I had my first full tattoo here at Jackson Street Tattoo Co. I had Justin Coppolino as my artist. He made the experience worth while. He was very friendly and approachable. Sometimes artists can just rush you in the door and rush you out, but Justin did not do that to me. He was very interested in what I wanted and how I wanted the art to be designed. He made the tattoo come alive with his detail and shading. I would definitely recommend anyone getting a tattoo in Seattle to come to Jackson Street Tattoo Co. and ask for Justin. The guy is amazing. read more

I came in to talk to Mike Barker about a design I had in mind. He was very friendly and when I saw his sketch I was blown away. I wanted to do black and grey and Mike told me that he really thought it would look better in color. He suggested that if I didn't want the color to pop so much that we stick to some earth tones. I am so glad that he made me do that looking back on it. Sometimes you just have to trust the artist, after all, this is what they do best. I went back for about 4 sittings and each time was a similar experience. A very easy bunch of people to be around. As for the after care, the staff is very informative and knowledgeable and I left confident that I was in good hands. I will definitely be back for more work from Mike Barker. read more

I contacted Heidi after doing a LOT of research for a cover up tattoo. I had talked to quite a few other artists before finding Heidi, and all of them turned me away saying they can't or don't do cover ups, or that my tattoo would require quite a bit of laser removal before it was workable. After explaining my situation with Heidi and sending her pictures of my god-awful tattoo, she said she would love to help me out and that it would actually be an easier coverup than other ones she's done. So I was stoked! We discussed ideas and I scheduled my first appointment. I trusted Heidi's artistic point of view and gave her just a basic idea of what I was thinking. What she drew up for me was absolutely gorgeous. Every session that I have had with her she makes me feel very comfortable. I haven't been able to finish my tattoo yet but I can't wait to get back in there. She does awesome work and I trust her completely! I have attached pictures. read more

I wish I could rate Admiral higher than 5 stars, because 5 just don't seem enough! I had the BEST piercing experience of my life here. Jameson, the piercer, absolutely blew my friends and I away! Me and two of my best friends all went in on the same day (one for a tragus, one for a septum, and double nostrils for me) and he took SUCH good care of us. The shop is impeccably clean, well organized, and comfortable. Jameson answered all of our questions in depth without once making us feel dumb for asking. One friend wanted and industrial but he explained why her body just isn't built for it, and was really helpful in her decision to get her tragus done instead. My other friend had concerns about being able to flip her septum up for work, and he explained her different options so she was sure it wouldn't be an issue. His aftercare instructions were FAR more thorough than any other piercer's that I've experienced - he explained, in depth, things like why you use sea salt soaks and how cell reconstruction works and it felt like a science lesson practically. During the actual piercing process, he changed his gloves frequently, and was able to calm our nerves by just being a generally friendly and outgoing guy. I seriously cannot stress enough how comfortable and welcome he made us feel. All our piercings turned out great - even/well spaced with jewelry that fits us well, just all around perfect. I could not be happier with my new mods, and my friends say the same! The ONLY con I can possibly think of is that Admiral is all the way over in West Seattle, but I'm SO glad that I took my friend's recommendation and went here instead of some place on the hill. It is so worth the trip. If you're worried about dealing with pretentious assholes at certain more popular shops, but want the professionally, knowledge, and skill those shops are famous for, absolutely head over to Admiral. In fact... just head over to Admiral anyway. It's so worth it. read more

I love this place! New location is great, and the staff is cool as ever. Everyone I know gets tattooed by Mike, and you should too, if you know what's good for you. read more

No attitude, fantastic art and great service i love this tattoo shop. I've only dealt with Mike, but the few times I've called and asked questions I've only ever gotten polite and informative responses. I've dealt with alot of attitude from alot of shops, never from this one. Fantastic mind blowing art and customer service. Two perfections combined! read more

