Awesome people. Very clean place. Thank you for talking to me and taking care of me. Thanks for the video of your place it helped me decide where to go.
Amazing atmosphere and workers. Jamie did a fantastic job on all my tattoos.
Lovely service! If you have a fear of needles or just general anxiety, this place is for you!
Jason was awesome!
Absolutely adore this place. The people there are amazing. Shout out to you all. Sam is amazing and such a sweetheart and Jason is my absolute favorite dude....got a few tats done by him. And it's always a blast. Great experiences everytime.
My 5 year old got her ears pierced here. Jeff was great! He talked directly to her and made sure she understood what was happening each step. It made her feel very comfortable and excited throughout the process. He was excellent at keeping her calm. The earrings look great, and we have one very happy little girl now :)
Great Service! We had a wonderful experience getting our piercing. Great Explanation, accurate and clean.
I got my first medium sized tattoo piece at Pushing Inc and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and all the artists and I was 10/10 impressed with my tattoo from Lisa.
Got my very first piercing here (nose). Great experience! Jeff has a very calming presence
This being my very first tattoo, Jason did a great job on mine and my 2 Sisters tattoos!! Jason did his very best at keeping me comfortable. He kept reassuring me that I was doing great! He was very thorough with explaining after care! I would definitely recommend Pushing Inc. tattoo Emporium!!
Jeff who did my piercing is AMAZING! He made me so comfortable and calm. I would recommend him to anyone in the Barrie area or anyone who may be traveling through.Thank you Jeff, you're truly an amazing person and great at your job!
Amazing experience with Jeff! We were here last year for my daughter’s 6th birthday to get her ears pierced… and it went so well, we came back for a second ear piercing for her 7th birthday. Location is clean, staff is friendly, and most importantly, Jeff made her feel comfortable and in control the whole time. He was very patient and waited until she was ready for the second one. Thanks!
Brandon very friendly and informative! Gave me the rundown on what to do after getting my first tattoo.
Great overall experience
My husband went in to get his ear pierced and it turned out that they just had to reopen it. Jeff reopened it at no charge so we just paid for the earring. Jeff was great and we would go back!

Lisa is an amazing artist and exceed my expectations every time she finished a different part of my tattoo 10/10 recommend everyone come here it’s super clean and sanitary
I just finished my 5th tattoo with Lisa Black at Pushing Inc. Like all my other completed work with her it was done with professionalism and attention to detail including line work, shading, and just the right amount of pressure for a 3+ hour session. We now have a theme of each of my arms and I'm working with her on ideas for my next one. Many thanks Lisa and I'll see you next month.

Scotty did an excellent job! Thank you
Awesome work by Andrew. Cares a lot about safety and not willing to compromise safety for savings. Really clean, nice looking shop & we even got to interact with 2 other employees who were equally as friendly as Andrew.
Jamie was amazing….thank you for such detailed work. So much care into making it a clean, sterile and safe environment. Atmosphere of the old church made it feel very homey (along with the slippers) 😊

Lisa helped me with the preparation and tips before the appointment and during with what to wear and what’s most comfortable and pain level etc. she helped me add extra details to my design to make it perfect!. She made sure I was comfortable by making sure we had a private room to ourselves so on one could see and she’s very gentle the pain was a 2/10 and I’m in love with it thanks so much and see you again soon for another!

The environment is amazing, great staff. Jason is an amazing Artist, such amazing work.
Friendly staff, very clean studio with a very chill atmosphere. The design Andrew came up with was 100x better than I was expecting. The tattoo phenomenal I will definitely be booking another tattoo.
Recently had a tattoo done by Lisa. Very professional and great job on my tattoo.
A great atmosphere, very friendly clean and comfortable environment. I can’t say enough about how amazing Jason is. He’s the artist that done my tattoo. He explains everything and is very patient and receptive to what you want. He also does amazing work that he takes pride in. A very talented artist with many years of experience. I would highly recommend this place for your next tattoo.
Clean kind place. Great people always love coming back for more ink
Got my first tattoo here! Turned out amazing and I'm soo happy about it. Jason Riedel was a source of endless entertainment the entire tattoo, only took an hour an a half
Oh my Jamie Russo is amazing. He is so professional and kind.

Pushing Inc. The staff welcomes and directs you from the moment you enter. Jeff is amazng and very professional. Fun and enjoys piercing! T
My daughters (ages 6 and 8) had their ears pierced here by Jeff. They were both feeling a little nervous, but Jeff was absolutely amazing with them! He explained everything as he was doing it, and took the time to ensure they were ready for each step of the process. Both of my daughters left feeling beautiful and confident, and with all sorts of positive words to say about their experiences!
I had a vision for this memorial tattoo, and Jamie absolutely nailed it. Amazing work and really cool spot!
Jamie helped bring my vision to life perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!
Very neat clean and organized, very professional
Pushing inc is probably the most sanitary clean tattoo shop I have been in. The staff there are extremely friendly and courteous.
I had an awesome experience. Multiple trips to finish a venus fly trap tattoo. Artist was professional and easy to talk to. Great tattoo and shop.
great place to get tatted! very friendly & professional artists
Jason is amazing!
I have had multiple tattoos done by Jamie and every one is perfection! Not only is he an amazing artist but spending a day with this crew is the beat time ever!
I’m so glad I chose this place for my piercing. They are nothing short of amazing people. Thank you again!
Jamie did an excellent Job. Great experience all around.
The atmosphere is great....very welcoming. Jason did an amazing job on my tattoo....would recommend Pushing Inc.
I had my piercing done a few weeks ago and waited to see the healing process. It turned out fantastic! I'm thrilled with the outcome. Jeff truly did an excellent job.
I always go see Jason to get all of my tattoo work done. He is absolutely amazing. I trust him with my artwork. I can tell him what I’m thinking and he does it brilliantly what I like about pushing ink is the family atmosphere and the cleanliness and the professionalism. I will not go anywhere else. I recommend them to everyone I see.
Jeff did an awesome job with my ears. Thanks so much for a great experience!
Great staff and friendly atmosphere!!!
I've had the most pleasant experience each time I have come into this beautiful studio. They have the most experienced staff, and each artist has so much talent!! You will not leave the pushing inc family without a smile! I can't thank Sin D enough for her incredible work and how talented she truly is :) I can't wait to come back!
I went three times and every time has been amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. My tattoos are amazing I love them a lot. recommend everyone I know here to get tattoos with you.
I got my tattoo at pushing inc tattoo a couple of years ago. I love my tattoo. They were friendly and very professional and I got the best tatto. They even fixed an old tatto for me . I would definitely use them again
I had an appointment at Pushing inc. back in covid time. They were genuinely prepared for the safety of everyone who came there. I was happy with Amanda who did my work, she was friendly and did an amazing job. I will be booking my next tattoo soon!
Super friendly and great piercing prices !!
Love this place everyone is so friendly and caring for their clients 100% check their work all the artists are amazing will be going back soon
Been going to Pushing Ink for years and now I have my grown up boys going too! I've recommended to friends and have heard from them that they were impressed as well. Cool environment with friendly, talented artists. If you have an idea for a tattoo you should definitely check them out 👍
This place rocks! I have never felt so comfortable, i felt right at home. I am in love with my tattoo even 3 years later and it still looks amazing! I cannot wait to finish my half sleeve and more.
Quality tattoo very friendly stuff recommended 100%
I got a tattoo of a scorpio in 2020. I was quoted online and was charged the same. Communication was great and place is very welcoming.

