Tattoo

Very friendly staff. Awesome attitude. Adopted a cat that needed a home.

My husband and I went to our honeymoon in Banff, AB. Wednesday, August 22nd, we went hiking up on Mt. Lipsett up in Kanaskis and upon approaching the summit, after a three hour climb, we encountered a grizzly about a hundred yards from us. We backed up slowly and made our way to the treeline and ran for our lives. Fear took over and what took us three hours to get to the summit, only took us one hour to come down. My husband and I do a lot of hiking here at home in Seattle, WA but we've never really had any type of encounters with wildlife with our area being so populated and the trails here well trodden. Now, we know about bear spray and to never hike without it. On our last night in Banff, I had the idea of getting a tattoo. My idea came to me at 7 pm. The local tattoo shop in Banff had closed for the night. We were heading into Calgary and planning to sleep in the car due to an early flight the next morning. We had to be at the airport at 5 am for an 8 am flight. I searched tattoo shops in Calgary and everywhere had closed. I came across Leaves with Ink and it said open 24 hours. I gave him a call told me it was by appointment only and he was interested in our story and decided to meet us at his shop at 10 pm. Leaves is such a chill guy! He made us feel comfortable and was very accommodating! Did a great job on both mine and my husbands tattoos. He even let us crash on his couch that night for a few hours so we didn't have to sleep in our cars! All around an awesome experience! I will definitely be hitting him up for any more tattoos when I'm in Calgary again. Truly a believer in things happening for a reason, feel like it was just meant to be that we met Leaves! Now, he's a part of our story that we will forever tell. Awesome guy!

Best shop in Alberta hands down. Dustin Pool at the wheel of a comfortable, affordable and well located shop (lots of parking on the street) the other artists also bringing top artistry and friendly positive attitudes.

Got my arm done by Jeff back in '14. I still Can't believe how perfect it turned out. People to date ask where I got my work done and I have no problem telling them to see Jeff in Calgary. The quality of my tattoo required no touch ups, however I got it touched up anyway mainly just to go say hey and hang out. (Cause he's that awesome!!!!)

They did an amazing job on a cover up. Definitely would come back again.

Honestly I got a tattoo at black owl tattoo a year ago it was a great experience and I got coupons for my mom and I to get a tattoo after. I called a couple months later asking to book to get the tattoos they said they would call me back and never did. Next time I went to use the coupons which I payed 200 bucks for i found out they had closed. And so I payed 200 dollars for nothing only to find out that the owner is under investigation for sexual harassment. 😒

not only is the talent and art amazing , the people working here are easy going which makes for a great atmosphere .I look forward to getting more work done here

I have gotten 2 piercings and a tattoo there and the staff was very friendly and made you feel comfortable! Which is something that a lot of places should do! I will keep going back!

Got both arms done by Rick, an amazing artist, super easy going, I wouldnt go anywhere else. I highly recommend this shop to anyone

Got a sleeve done by James and it was a great experience. Very relaxed clean shop and i would not go anywhere else.

I'd prefer if there were private tattoo rooms but I like this place. Not much for parking but it's beltline Calgary. Good atmosphere and for my money, Craig Quill is the finest tattooer I've ever been to.

Amazing shop!!! Great artists. Very professional

Whitney is amazing, not only is her artwork absolutely beautiful and stunning, but she also helped get through the painful parts! Soo happy!!

Honestly the most fun I've had getting tattooed at a shop with amazing artists and a cool creative vibe. 10/10

I had such an amazing experience, I had an appointment with Ollie and he did a fantastic job. I LOVE the tattoo and have gotten compliments not only from friends, but from strangers in public. Originally he tattoo’d me for the first time a couple of years ago and the tattoo still looks brand new! Tattoos are extremely personal, so it’s amazing for me to be able to have the ability to trust Ollie’s judgement and let him do his thing, knowing that whatever he does will be nothing less than a work of art. I will be back soon! Ps. This tattoo shop is the most lovely place! It’s extremely cute (and clean) and the woman that greeted me upon arrival was extremely friendly.

Got a tragus piercing done. Very clean shop, super friendly. Would go back for sure.
