Painfully Pretty Tattoo studio is an amazing place. The artists all have incredible talent. Penny Pain is my personal favorite. The studio is a comfortable place and welcomes all people. I definitely recommend checking out the artists on Instagram. I have gotten a few larger pieces done by Penny. So has my husband and 3 of my adult kidlets. Everyone is done exquisitely to the different taste of the person. So totally I love with mine. And I have had a few done.

The girls are amazing! The space is done up so well and they're all so friendly, inclusive, and welcoming. Have had tattoos done by SikNak so far. Love her!

Great place, very friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Got 2 tattoos done there so far (thanks Nik!), and will definitely come back when I'm ready for more!

Absolutely loved it here. Got a tattoo from DeviousNik, but everyone makes you feel welcome.
It has a great vibe.

I have gotten a few small pieces from DeviousNik, Lacey and Penny and I just got my first large piece from Penny as well. I can't say enough about how much I love and look forward to visiting the shop even though I know that I'm about to be in voluntary pain for hours.

Everyone has their own style but they are all so tremendously talented, professional, fun and wonderful. The sense of comradery and the care that they have for their clients, community and local organizations is second to none.

They'll treat you above and beyond the norm and you'll leave with a piece of artwork on your body. I cannot recommend this shop and its artists enough!

I can't speak highly enough of this Studio. My artist Devious Nik was absolutely amazing, it was my first tattoo and she took all the steps to ensure my comfort. I can't recommend this Studio enough, the other artists were also friendly and overall created a wonderful vibe for the experience

I love their new space it is so cool, love getting to know the gals. Definitely a safe fun place to be. Most of my tattoos are from the amazing Lacey. Can’t wait to get more tattoos with the girls. Being at the shop is a wonderful experience. I very much enjoy listening to devious Nicole talking it’s a nice change from the quiet I live with every day.

I got nails from the fabulous Lynn and honestly I’ve been to a few nail places and I’ve gone to a nail tech who works out of her home and I’ve never felt cared about. I never went back to any of them. However when getting my nails done from Lynn she asked if my fingers were sore from my skin picking, from my nail ripping off the day before and if the light was too hot that I could move my fingers out. I’m not the best at keeping gel nails for a long amount of time that being said I would go back and get them done again from Lynn.

The artists here are always a good time. Love chilling with and chatting with everyone while getting my tattoos. Siknak has already put in a ton of hours on my leg sleeve and I'm loving her and the process. Her talent is unreal. Definitely recommend anyone to this shop. Maybe not uptight people haha

I have never felt so much love in a tattoo shop before. Not only do they care about each other, but their clients too. I will be coming back for more Tattoos. ️

I love this studio. It is very inclusive, great atmosphere, fun things from local vendors to shop from, and the tattoos are great too! I have been tattooed by 3/4 artists currently at the studio and will always go back to them. They are all excellent at what they do! I would recommend over and over and over again!

The tattoo that Penny did for me is gorgeous and I love it! She took a couple of basic thoughts and turned them into art for me. I couldn't be happier with the results.
21 November 2021 5:28
Had my first tattoo done by Nicole. She was very sweet and the whole shop had good energy. My tattoo turned out so incredible, better than I could've imagined!
15 November 2021 15:52
The shop is gorgeous and the vibe is really amazing! The ladies working there are super talented, chill, supportive, professional and so much fun. I have a tattoo from Lacey and just got one from Nicole, and they are both amazing. Hopefully I can get one from Penny next to complete the trifecta:) Girl power!

Update: I got a flash piece by Penny for the Aids walk and I absolutely love it. As always, the experience was great and she was fast as a fox! Also, she is a fox.

Show these ladies your support because they are supporting their community, women everywhere and themselves!

Nik did my tattoos and absolutely crushed them! All three were super welcoming and the environment was amazing! Highly recommend!
02 November 2021 12:30
Had an great experience getting tattooed by Nik! It's a great, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend!
16 October 2021 5:53
Such a wonderful and welcoming place! Had an excellent experience with Nik today, she has great attention to detail and made me feel very comfortable explaining the whole process every step of the way, and made sure to frequently check in with me to see how I was doing.
I will definitely be going back to get more work done by all the ladies in the shop!
07 August 2021 13:01
Love the shop.it's beautiful and the girls are amazing. They made me feel comfortable the whole time and we were all laughing and telling stories. Definitely one of the best shops in saskatoon.

