Meet Darren , owner and founder of HighWire tattoo.
Born in Calgary and later moving around Canada a bit in his youth Darren eventually planted roots back in Calgary.
Having been exposed to tattoo culture fairly early in life, harnessing a keen eye and creative perspective, the interest in tattooing was seeded and spawned from there.
The curiosity and yearning to learn and immerse himself only grew, eventually having a part in building up/ working for a local street shop in his late teens.
Diving into what was a fairly small community within the city at the time, Darren worked hard and stayed sharp when it came to versatility in tattoo applications, exploring a vast amount of styles and technical aspects, and after over 26 years of perseverance those attributes can be seen in his approach and dedication.
Ready to take on pretty well most projects that walk through the shop doors, Darren also has an astute and educated interest in Japanese traditional applications.
When Darren isn’t putting in work at the shop he enjoys spending time with his beloved dog out in the wilderness.
Get in touch through social media, or swing by the shop to book in!

Meet Dylan , co owner of HighWire tattoo.
Born and raised in southeast Calgary, Dylan has been leaving a mark in some creative manor or another since he could grip a crayon/ pencil.
Continuing various creative pursuits throughout junior/ high school, Dylan found himself being requested to draw tattoo designs for friends, not realizing what it would one day evolve into.
Eventually meeting Darren who’d already been tattooing a while at the time, Dylan became enamoured with the craft of tattooing, spending time at shops and soaking up what he could.
Starting out in a street shop he cut his teeth on being perceptive to clients ideas focusing on adaptability to create their intentions into tattoos.
After 20 years within the craft he maintains that adaptability and is well versed in an array of styles and applications with partial leaning towards illustrative traditional concepts.
When Dylan isn’t plugging away at the shop you can find him spending time with his fiancé likely catching live music at a local venue.
DM or swing by the shop for any and all inquiry regarding getting booked in!

Meet Gov , one of our resident artists who’s been with the shop for a few years now.
Growing up in Calgary, Gov has always had a knack for the creative, even doing a stint in ACAD.
After some time involved in the local music scene Gov found his inclination and creative voice within the craft of tattooing of which he’s been at for over 20 years, travelling the world and working a multitude of conventions.
Gov has a strong proclivity towards bold timeless traditional applications and has endless amounts of flash and pre-drawn designs showing his dedication.
When Gov isn’t tattooing or painting at the shop, you can find him rooting for his footie team at the pub or enjoying time down by the river with his pals.
Send Gov a DM to book an appointment or swing by the shop to check out his flash!

Meet Josh , HighWire’s newest addition to the team!
Getting his start out on the west coast, Josh has found himself grounded in Alberta.
With over 9 years experience he is a well rounded artist with stylistic leanings towards black n grey illustrative realism, but is willing and capable of taking on a vast array of styles and applications.
In his down time you can find Josh on the links enjoying a game of golf or spending time with his family and friends.
Get in touch with Josh to line up an appointment!
