Had a few tattoos done by Alice, awesome experience. Great work, professional and comfortable. Did an excellent job at making sure I was ready to go before starting. Awesome workspace and great people!
I have switched tattoo artists due to lack of professionalism. This shop is awesome with the staffing. Individual rooms for tattooing and my artist even had Netflix set up. So I could watch Netflix during my tattoo. I love my artist Dana. We bounced ideas off each other for placements and artwork. The tattoo she presented was stellar and is going to be gorgeous.
Got ink'd today by Aza! Couldn't be happier. Thanks again!
Steve is currently doing my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sleeve. His work is phenomenal, it's clean end he doesn't push you to tattoo more than you can take. Highly recommend going here for your tattoos. Can't wait for my sleeve to be done!
Got stabbed by Brad, music was great. 10/10
Very welcoming establishment of Such high quality talent, range and innovative work. Such a positive atmosphere of creativity!
The best place to go in the city for the raddest tattoos!
I absolutely love this tattoo shop and how humble the artists are and how talented they are! I have known all of the artists for a long time and have had 2/4 of them work on me. I have always been happy with my pieces , the healing process and I enjoy how sanitary the environment is. It’s deifinantly a fun real dynamic for a shop , always accepting of others. I really feel like home here and that’s important when you recieve 4-7 hours of tattoo time! I recommend this place always, and these are the people you want tattoos from!! -thanks
The artists here are fantastic, open, and very welcoming. Stellar work and a a stellar shop all around.
All around I had an amazing experience, I have a tattoo I've dreamed of for years and honestly it come out better than I could have ever imagined. If your a first timer or are heavily inked like me this shop will look out for your needs.
Carys Woodbury was the artist I've been seeing and her quirky, colorful, and imaginative art is a delight! She was very accommodating, professional, and accomplished.
Nothing but awesome things to say about everyone here. Having a full sleeve done by Steve and it's absolutely perfect. The suggestions he's given have turned out amazing and it's just a wonderful experience getting a tattoo done here. Everyone here gives 200% and are always posting and updating their social media.
Lower leg complete thanks Steve its amazing as always
Got tattooed today by @caryscuttlefish She was pleasant to work with and designed a custom tattoo that was better than I imagined. She was very nice and cute and helpful. Her machine was quiet and with light strokes made for a comfortable tattoo even though it was on my throat. She even offered me vegan snacks that was much appreciated and more artists should do this! I also received a cute care package after the tattoo that included aftercare and some of her art plus little capsules with fortunes in them. 10/10 the rest of the staff were friendly and chill. And the shop had a good vibe. Definitely check these dudes out !
Got a awesome tattoo from Carey (sorry if I spelt it wrong) the atmosphere of this place is fun and comfortable highly recommended!
Got a cute little tattoo done by the wonderful Carys! She was super sweet, and charismatic. Go see her if you love fun chats, singing, and lots of laughs! Everyone in the shop was super friendly, and welcoming. Will definitely be back for more!
After having a couples tattoos done elsewhere that turned out different than I wanted I was tentative to get another one. Dana and Pure Imagination Tattoo have made my experience getting my new tattoo so wonderful! Dana created exactly what I was imagining in my head and sent a sketch of it to me weeks before my tattoo was scheduled. I expressed my concerns with having the tattoo too dark or the line work too thick and she gave me all my options for avoiding that yet still making the tattoo look great! She was extremely kind and professional throughout the entire experience... from messaging me back quickly leading up to the tattoo, to being on time, quick and efficient with the actual tattoo process. The whole process has ignited my love to tattoos again. 10/10 would recommend Dana and Pure Imagination Tattoo.
Carys is wonderful and gentle and easy to talk to. She did an amazing job on my tattoo!
I've had two fantastic tattoos done at this shop by Kieran. The atmosphere of the shop is very friendly and the work is exceptional. They keep each studio very clean and well lit and the artist explained everything being done from stencil to aftercare. you absolutly cannot go wrong with any artist from Pure Imagination.
Such a great atmosphere and even greater artists!! 10/10 highly recommended if you want quality ink at a good price
Pure Imagination Tattoo is a clean and friendly studio. My sister and her husband recommended I go here for my first anime tattoo and recommended Kabs. He made sure the environment was clean and sanitized. The piece he drew up came out so amazing. I was thoroughly impressed with his work. If you’re looking for an artist who does good anime work, Kabs is your guy! I will definitely be back for work in the future ???? PS the tattoo is not finished but I will include a photo!
Came here as a client of Dana when she was at another shop. Dana is fantastic to work with. Great times on doing the work also. I consider her my tattooist.
I found Dana on a blog of Edmonton's best artists and had to track her down since she had moved studios since the post. Initially I had to coordinate with her from another province, and she was very helpful, the design she came up with was exactly what I'd had in mind and I only had one small tweak. Going in for the tattoo she was very professional and did an excellent job. I sat for 2 sessions (lines and color) and she was great the whole time, not particularly chatty but that was okay because neither am I. She did answer any questions I'd had thoroughly which was lovely. I am very happy with her work and I'm just going through the healing process from the color, so far it continues to look great. Recommending her 100% to anyone looking for some work done! The studio itself is clean and maintained with a great atmosphere to settle into. A little on the other artists: Carys - She has a very fun and cute energy. She was very chatty with her clients and helped them settle into the chair with ease. I saw her sit with two clients and both were very happy with their work. Good luck and congrats on your graduation this January! Steve - Steve is the shop owner and DJ. I didn't interact with him much, but when he wasn't busy working with his own clients or on his own drawings, he would float around and check on everyone, make sure they were okay and didn't need anything. He has tons of wicked art in his corner and besides that I didn't get to know him all that well. Summary: Fantastic and talented team!! Thank you!
I had the most amazing experience today with Brad! I got a piece that is fantastic and have a shop with very talented artists to recommend when asked where is a good place
Absolutely amazing bunch of artists, highly recommended, super friendly and inviting, Brad did a portrait tattoo for my hubby of his mother whom recently passed, did amazing! Alice did mine and I love it! Just overall a great bunch of people and talented artist!
Clean, friendly, fun! Careyscuttlefish was wonderful! SO kind, SO gentle, helped waylay my anxiety right off the bat. Thank you thank you thank you! ???????????? I love it so much!
