Re: Tattoo's
Not sure this would be a recommendation but my eldest son is currently getting a rather large tattoo done on his back (goes from his waist to his shoulders). 
He is getting it done at Bushido Tattoo and Piercing, he has also had some work done at Smiling Buddha.
I wasn't overly impressed with the one he got from Smiling Buddha. From what I've seen of his new one (one third complete) it's much better.
Cheers
Steve

If you click on Tattoos - and then Julian - you can see stuff he has done.
Nice website. They have a gorgeous studio - nothing like most of the scuzzy places - and use an autoclave for sterilization. He would know of the best places in Calgary - cleanliness is of prime importance - at least it should be!!

Re: Tattoo's
I asked Julian who he would recommend in Calgary.
He said the Smiling Buddha is really good - they are one of the most famous tattoo places in Canada -- Scott Ford is good.
Bushido - Doug Fink.
Deadly Tattoos - James Tex - he said he is booked up a year in advance so if you don't want to wait that long - there is also Dino.
Strange World - Rick Wilson.
He also said - if you can find it - that all these guys have My Space pages. He said that sometimes they are hard to find but if you found a page for James Tex and then looked at his friends - you would find all their pages and they all have photos of their work on their My Space pages.
However, at the end he said if you can't find their pages and you live in Calgary - it's probably just easier to go down there and look at their work!!
