Pravda Tattoo Parlour
Pravda Tattoo Parlour has evolved from its roots as a dedicated tattoo shop into a broader studio and spa concept, yet it remains a staple of the Bloordale Village scene. Located just steps from Lansdowne station, it has long been recognized for its focus on American traditional designs, often featuring an impressive, rotating display of flash pieces in the window that catch the eye of anyone walking down Bloor. The atmosphere is intimate and private, moving away from the chaotic, high-traffic feel of larger, commercial studios. It is a space that prioritizes a comfortable, accountable environment for its clients, making it a reliable choice if you are looking for a more personalized, focused experience rather than a quick, assembly-line tattoo.
For a first-timer, the best approach is to browse their flash or come prepared with a clear idea, as the artists here excel at clean, bold traditional work. Since the business has expanded into a full studio and spa, you will find a wide range of services beyond just ink, including permanent makeup, brow services, and various skin treatments. Prices for tattoos start at $100, but expect that to scale based on the complexity and size of your piece. Appointments are the standard here, and you should definitely book ahead through their website to secure a spot. Keep in mind their strict cancellation policy—they require at least 24 hours' notice, or you will be on the hook for 50% of the service cost, so be certain of your timing before committing.
