“5 Star Google Review: It is an easy 5 stars for Zen tattoo studio. As a client who was not very familiar with the tattoo process, I was constantly reminded through my sessions that I was in the most capable and trusting hands. The Zen team is the most talented group of individuals in the GTA I have come across, combining their knowledge, skill, devotion, and patience for their craft to make it a truly seamless and worry-free experience. - Connor G”
“5 Star Google Review: It only took me 7 months to get back into the studio—and I’m so glad I did. The team at Zen Tattoo is incredible to work with, and Devon was available to help bring a new idea to life. I came in with some loose concepts, and he helped shape them into something far better than I could’ve imagined. The professionalism and quality here are second to none—truly the best I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for the next one! - Joe”
“5 Star Google Review: I highly recommend Zen Tattoo Studio to anyone looking for a tattoo artist. Austin, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. Our artist, Oxy, was outstanding! Oxy’s clean lines, precision, and attention to detail left all four of us impressed. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will definitely be back! - Amy”