I got tattooed by Mike this past weekend, and I can say without hesitation that Mike is my favorite artist EVER, ANYWHERE. I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted, and Mike took that idea and made something amazing with it. He was patient, creative, and found the perfect balance between what I wanted and what was actually tattooable. Shop rate isn't very high, given the quality (every single person I've shown my tattoo to, with the possible exception of my very anti-tattoo family, has been blown away by how well-done it is), and Mike tattoos fast fast fast. Getting the artwork perfect took longer than the first sitting, and he doesn't charge for time spent drawing it up - no matter how long it takes. Great staff, clean, bright, convenient location, and fucking awesome art. Love it, love it, love it. I'll be back. read more

Started off well... Really nice people - talked with me and discussed my tattoo design and future tattoo work - but when it came to getting the tattoo - everything went well until I wanted it my way. I asked for a little more ink on the design to make it bolder in one area and the artist argued with me... it was kind of weird since I now have a permanent piece of work on me and want it to look like I had envisioned... so I asked again and explained it was a simple request - she told me she was the "artist" and her name went with it so she didn't want it to look like something SHE didn't like... Not good. So I said, "so you're not going to do this as I'd like then?" Not to mention - the artist part - I came in with an idea, a basic design where I wanted it and why... she perfected it and inked me - it wasn't like I was changing her own original artwork to suit me... so now I was at a loss... luckily the other guy working there came over and agreed with me that it just needed a bit more ink and basically to make me happy. So I got it, but didn't finish with the accents I had decided on - thinking best to get someone else to finish it like I'd like to have it - without argument!! So... 3 stars and I was hoping to give them 5! The work looks good. The people are nice. But I guess I wasn't at "Burger King" I wasn't getting it "MY Way"! I understand that its an art - but its also customer service - I wear this ink for LIFE and they don't see it after it walks out the door... If you can't respect the customer - then at LEAST respect the money. ; ) read more

I'm from South Africa and came to Seattle on a business trip. I try and get a tattoo whenever I go overseas, and I contacted Jackson Street Tattoo Company after doing a lot of research, and reading as many online reviews as possible. I needed a cover-up and they seemed to be a great choice. Mike was extremely helpful, and because he wasn't available when I'd be in Seattle he put me in touch with Torie. Torie and I mailed each other for about a month, working out whether the tattoo I wanted would be a good idea and sorting out a time/date that suited us both. After an agonisingly long wait, tattoo-day finally arrived. The shop was ultra-clean, and although it was under construction there was not a single piece of dirt or dust on anything. Torie was really friendly, gave me ample time to decide on the size of my tattoo, placed it exactly where I wanted and was just really chilled. I was thoroughly impressed with the incredibly high standard of hygiene in the shop, and Torie was really professional, calm and measured. My tattoo was of a solid, black dog so it was quite intense but she was very quick and precise and finished in much less time than anticipated. I was happy with the price of the session - it was on the high end of the scale (especially with the currency conversion!), but I prefer to pay for quality and have no regrets. :) Her after-care instructions were excellent and when I mailed her with a question the day after, she responded promptly with great advice. It's now four days post-session and my tattoo is healing beautifully. I hope I get to come back to Seattle again soon, so I can have another great tattoo experience. read more

My new hubby and I wanted to commemorate our marriage by each getting a tattoo. Torie worked with us and drew up a great tattoo based on our vision. For the two of us it took maybe an hour. We are both very happy with the attention to detail, my husband did notice some fill in missing on his "W" which we hope we can have touched up. Thanks Torie! read more

Mike is the only person I will ever allow to put permanent art on my body. He's done three fairly large pieces on me, and countless on my boyfriend. He's very personable and amazing at what he does. The shop has an awesome atmosphere and always good conversation goin'. I've had all my friends come to Admiral and they are equally estastic with their body art. So quit reading this and go get tattooed. (I also wanted to note that the lady who M.W. reviewed with 3 stars no longer works at Admiral Tattoo, so that shouldn't even count against them!) read more

