Atticus Tattoo: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very friendly from start to finish. I walked in yesterday for a tattoo and had such a great experience that I wanted another one right after. They were very accommodating and managed to book me in the very next morning. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the awesome review RJ! We are so happy you love your new tattoos! They look amazing!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the shop. If your looking to get a tattoo, GO WITH Denys. Second time with him and he has done absolutely amazing jobs each time. Easily will be booking with him again.
Thank you for the kind revie Alex! Denys is so talented and we are so thrilled you enjoy your experience every time you come to Atticus! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with my experience at Atticus Tattoo! Was able to get my custom design done by Ricky. Who was extremely helpful with artistic ideas and adjustments that I missed when I designed it initially. It was an amazing time chatting with him throughout the appointment. And I’m so so happy with the tattoo itself! Thanks a bunch Ricky & the Atticus team!
Thank you so much Jenna! We are very happy you had such a memorable time with us and Ricky :)
Negative experience: We had a really disappointing experience at this shop, and it honestly started the moment we walked in. The receptionist is the very first person customers see and interact with, so having a welcoming and professional attitude is extremely important. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at all. Throughout our visit, the receptionist was rude, dismissive, and gave constant attitude toward us. What made the situation even more frustrating was that we watched her treat other customers completely differently. She was friendly, smiling, asking them how their tattoo was, and telling them to have a great day. They were treated with respect and kindness. However, when it came to us, the attitude completely changed. There was no friendliness, no courtesy, and no effort to make us feel welcome. Once we were finished, we didn’t even receive a simple “thank you” or “have a great day.” It felt like we were treated as an inconvenience rather than paying customers. To be fair, the piercer who helped us was very nice, professional, and made the piercing experience itself comfortable. We truly appreciated their kindness and professionalism. However, a receptionist represents the entire business, and when the first point of contact treats people with disrespect or obvious favoritism, it leaves a very negative impression and affects the whole experience. We hope management takes this seriously because customer service at the front desk truly matters.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your visit did not meet expectations, especially from your first interaction at the front desk. The way our guests are welcomed and treated is extremely important to us, and it’s disappointing to learn that you felt anything less than respected and valued.
We sincerely apologize for the behavior you encountered from our receptionist. What you described does not reflect the level of service we strive to provide to every customer, and we understand how frustrating and disheartening that must have felt, especially when you observed a difference in how others were treated. Please know that this is being taken seriously and will be addressed with our team.
At the same time, we truly appreciate your kind words about your piercer. We’re glad they were able to provide you with a comfortable and professional experience.
Your feedback is incredibly important to us, as it helps us improve and hold ourselves accountable. We are committed to ensuring every client feels welcomed, respected, and appreciated from start to finish. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Fantastic experience: Went to go get a nose piercing and the service was great, pretty sure there’s only one guy that does piercings and he was amazing.
Thank you so much for the kind review for our piercer Larry :)
Fantastic experience: Yeva is a masterful artist! Her technique, care, and style is incredible. The staff at the shop are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. The whole experience at Atticus is truly a pleasure and I would highly recommend it! Especially if you are looking to get your first tattoo :-)
Thank you so much Erin! We appreciate the lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: Denys did a fantastic job on my 16 year old son’s first tattoo! He first made a stencil to put on so he could check the size and placement which was perfect. He was very professional, courteous and explained everything that was happening and what to do with his aftercare. Very happy!
Thank you so much Leslie!
Congratulations to your son for his first tattoo and we are so happy it was a great experience for the both of you :)
Fantastic experience: I loved my experience with Olha today. She is so kind and professional. She did my tattoo exactly how I wanted it! I am soooo happy with the results, I had a colour tattoo, ah and she has a soft hand , you almost wont feel the needle
Thank you Iris! We are thrilled you had such a wonderful experience with Olha!
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I got tattoos done by Vadym at Atticus Tattoo. He was very friendly and was able to bring our visions to life. The shop was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend both Vadym and and Atticus Tattoo.
Thank you Jennifer! We are so happy you love your new ink from Vadym:) We hope to see you soon!
Negative experience: My sisters and I got small script tattoos here recently and unfortunately the quality of the line work is disappointing. We specifically asked for a senior artist because we knew script tattoos require very precise work. Less than a week later it’s already obvious that multiple lines disconnect throughout the lettering, making all of our tattoos look uneven and poorly done. For such a small and simple design, this shouldn’t be happening. Very disappointing as the tattoo quality does not match what we expected from an experienced artist.
