Reviews of Tiki Town Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Lexi Cameron

Ashley was amazing! Super chill girl! And made me feel welcomed at tiki town! Was super gentle with her tattoo machine tattoo looks amazing

Jacqueline Bourgaize

You can trust these guys (especially Alonso Blades). They really know what they are doing! Impeccably clean and organized. Helpful and considerate. Each artist has their own style and they’ve got it all covered. @blades_ink

Roger Walker

I'm in the building quite often (they are actually across the front hallway from my favorite place) and so I drop in regularly to get ideas for my next tattoo design by looking at the artists' flash drawings. So far I have gotten tattoos from 2 of 3 artists that work here and will be getting more tattoos from them as time goes on.

Very Welcoming environment and talented artists, got my first tattoo here and it turned out great, I got a second skin put in to heal the tattoo faster, it came off the night of my tattoo so I went back and got a replacement for free, these guys are awesome!

Ghetto Swanns

Very clean and professional. They know what they are talking about. Piercings were precise and clean, makes for easy healing

Tiki Town is the place I always recommend to everyone! Everyone there is friendly (and super talented!!) therefore making the environment very welcoming. I don’t have many tattoos but I’ve gotten my two most important pieces done here. Most recently I got a piece done by Elvy after following her and the shop for a while. This place has always had great artists. The shop is also very clean and professional. It is something you will notice once you walk in and the artists will give you a quick rundown of what they’ll be using on you prior to starting your session. I hope to come back soon but for the meantime I will continue to recommend the shop to anyone looking to get tattooed!

kevin

Friendly staff. Welcomed my walk in request

clark Ruy

Got my first ever tatt done by Alex "Majik", today and him and the team there made the whole experience SUPER comfortable. I was definitely nervous since it was my first time and going alone, but everyone was super welcoming! Very professional and clean environment. Would recommend!!

Kim Evison

Service is amazing. Staff is professional and makes you feel very comfortable.

Kelsey Aquilina

Just had a tat done by Charlotte she was great so kind and gentle and did exactly what I wanted and it looks even better than I imagined! I would highly recommend!

Jenessa Taylor

I wanted a memorial tattoo done for my husband 5 years after his passing and Ashley was extremely accommodating. She was flexible with my fussing and helped make the tattoo as meaningful as possible. She even made accommodations to do it on the anniversary! Her kindness and patience made our experience worthwhile.

Abigail Rae

Completely rude staff I got there 5 minutes to opening the girl was standing in the window and said we open at 11 and wouldn't let me in and just completely rude wouldn't recommend to anybody

Taylor McDonald

I loved Tiki Town! Alex did such a great job on my shoulder! I completely intend to go and get another tattoo from him in the near future!

Hope Guenard

This place has such a fantastic staff, every single communication between myself and the shop was above and beyond. Elvy was amazing! Her work looks incredible and she's so easy to be around. She really makes you feel comfortable. My brother also got his first tattoo here with Noah and he had an amazing experience as well! I highly recommend this tattoo shop for your first.. and honestly all your tattoos :P

John Dillinger

The staff was awesome. I am definitely going back even tho I live in Edmonton now. It is worth the trip.

Gillian Dubhan

Charlotte was very accomidating and talked me through the whole picky first tattoo process. Everything is too notch and they show you the expiration dates on their brand new and sterilized equipment for your tattoo. Absolutely professional and no judgement for my quirks and fears. All the art could bring you to tears it's great.

Justin Smith

Went and got my bit of bacon from Nicole. Very friendly and of course got a great tattoo!

jesus javier serrano novelo

The best place

Ashley

It was an amazing experience. Francisco did an amazing job on my first tattoo even though we had an hour deadline (due to me forgetting most of my money at home) I'm so happy :)

George B

I would like to personally thank Alex for doing my incredible wrist tattoo. A man of a lot of artistic experience, Alex made me feel very comfortable with the whole process and operated with a level head the entire time. His music choice was stellar, his technique precise, and his friendly attitude refreshing. I would recommend any person looking for an excellent tattoo to go see him and already have to a few other friends. He will likely be my tattoo artist in the future and represents a lot of great qualities of a true artist. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

Max Radford

Great tattoo parlour, friendly staff and great artists. Got a tattoo once here before. Made an appointment the other day. And am excited to get some more ink =] Ashley is a fantastic tattooist, would recommend her work, also a great person.