Penny and her crew are rockstars. Never awkward walking in here like it is at some other tattoo shops

I had an AMAZING experience. Penny Pain is an amazing artist. The shop is decorated beautifully. It’s been a dream of mine to start a flower sleeve end I managed to get in with Penny. Nik and Lacey were also very kind. The place was VERY CLEAN. Penny followed up with me to check in how my healing was going. I’m Soo happy my dream sleeve has been started with Penny and I cannot wait to get more tattoos by her. Penny sent me home with some really cute stickers. Penny is also very down to earth and kind. The value for my money was well worth it. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I’m very picky, particular and a clean freak and this shop definitely met my standards and beyond. Thanks Soo much Penny for the experience! I definitely recommend Painfully Pretty Tattoo’s!

I’ve had the pleasure of getting tattoos from all three of these lovelies. Penny, Lacey & Nicole are awesome and pure pleasure to deal with! In fact I’m going back tomorrow to get another. The new studio is absolutely beautifully decorated & such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend
16 July 2021 1:39
I saw Nicole for my first tattoo, she was so sweet and walked me through everything and made sure i was comfortable the entire time and took breaks when i needed them. Highly recommend this shop!
06 July 2021 10:20
I got tattooed by the lovely Penny here, with a predrawn she posted online. I had the pleasure of meeting all the lovely girls there & had an amazing experience! The shop itself is very clean and inviting, I was greeted right away and immediately felt comfortable! Penny was very thorough and made sure I knew proper after care & was doing good the entire time. 10/10, would definitely recommend!

Penny did a floral piece on my forearm and it’s stunning! These ladies have created such a welcoming, relaxed, and empowering environment at their shop. Being from out of town, I would easily go out of my way again to come back here.
20 June 2021 11:22
The beautiful ladies at Painfully Pretty are amazing! Lacey was my artist, she gave me a floral half sleeve and it turned out amazing! She is so kind and the shop it so clean. I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and can't wait to go back!
18 June 2021 10:24
My best friend and I went in and got tattoos from Nicole. She was amazing! Talked us through the process (and even explained the different needle types to me!). She was patient with what we wanted and did an awesome job! Plus the conversation was amazing (and nerdy). Will definitely be back!
16 June 2021 0:02
I have now had the pleasure of being tattooed by all three of the lovely ladies at Painfully Pretty! The atmosphere of this shop is so welcoming and comfortable - Penny, Lacey and Nicole all make you feel so cared for (even when they're not the one tattooing you). Plus, the quality of work is absolutely incredible. Thank you ladies for being so dang awesome:) Can't wait for my next appointment!
05 June 2021 18:29
I've seen two of these three ladies and would highly recommend them! Most recently, I saw Nicole and she was awesome, both at the work and at providing a great atmosphere! The whole shop has a great vibe; safe and welcoming!
05 June 2021 17:08
I got a tattoo from Nik, she was professional, funny, easy to talk with and an amazing tattoo apprentice! Lacey was there to over see and she was professional, amazing and down to earth! 10/10 on the shop! Can't wait to see any of these girls again!
25 May 2021 22:39
I've been tattooed by both Lacey and Nicole and both ladies are absolutely incredible! Clean, cute, professional place and amazing artists. Definitely recommend!
25 May 2021 3:13
Have gotten tattooed by Lacey and Nicole now and have nothing but great things to say about how at home they make me feel every visit. I'm bad at changing my mind last minute and both have a way of pulling ideas I have into something spectacular. I am also absolutely in love with their new studio, despite trying to run into every piece of furniture possible lol
23 May 2021 9:03
I was lucky enough to be tattooed by Nicole and enjoyed every minute of it. The shop was easy to find and had a very welcoming atmosphere, and I was met with the (under-the-mask) smiling face of Nicole upon walking in. She's super easy-going and easy to talk with which made the whole experience more comfortable. Although she is still newer to tattooing, she followed and explained all of the steps and created a beautiful tattoo which would made me think she's been doing this her whole life.

Definitely check out the shop and talk with them about your next tattoo idea; I can guarantee you won't regret it.
I was very happy with my experience and cannot wait to get more tattoos from Nicole in the future!
17 May 2021 2:49
Amazing experience! Would 100% recommend. Definitely want to go there again (yes already, I'm addicted) Nicole did an awesome job, her confidence and positive energy made the time go by quickly and very enjoyable.
13 May 2021 17:15
I was one of many lucky people to be tattooed by the amazing Nicole. As soon as I entered she was attentive and super amazing! She gave me options on sizes and created a tattoo design that was similar to what I wanted and super cute. The vibes were immaculate with the amazing songs and the general acceptance I have felt. Hands down the best place I have gone to get a tattoo. She was super at explaining everything and what she was doing next: Cannot wait to get more tattoos by this lovely person ️
13 May 2021 4:50
I had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from Nicole and I love it! The shop is very clean, looks cool, and overall a welcoming environment. Highly recommend!
11 May 2021 6:49
I have been tattooed by Penny twice now and she was amazing! Both of these times her apprentice Nicole (her work is amazing!) was hanging out in the shop. From the moment I first entered the shop both Penny and Nicole made me feel so welcome. Both of them were so kind, to me and to each other. It was an amazing environment to be in. I would love to go back and spend some time with these ladies!
09 May 2021 22:34
I got two tattoos done by tattoo apprentice Nicole and it was an awesome experience! She always made sure I was comfortable and explained where she was on the tattoo, it was great!
Loved the atmosphere and chatting with her. Can't wait to come back for more work:)
02 May 2021 17:21
The shop is gorgeous and the vibe is really amazing! The ladies working there are super talented, chill, supportive, professional and so much fun.

