Strike First Tattoo Company

Definitely 5 stars! Mac, our artist, was absolutely phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with the final product.(4 of us got tattoos together) The whole shop crew was great and I can’t wait to get something else again from them in the future. As a local, this is my first choice for a tattoo in Banff. Thanks Mac, Jay and everyone else in the shop, not only did I leave happy but I enjoyed the whole experience!

My boyfriend and I came here earlier today to get last minute tattoos while we were visiting Banff, and I have to say this is one of my favourite shops I’ve been to yet. The atmosphere was awesome, the two who tattooed my boyfriend and I were dynamite individuals and the owner himself was a sick guy. Good pricing for quality work and I’d be willing to travel from the coast to the Rockies again for the same service. 10/10 check this place out!!

4 of us got a tattoo from the souvenir album and asked the artist (MAC) to modify it to look like Cascade Mountain. He did an amazing job! The owners are also very nice and professional! Highly recommended

I have been to Strike First Tattoo many times since they opened. Jay has done three tattoos for me. The artistry, the atmosphere and the staff are all great. From the booked process to the finished work, it was all a positive experience. I will be back again for sure. Highly recommend stopping in to see them.

All the team are SOOO lovely, they Always make you feel relaxed and absolutely kill the tattoos!! Lia does all of mine and I recommend her to anyone who wants tattoos!! Thanks guys you’re the best <3PS the studio looks so dope too

Had a fine line tattoo today by Nila. She was absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend her enough! The tattoo is amazing and super cute! Fantastic experience from start to finish! Can’t wait to come back for my next one

Great experience at Strike First this past weekend. My wife and I got some tattoos for our anniversary. Laura was fantastic helping us with scheduling, matching us up with the artists, and setting everything up remotely as we came in from out of town. I had an absolute blast chatting with Jay as he worked on mine and my wife had a great time hanging out with Mac. The work was awesome and the aftercare has been the easiest of any tattoos we've gotten. I'd give you 6 stars if I could. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Banff!

I’ve had the pleasure of having two tattoos done by Lia. She is cool, kind, and puts you at ease immediately.Her work is wonderful, and you can tell she puts a lot of care and consideration in to each piece.Jay and Laura are also very welcoming and genuinely happy to have you in the shop.Jay has put a lot of care into creating the shop, ensuring a safe & clean environment.I highly recommend getting your next tattoo with Lia!

I have gotten two tattoos there from Lia, and she does amazing work!It's a clean shop, and they do great work. I would highly recommend anyone going there to get a tattoo.

I could not rave any more amazing things about this shop than I have.I am from out of province, and from the moment I called months ago to make an appointment, Laura had made the booking process so well and easy. She is incredible helpful, friendly and informative!When we arrived, we had a little trouble finding the shop itself but after calling Laura, she gave us directions and we found the place no problem!Lia did my back tattoo with the leaves and berries. She was INCREDIBLY kind, funny and informative. She was patient with me and encouraged me to continue on as this piece turned out to be a little more sensitive than I thought! She art work really blew me away. I can’t wait to come back and finish it up, and come back and see my new friends again!!