I have been going to Pushing Inc. for years now. From small sticker tattoos to large cover ups Jamie and the staff at Pushing Inc. don't disappoint. If you want a quality piece of art done in a profession workspace that's super clean I suggest Pushing Inc Tattoo Emporium is that spot.
Amazing shop and artists!
all Staff is amazing there , very clean environment and you see everything sanitized before you're eyes . I've gotten few tattoos there as well as my daith .
Jeff is a phenomenal piercer. I have taken both myself and my daughter for our piercings. Very thrall and informative, and will always take the time to be patient and answer any questions. HIGHLY recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Got my septum done for my 51st birthday and they were awesome. Walked me through the procedure and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend.
I have been going to Jamie for years!! Everyone at Pushinv Ink are fantastic artists and consummate professionals!! I recommend to anyone who wants great work at a great price to check them out!!!
Got a great tattoo I still love a year later. Tattoo artists are super friendly
I have been to Jeff for piercings and for jewelry changes. He is very professional, clean and makes the whole experience painless. I have brought my daughter, Mother(80 years young) & friends to Jeff and they all say the same thing. Yes we will go back!!!

I got three fine line pieces done by Jamie and I absolutely loveeee how they turned out, it’s been a couple months now and they’ve healed perfectly!!! Thank you Jamie! Will definitely be coming back for some more
I got a nose piercing here a year ago by Jeff, I absolutely love it! He helped me in the process of healing and make my experience anxiety free. If you’re wanting an awesome piercing, I’d recommend Jeff and Pushing Inc!
Went here to get my nose piercing replaced because I was having trouble with the piercing I had in it. For some reason the other place who pierced my nose used a wrong stud and it was legit stuck. They worked hard, were calm and so patient and eventually got it out. I appreciate all they did to fix not their mistake! I will go here for any piercing needs from now on!
Absolutely love my tattoos! The whole team is amazing! Great atmosphere, super clean, mad skills at this place. Jason was the artist I went with and he did not disappoint. Super talented, friendly, funny and very patient. Thanks for the great art!

My granddaughter wanted to get her ears pierced and we did not want to go to your typical shopping mall type store or hair salon, being a family that loves ink we reached out and the service provided was amazing with most she was a little intimidated about it happening once we arrived to have the service. Everyone was amazing and took the time to make sure she was very comfortable. We had no idea when we arrived what kind of earrings etc. she wanted and everyone was very patient with her, especially when the nerves kicked in lol. The information and products provided for aftercare were also very generous, and I would highly advise any parent who’s looking to have their child ears pierced, regardless of age, take them here. I also had my nose pierced here and again from start to stop. Everything was explained prior to, as the service progressed each step was explained, and the confidence and support was amazing. I was just getting ready to put my name down for a new tattoo and this would come in very handy towards the cost. Regardless, thank you so much for the work you do. Less
Loved it here. Artist was friendly and the place was spotless! Super easy to find. Two years later, my tattoo is just as beautiful as the day I got it!
Fantastic experience!!! Professional and creative!!
Staff took amazing care of my daughter when she got her ears pierced! They eased her anxiety and talked her through the whole thing, even celebrated the wins! Great job!
Got my septum pierced here great work and great people
It was a fantastic experience from the time we walked through the door til we left.Very professional,friendly and clean!! Loved it and plan on going back.
Clean, friendly, knowledgeable and professional, my experience each visit has been exemplary. There isn’t another shop that I trust more than Pushing Inc.
Kind, friendly and cleanly. These guys care about their clients. I've has work done at other places and this is the best experience I've had. I recommend them to everyone who asks.
I’ve had a new tattoos done at Pushing Ink! The staff are great, the shop is organized and clean and the art work is awesome!!
I had both of my children's ears pierced here. The gentleman that did the piercing was absolutely amazing with both of my kids. He made them feel at ease and even had one of my kids laughing as he pierced his ear. I would definitely recommend Pushing Inc. to anyone!!!
Amazing customer service and talent
Appointments are easy to make and never have to wait when I arrive, always clean. Jason worked with me on a custom design that came out amazing as well as perfected an old coverup. He made sure I was comfortable during all my sessions with him. Only place in Barrie I go when considering more ink.
First time getting a tattoo and couldn’t have asked for a better experience !! Can’t wait to go back for my second!!
Went here for my first tattoo a couple years ago and had a great time. Very welcoming and great artists
Very kind and supportive great people
I highly recommend Pushing Inc! I’ve had both a tattoo and a piercing done here and both I was very pleased with both! Everyone is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Environment is very clean and I love that it’s in an old church- gives it a very cool feel. Will definitely go here again for my future tattoos and piercings!
I had a tattoo completed last night by Lisa. As always she was amazing. This was my third visit and my 5th piece I have had done there. The staff are all friendly and remember me even after a few months. I will definitely be back!!!
Jamie did a floral tattoo on my shoulder a couple of years ago. I love it and it still looks great. I always get compliments on it. I would highly recommend Pushing Inc. Congratulations on your upcoming 35th Anniversary!
Jamie is the best, he has done all my tats. This is the only tat shop I have gone to.
The absolute best tattoo shop in the province!
From the character of the building itself to the quality of work within, this place is amazing! SinD has done several pieces for me and were perfect. All the staff make you feel at home as soon as you walk in - will be back for sure:)
Pushing Inc is an incredible tattoo studio with a really cool layout. I felt very comfortable and was extremely pleased with how my tattoo turned out! I would definitely recommend Pushing Inc for anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Only time I look forward to going to church...repeat customer of Sin D. Great experience each time!
Jamie and his amazing crew have treated me with the out most respect, they are genuine, they know how to laugh, they give amazing advice, and i only send my friends their way! Im greatful for the entire team! Also the art work...omg...amazing everytime! Thank you pushing inc for being amazing!
My son got his first tattoo here and it was a great experience. The facility was clean and the artist was fantastic!
Been to Pushing Inc. a few times now...staff have always been kind and very aware of people's health and safety. Each of the artists are incredibly talented and all take great pride in each others work!

She was amazing, fast at setting up an appointment, very understanding of everything and hygiene was number one for her and it made all of us extremely confident with the whole process. We were so happy with everything that we came back for piercings after 2 weeks and this was my first ever piercing as well. Jeff Knight was the man who pierced myself and one other. He was very reassuring of the process and was extremely clean as well. Everyone there was wonderful and took hygiene very seriously which is greatly appreciated. Overall best experience my friends and I could have hoped for and more. I would post photos of the tattoos but sadly they are on our rear ends and it would be best not to post those pics for the whole Internet to see. Less
I visited Pushing Inc to get my ears repierced. I pierced them a couple of years back but thought they closed. They were very professional and knowledgeable and managed to get them reopened. The jewelry selection was great and I appreciated that it didn’t have the butterfly back to make it more comfortable.
Great team and great service for both tattoo and piercing!

