Went up to the new location at Port Credit a couple days ago to get some new ink and was pretty disappointed when I saw it. I've been coming to Pleasure and Pain for my tattoos exclusively for more than a year and what kept me coming back was the vibe of the place. The old place had a real identity, from the smell to the art on the walls. I think that's one of the things that disappointed me the most, was the fact that the boys are phenomenal artists and they aren't even allowed to display their work anymore. It also smells like apples in there, which is really strange. It doesn't smell like you're where you're supposed to be anymore, takes away from the charm of being there. Not to mention the bike. Why is it there? What's the point? Who put it up there? It's the only thing to look at in the store. Everything's white, you feel like you're at the dentist, not in a tattoo shop. Going to Pleasure and Pain to get a tattoo used to be this experience I would look forward to, I'd get to smell the store, rock out to some great music, get an amazing tattoo and go home, this time, it just kinda took the fun out of it. It just feels like Kelly's selling out, feels like he's going corporate or something and I absolutely hate corruption in people who you think would never give up something they believe in just to appeal to a different crowd and make a little extra cash. The tattoo crowd is the tattoo crowd and if someone wants a tattoo, they're not gonna care what the place looks like, they're just gonna go get 'er done. But for those of us who keep coming back for more, we'd like to feel at home and this new place, the somewhat rude new staff, I don't know, it doesn't feel like home anymore. Like I said, I've only ever gotten inked at Pleasure and Pain and Lance and Andy have both done many of my tattoos, and you kinda get to know people a little bit when they're working on your skin for several hours at a time and from what I know of those boys, they thrive in the old environment, they work best under the conditions that they get to listen to whatever music they want to and have something to look at other than the blinding whiteness in the store. Obviously the quality of their work hasn't diminished in the slightest and they're still pumping out better than amazing tattoos and there's still nobody else who I'd ever want to do my ink, I'm just saying that I miss the vibes of the old place. Just doesn't feel like a Third Place anymore. Read Less
