East coast is a great trip (from Toronto).I've been to a lot of different tattoo shops, met many artists; Mike Ledrew is unique in the fact he is talented and likeable. Β Some 'artists' are lazy, undisciplined, snotty, jerks.. (like many professions; tattoo industry gets a lot of 'trying' personalities). Β I highly recommend Mike and his work. Read Less

If you go here, you may want to have an appointment elsewhere arranged for a cover up. The tats I got here are jacked.

I'd give 0 stars if I could. After about 12 emails back and forth, a consultation, AND a downpayment, I got turned away when I showed up to get my tattoo because I'm not over 18 (which was never mentioned/asked before this point). During those 12 emails they would take days or even up to a week to reply and just seemed truly annoyed when we spoke. Even if it was a misunderstanding/accident on my part, we still met face-to-face and I was never asked my age (I look a lot younger than I am). I'd never recommend. Read Less

I cannot say enough good thing about this shop! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, ally is such a sweetheart, she made me feel so welcome when I came into the shop, and was always so quick to respond to my emails! Dave is just down right amazing, simply put! He did cover ups for both my fiancΓ© and I, and they're just amazing! More then both of us ever thought possible. Also, on top of being an amazing artist, Dave is just such a friendly guy, he made us both feel so welcome and relaxed during the whole process! We will both be going back without a doubt! Read Less

I can't say enough good about this shop! The staff is amazing, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, professional ... all with a tinge of crazy! The talent that is housed in this three story downtown building is incredible! I went in with a concept and came out with a masterpiece, I love it; I beyond love it! I cannot wait to go back for more, to chat more with the amazing staff and hear more of the crazy stories Dave spews out as he creates art out of ink pots. Thank you a million times over!! Read Less

I've heard nothing but good things about this place, and it was all true. I got tattooed at Trouble Bound for the first time a few days ago, by Gabby. First time I almost fell asleep getting tattooed, that's how comfortable she made the experience. I love my first Trouble Bound tattoo, even the placement is perfect! Based on Gabby's ideas, I'm sure my arm piece will also come out looking amazing. Super excited! Read Less

I have been there for several of my tattoos and not only are you treated like family when you walk into the door but the professionalism, the artistry and the precision is something that cannot be beat in the city.
