Calgary Experiences?

09-23-2006, 12:07 AM

Hi all. New here - getting ready for my first!!

Anyone have any particularly good experience with artists in Calgary -
I'm looking for someone great at custom work... I have a basic
idea/concept that I'd like to portray, but I'm not able to
conceptualize anything on paper.

I'm looking for someone who is fun to work with, patient, and
technically excellent (of course). Money/wait lists aren't a big deal.

One name that's popped up a few times is Heather Mclean... but I
appreciate all feedback you might have!

Thanks!

I had my first one done at Body Inc. by Chad Good. He's working at Strange
City in Edmonton now though.
Obviously, the rockstar in town is James Tex, but last I heard he was
booking into 2008. Guys at Smiling Buddah are really good with black and
gray, but again, you'll be waiting for it.
A friend of a friend opened up a shop called "Hide and Seek". His name's Jay
Slinger. I've seen a ton of his stuff on people I used to know (when I still
lived there), some new, some a few years old, and it all looks awesome.

I'm in Red Deer now, and I've gotten my last few done by Lucas Ford at
Classic Tattoo. Fire me an e-mail and I'll try to point you at some websites
and fire you a couple pictures if you want.

Take care,
Kris