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you are disappointed. We would like to clarify some points in the matter.
Some ink fall-out and fading can be a normal part of the healing process with any tattoo.
However, hand tattoos are an exception. The skin on the hands experiences significantly more movement, friction, and faster cell turnover than other areas of the body, which makes them one of the most unpredictable places for a tattoo to heal. Because of this, fading and ink fall-out are much more common and the final outcome can never be guaranteed, regardless of the artist’s experience. This is also why we do not offer free touch-ups on hand tattoos.
Prior to the appointment, a hand tattoo waiver was reviewed and signed that clearly explains these risks so clients are aware of the healing challenges specific to this area before proceeding with the tattoo.
Fantastic experience: The best and warmest environment to get yourself pierced on planet Earth. I’m not familiar with Venus or Mars but I think Atticus would still be in my top 3. Larry is incredible, a national treasure the likes of which Nicholas Cage would try to discover over the course of 90 minutes. The ladies at the front are absolutely the kindest! They made me feel so at home and welcomed. When I’m looking for a new piercing or tattoo, I know exactly where to go. I might go back just to say hi! <3
Thank you so much for your kind and lovely words! We are so glad you had a great experience and you are welcome back anytime! Can't wait to see you again:)
Fantastic experience: My sister and I got matching memorial paw print tattoos and love how they turned out. Our artist was super chill and professional. Thanks Brandon!
Thank you for the 5-star review Madison! Brandon is so talented and we are so you enjoyed your experience here at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Larry was super professional - quick and easy - he did my ear piercing on both the sides. 5 stars. I was a walk in and it took max 10 mins that I was done.
Thank you Yuvraj! Larry is the best! We hope to welcome you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Denys was absolutely amazing! His attention to detail was incredible, and you can really tell he takes pride in his work. He made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. The music was great too, which made the session even better. I’m so happy with my tattoo and will definitely be back to see him very soon. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the awesome review! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: I had a small written tattoo done by Olha and I couldn’t be happier. She did an incredible job and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely be returning to her! The front desk receptionists were also wonderful and very welcoming.
Thanks for the 5-stars, Angela! We are thrilled you love your new tattoo done by Olha!
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing experience with Cassidy today. Tattoo looks so beautiful and she is the sweetest!
Thank you for the lovely review. We are so happy you love your tattoo that Cassidy did for you! We hope to see you again soon :)
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough amazing things about Yeva at Atticus Tattoo! She created my floral half sleeve and it is absolutely stunning. The level of detail, flow, and artistry she brought to a fully custom piece truly exceeded my expectations. She listened carefully to my ideas and transformed them into something even more beautiful than I imagined. On top of being an incredibly talented artist, Yeva was so easy to work with — professional, kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about her craft. The entire experience felt collaborative and comfortable from start to finish. My husband and I have both had the pleasure of getting tattoos and piercings done at Atticus Tattoo, and every experience has been top-notch. The shop is clean, welcoming, and filled with talented artists. If you’re looking for someone who can create a meaningful, custom piece of art for your body, I highly recommend Yeva. You won’t regret it!
Thank you for the fantastic review! Yeva is truly amazing and we are so happy you love your new tattoo!
Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at Atticus! Roman was amazing; super talented, patient, and really took the time to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The whole experience was smooth, comfortable, and honestly just really enjoyable. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
Thank you Barbara! Roman is amazing! We hope to see you again in the future!!
Fantastic experience: Great time! We were 4 walk-ins late at night while travelling back to BC, they were able to fit us in with no problems, artist were amazing! My two girlfriends had one artist and me and my other girlfriend had Ricky, all four of us loved every part of our experience with the artists and couldn’t believe how kind, skilled, funny, and friendly they were. Receptionist was also absolutely amazing and such a gem! They’re very light with their hands and the signatures for Ria Mae turned out better than we expected! Will definitely be coming back!
Thank you, Amanda! We're thrilled you all had an amazing experience! See you next time!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience. Everyone there is so nice. I wanna give a huge thanx to my artist Vadym. Your are truly amazing at what you do. 100 percent will be coming back. Thanx.