Steve is awesome, what a shop should be, humble and what I consider a traditional "tattoo shop" Ten stars ***********
Got an amazing piece from Steve. Great guy, he was friendly, and professional throughout. Shop is great, very well kept, and has a lot of personality. I highly recommend checking them out. Would definently return in the future.
I was referred to Kabs by my brother, he had gotten a tattoo from him a few years ago which looked pretty awesome so I was sure that he could conceptualize my idea. He was really helpful through the whole process, he would suggest ideas to add to the tattoo to make the idea even better. On the day of my appointment, he was very accommodating and put on a mask before we started even though the mandate was lifted simply because I was wearing a mask. The atmosphere was very fun, safe and clean. It felt very friendly and non judgmental. Plenty of his coworkers checked in throughout the process and were all very supportive and uplifting. In addition, he has plenty of art and little trinkets on his wall so you'll always have something to look at! Very well deserved 5 stars.
Carys Cuttlefish is not just a talented artist, but also amazing with customer service and taking care of her customers. You may come in as a stranger, but you will leave a friend.
I used to follow Steve's art at his previous job and fell in love with a piece of flash years ago. I held off getting it as I had a couple of changes I wanted to make and wasn't familiar with tattoo etiquette. After seeing Steve opened a new shop, and seeing the image was still available I decided to go for it. And I've received nothing but compliments since. Steve was willing to make some minor changes to the original artwork to better suit my style. The shop was clean and everyone was incredibly polite at both my consult and tattoo appointments. Communication was incredibly easy through Instagram, and the whole administrative process was pretty painless. I still feel like I made out on the better end of the deal for what I paid, and I will be sending people in their direction for any future work, myself included.
Pure Imagination is a great shop, with a great location! Easy to find and very friendly atmosphere. I have been getting Tattooed by Steve since 2015; I enjoy how easy it is too book with anyone at the shop and response times are always satisfactory! Very easy, and stress free process!
Fantastic. Great atmosphere, nice and cozy. All of the artists are such good people, so nice and easy to talk to. Thank you, guys
I contacted Steve about getting a wolf tattooed on my arm. Initially, I was nervous about how the wolf's face would turn out - especially the eyes, but Steve totally nailed it! I couldn't be happier with my new piece. I will 100% be getting more work done by Steve.
Love the work of AiceQuinn tattoos. This tattoo studio is warm and inviting, all the artist are very nice and welcoming. Would highly recommend getting inked here
Had a wonderful tattoo done by an amazing artist here (Carys). The shop is clean and cozy, the artists are fun and easy-going, and the work is professional. I will definitely be going back, and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get their first or 50th tattoo.
Got a tattoo from Carys Cuttlefish. She is an amazing artist. From the first time I spoke with her to book the appointment right up to the appointment day. She was so easy to work with coming up with a design and placement. Her work is amazing. I am so happy with the final product. The shop is so nice and the owner was awesome and helped with the placement. I highly recommend Pure imagination. I be going back for another tattoo in the future. Thank you for the amazing tattoo.
Brad did a sick and original Avenged Sevenfold deathbat for me and it turned out amazing. The dude took the time to spit out some ideas with me and we went with it. Can't wait for the next one!
Steve's been a pleasure to deal with. Very accommodating and skilled at what he does. He takes the time to understand your vision for your tattoo then he works his magic to create something you're proud to show off. The shop is also clean and well decorated. Very welcoming vibe. The other artists are friendly and skilled as well. Highly recommend checking these guys out!
Clean, profesional. talented, & friendly. Great group of artists. I highly recommend checking out this shop
The studio had such a great atmosphere, and the people were so welcoming and friendly. Really amazing work done by the artist.
Great shop in Edmonton. Met with the Kieran this afternoon and was blown away at how well my piece turned out. For my first tattoo experience they are a very informed and welcoming shop. Very pleasant experience and will defiantly be returning
Really impressed with this shop! Was greeted upon my arrival as if I were an old friend, which is a welcoming exchange. The three artists are all talented in their own unique styles and quirky personalities which complement each other and make this shop feel like a home away from home. My tattoo experience was just elevated to a whole other level! There was some candy provided by the shop for when my energy levels were running low and Carys was very understanding and versatile to my needs during the process. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the end result and the attention to aftercare instructions so I could avoid any ill fate to my fresh tattoo. I went home happier than before I arrived. I highly recommend this shop and setting your future appointment with Steve, Dana and Carys!
Great atmosphere, great artists, amazing work. Would recomend to anyone and everyone. :)
Amazing studio and great staff!!
This weekend I got the most Kawaii, adorable, sweetest, cutest and best tattoo to date. Carys hand drew a Krampus (Belsnickle) for me from a poorly explained idea. She magically figured out exactly what I was going for and not only sent me a sketch prior to me coming but a full color version as well! The tattoo itself went very well. Carys is light handed and checks in with how you're doing frequently. She enforced a few breaks when she noticed I was powering through and even realized that I have a color sensitivity. Near the end when I was flagging hard, she talked me through it. It's hard to focus on how much it hurts when you're trying not to move from laughing so hard. I've never been one to commit to just one artist but Carys has won me over. Take my money Carys!!!
The space they've created here is super chill and relaxing. The artists are so personable and the decor is great ^o^! Definetly a hidden gem in Edmonton. In particular watch out for CarrysCuttlefish, the apprentice here. Had two pieces done by her and it was a wonderful experience and the pieces turned out beautifully!
The staff are all incredibly welcoming and friendly and their art is simply amazing! Coming here was an awesome experience, and I would definitely come here again. Brad was very helpful explaining everything to me as it was my very first tattoo, and his art is incredible.
Amazing shop! It is so welcoming and beautifully set up. Steve was my artist and I couldn't be happier with how my tattoo was done, from the process to the finished product. Steve made sure I was comfortable and felt safe. I didn't have a great first experience with tattoo's but this was a complete turn around. The location is great with a parking lot beside it and it's easily accessible. Would highly highly recommend Steve and this shop!!
Been to a few tattoo artists and won’t go back to anyone but Steve. As an artist he’s very detailed, quick and all his work has been better than expected for me. He’s done my biggest pieces and I ask myself often why in between I ever went to anyone else. I’d been to a few artists and shops and none can compare to the atmosphere of this one all around. Thanks Steve!
