I'm leaving this review mainly for clarity for future clients, especially first-timers. Prior to my appointment, I was told pricing would be around $200-300 depending on design and time. I ended up paying over $700 total between a deposit, a card charge, and cash for three small finger tattoos. It was not clearly explained beforehand that the pricing was per tattoo rather than an overall estimate, which was confusing given the size and placement (these were finger tattoos, not a hand piece or larger work). The tattoos themselves are fine, but the process felt very confusing. There was also a misunderstanding regarding a cash payment that was initially assumed to be a tip, which added to the confusion. This was eventually corrected and refunded after I followed up, and I did receive receipts. Everything was ultimately resolved, but clearer communication around pricing and payment would have made this a much better experience. I recommend confirming total cost, per-tattoo pricing, and payment handling in writing before starting. read more

Staff was very understanding with the alterations to my tattoo and I was very happy with the end result. Especially since my tattoo was a cover up I was concerned but the team was very patient and worked with me until I liked the design and felt comfortable to get the tattoo. The tattoo shop itself is very clean and professional. Would recommend. read more

After shopping around Seattle, I found Dzul ink lounge through instagram and decided to book a consultation. I met with Thomas and described my ideas and visions for the project, and he was super professional and kind to me throughout the entire process. They were willing to work around my budget and figure out the coverup situation in a way that made it easy for me to understand and budget financially. Thomas provided the best consultation experience I've ever had by far, he is a great communicator and runs the front end of the shop very well. On the day of my tattoo, I showed up excited for my big day, and I got VIP treatment being the only appointment that day. My artist was Alex who is legitimately one of the MOST KIND people I've ever met. I could tell he brings years of experience and passion with him in his shop, and I felt completely comfortable and at ease through the entire experience. We went for 4 hours with a few short breaks, and Alex was totally compassionate and professional the whole time. Seriously such a nice guy too. Alex is a tattoo legend. I am very happy with the work done and look forward to getting back in the shop for another piece eventually! You can trust this team with your very important sentimental pieces and know that they're going to show up for you. Coverups come with their own unique set of challenges and Alex is a true talent when it comes to the ink and needle. Thank you all so much for a positive experience, being able to look in the mirror and love what I see is such a powerful experience and I have you all to thank!!! Much love- Kyle 7/14/25 read more

Dzul Ink Lounge - Wolf coverup done by Alex!! - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I wanted the best so I went to Dzul Ink. Alejandro created a beautiful image + text tat based on my input that is exactly what I wanted and more. He's a sweetheart and a fine artist with amazing freehand skill. Tai will manage everything to get you scheduled and done; you're in capable hands. A beautiful shop too with a sophisticated vibe. I truly got my money's worth. Highly recommend. read more

I had a cover-up done today by Jacob, and I honestly couldn't be happier. He brought my vision to life in a way I didn't think was possible. This was my second time trying to cover this particular area, and seeing how beautifully it turned out brought me so much joy. The pictures truly speak for themselves. I'm beyond grateful for Jacob's talent and artistic skill. I can't wait to come back for more work--thank you for making this such a great experience. read more

I came here for my first tattoo, a 2-inch rose, which they charged about $800 for. I have been told repeatedly that I was royally screwed over and upcharged by about double what this tattoo is worth, even considering the color work. Their pricing is not transparent in the slightest. read more

I had the best experience getting my nose pierced with Cata Dzul! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Cata was knowledgeable, comforting, and we bonded immediately! She took the time to explain everything before, during, and after the piercing, making sure I knew exactly what to expect. She also recommended the best placement for my piercing while checking in with me to ensure I was happy with it. Loren was also amazing--she really inspired the type of nose ring I wanted and was super thorough in helping me pick the right one. I do wish they had a bigger selection of nose rings, but Loren's insights helped me find something I love. A Few Extra Details: Pricing: Piercing service was $70, and the ring I chose was $85-$90. Their aftercare products (cleaning spray/ointment) range from $10-$30, and they have them available for purchase in-store. My total with tip came out to about $230. Walk-In Experience: I arrived Tuesday at 4 PM PT with no appointment and only had one person ahead of me, so the wait wasn't bad at all. Clean & Professional: The shop was spotless, well-organized, and clearly run by a team that cares about their craft. Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations--the process was smooth, way less painful than I imagined, and my piercing looks perfect! If you're considering getting a piercing, this is 100% the place to go. Cata and Loren are amazing, and I'll definitely be back in the future! read more

