Canalside Tattoo Company

Wonderful experience today at the shop. It was extremely clean, and vibes were immaculate. I knew I was in the right place seeing the awesome Star Wars memorabilia. CJ (my artist) was amazing, I came with a pre designed piece but hearing her opinion on placement as well as size was extremely helpful. She was organized and very clean. She also made sure made sure I was educated on aftercare. The whole process from scheduling to the session was a wonderful experience and I will be back! Thanks everyone!

I can't say enough great things. I had an idea of what I wanted and Matt Rolfe brought it to life! I couldn't be happier️

Just visiting my son and granddaughter. She had a nose piercing done and was shocked at how painless the experience was.

We had a great experience for our first visit to Canalside. The waiting area is inviting, and everything is incredibly clean. My daughter had her ears pierced, and Megan, the piercer, was kind, patient, attentive, and understanding. The whole staff jumped to the ready when "Pineapple" rang out! We were very happy with the experience and I look forward to visiting again.

Really fun place! Got a tattoo there by CJ today. Very clean environment, knowledgeable, kind, and amazing work! I will certainly recommend this place to friends and family.

I get my piercings done here and I love all the staff, incredibly helpful and understanding

I am very impressed with the Canalside Tattoo Co. I saw the shop at the Flower City tattoo convention and decided they were the best fit for me and I was soo right! CJ designed a blue cornflower tattoo and it is just perfect. The colors are true and the design is just what I had envisioned. Her demeanor was very professional; she answered all of my questions and listened to me carefully. Her technique was extremely gentle. This was my first tattoo and I was expecting pain but it wasn't. I am definitely going back for a second. I highly recommend this studio and CJ Cruickshank!

My girlfriend and I recently had our first ink done at Canalside by Shawn and we were thrilled with how the tattoos came out, as well as the entire experience. Shawn and his crew made sure we were comfortable, explained the process and after care, and they were hilarious to boot. Highly recommend this shop for first or followup ink!

Cj did an awesome job on our tattoos! Definitely recommend her! Definitely going back for another one. If you are looking to get a tattoo I would highly recommend Canalside Tattoo!

My sister and I walked in after we saw a Facebook posting. Both of our piercers listened to our wants and made us totally comfortable! I’ve had my nose pierced before and this has been the best experience I’ve had! My sister passed out and let me say I am so amazed at how quick and professional all the ladies came together to make sure she was safe and okay. My sister was totally okay just took a little nap! I will recommend them to everyone looking for a piercing and will definitely come back for any future piercings!

Great piercing experience for my spawn's birthday. Professional staff, great atmosphere and fantastic step-by-step experience. Megan you rock!

Got my first tattoo here with CJ. The shop was IMMACULATE! She did a fantastic job and I’m so glad I finally did it. I would highly recommend this shop.

My first time going to canal side after hearing such great things from my father and others about the place was awesome. My daughter wanted her first tattoo and I wanted a nother one as well, so being my daughter's first tattoo I was a little nervous but we had Matthew as are artist he was great hands down, he went over things with her and described what was doing step by step so she stayed comfortable and the art work was great I got 1 done as well and both are very satisfied and already got appointments to go back. I will continue to go hear from now on and have already told other about the establishment as well. Thanks again and continue to keep up the great work and hospitality, as you and your great staff continue with excellence.

My appointment was at 12, we got there a bit early and it opens at 12 so we had to wait but i don't mind:) when it did open there was no wait and they had my piercing done right away. I don't remember the name of my piercer (I'm so sorry!) But they were absolutely lovely and very cute. Honestly I'd love to just be there all the time it was such a cool place (hire me someday) they were so friendly and professional and stylish. Also i got a CUTE pair of socks and a pin. 10/10 <3

Shawn and his team of gifted artists provide a clean, safe and friendly experience. I feel completely comfortable in this shop and have had the majority of my work (both piercing and tattoos) done here. I’m super happy with how beautiful everything has turned out and I’ll continue to be a loyal client.

Seen a tattoo from this shop and it was the worst thing ive ever seen in my life.whatever you do.never go here

I’m willing to drive over an hour to come here specifically, amazing atmosphere with the best staff.

My first, but definitely not last, visit to Canalside was stellar. Even after a tiny miscommunication (which was handled professionally and quickly), I was pickled tink with the whole process.

I gave Shawn a list of flowers I wanted included in my piece and left the entire design, and colors used, to his expertise. I was not one bit disappointed. The result was phenomenal! The time, care and talent poured into my tattoo, plus the great personalities of the crew, added to the constant banter and laughs - it all made the entire experience an absolute blast. 10/10 very good dudes at Canalside! And just look at that tattoo. Thanks, Shawn. I will look forward to future endeavors!
