What we can verify about Laval
Laval has 450,629 people. We are 4.1 kilometers away and downtown Montreal is 17.4, which means every one of those 450,629 people is nearer to us than to downtown.
Laval is one of twelve municipalities we serve that are closer to here than to downtown. Together they hold 1,017,269 people. These are straight-line distances between OpenStreetMap coordinates, and the populations come from Wikidata. Both can be checked.
Why that matters for a piercing rather than as a statistic: the map in people's heads puts Laval across a border, so it drops off the list before the list is made. People in Laval think of downtown by default. For most of them that is the longer journey.
What this page will not do is tell you about Laval. We pierce ears, we are not a tourist board, and a page about a town's parks and restaurants written by people who do not live there would be filler. The two facts above are the ones we can verify and the ones that change your decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the population of Laval?
450,629 people, from Wikidata. We name the source because a number without one is not a fact.
Are you genuinely closer than downtown from Laval?
Yes. 4.1 kilometers to us against 17.4 to downtown, straight line, measured between the same two points.
How many people in the region are closer to you than to downtown?
1,017,269, across twelve municipalities. Three others we serve are closer to downtown, and they say so on their own pages.
Why does nobody know this?
Because Laval reads as another city. Crossing the Riviere des Prairies feels like leaving the region, when it is often the shorter trip.
Where did these numbers come from?
Populations from Wikidata, coordinates from OpenStreetMap, our address from the studio's own records, and the distance calculated great-circle. No driving times, because we have not measured any.
Does this change what I should have done?
No. Anatomy decides what is possible, not geography. Seventeen of our thirty placements depend on how you are built, and that is settled by looking at you.
Is there a studio closer to me?
Probably, and if it pierces with a single-use sterile needle, looks at your anatomy before agreeing, and gives you the real healing times, use it. We would rather say so.
Do you travel?
No, we pierce at the studio only. Unit J012A, inside CF Carrefour Laval.
