Gotten all my tattoos done here

Clint Brown

Great work done

Leon

Artists here are great, got my first tattoo here! Wish I didn't get razor burn but heck I got my pistachios done so we're in the CLEAR. Would definitely recommend booking ahead of time but walk-in was fine since I was getting a small piece which I'm satisfied with.

Graham Fortin

Great artists, great work, though some of the art was religiously offensive. Other than that its a great shop.

Stiger The Creator

Brandon Morgan

Evin does a great job clean lines quick and easy definately recommend

Tanya Malesevich

They take cash or money transfer, for future customers... Really nice and clean shop

The shop itself is very clean, and I KNOW there’s a few good artists, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. But there are a few artists known to be overly rough with clients. I went in February with friends to get a Mr. Flash Design at the specialty price. They had room for us, and the guys at the front were super fun & nice. Even the guy who did my tattoo was nice, my hoodie had stained my arm blue and he wiped me down. However he was quite rough with the actual process. Ive never had a tattoo bruise like this one did (hopefully I’ve attached pictures). And then as it healed I noticed chunks of ink missing, despite not picking at it and following the artists directions to a T. I also have other artwork and I’ve literally never had this happen to any other tattoo. So I took it to my usual shop, and every single tattoo artist there told me it was definitely overworked by whoever did my tattoo. It’s a huge bummer as this was my first visible tattoo (others are on my leg and sternum). Also the two other girls with me who did flash tattoos also had their lines either blown out or were also overworked. Luckily, my regular artist will be fixing it up for me, but please just do your research on the artists heavily. Because some are amazing (Like Carl) and some just aren’t quite up to par.

Ingelise Kemp

Got my tattoo done here by Chris , truly an amazing tattoo artist. Great environment too!

Andy Kennedy

Got my first colour tattoo from the apprentice, Caleb, and I'll definitely be back! Professional, excellent design, and he helped me find a perfect placement!

Rene Ramdeen

Sick shop. Amazing artists. Great vibe. Killer tunes. Wicked awesome staff. All around excellent choice if your looking for some skate gear or a first rate tattoo. Will be going back very soon!

Maxwell

A Tattoo mecca. If you don't know start knowing. Chances are some of your fav edmonton tattoo shop owners spent time at showdown. High end, clean shops.

Sonia

Always really professional and very cautious of cleanliness. That's why this is my place to go.

Diana Halabi

First time I get a tattoo, got to see Roxana. She takes her time and makes sure that the tattoo is exactly what you want. Thanks Roxana I will make sure that I will be going to Showdown to see you for my next tattoo.

Ryan Pool

Next level cleanliness! Super nice staff got some killer ink very impressed. Would recommend. 100%

Hamel

Carl absolutely KILLED my tattoo. He was fast, professional, accommodating and Im incredibly impressed with the end product.

Adam Blais

The artists that work here are insanely talented. The place is clean, the atmosphere is great and their prices are fair. Couldn't ask for anything else in a tattoo shop.

Michael Ngo

Super friendly, fun and experienced staff, clean space and nicely lit and decorated. Got some work done by Chubs (great dude). Thanks again, I'll be back for more!!!

Awesome service and friendly staff

Removery Tattoo Removal -formerly Second Skin

Great tattoers and excellent selection of skate gear.

Steven S

WoW! This place is a must see...they have some of the coolest skate boards ever! The amount of art on the walls and skateboard selection kept me busy staring for about 20 minutes. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

May Atlas

They have a couple really disgusting pieces of artwork up that shame people with eating disorders - tattoos bring people a lot of body positivity and this flies in the face of that.

Daralyn Stene

Carl did a really great job on my underbust piece. Would 10/10 recommend. He's an amazing artist. Thanks!

Teira Stauth

I recently went to their Whyte ave location to get some piercings done and had an outstanding experience. Aliya was extremely helpful and professional. She even followed up with me afterwards to see how everything was going. Great jewelry selection as well.

Dominique Aston

Chris Benson absolutely NAILED my tattoo, all of my friends keep sayingthat it is the coolest tattoo they have ever seen and I am absolutely in love. He took my idea and put his own spin on it and it is perfect. Thank you, Chris.

Amber Brockway

Fantastic shop. Clean, professional, courteous staff. They have an awesome skate shop incorporated into their space as well! I highly recommend getting your next tattoo at Showdown!

Kris Mruk

Great tats

Brandon Baker

Excellent work done by Fabian!

Michael Rogers

I waited until I had received each of the services these guys offer. I can now say, after being both tattooed and pierced here, it is exceptional. Knowledgeable, talented staff will you help you with whatever you need, respect your opinions and never pressure you into anything you don’t want. It’s perfect for first timers or old hands.

Nick Waywood

Outstanding service, friendly staff

Ayesha Reece

Literally this place, both locations have some pretty rad artists.

Rachel Currie

Showdown is the real deal. Their team is loaded with fantastic artists, whatever style you are looking for they have someone for you. Always easy going and respectful. Always a a good experience. If you want a nice tatty with no bs. Showdown, everytime.

Phobia “VenomX” Ofyou

I had work at showdown done in 2013, still looks mint. Highly recommend them.

Rob Spencer

Amazing artists , great staff , huge selection of skateboard goods , both shops have lots of accessible parking and great places to eat near by

Taylor Kindrachuk

Full of people that will make you feel extremely uncomfortable if you are a woman

Sam Gaudet

Too busy for walk in. Need appoinment.

Nathan Woroschuk

Getting my second session next week, I walked in last week and got booked quickly which was amazing and lucky. These folks are very laid back and good at what they do, I got 3 tattoos in my first session and was extremely happy with the results. Will post pictures once my session is complete just to reinforce my point. Just park to the side of the building and don't leave obvious valuables as the area is semi sketchy, they lock their shop door so you will feel safe once in their location. Awesome stuff!

Donna McKay

Very friendly atmosphere

Candice Harding

Kevin was awesome!!

Travis Stuve

Super friendly staff, Amazing artists!

Chopper Tom

Had work done here a few years ago and was referred by my brother. Both of our ink has stood the stands of time. Even though my artist left showdown a couple years ago, when I called back to speak to him, they were more than willing to pass along his information and his new location. High quality studio has now expanded to 124st.
