Dutchman Tattoos

Dutchman Tattoos is a high quality establishment. Very professional w amazing artists, super clean, and a great, warm atmosphere.
Shout out to my artist, Jessica Paré -who is awesome and crazy talented

I managed to secure and schedule a short notice tattoo cover-up booking with Carlos Vanst. During the initial consulting Carlos was very organized and offered excellent ideas and designs. Yesterday during my tattoo session, the 3-4 hours went by so fast that I didn't even realize the tattoo was done. I highly recommend Carlos and Dutchman Tattoos for your next ink session. Dutchman is the best of the best, and Carlos will go above and beyond what you expect. Can't wait for my next one, cheers boys!

Carlos was amazing! He captured what I wanted and created a beautiful piece that I absolutely love. Great conversation and everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait for my next tattoo! Highly recommend this business.

Jessica is an incredible artist! Can bring an idea to life. I have many tattoos however Jessica surpassed my expectations the work I had done by her are my favourite! I highly recommend if you are looking for an artist have a consultation with Jess.you won’t be disappointed!

Trent is an amazing tattoo artist, a great talent that adds to the prestige that Dutchman Tattoo embodies.

Great experience! So happy with the result. Exceeded my expectation.

Thank you so very much Leo!

Carlos is amazing! He’s amazingly talented and so kind. I will be getting more tattoos here on the future:)

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin. Leo is soooo amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He was super professional but at the same time very easy to talk to and was very responsive to any questions I had during the entire design process. It was my first ever tattoo and I was super nervous as I am normally very afraid of needles but he made sure that I had nothing to worry about. Place is super clean and inviting and the whole staff there is super friendly. I never thought that I would ever be able to get a tattoo but Leo has changed all that. I cannot wait to design some more pieces with him and start getting more work done. Like I said, super amazing work and even more than that, he is simply just an amazing and honest person. Thank you Leo once again and I cannot wait for my next piece.

Great place for tattoo work comfortable and great environment. Excellent experience and every person in the shop are worth checking out

I did my first Tattoo with Carlos in Dutchman Tattoo, and what an amazing experience! Very friendly and professional, the tattoo is perfect, exactly the way I wanted! I will definitely do another one soon! Highly recommend Dutchman Tattoo with Carlos!

I got my first tattoo from Dutchman Tattoos in 2020. The front desk staff, Lee, was very friendly and helpful in directing me to one of their portrait artists, Carlos Vanst. This was my first tattoo and an important one as it was a memorial piece for my late mother. I was very happy with how the piece turned out and with the overall experience. In 2023 I returned to Dutchman Tattoos and to Carlos for a classic realism piece, which I absolutely love.

I have had an excellent experience with Dutchman Tattoos and with my artist, Carlos Vanst. I would highly recommend Dutchman Tattoos and Carlos Vanst for those looking for a first-time tattoo and for tattoo collectors alike.

Please enjoy some of these photos. Note that the portrait back was done in Dec 2020 and has a few new touch ups on it that my artist added. The skull & roses chest piece was done in Feb 2023 and is fresh post-session in the pictures seen.

Jess is the BEST! Her design was exactly what I wanted and she created something so amazing! I'm obsessed!

Second tattoo by Jess Pare and am stoked! Great artist and person. Awesome vibe at the shop too. See you again soon!

Jessie Dicey has been working on a Looney Toon upper sleeve for a couple of years and it is now finished. I’m completely satisfied with it and so is my family.

I have always had a great experience at Dutchman Tattoos! I have 4 tattoos, all done at Dutchman by various artists.

Very very happy with the work Paul Luke did on my arms. He executed the Nordic ruins for the back of both my arms so neatly. Lines were straight and corners are nice and sharp. His in-fill of all the lettering is solid. Just waiting for things to heal up a bit and will check everything out again. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and gave me all the info I needed to care for my new artwork, which I now show off with great pride! Thank-you Paul for helping me fulfill a dream I've had of getting these tattoos done. These particular tattoos carry a very deep meaning for me so once again, a huge thank-you! I'LL BE BACK! Paul, please don't forget about the tattoo I still want you to do for me. Thanks Bud!

