    Actual picture I provided vs their design!
    Mani A.

    They charged me for this ugly design, and when I refused to get that tattooed on me, they neither changed their design nor refunded me. Then when I left a bad review, the owner wrote back to me: "karma is a b**ch!"

    I came in after emailing Sean (aka SAGA) as he has a unique style that incorporates realism and watercolour (from my exploration - pretty rare to find in Calgary). Sean was professional and worked hard to create a tattoo design that I loved, he took my input and together we came up with a really sick tattoo of an owl and dandelions, with his signature geometric hexagons. Sean worked on my leg for about 6 hours with a few breaks, he was focused and it turned out AMAZING. So impressed with his work and his professionalism.

    Disappointing Experience - Faded Tattoo in Days…read more My friend and I came in to get matching tattoos on the sides of our hands--an area we knew could be tricky, but we expected a bit more care and guidance. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. The artist offered little support or direction during the design process and didn't explain the level of fading we might expect clearly. We were asked to sign the hand waivers after the tattoo was completed. We were told it would fade over time, but within just 2-3 days, one tattoo had nearly vanished and the other was missing large chunks. When we brought this to the studio's attention, the manager cited their "hand tattoo policy" but ultimately refused to stand by their work. We were told we could pay again to get it touched up. Instead of offering a resolution or at least a courtesy touch-up, we were told we'd have to pay again to fix tattoos that didn't even last a week. I understand that hand tattoos can be tricky, but this was poorly handled. Lack of support, lack of follow-through, and a lack of accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone--especially if you're hoping for both quality work and respectful customer service. After speaking and showing other artists the work, they agreed that it was poorly done and not deep Enough. Save your money and stay away!!!!

    My son and I went there twice over about a 4 month period, spending close to five thousand dollars…read more First time I was very happy. Second time, the ink fell out faster than it went in. You can't even tell what the tattoo is supposed to be. So I called about getting some touch ups done. I was told no problem but here's the catch. I have to pay the $200 per hour to get touch ups done. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous.

    Please avoid Tribal Expressions/Opulence at all costs. Keith, the owner, significantly overcharged…read morefor their service and jewelry. Not only was the service and jewelry overpriced, but the jewelry was also unnecessary, unwearable and caused ear problems. I was charged double the quoted price (with jewelry included), despite confirming in advance via phone that there would be no additional fees prior to booking the appointment and outlining the situation via notes and in person my original piercing experience with the "gun" 40 years ago. I was shocked when I was billed over $200 at the time of piercing and immediately contested the charge. The experience was time-consuming, as Keith frequently bounced between customers and those counter surfing. Even with my appointment, I was there for an hour after arriving ten minutes early. The final outcome was completely misaligned and lopsided piercings, resulting in extra, unnecessary holes in my ears that are permanent. I have photos to support this, and anyone who sees my ears, including George the piercer at Strange World (who I can't recommend enough), can attest the appalling result. I am beyond upset!

    Great place and service. Only down fall is the price, find it a bit too steep in getting the ear…read morelobes pierced of the fee (each ear) + earrings + the backing and down the road you need to change (if you wish) to shorter back after 3 months (plus that fee). Wish they show the fees on the website and in additional to the backing of the earrings.

    My Husband and I came in for our consult with Ryan on June 28th. At which time we booked our…read moreappointments together for July 19th as it was our wedding anniversary. During our consult, it was decided that Ryan would do my tattoo first as it would only take an hour or so, whereas my husband's could take at least 3. We showed up on the 19th and found out Ryan had switched our appointments. He decided to do my husbands first and then mine, which I was fine with, until.... Ryan made a comment about not seeing my tattoo appointment and not having the picture we provided him with, which was odd because everything was sent in one email. I sat in your shop for over an hour during which time I listened to a conversation between your artists who were discussing your 48 hr cancellation policy. Then a 1/4 of the way through my husband's tattoo I get told I may not even get my tattoo that day. He said we could reschedule and that he would even come in on his day off! We were supposed to be getting our tattoos together on our anniversary! I was pissed and left the shop! I sat in my car alone in your parking lot for another 3.5 hrs waiting for my husband (hoping I'd get my tattoo) on my ONLY day off in 6 days, on my wedding anniversary for an appointment we had booked 3 weeks prior! Then I find out Ryan cancelled my appointment but kept the appointment after me!! Who does that? That right there is a shitty business and shitty customer service!!! He literally cancelled my appointment the day of, on the spot (we drove in from Airdrie), and he had the nerve to take his next appointment!!! I am curious as to why his next appointment was more IMPORTANT then the one I had, had scheduled for 3 weeks? At no point did Ryan check to see if I was mad, nor did he attempt to reschedule my appointment. The response I received from the shop owner after I sent a message was just as bad!!! If I could give this shop a -10 I would!!!! They ruined what was supposed to be a happy and exciting day for my husband and I! We will NOT be back anytime in the future, nor will we be recommending your shop to anyone we know!
