Tattoo Emporium, one of the top tattoo shops in Barrie, our expert artists offer premier custom tattoo design services in Barrie that are as unique as the people who wear them. Our artists specialize in a wide range of tattoo styles, from realism and geometric designs to bold tribal and neo-traditional pieces.

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, we’ll collaborate with you every step of the way to ensure your vision comes to life in the most beautiful and personal way possible.

Final
Approval

Tattoo
Session(s)
Sit back, relax, and watch your idea become a wearable masterpiece. Depending on the complexity of your design, sessions may vary.
We believe that patience and collaboration lead to perfection. Our goal is not just to give you a tattoo, but to create a piece of art you’ll cherish forever.
Semi-Custom Tattoos
Sometimes, clients bring in ideas or existing designs that inspire their tattoo, but they’re looking for a personal twist. If you have an existing design or idea—whether it’s a reference image, personal sketch, or an adaptation of another tattoo—we’ll work with you to refine it into a unique piece that reflects your style and story. Semi-custom tattoos allow us to blend your vision with our expertise for a truly personalized result.
Colour or Black & Gray?
Our artists are skilled in both styles and will help you decide which option brings your ideas to life in the most impactful way.