I have seen Jason at Pushing Inc a handful of times and he always completely amazes me. The shop is clean and well laid out- with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Jason is professional in his approach to the requested job and he is insanely talented. I have flown across the country to have work done and I will continue to do so…they are just that good.
Very clean and professional - helped me out with a piercing that had been done elsewhere incorrectly and it healed up perfectly after! Will definitely be returning here for piercings in the future!

thanks Jeff for being so patient and friendly. great shop to bring kids for ear piercing. clean and welcoming.
A wonderful experience with Lisa! My two sisters, a friend and I all got our tattoo’s done by her. She was so fun and extremely good! It having been my first tattoo I’m really glad that I had her. I will definitely be going back!
I got 2 tattoos from Lisa Black and I love them and the experience both times were great. She does a great job and very good with her clients Updated review I got a under boob tattoo done by Lisa Black, she gave me all the steps and preparation tips before getting it and help me feel comfortable before and during the appointment. She’s very gentle so the pain was only a 2/10 thanks again!
Jeff pierced my 10 year old son’s ears. Really clean place and he was awesome at making him feel comfortable. I highly recommend this place and it looks amazing inside!
A friend got tattoos here.
I had my first tattoo here fantastic. Relaxing, felt very confident in my artist ? I don't know why just had a feeling it would be great. My daughter and her boyfriend had the same artist. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Not happy with this place, at all. Gave my $100 deposit, as requested. Had my consultation and it’s been downhill ever since.

I’ve asked to see the artwork twice, as I don’t want to make any quick on the spot decisions. This was never an issue at any other tattoo salon I’ve been to. Not only did Sin D not bother replying, when I called the salon, I was told I’d have to pay to see it. I have never heard of this and I’ve already paid $100. They can keep it. Compared to what I was willing to spend (was going to get a full foot and a full sleeve), I figure they lost out on quite a bit of money and I paid $100 to dodge a bullet. If that’s how they treat clients before any work is done, I can’t imagine how badly they would treat them if something goes wrong. Less
Best and extremely health and safety conscious tattoo studio in Barrie!
Came for my daughter’s first tattoo! Jason was amazing, put her at ease and kept her as comfortable as possible throughout! He made sure she was 100% happy with it and was so patient with her!! Thank you so much!
Came in this week with my friend and Jeff pierced her tongue and my nipples . He was awesome , super nice and explained everything. Totally recommend this place .
Great experience with Jeff! Least painful piercing I have ever gotten. Everything was thoroughly explained to me, and Jeff was great at keeping me relaxed and at ease! Will definitely be back for the other ear piercings I have planned. Thanks Jeff!
Getting my sleeve done .very clean and professional staff .my artist lisa is very attentive and professional.
My best friends and I just got matching tattoos. We loved the design, the service, and how accommodating everyone was at Pushing Inc. to get us a spot. Sin D was amazing, and she did a beautiful job on the designs she made for the three of us! Thank you so much!
First visit today and it won’t be the last. Everyone was awesome from front desk to staff. Jeff was patient with my jewellery choice and gentle with replacement. Super clean and spacious inside! Definitely recommend!
Jason was great. Very friendly and did a great job.
I took my daughter here to get her ears pierced.

Very cool place, im so glad i chose this shop! Got my tragus done on both ears, and a second lobe piercing at the same time and i couldn't be happier with them! Jeff was soo patient with my indecisive self, and in the end they came out perfect! I will def be back for my next piercings once these heal!
As always, a friendly, informative and clean environment. Well worth the travel . Third generation for piercings !!!!
I got a tragus piercing. I’d never been in a tattoo shop before & I was blown away by the cool atmosphere. I met Jeff who took care of everything from start to finish.

Back in Nov I took my daughter to get her ears pierced for her birthday. This was her first piercing and she was excited but also nervous/anxious. Everyone put her at ease and her million and one questions were all answered patiently. She had the greatest experience and we couldn't be happier.

Couldn’t be more happy with the service here. My artist Jamie was very thorough and did a great job. If you want a place with a laid back and fun atmosphere, this is the place for you
Jeff was amazing during the process of piecing my daughters ears, and she loves them! The building is clean, shoes off at the door! The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable.

Very clean and professional with customer service and quality of tattoos.
Absolutely loved it here! I went to get my helix piercing done, Jeff was absolutely amazing really made me feel calm while getting it done and comfortable . Absolutely recommend to anyone!
Jamie was my artist! Amazing job and super friendly 1000% recommend. Definitely going back when I get another one

Such a kind person, *extremely* talented, payed close attention to my requests and detail, and was very very gentle. This was my first ever tattoo (which was quite large and on my forearm) and I genuinely felt ZERO pain. Almost felt like a tickle. Lisa was very delicate and attentive which aided in my experience 100%. My tattoo came out even better than I expected- with such crisp lines as well. She also did a tattoo for my dad and he too, is more than happy with the service and outcome. Not only amazing service, but such a welcoming staff. Such positive vibes all around!! I am truly blown away, totally in love with my tattoo, and will be visiting for many more tattoos! Start of an addiction for sure!! Thank you Lisa and Pushing Inc, you just made a new loyal client!!!! Less

Great place! Very clean and welcoming. Jason was helping me out and did an outstanding job. He really took the time to make sure that I am happy with the end result. My piece came out even better than I expected. I highly recommend Pushing Ink!
Jeff did my septum piercing and it was an amazing first piercing experience! So knowledgeable and professional and made the process super easy. Will be back for another one soon.
Jamie covered a simple line tattoo of my cardinal. With my vision and his talents, he took the time to create a beautiful cardinal. I absolutely love it!

Been here twice now for ear piercings and a nose piercing. Stellar experience with Jeff and his apprentice Ryan. Barrel of laughs 10/5 chefs kiss 🤌
Sin D was fantastic! Got my tattoos exactly the way I wanted them. Great shop !everyone was friendly,made you feel completely at ease. THANK YOU.

Everything was clean and opened in front of me to insure that everything was sterile. I am glad i chose this studio and If you come here be sure to make an appointment, its worth the 5 minute phone call! Less
Excellent establishment, even better artists!!!!!
Great people. Cool vibe in the shop. It's an old Church. We walked in just to check out the place & they were so welcoming. Lots of portfolios at the coffee table for us to look over and chillax. We watched some customers get ink. We're booking appointments after meeting them. 10/10
Came with my goddaughter (6 years) and her mother. We all got pierced by Jeff. He was so patient and professional with the little one (ears pierced) and she had a great experience. Excellent health and safety protocols and professional.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the shop and staff was very friendly with accommodating.

