Got a septum here! I was pierced by LJ that person in particular was super nice. The shop is really beautiful, very minimalistic and clean. I will say when I first walked in there I felt really awkward. I told them multiple times I had an appointment but needed to run to the bathroom and I got weird attitudes and looks from the two people upfront like I was lying or something idk I felt unwelcome. I don’t think I would go back for the fact I felt uncomfortable majority of the time. If you don’t care about that stuff, then I’d recommend! Pricing was also very fair.
I’m as regular a client can be to a tattoo studio and I’ve been to 24 other studies between Portland and Everett.
Always greeted kindly by front of house staff, always listened to, always taken care of, always delighted by the outcome.
Bella has tattooed me twice and Khwezi has tattooed me 13 times in projects from small to large to re-dos including a full coverup on my husband.
This is the place I send people.
This place is nothing but friendly and efficient. Very welcoming environment and professional, knowledgeable staff, beautiful and diverse selection of jewelry. I've seen LJ for ear piercings twice now and both experiences were fantastic; quick, clean and (mostly!) painless. You're always in good hands at Laughing Buddha!
