my dogs name and she has since passed away.

If I still lived in Canada Joan and her artists would be my ONLY choice to do any of my piercings and tattoos.

The whole staff was so friendly and welcoming! They shared their thoughts on what my ideas were and ended up with amazing tattoos! Anika was the best artist for us ~ so professional and friendly! Loved my experience here! Love my Painted Lady tattoo!!

Great experience!!! Took my daughter for a nose piercing very clean and friendly place. The lady made my daughter feel so comfortable and dad lol. If you know pocket size is extremely happy 😊
Dad and step mom are thinking of getting some work done in the future there.

Mixed experience.
I absolutely loved my first tattoo here, which was done by the daughter—she did an amazing job! Unfortunately, my second visit was disappointing. I went in to get a piece on my sleeve finished, but the artist (a man this time) left the inner part of my arm completely unshaded and unfinished. On top of that, I was charged an unreasonably high amount for incomplete work. Really disappointed after such a great first experience.
Last but not least .. the owner (the mother) was making crude comments while this guy did my tattoo. Super uncomfortable second experience.

I wanted tooo get a tattoo in memory of my late daughter ! That died of cancer an went in an started looking at the book for idea's an the owner told me none of her umployers would give me a tattoo an that i had too leave in a sharp tone of voice ! Very judgemenal an would never recomend this place too anyone ! Never thought ones at a tattoo parlor would turn away costomers an make someone feel so unwanted an unwelcome ! Found it very hurtful how i was treated an made me feel depressed !

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had a friend go In to look at tattoo ideas for his daughter who had passed away from cancer just to be turned away and refused a grieving father at that who doesn’t do drugs or anything just because he goes to life house. Let me tell you the life house is for people have mental health problems and if you walked in there high you would be turned away. I will no longer recommend you guys ever again.
