    I've been here before to get a flash Friday the 13th tattoo with a friend and had an awesome experience; but today my wife and I went in for walk-ins, and we definitely were not disappointed! Noah and Aimee were the ones that did our tattoos, and they were AWESOME. Reasonable prices, rad environment, friendly staff. Definitely will be back!!

    Daniel Lovre is hands down the best artist! I thought for years what I wanted my first tattoo to be. I wanted a tribute to my late Uncle and after I found Daniel's profile on Instagram, I knew I wanted him to be the one to CREATE my vision. He took it beyond what I could image. I told him I wanted magnolia's on my back and he customized it and I could not be happier. His color work and knowledge and experience is very impressive. He was always available to answer questions and educate me on the process of my first tattoo. He now is working on a thigh piece for me. I showed him a small picture of a skeleton girl's profile and I am in love with the goddess he created on my leg. I don't want any other artists to do my work. I am officially addicted and would recommend him to anyone wanting an amazing piece of art! He has a way of incorporating the tattoos to accentuate the curves and flow of our bodies. He paints and sculpts too.. he is a true artist!!

    What I got.

    I went to this shop on a whim because the reviews were good, the shop looked clean when I walked in to make an appointment, it was close by, and I was just looking for something super easy, clean and simple before sitting for my first larger piece I am having designed for me with a friend later this month (which I was super excited about). I know that tattooing an arrow probably isn't the most exciting thing to do for an artist, but I told the shop that I used to struggle with some self injury issues and after being good for awhile I just wanted to do a test run with the needle before sitting for something longer later this month. I was also looking forward to putting something on that arm I could be proud of. I wanted something that had some meaning for me, but I'm also an attorney and wanted something simple with clean lines that I wouldn't have to worry about covering up. The person who was supposed to do my tattoo told me when I got there that she overbooked but not to worry because she called someone else to come in. She said that because it was just an arrow it was no big deal and that she had given him all the info. With it being my first time I wasn't sure what to expect so I went with it. Everyone was really nice and the shop was clean. He drew a line out in pen but didn't really do much more before he started so I didn't know how it was going to turn out and assumed it would be at least similar to the photo. However, I wish that if they didn't want to do a smaller tattoo or weren't able to do the more delicate linework (or even if they just thought it wasn't their style didn't want to do it all together) that they just would have told me beforehand. Now I'm out $100 and I have something I don't like that's already larger than anything in would have wanted on my wrist. The proportions are off, the lines are sloppy, and it basically looks like I let a kid draw on me with marker. I mean it's only a tattoo so whatever but it just wasn't the experience I was going for.

    Healed. Thanks Lenny!

    I knew I found a good, clean shop. Cool vibes all around. Everyone was so friendly when I walked in. The work here is SOLID. The portfolios that shower the coffee table are worth looking through. Beautiful work from everyone! You won't regret going to any of the artists here. Anyway, I got in touch with Lenny through IG and made an appointment for that same week. He made the 2 hour session a breeze. Everything went well and my arm healed up like a champ. It came out so nice and I'm stoked to come back to the shop for more ink.

    First off I got an industrial... I seriously cannot get over what an amazing experience getting my new piercing was today! What a rush! I haven't felt like that in a very very long time! My last piercing was about eleven years ago so it's been a while. This one didn't bleed a drop and it didn't hurt nearly as much as my first cartilage on my other ear! I was so nervous and so excited. I almost talked myself out of it mentally about a million times. It didn't seem real until I was in that chair. I highly recommend Chaz (not sure about the spelling) she does an amazing job! She had great chair side manner and really helped to ease my nerves immensely. Not to mention this lady knows her stuff. She's been piercing longer than I waited between my last piercing and this one. She is extremely gentle and so fast it was over before I knew it. I almost want to get another piercing without any planning just to have her do it. Go to Chaz! She will treat you right! Overall it was extremely hygienic, fast and friendly. Did I mention they have killer deals on price. Way better than Metro or any of the other places I looked before a friend recommended them.

    This was my first time coming to this shop after a recommendation from a co-worker and I don't usually ever write reviews on artists because I hardly ever think they are worth what they charge an hour. However Noah has been the one exception. Ended up getting tattooed a very specific design. I have a friend who is a very talented drawer but that doesn't always translate well to a tattoo. Noah was however, able to tattoo this drawing down to the exact detail. Not only that, but had one of the gentlest hands. I had about 11 tattoos prior to coming here and I have a high pain tolerance but regardless, Noah is one of the best. Lines are clean, shading is exactly as depicted in original picture. I am coming back to him and working on an entire upper back piece. Noah does like to do a Neo style of tattooing and change it up from the American traditional style that every artist in the PNW seems to love to do.

    Dre is amazing!!! I'm so glad I found him!…read more I first saw him in December 2022. He was doing a $30 Thursday, and I figured that was a great way to meet him and see how his work is. He was phenomenal! Super funny, normal, and inviting. His shop is clean, spacious, and conveniently located. I just went back in December 2023 and got a bigger piece this time. He's talented AND affordable! Highly recommend Dre to anyone in western Washington. He's worth the drive if you're not in the immediate Olympia area.

