Pearl Harbor Gift Shop

Pearl Harbor Gift Shop tattoosPearl Harbor Gift Shop tattoos is a traditional tattoo parlor in in the heart of Kensington Market in Toronto.Walk-ins welcome every day!" I just got my first tattoo here, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and the experience I had at Pearl Harbour. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and welcoming, and there was none of the typical pretentious attitude that I've come to expect from tattoo / piercing shops. Overall, I'd really recommend this place - especially for newbies! You're nervous enough already, and you don't need to worry about someone judging you for your inexperience. You certainly won't experience anything like that here - just nice people wanting to do nice work for you."Here is a list of artists for you to work with