Danny Cuadra

Ashley was amazing and fun, a wonderful experience for my first tattoo!

Belle B

Great vibe; very very clean. Increible talent.

Eyy Oh

Tiki Town is amazing!! I’m setting up an appointment ASAP!! Like, just go online or come inside and look at the designs....just look......just do it.......it will bless your eyes. Plus the people are really nice, obviously because of their love of tattoos. Come check it out!

Anders Von Mirbach

Amazing matching tattoo with my friend from Elvy! tattooslivingart on Instagram!

B Chivers

Awesome service all around! Enoch is an awesome artist, very happy instantly with my tattoo

william nicholson

I have to say, I had zero idea how impactful my experience with Tiki Town Tattoo would be. Charlotte the artist whom I had the pleasure of working with was amazing! Do you ever have a conversation with someone and afterwards you find yourself refreshed with how real they are? More than amazing art happens here, and I will forsure be back for more.

Sydney Hakes

Just got my first tattoo with my bff at tiki tattoo. It's beautiful and the artists were amazing. Thanks so much for making my experience such a positive one and my tattoo an incredible part of me!

Susan Mucciacito

First time getting a tattoo. Very happy with the receptionist and Noah the artist. Thankyou

Keely Jai

Elvy is INCREDIBLE. She has done all of my tattoos, and I’m always beyond happy with the result. Tiki has a great atmosphere, very clean & I love getting to go there!

Karley King

I came in for a drop in on a Sunday afternoon and I found my new place to go! Everyone I met there was so awesome and put out so much awesome vibes. Elvy is awesome and the lightest touch ever!

Skarlet79

I just went in to get an appointment. They immediately had one of the artist's looking at the tattoo I'd like to have. I have a pic on my phone. She ask me to send it to her so that she can make a drawing. I'm looking forward to get my first tattoo Sep 9th. Update: Yesterday, I finally got my Tattoo. I love it.

Vince Wishart

I have known Keith Kennedy the owner of Tiki Town for a great long while. He is a charasmatic charming bloke that has been a family friend for many years in fact he was my uncle Vic's first piercer at Jokers Wild Tattoo a few decades back. I was blessed with the opportunity to help Keith open Tiki and I stayed with him for a year until he was up and running. Now I am back again. It feels like home. I look forwards to serving you all soon. Yours Truly, Vince Vin-Zen Wish-Art

Rob Richard

I have been going to Tiki Town Tattoo And Spa since December 2012. I've had multiple tattoos done as well I am working on a complete sleeve. Robby Bowie is an amazing artist, with a great work ethic and knowledge base. The staff is friendly and very good at what they do. My wife is getting tattooed there as well. I would recommend Tiki Town for anyone who wants quality work at a decent price, from people who really care about their work. Whether it's your first time getting tattooed or you are covered in ink, you will leave happy and with a good experience.

Nikki W

Loved my tattoo from here. Nice was great, she has lots of experince, can translate your ideas well onto the drawing and then inks flawlessly.

abcdew05

Amazing experience at this shop today!! Not only an amazing tattoo by Elvy, an all over great place. Clean and friendly. Can’t wait to go back. ????????????????????????????????

Beant Paprala

Good Service , Great artist , Nice work Done over customs Tatto with in 2 hours ,,Must visit ,

Julia Babcock

Tiki town tattoo is an amazing place if you’re looking to get your first, or even your hundredth tattoo. So clean and professional. Everyone is unbelievably friendly and talented. Elvy has done 5 tattoos for me and I am always beyond thrilled with them. She is oh so talented and kind, and has this way for designing your tattoo to fit you perfectly. Every piece she has done for me has turned out better than I could have dreamed of, and I will never get tattooed anywhere else <3

T Swingendansen

I had a great experience! Elvy helped create a custom design for me for something she had not seen before, and it looked better than what I had pictured. The staff helped put me at ease when I was nervous and I got through it with a tattoo I'm in love with.

