I was absolutely thrilled with the tattoo that Jamie did for me but more than that the whole staff made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Jamie was a little late getting in so they made sure that I had a bottle of water and that I was comfortable and everything was fine. Throughout the whole tattoo process Jamie kept double checking with me to make sure I was OK and that it was coming out the way I wanted to. They gave good follow-up instructions on how to what to look for that look after the tattoo and I am beyond thrilled. Read Less

I'm thoroughly disappointed having to leave this review as I had higher expectations. This is not the first tattoo salon I have been to, but I will never be going back here nor making any recommendations. I booked a consultation 1 month in advance and left my deposit, I sat down and told my artist what I was visioning and we came up with some ideas. The artist told me they would have the sketch ready a month from that date when I booked the first session. When I arrived a month later, after sending emails with no reply of my ideas, the artist did not even have my sketch ready for me to see and tried to sketch on the spot. Disappointed, I booked another consultation 2 weeks from that date, only to arrive and still have it not yet drawn up and was told they would free hand the remaining work needed. Needless to say after 3 "consultation" sessions I declined the work that was supposed to be done (half sleeve piece). I decided to get another small tattoo as I wanted to leave with atleast something and at this point had waited almost 2 months. At the start of my session my artist asked if I minded if they got high and smoked one. I didn't mind since I smoke too but now that I think about it, someone completely sober should be tattooing you at all times no matter what. While tattooing my piece the artist still had the gun going while talking to me, and "accidentally" tattooed my arm. I now have for the rest of my life on my arm what looks like a pen mark and will be forced to get it removed or something overtop to cover it. My boyfriend had an appointment with a different artist sometime later at the shop and wanted simple roses. Upon arriving the artist complained and said he would be deciding what went on my boyfriends body since it was his name on the line. I'm sorry but if I have to walk around with something on my body for the rest of my life I'm 100% going to make the final call, "artist" or not. Very very disappointed, wasn't even given the option to have my deposit back. Would never recommend, very unprofessional. Read Less

I have 3 amazing tattoos (1 currently in progress) thanks to Nick and I'm so in love with each of them. The shop and atmosphere is clean, warm and welcoming. The artists have a good rapport with one another and they all do amazing work (seriously, my new goal is to have at least one tattoo from each artist LOL). I highly recommend this place to many friends who inquire about tattoo's. I went from 0 to 3 in less than a year and am very pleased with how I was able to go in with just a vague idea of what i wanted and have nick turn it into an amazing piece of art that winds up much better than I could have imagined.

Alex is an amazing artist!! Love my piece! It turned out way more amazing then I could've ever imagined � such a great place, super chill environment and great people. Thank you so much Alex and Happy Buddha tattoo � Read Less

Im reluctant to explain the experience I had at this place. I recently got Nick to do a very large dragon tattoo that covers my whole back. I came for a consultation and left a 105$ deposit to have him draw up the piece (As per their policy). My follow-up appointment was booked a month in advance because I had a trip. When I came to view my piece, nothing was done. It was half drawn up, even worse when I came back for my second viewing of the piece, it was at the same progress that it was the first time I saw it! The time management was terrible. Nick had forgotten to take the fire off of the dragon that I had asked him via text NOT to include. My appointment time was at 5PM day of, you think anything was done?? We didnt end up getting started on the piece until about 8:30 when the shop was closed. I stayed after hours until 10PM to have the first half finished. VERY unprofessional. I was a little uncomfortable being the only one in the shop after closing. The artist choice of conversation didnt help as he said if you flirt with your female clients youll get a better tip. I had one more session with him after that went about the same. I brought my boyfriend to sit with me and decided to have the tattoo capped off at the outline just to get my deposit back and move on to go somewhere else. My boyfriend and I have spend over 2000$ at Happy Buddha and our experience was the worst ive had coming from a highly rated tattoo shop. We will not be returning Read Less

Well, four tattoos later and I am in awe, especially of my latest one. Nick has worked on all my tattoos and each one better than the last. I love my newest tattoo and am taken aback how great Nick's​ artistry is. I recommend Happy Buddha tattoo parlor to anyone. Even if are nervous, no worries, within the first few minutes you will feel like you have known the team forever. A great bunch of people. Keep on keeping on team. Read Less

I had Nick as my tattoo artist he was great and very easy to talk to funny as well he made us feel very comfortable...me and my daughter got matching tattoos and although it wasn't a big tattoo he did a great job and we definitely will be back for all our tattoo work .. Read Less

I've seen Lud a few times now and he is hands down my favourite artist. His "bedside manner" is amazing, and he takes the time to regularly check in and make sure everything is going fine. He goes above and beyond for his clients and his workmanship is amazing. The shop itself is great too! Super central location and all of the staff are friendly! I'll definitely be back! Read Less

Thank you Luda and Happy Buddha Tattoo! You were all so professional and welcoming, and made my sister and I feel confident in our choice of tattoo shop. We approached you with a unique situation with Jillian's physical disability and you worked around the challenges and made her birthday wish of her tattoo come true! We both love our tattoos. Love the work and will recommend you 100%! Read Less

I love Happy Buddha more than I can bear to admit! Nina has consistently given me some of the best tattoos on my body, and I can't thank her enough for being such a rad person. The shop is super clean, and everyone is really kind and friendly! I've never gotten a tattoo from any of the other artists there, but even just looking at what they've done, you can tell that this is an establishment filled with people who are passionate about their craft. Warms my heart :^) 11/10 will definitely come here for many more tattoos!! Read Less

A great place to get yourself a tattoo! The staff were very welcoming and kind. I was comfortable the whole time and had a great experience even if this was my first big tattoo. My Artist Nina was an angel. She is so talented and understanding. People should definitely check out her work and consider having her tattoo you. Hoping to come back for more in the near future!

Got my first ever tattoo here today. Needless to say, "a little" nervous. But it sure isn't the same as the old "parlor" days. Very professional, clean and inviting place and the staff were awesome. The staff found - and reproduced - exactly what I wanted! May just go back sometime soon with beer in hand! LOL Read Less

Lud is a great artist! We all have had our mistakes when deciding on what is a good idea when it comes to getting a tattoo. Fortunately I found Lud, who not only covered the mistake I  made, but brought a beautiful tattoo to life right before my eyes!!! A thousand thank yous Lud. Fantastic work! Read Less
