After co-owning a tattoo shop in Oakville, Ontario for 5 years, Lila Way set out to open a brand new custom tattoo studio of her own, where collaboration between the client and artist is encouraged. With absolutely NO FLASH on the walls of this shop, the customer just needs to have a basic idea of what they want and an artist can bring it to fruition. All tattoos are custom drawn and one of a kind.

Opening in April of 2009, True Grit Tattoos features private procedure rooms, a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and only the best service and experience. You will leave True Grit Tattoos with an amazing piece of art that will last a life time. Besides being able to draw and tattoo any style of tattoo imaginable, the staff at True Grit are also all trained in Blood Born Pathogens, Cross Contamination and Infection Control.

Body Piercings performed at True Grit range from mild to exotic. From a basic earlobe procedure to a dermal anchor, we do it all. No matter what your preference, we will ensure you leave happy and with a well executed piercing. Our piercer also attends and volunteers at the Association of Professional Piercers (APP- www.safepiercing.org) conference annually to help further his knowledge and stay at the top of his profession.

All jewelry used at True Grit Tattoos is North American made and follows all ASTM specifications for human implant grade material. All jewelry is internally threaded, meaning no threads are pulled through your piercing. All jewelry has a high polish and mirror finish. Only the best quality is offered at True Grit. For more information on jewelry please refer to the piercing section on this web page.

We love visitors at True Grit, so stop by the shop today to talk with an artist, peruse some portfolios or just to check the place out. We promise you won't be disappointed.
