Mike is an awesome artist! I love my 2 Hungarian tattoos that he did for me. I highly recommend him.

My newest ink commemorating my divorce! Thanks again Robert
Paige B.

Robert was absolutely amazing! Got me in last minute after my usual artist cancelled. He was extremely professional, kind & had great attention to detail!!! Love my new ink & he even charged less than quoted. I'll Definitely be back! Highly recommended. Thanks again Robert

Went here initially to just be with my girlfriend for her first tattoo, which he drew up and completed perfectly. Now I've been back over 3 times on my own with Lexi and he's done over 4 different pieces on me. He's a great guy and you can tell he knows his stuff. He's helpful and is willing to listen to the concepts you want. His pricing is extremely fair as well. His experience shows, as he is proficient and versatile as a tattoo artist. I'll keep coming back for sure even though I live in Kent. He's done all my tattoos excluding my first one at this point. Would definitely recommend him!

I'm not a tattoo expert or anything so don't take my post the wrong way.... I have had work at other tattoo parlours downtown Olympia and have always left with a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth when I left.... But not for this place! It was clean and whole staff was friendly funny and awesome! I came in knowing (almost) exactly what I wanted and had several ideas on a sheet of paper, and after being greeted by the lady up front, the owner Lexi came over right away and gave me a personal consultation on the tattoo I wanted and he fit me in within a couple weeks. When it was time for me to come in for my tattoo I was super nervous and he help me through that and gave me many breaks even though I didn't ask for them, and he stuck to his quoted price even though I'm pretty sure I took longer than he thought. I would recommend this tattoo parlor to anyone who want a clean awesome tattoo!

The tattoo shop: Very clean, comfortable, and appealing. They go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. Everyone in the shop was extremely friendly and professional. Anything that comes in contact with your skin is brand new, they were extremely careful with hygiene. Plus, they had some really good tunes playing during the tattoo session. My best friend was actually the one getting her first tattoo, her artist was Sam. Sam is a really cool dude and he made us laugh, we were very intrigued by all of his rad stories. He took the picture of the tattoo my friend wanted and recreated it a bit to make it her own (I thought that was really cool) He is very talented. In fact he is so talented that I insist on getting my first tattoo done by him as well. I trust in his artistic talent/abilities very much even after meeting him just once. Overall this was a great experience for my friend and I. We will definitely be returning for more tattoos in the future (yes we will request sam) Whoever owns this establishment really seems to know what their doing, they have hired a talented group of artist. I will definitely be referring this place to friends and family.

Been following his art for years and am pleased to finally get them done. Thank you!!!!

Lexi did an amazing job on my tattoos and I am very pleased with the outcome! The rufous hummingbird, peony, California poppy and salmonberry are beautiful.

Public service announcement: Lexi is a male. I made the humiliating mistake of thinking otherwise. He is also the only artist in the shop-because, he owns it! Lexi crafted a detailed & decorated hot air balloon piece for me. He was so gentle & would check in with me to make sure I was feeling at ease. (Especially, after in confessed my previous bad tattoo experiences at another shop.) He was diligent & easy going. Always sparking great conversation about humanity & hilarity. Oh- and his art displayed decoratively in the shop is really rad.

Melanie G.

I was referred to Lexi & had a great experience. His vibe is super welcoming & just on point. He'll definitely listen to what you want & add input but overall if you want it your way he will produce. He doesn't play around with your time- he gets straight to work. I can't wait to go back for my bigger pieces- thank you once again- definitely worth the drive

Comfortable experience here & very friendly staff. I came in as a walk in and had a really positive experience! Thanks again!

I'm in love with my new tattoo! By Sam.
Kalieh S.

I went to Lo and Behold to get my first (two) tattoos and I couldn't have made a better choice. I like to do my research before I do anything, so I had visited their website in advance and SO appreciated the fact that they had a video posted on the main page. It was really nice and comforting to see what the people were like, what the shop looked like, and to see samples of each artist's work. I had no idea what to expect from my first tattoo experience, but I felt a little more in-the-know after perusing their website. I walked in a few hours before close on a Thursday and Sam was the only one at the shop. I could tell right away, as soon as I saw his sweet green Schwinn, that it was going to be fun. He put me at ease right away and is super easy to get along with. He looked at my example of what I wanted and improved on it, adding his own touches. He talked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable. He even put on some rad music that helped me keep my mind off of the annoying sting on my arm. I really love his personality and enthusiasm for what he does and I couldn't imagine having a better artist for the tattoo I have. The whole process was over quicker and was less painful than I expected. The tattoo was even better than I had originally thought it would turn out and I was surprised at how easy it all was! I will absolutely be coming back, and will definitely recommend this shop to anyone who asks (and maybe even a few who don't). Thanks again, Sam! I could not be happier about the whole thing!

I got my first tattoo here and I loved the experience! The store was very clean and filled with beautiful art. They were playing really nice indie music and it calmed me down. I just got a simple piece of linework, but I saw the artwork and abilities of the artists, and i was really amazed! prices were very fair too. I definitely plan on returning here for future tattoos, and will certainly recommend it to friends.

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.

Met Dre through work. Saw his own ink, and thought this might be the guy. Ive wanted my tribal…read moreturtle for well over a year, searching designs over the course of 14 months. 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.

Place was busy. 5 artists doing clients. One artist on standby, Tex. Came right to the counter. Showed him the simple tat I wanted. Without hesitation he quoted me a price that I was really happy with. Sat for 5 minutes while he worked on the sketch. Again, I was pleased with it and off to work. Did not take long. I was really surprised at how quick I was in & out. Granted it is a simple tattoo (straight and forward, nothing fancy, black). How I like my tats. Will go here again or recommend.

I wouldn't recommend everyone, I would recommend Ehren, he was a phenomenal artist, he was super…read morenice and genuinely a joy to work with, I ended up going back and Ehren was busy, so I ended up going with Jeremy. 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.

I showed them a picture & asked a price, they told me it was $150.

I have been going to this shop for 20 years. They are professional, they confirm appointments and…read morekeep track, custom pieces are followed through with each artist, and every artist makes you feel like family and friends when your around in the shop. Highly recommend them and I will not go anywhere else, and I have no problem paying for that assurance.

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!!)