Just not the best... I came in for a cover up and worked with Patty to come up with a good solution for a small tattoo on my right shoulder. However, after working with her for a bit, I soon found that we did not communicate well or share the same ideas so I ultimately left unhappy and confused. I was eventually offered a refund for my consultation deposit and took it gladly. While my experience was not bad, it was definitely not great. I just don't think that this place is quite my cup of tea. Personally, I would not return here. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Emily after her flash day to get a small piece done. After discussing my options with her I decided to take the plunge and start working on the half sleeve I had been wanting. Once she finished my flash tattoo, we discussed design ideas for the sleeve, she took reference photos of my arm, I paid my $60 deposit and scheduled my first two appointments for a month out. Emily told me she would have designs ready for me on the day of my first appointment. Great! The week of my appointment, I had not received any sort of confirmation from Emily about our upcoming appointment. The morning before the appointment, I sent her an email to confirm that we were good to go for the next day. She replied 12 hours later, which I saw the morning of my appointment day, confirming that we were still on for our appointment, but that she had lost my reference photos and needed me to send them. This was confusing to me. How could she have drawn up my piece in preparation for the next day with no reference photos? Why am I just finding out that she lost these photos she apparently needs (taken a month prior at the shop) at 10:30 PM the night before my appointment? Having not taken the photos myself in the first place, I wasn't even sure how to provide her with the angles or other information she needed, and she offered no guidance. Before I even had a chance to take the photos that morning, I received an email and text message from Emily indicating that she would be out of the shop during my scheduled appointment time and thus the appointment must be cancelled. She did not offer to reschedule me because I was supposed to be back in two weeks for the next session anyway. This was of course upsetting to me, as I had been very excited about starting my sleeve. Initially I was willing to wait it out, but after giving it some thought I realized I did not feel comfortable moving forward with an artist that I feel was not committed to my piece. Between the lack of communication, losing my reference photos, and the short-notice cancellation, I felt as though my tattoo was barely an afterthought to Emily, which is not exactly confidence inspiring. To her credit, Emily was very professional when I responded to her text message indicating that I no longer wished to move forward with my sleeve, for the reasons I just stated. She refunded my deposit as I requested, which was appreciated. However I am still very disappointed that things ended this way, as she is a very talented artist that I would have loved to continue working with. Unfortunately, the money and time that I was going to invest in this piece I will wear for the rest of my life was simply not worth the lack of consideration I received. read more

I walked in to the shop this afternoon after reading the Yelp reviews. I'm a newbie to the world of ink and Christopher G. was excellent. He talked with me about my design idea and tossed in some flair of his own. I'm likin' it so far. I'll let you know how the art and sitting go too. read more

Tattoo shops are often weird intimidating places. I am happy to report that Jackson Street is different. I moved to Seattle about 5 months ago and started researching tattoo artists that I would trust my skin with as I like to carry good work (but who doesn't?). While looking through Instagram, I found a few of the artists linked to this shop and knew I would want some work from them. Today, I had the chance to work with Kyler and already cannot wait to get more work done by him. He felt like an old friend I hadn't seen in a while and we were just chatting to catch up while he drew some gorgeous lines on me. Since the first time I started following his work, I've been impressed by the range of his work from tattooing to murals. I also love that he has a very specific style of illustration. I think another important element is atmosphere and Jackson Street definitely has that-- you never know where to look because there is so much cool stuff around. Kyler holds a great conversation and the playlist that was on was just perfect. I'm look forward to getting more work done there! read more

I went to 2 other different shops before I came across Jackson Street Tattoo Co. I felt welcomed and had multiple artists acknowledge me when I walked through the door and asked me if I had been helped yet. Torie Larson designed and gave me my first tattoo. I was really nervous as it being my first and I had someone else at another shop tell me they weren't sure about my idea because it's a big tattoo and even made somewhat of a rude comment towards me. Torie didn't make me feel any less different because of it. I highly recommend this shop and Torie in particular. The tattoo was everything I had hoped it would be read more

