I'm writing this review for Natalia.(@Blackstarbaby tattoo)…read more I have an extensive history with being tattooed, and Natalia is by far the friendliest, most interesting, and DEFINITELY the most unique artist that I've ever met. She gave me a chupa chups lolli while I layed there luxuriously and chatted with her about anything and everything. She's skilled in most styles, and her portfolio is incredible. She's also incredibly friendly and warm. Perfect Image is a great studio. Very clean and professional- but it's the artists that count. If you want to be tattooed in Banff, I hope you are lucky enough to be tattooed by Natalia!!

So on a whim, my friend and I decided to get tattoos to commemorate our vacation (cheesey? Maybe,…read moredon't hate) while we were visiting Banff. This shop was recommended by a local, and not too far away from where we were. I was skeptical because the website looked like it hadn't been updated in a while and I really couldn't find much info online. Usually for tattoos I do extensive research! To be fair, we had a design picked out and it was some fairly simple line work. We did try to call ahead for an appointment, but didn't have any luck reaching anyone. Crossing our fingers, we went ahead and drove over to the shop to attempt a walk in. There was a sign on the door for walk-ins to call, which we did (immediately answered) and Don came right out to talk to us! The shop itself is full of art, it's clean and orderly without looking too hospital-ish. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. They do have a 160 CAD minimum, FYI! Also, cash only so we (and by we, I mean my friend) had to go try and find an ATM. We each had a small tattoo done (I think the set up time took longer than the actual tattoo). Very pleased with the cleanliness and work. Tattoos are healing perfectly. Also, while waiting for the ATM, Don was recommending some of his favorite places to take visitors (we did hit a couple of them while we were there!) Overall this was a great experience, super great people to work with even for a quick small tattoo. Would highly recommend this shop.

He threw a jug of water out the door, stormed out of the room three times, and made us all feel so uncomfortable. He literally put the stencil on my dad and when we said we were good with it, he left the room and came back and said I'm not doing it anymore and then stormed out of the entire building. He ruined my family's experience of trying to get their first tattoos on our special trip and we waisted 2 hours of our two days in Banff. Don't go unless you want to have an absolute horrific experience.

Disappointing Experience - Faded Tattoo in Days…read more My friend and I came in to get matching tattoos on the sides of our hands--an area we knew could be tricky, but we expected a bit more care and guidance. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. The artist offered little support or direction during the design process and didn't explain the level of fading we might expect clearly. We were asked to sign the hand waivers after the tattoo was completed. We were told it would fade over time, but within just 2-3 days, one tattoo had nearly vanished and the other was missing large chunks. When we brought this to the studio's attention, the manager cited their "hand tattoo policy" but ultimately refused to stand by their work. We were told we could pay again to get it touched up. Instead of offering a resolution or at least a courtesy touch-up, we were told we'd have to pay again to fix tattoos that didn't even last a week. I understand that hand tattoos can be tricky, but this was poorly handled. Lack of support, lack of follow-through, and a lack of accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone--especially if you're hoping for both quality work and respectful customer service. After speaking and showing other artists the work, they agreed that it was poorly done and not deep Enough. Save your money and stay away!!!!

After reaching out to her myself, I asked when she was available next to reschedule. She suggested doing the consultation over video chat that day which I agreed, yet, after waiting 30 minutes past our scheduled time she finally called me with no apology and was short with me. I could also hear she was in her car driving and not giving me her full attention. It's clear she did not want to give me her time and she wasted mine. I can't speak for the rest of the studio but obviously Kennedy does not care about her clients, she was rude and offered horrible customer service. I do not recommend this place at all. I am grateful I never gave her my money or any more of my time.