Jr Sagar

Francisco is truly a great down to earth guy that produces some of the best line work I have seen .he completed a script piece on my brother in laws forarm absolute perfection . For all your script needs come see this guy u will be happy u did .nothing but good things to say the shop was clean and all staff was down to earth and respectful I will be back 100%.

Braden

Great place to get a tattoo. I've gotten 3 tattoos here and they are great. The staff and artists are very friendly, and the shop is always clean. Plus the price is good.

D. Young

They have some very talented artists, are very hygiene oriented and treat the customers with respect. The only difficulty about this facility is getting to it during high traffic times.

Cierra Walsh

Love this tattoo shop! I had a piece done a couple years ago and loved the atmosphere and people so much that I've booked a Christmas Gift tattoo for my Dad! I love how they bring in guests artists to really help a large variety of customers.

Insomnolent belle YYC

Got my tattoo there. Staff were accommodating. Some lines were uneven though.

Payton Hooey

I got my first tattoo today and I was so nervous. Elvy made sure to draw my design a few times until it was everything I wanted. She walked me through the process and told me how clean everything is and the precautions they were taking. The tattoo took about 45 minutes but the time few by so fast since she was so easy to talk to. I was so happy with the finished product, it was better then I imagined! Thank you so much Elvy, I will defiantly be coming back for more tattoos☺️

Alexander Moseley

Awesome experience! I just had my first session with Alonso Blades, his just starting out. The shop is clean and has great customer service. Have my second session booked, cannot wait. Alonso was professional and is a great asset to the shop. He took the time to show me that everything used was coming out of sealed packages and sterile for use. Shop has good practice and fantastic artists. Several artists took the time to help and give advice to Alonso. The atmosphere is positive and everyone wants to ensure you get the best tattoo possible. I went with an open mind to my concept and was given plenty of opportunities to discuss changes and finalize the piece. I was not let down one bit. I would suggest getting Instagram as it is a great tool to be in contact with artist directly. I have asked for advice on my tattoo (i.e caring for tattoo) and have been contacted promptly with info. Good shop, good people. Keep up the good work.

Meg Hasek-Watt

I've had nothing but amazing experiences and visits at Tiki Town Tattoos. I've had tattoos done by both Nicole and Francisco, and I keep returning for more because they're both just so awesome. Talented, so so so skilled, creative, artistic, friendly, funny, professional, and cleanest shop I've been in (and I've been in several across the country). I just am so grateful to have been referred to see Nicole last year, and to have connected with the fab team at Tiki Town Tattoos here in Calgary.

Aliyah Goodale

Super amazing and nice! Loved the tattoo & my artist was super fast!

Autumn Colenutt

Our artist was Such a down to earth person with endless talent. Ours was a walk in and the Only place in Calgary that would take us. Made our day special. Staff was wonderful, awesome vibes.

Sheldon Metzger

I just got a tattoo done by Francisc

kr

Elvy did my first tattoo yesterday and it turned out amazing, I'm so happy with it. She is so kind, funny, and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole process! I'll definitely be going back to her :)

Travis Newinger

Francisco did an awesome job on my first tattoo. Gave him a general idea of what I wanted an he created something awesome. Highly suggest this place if you need work done. Cheers

Brooke Wiseman

I have gotten 10 tattoos in my life, all from different artists. I have to say my experience with Ashley was, hands down, the best I've had. If you haven't yet, you should give her a go. Her passion for her craft truly shows.

Brianna Gilchrist

We had a great experience with this shop. My mother and I came to get tattoos and they were very accommodating. We are from across the country and had a flight leaving later in the day and they were able to fit us in. The receptionist and Ashley were awesome! Love our tattoos! They even called to check how we were doing a week later! Great service.