Update in response to the owner's reply to my review (see my original review below): - I was not aggressive towards Nicole during the art review. You (Alex) were out of the shop on a 20 minute break while we met. If your Glassdoor reviews are any indication of how you treat your employees, of course Nicole would use the excuse that I was "aggressive" and therefore she made a scheduling error 2 weeks later. I simply asked if the second design was also finished and later sent an email that I would want to see the design first prior to starting the white out process. - I did not state that I wanted the "most minimal option" for my tattoo coverup. I have no idea what this means considering I provided specific reference photos of what I was seeking. I provided these same reference photos to another tattoo artist to rework the bird tattoo and only paid $320 instead of the $1200 - $1500 you quoted. There were never any price estimate revisions communicated to me. - My other Yelp reviews are irrelevant to my experience with your business, and it aligns with the other negative reviews from other customers that have worked with you. However, since you mentioned it.. in 15 years on Yelp, I've written 243 reviews. Only 25 (10%) have consisted of a 1-2 star rating. That hardly seems like a "lot" of negative reviews. The majority of those businesses that I have provided those ratings to have an overall rating of 2-3 stars (your business included). Which goes back to my point that my negative ratings align with experiences other customers have had. - I take full accountability for failing to research your business more extensively before I signed the contract and paid my deposits. Had I seen the reviews from others, I would have saved myself the headache that I inevitably encountered. However, the poor experiences that I described in my initial review along with email documentation to you expressing my poor experiences are what resulted in the bank siding in my favor and refunding my deposit when I disputed it. read more

I highly recommend Dzul Ink Lounge! My husband had a great experience here before, and after my visit, I completely understand why. This was my second tattoo ever, and the experience was amazing. I had a general idea of what I wanted but wasn't sure about the font or placement. Tai was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the process. Alejandro was professional and made me feel completely comfortable, especially given the placement of my tattoo. He took the time to try different stencils in the areas I was considering and was extremely patient with me. As someone who tends to be anxious, I truly appreciated the judgment-free and calming atmosphere. The tattoo I wanted was fine-line lettering of lyrics from Innerbloom by RÜFÜS DU SOL, and this was by far the best tattoo experience I've had. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience make every penny worth it. For something that will be on my body forever, I couldn't have asked for a better place. I'll definitely be returning to Dzul for future tattoos! read more

Found my new tattoo studio in Seattle! Thank you so much for the amazing and understanding consultation. The quality and commitment was 100%. Alejandro, Alex you are A1. I will be back!!! They do any type of artwork you need and if you need help With ideas with placement or fixing tats, and super realistic portraits. THANK YOU for being apart of my life's masterpiece and adding your touch and beautiful talent art to me. 10 Thank youuuu, I'll be back and sending fam and friends! read more

Triniti was absolutely amazing!! This is my first surface piercing so I was pretty nervous but Triniti answered any questions I had and helped me feel more at ease. During the service I literally did not feel a thing besides the clamp. The healing process was a breeze, pretty much no bruising at all, minimal swelling no bleeding. Just got the bar swapped and I'm happier than ever. 110% will be seeing Triniti for any other future piercings. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Dzul Ink Lounge - Anti-eyebrow dermal - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been looking for a tattoo artist/studio to help me craft a coverup design for my first tattoo. My style leans more realism so I was looking for someone with skill in details, and I fell in love with the work of Alex & Jacob from their Instagram accounts. My fiancé and I decided to check them out for our matching tattoo of our two dogs, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We called and planned a design session to start, which helped calm my nerves with an art review over zoom before we came in and had our tattoos done simultaneously. Alex did an amazing job with my fiancé on his first tattoo & Jacob did a phenomenal job with my smaller version. I even added on an additional little tattoo because I was having such a great experience. We left the seats incredibly pleased and already have our next tattoo sessions planned After two iffy tattoo experiences at other places, Dzul Ink Lounge provided everything I was hoping for - design help for a custom look, modern technology to make the final product stunning & excellent skill by the tattoo artists. Highly recommend checking these guys out for your next ink session! read more

