Thrive Studios was founded in October 2005 by Jesse Villemaire. With the experience of working and co-owning a previous tattoo studio (Eternal Body Art) Jesse decided to take a new approach within the body art industry. His vision was to create a quality tattoo and body piercing
studio with advanced sterilization techniques, in a comfortable and SAFE
environment.
Since our arrival in 2005
we have already surpassed the expectations of many, including
ourselves! Some of our highlights over the past few years
include; helping to raise over $20,000 for breast cancer research,
being a major sponsor for Rock The Mill, guest speaking at numerous
high schools and the regional Health Board committee, attending
multiple safety/learning seminars and conventions across North
America. We've been featured on the radio, magazines, films,
newspapers including the New York Times!
We have recently doubled in size by adding a private second floor loft
space for strictly tattooing. We've also expanded our main lobby
allowing more room for clients and expanding our extensive jewellery
selection. Also our piercing room has gained some extra square footage
including new 9 foot ceilings throughout the main floor with original
tin ceilings from the early 1900's!

As you walk through our doors you will be greeted by our extremely knowledgeable staff Donna and Laura. They have been exceeding our client's expectations with customer service since day one. Be sure to schedule enough time to browse through the thousands of tattoo designs in our books and also in our easy to navigate computer system. We also offer free consultations to help design your perfect tattoo. We are here to help in any way; even if you have received tattoos or piercings elsewhere we will gladly answer any of your questions or concerns.
We're also excited to be Voted BEST Tattoo and Piercing Studio 2006 - 2011
by the Cambridge Times Readers Choice Awards! Since the beginning our
focus has been to break down the stereotypical "tattoo parlor" image.
Thrive succeeds with this vision as we offer quality body art and the
highest sterilization standards, in a relaxed and comfortable
atmosphere. Our professional and educational approach will leave you
with a whole new outlook of the body art industry.
Thrive offers more than just tattoos and piercings; we also carry Gift
Cards available in any denomination and a large selection of body
jewellery. We can custom order from many different suppliers worldwide
at no additional charge. You can order anything from basic earrings to
the most elegant of gold body jewellery.
