If you want a clean, professional environment with experienced artists and great customer service, go to Exotix.
I've been to Exotix for a tattoo and for jewelry. I've been treated with great respect every time.
My tattoo turned out excellent. The artist worked with what I had in mind but made great recommendations to improve the flow of art on my arm to better suit my frame.
The jewelry is fantastic. Even in Toronto, I have trouble finding plugs that are both large enough to fit my preferred ear size and that aren't tacky. I absolutely love the Tawapa jewelry. It is custom made out of country so be patient with the artists who craft them, but the result is well worth the wait. Absolutely top notch jewelry and no one else around here has it.
All around - great place. Glad I found it!
