Est. 2002, Niagara Region
The Niagara Region’s longest running tattoo studio under its original owner. Come in for custom work from artists with the portfolios to back it up, PicoSure laser removal for ink you’ve outgrown, or a piercing done properly the first time.
Pick what brought you in. Each service has its own page with the process, what to expect and aftercare.
Regret a tattoo, or just want it light enough to cover? Johnny maps out a realistic plan and looks after you from the first pass to the last.
Bring an idea, a reference or a sketch on a napkin. Our artists draw it up to fit your body, or you can flip through the flash books in our lounge. Traditional, colour, black and grey and full back pieces are all on the table.
Johnny has been piercing for more than 25 years. You get jewellery sized for the spot and your anatomy, a calm walk-through before the needle, and aftercare solution and instructions to take home.
PicoSure by Cynosure was the world’s first picosecond laser for tattoo removal, and it has held a Health Canada medical device licence since 2013. Older nanosecond lasers lean heavily on heat. PicoSure’s ultra-short pulses rely more on a pressure effect that shatters ink into finer particles your body clears between sessions.

The best place to get your tattoo removed! The studio is beautiful and spotless, great pricing and Johnny is amazing at what he does, super friendly, and professional. The tattoo removal machine is also one of the best on the market. I just had my first session and I’m already so happy with my experience. Highly recommend!
Good location, clean, well maintained shop, and super easy to book. Matt was fantastic! I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a high quality tattoo experience
Got my helix pierced here and I had a great experience. Johnny was extremely professional, he thoroughly explained everything he was doing and told me everything I needed to take care of the piercing. Overall, the shop is really clean and organized and you just know you’re in the hands of professionals.
Thanks to Johnny from sonic i had my face tattoos removed. One year later after one pass my face tattoos have faded to pretty much none existence. Thanks to him i finally feel like me again
Got my tattoo done today by Matt!! Such an amazing experience. Staff was lovely and organized. Such a welcoming and comforting environment. I am so happy with how my sleeve turned out. Will 100% be going to these guys for my next session!
Got my septum pierced here yesterday and the piercer was very educational and nice, price is totally worth the whole experience plus you get a cleaning solution for your piercing when you are done. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to get piercings done.
I would highly recommend anyone looking into tattoo removal to book an appointment here. Very clean and professional with 16 years of experience. He took the time to go over all the facts and myths involved in tattoo removal. Very high quality equipment.
Would give 10 stars if I could to Mat, tattoo artist extraordinaire. He goes above and beyond to help create the perfect design and bring it to life, takes his time and is 100% professional, Look no further for a tattoo artist , he is the best

Incredible service and an incredible price. This IS the place if your looking to get tattoos removed, thank me later
Awesome place took my best friend out for her first tattoo today! I was beyond annoyed with the first shop for telling her her idea was dumb they hurt her feelings so we went to sonic tattoo and they went above and beyond to give her exactly what she wanted. Both our tattoos are amazing! Will be back for sure!

Since 2002, with the same owner the whole time. That makes Sonic the Niagara Region’s longest running tattoo studio under its original ownership.
PicoSure, a picosecond laser made by Cynosure. Its ultra-short pulses break ink into finer particles than older nanosecond lasers, so many tattoos need fewer sessions. How many you need depends on the ink, colours, age of the tattoo and your skin, and Johnny will give you an honest estimate at your consult.
