I went to A Ink for a tattoo that covered half my forearm and was pretty simple a snake with flowers. It took 21/2 hrs. They did an amazing job. I however was charged $705.00. You think I had a sleeve done. They charged me $100 to hold my appt. Then $605.00. They said it was 655.00, but kept the rest of the $100 I gave them. They charged taxes for using Venmo and a paint fee. I never heard a tattoo shop charging for paint. I totally felt scammed. The tattoo shop wasn't even nice. I literally was the only person there. I will never go back. Great tattoo but they will scam you. read more

Props to the tattoo artist Mia for who good quality work! But that's the only thing that was good. The customer service wasn't good, it looked like she was annoyed when I asked to move the stencil. If you speak mandarin, you get good service at this shop. Also, the payment they do cash but they don't have a card reader. So I had to pay through Zelle but it was over the amount I could give so I had to sit there and call becu, but my bf ended up paying for it so we could just leave! Then later we see we got charged twice so we had to call them AGAIN. read more

I had seamless experience with this establishment from the beginning to the end. I made the appointment through ig and got the response pretty quick. The place was casual and clean. Parking was easy, too. When I got there, I waited a little bit for Mia, but I didn't mind at all. I felt assured that she wouldn't rush her work, and I was right! She took her times to understand what I really wanted. I picked this dainty flower tattoo with some tiny details. She didn't miss anything! For the first time, my tattoo turned out exactly like what I envisioned! It's beautiful! Thank you, Mia! read more

This was my first time getting a tattoo and this place was great mama!! I didn't get the girl's name who did my tat, but she was really shy and sweet and ate my tat up!! it was hella quick too, they told me my design would take about 1-2 hours, girly finished in like 30 mins they charged me $250 for the tat, idk if thats like cheap? expensive? Either way i'd come back ps. don't ask me what my tat is, i just asked for squiggles and a moon and if they could do it in red read more

I found A Ink Tattoo on Instagram and was thrilled because it is so hard to find an Asian-style tattoo shop in the Seattle area that specializes in more delicate linework! I got a pretty large tattoo (about 8 inches across) and Mia did a beautiful job. Her shading and linework were so crisp, especially for working with very thin lines. I had to wait about 3.5 months for my appointment from the time of my inquiry, but I think it is a good sign an artist is booked! If you are investing in quality art, I think it is worth it. I also personally hate talking to the artist when I get a tattoo, I prefer to nap or just daydream, and Mia was very respectful of that and had a pillow there for my comfort. :) I am already thinking of what I want next!! read more

A Ink Tattoo - This is freshly done, pre-saniderm. It has scabbed less than other tattoos I've had done in the past and is healing wonderfully. - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They only accept online payments and they will charge you taxes, which is insane, they don't have a card machine so you have to pay extra for online taxes no matter which app you use 。。。。 Don't come here, it's so dumb Say yes before you get a tattoo " I was born to be brave". On WeChat they say it's 150 If I wanted it in color so they say it was an additional $10 which is 160$ and I personally asked him if it was 160? Just an extra $10? But it ended up with 211$$$$$!!!!!! DO NOT COME if you don't have any cash read more

I rarely leave reviews unless the service was really good or really bad. This was my first tattoo, but after reading a majority of great reviews I felt confident in this shop. My experience however was awful. Right away the artist was making me feel like an annoyance and a burden because I was trying to explain the design. She was giving me a lot of negative looks and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I love the tattoo and she was really quick, but the way she made me feel is absolutely unacceptable for anyone in customer service ESPECIALLY a tattoo shop. I do not recommend anyone going here unless you're fine with them making you feel awful. read more

Just got my first tattoo today at A Ink Tattoo. There are two women doing tattoos there, Mia and Angela. Both are great artists and very professional in their work. Mia did my tattoos. I saw the work of their clients before, during, and after my session and all were works of art. I ended up getting two tattoos today, one on my wrist and one on my foot. I am very happy with both. When I am ready for my next tattoo I will be coming back to this place for sure. Edited Note: for those getting their first tattoos, it burns afterwards for a good 24 hours. Applying ice was the only thing I found that helped. read more

I just got home with my new piece and I can't stop looking at it. I found the studio and artist Mia on Instagram and had spent YEARS studying and researching what I wanted and what type of tattoo I wanted. After months of following Mia's work, specifically her floral work, on Instagram I reached out and sent her an email with my tattoo idea and components I wanted. Mia communicated clearly, professionally and collaboratively via email before our appointment and at the beginning when she showed me the design she had put together for my piece. I could have cried happy tears - the design she came up exceeded my expectations and is GORGEOUS. She is light-handed, meticulous, and detail-oriented. Her lines are beautiful, delicate and just perfect! Thank you Mia for putting this 5 year in the making piece to ink - you've helped me memorialize 4 very important parts of my life read more

