I’ve had the pleasure of getting multiple pieces done here over the years, and every experience has been great. The shop is clean and welcoming, the artists are talented, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for high-quality work in a great atmosphere, I highly recommend this place!

Ryan Speiss was amazing! I came in from out of town. Unfortunately the email I sent didn't get forwarded to him but he came up with a stunning design. He was very nice, sociable but not overly talkative. He dealt with my giggles and laughter in the more ticklish areas very nicely. I had an overall wonderful experience and I will definitely be seeing him again!

My friend and I came for a girls weekend and we walked into the studio asking for a walk in, they were able to accommodate us! We had their artist Jimbow and he was amazing! His line work is super clean and he was very kind and welcoming. Kevin the reception was amazing as well, made us feel very welcome and over all very helpful. A great studio, the vibes were amazing!

Let me preface this review with, I take responsibility for my nativity in the situation and for not speaking out when I was uncomfortable and just saying “no” and walking out.
On June 3rd I went into Dynamic studios as a walk-in wanting just simple, small text on my hands that read “Let It Go” and “Be Kind”. I was met by the owner Ryan who was very friendly and told me they had a new artist available, Lucas Maccauley, to do my tattoo. I asked if his work was good and Ryan assured me he was great and that the simple text I was getting would be a breeze for the artist. I came to learn he was from my hometown and knew a lot of the same people I did. Ryan had me pick a font for a stencil, which I did, and then I waited for Lucas to come in. When he came in I showed him a reference photo for the style of tattoo I was looking for. He looked at it and said that it was a really simple tattoo. The receptionist told him that she would print a stencil for him from the font I had picked. Without even asking me, he told me he didn’t want the stencil and that he only did freehand. He didn’t even take the time to look at the font I had picked – which should have been first clue that he wasn’t an artist who was interested in what the client wanted. He had me sit down and drew with a sharpie on my hand the words. The first time around he wrote out the wrong words, without removing the sharpie he just drew overtop of the old sharpie (you could barely make out what it said) – which should have been my second clue to not get a tattoo from this studio. I looked at the sharpie and asked him if it was going to be this large; He assured me that it would not be that big and that he just wrote it that way to ensure that it was straight. He then went out for a smoke and said we would get started when he got back. When he came back I again asked if the tattoo was going to be this big and he again assured me it wouldn’t. He then got started, as he started doing the first few lines I commented again that the tattoo seemed really large and he again said that he was a professional and that I had to trust him and he knew what he was doing. At the end of the tattoo I was in shock – he asked me if I liked it and I lied and said I did. He charged me extra because he said I would have to come back for a touch up. In a daze I paid and left. I got to my car and started crying at this thing on my hand that looked like a frozen reference. (No, I didn’t ask for the dots around it)

On June 7th I contacted Ryan and told him my situation, showed him my reference tattoo and what I had received and he took complete responsibility for the situation. Here’s a direct quote from him, “Lucas is a new with us hes a great tattooer he just came from a shop that really pushed him to do volume with not as much care and ive had a big talk with him about tge extra care attention we need to give the client” and then he went on to say “we will take care of you and get it all sorted out”. It's been almost two months of me reaching out and I still have not received my promised refund.

If you want to go to a studio where they knowingly hire artists who do not listen to their clients and have no integrity with their word, then boy is this studio the studio for you. I would strongly recommend not listening to the reviews listed, as that was my inspiration for going to this studio. I believe my tattoos say enough. The fresh tattoo is what I got and the other is what I wanted.

To have a tattoo is not just simple: must have a meaningful design, reliable shop and trustable & an amazing artist. Dynamic Tattoo Shop have it all and they lived up to their reputation. It’s something you will keep on coming back to have your skin inked over and over. Whether it’s an enormous concept or a dainty, delicate design, they can create a masterpiece in your canvas skin…
All my tattoo has been delicately done by one of the talented artist i’ve know in here…
Very much recommended! Don’t hesitate if any of you wanted to have your skin inked!

Can't say enough good stuff about this place. Had most of my work done here. Great people and staff. Ryan Scarpino is an amazing artist and awesome guy to deal with. 15 years in business in downtown Kelowna speaks for it itself. Much love. ✌️