Cece, thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with Vadym. See you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Just finished getting tattooed by Ricky, I couldn't be happier. From the second I walked into Atticus Tattoos the energy and the people were super chill and very professional. Ricky walked me through every step, made me feel totally at ease. Felt like talking to an old friend, and his lines are so clean! If your looking for a place that makes you feel incredibly welcome, actually listens to you and doesn't care how many times you change your stencil, this is your place!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Chanel! We're thrilled you felt at home with Ricky and loved your tattoo experience !
Fantastic experience: Got two tattoos from Sara and I couldn’t be happier! She is so talented and really takes the time to understand what you want. Her energy is the sweetest and the studio experience was so chill and welcoming. The tattoos turned out even better than I imagined. Thank you, Sara — I’m obsessed!
Thank you, Simar! We're thrilled you're obsessed with Sara's work and enjoyed your time here! Hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: Sara is seriously one of the best tattoo artists out there. Her work is clean, precise, and beautifully done. She’s super kind, easy to talk to, and makes the whole experience relaxing. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, she’s the one to go to!
Harshan, we're thrilled you loved Sara's work! Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Honestly from the beginning to end at this place was amazing. The receptionist was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. She definitely knows how to make someone comfortable while deciding on something permanent. My tattoo artist Mike was quick, basically painless and my lines look immaculate! He definitely knows what he’s doing ! 1000000000 percent recommend them a million times over !
Alexis, thank you for the glowing review! We're delighted Mike and our team exceeded your expectations!
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my Tattoo, resonable price but most importantly the quality of it, detail, and ability to match the design I wanted was perfect. Roman was my artist and I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Thanks, Aidan! We're thrilled you loved your tattoo. Roman is fantastic, and we're glad you're happy with the design!
Fantastic experience: Roman is great. I've had a few visits with him and he's over delivered each time, Atticus is a great place to get some ink. Now I have to plan my next one.
Thanks, Joshua! We're delighted Roman impressed you, hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I got an amazing tattoo from denys yesterday i couldn’t be happier i love how it ended up will definitely be back to see him he’d very quick and talented
Thanks, Oceane! We're thrilled you loved your tattoo from Denys., Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Denys did such an excellent job on my latest tattoo. Turned a 5 hours tattoo into 3 hours without sacrificing detail and geometry! Would highly recommend Denys for anyone looking to get a tattoo, I will definitely be returning to him!
That is an amazing piece!! Denys did such a great job!
Fantastic experience: My daughter got a tattoo here done by Steph. They did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We will definitely be back.
Thank you, Jennifer! We're thrilled Steph delivered an amazing tattoo for your daughter.
Fantastic experience: I got a tiny tattoo with Mar. What an amazing experience! She was so friendly, practiced spanish with me, played my favorite music, and did a great job on the tattoo!! Thank you so much.
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you had such a great experience with Mar. She’ll be happy to hear you enjoyed the music, the conversation, and of course your new tattoo. Thanks again for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Had this done today as my first tattoo by Rafael, The experience was great! And the rest of the staff were very pleasant. 10/10 Would recommend.
Thank you! Rafa and our staff are awesome!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved the experience with Mariia the tattoo artist. She tattooed exactly what I was hoping for. It was a floral tattoo with my mother’s name and mother-in-laws name on my forearm. What surprised me was that it did not hurt a bit. Thankyou also to the friendly gal at the front, enjoyed it all.
Thank you for the awesome review Daryl! Mariia is amazing and we are thrilled that you love your new tattoo from her! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience getting my first tattoo with Stephanie. She was incredibly patient and took the time to guide me through the entire process, which really helped put me at ease. I truly appreciated how she took the initiative to print out several different lettering sizes so I could try them out and decide whether I wanted a bigger size — that extra effort meant a lot to me. During the tattooing process, Stephanie was very gentle and extremely attentive to detail. I could see how carefully she worked on the artwork on my arm, and the final result turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. As this was my first tattoo, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t feel as painful as I thought it would, which really speaks to her technique and professionalism. If you’re looking to get a fine line tattoo, I would definitely recommend going to her. Although Stephanie is a junior tattoo artist, her professionalism, artistry, and attention to detail honestly feel more like a senior artist’s vibe. I’ll definitely come back to her again when I’m ready for my second tattoo. Thank you so much, Stephanie! I’d also like to give a special shoutout to the lovely front desk receptionist who made me feel welcome the moment I walked in. She was friendly, helpful, and polite, and her warm attitude made the whole experience even more pleasant.
