I don't recall seeing any emails or notices when Josh left re:deposit money but nonetheless; absolutely not your problem. Zero stars. I paid $100 deposit back when Josh was still there and they were so gracious to schedule me for a new appointment with my hundred dollar deposit last week however I was in York and didn't get home until late. I called them before my appointment time and told them what had happened, they basically said too bad. So I'm out of bucks. Well keep it and I hope you do good and your business as well because this is bullshit customer service. Oh and I'm sure to post a negative review over 100...not happening "lucky".

I have been wanting it since I was with my ex gf. It was the owner who did the work. Not much shading in the design, but his line work is nice and tight. Only seen better one time in my life, and that was triple the hourly rate. Prices here are low for the quality you get in my opinion. Will definately be back here again. This is about a year later and the tattoo still gets compliments.

Well here we are! (And there you are and there over there he is. 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!!)

This shop is conveniently located in downtown Olympia across from a park and with plenty of street…read moreparking that is free after 5pm. Look for the Sasquatch on the door and you'll know you're in the right spot. Currently they are not open for walk-ins for obvious reasons but if you send them a message with a project they will get back to you within a couple of days and schedule you in. Their Yelp page doesn't do them justice but if you go to their website you can see tons of the work done by the artists who work here. I was lucky enough to get a session with Devon, who was able to turn my vision into something better than I could have imagined. He was super friendly and did not have his own agenda regarding the project so I never felt like he was leading me down a path that wasn't my own. The shop was super clean and bright (even with windows boarded up) and the music playing kept up a positive mood throughout. If the artist is humming along while working that's a good sign the task is going well. Devon is truly talented and has a way of making you feel at ease throughout the process. Time flies when you're in his capable hands. I highly recommend!

He outright judged our character from our appearance and made sexist comments toward us during the entire experience. I wanted to speak up, but I couldn't because he was about to tattoo my friend and I didn't want risk upsetting him before permanently marking her. As well, throughout the entirety of tattooing he made her feel uncomfortable. Our experience was so negative with this artist, that my extremely polite and non-confrontational friend decided to not tip for the first time in her life (that's a big deal for her). Anyways, moral of the story: we won't be going back.