I absolutely fell in love with Cary's artwork when looking for a new artist to work with. I emailed her talking about a concept I was playing around with in my head. She got back to me very quickly, and was totally on board with my idea. I sent my deposit and we booked the appointment! I gave her a few things I wanted in the tattoo but gave her artistic freedom for the rest. She sent me a rough sketch to see what I thought and if I wanted any changes made. I was blown away! Absolutely in love with it. No changes needed! She sent me the colored version, my absolute favorite piece of artwork. I showed up to my tattoo appointment, the tattoo went very well! She made sure to check in on how I was doing, we took breaks to stretch. 5 hours flew by. She was a perfectionist and a professional in every aspect of my tattoo. Will definitely be getting her to do another original down the road! Beautiful soul and a talented artist! Absolutely in love with my new tattoo! Thanks again Cary!
I had the most wonderful experience with Steve today. He was professional, clean, upfront and very easy to talk to. The best experience I have ever had at any tattoo shop. I will be back. And Steve, if you're reading this; THANK YOU. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.
Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Carys today. She did an amazing piece, responded quick to any questions and inquiries and I had a great time!
I had the most wonderful experience with Carys on Dec.21 - it was my birthday and she designed a Krampus tattoo for me! I seriously couldn't be happier with the treatment and service I got from her and everyone else in Pure Imagination. The lines are perfect, he looks badass and spooky just like I wanted and I can't wait to come back for more! If you're looking for some horror style ink or pokemon cartoons Carys is the lady to see!! She gave me snacks, juice and the most adorable after care kit designed by her and it matches her style and booth :)
Can't say enough great things about my experience here! Amosphere is awesome and so are the staff! I had a great time with Carys and love the work that she did! I WILL be back for sure!
Steve did an incredible job on my quarter sleeve. Colors are vivid, details are very specific and he's always a great chat. Love the look of the new studio and can't wait to come back and start a new piece !
Finally found a tattoo shop that stands true to what real artistry is all about. From great customer service,to a clean and cool vibe, I would recommend getting your next piece done here. Welcomed by Artist and owner Steve who is a well dressed professional guy with abundance of great skills. Another wicked artist, Alice such a kind lil squirrel ???? BUT my props go to Kabs as he is who I have chosen to do all my tattoos. He has worked on me 3 times now. Loving his work. Nice hand, attention to detail and a true artist. Young new artist with a great career ahead of him...check him out.....do it!
The staff here is very friendly and professional. The shop is clean and well kept. My artist is Carys and she did an amazing job! My tattoo is beautiful! Carys is very professional & friendly & made the experience enjoyable. I will definitely be back to see her again!
Had a wonderful experience there! Carys is a very very talented artist and everyone I met was very friendly, approachable and very hospitable. I will definitely be back again.
Great shop with great people! My cousin and I went in for matching tats and were pleasantly surprised when we walked through the doors for our first time; the staff is so nice, so fun and funny, and made us feel very comfortable. We'll definitely be back!
Steve was very professional and did great work. His needles weren't quite as nice. Lol. I will be going back for sure.
Everything you would want out of a tattoo experience and so much more. I highly recommend this shop to anyone seeking a calming and comfortable environment with artists who are extremely talented, well educated, thourough and accommodating. I will be returning to Pure Imagination for all of my future tattoo needs.
Relaxed environment where everyone is joking around having a good time yet pumping out some really Steller, professional art work! Would highly recommend.
I went in for a tattoo from the shop apprentice, Carys. She was very professional, and sweet. Steve was also there working on a client. The atmosphere was relaxed. We were able to have a group chat during my visit, or chat amongst ourselves. The shop was super clean. I'm loving the artwork up on the walls, it really brings out their personalities. Steve came over a few times to check on the work Carys was doing. I appreciate that he was informative, and super supportive. I was very comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend. Much wow!
I’m a huge Halloween lover, and have wanted a tattoo to show that for years, but while still showing my personality as well, so I finally got it today. Steve did an amazing job! The experience was great as well, he was so nice and made sure I knew that if I felt it was starting to hurt too much and I needed to take a break that it was totally fine and that there was no rush. There were some tweaks I wanted made from the original picture I had and he nailed them perfectly! I love it so much, it’s absolutely adorable!
I found this parlor after looking at tattoo parlors in Edmonton and their artists. I looked at the portfolios for the artists at this shop and each one has a unique style. I sought out Steve, the owner of this shop, for his colour, character work on large pieces like sleeves. Super easy to get a consult, very fair prices, and the parlor itself is very clean and tidy. Steve is an awesome artist himself and has helped complete the sleeve of my dreams. If you are going to get a tattoo, Pure Imagination Tattoo Collectove should be at the top of your list!
Steve is amazing he recently touched up a tattoo he did for me 7 years ago hes fun easy to get along with honest and he does great work im never disappointed with his work or art before and after pics added
Super fast, clean, felt really taken care of and I got part of an amazing mother-daughter tattoo! Really happy ????
Went in for a walk in halloween special today. Had to wait abit, but that's to be expected on walk in day. Steve did my tattoo and it turned out amazing! Nice deep color, perfect outlining! Will recommend to anybody, and very comfy atmosphere haha.
Great staff, especially Dana !
My tattoo was done by kabs and I couldn’t have had a better experience. He is absolutely incredible and my tattoo came out better then I ever imagined. It’s a super clean professional studio and I would 100% recommend!!
Went for a fun little flash piece from Steve and my experience was spectacular, from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Not only was the shop beautifully decorated and clean, but all the artists gave the air that they were happy to be there. Just an overall amazing and fun experience. I would 1000% recommend anyone in this shop. I’ll definitely be back!