VICTORY To me, victory means to put effort into a project like a competition: some win,some lose, depends how you take it. The win is always good. Don't stop learning because a loss is a les- son. When I lose,I study harder, and to the best of my ability. If you believe in Victory you win because Victory believes in you. The treatment team will always back you up. Your thera- pist is always by your side. When you have an opportunity to grow, you will know what freedom would look like. Let the small things go, focus on the ＇big picture. Victory is knowing that you've done your best. If you've done your best-you've won. The voices that said you couldn't win are silent. Artist- You did not come this far to walk away without your Victory! By Zhen Chen read more

I had a great session with Amber yesterday. I was visiting from the East coast and found her on Instagram. Absolutely loved her fine line work. It was easy to communicate with her via messaging before my arrival. I did ask for a peek at the sketch before arriving and didn't receive one, but she was easy to work with once there to make any changes. I love my half sleeve and can't wait to return to finish! read more

Mia is absolutely amazing! She took my idea and made it better than I imagined. She is so detailed and careful with her work and gave me two sizes to chose from which I loved. She also let me pick the color of my flowers and the pretty pink I chose was perfect for the delicate flowers I was looking for. I will most definitely be coming back to add more of her flowers to my arm and maybe for some of her other designs she had available on the wall. I think she's a great artist and some of the other artists were really nice too, will say some things could have came off rude,not to me personally, but another artist there seemed irritated right off the bat to one of her customers. Really it just depends on your expectations, if you expect to be chatting away with your artist this isn't the place, these artists seem to be very focused while tattooing and just prefer to speak in their own language to their coworkers. If you don't like that then this might not be your place but it didn't bother me at all! The beautiful work is what's important to me! read more

I just had two pieces done at A Ink Tattoo and both turned out gorgeous. The shop is in a convenient location with very easy parking. Inside, the shop is extremely clean and has a calm relaxed feel. The shop was pretty busy during my appointment yet they never made me feel rushed. Everyone was so considerate throughout my 3.5 hr session. I got to see some incredible artists at work and they didn't mind me zoning out to my audiobook. I just had a couple inspiration photos for Mia to go off. The design she had ready when I walked in far exceeded my expectations. Her line work is very precise and detailed. I'm completely in love with my new tattoos! read more

I have been here two times and had an incredible experience both times. I worked with Mia - her communication was great via Instagram DM and she asked a lot of questions to make sure we got the design right. What people are saying about "bad service" is a cultural difference. The service was great, very to the point. I had a great time listening to music and podcasts while sitting for 4.5 hours - the space is quiet despite a number of artists working there. I'm in love with my tattoo ~ thanks Mia! read more

We came in for three super small, super simple tattoos. I had spoken previously with the store owner about combining the three of us under one shop minimum, and paying any additional hourly rate not covered by it. He agreed, and said he had availability that day. I told him it would take 45 mins to get there, and he apparently heard 5, as we had to turn around and go home shortly before arrival. We made an appointment for the day after next. Upon arrival, attempts to discuss and confirm cost were deflected, and in the end after the work was done, we were each charged the shop minimum, coming out to just shy of $200 for what could not have been more than 30 minutes all together of work from start to finish. After telling the employee about the arrangement I made with the owner, they called him, and he told them to charge us for three individual minimums. This was more than we could afford, and we would not have gotten all three if we knew he would not honor his word. This was an unethical bait and switch, and thought I loved the shop and the artists, I will not do business with such a dishonest owner. Beware and make sure you know and agree upon EXACTLY what you will pay before you get in the chair if you choose to come here. read more

yeah well this didn't go as planned.. came into the shop with an appointment set up. Told the gal who did my work what I wanted, Angel numbers 333. She told me to pick a font of what I wanted the 333 in. But the vibes were just super rushed and pressured to pick a font especially since they didn't have the type writer style I wanted. Settled for something basic since the fonts they offered were not up to my wants. The tattoo process didn't take long, 20 mins tops. So I was in and out of the shop in less than an hour. I couldn't gauge what the tattoo looked like with all the blood wrapped up but after i gave it time to heal I noticed that the 3's are all janked up. Ones noticeably thicker than the other, ones thinner than the other. Overall this is some lame amateur job for just tracing of numbers. I'm not satisfied at all. Boooo read more

Mia was wonderful and made me amazing art for my arm. The whole process was simple and easy.

