Meet Garth

Garth Philpott

I'm Garth. I've been tattooing for years out of Calgary. I opened Last Tattoo because I wanted a shop that feels right.

Clean space, good people, honest work. I specialize in American Traditional, but I'm just as comfortable doing hand-poke, trash polka, black and grey, or whatever idea you bring in.

If you've got something in mind, reach out. We'll figure it out together. No pressure, no rush. Just a conversation.

“The most painless booking process ever. Sent Garth a DM, he got back to me the same day, and we had a date locked in within the week. The tattoo itself is gorgeous — exactly the vibe I described.”

Earned every word. Stories from the chair.

Garth did an incredible traditional piece on my forearm. Clean lines, bold colour, exactly what I wanted. The whole process was easy — I DM'd him, we talked about the design, and he nailed it first try.

Jordan M.

Got my first tattoo done by Garth and he made the whole experience so comfortable. No pressure, no rush. He took the time to get the placement right and the result is perfect. Already planning my next one.

Ashley R.

Been going to Garth for years now. Every piece he does is solid. His traditional work is some of the best in Calgary. The shop is clean, the vibe is chill, and he always makes time to chat about the design beforehand.

Mike T.

Garth did a coverup on my shoulder that I thought was impossible. He worked with what was there and turned it into something I actually love. Highly recommend reaching out to him if you've got an old tattoo you want fixed.

Sarah K.

Drove from Red Deer to get tattooed by Garth after seeing his work on Instagram. Worth every minute of the drive. His hand-poke work is clean and the healing was perfect. Already booked my next session.

Dylan P.

Garth is the real deal. No gimmicks, no upselling, just quality tattooing. He listened to what I wanted, gave honest feedback on sizing and placement, and the final piece was better than I imagined.

Tara L.

Third tattoo from Garth and every single one has held up beautifully. His traditional roses are next level. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their craft, this is your guy.
