😠 Very unprofessional and I was not happy at all, I waited three hours past my appointment time and then was told that the price I was expecting couldn’t be offered to me anymore after waiting three hours and making a 2 hour drive, honestly felt bad for the artists because nothing was their fault and... People often mention tattoo, time, artist, appointment, good, Nithik, tattoos, told, shop, hours,

    Very unprofessional and I was not happy at all, I waited three hours past my appointment time and then was told that the price I was expecting couldn’t be offered to me anymore after waiting three hours and making a 2 hour drive, honestly felt bad for the artists because nothing was their fault and they were great management was clearly just horrible, I didn’t even get to speak to anyone about having to wait and the price change so i left empty handed and it was like whoever was in charge couldn’t be bothered… not great service

    Just got a simple tattoo of a cracked lightbulb from Abbie. She was friendly, quick, and super super gentle—it hurts now, a couple hours later, more than when she was doing it! Will absolutely be back for my next tattoo in this style.

    Came in for a 6:30 tattoo with my boyfriend, his artist Nithik did an amazing job and was ready to go for 6:30pm. My artist Ampit was 10-15mins late, made me wait an hour and a half for him to be ready (mind you I told him 2 days prior he can free hand it and that I wanted a simple outline of flowers, vines and leaves for a sleeve). When he finally started my tattoo at 8pm it was not what I asked for as he would only accept a photo from google of a single tattoo and not a sleeve to trace, so instead of a sleeve outline I got one singular tattoo. He took 2.5 hours to do a simple outline! The tattoo is really good but for it to take 2.5 hours is ridiculous, he was keeping me in the chair as long as possible. The owner kept coming and stopping the artist multiple times during my tattoo and at the end I had to tell him I’d reschedule and finish the rest as it was almost 10:30pm. When I went to pay I ended up having to wait almost 15 mins to pay bc the junked out owner was too busy talking about the cash drawer and chatting with the other artists. Also want to note I was charged tax on my tattoo, I’ve never been charged tax on a tattoo, on top of that not accepting debit or credit? Only taking cash or e-transfer? Talk about running a business under the table. Don’t get me wrong, I understand having a business to run but at the same time y’all need to learn to be professional and not try to scam people. Had an appointment for my mom to get a tattoo and cancelled that, will never be returning. The only reason there’s any stars at all is bc the tattoo turned out good and Nithik did a really good job.

    When inquiring, they got back to me within an hour, got me in touch with the artist and had an appt ready. I had a thigh piece done by one of the apprentices Adrienne. She took my idea and put her own twist on it(with my permission to do so) and its everything I've wanted and more. She took her time, made sure I loved it before even putting on the stencil, provided great support and put up with my not so favourable language at times. I was a first time client and will now be a longtime one. Side note, the whole salon is freaking adorable.

    I'd prefer not to generalize the whole business based on my one experience, however the artist that did my tattoo was very late showing up to my appointment, took twice as long to complete the tattoo than time I had booked, was extremely rude and unprofessional, took a smoke break between her previous appointment and mine and did not wash or sanitize her hands, and did a very sloppy job with my tattoo. The lines are not precise and some areas are very blotchy. I ended up paying over 150$ for a relatively small tattoo (no colour), when I've paid 80-100$ (including 15% tip) for tattoos the same size. Again, that was just one artist, however I did not have a good first impression with this business.

    I was thinking about this tattoo for past 2 years but haven’t come across any good artists that i could put my faith in. But one day i came across with Larry’s work and decided to book an appointment. I explained what I wanted and my ideas he came up with a beautiful design and exactly what i wanted. He poured all his time and efforts didn’t rush at all. I was very pleased and happy when i left the studio definitely going back to him for colouring and be getting few more tattoos done too. Not only Larry’s other artists that i met there they were very friendly and cheerful. Loved the ambiance too.

    Kaylee did some absolutely awesome art , and was incredibly reasonable with my requests and answered all my questions. I can't wait to have another layover in Halifax to go and get another tattoo here

    The service was wonderful. The Nithik was amazing and did a wonderful job. He was definitely a perfectionist which I appreciated so much.

    First time ever going to their shop and my artist did not show up for my appointment and was just told to remake it. Huge waste of my time as I had made the appointment hours before having to go to work as I also don't live near their shop. Would not recommend very unprofessional

    Extremely disappointed. Booked an appointment with Sarah and showed up on time. She was doing a tattoo that would push my appointment back two HOURS without any notice. Had no other option to rectify the situation. After driving over and then waiting for them, i will never go back nor recommend.

    Today I got my first tattoos! Amelia was my artist and did an amazing job! She collaborated with me to create the perfect tattoo. Communication was exceptional. Initially when she started my tattoo, I was sitting upright in a chair and got dizzy. I told her I felt dizzy and thought I might faint. She immediately grabbed me a cup of water and started setting up the bed so I could lay down instead. She continued to check with me to make sure I was still doing good. Overall great experience! Will be going back!

    When I called to book for the appointment, I was told an apprentice will do my tattoo who is Andrew Ford. But Andrew is not an apprentice looking at my tattoo. He has such a good hand that you do not feel anything while he is tattooing your body. He is the perfect tattoo artist. He deserves more than what he is paid for. He tattooed my left arm with a MAORI WARRIOR, with such a professional perfection and my right arm I got a tattoo for AUTISM AWARENESS which is very meaningful and done with perfection. I will definitely come back for my next tattoo, and for sure will recommend anyone who want to get a tattoo visit Agricola Street Ink Tattoo and ask for Andrew Ford. Their price is very good. NEEVEN THANTONY Cheers Andrew

    Very nice people here. Jay was an excellent artist that produced an amazing final product. Better than I could have imagined for a first tattoo. It’s time to go through the recovery process and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Jay! Ps. Pain wasn’t too bad. Less than a bee sting.

    Called in the morning to ask about walk ins. They seemed nice over the phone and told me to come at 5pm and they would give me the small tattoo I wanted once I arrived everything was fine. The artist said she was going upstairs to “draw” my design. 40 minutes later she comes back down as another customer made an appointment with her so her and the owner told us to go home and come back another time after waiting 40 minutes and she didn’t even draw up my design complete waste of time will not be going back.

    My daughter, son and I made a last minute decision to get tattoos together yesterday and we were booked in with Nithik. He was incredibly thorough, attentive and professional. Everything was cleaned / sanitized. My son got his first tattoo and is thrilled with it. My daughter and I already have several tattoos but we are both very happy with our new additions! We all got script and the lines are very crisp and clear. Nithik made sure we were happy with the font chosen, the size of the tattoo and the placement. If I had to come up with one complaint, it wouldn't be about anything Nithik did but that the shop was very cold 🥶 Other than that, an incredible core memory made for myself and my children!! Thank you, Nithik and 902 Tattoo Collective! ("no matter when, no matter where, no matter what ... we'll always be there for each other")

    Everything was good but the artist is not so professional in making the same tattoo in finishing I’ll give 10/1

    Amazing tattoo shop. I've been there twice this week already and I will be back on Tuesday for another one. The people are amazing and the tattoos are even better. They're well priced and you won't be disappointed.

    My experiance with staff is always very friendly and nice and I leave with tattoos that I am happy with at the time. Unfortunately, my tattoos heal poorly done and needing to be redone. With many attempts to contact the artist, I have been left unanswered and with a light outline of a poorly done tattoo that was meant to be very sentimental:(