Dzul Ink Lounge - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I sought an artist who could bring what I wanted to LIFE. Im not one to just throw anything on my body like all my tattoos have a significant meaning to me and i needed an artist who could deliver. I looked at various artists, but none compare to Jacob & Alejandro at Dzul Ink Lounge. They were excited about doing the piece especially knowing what it meant to me. The entire time I felt at ease especially with the atmosphere that they've created at Dzul Ink Lounge and how they treat their clients. From start to finish I was involved in the creative process and found myself impressed with the overall experience that I have had other works of art done. Whether it's tattoo's, piercings to body art Dzul Ink Lounge has created works of art for my Husband and my sister as well like they are literally the only ones we feel comfortable and confident with in not just understanding our vision, but bringing it to life. read more

Been talking with them since June via zoom meeting and emails, booked an appt, flew in from New York and they didn't show up for my appt.... Called me 20 minutes after my appt time, I had already left them a voicemail that I was leaving after waiting til 15 minutes after my appt. So disappointed in everything about this situation. Would really like my deposit back as well!!!! read more

This was my second time working with Dzul Ink Lounge. My first tattoo--a giant octopus spanning my chest, shoulder, and back--always gets compliments and my experience over the 20+ hour session was positive as well. This visit was for something much simpler: a small song lyric on my wrist. But what really mattered to me was that my wife was getting two tattoos--only her second and third ever--after a less-than-ideal first experience elsewhere. Tai and Alejandro exceeded even my high expectations. They were incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with my wife, helping her through every step of the design and placement process. Watching her collaborate with them to get exactly what she envisioned meant everything. Truly grateful--customer for life! read more

I've gotten tattoos in many studios across the US and this is BY FAR the most professional studio I've been in. From the detailed website to the consult/art review/ink session everyone paid close attention to what I'm looking for and adjusted as needed. These guys are definitely the best at coverups and white on black, using elite techniques and products. Alejandro is super talented in specialized techniques. The chair was mega comfortable (don't underestimate the importance of that when sitting for hours!) and Alejandro kept me informed and checked in throughout the process to ensure I was happy. They even sent me off with an aftercare kit. These people are true artists so if you want something beyond flash go here. You might get a shock at the quote but just know, you'll be paying for talented artistic investment and high skill level. Highly recommend!! read more

I got my bridge pierced from Cata after someone else in a different state messed it up. The bridge takes a ridiculous amount of time to ensure it's straight and she never made me once feel like I was being rushed. Cata was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to me. She valued my input on the placement and listened to everything I said as well as providing her professional opinion with explanations. The shop was extremely clean and peaceful and a lot of their amazing artwork is on display. Since I just moved here, I will definitely be going back for any other piercings I want. read more

I got my very first tattoo at Dzul Ink Lounge. The entire process from my initial art review to the final appointment was easy and stress-free. The design team did a great job listening to my ideas and incorporating them into the final design. Alejandro is an incredibly talented tattoo artist. He's a complete pro and was great at walking me through the process and putting me at ease during some of the more painful parts of the tattoo process. The final product is a beautiful watercolor style hummingbird. It surpassed all of my expectations and I have gotten so many compliments. Aside from the amazingly talented and professional staff, the place itself is clean and comfortable. I recommend Dzul Ink Lounge and Alejandro to anyone wanting an amazing looking tattoo and a great experience. read more