My partner DM'd the owner of this studio and said we both wanted to get matching tattoos; her on her ankle and me on top of my hand (I already have tattoos on both my hands so I know the feeling). The owner said yes and that we could come in same day at 6pm to meet with Kim. We were so excited. We drove 30 minutes, only to meet the artist and him saying he can't do hand tattoos. I told him we put it on the request when we spoke to the owner on IG messages and he said "I don't do that. Do you want it somewhere else?" And we ended up just saying no, because I had it planned on my hand already and we informed them ahead of time - with them agreeing!! Doesn't make sense. We wasted an hour for nothing. To the owner - don't agree if your artists aren't gonna do it. read more

Mia is fantastic!! I've been looking for an artist like her with more of the delicate style you often see from tattoo artists in Asia. Her work speaks for itself. I've gotten two pieces done by her so far (one was a half sleeve) and plan on getting more from her in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff, very clean. Came in for a consultation for a small piece. I ended up doing it since it didn't take long and they had time. I went to a few places for consult (one a very well known studio in Seattle) I chose A Ink because they seemed to be the most honest. I didn't feel like I was getting taken advantage of. Would definitely recommend! read more

I had an awesome experience with A Ink Tattoo. From the first email I sent to see if this shop was interested through the end of the appointment, the communication was swift and respectful. From looking on Instagram, I could tell that the quality and detail of the work was exceptional, and my tattoo came out better than I expected. The shop itself is very different from other tattoo parlors; it is small, quiet, clean and has more of a hair salon vibe. Mia works without speaking often; she is very focused and extremely quick. Not only would I go back - I have already scheduled another appointment. read more

Reached out to Mia because I saw her work on instagram and absolutely loved her detailed work and style! She was super responsive in asking what I wanted, if I had reference pictures, and other details to make sure I would get the ideal tattoo. I wanted a custom tattoo of a hydrangea with a phrase in Vietnamese that meant "love Mom" and Mia drew up the perfect one for me!! It was my first tattoo so I was really nervous but she has a really calming presence that put me at ease. I had such a good experience that I booked another appointment to get a large dragon tattoo on my shoulder, and no surprise it came out better than I could have imagined. Already booked a third appointment if that tells you anything about how much I love her work and trust her!! Note: she is super busy especially with a pandemic going on -- so be patient and gracious when waiting for designs and booking appointments! I promise it's worth the wait :) read more

Mia did a great job on the tattoo. Good thing it made up for her bitter attitude. It was my friend's first tattoo so we wanted it to be perfect - like anyone would want their second, third, or fourth tattoo perfect. When making minor adjustments and asking reasonable questions, Mia made it obvious she was getting impatient and would scoff in our face at times. Like I said, the tattoo is beautiful but I would not come back because the experience was terrible. Thanks though. read more

Fantastic experience with A Ink Tattoo & Mia, our artist for two coordinating tattoos. We stumbled across her beautiful artwork on Instagram and contacted her earlier in the year to discuss our ideas. Mia was extremely responsive and provided artwork mockups very quickly. Our appointments were unfortunately delayed several months due to the pandemic, but it was very easy to keep in contact & get rescheduled once the studio was able to open again. Mia's studio is bright & clean and easy to find as well as offering ample (free) street parking. There was a high attention to cleanliness and hygienic practices. Our appointments were quick and efficient. Would definitely recommend her to others looking for finely drawn, delicate, artistic tattoos. I'm sure I will be back for more in the future. Thank you so much, Mia! read more

Lizzy was super great, very professional and patient with me as I found the font that I wanted for my tattoo. She has an incredibly steady hand and she's very quick with her work. She was also so kind and gave me some lifesaver mints, what a sweetheart. I will definitely come back for another tattoo soon :) read more

I wish it was possible to leave zero stars on a review. I am beyond upset. I went to Mia who was extremely unprepared the day of my appointment. She didn't even have a smaller mirror for me to be able to view the placement of the stencil so I was battling with using my phone camera to get a proper stencil placement. I felt very rushed by her and felt like when making my requests it was a big burden to her. When the tattoo was complete she didn't even show me and rushed me to pay and leave. I had to be the one to ask her to take a picture of the tattoo so that I could see it. I left my appointment feeling very emotional and felt completely unseen and overall had a horrible experience. Tattoos should not be rushed because they are permanent!!! I didn't even feel comfortable having her touch it up. It has only been 6 days and the tattoo is very faded as you can see. When I reached out to her about it she didn't even acknowledge or apologize for my experience or the fact that I was upset and simply responded with "ok no problem. We can do the touch up" after I had stated that I didn't feel comfortable having her go over it considering how the first experience went. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE OR COMING TO HER. Find an artist that will actually listen to you and make you feel seen because at the end of the day, ink is permanent. I am hoping I can find an artist to fix up her poor work. The essence of the tattoo (and the tattoo itself was lost). read more

Her name was Yuanyou, and you can't go wrong with her work. I got a small tattoo so it didn't take too long, and I am 100% satisfied with it!
