Whether you’re a first-timer or a well-inked tattoo enthusiast, Calgary has some serious skin scribes who’ll decorate your physique with wild and wonderful works of body art.
Former Bushido Tattoo artists James Jacobs and Trevor Varem operate this cozy parlour, and have brought fellow skinscribe Kevin Johnson on board as the shop’s third tattoo artist. The shop offers tattooing and tattoo cover-up services.
Like some sort of exotic museum, the Bushido Tattoo studio is decorated with an exotic and eclectic array of tiki-themed objects and ephemera as well as an imposing taxidermied water buffalo head. Bushido charges by the hour.
Located at Corwchild Trail and 53rd Street Northwest, in addition to tattooing, Strange World Tattoo offers expert piercing services. The shop’s artists have won numerous industry awards for their accomplished tattoo artistry.
Mission Tattoo Parlour specializes in custom tattoos. The shop also employs a cosmetic tattoo artist. Open seven days a week with late hours, you can collaborate with the shop’s artists to create personal and unique tattoos.