My husband and I came here on Saturday, for a celebratory anniversary tattoo, my one of many, hubbys 1st. Right off the bat very welcoming. I’m a mma fighter showed “scotty” that I would like The ufc Canadian fighter patch. He gave it an awesome twist. Was also very up front open honest with hubbys ideas and collaborated and came up with an amazing design. We willl be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very friendly and informative, an overall great establishment.
Jeff Knight did my nose piercing and he was awesome with me. So gentle and kind. A few months later I came back to get new jewellery and he changed my nose ring. He was professional, kind, caring and funny. A truly wonderful person. Thank you so much for making my experience fun and memorable.
Very Profesional place. Would certainly recommend 👌
Jeff did an amazing job making my 7yr old daughter feel comfortable. Both ears were done and she couldn't be happier.

Amazing place for piercing and tattoos. The staff are amazing. Highly recommend for tattoos and piercings
My mom, sister, and I all got tattoos with Sin D who did some truly exceptional water colour work! She gave us great suggestions for how to make sure our tattoos last with good clarity and we are all really pleased with the results :) Thanks Sin D!
Jeff is awesome!! He was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. He is a wealth of knowledge and has many years of experience. I highly recommend visiting Pushing Ink for all your piercing needs ☺️
Jeff was very good and explained things throughly throughout the process.
Thanks for the great tattoos. I will recommend you guys to my friends. You are the best Jason. Thanks again for the great tattoo.

Jeff was so patient and friendly with her and put her completely at ease it was a night and day experience from where we had been before. My only problem is after such a great experience I know she's going to be planning what she wants to get done next. Less
Professional, relaxed atmosphere with great artists. Will absolutely return
Such an amazing group here, who made our daughter feel like a princess getting her ears pierced. If you want the piercing done properly and not a butchered, gun-job like all the salons, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
jeff did my septum in october, he was amazing. super professional place and great quality work have had 0 issues so far with healing.

If I could give more stars, I would. After being turned down from another shop at the very last minute for my idea, I was welcomed here to discuss my dream of having my entire arm covered with flowers. Sin D was kind, receptive & also had ideas of her own which made me far more excited than i originally was & after getting a couple tiny tattoos elsewhere I knew I felt comfortable with her taking this on. She suggested the 3 day tattoo challenge & I accepted. A few weeks later, all the beautiful pieces we chose were put together bit by bit until the stencil was complete. She hand sketched out some more details & starting on my birthday (November 8th) she worked very hard for 3 days straight. I cant begin to describe how grateful and in love with my sleeve I truly am. 😍 20 hours of beautiful, colorful details, all from the top of my shoulder down past my wrist onto my hand. A perfect work of art. If you are considering getting a big colorful work of art, Sin D is highly recommended for you. Every artist in this shop Ive had the pleasure of meeting & spending lots of time watching their clients come and go, very happy with their pieces. Ive also seen plenty of happy clients come and go for their piercer, Jeff. The atmosphere is very open concept inside this old repurposed church and I really feel like family now. I will be returning for more work in the spring. Wont ever be looking elsewhere for artwork at this point. Ive found my second home. Thank you to each staff member 🙏. Thank you so much! An incredibly clean and professional business, Im blessed to have found you all. Less
Wonderful, friendly atmosphere. Jeff absolutely put this old gal getting her nostril pierced totally at ease with his sterile prep and procedures - and terrific bedside manner! We laughed a lot and I didn't even sneeze! Thank you!
Had my first tattoo by Scotty Crypt and I am blown away by it, exactly what I wanted and turned out perfectly. The whole experience from start to finish was great and looking forward to tattoo number 2 booked for November.
Everyone is super personal, I will suggest that you wear shoes that are easy on and off.
Clean and people very knowledgeable!
Both the booking process and the appointment were great experiences; Jeff did a phenomenal job with my piercings, and was very knowledgeable. Atmosphere was also very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
A friendly & comical bunch of artists. Coming back soon !
First time to this shop. My artist was Jason who did an amazing job. Shop is very clean and all the staff are very friendly. I don't believe you could wrong with choosing any artist that works in this establishment. I will most definitely be booking again. Thanks Jay for another great piece to add to my collection,.
Scotty was amazing, absolutely love the tattoos he did for us. Would recommend him to in a heartbeat!

He explained everything for my over-curious mind, and was honest about the pain level (though mine is very skewed, I could tell that for most people this would be accurate.) I have never had my nose or septum done or seen it done in person, so I can't compare it, to something else. Key points: Clean, easy to book, really cool studio. Knowledgeable, caring, and kind. Regardless of the fact I was aware there would be pain or discomfort, it was not overwhelming, and Jeff took care to double check and triple check placing before the quick procedure. He was also very personable and made me truly enjoy my Holey Experience. Thank you. I'll be back, maybe ink this time, but who know, might be dermal studs. ha-ha Less

My 6 year old daughter wanted to get her ears pierced so we came to pushing ink on a Sunday afternoon without an appointment. Jeff had a few clients ahead of us but we were welcomed to wait. Everyone there was engaging with my daughter helping her feel distracted (she was oscillating between excited and nervous) both staff and other clients. When she went in Jeff took his time to make sure everything looked perfect. He thoroughly explained the process to myself and my daughter and kept her feeling positive and excited. She is super nervous about things like shots and blood tests so I made sure she knew she could change her mind, but he kept her at ease and she got both of her ears pierced and was relaxed and so proud of herself when she got both ears done. I got a piercing myself while we were there and she didn’t really want to watch, so the other guys at the studio gladly entertained her and spoiled her with candy and little toys while I got my piercing done. There were lots of jewelry options for her to choose from and she was thrilled to come home with her sparkly pink “jewels.” Could not have been happier with the experience!! Her earrings look perfect and we came home with saline rinse, aftercare instructions, and Jeff’s contact undue if we had any questions. Less
Not only is Jeff very professional and extremely thorough but he is also such a nice guy!!! Our 6 year old got her ears pierced by Jeff and he did a fantastic job. The piercing placements are perfect and the work environment was very clean. He made our child feel comfortable while walking through the whole process and kept her laughing the entire time. We highly recommend this business!
Great bunch of people and tattoos in a church, love it. Jason made us feel welcome and did some beautiful work. We totally recommend them
Worth the wait. One of the best things you can do in an old church! 😉
I had my first tattoo here with the wonderful artist, Jason! He brought my vision of the tattoo to life, and I was very happy with the results. I did not feel nervous at all, and the sensation of the needle was not as bad as I thought. He was very informative about the after-care instructions too. He made the experience a great one!
I had a neck piece done as a memorial for my Dad. Super professional , they did an awesome job . Will recommend them to anyone who asks, and will definitely be reaching out for more work for myself.
We just went last night to have my little ones ears pierced and Jeff was absolutely amazing. She didn't even flinch. Everyone there was so great and made her feel totally comfortable. Very clean and thorough. I'll probably end up there next week to get something done myself. I definitely recommend.
Excellent place to get a tattoo, Jamie is better than anyone around the area. Highly detailed work, which is what I wanted. I highly recommend him. Got another tattoo. It was awesome work by Jamie again. Got another by Jamie, he is excellent.I have got another tattoo, I still have 1 or 2 more to go.