I was at Pure Imagination Tattoo last week, I had booked an appointment after an online consultation with my artist, Carys Cuttlefish. A few days before my appointment she sent me a sketch, which she happily tweaked for me after I got a look at it, and then sent a full color rendering so I knew (more or less) exactly what I would be getting! I've detailed my experience below: The Shop: The shop is located in a quiet professional building. I found it easy to get to and there is ample free parking close to the door. There are some stairs to get up to the shop (not sure if there is a wheelchair accessible door for those unable to use stairs). When you walk into the shop the atmosphere is professional, but also relaxed. Every artist has their own space, decorated with their own art and to their own style. I appreciated being able to get an idea of all the artists own style, and it was a cool way to separate the open shop into a more homey environment. I was immediately greeted by everyone in the shop, and they made me feel welcome while my artist was setting up. Throughout my appointment there was ample conversation with both my artist as well as the other artists and clients in the shop. The conversation was fun and respectful, and I enjoyed the light and upbeat atmosphere it created. My Artist: My appointment was with the shop apprentice, Carys. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, Carys was smiling and genuinely happy to be there and to be working on my tattoo. I was really excited by some of her previous tattoos and had asked for one in a similar style, and the sketch and following rendering she provided me before coming in were amazing! It left no doubt in my mind that Carys could easily bring an idle thought of mine into an amazing tattoo that will be with me forever. Throughout the appointment Carys was polite and friendly, always making sure I was comfortable and happy to stop whenever I needed a break. She also gets very excited when she starts to see the tattoo coming together, which made it exciting for me as well! Overall: I was very happy with the way my time at Pure Imagination went. I'm looking forward to coming back again to more awesome art, and would highly recommend for anyone looking for an awesome tattoo experience to take a look at the artists here!
Great atmosphere and super clean. Will be back for more tattoos!!!
This was my first tattoo and after much research I decided on Pure Imagination Tattoo Collective. I am so glad I did! Dana created my tattoo exactly as I wanted and I could not be happier with the result. Dana is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and a fantastic artist. The collective was a friendly welcoming atmosphere and spotlessly clean. Hygiene is obviously very high on their list of priorities and I felt very safe even at this crazy time of Covid. I highly recommend both the shop and especially Dana. So much so, I have already booked for my second tattoo!
Got my leg tatted by Kabs, he does amazing work and is very talented. Kept the environment as controlled as it could possibly be very clean and efficient! This artist has very good attention to detail and is very meticulous. I am beyond proud of his work that he did on me thank you guys a lot again!????
I went to Carys to get one of her gorgeous flash pieces. I had such a great tattoo experience. She did an amazing job and was so great to talk to. Everyone else I saw in the shop was very friendly as well. I highly recommend!
Brad is the bomb! Made everything easy for me and did a great job on my tattoo. Quality artwork. The artists are all entertaining!
Steve is one of the kindest and most talented person I’ve met. He is dedicated to his craft and it shows in his entire world. He is professional and educated in the tattooing world and is terribly handsome and funny so even while it’s hurts to see him it won’t hurt the eyes. He is not heavy handed but still does amazing colour work that’s really lasts. His lines are solid and his colour knowledge is amazing. he listens to what you want with the benefit of being extremely artistically talented to created what I could only imagine. I love having his work on me and can’t wait for more.
The best tattoo shop in Edmonton! Alice is a top notch tattoo artist who is amazing at her craft and the rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming as well. They are all very responsible with the cleanliness of the space. The best atmosphere to get a tattoo in, hands down!
Fantastic shop with amazing artists. Highly recommend paying them a visit. Brad has been doing my work for a few years now, wont see anyone else, check out his work.
Great atmosphere, Awesome artists, clean , welcoming, private rooms. Very welcoming when you first walk in . I reccomend this place
My guy and I were tattooed by Steve and hes amazing. I've been seeing steve for my tattoos for 11 years and he never disappoints with his art work and quality.
Dana, you rock! Wow, you did an amazing job making my ideas become reality and allowing the vision I was hoping actually turn out to be much more than I could imagine. Thank you soo much!
I had a wrap around laurel wreath done by Kabs, hes an apprentice but you wouldn’t know that based on these crisp lines. It turned out amazing. Shop was clean, calm atmosphere and everyone was very friendly, 10/10 would recommend
I must say this is probably the best tattoo experience I have ever had. The shop is so warm and inviting with super friendly staff. The artwork is amazing and you get above and beyond the value of price for the quality of work. Great contests and promotions, all in all a super great shop. Book now! They are gonna be bussssy ! Don’t think, just book your tattoo!
Alice did the first portion of my sleeve and did an amazing job. Very happy with the work, great conversations her and with all the other employees. She worked fast but her detailing was fantastic!!
Stumbled upon this little gem while looking for a tattoo shop that was well received. The artists are so kind and welcoming,had the pleasure of meeting the owner Steve as well as getting a tattoo by the lovely Cary,both of whom were very hospitable. Overall im very satisfied with my visit to Pure Imagination, if your looking to get a new tattoo i defiantly recommend checking them out,you wont be disappointed!
Steve is a talented artist who puts you at ease while tattooing and is great to deal with from beginning to end. He listens to the ideas I have and gives positive responses to make sure I get the best tattoo and experience possible. The machines he uses are quiet so you can have a conversation with him at a normal tone. First time at Pure Imagination Tattoo, parking lot is close to the entrance of the building and not congested. Although not as easy to find as it does not have a ginormous sign above the entrance like your typical street front tattoo shop, it's subtle signage gives a preview of what you will find inside. Pure Imagination has a professional, calm and relaxing atmosphere. Clean, subtle and low key with no unnecessary distractions like a constantly ringing phone, fish tanks or piercing studio. The artwork on the walls shows the quality of artists working here. This is the place get quality artwork tattooed at a price that should be higher.
Awesome shop, seen Kabs for my second piece, and it turned out great, love the colour and shading :) super clean, and friendly. Recommend seeing him.
Im such a fan of Carys and how she has grown as a artist! I'm glad to say I have two beautiful pieces from her and looking forward to more. As for the shop itself it's a nice set up where each artist has their own room so you never feel overwhelmed by anyone else, it's just you and your artist.
I got a designed piece tattooed by Carys, she is such an amazing artist and her style is outstanding! Anyone looking for a cute, dark or spooky tattoo should send her a message! ????
Steve did afantastic job on a very special piece. He is talented in both the art on the skin and the lost art of conversation. All the artists I met there contributed to an excellent experience. Namaste ????
I had an amazing experience with Dana my half sleeve was everything I wanted and more. Her artwork is incredible and the atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable.
