Review from Lexci M.

I visited Chris to get tattooed by him after watching his artwork and tattoos progress more and more throughout his career in Edmonton.
When I was young and notsosmart, I had a sick skull and crossbones tattooed on my asscheek. As I got older, I realized it wasn't as awesome as i thought it was and I asked for Chris' help to make it go away.
Chris does a lot of really cool large-scale Japanese style pieces, and I especially love how he can put an adorable spin on the subjects. I just wanted the skull gone, and I knew Chris would cover it with something rad in his custom style of art - so I just told him to draw me up "something cool" and I'd be happy to have some of his artwork on me.
A short time later, I get an email with an INCREDIBLE Japanese Kirin to cover my entire bum cheek and all the way down my thigh. It was perfect!
I booked in to have it started and after a few full-day sittings, I have a really really rad tattoo.
Chris keeps a reasonable schedule and was easy to get in to see, he fit me in in short notices, during days he had a cancellation and was ALWAYS early to the appointment, prepared with artwork, stencil, tattoo setup, and clean work space.
He was always friendly and engaging and I was comfortable knowing my artist was just as pumped on my tattoo as I was.
His rates are very reasonable and Showdown Tattoo is a great studio.
Just on the corner in Chinatown, it's decorated accordingly and also carries skateboards and accessories.
Now I need to see him again!
Go get a tattoo from Chris. It'll make you cooler. -
