The Best Calgary Tattoo Shops

I got my first tattoo done with Alex back in 2022 and it was a seamless and an amazing experience. I went back to her last week and she nailed my designs. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone!

Huge shout out to Doug! He’s an experienced free hand piercing artist with many years of experience behind him. Extremely down to earth human being. If you have any questions or concerns about any piercings I highly recommend contacting him.

Karrie did a absolutely fantastic job. Decent sized calf tattoo done in about two hours. Very accommodating to any request and absolutely worth the price!

Awesome shop! Mason is so great, i have 3 tattoos from him so far. Both my kids have also been tattooed by him. The shop has a very cool old school tattoo vibe.

Beautiful place and professional staff! Cody did a great job! The result was even more beautiful than what I had in mind.

I’ve gotten a couple of tattoos from Garret now and every time is a 12/10 experience. An amazing artist! Everyone in the shop is super friendly and welcoming, very comfortable environment. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Came in for an appointment with Magda, and she is absolutely amazing. So friendly and fun to deal with! I’m absolutely obsessed with my tattoo and have already booked for another one from her ❤️❤️❤️

Chris at Mammoth Tattoo is a talented artist that really listens to his clients. He sat with me for a planning session and came up with a design beyond my wildest dreams. I can’t wait to work with him again!

I just got my first tattoo and Im so sooo happy that I got it done here! Denmar was so welcoming and he did such a neat job. Very professional too. Will definitely be back here for more tattoos:) Thank you po ulit 🥰

Literally the best place for getting a tattoo! Everyone makes sure that I’m comfortable and all. Very clean place and amazing talented artists! I got so many compliments on my forearm dragon tattoo done by kuya Daniel! Ever since I found this shop, I’ve been coming back to get some more. Got a back tattoo, a mini friendship tattoo with my besties, and gum ball tattoo done with another group of friends! Can’t wait to add some more soon! Thank you for the amazing work 3 lines tattoo♥️♥️

I have a handful tattoos, but had my first dot tattoo was done by Kyja. She was great and made sure I was always comfortable. From start to finish. She made sure the tattoo size & placement was exactly where I wanted and was happy with. She would pause time to time to ask how I was doing. I definitely recommend this shop. Very friendly and welcoming.

Had a walk in tattoo here by Serg. I love it, very clean, professional and awesome price! Will stop again when I’m in Calgary 🙂

I had an amazing experience Stephanie was so kind and sweet! I absolutely love the work she did and how she cares about the client and not just the sale! I will definitely be going back to her again☺️

Stephanie is super friendly. I went to her for my tattoo and she made me feel super comfortable and made sure that I was good with the design/placement/size. She also let me know what she was doing as she was tattooing. I 100% would recommend and I will for sure be going back.

Had a bestfriend tattoo with Syd yesterday and was really blown out ot the water by the experience. She was so attentive to what we wanted, and so knowledgeable on what would look nice and where. When i asked her opinion on things she gave it and gave explanations on why she thought (so educated on the art of it) but was never pushy on her preferences being greater than mine. The actual service was awesome. So easy going and direct. The tattoo itself was even better than i imagined as she gave feedback i didnt think of and it turned out great!! Also hurt significantly less than my previous tattoo. It was my friends first tattoo and she made the experience so great as she was so patient. Cannot recommend her enough.

I have gotten several tattoos from Sydney now, and she does an amazing job! The whole studio is very clean and welcoming, I definitely recommend.

I got a full sleeve tattoo done by Ciara at Bushido. I am impressed with the final result and the entire process. I had many questions along the way and ideas about the direction of the sleeve. Ciara was patient and more than willing to answer my questions and I could tell throughout the entire time that she really wanted me to be happy with the final product. She listened very well to my ideas and gave good advice on whether any suggestions I had would likely work well. The design was thoughtful and exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Ciara from bushido tattoo.

Been coming here for about 5 years working on my body suit. After a few years of planning I finally began it with Doug. Nothing but good vibes and pleasant experiences in a great environment. Highly recommended the artists here, do your homework and pick whoever suits you. Erin out front is super friendly and ready to lend a hand. Good luck!

This shop is amazing. It’s very clean and has such a great atmosphere. I have had Keith do 2 tattoos for me now and have a 3rd already booked.

First tattoo was a large color piece that Keith stayed way late to work on. This piece has healed wonderfully and retained its color nicely.

Today I had solid black writing done on my hands. It’s prefect nothing out of place or a line liter then another I love it.

The whole team is great everyone there helps out and the tattoo is a team idea. I like how everyone all brain storms even with the client. It’s awesome when a whole team is just as excited about your tattoo as you are.

I haven’t had anyone but Keith put ink on me yet but that because he did such an amazing job I’ve requested him each time.

Can’t say enough good things about this team. You won’t regret coming here.

I love Ryan. Had 3 tattoos done with him and all of them are stupid good. He’s professional, friendly and gives really good advice. I would 10/10 recommend him. All tattoos have healed well. Very good with communicating, which is rare to find these days. He makes sure you’re comfortable and all tattoos were done quickly, gently and compassionately. I’m planning my next one already and looking forward to it. Thank you so much!

I absolutely love this shop, not only are the artists friendly but also super talented. Jade aka j.nastee has done a few tattoos on me now and I can’t say enough good things! Incredibly talented, great attention to detail, extremely welcoming and creates beautiful pieces you will always love. I got her to do a very meaningful tattoo on me to cover old scars and she made me so comfortable and helped make the process a moment I won’t forget. 10/10 would recommend her and flip side to a friend

I’m from Vancouver Island and looked for the right artist all over, I kept coming back to flipside and a quick call to Larkin had me sure I knew where I was coming for my sleeve. We worked remotely on designing the tattoo and he was prompt to message me, listened to the details and came up with exactly what I was after. We completed an entire sleeve in the matter of 5 weeks with only 2 flights back to Calgary. There shop is extremely clean, staff is friendly and the quality of work from all artists was astounding. Definitely coming back and love the work, thanks again!