Awesome studio to get tattooed at! Brad is an amazing artist and very personable!
Went in for both the consultation and tattoo and had an amazing experience. Aza did an amazing job on my tattoo! The studio is clean, welcoming and very professional. Would definitely recommend!
I got a really cute flash peice done by carys! I'm really happy with how it turned out really nice. I love her cute designs. She was thorough and clean with her station Highly recommended.
Today was the first time I have been at Pure Imagination. From the second I walked in to the moment I left I was treated with nothing but dignity and respect. As it is the first time I have gotten a tattoo, Brad walked me through every step, from what he was doing to aftercare. Brad took the ideas I had given him and created a custom tattoo from them. I highly recommend this shop for all your tattoo needs. Wonderful artists who definitely care about their customers. I will definitely be back for another tattoo.... Was back to see Brad today for my second tattoo. Again amazing treatment from second I walked in the door. Pure professionalism from all of the staff. If you are wanting a tattoo this is definitely the place to go!!
Always a great time being tattooed by Aza! His work is amazing and he nails it everytime. This was my first time being tattooed at Pure Imagination and the studio is awesome. Very clean and artists having their own room makes the experience much more personal. Thanks again!
I would highly recommend getting a tattoo from Pure imagination. Clean and professional atmosphere not to mention very talented artists. Had a great time getting work done by Steve, he was very passionate about my piece and did an amazing job on it!
My favorite tattoo shop in the city! Steve has done numerous pieces on me and I'm in love with every one of them. He's really easy going and great to chat with, making the whole experience as comfortable as possible. Steve has a passion for his artwork so you can trust him to put all of that into your piece. The shop is professional and clean, and the prices are more than fair. You will forever love the lifelong artwork you receive from Steve or any of the talented artists at Pure Imagination.
I had the absolute pleasure of getting an adorable tattoo from Carys at Pure Imagination Tattoo today and it was by far the BEST tattoo experience I’ve ever had! Carys is extremely kind and has the best customer service skills I’ve ever experienced. She was very attentive and made sure I was always comfortable and checking in with me throughout the tattoo. She even gave me some snacks to keep me going half way through! And her talent is out of this world of course! Everyone go see her for your next tattoo you will not be disappointed!!!
Great experience, with Steve, full day session, lots of breaks, captured exactly what I wanted in the piece. Wil definitely be getting another piece done here.
I got a tatoo done by Carys a few weeks ago. Its adorable, she's an amazing artist and she made the process go as smoothly as possible. Professional and extremely clean shop.
Good professional place. Aza took my idea and made it true art. I'd recommend it to anyone willing to listen.
Great place super polite and professional. Thanks Steve.
This was my first "serious" tattoo and overall I enjoyed the experience and loved the final product. Steve was really good at guiding me through the process and producing an image that represented everything I was looking for. I recommend it 100% and will very likely be coming back for more!
The best staff. Customer service is second to none. If you are looking for a good tattoo by some awesome people this is the place.
This shop is awesome and clean! I had the joy of having aza tattoo me and we had a blast he kept me distracted through the worst parts. We had lots of good convos. And the tattoo it is top notch I can’t even put into words how beautiful it is! Such crisp line work! If your looking for a clean reliable chill tattoo shop they are your go to!
Came here to get tattooed by Brad and it was excellent. Very clean and professional environment in the shop. Steve is very friendly. Looking forward to my next session. Have been tattoed by steve in the past, was also very happy with my tattoo from him
Steve did an amazing job designing my freehand tattoo
Pure imagination tattoo is a phenomenal shop, the artists there are very friendly, very clean and down too earth people. It's easy too find and filled with many chill vibes. Steve is my artist, doing a beautiful game characters sleeve. Every session is a blast, he is very clean, professional and makes sure I am feeling good. I highly reccomand checking them out !
Had the chance to get tattooed by Steve at the Calgary tattoo festival, first off what an awesome and amazingly nice guy! I love the twist he brings to the nerdy community in his art work. He free handed my harry potter tattoo for me and you can tell his passion and love for his craft by how well he did on it. I would definitely drive the three and half hours up to Edmonton to get future work done by him. Hands down one of my best tattoo experiences, 10/10 Highly recommend seeing him!
Just finished my session with Aza @pureimanitiontattoo. I gave him a simple picture to work with and he came back with an absolutely gorgeous design that complemented my other tattoo's. The session was awesome and relatively painless as he used a numbing cream on the more sensitive rib area's which i very much appreciated. Will definitely go back to get some more pieces done and re-work some i already have :) Thanks again Aza!
Amazing atmosphere! The people there are so fantastic and easy to work with. I think the best part is you can tell they work together as a team to make the shop successful, which is something you don't see as often anymore.
Steve is an amazing artist. Everyone comments on my sleeve but more importantly I love it. Works fast without sacrificing quality and detail, time honestly flies by! great bang for your buck. Should charge more for his quality. (Not me steve!!)
Do not let the upbeat, sweetness and kindness of Carys (and pink stuff EVERYWHERE) make you believe she’s incapable of a seriously badass witchy tattoo!!! I wanted a black & line work only mandrake root with tons of detail and man did she deliver! She listened to everything I requested and happily busted out a beautiful piece. She took her time tattooing me and gave me the best aftercare advice I’ve ever received. She didn’t talk my ear off or ignore me. She’ll definitely be doing all of my poisonous plants for me, I am sooo happy with my mandrake and can’t believe she’s just starting her career as a tattoo artist! I’ve been getting tattooed for 2 decades and this shop has absolutely zero pretentious vibes, it’s spotless, they have free parking, it’s not full of douchebags in any waiting area, the music wasn’t loud or annoying, the bathrooms were immaculate, and no one was drunk, high, or hitting on me. I highly recommend this shop, especially to anyone who’s experienced that stuff before at other places!
Got tattooed by the one and only Kieran! ???????? specializing in pop culture japanese he made my dream sternum piece come to life! ???? Super talented and will definitely keep coming back for more of his CRISP anime designs. ????????????????
I got. a forearm piece done by Steve, it was only my second tattoo so he was very understanding and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Also, the tattoo looks better than I could’ve ever have hoped for, will 100% come back for the remaining pieces that I’m planning on
Great atmosphere, excellent artists. Very relaxed and inviting. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I had work done by Dana and received so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more work from her.
