Gypsy Rose Tattoo & Piercing

Awesome work and fabulous service, clean facilities:) Nina is an awesome artist and works with you to figure out what you will love for the rest of your life

Don’t get anything here the owners rude to people they lie to trap you into more time and more money as my sister was quoted a time for her back then told she’d have to pay double to have it finished cause their artists are losers who can’t work as fast as they say or they 100% planned to rip her off much better places in Calgary to get your ink done

Emily pierced two of my teens (ears, nose & lip) and she was kind, professional, put them at ease and answered all our questions- even the weird ones. Highly recommend!

As an out of towner I was looking for somewhere to get my second ear lobe piercing. I was pleased to find this place and receive such prompt and comfortable service. It is very clear the folk here know what they’re doing! My ears are healing quickly and it looks great. I’d definitely get another piercing from here when I’m back in town.

My wife got her tattoo here from Jo and she said it was an amazing place with an awesome atmosphere.

Damera is amazing! She not only is the best with colors but she's super sweet and so so talented. I would recommend anyone to go see her as she will be able to do whatever. Absolutely stunning work and very detailed. She is a top artist for sure!

I’ve gotten three piercings here now. Every time I go they’re caring, take their time and make sure I know what I am getting myself into. They also take their work very seriously so they don’t let you do things like tiny dainty jewelry right off the hop, which isn’t conducive to healing anyway. If you want it done right, Gypsy Rose is the place you need to go! 10/10 recommend. I will definitely go back if/when I want more! The best part is, if anything goes wrong, you just head back to them and they’ll fix you up. Even if you need help putting in new jewelry or anything like that! Awesome service:)

I had a wonderful experience here for my first non-ear piercing! All of the staff who helped me were extremely kind. The piercer did a great job and I’m happy with the outcome! I would definitely recommend this shop to friends and family in the future:)

Very professional environment.not all scene. Made it a great first experience. Ask for Naia.

Highly recommend! Always a great experience in this shop! The staff are friendly, informative and super helpful with piercings old and new!

Online booking is easy to use.

Staff is friendly. The space is very clean and sanitary. Music and movies were playing, so it’s a very relaxed welcoming feel.

I went for a daith and conch piercing. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time.

Their aftercare instructions were clear and I had no issues while my piercing healed.

I wish they had more variety of jewelry at the time of my visit.

I was tattooed by Daryle and had an AMAZING experience! He was so kind and gentle, the space was clearly queer friendly, and I felt very safe. He did some Pokemon cats for me and they are SOOO CUTE! Would absolutely come back, 10/10 recommend!

Wow, where do I even start.

First off, every time I’m in this store I feel get bad vibes and feel very unsafe. This store is highly unprofessional and the vibes inside are awful. They have "YYCs friendliest shop" in their social media bio yet are filled with many very rude and judgemental staff who do not deserve their jobs one bit and also don't know how to do it right.

I have personally seen the staff talk badly about customers in front of me, which is completely inappropriate. But let me go into detail for you. I was there to book an appointment with one of my friends, and there was another customer being helped by another staff at the front desk while we were there, when the other customer left, Dominique and Lucas proceeded to call her the not so nice way of a name for a female dog, and said other rude things about her, right as we were standing there. At my very last appointment with this shop before I decided to quit coming here, the shop owner, Nina, was talking badly about a former employee, Ryan, in front of myself and other customers. I, along with many others see this as very unprofessional and weird. Nina should NOT own a shop if this is the way she acts and at the very least, save the chatty gossip and cruel words for the break room, not to say in front of customers.

I've gone to see both Lucas and Sarah for piercings multiple times and let me tell you, they are the worst piercers I've ever been pierced by. Lucas pierced my septum, but he pierced it through the cartilage, not the 'sweet spot' where it should be. It was super low, rested on top of my top tip and just rested near my bottom lip, and was uncomfortable in general. I came into the shop to see if I could get a refund or have it redone, but they fought me on the fact it was done properly, which any quick research can show you it was 100% not. It did not heal and I took it out. Wasted $100. Went to see a more reputable piercer a year later, in which I showed them photos of the previous piercings, they confirmed it was not done right and that repierced it properly for me free of charge. I've only gotten a lobe piercing done by Sarah, but that doesn't change the fact she is one of the most unkind people I've ever met, she has an all around awful attitude and gives the shops 100% more bad vibes then it already has. Based on looking at her portfolio and social media, she does not pierce septums properly either.

They also do not downsize their jewelry, which is very unfortunate since their jewelry is already very bulky. I had my tongue pierced with Lucas and the original bar was long to accommodate for swelling, which is 100% understandable and the proper thing needed for a fresh piercing, but after I waited the suggested recovery period, I went in to change my jewelry since the bar was long and hit my teeth, Lucas told me they "don't do that here", and leaving it resulted in the need of dental fillings.

Take your business elsewhere if you're looking get any and all services by done Sarah, Lucas, Dominique or Nina, I promise you these people don't deserve your time or money.

I have decided to remain anonymous because I have concerns for my safety with them having my information.

Came in to get a couple of ear pearcings. It was quick and painless and everyone was lovely.

Always such a pleasure getting work done at this shop. Dom has been my artist for going on 8 years now and I fully trust her to create an amazing masterpiece by just mentioning an idea.

Got an armor sleeve from them this year. Amazing artist, she was talented and passionate about her work. I will definitely be going back.

I reached out to the online consultant option and they responded very quickly Jo was recommended for the designs I provided that I wanted. She was amazing. I had 2 sets of Tattoos done. She added her artistic style to them. I love my new additions to my Tattoo collection I am booked for my next consultation with Daryle to do the next styles I want. I highly reccomend this Tattoo designs company to anyone looking for versatile design and talent.

Tattoo done by Daryle today. Best experience I’ve had getting a tattoo. Daryle was super friendly, and did an excellent tattoo. Would definitely go back again!

I walked in last minute and got a piercing done right away. Very knowledgeable piercer and clean business. I'd definitely go back.
