Friendly staff, clean shop # 1 shop in Calgary 👊

Did a great job of explaining the tattoo and potential outcomes with fingers tattoos. Was thorough in the design phase and made the entire visit, incredibly fun. These were pretty meaningful tattoos for me and my wife. They allowed us to smudge the area ahead of time which meant a lot to her and her heritage. But highly recommend these guys Thanks for a great experience

Just got a beautiful hand tattoo for my birthday. Jacob and everyone at the shop were amazing. Will definitely be back for many more tattoos.

Josh is that rare mix of class clown and perfectionist. He’ll have you laughing through your tattoo while double checking every bit of sanitation like he’s prepping for surgery. The guy’s got jokes, skill, and passion for doing things right. You can tell he truly cares about his craft and clients, equal parts good time and serious professional. Come for the ink, stay for the chaos, good vibes, and an artist who somehow turns every session into both a comedy show and a masterclass in tattoo fundamentals.

Awesome tattoo, great atmosphere will be back soon for more tattoos

Always a great experience at 1st Street Tattoo, very talented artists. Professional and relaxing environment.. Been getting ink from Josh for many years now and it’s always a good time.

5 star great. Josh is very personable and the shop was spotless and inviting. Tattoo done by Sam. She is very friendly, always asks how you're doing during the tattooing and she does amazing work. I absolutely love my new art work. More than 5 stars given. Thank you Sam, Josh and 1st Street Tattoos.

I got the most amazing dog portraits of my two dogs done. The work is so realistic and detailed. Chris was amazing to work with and I’m so happy with the tattoos. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to get portraits done of their furry friends.

15/10! Josh did an incredible job! Would recommend Josh & the guys at 1st Street Tattoo to anyone!

Sean did an amazing job!! Love the new tattoo

Sean was amazing! He put a lot of thought and effort into my tattoos. He really listened to what i wanted! He also touched up some of my other tattoos that needed some love. He was really great to work with, super chill guy.

Jake was awesome he took my idea gave it his style was an amazing experience for my first tattoo.

Always a pleasure to be in the shop! Chris is a fantastic artist, gentle hand. Always a great experience at 1st Street Tattoo.

Love our tattoos. Always happy with Josh's work. Great atmosphere!!

My experience was exceptional! He made be feel comfortable the entirety time, & gave me a piece I can proudly show off! Would recommend 1st Street Tattoo to anyone

Josh is hands down the best artist i have ever come across & the only one i will ever let tattoo me from here on out. Thanks guys so much. 💯

I had a great experience getting my tattoo done here. The artist was professional, easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The shop was clean and welcoming, and I’m really happy with how my tattoo turned out. I would definitely come back again.

Great love mine and my wifes tattoos they do wonderful work!

Cris was incredibly kind and professional throughout the entire experience. It was my daughter’s first tattoo, and he made her feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning. He took her original idea and elevated it into something truly beautiful, guiding her with care and creativity every step of the way. The final result turned out amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with both the tattoo and the way Cris treated us. Highly recommended!

Chris was amazing! So gentle and very good at what he does. Thank you again so much love my tattoo! 🩷

Everyone at the shop was super friendly and welcoming! Had the pleasure of enjoying some good laughs while getting a beautiful tattoo from Chris! Definitely coming back!

Cris did an amazing job on my shark tattoo! He is super kind and does absolutely amazing work!! The whole experience was incredible just like the work Cris does!

Great shop, awesome people and a wicked way to get some ink…crushing that ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An amazing experience for my first tattoo. Very professional and I love my end result.