Just left the shop and can't say enough positive about my tattoo. The shop clean and professional and the artwork is second to none.
Beautiful shop and phenomenal artists who are very accommodating
Alice is wonderful, gives great tattoos. Shop is super clean and professional. Would highly recommend getting a tattoo from Alice or anyone at pure imagination.
Dana did an amazing job. Turned out better then I could have imagined
I absolutely love the tatto I got from Alice Quinn! Everyone was so nice and friendly and I had a blast!
Was an amazing experience at the tattoo Expo!!! Thamk you so much Dana Chantele!!! My first tattoo ever!!!! I love it!!!
From the moment I arrived to the moment I left everyone was very welcoming! Carys made sure I was taken care of the whole time I was being tattooed, which made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The end result is my most favourite tattoo, and I can’t wait for it to heal. A+++++
Amazing staff!! Very talented! Would recommend to anyone! Just day one of two!
This would be where I got my first tattoo! I spoke to a few friends and a name that popped up more than once was Steve from Pure Imagination. The folks at Pure Imagination were professional, courteous, and answered all of my newbie questions without hesitation. I left feeling confident about my tattoo aftercare and proud of the creativity I get to sport on my arm. I'd recommend this team in a heartbeat.
Alice is cool beans. She's done both my tattoos and I'll definitely be back for more. Top qual and good price. Also, if you're hungry after there's food (restaurant) downstairs.
I had a great experience with Kabs/Kieran at Pure Imagination. Nice studio, easy to find, clean and air conditioned! Lol. I'm very happy with my tattoo, thanks Kabs!
I could not be more pleased with the tattoo I received from Steve. He truly is an artist. I made a 16 hour round trip just to get a tattoo from him and I WILL do it all again. He took my “inspiration” picture and turned it into something so much more than I ever imagined. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing experience every time! Such a great group of individuals and talent. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get tattooed!
The artists are great company, and the shop itself is so welcoming and homey. They don't blare death metal (like other shops do), which makes the whole experience of getting tattooed that much more relaxing. Each artist has so much talent and amazing work! Every tattoo I've gotten have all healed so well with minimal fading or scarring. Highly recommend!!!
Had an idea at work and Keiran aka Kabs, helped turned my idea into reality, great artist and plan to get more work done by him in the future 10/10 work.
No better place to get a tattoo in Edmonton, best quality of work, clean shop, friendly staff bringing great vibes. Highly recommend
Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, super talented and informative artists. I have been going to Brad for the past few years and he has more than exceeded my expectations. Steve's an awesome artist and an interesting fellow. I really enjoy the conversation's between the artist's. I highly recommend this place!
Kabs is a young skilled artist very professional, he went beyond my expectations on my recent tattoo, highly recommend and going back.
I had my tattoo finished up by Brad. He is amazing!! I love this shop, its totally relaxing and the owner was very nice.
I went to see Kabs today and he did a fast and amazing job!!! His drawing of my tatoo was wayyy better than what I imagined. The place is very clean and Kabs is definitely a really nice guy; we had a great conversation! The staff is very friendly there. I highly recommend! I'll definitely go see Kabs again in the future, he gave me an idea of an amazing tatoo ????????
I had Kieran and he has done my first and now second tattoo! I love his style and creativity and how he can execute and translate that to anywhere on the body! Definitely recommend him!
Just received a great tattoo by Dana at the Calgary Tattoo & Arts festival. She is great. I will have to travel to Edmonton to get another one by Dana.
I went to see Brad for my first tattoo, a memorial piece for my late father. It is beyond what I could have ever asked for. The shop is inviting and the artists are incredible.
Had a session with Brad starting a sleeve, and he absolutely nailed it! Would recommend this shop!
Super happy with the tattoo I got from Kieran today! His attention to detail is amazing, it’s obvious he truly cares about the final product he’s leaving you with, & will do whatever to make sure both parties are satisfied. The atmosphere was relaxing & friendly, but still professional. The shop itself was sanitary & organized. Super talented artists here! Will be back:)
Ive been getting sleeve work steve for a few years now, every idea I've given to steve he's taken, brought to life and made better then ive ever thought it could be with sick designs and honestly i don't even want to call it just getting a "tattoo" id say you're getting a piece of artwork done. Top notch staff and no being pushed around and getting gouged cash wise, quality work quality price, you can't go wrong.
I had my tattoo done by Steve and he did my favourite anime character, Inuyasha, and he did such a amazing and perfect job. Everything he did was dead on what I had imagined, the colours,the eyes, everything is everything I ever wanted for this tattoo. I highly recommend him and his shop. The staff were very kind, Kieran was kind enough to talk to me about anime too. Thank you Steve I love it!
Dana is amazing! So talented ????
Just had a beautiful little tattoo done by Carys Cuttlefish and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Great line work and all the artists were welcoming and just a great atmosphere. I will be booking here again soon.
Awesome experience, Steve is a top guy and amazing at tattooing . Highly recommend
I was told about Pure Imagination through a friend and I’m glad I checked them out! I needed a small touch-up done and Steve was able to squeeze me in. He did an awesome job and was personable and knowledgeable. Let’s give them some love!
Love working with Dana, she always knows exactly what I want. First time at this shop, I felt comfortable and it was very clean. Great work at amazing prices!
Steve has done a few tattoos on myself and has done amazing work that I am proud to show off. He is professional and has always offered honest advice on tattoo choices. The shop is inviting and clean with a friendly atmosphere. I Would highly recommend Steve if you are looking to get awesome artwork.
Pure imagination is fantastic! I just had a piece done by Steve and he was amazing. He is a fantastic artist, and beyond professional. He really did a phenomenal job and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The shop is very clean and has a great ambiance to it, I felt very comfortable there. I would highly recommend pure imagination to anyone and everyone! I can't wait to get my next piece done!
Great shop with a chill and comfortable vibe. Had my first session with Steve Sklepic, and I am extremely pleased with both the experience, as well as my tattoo. I've had a half sleeve that I was extremely unhappy with and as such it has been been haunting me for years. Steve fixed that for me by designing a wonderful cover-up that I adore and am excited to complete. Can't wait to go back at the month for my next session! Highly recommend !!!