Thank you for the stellar review! We're so so happy to hear about your amazing experience with Stephanie at Atticus Tattoo. We can't wait to welcome you back to our shop! <3
Fantastic experience: I have 30+ tattoos. My tattoo done by Melissa tho is by far one of my best. She is a phenomenal artist and I would highly recommended. 10/10
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Negative experience: Very disappointed with the service. My deposit was applied to my first tattoo, yet it was later kept with no clear explanation, documentation, or work done for a cancelled follow-up appointment. Communication was poor, they do not contact you before a deposit expires, and they were unwilling to work with me or do the fair thing when concerns were raised.
Hi Ricky,
We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed and would like to clarify the situation.
All deposit policies are clearly outlined on the deposit agreement sheet, which you signed in person at the time of booking. These policies are reviewed at booking and agreed upon by signing. We make a point to keep all policies clear and straightforward and do not hide information from our clients.
Deposits are held on file and are applied only upon the completion of a tattoo. In your case, the deposit was held for your second scheduled appointments. This appointment in 2024 was cancelled, and no attempt was made to contact us to rebook within the timeframe specified in the signed deposit agreement.
Because of this, the deposit was retained in accordance with the policy you agreed to at the time of booking. Our policies are applied consistently to all clients to ensure fairness.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and wish you all the best moving forward.
Fantastic experience: The reception area was tidy and clean. Felt very comfortable. Kat was my tattoo artist. She is super talented with water colours. She was very personable and made the experience very comfortable. There was a tv in the room in case we wanted to put anything on while getting tattooed but had good conversation instead. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you Daniel! We are so happy you felt welcomed in our shop! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: Clean, bright, tons of variety to choose from. Professional courteous staff and artist (Jesse). Excellent value!
Fantastic experience: My friend and I both decided to get new piercings and it was all around a great experience. Larry did a phenomenal job for both of us!!
Thank you, Cat! We're thrilled Larry made your piercing experience phenomenal. Visit us at Atticus Tattoo anytime!
Fantastic experience: Mariia provided a wonderful experience. She sent me her concepts before the appointment in case changes were desired. She created a beautiful piece with the vibe I wanted, she was professional and considerate during the tattoo, and she came in within the quote. I will DEFINITELY be back!!!!
Thank you for the lovely review, Shane! We're so glad Mariia provided a wonderful experience. Looking forward to your next visit at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: I had a first class experience at Atticus. My artist was Yeva. She did such an amazing job. I asked the internet “who does the best fine-line work in Calgary”. Yeva’s name came up each time I used two different search phrases. Yeva inked my mother’s handwriting on my left pectoral muscle. I could not be happier with the service provided by both Atticus and Yeva. And, I will say that Atticus was a very clean environment. Cleaner than some medical clinics.
Thank you, Douglas! Yeva is amazing and your new ink looks great!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience with this shop. Saw Sabrina. She was very thoughtful in her work. Willing to do revisions and did an exceptional job. Super happy with the results. Would recommend!!
Thank you for the 5-stars, K! We are stoked you love your new piece from Sabrina!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! The reception is very nice and the location itself feels very welcoming. I highly recommend getting a tattoo here. I have gotten two from Mariia, she always gives me a better version of what I originally wanted and sessions with her are very relaxing. I was really scared of getting tattoos but Mariia was really gentle and it ended up barely hurting at all, at least for me.
Thank you for the awesome review!
Fantastic experience: Very clean and informative for someone getting their first tattoo, Neva made it very comfortable and even had a good playlist goin on the whole time which was a nice touch! Thanks!
Thank you, Logan! We're happy to hear Neva made your experience amazing. Hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: I went with my son to get him a tattoo, and I decided when I was there to get one for myself. Melissa was my tattoo artist that took me as a walk in, she was amazing did a beautiful job on my tattoo I will for sure go back to her for another tattoo.
Thank you, Erin! We're thrilled Melissa could make your visit special. See you again at Atticus Tattoo!
Negative experience: I recently got hand tattoos done by Steph at Atticus and I'm quite frustrated with the results. The lines on my pink the tulip below my index, and the cross on my thumb are either noticeably uneven, or the ink has already faded after a week and a half. I contacted the artist about these issues, but unfortunately, the response was not helpful, and the problems remain unresolved. While I appreciate their time, I cannot recommend this artist for detailed work, especially on highly visible areas like the hands.
Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten multiple tiny tats here and it’s always a great experience! I just got one from Denys recently with a friend and he was fantastic. He was able to accommodate us quickly, and both our tattoos turned out perfect!
Thank you so much for the lovely review and we are happy you had a great time with Denys!
Fantastic experience: I got memorial paw prints from Sabrina, and my experience was absolutely amazing! I felt comfortable the entire time, she was very professional and wonderful to talk to. Before starting she made sure the tattoo was exactly what I wanted and placed perfectly. She explained the aftercare thoroughly and made sure I was prepared. I'm very, very happy and definitely will go back!
Thank you so much! Sabrina is absolutely wonderful and we are happy you had a great experience with her!
Fantastic experience: Went in for a walk in Tattoo a while ago and it was an amazing experience. The staff were very helpful and the tattoo I got looks incredible even after a long period of time has passed. My artist that I was assigned was super friendly as well! would totally reccomend checking this studio out!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: Second time getting tattooed at this studio, everyone is super friendly and professional; they keep the shop very clean and make sure all their customers are informed throughout the whole process
Thank you for coming back! We really appreciate your kind words and are glad you felt comfortable and well taken care of. Hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo in Calgary, and I had a great experience with Sara! We DM'ed over Instagram and she drew up three different sizes of the design for me to look at, with two different types of lines. My tattoo is now healing nicely. The only thing that was unpleasant (and this is NOT the fault of Sara or Atticus) is that I seem to have had an allergic reaction to the second skin bandage. This was my first time having a second skin bandage, so now I know for next time. I will definitely be back, but will just elect next time to do 'traditional' healing versus the second skin. Thanks Atticus and Sara for a professional, clean and thoroughly explained experience!
Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review! We’re really glad to hear you had a great first tattoo experience in Calgary with Sara and that your tattoo is healing nicely. We’re sorry to hear about the reaction to the second skin, but we appreciate you sharing that and are glad you know what works best for you moving forward. We look forward to having you back and taking care of you again. Thanks for choosing Atticus!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and professional service from booking stage to the planning of the tattoo and right down to putting needle to skin. Denys was awesome and I’d go back in a heart beat
Thank you so much! We’re glad you had a great experience with Denys and we’d love to see you again anytime.
Fantastic experience: I only see Sabrina & she does not disappoint ever, always recommending her! Not only is she amazing at her work but she’s so nice!! Looking forward to future appointments with her! Everyone there is so nice and very knowledgeable!
Ella! Thank you for your kind words! Sabrina rocks! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: BOOK WITH SABRINA!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100000/5 stars — if that were possible I cannot say enough incredible things about Sabrina at Atticus Tattoo. This tattoo is a memorial for my cat, Cleo, who passed away in November. I got her when I was 12 years old, and she truly was my world. She was there for me through every stage of growing up, every hard moment, every quiet moment. She saw me start and graduate high school, meet the love of my life, start university, get my degree, get married, starting my career, anything and everything— she was there. When she passed, it was debilitating. I knew I wanted to memorialize her in a way that was meaningful, permanent, and worthy of the love I had for her. I live in a rural area, so I spent weeks researching. I searched through dozens of shops, artists, and portfolios across multiple cities. I thought I had found “good enough” a few times… and then I kept searching. Everything changed the moment I found Sabrina. Her work stood out immediately — not just technically, but emotionally. I knew instantly she was the artist I could trust with something this important. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The consultation process was thoughtful and thorough. Booking was easy and stress-free. The front desk staff were kind, welcoming, and professional. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for — not rushed, not treated like “just another appointment.” Sabrina took the time to truly understand what Cleo meant to me. She sized the tattoo perfectly, designed it with intention, and captured my girl in a way that feels so real it honestly takes my breath away. During the entire 3-hour tattoo, she was gentle, patient, and incredibly attentive — checking in often, offering breaks, water, and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. She answered all of my questions and concerns thoughtfully and never once made me feel silly or rushed. And the final result… I don’t even have words. It is beautiful, emotional, and perfect. She didn’t just tattoo a cat — she honored my Cleo. Having her on my body now is a deep source of comfort, and it feels like I get to carry a piece of her with me always. Sabrina gave me a gift that is just as beautiful as my girl was when she was alive, and I will be forever grateful for that. If you are looking for an artist who is not only immensely talented but also compassionate, patient, and truly invested in their work — Sabrina is the one. I would trust her again in a heartbeat, especially with something meaningful. Thank you, Sabrina. Truly.
