Riley at Bushido is amazing. He's done a sleeve and 3/4's on me and I couldn't be happier! Place has great vibes with awesome artists!

Got my first tattoo ever from Jenny and Im in absolute love! Found her from IG and she did a perfect job! Jenny and Cale we're so sweet for letting me talk their ear off. Everything was held with maturity and professionalism! I'm looking forward to coming back and getting more tattoos! Thank you so much guys ☺️

I had a piece done by Malinda - who was an absolute gem. Professional, easy to talk to, and the tattoo is outstanding. The shop it self was also well kept, and had their COVID guidelines in place. I felt comfortable, well taken care of, and safe! Looking forward to more pieces in the future :)

Note: This was originally written around July, closer to the reopening date after the first lockdown.
It's been an extremely difficult experience with Jenny. Since talking with her (Jan 28 - July 24), questions (which I have asked about 3 times) have gone unanswered, emails are either skimmed over with a quick one sentence response or ignored/forgotten about completely, and no input/rough sketch was provided up until the date of the appointment. When we did our virtual consult after the store was scheduled to open up again, she completely forgot what kind of work I wanted and went on about something

Fantastic really made you feel comfortable so clean great standards amazing artist highly recommended 👌🏻

For a milestone Bday this year wanted to update an old tattoo. Wil came up with a unique cover up and I’m still amazed by his creativity and talent. Also no surprises with what was quoted and no issues with healing. Thanks Wil for making this the highlight of an otherwise lousy year with the pandemic!

The receptionist told us we couldn't book a consultation over the phone, which was inconvenient for me and my girlfriend. So we decided to go in to the shop to book one and when we got there. The receptionist said that the lady that would do our tattoo was in but she never grabbed the artist just to talk to us like every other tattoo shop. She booked our consultation 3 days later with the least experienced artist. Not to mention what was the point I could book that consultation over the phone. Was a waste of my time!. Receptionists was rude and lazy. We cancelled our appointments! Rather go to

Very talented artists. Love the work Liam does and so incredibly happy with my tattoo. I get compliments on it all the time.

I just got finished with Jenny, and she was so fast, I barely felt a thing! Everything was clean, and the staff was amazing! She did this memorial piece for me, and made it feel so healing! It was the perfect first time experience! Thank you so much, Jenny and Bushido!

Just got a tattoo with Jenny and she was absolutely amazing. So fast, gave all 3 of us exactly what we wanted (even better than we could imagine!) Her technique and artistry is flawless. Could not rave about her enough! Came from BC and I will be back!

Just got my second tattoo with Jenny and it was such an amazing experience. She is not only insanely talented, but Bushido is so clean and chill. I would recommend her and Bushido 100%!

Like Bushido. The artist professional and friendly. When you go to Bushido Tattoo to get a tattoo, you get a tattoo. You don't pay for 15 mins. long smoke brakes every 30 mins.. LOVE THE PLACE!!!

Great place and staff are super helpful. Wil created a wonderful tattoo and was so easy to work with.

Amazing environment to be in, everyone is so friendly and the tattoo work is amazing!

I'm extremely happy with my experiences at Bushido, I've had Jess do my first and second tattoos, she took my ideas and made them much better than i could imagine! I spent a lot of time looking through their artist portfolios before choosing the one that was right for me and would recommend anyone to check them out because you will leave with something that is well done and original!

I would not recommend this tattoo shop. I had my work done by Riley. I researched for a few months to find a good black and grey realistic artist in Calgary. I found bushido and they were welcoming Riley to their team. I absolutely loved what I had seen of his work. Unfortunately after seeing him twice I was disappointed. I had a consultation explaining what I had wanted and that I respected his artist opinion. He said we could work away through a few appointments to finish my sleeve. I wanted roses coming down my arm and working in a realistic snowy owl down my forearm. During my first appointment

I had my first tat done a couple of years ago by Sam Smith. Amazing artist. I have a Philippine (Monkey-Eating) Eagle with some details from the Philippine flag, as well as my wife and kids' names. It spans part of my chest, left arm and left shoulder blade. The depth of expression on the eagle's face, the attention to detail on each feather--truly, the devil is in the details. Lost count how many unsolicited compliments I've gotten at the gym. Sam seriously rocks.

I got my most recent tattoo at Bushido just over a year ago. After having to put down $100 to keep my appointment, I was a little surprised that my mini-tattoo cost another $140... I have 5 tattoos and this was definitely the most expensive one I've ever gotten, especially for its size. Some of the outlines of circles of my tattoo are noticeably larger than the other ones... Bushido gets bonus points for offering free touch ups for a year, but I didn't even need to, the colour is still excellent. I was just a little thrown off by the price for the size of the tattoo, and am a little disappointed

Great tattoo shop on 17th!

Got work done with Sam Smith. Very creative artist. She added to a previous tattoo I had, and I am impressed.

Keep up the good work.