Very friendly and welcoming place. I would recommend it to everyone. Great job today by Dana. I definitely am not going anywhere else.
Really awesome place everyone is very nice Steve did my tattoo and is super cool did a really good job I am super pleased thank you! And can I just say obviously super talented people working there you can tell just by the art on the walls super creative people that will work with you to develop awesome artwork for your body and will make sure exactly what you want and more
Steve is the man. Im more then happy everytime i leave the shop. Very professional and friendly
Carys is an amazing artist. I've been following her work for years with her polymer clay creatures. I was so excited when I found out she was tattooing as well. Her art is so beautiful, she is very gentle while being super detailed and she is an amazing soul. 15/10 definitely recommend!
Carys is so friendly and her work is amazing! I couldn't be happier with the quality of my tattoo. The shop is clean, professional, and the atmosphere is great. Thank you so much for a great tattoo and wonderful experience.
My new wife and I went to get some matching tattoos and we had a great experience. Steve did an awesome job with both designs. The shop had solid guidelines so both of us felt safe. Steve was professional and it was a great experience. I highly recommend him for any work you'd like to have done.
Had a flash piece done by Kabs the other day, would be impressed with the work no matter what but the fact that he's relatively new in the industry makes him all the more impressive. Shop was clean and artists had their own rooms if that's your preference over an open concept. All around chill and cozy vibe.
Super chill environment, friendly artists, and some pretty comical conversations in this place. Definitely one of the best shops in Edmonton! Carys was my artist and I couldn't have asked for a better time! Recomend 10 out of 10!
Steve is an amazing artist, he took a piece I had started with another artist that left me disappointed and has been turning it into the piece I had dreamed of!! I'm super happy with the quality and look of it and will gladly continue referring him and the studio to other friends looking for quality pieces
I have been going to Steve for many years and am always happy with my experience, which is even better at this shop because everyone seems happy to be there. The work is awesome, the cleanliness is top notch and I would recommend this shop to everyone.
The waiting list is worth the wait! Steve is one of the BEST tattoo artist I have ever had the pleasure of being tattoo by. His shop is extremely clean, comfortable and has a great energy to the room. I would recommend this venue for both extreme enthusiasts and tattoo virgins alike as the welcoming, incrediblly inclusive, nonsense, nonjudgmental environment has the potential to be enjoyable for anyone from 18 to 81.
Kabs did my tattoo. He is very professional. It didnt take long and the price was great will definitely be back for more. 5* also great music ????????
Amazing experience , wonderful atmosphere. 10 out of 10 will do again.
For the record, I used to go to another studio for tattoos but will now be going here from now on. I went to my old artist at another studio for this piece I wanted, he told me that he wouldn’t be able to do it. I then went to other artists (5 different) around the city and they told me the same thing or tried to give me something that was so vastly far from the original it wouldn’t of even been the same meaning. Brad is my guy now, he is an amazing artist and such a cool guy to talk with during my sessions. From the beginning he was honest with me about my tattoo and made minor suggestions/recommendations on how to make it better (which he did). Went in a couple times to get my piece completed, every single time he was outstanding and the place was super clean and welcoming. He answered any questions I had and consistently responded quickly over messaging which I greatly appreciate and respect. Hell of an artist, can’t wait to go back for more ! Thanks Brad!
You have to check this place out. The artists are friendly, place look immaculate and everyone is extremely talented. Gotta take a look at Kierans work while you're there too!
Steve right from the start was great to deal with. Went to him with an idea I had for a tattoo and he ran with it. Very clean studio. He was efficient with my time and got right down to business when I got there for the tattoo. He does mind blowing creative work and will definitely be going back to finish my sleeve. Won't break the bank to get a great, quality tattoo either. Thanks again Steve !!
I have been getting tattooed for a number of years now, my experiences with Alice Quinn have be nothing but awesome! From first contact, art planning, to the actual tattoo. I enjoy the whole experience. We have become great friends and i look forward to my next project. Pure Imagination seems to be a great fit for Alice, Clean, good fellow artists that are willing to help each other.
Went to Cary's for my very first tattoo, and I'm usually a super anxious person. She was so sweet, personal, and such a comfortable easy person to be around. She was also very gentle when working on my skin. Her studio is so adorable and the overall environment is extremyl friendly and calm. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to go here. Definitely can't wait to come back for my next tattoo ! Already been thinking about booking my next one and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet ;3
This tattoo shop is lovely! Very chill vibes, super clean, the artists are friendly, and my tattoo looks great!!
Got my first bigger tattoo today with Kabs and I couldn’t be happier with my experience overall. The shop was clean and the staff were friendly. I am so happy with my piece on my arm so far, it looks amazing! Such an amazing artist and I can’t wait to come get more done ! Definitely recommend giving them a visit !!!
Such a lovely and welcoming shop and you won't find more professional, talented artists than at Pure Imagination. Dana worked on my sleeve and she was wonderful
Great shop with some amazingly talented artists!❤
I’ve had multiple sessions with Steve and he’s been great everytime, always making sure I‘m comfortable and the end result is always amazing. The shop is very clean and a great atmosphere
Fantastic tattoo shop. Steve is definitely a master at what he does and each of the artists there are true professionals. Great atmosphere, very clean and hygienic, awesome artwork and even better tattoos. Highly recommended.
Today I got a wonderful cute piece done by Carys Cuttlefish! Such a great and wonderful experience. Will definitely be going back! Right when I walked in I was welcomed so warmly and kindly. Studio is clean and taken care of wonderfully. Had such a fun time getting to know her and talk about our scary ghost stories! Most definitely one of my best tattoo experiences and already looking forward to going back!! Thank you so much!!
Aza is the best Polynesian tribal artist I’ve seen in Edmonton, he cares about his work and is careful! Honestly would give 10 stars if possible! The whole crew there are chill and I felt comfortable and safe during my session
I recieved a custom tattoo from Carys Cuttlefish, it happened to be to cover self harm scars and she made the whole process from design to finish very calm and therapeutic. She understood my need for healing and felt happy to be a part of that. It was my first color piece and I found that she was very supportive and encouraging through the tougher parts. Her touch was very gentle and definitely made all of the difference! She also gave me an adorable after care package with some of her art, fortune pills for each recovery day and a lil sticker. I had an all around great day getting my tattoo done at Pure Imagination Tattoo Collective. The rest of the artists are friendly, fun and bring a great vibe to getting ink! Their space on 142nd had some problems as a building, so I am stoked to see what their new space closer to Kingsway will bring them in 2019!
