I've known Andrew Skinner for over 20 years now, and in all that time seldom have I witnessed him not in possession of his sketch pad or nose down on a new piece. This man is a Pablo Picasso of the Tattoo artistry industry. I personally wouldn't allow anyone else to ink me. His attention to detail, sanitation and the pride he takes in his work is second to none. Congratulations Andrew. Read Less

Mates and I went here to get some hand tattoos, got turned away because we didnt have full arm sleeves. Apparently they dont like business. Bad experience and atmosphere.

Went in yesterday for my first big tattoo, had my wedding band done at another shop and will not return there. I booked the appointment last June and unfortunately had to reschedule more times than I had liked but life does happen. Everyone there is awesome, friendly and come across as people that aren't doing their jobs. They truly enjoy what they do. My wife had a tattoo by Brit in October and she did mine also. We are both more than thrilled with how they turned out. My wi...fe had a very specific idea that was brilliantly put onto paper exactly how she envisioned it. I had more of an idea and left it in Brit's capable hands and she knocked it out of the park. The place is bright, clean, inviting which is nice. You immediately feel welcome there. My wife is already planning her next with Brit and I can see myself going again and again. Well worth the wait, they're busy for a reason! See more Read Less

My experience at Skinner Ink has been nothing short of amazing. The facility is bright, clean, and modern. The staff was very friendly and the customer service was excellent. Andrew did an outstanding job on the portrait of my dog. It looks exactly like him and far exceeded my expectations. Andrew understood the how important Hip Hop was too me and brought him to like :) I will be going back for my next tattoo in the near future and highly recommend Skinner Ink. Read Less

I went into Skinner Ink today for a consultation with Brittany after having come into the shop once before and also checking out her work online. Much to my surprise, and delight, I was able to take advantage of a cancellation and have my tattoo done immediately! Brittany was able to create exactly what I had envisioned which was very important as this tattoo is in memory of my sweet Pomeranian Sable who passed away 2 months ago. This is not my first tattoo but it is the first one I have acquired in the Barrie area. I am thinking I will be back in the furores and I would definitely highly recommend Skinner Ink as a great place to go. Wonderful clean premises and Brittany was awesome!
