I have been tattooed in Edmonton, Atlanta, Georgia and finally Toronto - this has been my best experience yet!
After being quoted an expensive price for my 3 word tattoo, I happened to stop by Sal's on a hunch, as my friend had recommended them previously. Greg greeted me once I walked in. The place has a barber chair at the front and it put me off guard at first. Once you move towards the back you see the tattoo paraphernalia. I asked Greg about finger tattoos and he vehemently told me why he was against them (he was the third artist to do so) which was fine. I instead decided on another spot. He went to work right away and designed the tattoo free-hand. I told him I was looking for a more specific font. We looked online and when i showed him what I wanted, he re-designed the tattoo free-hand once again.
Greg mentioned he had an appointment coming in but since they were late, he said he could fit me in!
Greg did a GREAT tattoo on me maybe 10-15 min later. I was shocked! He charged me $80 cash and refused my hefty tip. The shop I was at previously wanted to charge $130 and cited the area was a tricky one (under my right breast).
I am SO glad I came here and I will make sure to return to get any other tattoo while in Canada.
