“I came in about 4–5 days ago to get a vertical labret and an eyebrow piercing, and Connor did an amazing job! He was super patient with me and absolutely nailed both piercings, definitely a 10/10 experience. I’ve had little to no swelling, no bruising on my eyebrow, and my lip piercing is perfectly placed. Everything is healing beautifully. I just wanted to leave a review to say how happy I am and to highly recommend Connor! I’ll definitely be coming back for future piercings. Thanks, Connor! :)“

“I’ve had several tattoos done by SuSu, and she always does amazing work! Her communication is great, and I always appreciate how much time and effort she puts in to getting everything perfect. If you’re looking to get a new piece, I highly recommend SuSu as an artist!

Of the studios I’ve been to, NieU Studio is by far my favorite. The staff are accommodating, and they’ve really thought about the whole experience for guests, whether they’re getting a tattoo or supporting a person getting a tattoo.“

“Jason Middleton 4EVER ?‍⬛?‍⬛?‍⬛ my favorite tattoo I’ve ever gotten!!!!“

“Great work, awesome guy!! He is really funny and made the experience great. I recommend, I searched him up from Houston and he did not disappoint .“

“Came here to get my first tattoo with Vegas! I love it already and I'm super excited to see it once we get to color it in. They did a great job and I'm already looking forward to working with them again.“

“My best friend and I had a wonderful experience at Electric Kitty! i loved the studio its big but very cozy. Huge thanks to our artist Laura who was so welcoming and kind as well as a fantastic artist. We got the cutest ghost kitty tattoos! Thank you so much!“

“Amazing piercing shop! The front desk staff are lovely people, me and my mother went to get our rooks pierced, our piercer was Otto and he did a wonderful job, he was quick and the piercings themselves are straight and wonderfully placed! Not to mention we waited less than 20 minutes from arrival, to getting pierced. We highly recommend this studio!“

“I came in full of anxiety due to getting a pretty risky set of piercings. Sat in their beautiful waiting room while my anxiety built. As soon as Colin o came and grabbed me he went over everything in detail. He also told me he had only had a issue with one of these piercings the entire 16 years he's been doing this which instantly built trust because he was honest. Let's face it no one's perfect. But the way he was so thorough, honest, quick, and for the most part pain free made me feel extremely comfortable. This place has become my new piercing spot and I will definitely be recommending my family and friends to him. Thanks again Colin O!“

“Sasha King and Chris did an amazing job on both of our tattoos. HIGHLY Recommend both of them to get your tattoo work done. When I come back from AZ to visit Seattle again I’ll definitely be coming back for more work.“

“The shop is so cute, cozy, and clean. Joe did a tattoo on my leg and he was so kind, knowledgeable, and patient with me while we got the stencil just right. He does beautiful work and I could not be more happy with my tattoo!! I’m already trying to figure out when I can come back and get another one done by him!“

“I would give Michelle 100 stars if I could! I was taking a quick trip to Seattle and was looking to get my first tattoo, and after some research I found this wonderful studio. Not only was it spotless, but Evoluxe had such a welcoming environment that I felt right at home. Due to being in the city for a short period of time, Michelle was able to work me in at short notice and it is much appreciated! She not only informed me of the various pre care / after care steps, but she communicated each aspect of the process creating a seamless appointment. My tattoo is everything I ever dreamed of and I will most definitely be back for more! I recommend Michelle and her studio to anyone in the area or traveling who is looking for fantastic work!“

“I cannot recommend Ying's Tattoo highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was beyond incredible. Carson's artistry is unmatched--his ability to bring my vision to life with a stunning blend of watercolor and calligraphy was nothing short of masterful. Every line, every detail in this memorial tattoo for my pups holds meaning and beauty. Ying'a customer service was equally phenomenal. Thoughtful, responsive, and deeply invested in making sure every part of the process felt personal and smooth. They both truly went above and beyond, taking every one of my ideas and requirements and transforming them into something even more meaningful than I imagined--while adding their own creative flare that made the design shine. If you're looking for artists who care deeply about their craft and their clients, look no further. I'm already sending everyone I know to Ying's Tattoo!“

“The tattoo came out really well. Exactly what I asked for & the place was clean. Offered drinks while we waited. The tattoo artist made sure I liked the tattoo he drew. I would recommend this place.“

“Andres has been with Tracy for just over a week and is great! His sketch of my vision was exactly what I wanted! He made sure I was doing alright and had no issue with me needing a sustenance break or moments to just chill. He’s friendly, caring and empathetic. Tracy was great setting up the appointment for me. Thanks guys! I’ve got a stellar tattoo of my visit to Ballard, reminiscent of the Chihuly Glass exhibit!!“

“Had a great experience with Gunnor Faulk at Nova Expansion! Scheduled an appointment with him on behalf of my mother- and father-in-law to get matching tattoos for her 63rd birthday. He was exceptionally kind, welcoming, patient, and skilled with both of them. Attentive to cleanliness and care instructions. They were both nervous and he put them right at ease! They had a great experience and both of their tattoos—small line work in their handwriting—look super sharp. Saw some of his portfolio and know he’d be excellent for more extensive work, too. Would recommend him to anyone!“

“Needed my nose ring removed in a pinch and at a late hour none the less. Super nice staff, very friendly, they did it in a minute, and refused any payment. Definitely coming back for my next piercing.“

“10/10! my tattoos Josh did are the best ones i have. i have tourette’s syndrome so im not an easy client but josh is very professional and gives me as many breaks as i need and all of my tattoos from him are symmetrical with good lines and well saturated.“

“I am 50 and this is the best tattoo experience I have had. Staff is great. Artist are exceptional. For the older crowd; check out “Chief” he is an amazing artist and understands aging skin and the tattoo approach necessary.“

“Danny “One Shot” Chan was booked solid, but they snuck me in for a Saturday session and he brought my drawing to life. Nailed it!“

“I’ve been going to Thin for 6 years now — I wish I met him sooner! He always does absolutely incredible work, from cover ups to original pieces. The prices are also very reasonable. The thing I appreciate most is that Thin is accommodating and makes sure you are comfortable. Tattoos are permanent obviously so it’s important that you shop around for the right artist. With that being said, you will not regret going to Thin.“

“Eva is truly incredible. She is not only insanely talented, but such a genuine and kind artist to work with. She added the hummingbird to my existing piece and it blends so beautifully—you can tell how thoughtful and skilled she is with color, detail, and flow. The larger piece is also her work, and I’m constantly amazed at how vibrant, soft, and intentional everything looks.

Throughout the entire process, Eva made sure I was comfortable, checked in often, and created such a calm, welcoming experience. She’s so sweet, professional, and clearly passionate about her craft. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoos and can’t wait to get another one from her. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Steven did a great job! He does a quality work and gives you what exactly what you in vision. I appreciate how much he takes care of you through out the whole process after you get your tattoo with proper treatment.“

“Matt was incredible!! I flew in from NC and decided to get tattoos with a friend, he was friendly and responsive through the appointment setup. We had a couple scheduling changes and Matt just rolled with us, always friendly and didn’t make me feel like a bother. He was so helpful making sure our design was exactly what we wanted both in email before and at the shop. He took so much care setting up a clean area for work. I’m also incredibly impressed with his line work, even on a simple design he took the time to care and make sure it’s perfect! I’ll be recommending Matt to everyone I can from 3000 miles away.“
