“fantastic experience with erin! had some stubborn jewelry i needed replaced and she was able to help me out with that. very knowledgeable, took time to explain everything carefully, and was very kind and understanding about my situation. i expected to pay a lot more than i did but i actually feel like i left with a good deal! i am so pleased with my new look and will 100% be back for future curation!”

    “I had a tattoo done by Celeste here recently and I'm so pleased with it! The whole experience was great- she took the time in our consultation to take my tattoo idea and adjust it so that it would look the best on my body. On tattoo day, Celeste was very welcoming and had a relaxed energy, was very clean and precise. I would definitely get a tattoo at true north with Celeste again in the future.”

    “Erin was absolutely wonderful when piercing my 5 year old's ears. She was informative, and made my child feel comfortable and safe. My kid says that other children should go see Erin if they want their ears pierced.”

    “I have no idea why it took me so long to write a google review! With all the compliments I receive, I always send them to True North. It is always a pleasure being there, the owner is always friendly, the shop is kept spotless, just a fantastic place and environment with highly skilled artists! I doubt you can find a better in Kingston. S.O. to Joel C for doing such a fantastic sleeve, I can't wait for what's next!!!”
