Good to know before you book

  • Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
  • Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
  • Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
  • Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
  • Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.

Went to the Atomic Tattoo on Burnet and had a great experience. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and funny. Mike Pain did my tattoo and did an awesome job. Had me laughing the whole time. Got me in and out with no hassle! Fair price too!
