How It Works

Tattoos That Leave a Mark

Got my first tattoo from Alana here at Shallows! Blown away with the result, helped me so much with the design and was incredibly patient and understanding with what I wanted! Couldn’t recommend enough for people getting a first-time tattoo. I'm already thinking about another one, so I will be going back. :)

My sister and I got tattoos, each with Lila, yesterday. The whole thing was great; Lila was friendly and helpful and made useful suggestions based on her experience. Her aftercare advice was amazing as well. We love our tattoos!

Catherine Cameron

I got the bottomless tattoo; unreal. Tattoos are perfect. Artists are even better. It was my first one, so I was super nervous, but they accommodated me so well. Came out wanting more. Best tattoo shop ever. Super friendly. Super tattoos. 10/10 recommended.

What a fantastic little gem the shallows are!! Had my Payasa clown girl tattoo done today and can't be happier with the amazing realistic skills from Katie. Planning to go back and get more done from her and branch out to try the many other services they offer. Wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff from the moment I entered.

SLAY the house down, or whatever the hip ones say these days. I ALWAYS come here for my hair (Tegan) and my tattoos (all different artists), and no matter what, these guys always and ONLY give me C U NEXT TUESDAY. Not only is the environment fun and inviting, but all of the artists and staff are super friendly. I’ve been coming for years, and I love it every time. Thank you for making me sexy, Shallows.

Kiki

The vibe is so friendly and chill; my tattoo artist (Leight Ink) made me feel so at home and reassured me when I told him I was bad with pain 😮💨. It’s also incredibly decorated; I can tell lots of effort has gone into creating this safe space! Will 100% be coming back here to explore the other aspects it offers (hopefully going to get my nails done 💅).