Had the BEST experience at Painfully Pretty Tattoos; I've had multiple tattoos done by Penny and I am BLOWN AWAY every time! I have so much trust in her and her tattoos always come out beautiful, extremely well done and clean work. Lacey and Nicole are also extremely talented and creative artists, the detail in their work is phenomenal! The shop is very welcoming, and such a cool, fun atmosphere. Everyone is so polite and fun to be around. As someone who doesn't like needles, everyone made me feel very relaxed and calm the whole time. The shop is kept very clean as well, very impressed. You can tell these girls really love what they do, and it shows in their work. Absolutely 1000% would recommend getting a tattoo from there, and I can't wait to get more done!
30 April 2021 17:34
Fantastic shop experience with apprentice artist Nicole! She did a wonderful job on my ghost tattoo and the good conversations kept my mind from focusing on the pain. The shop itself is gorgeous with killer art and taxidermy. Will be recommending to friends!
27 April 2021 17:28
I had a great experience with Nicole today! Everyone is so friendly and the studio is beautiful and so cozy. I was lucky to get a last minute tattoo, and Nicole was always making sure I was ok and gave me breaks if I needed them! I felt safe and relaxed and will definitely be getting more tattoos in the future!
I have no complaints, and would highly highly highly recommend coming here
Thanks so much Nicole!?
27 April 2021 11:58
I got a piece done by Penny and absolutely love it! Changed the placement and idea of it and she did amazing! I can't wait to get more done by her, and something done by Lacey.
26 April 2021 17:50
I was lucky enough to be tattooed by Nicole today came in a bit early and she altered my tattoo to my liking she and Lacey are very friendly, nice and funny definitely plan on going back in the future
24 April 2021 7:06
I got two tattoos done by Penny and they are insanely gorgeous! Constantly get compliments on them and where I got them done. She is an amazing tattoo artist! I will definitely be going back to her multiple of times! The environment is so welcoming! I was also able to meet Lacey as well, very friendly. Both girls are hilarious! Getting my tattoo done felt like a breeze and very relaxing! Tattoo shop is super clean and absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a place to get your next tattoo done, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Painfully Pretty Tattoos! You will not be disappointed!
24 April 2021 1:14
These ladies are phenomenal! I felt so comfortable walking into the new studio (which looks amazing), and I will definitely be back! Nik was thorough with explaining what she was doing and is just so fun to be around.

I first got stabbed by Penny at her previous location and was super stoked to hear that she was moving and that her besties would be joining her there! There's a lot of talent in that little space!
19 April 2021 23:02
Nicole is such an amazing apprentice her attitude, and how she told me what she was doing and going to do next really makes the client feel at ease. Plus she's a sassy gal! Highly recommend this shop! All of the ladies are so talented and the environment is warm and welcoming.

I have been tattooed by the lovely Penny twice and both tattoos are absolutely amazing! They are so detailed, beautiful and creative- she is such a talented artist! ️ I couldn’t be happier with both tattoos I’ve gotten from her! Also both times I’ve been to the shop the environment is so welcoming, professional and the girls have made it into such a beautiful space- absolutely loved being there! Penny is so much fun to talk and chat with- very easy to talk to- both experiences with her were more than enjoyable! My second appointment the lovely Nicole was also there and chatting with her and Penny was a such delight as well! ️ If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone- these girls are the best!
26 March 2021 1:37
I haven’t been to the new studio yet (hoping soon!) but I have been tattooed by Lacey and Penny and they are such amazing ladies! Very professional, they make you feel comfortable and relaxed! I would recommend them 10000%! Very talented artists ️!
22 March 2021 17:54
Was a wonderful experience! Very clean, professional and comfortable atmosphere! Tattoo turned out amazing and the conversation was great! Would gladly get tattooed again by Penny! Love her work! ️