Thank you for leaving such an amazing review! Sabrina is so talented and we are so thrilled to have given you an experience to remember! We hope to see you soon:)
Fantastic experience: Saw Simon today, he did an amazing job. Very sociable and polite, excellent service, we will definitely be coming back!
Thanks Carter! Simon is incredible!
Fantastic experience: I love my new tiny tattoo by Vadym. He was so kind and gentle. I can’t wait till it’s all healed so I can show it off. My tiny rainbow Update. I have to have it redone as it came out almost completely. They have agreed to redo just have to book.
Thank you so much for a great review! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us and Vadym!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Atticus tattoos! I’ve been twice now and will definitely be back. Denys did an amazing job and was very helpful with the whole design process
Hi Elijah! Thanks so much for your kind words! Denys would love to have you back for another tat anytime :)
Fantastic experience: I got my nose repierced by Larry and he was super efficient and informative on the healing process. Piercing was basically painless and I’m really happy with the results. It’s been healing so well with little to no discomfort and I’m so happy to have my nose piercing back. Will be going back :)
Hi Briana! So glad to hear you had such a great experience with our Larry:)
Come back anytime!
Positive experience: Got a Tattoo with Neva! She is such a great artist! I would definitely recommend her for fine lines. Although it did cost me more than I expected:(
Fantastic experience: I got my tattoo done by Yeva. She was truly wonderful. She was also super accommodating while I went back and forth with sizing and placement. I cannot wait to go back to her!
Thank you, Ashmeet! We're delighted Yeva impressed you. Looking forward to your next visit at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: I went for a helix piercing with the apprentice and she was so helpful. She helped explain how certain piercings would not work for me because of anatomy and was so patient trying to help decide which piercing I should get. In the end, we decided to add a helix under the existing one I had and I’m so happy with the choice! It looks so pretty and the process was pretty quick as well!
Thanks, Gagan! We're glad you're happy with your helix piercing experience at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Several years ago my 2 sons and I decided to get matching tattoos recognizing our shared passion for all things Pink Floyd. This year with the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, we felt the time was right, and after some looking around decided to get them done by Denys at Atticus. The entire experience was exceptional. From the minute you walk in the front door, you can tell the shop is first rate. The reception is clean and uncluttered and gives you confidence in the professionalism of the shop. The receptionist was helpful and kind, and efficient at processing our paperwork. As there were 3 of us getting work done, it was estimated to be a total of 6 hours for all 3 of us. As one of us was getting done, the other 2 walked over for a bite to eat nearby, and it was all done in just over 4 hours. Denys exceeded our expectations with our design idea, and was very efficient and organized. He did amazing work with the shading of our design, and all 3 of us were extremely satisfied with his work. I plan on getting some additional work done in the near future and will absolutely come back to Atticus.
Thank you, Aaron! We're so glad to hear you and your sons loved the tattoos. Can't wait to welcome you back at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Great work by Ricky and Roman in Calgary. Professional, accommodating, efficient and skilled. Love how our tats turned out. Thank you! Edit after second appt: Excellent experience and an amazing final product. Thanks to Roman for turning my vision into a work of art.
Thank you for the kind review! We're happy to hear you had a great experience with Ricky and Roman. We hope to see you again soon :)
Fantastic experience: Denys was amazing, did great work, helped with the placement and finding the perfect spot for the tattoo and it turned out really well! Would definitely go back to him again!
Thank you, Kadie! We're thrilled you loved your tattoo experience with Denys
Fantastic experience: Came in for a walk in. Denys was amazing, he was very good with drawing out the picture to my liking, he was amazing with the placement first try & was very fast! Would definitely go back to see him again
Appreciate the feedback, We're glad Denys made your experience great.
Fantastic experience: Denys completed a spine piece today for my daughter and it turned out beautifully. He was easy to work with, approachable and meticulous with the placement, font, and linework. Highly recommend Denys!
Thanks, Erin! We're delighted Denys' work on your daughter's spine piece met your expectations.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Ohla. She is such a sweet worker and is dedicated to perfecting her craft. Highly recommend!

