I have been a client of Bushido Tattoo for the past four years and as long as I live in Calgary will not need to go anywhere else.
Each artist at Bushido is talented and possesses a unique style of tattooing. I would trust any of them to tattoo my body. That being said, mostly all the work I have done has been by the lovely Hilary, who has a brilliant eye for detail, fine lines, and COMPLETE RADNESS. Sometimes when people stop me on the street asking where I had one of my pieces done I want to lie to them for one of two reasons:
1. They are weirdos who have only complimented my tattoos so they can show off their tribal geckos and terrible flash art to me and I would never torture the good people at Bushido by sending these people there.
2. My own selfish reason, a fear that one day Hilary will be far too booked up for me to get tattooed ever again ad that would be a shame. I'd cry, probably.
Their new(ish...2 years or so?) location is on 17th avenue down near the Elbow River Casino. It's so close to the train station that I would advise taking transit, as parking is tricky and the one time I drove some jerks did attempt to brake(EDIT: break, even) into my car. This however is not something I would ever hold any of the local businesses in the area accountable for and never discriminate against. Be prepared to book far ahead of time, as all of the artists of Bushido have been receiving the recognition they deserve and are crazy booked. Also remember to tip your artist. ;)
