Reviews of First String Tattoo Studio (Tattoo Shop)

Tauja Whelan

J Majury is an awesome tattoo artist. I love his work so much that I travel from Calgary to Winnipeg to get my work done by him. From consult to finished product he's friendly and easy to chat with. Highly recommend if you are looking for flower tattoos.

Jess Kull

Coral is a master in her craft. Cannot recommend the shop enough!!

Amanda Davis

Carly is super patient with a customer's pain threshold and working through it with them..and just a genuinely awesome human being. I am in love with the piece that she has given me and I can't wait to get it completed on my next session. I will definitely be recommending her to everybody! This lady has mad skills and talent as an artist!

Kayla

A very clean and professional studio. I had an excellent experience with Jan, he was very easy to talk to and I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work. Nearly two years later and it's still one of my favourite pieces. Highly recommend First String!

First of all the place is clean and hygienic, as you'd expect from a Tattoo shop. I got my piece done by Jan V, and boy did he make this a whole lot easier! For someone like me who never got any tattoos done before this, he made the experience very enjoyable. Very funny and straight forward dude, and an exceptional artist. He even gave me candies to help with the pain(trust me it helped)!!! I'm definitely coming back here soon, and I'd recommend others to visit this shop as well! It'll be well worth your time and money

The most thoughtful, intricate, meaningful work by Carly. The colours are so vibrant and the day after there's hardly any pain (which I'm told is a sign of a really good tattooist). Very glad a friend recommended I come here for my first tattoo.

Came to J for my first tatt and he did an amazing job! His chill demeanor made the experience less intimidating and more calming plus he has funny dad jokes!

I got tatt'd by Marc Vienneau a few days ago and he's a true artist. I had a concept in my mind and he was able to expand on it, firstly on paper; then at a whole other level on my arm. His line-work is solid and colour use is very unique. Thanks to Marc I'm already thinking about the next one...

Tara Law

Carly was amazing!

Laura mini

I've seen Coral for most of my work. She's amazing!!!

Tony C

Clean studio, cozy environment, and amazing artists. Coral has done two of my pieces, and I have been overly satisfied by her designs, care to detail, and the level of entertainment and energy she has when doing a piece on your body. Will return for more work by my favorite and best artist that suits my style.

Carly is amazing I recently had a tattoo done by her on my arm and it's so beautiful and healed so well. The shop had a welcoming atmosphere, I plan to return when I'm ready for another tattoo.

Absolutely incredible job done by Jan V. Super chill, straightforward, profesional, down to earth guy. By far my most pleasant and comfortable tattoo experience. The whole place was spotless, comfortable, and easy to be in. I had absolutely zero concerns the whole time, and Jan was accommodating, gentle and knowledgeable. Everyone working there is thoughtful, creative and really just The People To See if you want a good piece done. Excellent value for pristine work. I have trouble imagining myself going anywhere else for a tattoo going forward.

Cheri Farfan

If I could give them 10 stars, I would. My daughter and I had our tattoos done yesterday with J and it was the best experience ever!!! He made us both feel so comfortable, especially at it was my daughter's first tattoo. Excellent service, friendly staff and clean surroundings. Can't wait to go back for another one. Great job J and thanks for everything :)

They wanted $300 and said it would take 2 hours of work. I went to another place and paid $120/hour (took 30 minutes)

Kevin Bergen

Both Marc and Carly are talented tattoo artists. There are other people who work out of there but I don't know them or their work. I have 3 tattoos by Marc and I've seen many awesome pieces by Carly.

P R

Coral rocks!!!

Brian Magnusson

Excellent, Carly is fun and a true artist

Keara Chisholm

All 3 of my tattoos are done by Jay, my mom's are almost all done by Carly and my boyfriend's are done by Mark. All very amazing artist would definitely recommend going here. Great first tattoo experience and amazing quality.

Brett Summers

I have had art done by both J and Marc. Besides being absolute professionals, they are two of the most decent guys I have met. I am often approached by complete strangers curious about the art I have, telling me how beautiful it is and asking who the artist is. Seriously, Safeway, church, work,school on the bus; people are blown away by the detail and the amazing colour.

Roland Flaig

Very clean and the artists are super friendly.

Jay D

Great experience as always. Clean and professional. Jay does great work!

Mark Domko

Awesome people. Well informed on med issues.

navreet sidhu

James is amazing artist.i like his work.whenever i ll have another tattoo i wil definately go to him.

Brian Cox

I am seldom motivated to give a review on anything but I am making an exception in this case. How often do you encounter a place or service that has no negatives? A friend recommended “First String Tattoo” and it was everything and more than I expected…very clean…great service…friendly people…most of all excellent quality work. I checked out the work of all the artists there and they are all A-1 as far as I am concerned, and I have visited shops in five different cities. My tattoo was done by Coral and I am more than satisfied.
