But I also think honest experiences help both future customers and the business itself, so I'll simply share what happened and let others make their own decision. I arrived shortly after their posted opening time, only to find a note saying they'd be back later. When I called, I learned the piercer wouldn't arrive until 1pm due to a personal commitment. I gave grace and returned. The piercing itself was quick, with some small talk about Seattle, and I mentioned that I hadn't been pierced in 20+ years due to keloiding, so I was nervous and wanted to make sure things were done carefully. I paid, received a basic aftercare sheet, and headed home. Later that evening, the front of my flat-back earring fell out and the back was hanging loosely. I eventually managed to get the flat back post in the front just to keep the piercing from closing and I called about 8p after closing and left a message for guidance but never received a call back. A different piercer at a jewelry shop explained that flat-back earrings require a slight bend in the post for tension -- something that hadn't been done. It was an easy fix, but disappointing that it was missed, especially since piercings need weeks to heal. There's clearly a lot of history behind this business, but my experience didn't reflect the level of professionalism and follow-up I expected for a $100 service. I personally prefer to go somewhere with more consistency in both technique and aftercare communication.

The vibe is very chill and it's always a quick in and out with an amazing piercing, and great pricing! Artist is a pro freehand piercer. 10/10 recommend. I don't trust a lot of places, but i'll continue coming back here and recommending it to everyone !! The first time I came here I was getting the other side of my nose pierced ( I had already had one side of my nose done by another artist years before) and he nailed the placement which was a worry of mine of them not being even. I also was really was nervous about my eyebrow and the method of it being pierced. I've seen places on the internet use clamps which can cause bruising, and places point the needle down and that's just scary, and he did neither and I left very happy and it was my least painful piercing yet and super quick!!

Moselys Tattoo (Owner) a year ago Thank you I appreciate it Chrissie Brown Local Guide·58 reviews·5 photos 3 days ago New $500+ The first 5 photos were the evergreen trees that Mike drew, the last 3 are from the artist I had cover them. You can clearly see the difference. It is on my thigh. If you want a tattoo of evergreen trees from Mike, expect to get deformed, crooked, sad looking trees...one even looks like a bush. I understand the circumference of thighs change making it hard for the artist to perfectly line them up, but Mike made them crooked AF compared to the other artist that covered them. Mike also made the trees in the back and inner thigh 2 inches taller than the front. For such a simple tattoo, it took a lot of ink, money, time and pain. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

I used to over-tweeze and generally draw my eyebrows really badly. I also had a hard time know what a good shape was. Ashley not only provided high quality microblading (creating a shape I LOVE), but she taught me how to do a little extra shaping with a pencil when I wanted to. She even gave me her favorite pencil type. I get compliments on my brows all the time. So much so that I have friends from out of state that come to Washington JUST to get their eyebrows done by Ashley. My brows have lasted for many years. I barely need touch ups at this point. Which is honestly a bummer because the studio has great vibes and I love getting to hang with Ashley for a bit. I can't recommend Ashley enough.

I was recommended this place from a couple friends who had gotten amazing tattoo's done by Ian. I had done research and it looked like Ian had done an incredible job and had a multitude of knowledge on tattoo's, so I figured it would be good to give him a shot. Well, now I have three botched tattoos and one lopsided one. I got five done in total because they were simple, small, fine line ones. And ended up with only one that looked good. I have to get one of the tattoos removed because the line work was so poorly done. When I asked him for a touch up on one, he spent about 5 minutes verbatim telling me how "anal" I was being on wanting touch ups and was very rude towards me. Extremely unprofessional. On top of that, while we were talking during the touch up, I had another tattoo that I had gotten done by another artist that I loved, he and co-worker commented on it and proceeded to tell me how tell me how "bad" my tattoo looked and told me it was going to age very poorly. Even though the artist I went to is known for having incredible tattoos and the tattoo itself looked amazing which I have already had for over five years at this point. Then when I had asked him to touch up and fix my other tattoos he did, I never heard back and followed up twice; even though he claimed there was a 90 day policy for free touch ups. Sadly, you will want to avoid this place. So disappointing because I had very high hopes because of the recommendations I was given and how good their work looked. I can't speak for the other artists, but I just didn't have a good experience with Ian.