I had a cover up done and absolutely love my new tattoo.
Took my 5 year old in to get her ears pierced. Couldn't be happier with them. Jeff did a great job at explaining everything and keeping her happy and calm. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Thanks for a great job
A group of fantastic artists, had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back for the next tattoo
Piercer thinks he's God and doesn't care to cater to the simple folk.
I got my septum pierced by Jeff and he was amazing! He walked me through every step and made sure I was comfortable. I would definitely get another piercing here. Would recommend.
Got my daughter's ears pierced here and thought it was a great experience. Jeff was awesome and helped my daughter feel confident and comfortable. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get a child's ears pierced.
Jamie is an amazing artist and a brilliant conversationalist. Extremely clean and professional facility. A big Thank you to Jamie and the rest of the team. Keep up the great work! Cheers
I got a nostril piercing at Pushing Inc. Tattoo Emporium by the talented Jeff! He took the time to carefully pick the perfect spot and ensure I was totally comfortable. He thoroughly explained the process, what to expect and how to take care of it afterwards. I was nervous at first but Jeff made the process seem effortless. Highly Recommend this amazing shop for your next piercing!

I also inquired about getting another piercing redone and was very impressed when he said I didn't have the proper anatomy for it (instead of just piercing it and taking my money like my previous piercer). 10/10 would recommend Jeff. I will be going back to see him with all my future piercings. Less
Quality work great atmosphere
I took my 4 year old daughter to get her ears pierced by Jeff. He was so wonderful with her and explained everything he was doing so she would understand and be comfortable. This was by far the best piercing experience I have ever had.
Had a session with Jason today wonderful work and emensly entertaining great job will return in the future
Great staff, very clean and professional
Pushing Ink was awesome. My artist is Jason and he was nice, funny. Sends out like you've known him for years. And, the tattoo turned out great! Still in the healing process, but turning out great. Would recommend Jason any day of the week! Good work

I got my belly button done by Jeff. He was okay at doing the procedure and the service. But the healing process was the issue. I was told to go home with some saline solution to use everyday to keep it clean. I did for 6 months using a Qtip and the saline solution. However, I didn't know until 6 months later by a different piercing place that I wasn't supposed to use Qtips to clean it. Pushing ink told me to use Qtips and it has made the healing process a mess. I also found out that the "titanium" jewelry they gave me wasn't actually titanium because the healing process has consisted of cleaning junk out of the piercing. Which, I may add, I didn't know until 6 months later that this wasn't normal. Apparently places that sell titanium jewelry display a code that says the type of titanium it is as evidence it's real. I wasn't shown a code at Pushing Ink. I am incredibly upset and disappointed in this place because of this situation. I spent $200 for nothing. I now have to wait 3 months for my piercing to heal so I can get it repierced. I would NOT recommend going here unless you want to waste your money. I provided images of the day I got it done in March, and how it looks now. Less
Jeff was fantastic! I got my second lobe piercings done and he was professional and accomodating. Clean and sterile conditions. Thanks! :)
Jason was an amazing artist, and his coworkers are amazing to! Very good at keeping you distracted during the process
Jason made my friends 2nd tattoo a real comfortable environment, by making jokes, and distracting her from the pain. shmoo shmoo😂 now our face word
Jeff was professional, informative and friendly. Great at putting you at ease. Gives you great aftercare instructions, and a printout in case you don't have it memorized lol. Highly recommend for any piercings. He has a soft touch!
Got my second holes pierced by Jeff. He was so wonderful! He made sure I understood what was happening and that I was comfortable. It was the best piercing experience I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend :)
I went here for very first time and had a very nice experience and amazing customer service. I got nose piercing, they did awesome work.
Thank you so much for my wonderful Tattoo in memory of my beautiful Mum! Jason, it being my first tattoo, I was so nervous, but you were so friendly and calming. Your music, singing and chatting helped relax me instantly. I appreciate your amazing work. I absolutely love it! Thank you 😊!
Awesome shop, makes you feel like your at home, amazing artists
Great place! Nice people, did a wonderful job on my piercing!
Jamie is one of the most comfortable people I have ever dealt with, his Patience his time his caring and listening to what u want was outstanding I would and will recommend his tattoo abilities to any and everyone, thanks again Jamie I will be back for another real soon thanks Pushing Inc
Hanging with a best friend that I've known for like 10 years! won't let anyone but Jason to ink me! Friendly people,,, amazing art work,,, I give Pushing ink a 10 putts 10!!!!
Professional, clean and incredibly nice staff. Jeff did my daughters piercings top quality experience, and friendly environment. Highly recommend.
Got my septum yesterday by Jeff and he was fantastic! Walked me through the whole process and it was pain free. Would for sure come again. Great place :)
Very thorough, clean and professional. Even breaking lockdown I felt like the safety protocols they had were better than anywhere else I've been.
Great experience, Jeff did my ears excellent work, highly recommend!

Jeff did the piercing. The process is incredibly hygienic. I've been pierced a few times and nowhere else has ever been so in-depth with hygiene. Jeff checked and re-checked for symmetry, and then had the client approve the maker spot before the needle came anywhere near. I was/am so pleased with this whole process that I will be going back. More piercings and also tattoos. Less
Love this studio, Jamie is a true professional. I won't go anywhere else now.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jamie on 2 of my tattoos. His artistic work exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere at Pushing Inc is friendly and welcoming. Not to mention professional and exceeding infection prevention and control protocols.
Great experience. Thanks Jason! Your talents are out of this world... and not just your singing voice!
Jeff was such a pleasure to meet, and I'm so glad I got my piercing done with him after weeks of researching! He made the whole experience super comfortable and was very clean and sanitary! I definitely will be coming here again for any other piercings I'd like to get!
Great company! Very clean all around. Jeff does great piercings, really knows what he is doing. Staff is professional and personable.
Best place I’ve ever gone to. Highly recommended. Friendly and over the top clean. ! The space is very welcoming! You don’t wanna go any where else
I had a conch piercing done by Jeff and it was the best experience I have ever had! Everyone in the shop is so warm and welcoming, and everyone that passed by said hi. Jeff is very calming and extremely easy to talk to and his piercings skills are off the chart! I will 100% be returning here.
Good quality Good value Professional Clean
Great experience, left very happy with my tattoo! The staff are very nice and professional! Will be back!
Clean shop and very professional! Jeff was amazing for piercings! Look forward to more ink and piercings :) Highly recommended!
I would absolutely be back and highly recommend pushing ink for any tattoo! We had an issue where our wait for a tattoo was pushed not only by covid but other reasons beyond their control and Jaime and Dustin were very quick, professional, respectful and a pleasure to work with to resolve the issue. Thank you very much to them and the tattoo is absolutely quality and stunning workmanship!
Great work. thanks Jason for the mother and daughter tattoos.
I booked an appt on a whim for some piercings and I truly had the best experience getting pierced ever! Jeff was so kind and professional. The person working the front desk was super nice as well. Tattoo shops can be intimidating, so I just wanted to say that I had a great experience and that I highly recommend. Thanks so much!
Great place to get a tattoo or piercing very clean and professional I had a full sleeve done plus a smaller tattoo on my opposite wrist, with zero complaints. I would definitely go back to Pushing Ink for any other tattoo needs. Thanks Jamie
Great service and extremely friendly and helpful
Amazing! Very very clean, friendly and professional!
My daughter came and got her ears pierced today. I highly recommend Nic. He was amazing. He was so friendly and so calm and walked my daughter through step by step. Thank you so much Nic. Also amazing protocol with sanitation and clean-slyness.
Nic was phenomenal at doing my ten year old daughter's ears. She's waited until she was ready to have her ears done. And we are pleased with his work and his knowledge and expertise.
Pushing Inc. Tattoo Emporium is extremely clean, professionally run and is staffed with great artists.