Hey Tobi, thank you for the kind review! We are so happy Larry made you feel comfortable. Hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: Front staff was accommodating when booking the appointment, and welcoming upon arrival to the tattoo studio. Jess Pardo was friendly and polite, awesome with sizing and placement of the stencil. The fine lines in the tattoos completed by Jess Pardo were AWESOME and precise. This was my first visit the Atticus Tattoo in Calgary but it won’t be my last. I would recommend Jess to anyone interested in getting a tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Larry pierced my conch 6 days ago and it went really smoothly. I ended up having to have the bar switched to a longer one today as I unexpectedly swelled a lot and he was very helpful with that too! He is very responsive on Instagram and is happy to help with any questions you might have. Would go back to see him for my next piercing for sure :)
Thank you for the great review! We're glad to hear your conch piercing went smoothly and that Larry was able to help when the swelling came up. We appreciate the kind words and look forward to seeing you again for your next piercing!

Fantastic experience: My friend and I were celebrating her 50th birthday and decided to be spontaneous and get a tattoo! From the initial email contact, to confirming our next day appointments to the final results, I was extremely impressed with the professionalism, spotless tattoo shop and amazingly talented artists!! I had the pleasure of working with Jessica, and couldn't be happier with my new ink!! She took my inspiration and adapted it to exactly what I was hoping for in a fine line tattoo. I would definitely recommend Atticus to anyone looking for a new shop! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re honored you chose to celebrate such a special birthday with us. Jessica will be so happy to hear how much you love your fine line tattoo. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo done with Mariia in Calgary today, the whole experience was great working with her. I gave her my ideas and a space to work around a previous tattoo, she came up with a concept I was super happy with, accommodated my change requests and ultimately gave me a tattoo I’m super stoked with. Atticus in general were easy to book with, professional and courteous at all times. It’s a nice clean studio and space.
Letitia, thank you for your amazing feedback! We're delighted you loved the tattoo and experience with Mariia.
Fantastic experience: I was visiting Calgary and wanted to mark it with a tattoo. I received a referral for Atticus and was not disappointed at all. They were incredibly welcoming, got me in quickly and I am super stoked about the Tattoo Rafael did. The shop was clean, staff were friendly and I would definitely visit again and also recommend.
Thank you so much, John! You were a pleasure to have in the shop, and we are very glad to hear you loved your tattoo!
Fantastic experience: I got my ears pierced by Larry and it was a great experience! He was efficient and welcoming and made the process easy and comfortable. I also noticed how sanitary and clean the room for piercing was. I definitely recommend this studio!
Beth, thank you! We're glad Larry provided an excellent experience. Your support is valued!
Fantastic experience: Denys was able to take my simple idea for matching tattoos and add the extra cuteness needed for this sort of tattoo. With his fast but gentle touch, we were in and out in record time with our new ink to sport. Thanks again Denys!
Thank you, Caitlin! So glad Denys made your matching tattoos extra special !
Fantastic experience: Overall the best tattoo experience! The booking process was exceptionally smooth, the place is immaculately clean, Brandon was professional, patient and quality of work was outstanding.
Olivia, we appreciate your kind words!
Negative experience: I've had several tattoos done here over the years and they were fine, but my last two experiences here were disappointing and I won't be going back. Second last time, I was getting some sleeve filler done and the guy seemed like he was in a rush. He just blasted through it and didn't really space out the dots and other filler evenly. Not major, I can get it balanced out with another appointment, but it was still a bit disappointing. My last appointment, I got a finger tattoo done by a "senior" artist which he botched. He didn't punch the ink in deep enough and so it was almost invisible after it healed. When I emailed them about it, their solution was for me to pay full price to have it redone. I understand their policy on finger tattoo touch ups. However, as I explained to them, this wasn't a "touch up," the tattoo didn't fade over time, it was less than 12 days old and the entire tattoo was barely visible. They said I could book in with one of their junior artists if I wanted to save money... Well, if your senior artist couldn't get it right I'm not confident your junior artist will either. Anyways, I went to Royal Tattoo and they got me sorted out. Cam did a great job fixing things up, it's been almost a month and his work looks great so I'll be sticking with Royal from here on out.
Hi Jesse,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent visits didn’t meet your expectations, especially after being a long-time client.
Regarding your finger tattoo, we understand how disappointing it can be when a healed result isn’t what you hoped for. Finger tattoos, however, are extremely unpredictable — they do not last well, and are considered a novelty at best. The skin in that area regenerates quickly and sheds more often, so there is no reliable way to predict how a finger tattoo will heal. It can fade rapidly, heal unevenly, or even disappear entirely within days or weeks, regardless of the artist’s experience.