Several misses at local tattoo shops delayed me from getting the work done. The motivation was there, but something was missing. I guess i don't need a large shop, a chain, or folks that cant be at their shop when their hours say they'll be, yes, that happened, TWICE. Dre was not only willing to do the work, but JUST AS his IG page says you can message him and hell get back to you. He did, and gave me the confidence he'd be the right guy for the job. I was scheduled, for just a day later! The shop is SUPER clean and isn't cliched. Dre is a SoCal man, but has local art on his walls as well as stuff highlighting his CA heritage, which I admire because I'm a NY transplant myself, which showed me he honors his past, but isn't tied to it. Just enough free spirit to ALSO make him the right guy. Dre has a few apprentice artists working with him right now, one male, one female. This is Super important because some ladies want work in more intimate places, and i think having a choice for the client is smart. Additionally, i think this shows his expectation of growth, which im sure is bound to happen. Oh, and by the way, Dre served this country in a previous career in the military. Theres a humble but strong nod to his service, by way-of his retirement flag and a humble display of his service medals, which I genuinely appreciated. Dre has real technique, noticeable by how he speaks to his apprentice team, giving them direction on how the line work can be done, by tuning out music and listening to the art tools. Real zen stuff which reminded me tattooing is first and foremost ART, and a union of creator and created. None of what I saw was disappointing, every aspect of his shop is elevated, and worthy of much more future business. By the way, my wife and i go back today for her newest ink, and im getting another small one as well. You can see his work @threebirdstattooco on IG. 5 stars? I only wish i could go higher.

He ended up quoting me 350 for 3 flash tattoos then I added one more smaller tattoo. He ended saying it was $600. Which I will post all screenshots but obviously they are covered right now. In no way is it $600 worth of tattoos. I am extremely disappointed because after my experience with Ehren I thought I found my new tattoo place. Then Jermey said it was $150 per tattoo even though it took less than 2 hours and all tattoos were not difficult or super detailed. The coffee cup was just the cup with the hearts. A super big let down. I loved the tattoos but did not love the incredibly pricey up charge.

Lol) Now you may have gotten…read moretattooed from other shops (and no I'm not talking about your cousins attic with a razor blade.) but there is one shop in the top of Olympus that towers over the northwest section of Merika. (*looks up into the mountain with the sun burning your eyes.* "ah! My eyes they burn!!!.... FROM AWESOMENESS!") So get comfy, shaved and ready for the stencil of this review! Atmosphere: Well it feels like a squirrel took a wrong turn and ended up in the Willy Wonka section where they inspected nuts because this place is amazingly nut! (Places Spider monkeys on the nut scale.. *processing...ding!*... it's... aaaaaa... good nut. Lol [Now a days that means something completely different. These kids and their analogies! *Shakes cane to the sky only to be blinded by the sun again* "Gosh darn it!!" Lol]) There is so much Art and trinkets on the walls, that I almost 83.4% go crossed eye from trying to take in all of the art. (Now I'm starting to wonder why my tattoos end up in different parts of my body... O.O) The place is immaculate and the only litter ever created was when I accidentally dropped a wrapper on the ground and that's actually the only time I saw the mess that it really was. (Due to my wrapper. Don't worry I picked it right away.) Each artist section is covered by their art creations and a spin to it. (Kinda like a college dorm room but instead of poster it's amazing art.) Let's talk about the restroom because just like everyone (which I read in a wise book a long time ago and I live by it daily) they poop. *tear falls done* she's... breathtaking, the seat is wiped and the sink is clean, there's art on the wall and my backside cinnamon rolls thank you for caring for my donkey. Customer Service/Product: Now you may have seen a lot of 80s through 90s movies where they depict the tattoo artist as tattooed, pierced and mean! Well let me tell you it's nothing like that. These people are tattooed, pierced and.. friendly! O.O I've personally been working with Skrappy for 94.7% of my tattoos and he has not disappointed me! (YET!.... I'm just joking. I don't think he will. No pressure.. [ALL PRESSURE!!... I'm just joshing you.. *cough* O.O!!!]) They have a professional outlook and making sure you have what you want and taking the correct steps to set up their station and make it a safe environment to be tatted in. (Plus Skrappy has the softest hands there. Well that's what he told me and I'm sticking to it. Lol.) The tattoos produced here are worth every cent and they actually care what you want, what's doable, and what's not. They won't curve the truth and honestly I love seeing that in a business. Plus the majority of the time while I'm getting tattooed were mostly telling jokes, catching up or just staring deep each other's eyes. Lol. Conclusion: You ever just get so frustrated to not getting what you want? Ever want quality work that's worth your money? Ever needed a clean safe environment where professional who have done this for years know what they're doing? Ever ask Samantha Boiser from cubicle 36-B and get rejected so now you take the stairs instead of the elevator just in case of the off chance you get stuck with her in it like last Tuesday and she brings it out and tells you why she said no so you end up crying in front of her so she just awkwardly gets off a floor earlier!?!... if you checked yes in one of these things *thinks..* yes.. if you have checked one in any of these. This place is your place to go. With an amazing selection of tattoo artist, immaculate environment filled with fascinating art and professional but awesome background it's hard not waste every pay check here! (Why am I so broke!?! *shakes to the sky--* ah my eyes again!!)