Pushing Inc. Tattoo Emporium is extremely clean, professionally run and is staffed with great artists. First, I did my homework and research as I wanted to be able to describe and make sense out of my idea for my first tattoo. I wanted a 3-dimemsional - realism half sleeve tattoo with some colour. I made some notes as to what else I wanted included along with the type of font for the lettering. Next, I checked out as many tattoo artists that I could find and especially, if there were portfolios of their work. This process led me right to Jamie Russo. I expected that I would have to go on some sort of waiting list but was surprised to get an appointment about a month away. A lot of time was saved going back and forth with e-mails and getting the concept hammered out. The final consultation was done the day of the first appointment and Jamie came up with the final product and the second sitting a month after that completed a beautiful finished product. During the course of my time at Pushing Inc., I met with some of the staff who were all great from the time I entered until when I left. I highly recommend Pushing Inc. as a tattoo studio and Jamie Russo as an artist. Jamie delivered a tattoo that was an idea that I had thought about since July 1969 but was never able to find the right tattoo studio or the right artist. Thanks again Jamie. Bob Less

On top of their diligent cleanliness they are very strict on their covid measures which makes everything more comforting for all. This is the best place around and definitely number one in Barrie. I will be going back again soon for my next piece. Thank you Jason & Jamie! Less
Jamie and his crew will definitely look after your every need. Very professional, very experienced and extremely diligent with regards to covid-19. Excellent artists who care about what they do. I very highly recommend them. I WILL be back!

Friendly staff and very clean. Tamara is an amazing apprentice that has given me two of my newest pieces that I am absolutely in love with. She is very professional and takes the time to explain what she is doing. I will be booking with her again next week.
Many talented artists at reasonable prices Doing incredible work
Super professional, clean, high standards and great artists. Highly recommend.
Jamie was amazing! He made me feel very confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Very very pleased. :)

Just had an amazing experience with Tamara at Pushing Inc! I love my new nose piercing! Tamara was so professional, and so informative throughout the entire process. She is clearly doing something that she is very passionate about and she made the experience quick and painless. Thank you again Tarama I will absolutely be returning soon!
Had such a great experience getting my tongue piercing re done! Very clean and very professional! I’ll definitely be back to get my cover up tattoos done and my other piercing
We were there to get a second ear piercing for my daughter. Staff were very friendly. They are doing a great job following COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Nic explained everything every step of the way. It was a great experience and my daughter loves the end result.
Great place, great people. Managed to get a walk in appointment and was not disappointed, they are very professional, cleanliness is of upmost importance to them and they are serious about it. Safe, clean, and talented artists, what more could you ask for
I went to Nick for my septum piercing, a decision I kept putting off for months. When I arrived at the shop I was so nervous out of fear the piercing would be painful. Nick made me feel so comfortable and calmed me down. His gentle demeanor welcomed me and made me feel safe. I highly recommend his services, clean, friendly, safe and trustworthy!
We had the joy of hosting yoga classes for the staff of Pushing Inc. Every member was so kind, welcoming and fun to be around!!! Can't wait to see the gang back in studio soon! Kindness speaks volumes.
Great place to get a Tattoo or piercing. Atmosphere is very relaxed everyone is extreamly friendly.
I got my very first tattoo (and second) done yesterday by Amanda Hashimoto! I was scared and I told Amanda that and she was so patient and kind to me during the entire time I was there. Also the cleanliness and extra measures they are taking for the prevention of COVID-19 was absolutely impeccable!! Much like a hospital! Thank you Amanda, I will be back!
A little expensive but good service
Went here yesterday to get a double ear piercing. Extremely friendly and helpful service, Nic took the time to explain every single step of the process and was very thorough with everything. He was so good and I appreciate his help very much!! I would definetly recommend this place :)
Did a walk in and was very impressed. Autumn the cute apprentice did an awesome job on my winged 💀 tattoo. Love the spa like environment. Will be back.
Love this place ❤️ 100% recommend it !!
One of the best piercing experiences I've ever had. Nic was very professional and super friendly. All staff made the whole experience easy and great. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking to get pierced or ink.
Friendly knowledgable, great atmosphere
Nic was very kind and thorough through every step of my daughter's nose piercing. Very professional and patient! Tamara was also very helpful and pleasant before and after the procedure. We had a great experience! Good atmosphere, they made us feel welcome, well informed and at ease. Thanks again guys!
I have several piercings from several different shops and this was the most incredible piercing experience I've ever had. Nic did a wonderful job explaining the jewelry and procedure. I would definitely reccomend this place to anyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Absolutely thrilled with the entire experience, will definitely be coming back.

I put complete faith in Jamie's ability and just let him do his thing and could not be happier with the results. The atmosphere at pushing ink is so welcoming I was more Than comfortable bring my three children in to see the process. Two of them even got their ear pierced while they were there by Nick. Nick was very patient taking time to answere every question that comes to mind of an 8 and 9 year old at the same time keeping them calm and comfortable. I have been to many studios and pushing ink has been one of the best experiences I've had. I had my work done by Jaime but from where I was sitting I could see a tremendous amount of talent in what the other artists were creating. Thanks everyone and I will be back again. Less
Awesome staff! Awesome work! Very thrilled with the addition to my original tattoo!

The apprentice Autumn is going to be incredible, do yourself a favour and get in on some of the discounted flash sales while you can, it won't last long. These are the artists I've been fortunate enough to have an ink session with. Much love guys! Less
went in today and got a tattoo from jason. very nice people. 100% will be going back here for my next. thank you
Sin D is such a fantastic artist! I got my favorite piece from her earlier this year and it didn't need to be touched up at all! She always makes sure you love the design of your tattoo and is more than happy to make changes to it! I can see myself coming back to her for a long time!
Sin D is an incredibly talented artist, on any canvas she gets her hands on. Her touch is very light unlike a lot of other artists i've had and she never disappoints when given the reins with colour or placement, etc. Shes super easy going and fun to be around 10/10
Sin D is an amazing artist. She created a beautiful tattoo for me putting together my random thoughts and ideas. I receive compliments on my tattoo all the time. It was so perfect that it left me speechless.
Sin D is amazing! I got my first tattoo a year and a half ago and fell in love with her details and watercolours.