Paris Webb

despite the fact staff was welcoming and took myself as well as my best friend in for a walk i have been majorly disappointed by the art now thats now forever on my arm. my friends small rose tattoo was done beautifully. However during my session i heard the artist say oups under his breath at least twice. i tried not to think much of it and left the shop content with the job done. now that my tattoo is healed i am finding more and more mistakes daily. The older gent who did both mine & my friends work spent quite a few minutes explaining how he did not like the look of people extending the middle line of a leaf outside of itself. i agreed at the time. looking at the leaf by my armpit one of the lines goes right out of a leaf and fades into my armpit. Not to mention a good toonie sized area looking horrible as lines were overlapped in attempt to fix how shaky they looked. almost all the smaller detail lines inside my flower are honestly all shaky and non look clean and strait. i now have to go to my regular artist here in Edmonton and have it touched up significantly. i have learned my lesson on researching your artist before deciding to go. although this was a spontaneous trip down to Calgary & a walk in tattoo i am extremely disappointed with the tattoo i now have to pay to get fixed. i have only given two stars as the place was very clean and the staff was all very welcoming, other then that my experience was nothing short of a shotty job with "oups" being where i should have got up and left.

Alyssa Wiebe

Awesome place. Very clean, friendly and professional. I recommend Kyla! Did a great job and has a awesome portfolio!!!

wayne milbrandt

LV is a fantastic artist. And I would come here again. Place is very clean and I would follow covid restrictions

Karen Ferreira

They do amazing work

Mélanie Pelosse

The entire staff, that I have dealt with, are very professional, polite and immensly friendly. Noah, my tattoo artist is exceedingly talented, meticulous and motivated. I'm recommending Tiki Town 10/10!

Dee Dee Kay

From start to finish I would say that Tiki Town ensures customer care and satisfaction. I had Enoch as my artist and he was fabulous. He made sure that my tattoo was exactly what I wanted. When I was unsure, we collaborated. When I was done and leaving, the young woman (Chantee) at the front desk checked in to see how it went. Excellent customer service.

Mackenzie Jantz

very nice artists that take their time and listen. give you breaks when you ask and super friendly in general

Ashley Dilmore

I got a tattoo from here about a year ago it's a nice environment and the people are really nice. Although I was not pleased that while I was getting my tattoo the artist stopped not even half way through and kept me waiting for 30 minuets. The finished product was not amazing it was medeocre I am planning on having it either removed or covered up in the next year. Anyone looking at getting a tattoo at this shop please keep this in mind. Not going to lie there are better shops in Calgary.

lyle knight

I have been getting tattooed since I was 16 and by a few different people always an ok job and ok atmosphere but comeing into tiki town was far above and beyond that!!!! Right from walking in talking to the receptionist to the owner who sat with us and talked as I got inked to my gf tattoo artist Nicole and last but definitely not least my tattoo artist and now the only one I'll ever go to again Francisco absolutely amazing at his job !!!! So easy to get along with funny and very patient with a painful tattoo!!!! He along with his fellow employees made this my biggest and most painful tattoo by far the best experience I have ever had in a tattoo chair !!! I will most definitely be comeing back for years to come !!!! Thanks again Francisco you rock brother !!!!!

Carter Sieben

I have a tattoo from each of their artists and I look forward to every time I go there, everyone’s welcoming and the end product is worth every penny every time!

simone pouponneau

Tiki town is by far the best place I've ever gone too. Amazing work by artist Franciso , super cool dude and ever cooler work. Defiantly reccomend hitting him up for some work

Arianna Armstrong

Great place, very clean good artists

J M

Extremely clean, friendly staff. Noah and Elvi are incredible.

Tajee Jones

Great out of town experience. My lady and I felt taken care of and love our tattoos. I do recommend.

Anton La Realeza

Francisco is the go to man he works fast his work is amazing never fails to impress me ! I personally recommend him .

Laura Laanstra

I am writing this to the manager of your establishment. This morning my son made an appointment early on in the day. He explained to the girl that it was his birthday and told her exactly what he wanted done. There was 2 small things he wanted, and one was a fill in of a cross that your business had done. She stated that this was NO PROBLEM and booked him in for 1:00 p.m. Since it was his birthday I said I would take time off, drive him and then do lunch. We arrived precisely on time and told her we were there and you could tell that she had "forgotten" to write him in, and had screwed up. She had booked a consult. She went to get the tattoo artist from the back, and instead of telling him she screwed up we were told that we could come back in 3 and a half hours!!!! This is NOT the way to do business or to treat customers! Especially as we had pre booked, he told her it was his birthday, and we drove across town to go!! There was no apologies from her, she just let us walk out while again making some sort of excuse. Thanks very much for a horrible experience and a not so great 20th birthday afternoon for my son.

