It was more pleasant to deal with the shop cat than it was to deal with anyone in the shop. Main guy (i'm assuming his name is Ian by all the other reviews written), was absolutely rude and made it seem like my friends and I were wasting his time just because he had to stop what he was doing and check his schedule. The girl sitting at the front didn't even acknowledge our existence, she was too busy picking at her nails. Went down the road to a different shop and they were not shocked by what we had to say about Artistic Integrity because everyone that comes in and had an interaction with Ian or anyone at Artistic Integrity, had nothing good to say. I have many many pieces done on my body and I have to say I have never dealt with someone as ignorant as the individuals in this shop. Can't quite understand how anyone could be happy about this shop or their experience. Read Less

I’ve had three cousins and my sister go here for tattoos. I went for my first a couple weeks back because I was comfortable and confident in their work based on the people I knew with tattoos from this parlor.
Ian took the idea I had on the spot and helped fit it and articulate it to what he thought would work/look the best for my body. Super impressed with the line work and extra detail Ian went to on on this tattoo. I would 100% recommend Ian and his shop if you’re looking for a professionally done tattoo. Read Less

Came here the other day because they were the only place that took walk-ins last minute. The shop is nice, clean, bright and airy. The staff is awesome, extremely friendly, welcoming and entertaining. Garth did a small tattoo for my cousin and I and he was super calm, nice and patient with us. Ian was there as well and he was very funny and kind! I highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be back because the staff here are awesome; very unpretentious and laid-back! Read Less

Honestly, this is the most unprofessional and substandard business (not just tattoo parlour) that I have ever been to. The front receptionist has literally no knowledge of jewellery and even when she asked the other staff for help they refused...so I basically served myself. I am so thankful that I would never dream of booking a tattoo here and that the shops true colours were shown through the most basic sales interaction. And keep in mind, this is all as a customer who still went through with the sale in hopes that the interaction would turn around, but no- it only proceeded to go downhill. In fact, I was told it was my fault that the sale took so long.
I have worked in several shops in my life as well as being covered in tats from shops around the world, so I do know what I am talking about. I live for this industry and was honestly trying to help a struggling shop make a better name for itself in Port Credit.
But to my dismay, I was met with hostility and rudeness that proved to me that all of the negative things I had heard about the shop were true. Don’t let the fb rating fool you- you can create fake profiles to boost your business rating.
So I not only give this shop a bad review, but I will actively do everything in my power to boycott Artistic Integrity and steer everyone I know away from it and into a more worthy shop in PC or elsewhere.
Again, beyond disappointed especially when I was giving them the benefit of the doubt walking in there, and struggled through a ten minute sale that took almost an hour due to the staffs’ ignorance.
Save your money, time, and skin-
Do yourself a favour-
Don’t even bother with Artistic Integrity Read Less

Got my first head tattoos. People kept telling me they would hurt a lot and bleed a lot. Not even the slightest, Ian is amazing at doing tattoos. I go to him every time, he designed them for me and they are amazing. More then I imagined. My husband got his done by Garth, another amazing tattoo artist.... We only go to artistic integrity for our tattoos. I recommend them to anyone who asks where I get mine done, or if they are looking for a place. See More Read Less

Through out the process he asked me if I need breaks / stretch / glass of water. The whole crew was great lots of laughs and fun.
Would totally recommend Garth and this shop to my friends and Family.