This shop is amazing....we walked in on Tuesday with no appointment hoping for some help to bring our visions to life and let me tell you these guys nailed it!!!! My husband was teamed up with Scotty and I was teamed up with Jason. Scotty helped my husband and fine tuned his design into something very meaningful and accurate. He knew what my husbands vision was and worked well within it. He went from having a very busy and cluttered piece to a piece of art and made my husband feel completely at ease for his first tattoo and even tattooed it right on the spot with no appointment. Jason took a picture that I took in of my dads old horse I wanted just the head and he designed a tattoo for me as a memorial piece. Then booked me in for yesterday. I look at the piece and it brings tears to my eyes now. Tears of joy!!!! It makes an amazing and awesome memorial tattoo for my dad. He brought it to life!!!! He also fixed up and added onto an old tattoo from 20 years ago which has never looked so good. All of them in this shop are awesome and very friendly. I went for 3 consults at other studios and didn't feel the connection till I went to this one....will definitely be back for more works of art!

Originally went to see Vishal when my belly ring was acting up, he was super helpful and put a new bar in it and it hasn’t bothered me since.

Originally went to see Vishal when my belly ring was acting up, he was super helpful and put a new bar in it and it hasn’t bothered me since. Today I went to Vishal to get my septum done, I was incredibly nervous as I had my septum done at another shop a few years prior and the experience was horrible, and the piercing had to be removed. Vishal knew I was nervous and explained the whole procedure to me and checked if my anatomy was right for the piercing. I have never seen a piercer pay so much attention to not only the client but also to cleanliness and sanitization. He made sure I was comfortable and the whole appointment was a breeze. Easiest piercing I’ve ever had done. I will only go to Vishal for any future piercings. Less
The Pushing Inc team are great. The environment is clean,comfortable and inviting. If you are looking for a place to guide you in the right direction for your next tattoo I would recommend checking out Pushing Inc in the south end of Barrie. 2 👍🏻 up
Great place to go get QUALITY work done in both tattoos and piercings. The atmosphere is comforting, relaxing and the fact that it's located in an old church makes you feel like you've found a hidden corner of the city. Everyone here is super knowledge and prides themselves on their education and accomplishments in the tattoo/piercing industry
Can't say enough good things about Vishal for piercings at Pushing Inc! I saw him a few months ago to get my ears pierced for the second time and I was very happy with his professionalism.

He made the entire experience very personal, professional and fun! Vishal took the time to walk me through the entire process, he explained the jewellery (which he designs by the way!) and how the everything works. I was very impressed with just how much time and effort he clearly invests into his work. If anyone has a passion for piercing, it's Vishal. You will not be disappointed if you choose him! Very clean and sterile and just an overall better experience than you'll get going to Claire's or a salon for your piercing! Less

Came in and saw Vishal to get the second holes done in my ears. I could not have asked for a better experience! Vishal is very outgoing and makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. He went through the entire process before actually setting up to do the piercing. He explained about what he would do, how he was going to do it and then gave me a bit of time before making a final decision. He ensured that I saw how everything was completely sterile and new, and was very professional about the piercings. Once the piercings were done, he went over the after care instructions in detail and ensured I was all clear on everything before I paid and booked my follow up appointment. The follow up appointment really shocked me as it’s taking the extra little step to ensure that your clients are well cared for. Very very happy with the work Vishal and the rest of the team do! Highly recommended over getting your piercings done at Claire’s or a beauty salon. Less
Thank You so much for the amazing work done on my Gargoyle Tattoo coverup. I am grateful for the artist who started my tattoo and to Jamie for finishing it for me. I love it and would recommend Pushing inc to anyone looking for a tattoo. All staff were courteous and respectful during the process and the art speaks for itself.
Pushing Inc. Is absolutely incredible. The staff is so friendly and efficient. Their work is remarkable and unique. Go in for your tat today, for a consultation, for a piercing, whatever you need.
Vishal is amazing! He has created an amazing project with both of my ears and soon to expand to other piercings. He has always made me feel comfortable and confident in my jewelry selection. He cares and takes the time to explain cleaning healing and the “what if’s” he uses your body anatomy so he can compliment you with proper placement.

heyy everyone! im a repeat customer at pushing inc, everyone there is super awesome and friendly! i went in too see vishal about getting my daith pierced and what an amazing job he did! i absolutely love it and cant wait to get my next piercing there from vishal soon!
Had a tattoo done by Jamie on my back. The man is a gentleman and a great artist. Great vibe from the whole crew and was made to feel really welcome. looking forward to the next one. I would not hesitate to recommend Pushing inc to anyone.
Amanda did an absolutely incredible job on my tattoo. My experience was simply amazing as well. I felt comfortable during the process and enjoyed talking with Dustin, Vishal and Jamie as well during my time there which was very beneficial in helping keep my anxiety down. Would give 6 out of 5 stars if possible!
Jamie is amazing at what he dose :)

Not only did he do a great job on explaining what the procedure would consist of he also took the time to explain all tools that he would be using and his setup was awesome. He made sure that I was comfortable with everything he would be doing and made sure to keep me talking and laughing. Definitely will be going here from now on, and will recommend to everyone I know. Truly was a amazing experience and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Less
Vishal was amazing. Very easy going and relaxing. Shop banter was a great distraction. Highly recommend.
Went in as a walk-in with my sister in law and niece to get matching nose piercings. Vishal helped them out that day.

Had a cover up done last week by Jamie AMAZING work his drawing was exactly what i wanted his personal touches and artistic imput helped me get the perfect tatoo not a hint of previous tattoo...not only is he extremely knowledgeable, keeps a very sterile shop ,his level of patience is outstanding i must have changed my placement 4 times and he just replaced it until i decided.
Perry was great when I seen him.
Jamie did a great job and everyone is pleasant. Will be back.
I had a Daith piercing done by Vishal, I highly recommend him if you are thinking of a piercing! Getting pierced or tattooed in an old church is awesome and everyone was so professional but fun and easygoing as well....2 thumbs up!

Jamie has been tattooing me for years and I trust him implicitly. He is amazing and I love how clean and professional the studio is.
Great experience at Pushing Inc. Jamie Russo is a master. He covered 2 of my old tattoos and its impossible to see any signs of them under the new work. The rest of the crew at the studio are talented and friendly. The whole environment is an experience not just a tattoo appointment.We highly recommend this place.
Vishal did an absolutely wonderful job on my industrial. Not only did the end result look amazing and completely compliment my look, but he helped me set up a plan, ensured I wasn't feeling nauseous, and even helped me create a full look for both my ears.