Update: I went back for next one. This time I had the honour of meeting the man himself. John 'The Dutchman'. What a great guy. Chatted with him like we'd been friends for years and had the privilege of input from his side regarding my new piece, along with Paul. Once again, I cannot say enough good things about Dutchman Tattoo's, you guys are the best! Paul, once again, a massive 'THANK-YOU' for my new piece! Really neat with clean crisp lines and the choice of red mad it pop nicely. It was worth every minute and felt like home when I walked back in through the front doors of the studio. I repeat. I WILL BE BACK! Thanks Paul, you're the best!

Going to the Dutchman tattoos was the best choice for me. The Tattoo Artist Jessica Pare is fantastic, caring, patience, understanding and took great care that I was feeling at ease and that the tattoos was exactly what I wanted. What I liked what you can have a free consultant with the artist you choose and you both are on the same page on the tattoo wanting, The Shop is very inviting and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I recommend Dutchman Tattoos to anyone wanting to have a tattoo or to explore the idea. I give Dutchman Tattoo 10 out of 10! I will be going back for sure!

This place was recommended by my dear friend.
I made the appointment with Mr. Dutchman but that day he wasn't there. Instead there was Leo Canosa. I was extremely scared at first. Initially I went back and Leo did the tattoo. Leo did an extraordinary job.
Leo, I am definitely proud of your work!
Definitely recommend this place and would go back for another tattoo!
Great work! Great staff!

Incredible set of artists here. An owner who cares about his employees, customers and the overall atmosphere of the place.

If you're looking for a detailed, customized piece of body art that is just to your liking, come here.

Love this place & awesome Crew! Bunch of Talented artist but my #1 to go to guy is Carlos if your in the area you have to check him out he does the BEST portrait’s I’ve ever seen, he kills it everytime definitely won’t let anyone else tattoo me but him so highly recommend him

Carlos Vanst is by far one of the most talented artists I’ve ever had work on me but leaving me with a very memorable experience in the process. He is a true artist threw and threw.

Carlos has given me two pieces so far, and I’m booked again for this month. He listens to what I want, puts his spin on it- at my request- and nails it every time. Great artist, great shop! John and his wife make you feel like family! I highly recommend Carlos and Dutchman Tattoos in general.

Had gone to Dutchman tattoos 20 years ago for my first tattoo, then again 15 years ago, and now just recently. I have always encountered warm and very friendly people that work there. Have been very helpful with their insight of knowledge and experience and interested in my idea of what i had wanted to get done.
Recently I had Leo do my tattoo, of which i can't thank enough for how it turned out. He is truly an Artist.and made me feel really happy and glad that i had him do the work for me. I highly recommend Dutchman Tattoos for any tattoo work to be done.

The only place to go for tattoos. They take time to discuss first and give advice. I got my 4th one from them. Leo was the artist. It is beautiful.

Jessica at Dutchman is a true master of her craft. She did an amazing coverup for me which is a work of art in itself. Beautiful!

I came in to get a tattoo done and I was pretty sure of what I wanted. The artist that worked with me was named Paul Luke. He was very conscientious and he worked through many pictures before finding exactly what I wanted. I was lucky to find such great service! I will be back again and I’ll be sure to recommend them to my friends.

Great service, Leo was amazing in the design and tattoo process (and the fainting one, thanks again for helping me through that!)

100% recommend - Paul Luke Mendoza was so kind, patient, and helpful with my first tattoo experience. He helped make my tattoo vision a reality and it was quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend this place to everybody that's interested in getting a tattoo.

I am absolutely so impressed with Dutchman Tattoos! 100000% going back for my next tattoo! John is a true wealth of tattoo knowledge, and Leo is an amazing artist! My tattoo looks better than I could have ever imagined!