Alexandra Urbieta

The service is very nice and the staff is good and profesional. Definitely I’ll come back again

Katalyn Jansen

Went and saw Ashley for a small piece abive my ankle, very clean and friendly atmosphere, will be returning for touchups as its a solid black small detailed piece, cant wait to see it healed!

Kay018

Very clean and professional, talked us through the design and made it quick and as painless as possible. Would definitely go again!

Michelle H

I started my tattoo yesterday with Kyla and it has been my best experience with getting a tattoo (I have three other tattoos from three different artist). I was really nervous about this tattoo because it is my first custom and the biggest one I have, but Kyla did an amazing job on the design and I'm so stocked to get it finished! Not only did I really like Kyla, but the rest of the staff were really nice and fun to talk with and I found the atmosphere in the parlour very relaxing.

Debbie Onos

Went in for new spacers and they were very short on product. They were very helpful and willing to put the new earrings in for me, just a shame they had no stock and nothing really to offer. Hopefully the next time I need to get new ones put in, they will have more stock

Sara Gillett

Amazing staff, clean, welcoming, and highly recommend

Grayson Parker

Got my first tattoo today and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Francisco is a great artist and very nice.

Trish Beairsto

After many years of contemplation, I finally got the nerve to get a couple of tattoos, nothing fancy just a couple of words that had great meaning to me. Nicole spent some time with me to discuss my options and directed me on my best choice! She is a wonderful artist and a great person! Thank you!!!

Victoria Pritchard

Fantastic artist, super thrilled with my new tattoo.

Brookie Cake

I had an amazing time with Elvy! Love my tattoo and may have found my new favourite artist ????

whitney ottway

I just went here this morning for walk in. Staff is friendly. The place is clean. My sister got her first tattoo, they were really good with her and caring. We both got small tattoos on our wrists. Highly recommended.

Larry Tremblay

Had a tattoo I've wanted for a long time. I did my research and wanted the best shop and artist for the job. I seen Francisco doing a tattoo at Calgary tattoo festival and knew I found the artist for what I wanted. Black and white piece. It didn't take long I got my tattoo done. All the staff and facilities were top notch and VERY CLEAN! I was treated very well and Francisco did an AMAZING JOB!!! VERY HAPPY AND IMPRESSED!!! I'd recommend Tiki Town to everyone! I'll be back! Thanks Francisco and staff! ????????

Alex Mortem

Had some amazing tattoos done here, but when I looked at my artists Instagram page, he made fun of all of my tattoos including one that is very personal to me. This is extremely unprofessional I will never give them my money again. I dont need to be made fun of behind my back.

Taylah Sherd

Ashlee was amazing!! She was super gentle and more than happy to change the stencil and flip my design around! I was super comfortable with her and would highly recommend getting tattooed by her!!

Monica Conaway

The entire staff is very friendly and professional. Elvy is my artist there, and does excellent work!

omg (goldfish)

great service

Penny Willison

Awesome place..staff is very helpful. Will be back soon.

Jenna D

amazing people, my tattoo turned out so well and I was given a lot of information on how to take care of it. The staff is very professional and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Sarah Lowndes

Seriously the staff in this place are amazing. They know what they are doing. The flower work that I got done looks hand painted and real. Do yourself a huge favor and only go here.

Kerri Sillito

Very pleasant staff, listen to your ideas and then draw up your tattoo

Haley Hawes

Got a very poorly done tattoo here and they refuse to answer my emails in regards to removal process etc. After a month I got a reply to this google review telling me to email the manager and now a month later she still hasn’t even bothered to reply. Very very disappointed I put my trust into this company.

Emily McGregor

AMAZING work. I'm so impressed, will definitely be returning to this shop ????❤️