The workers had a perfect balance of professional, informative and playful while also making you feel at ease, especially for someone who gets very sick/dizzy at the thought of needles! Would definitely recommend! Less
Got two new piercings! Vishal made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. Planning another piercing!
Vishal is an amazing piercer ! Love how he went through every option with me, he is very dedicated to his work and you don’t find that at other piercing shops. I definitely recommend seeing him! The atmosphere at pushing inc is amazing everyone is awesome there!
Awesome experience with Jamie and the crew at Pushing Inc. Had a blast in a fun and enjoyable environment , where everyone is like a big family. Thanks for the great work!! Look forward to seeing you all again real soon!!

I am turning 50 at the end of the month and I decided to get a helix piercing. My husband went with me as I had not had a piercing since I was seven. We were greeted by an awesome man named Vishal. Vishal spent so much time with us explaining the jewelry that they use which is the highest grade possible by the way and continued to make me so comfortable with what he was about to put into my ear. Vishal is probably one of the most upbeat fun guys ever. When he was doing the piercing he explained every step he was about to take before he did it again putting me right at ease. I have heard that a helix piercing is one of the most painful of piercing but actually it wasn't that painful at all and I believe that is due to Vishal's experience and approach. After my piercing was completed Vishal went through the cleaning and maintenance process thoroughly and answered any questions I had. I did not feel rushed at all during any point of my experience. All in all, I would TOTALLY recommend Vishal at Pushing Inc. for your next and every piercing. He would be PERFECT for your child's first piercing as well. He is a lot of fun while making sure he does his job wonderfully! GREAT JOB VISHAL!! Less
Great environment and the people who work there are very customer oriented
I got my young daughter's ears pierced and Vishal was great. Very helpful and very informative
I got my belly button pierced for my 16th by Vishal, he was very professional and sterilized the needle in front of me, he was incredible with helping me through my anxiousness about this. I would definitely recommend pushing inc, it's an incredible place with friendly staff
took my daughter to get her navel pierced for her 16th birthday, the staff were very friendly and helpful and are extremely knowledgeable about their craft. they have an amazing knack for putting any fears, tension or worry completely out of your mind. wonderful sense of humour. definitely recommend. 10/10
A great experience. Thanks.
Had a great experience, getting my 1st tattoo. Thank you Amanda

Vish was awesome , super pro piercing artist with great sense of humor. My niece had a great experience with her newest piercing . Extremely detailed information and full on personal approach to body type specify piercings . All instruments 100 % sterile ( as a health care professional I recommend this be a must ). I will be back to have Amanda work her tattoo magic on me soon .
Best tattoo and piercing in all of Barrie!

If you are looking to get pierced look no further. Vishal is the best ! Less
Excellent process and information from beginning to end. Amanda was very responsive to my ideas and turned them into tattoos that work for me. All of the staff were very professional and friendly. The facility was spotless. Highly recommended.

Very talented artists,really easy to get along with and really funny. Jamie did an awesome re work for me will for sure get more done by pushing inc.
Was up in the Barrie area and wanted to get my first tattoo on Canada Day. Decided to go with Pushing Ink and definitely a great choice. Jamie designed my tattoo just as I wanted. This being all new to me he made me feel very comfortable. Must mention how much care they take in making sure everything is hygienic and very throughly cleaned! Thank you again will definitely recommend !
Had my first tattoo done by amanda she did an amazing job customizing it to the way I wanted it looks amazing and would recommend them to anyone :)
I came in a with an idea that needed modification and Jaime was extremely helpful in creating something that matched exactly what I wanted; in addition he was very thorough answering the questions I had. I would definitely recommend Pushing Inc, and return there in the future.

It’s always a pleasure going into Pushing inc. I stopped in yesterday for a helix piercing with Vishal. He did an amazing job!! Couldn’t be happier. Everyone is so welcoming. I went to Jamie about a year ago for a cover up and was absolutely thrilled with the awesome job he did. Thanks guys �

The vibe in the shop was a very friendly, professional and comfortable atmosphere. I absolutely recommend your next tattoo to be done here, I know I will definitely be back. :)
Good quality and clean
I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of both Amanda and Jamie. I had two tattoos done in a two week period. Both have personal meaning. Amanda did a fantastic job. My second was a little tricky, but she nailed it! I learned that it isn't easy to put your ideas in your head onto your skin. Lol. Thank you for your time and patience.
Awesome studio and Jamie is an amazing artist. Absolutely love my tattoo and look forward to finishing it and covering my other arm.
Amazing customer service! Walked in the door and was immediately greeted! Amanda was so patient and took the time to make sure my piece was unique and to my liking.

I had a wonderful experience at Pushin Ink. Amanda was awesome and gave me a beautiful tattoo that I knew was meant to be mine the moment I saw it. Jamie was great to talk to, I enjoyed every moment of my visit there. I can not say enough about them, but I can definitely say I will be back!
Excellent work and service!
Thank you Jamie for being apart of our family adventure of a family tattoo with me and my girls. You are an incredible artist and always upbeat and caring of your clients. We've known each other for years and it's great to finally get a piece of art from you!
Amanda did an awesome job. Thank you so much for my lotus flower. Love it.
My daughter just got her first tattoo(s) she had a bit of anxiety going in (she has germ issues) and Amanda made her feel so comfortable. She walked my daughter through the whole process and made sure she was on every step of the way. I will recommend this place to everyone.
Another satisfied customer here, Jamie did an amazing job with my tattoo. He understood perfectly what I wanted and made it even better than I imagined. Very professional, very calm, and very clean.

I've had five tattoos from Pushing Inc, all done by the very talented Jamie. It's a clean respectable place and just the nicest person to spend the time with. Very talented, Very clean, and Very knowledgeable, defiantly should be at the top of your list when looking for a tattoo
Jamie is an amazing artist and have watched him develop his talent for over 20 yrs. Pushing Inc is not only the oldest studio in Barrie ,it was also the leader in changing health regulations across Simcoe, and prides itself on its care and attention to client safety. To top it off Jamie is a really nice guy. I highly recommend Pushing Inc and cant wait to get in to see Jamie this spring.
Jamie is an amazing very talented tattoo artist. We have known him for a lot of years and his passion for this art shows in all his amazing jobs! Actually due for some ink and I trust his expertise to work on mine.

He created such an Art that I am getting compliment on it daily. My son went to Jamie for his tattoo as well. Then I thought I need a logo for my business. Who's best to draw something who gets me and can figure it out from 15 pictures and put them all together into one amazing art. I got my logo from Jamie and I will have that tattooed on me soon. I highly, highly recommend Jamie and Pushing Inc and have been in the past couple of years. You won't be disappointed. Less
Had a great experience with Jamie from Pushing Inc as my tattoo artist. I came with the idea and he ran with it. Loved the design and the finished artwork. Well, still have more work needed by back pieces are like that. Loved his work so much that when my son was ready for his first tattoo I sent him to Jamie.

I definitely recommend Jamie as an incredible tattoo artist and a man focused on customer service. Always super clean and professional. I can't wait for my next Pushing Inc piece!!