Ohh.... no no no. You don't get to revise the story after the fact. Let me clarify for future readers: [I think what may have happened here was a lack of verbal clarity between designer and client.] Eyeroll. I guess so. But if so whose fault is that? It's your business. The onus of clarity is on you. Failing to do so can happen, sure. And when it does you need to make it right by issuing a refund. Keeping it after you've not been clear is deceitful. [However, we do require you to sign a policy form and we are very transparent about our process] I suppose that's true up until the point where you don't deliver the design as discussed for anywhere near the estimate agreed upon. And your solutions are (1) an alternate rinky-dink design or (2) an offer to make adjustments to get the art where the client believes it should be for yet another increase of fee. I guess it's true that you are clear about the refusal to give a refund even though you don't provide what you said you would when the deposit was made. [The reason why we operate like this is for maximum time-management, devoting personal attention to clients] Maybe you believe that prohibiting a client to even meet an artist ahead of time qualifies as "devoting personal attention" but, I tell you, it's just plan weird and feels like the exact OPPOSITE of personal attention. Especially when it gives your designer some odd sort of plausible deniability of blaming the pricing inflation on the artist- who the client is not allowed to speak to. [Along with this, you were given an opportunity to schedule an art review where you were able to make critiques to your design and take a different creative route with it that would lower the quote you were given] You mean the review where I was shown an oddball design and quote more than double the estimate? Okay, sure. The reality was that I was quoted one price based on a planned design. Then when I showed up the design wasn't even done. The designer was literally whipping it together while I waited. Then, it wasn't even really the design that had been discussed AND the price was hyper inflated. The proposed adjustment to get the original price was a tattoo 1/4 the size of the original and did not meet the intent of the original plan. It was a crappy, half-assed design nowhere near worth what any other shop would do for the original quote. [you were also given an opportunity to reject the pricing during the first consultation when the tattoo artist quoted you initially. We do not take refunds for the deposit since our designers have already worked on your custom tattoo design and spent many hours making sure that your tattoo would be unique. If the design was not what you had expected, we wish you would have let us know so we could have changed it for you during the consultation or art review.] Again. See above. Also... no way on God's green Earth did the designer spend hours on designing anything FOR ME. When I arrived the design wasn't even done. It wasn't properly sized, wasn't what was originally discussed, and it was, literally, a quick sketch up on an iPad. It seemed like some last-minute alteration of a previous existing design. Maybe you expect clients to be satisfied with that but no other shop in the city would try to make a client pay for the work done for someone else (but it sure is neat-o when you can bill multiple clients for the same work, amiright?) [Despite everything, we are very sorry that your experience with us was so negative. We wish you could have gotten a design that you were happy with and we would still be willing to do that for you.] Hahaha! I'm sure you would. For an additional fee... read more

Alex did such an amazing job on my piece that I had worked with a previous artist on and made me absolutely love it!

Dzul Ink Lounge - Full sleeve tattoo, Dzul Ink Lounge. - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Terrible work. My design was passed around to several people who were not the tattoo artist, the guy was an hour late to my appointment, charged me $1K for an outline that he rushed through and you can tell by the lines. When I followed up with my concerns, they accepted no responsibility, I asked for at least my deposit back and got nothing. Would have rated zero stars if at all possible. I gave CLEAR instructions and my husband was a witness to this entire thing. Jacob was the one who did my shotty tattoo and now it's the biggest most obvious expensive mistake I could have made. Please don't go here. There are SO many other artists in the area that I wish I would have waited for. After reading more of the yelp reviews, it's painfully obvious that their M.O. is to not only NOT accept responsibility, but also to somehow turn it around on the paying customer. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable and if anyone knows how to go about getting them reviewed/shut down, please advise. I am totally on board to join against them. This can't be a good lasting business model and I can share all of my back and forth emails with them to show that this is how they are conducting business. So pathetic and tacky. read more
