Blood, Sweat & Tears Tattoo Studio (BST Tattoo)

the best shop out there! I received most my tattoos from lauren and could not recommend her enough. she goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable throughout your appointment and makes getting tattooed enjoyable. everybody in the shop is super nice and makes it an enjoyable experience

Absolutely a wonderful shop with great artists. Dave has done full sleeves on both of my arms. I have Asian style on one arm and spooky portraits on the other. Don't think twice....this is the place to go.

Eric was great. My first tattoo was very peaceful and conversation distracted me from any pain. I went in as a walk in and I didn't have to wait long for Eric to finish the drawing and the whole process was probably 2 hrs.

The studio is really calming, clean, and comfortable. Everyone was really friendly there.

This place is a hidden gem! I had a neighbor refer me to these guys after I had a few horrible experiences with other shops. Apparently a lot of shops in the QC are very stuck up and treat you like a nuisance, so it was a relief to walk into this place and make an appointment. The staff is extremely laid back and fun to converse with while getting work done. They treat you with respect and make you feel welcomed unlike most shops I experienced. My artist, Justin Reynolds, did a phenomenal job. We had a sit down prior to the work and went over a few custom designs. He performed the work flawlessly and my new piece is well beyond my expectations. I'm lucky to have found these guys and I highly recommend this shop.

I am not new to the tattoo game; over the past 36 years I have gotten my fair share and I've seen good -and bad- ink. BS&T does superlative work. Honestly? There are very few people in the world that I would let tattoo me more than once, but Justin is certainly at the top of that list. Professional, friendly, everything you could want in a tattoo artist.

The studio itself is very spacious, clean & friendly. The staff actually took the time to figure out my name & use it while I was there. Plenty of parking, good neighbourhood too.

My ONLY complaint? I want one of their t-shirts, but they never have them in XL or XXL. Come on guys! I'd wear that thing out if you'd just getvlarger sizes!

Justin did a great job and was super nice. Everyone was professional and kind. I can’t wait to go back.

I cannot say enough good things about Blood, Sweat, and Tears. I have gotten tattoos in different shops around the country for 20 years and this shop has been the most professional, clean, and welcoming that I've ever been to. Everything from the consultation to the appointment reminder call is smooth and goes the extra mile. The artists are on time and prepared when you get to your appointment, and the shop is relaxed and comfortable. Once your tattoo begins it feels like you're hanging out at a good friend's house getting the best tattoo of your life.

Dave has been my artist for the last couple of years working on my entire back. I am pretty picky about what I want and I come in with a vision. Dave listens to every idea and concern I have and works his artistic magic to make these ideas come to life. Everything is original and one of a kind. He has a light hand and is very efficient with his work so the ink goes in smoothly and fast. I barely scab up from his work and the healing process is fast and easy. Dave's work is large, the colors are deep and true, and his images are clean and crisp making them readable from across the room. I always enjoy our conversations and see Dave as a friend who I could hang out with even away from the shop.

If you are looking for original, professional, made-to-last work, this is your spot. All of the artists are at the top of their game and you will not be disappointed.

The tattoo photos attached are still in progress. The drawing above the owl has not been inked yet. The dragon and skull on the left were done by Dave and are over two years old. The tribal and heart family crest are old tattoos not done by Dave.

I scheduled an appointment on Friday 10/15/21 to get a tattoo on Wednesday 10/20/21. Today I showed up for my scheduled appointment and was informed that I did not have an appointment for today but rather Friday 10/22/21. When I presented my appointment card showing that I was indeed scheduled for today (10/20/21) they simply said "Sorry" the tattoo artist has another appointment for today and that I would need to reschedule. I had to take time off work and drive 45 minutes for this appointment and all I got was "Sorry." I have received 3 tattoos from this shop in the past but will not be returning for anymore. I will find another tattoo shop that values their customers and can keep an appointment.

Dave is the best around the city you may have a shirt wait but well worth the time! Prices are awesome and the quality of work is outstanding! Highly recommend!! AAA+++

Love this place. Everyone is super nice and Lauren did an amazing job on my first tattoo. Will be going back to her for future tattoos!