Because of this, we had you sign a separate finger-tattoo waiver, which explains that fading or loss of ink is common and expected, and that we do not offer free touch-ups for finger tattoos due to their inherently unstable nature.
We offered a reduced-cost session with one of our junior artists simply to give you a more affordable option, not as a reflection of skill.
We’re glad to hear that another studio was able to give you a result you’re happy with, and we genuinely wish you the best going forward. If you ever decide to visit again or have any questions in the future, our door is always open
Fantastic experience: It was my first time getting a tattoo, and the staff was super welcoming and friendly! Roman did an amazing job with my tattoo. I would 100% recommend Atticus Tattoo.
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed your experience here with Roman and us :)
Fantastic experience: I’m so happy with my tattoo! I love it! The tattoo artist I had was very talented, kind and gentle .He did a great job! Thank you!
That is so amazing to hear! Thank you so much for the kind review :)
Fantastic experience: I had my appointment at Atticus today, the first half of the piece I want. The studio itself is beautiful, absolutely spotless and new looking. It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and there are lots of private rooms that each artist uses, which I love. It was nice and quiet, rooms are super clean. There was a tv mounted on the wall to watch, presumably all the rooms have them. The reception staff are lovely, very welcoming and friendly. My artist is Cassidy and let me tell you this girl is pure magic! Her eye for detail is just incredible, my brain can't comprehend how she puts the art on my skin. This is my 5th tattoo by Cassidy, I will not let anyone else tattoo me! Not only is she an amazingly talented artist she is a warm, genuine and kind person. She's easy to work with, open to all kinds of ideas and gives great feedback. I'm back at Atticus in 2 weeks and I already have ideas for future tattoos also. I won't go anywhere else, only Atticus. 10/10 highly recommend.
Thank you so much! We are very thankful for your lovely words and continuous support of our shop and Cassidy!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Sabrina, told her everything I wanted and she not only met my expectations she exceeded them with her beautiful use of color!! A very positive experience start to finish with Atticus Tattoo, strongly recommend!! 10/10!! Thx you Sabrina for my amazing piece of art! I love it so much.
Thank you so much for the kinds words, we are happy you enjoyed your experience with us and Sabrina!
Positive experience: I came here with my partner for a spontaneous septum piercing, both came out a bit crooked. The lady who was the peircer seemed rushed and not in a good mood, getting a bit upset with my partner when he wanted to come back with me for support, and curiosity. She did her best to do a good job, and be nice to me. Around 6 - 8 months later I came here a second time, heard news from a front desk worker, the lady who pierced my septum before, didn't work their anymore. got a nose peircing from a chill dude, who was cool with my partner coming back with me. This peircing came out perfect. Larry is an amazing piercer, I highly trust his skills. The lady's working at the front desk were very nice and helpful both times, depending what time you come it can get a bit busy, which usually doesn't last to long when so. They also sell a good peircing aftercare spray.
Thank you for the feedback :)
Fantastic experience: Kat is an amazing artist, and I love my new tattoo! Atticus is clean, welcoming, has plenty of parking and is easy to find. I highly recommend them!
Marija, thank you for your kind words! Delighted you enjoyed your experience with Kat :)
Fantastic experience: Jesse got us in on super short notice. She was quick and efficient but the quality of her tattoo is amazing! Would definitely reccomend and will be back!
Thanks, Steph! We’re glad Jesse could accommodate you and deliver amazing quality!
Fantastic experience: I got my ears re-pierced by Larry and he was amazing! He kept cracking jokes the whole time, which made the experience super fun and relaxed. He’s friendly, professional, and really knows what he’s doing. I’d definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking to get a piercing done!
Thanks, Johnny! We're glad Larry made your piercing experience fun and enjoyable at Atticus Tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Got my ears pierced today by Larry who was amazing. Knew I was pretty nervous due to past experience and that I just wanted to get it over with so he about it fast, checking in with me when I was ready. Afterwards, gave me some space to recover. Didn’t feel rushed at all and felt listened to. Feel confident leaving on how to deal with my new piercings and feel supported and know if I have any issues to reach out or come back!
Hi Arielle, Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy you felt comfortable and looked after here at Atticus. Hope to see you again :)
