What Our Clients Say

I had the best experience getting my navel piercing with Lany. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and she made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Her attention to detail was incredible, and you can tell she genuinely cares about doing the best job possible. She’s a perfectionist, which I really appreciated because I am too, and it gave me so much confidence that she wanted everything to be perfect before I left. She explained every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and made sure the placement suited my anatomy perfectly. I’m beyond happy with how my navel piercing turned out. It honestly exceeded my expectations. You can tell Lany truly loves what she does, and it shows in the care and effort she puts into her work. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Lany.

Karambir

I went with artist Dawn, this was my very first tattoo, so I was very nervous, Dawn was very assuring that it would be okay, she assured me if I needed any breaks it was alright, her line work is just truly amazing, and listened to everything I had to say about placement, size and art of my tattoo, she walked me through each step of the healing process so i understood how to take the best care of my tattoo for the best results. Overall an amazing, calm and hygienic experience, I plan on getting another tattoo in the future, and I recommend Dawn to anyone, especially anyone getting their first tattoo. 10/10 experience!

Jordon

I’ve had a whole bunch of my piercings done here by Syd and they are always incredibly well done. Syd does an amazing job and the rest of the staff are very friendly as well. Human Kanvas will always be my go to place to go for my piercings!!

Addison

I was in Calgary from out of town and booked a spur of the moment appointment to pierce my daith. Kaine was super professional and walked me through everything, including placement, aftercare and the upsides and downsides of various piercing choices (like healing multiple piercings as I recently had my tragus pierced). I can’t say enough about Kaine as a piercer - the placement looks flat against my head / ear, as it should be. I would highly recommend Kaine, and while I don’t live in Calgary, I expect to be back to get another piercing once this one is healed

Melissa

If I could give 10 stars I would, I got a medical tattoo done by Felipe. He was super professional, friendly and most importantly did a phenomenal job on my tattoo. The five hours in the chair flew by. I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend him to anybody! I had a great time chatting with Felipe as he’s a super genuine human being. Thank you so much. He also did a quick tattoo of my wife and daughter’s first initials.

Scott

My boyfriend and i walked in and got tattoos from Ket yesterday. She was absolutely great. Worked with us to get exactly what we wanted, was super friendly and professional, and had such a light touch with a keen sense of detail. We are so happy with our tattoos!

Allison

Had my second lobes and helix pierced by Symone and I couldn’t ask for a better experience! She was professional, in making sure I knew all of the post care instructions, the piercing process and pricing. In picking jewelry she was more than patient in my indecisiveness. The studio was clean and had the best vibe to the space as well. Will definitely be coming back to her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for piercings. She made the whole experience a comfortable and friendly environment that was just the best!

Lily

Staff is always super friendly. Everyone is very knowledgeable and the shop is very clean. Tiff is AMAZING. Shes super nice and very gentle. I highly recommend getting pierced by her! The tattoo artists are amazing as well. I have been tattooed by a number of different artists from here and every time its a great experience. They all make sure you're comfortable and happy with the placement of your piece. Very professional place and I highly recommend it!
