    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.

    Awesome experience. New hubby and I wanted some tattoos at the end of our Banff honeymoon and…read morecouldn't be happier with our NWS and Jesse James experience. Super talented artist, clean shop, nice guys to hang with for a couple hours, really awesome. Might be hard to get in but totally worth it! Someday we'll be back!

    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!!!!

    My son and I went there twice over about a 4 month period, spending close to five thousand dollars…read more First time I was very happy. Second time, the ink fell out faster than it went in. You can't even tell what the tattoo is supposed to be. So I called about getting some touch ups done. I was told no problem but here's the catch. I have to pay the $200 per hour to get touch ups done. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous.

    I wasn't planning on getting a tattoo in town. Most of my ink was done by Dragon's Lair Tattoo on…read moreMacArthur in Oakland, so I kind of wanted to keep the tradition. (ETA: Just looked up Dragon's Lair, and discovered they have been closed for over a year now. So much for traditions.) But tragedy and a desire for healing through needles and beauty, brought me here. This was a different experience from my other pieces. My other tattoos are small, black and grey and were done the day I walked in to the parlor (after over a year of tossing the idea back and forth). But in YYC, a decent artist is in extreme demand, so you book an appointment the way you book one for a doctor. Depending on what you want done, and how you want it done, wait times can be anywhere from weeks to months. At IC, you can put down either a cash deposit to secure your time or a PayPal deposit. The deposit covers the first hour and is taken off your final bill. When I brought in my reference photos and idea sketch, the guy booking my appointment suggested I make an appointment with Niki. Having seen some of her gorgeous work when I was perusing their website, I agreed readily. Niki was a blast to talk to, is extremely talented and did her best to make sure my 2 hour sitting was as pleasant as it could possibly be. The memorial piece on my left forearm came out even better than I imagined (bigger too, hehe), and I was stoked from start to finish. As for the shop itself, it's incredibly clean, spacious and about to get even more so, now that the only-sometimes-open Mexican restaurant that once resided below them is no longer there. The atmosphere is relaxed, you can tell all the artists get along with each other (at least the ones that were there that evening!) and that they take great pride in what they do and where they work. Dean, the guy who took my appointment, was pleasant to talk to, even though he was probably anxious to get home. I also love that they have late hours on certain days, because I wouldn't have been able to go on a week day in the middle of normal business hours. Thank you, Niki, for the beautiful work you did. I couldn't ask for a better reminder of my darling.