This tattoo was done in Halifax in the early 60's. I got a great tattoo and tribute for my father and me' to honor him done. Respect ' 2 my father 2 always remind me of the man. Thx. I had a great tattooist ' she was awesome ' epic. Bless. Thx you, I love the tattoo. I'd go back. Bless

Jessica is an awesome artist. Great personality easy to talk to. Im going back to finish my sleeve, and ill be back for more art. What can I say, its an addiction

Yesterday I saw Jarret Clarkson for a minor reworking of a tattoo (done elsewhere) where portions ended up being a bit too dark. He not only brightened it up but also did a little once over on other areas to better blend the new work with the old, so now I have a lovely collection of autumn leaves and a greater definition of my birds against the grey wash in the background.
Jarret has a really lovely demeanour, is calm and friendly to chat with (I didn’t even need my phone!) and is a quick, knowledgeable, and skilled tattooist. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I got some work done at the dutchman over 10 years ago and returned a couple weeks ago for another piece. Jarret Clarkson does amazing work and looking forward to seeing how the new tattoo heals up. He has a great attitude and very easy to chat with through the whole 5 hours, which I have a hard time doing with anyone. I highly recomend the dutchman and his crew.

Great service both times I've been - friendly staff, complimentary tea/water/coffee, and the second time I visited they fit me in after closing hours to accomodate my schedule. 10/10 would go back (and plan to, for my next tattoo).

Had my grandson print his name on my wrist then tattoo it at Dutchman.
This place is legendary and John is still tattooing.
Very happy with this latest piece

I've had two large chest pieces done by Carlos Vanst and they were exceptional. Great place, great people, good quality work.

The work done was definitely 5 stars worth, but the price was a little more than vat I expected. And no credit cards accepted, so I had to go withdraw cash, which hurt even more.

Friendly staff and great artists. Would recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo for sure

I've collectively spent at least 30 hours having my arms inked - I wouldn't go anywhere else. The level of skill, hygiene and general professionalism has been amazing. Carlos Vanst is my artist - genius guy - so happy that I found him.

Would recommend Carlos to anybody getting a tattoo, works with you and his work is quality while also completed quickly. Clean shop, high standards for the tattoo artists, everybody's work looks very good, slightly pricey.

The shop is clean, and the staff is kind and professional. The artists are incredibly talented and skilled. Highly recommended! Shout out to my artist, Jessica Paré. Incredibly talented with a light touch. Work is nice and saturated with very little scabbing, so healing time is short.

This tattoo was done in Halifax in the early 60's. I got a great tattoo and tribute for my father and me' to honor him done. Respect ' 2 my father 2 always remind me of the man. Thx. I had a great tattooist ' she was awesome ' epic. Bless These guys are great but they should step into the 21 century ' even as a customer I felt the fear about just smelling like pot'. Like I was putting her job at risk. Its not the time to be anti pot' that SUCKED.literally a fear reference made every few minutes from everyone except my tattooist.its their shop' still.i was feeling a little uncomfortable' still it was great. I love the tattoo. I'd go back. Bless

Cleaned Graffiti & Patio (Pressure Washed). Dealt with "Marcus" who was extremely professional. They paid immediately and were very happy with the results. It's a pleasure to deal -> "Business to Business" with reputable people such as these. They take pride in their store, their customers and dealing will CONTRACTORS like me. Thanks Marcus!

The best tattoo shop hands down. You get what you pay for and what you pay for is high end quality work.
Carlos is an amazing artist and compadre.

Went into Dutchman Tattoo a few months ago, and finally decided to get another tattoo today. Carlos went through everything with me, showed me him unpacking the needles, etc, and even put on acdc tunes for me while he was doing my tattoo. I will be going back for my next tattoo as well! Great service and care.

Very happy with my tattoo and with the place! Jessica is very talented and professional. Thank you for your hard work!