Started my sleeve project with Alice Quinn at this shop, and i must say it's one of the most welcoming and inclusive studios i have ever been too. All of the artists are warm, friendly people who work in a collaborative setting, allowing artists to bounce ideas off one another which in my opinion benefits everyone involved. Had a great first session on my sleeve and i can't wait to finish the project. Excellent experience all-around, 5/5 would let my grandmother get tattooed here.
I want to thank Steve, for tattooing my 2 dog portraits. I could not have asked for anything more beautiful, you are amazing , your shop rocks. I wish they had a higher star rating because you definitely deserve it. Thank you again
Awesome, great artists good setting
Great people great studio all around great. Love it here.
I hired Steve in 2017 to do a full sleeve on my right arm. His heavy hand and technique caused a lot of damage to my skin. I have so much visible scar tissue and the artist that tried to fix it told me there isn’t much that can be done about it. Now I’m stuck with this ugly arm for the rest of my life.
If I could give 6 stars, I would. Steve, and the shop, are topnotch. From the moment I walked in, to the minute I left, I was one happy customer. Steve did a phenomenal job on a Dr. Seuss tattoo. He's not only a talented artist, but a quirky, entertaining human being. Would 10/10 recommend.
I was very impressed with Kabs! He nailed the idea I had on the head, and delivered it even better on my skin. Big props to Kab, I am more than satisfied with the piece he did for me. Also the location is easy to find and all of the other staff were friendly and welcoming, the place has a great overall atmosphere.
Been getting tattooed by Steve at Pure Imagination for a few years now, he is absolutely the best! He is an amazing artist and manages to take any idea I have an nail it in a tattoo! Just did a 4 hour session with him yesterday and it felt like I was there for an hour...great company and great conversation! Which helps when you need to take your mind off the pain. I have recommended many friends and will continue to send people Steve's way, he will not disappoint! Looking forward to my next session!
Great experience with Steve. He did a fantastic job. The shop is clean, private and has a great laidback feel to it.
Steve and Dana are phenomenal artists! Great attention to detail. Also some of the nicest people I have ever met. Wouldnt dream of getting a tattoo by anyone else.
A wonderful environment to be tattooed in! The vibe is cute and professional and I was very impressed with the sweetness and passion Carys brings to her work. I definitely recommend checking out this shop for your next piece!
Cerys took me and my wife in and we were so pleased! She was so thorough and clean and beyond positive, just a real pleasure to be around. We absolutely adored her and we will be back!
I went in to see Brad today to get some "fixes" done to a previous tattoo. When I first entered, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The shop was clean and bright. Getting into the tattoo, Brad was professional and clean. He let me know about his tools and what was going to happen. He had ideas on how to get what I was looking for that I didn't think of. When we were done, he was very informative on the aftercare and what to expect. Great experience! Thanks so much for bringing my tattoo back to life and fixing everything I didn't like about it before. I will definitely come and see you again and recommend others to as well.
Everyone at this shop is amazing. Alice is my favorite. Very professional down to earth team working here. Cannot wait for my next tattoo.
Just got a great tattoo by the shop apprentice, Carys. The whole experience was great, they are all really friendly and the shop is a very comfortable space to be in.
Amazing Place! Amazing Artwork! Amazing People! It was so much fun just being there for my short hour. Would definitely go back again! Carys Cuttlefish designs are so cute and fun. Can not wait for my next tattoo! ❤️
Awesome place to get inked! Friendly, professional, and talented staff. I love all of my tattoos that I've gotten from Dana and look forward to getting more!
Amazing show and owner
Place with a great vibe, definitely enjoyed sitting with Brad Thomas, if you are looking into a cartoony type of tattoo that would be his specialty but he is pretty diverse and can change it up like this piece he did on me!
Alway's great to see Steve and let him put some new in on my skin!! His creativity and artistic talents of all sorts is phenomenal!
Really gorgeous studio with friendly artists! I loved my first session with Kabs I highly recommend his work! Thanks guys
Steve is an amazing artist, absolutely love my piece and he did an incredible job
Amazing shop. The artist are phenomenally talented and will be up front and honest with you. Professional setting that provides the client with a relaxing and rewarding experience.
I had my first session done on my thigh tattoo. Steve was professional, and great to work with. He’s patient and his work is beautiful!
Steve has put together a passionate team of professionals with a wealth of talent in a variety of different styles. The shop is clean, comfortable, and welcoming; it's easy to relax here. Whatever you're wanting, there's somebody at the shop who can make it happen, and you know that you are going to get a professional and fun experience. Dana has done all of my pieces here, and she has always gone above and beyond my expectations. She has such a light touch and yet the ink stays put perfectly, and the art she can create... Breathtaking! I would trust anyone else here too though. From the chats I've had while getting work done, I've realized that they are all genuinely good and kind people. Pure Imagination has absolutely set the bar. I refuse to go anywhere else.
Seen Brad today for my first session on my tattoo. When I walked in I noticed the top notch cleanliness of the shop and I could feel the good vibes between the artists. My experience with Brad has been great so far, he is an Amazing artist. Given the design freedom I did for my tattoo he came with a design that I fell in love with and was more then I could have ever dreamed of and was exactly what I wanted. All around great experience and I can’t wait to go back and have more work don’t at this shop.
Just got tattoed by Alice yesterday and the experience is ALWAYS awesome! Been seeing Alice for some years now and she continues to get better with her skill and dedication to the client. Never had a complaint with either the tattoo or the experience. Other staff members are super friendly and talkative. Pure Imagination is a great studio to check out if you're looking to get work done!
I had the best experience I’ve ever had getting a tattoo. Brad took the time talking to me and letting me know what he was doing before he did it. The atmosphere was comfortable, the place was clean and welcoming. This is my go to spot for my tattoos from now on!
Have four tattoos done there today. Great experience and super chill environment, and awesome people. Check it out
