When choosing tattoo shops in Calgary there are for sure a lot of different artists to turn too. My recommendation is that you go to the Arthouse and be tattooed by Katina Scheffler. She is a wonderful artist who I received my first and second tattoos from. They were 100% what I wanted and she gave me great recommendations on places I could put them that would minimize fading and stretching. Other staff is friendly and knowledgable and it's a highly clean environment.
