New Tribe Tattoo + Piercing

New Tribe has been on Queen West since 1994 : second floor at 232a Queen Street West, across from the old MuchMusic block, open seven days noon to 7 p.m. and closed on stat holidays. Official shop-info copy still pitches a large, mixed-style floor: flash or custom, American traditional, Japanese, portraits, watercolour, plus three professional piercers (Fae, Kaay, Stacy) and tattooers including Mark Storey, Nate Long, Danika, Faith, Addy, and Aaron. Phone (416) 977-2786, email newtribetoronto@gmail.com. You can book a tattoo quote or a piercing through the site; walk-up energy is part of the Queen West identity, but a booked artist is the smarter first-timer move for anything larger than flash. First-timers: this is a high-volume, long-running shop, not a boutique two-chair room. Read the aftercare and waiver pages before you go, and do not treat it as a same-day portrait mill.
