Welcome to the Ink Den in Waterloo! We are a local, family-owned shop that brings together a collective of different artists.
Each of our artists has their own unique style, and brought together we create a harmonious and cohesive experience for our clients. Our retro-inspired aesthetic sets us apart, and we take great pride in our studio's eclectic style. From our mesmerizing flower wall and candle staircase to our funky disco bathroom, conversation pit, and enchanting brick moss wall, there are endless opportunities for stunning photos and visual interest.
We offer a wide range of tattoo and piercing services, including custom designs, cover-ups, flash designs, and body jewellery. Our talented artists and piercers are dedicated to creating a unique and personalized experience for each person.
At Ink Den, we are a family environment. Our clients mean the world to us, and we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel embraced and valued. Join us at the Ink Den and become a part of our creative family today!
1. We promise a safe space to be tattooed, pierced, or receive any service we offer:
- We have cameras in all public areas
- You may always bring friends with you for your comfort and safety.
- You will never be asked to remove clothing without a valid reason and being offered proper coverings.
- We will discuss what you can expect before anything is done and you can ask questions and explain if you are not 100% comfortable with something.
- We will offer you a privacy screen if needed, and you can invite a trusted person to be with you.
- We can have a second member of a preferred gender present during consultations if they are in a sensitive area.
- There are no cameras in the screened off areas.
We will never use your data for any reason but for contacting you for service related reasons (promotions, to confirm or change appointments, health and safety, aftercare, etc.)
- No artist or member of Ink Den will ever make sexual or inappropriate comments at any point before, during, or after your appointments.
- No clients will be permitted to make sexual or inappropriate comments to artists, team members, or other clients at any point, or publicly online or on our social media accounts.

4. We guarantee our work: we offer a 90-day touch-up on most tattoos if needed - please remember that no tattoo heals perfectly and we do not offer touch-ups on hands, fingers, knees, feet, elbows, or any other areas our artists advise you against.
5. Our quotes won't change: if we give you a price for a single session tattoo, we will honour our original quote.
6. Unfortunately, Ink Den is located in a basement, and we don't have the means or infrastructure available yet to make our space fully accessible. Because of this, we're willing to make arrangements to come to you, or find a space where we can tattoo you if you can't access our unit.
