WE’LL MAKE YOU
The Tell Tale Heart is a one-of-a-kind custom tattoo studio located in downtown Oakville, Ontario.
“The best tattoo shop in Oakville!” – Andrew Robb. Opened in March 2016, THE TELL TALE HEART takes its name from the famous Edgar Allan Poe short story, and is the culmination of the founders’ combined lifelong passions for tattooing, film, art and literature. All of our spectacular artists are by appointment only and usually booked at least few months out, but we also accept “phone-ins” subject to artist availability. Please call us to see if we have someone available for small to medium same day tattoos. Subscribe to our mailing list to receive announcements about our special events! (Sorry, we do not do piercing.) We are located at 133 Kerr St in downtown Oakville, just a few steps from Lakeshore. There is ample free parking behind our building, so pay us a visit and see why we keep getting voted BEST TATTOO STUDIO every year!
They were the best tattoo studio in Burlington, now they are the best tattoo studio in Oakville!

This place is awesome! The music, conversation and artwork is stimulating. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. As a nurse I'll gladly attest that this shop's tattooists are hyper-clean! You won't get a bad tattoo here. Recommend!

Simply put this is the best tattoo studio around. From the first meeting at the door by Moe to the artwork on the walls you just feel at home and a part of the family. Sinead did amazing work on myself and the work I saw the other artist doing was fantastic.

Was my second tattoo and the experience was second to none. I will be back when I get my next one done. I felt welcomed from the minute I walked in and all of the staff conversed with me and my wife....they even put IRON MAIDEN on the stereo...my favorite music on while I was getting it done. Amazing shop and I highly recommend it. I live two hours away and I will drive it again.