Michelle is a bad-ass, versatile tattooer. I've been tattooed twice by her and she's always professional, personal, and loves what she does. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable if you've got the jitters and always makes sure you've eaten before she tattoos. Love going there, it's a beautiful short walk from the ferry and the pieces I've gotten done so far have healed smooth as pie! I will definitely continue to be tattooed by her! read more

I was in Seattle for my honeymoon and my new wife and I decided to stop into Jackson Street and see about getting some new tattoos. We were greeted by Sebastian, the artist that ended up tattooing my wife. After talking about what I wanted he got super hyped and said her knew the perfect artist for me and ran off to get Justin. Justin came over and I told him what I wanted to do. He got super excited and we started to brain storm. We came up with and awesome idea and set an appointment. He said he would have a sketch by the end of the night and he delivered and was super hyped at what he drew up. I couldn't wait for my tattoo. The day of the appointment Justin was super professional and friendly. He was super sociable and I tend to talk a lot while getting a tattoo and we chatted the whole time. Justin worked quickly and had a light hand and made the process of getting tattooed enjoyable, even when I was getting tattooed in a painful spot. I pretty much gave him the say of what colors to use and I was not disappointed. My tattoo looks awesome and I am super excited to have it. If I didn't live 1500 miles away Justin would be my new guy. Next time im in Seattle im stopping in to see Justin and getting another tattoo. Thanks Again man! read more

I cannot recommend this shop enough, Torie in particular. It's a great space with tons of amazing art on the walls, clean and hygienic, good music, and an all around good vibe. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful, and the artists are beyond talented. I had two sessions with Torie to complete my gypsy tattoo. She was great beforehand while emailing back and forth about concept and ideas. She listened to everything I said, developed my suggestions, and made it all her own. She is so great! From inception to completion I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I've been meaning to get a tattoo for several years, told Mike it was going to do it. He waited patiently until I was ready. Finally, I brought an idea to him and he absolutely brought it to life on my skin! Never having been tattooed before, I wasn't sure about a few things, but I totally trusted him to do what would look best. Mike is such a professional artist. He's meticulous and has a very calming presence. I highly recommend Mike Barker for all your tattoo-ing needs! Oh, and the shop manager Paige is an absolute doll. read more

I'm from out of state, on a vacation with a couple of friends. I wanted a simple tattoo done and prior to getting tattooed I took the time to research and read up about shops around Seattle. I even asked a couple of locals of shops they recommend and they all told me this place. I even went online and checked out the members portfolios. I felt impressed and decided to come here. The tattoo I wanted was simple (1st image) so I figured I didn't need an appointment. So I decided to walk-in. The person who tattooed me was named Tyson. He had asked me a couple of questions and began to get a stencil out. When he showed me the stencil for approval I did ask him to go back and add a period and fix a couple letters. Before even getting it inked on me he had me go to the mirror and check it out. It looked great. It looked lined up, etc. However, I'm recognizing so MANY mistakes now that I'm back home. I'm beyond upset and honestly I hate it. (2nd image) -it's crooked -spacing of the letter "I" is too close - lines are sloppy - letter "s" has a blob -OVERPRICED I never got a quota of what I was going to pay. He had charged me a $100 for it. It seriously looks like someone took a fine point sharpie and wrote on me. On top of that he told me he's been tattooing for 10 years... this does not look like someone who's been tattooing for 10+ yrs. read more

Thank you, Brian Bower (@thedevilswork)! For my first time getting a tattoo, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Brian was extremely thorough in his explanations about placement, sizing, design, aftercare, and other topics we discussed. As someone with a Type A and very analytical frame of mind, I appreciated all of this. His patience was appreciated as I asked for a couple of renditions and designs. In the end, my tattoo turned out exactly how I imagined (I even got a bit emotional while looking at the finished product in the mirror). I'm thinking of adding on to it in the future, so will definitely reach out to Brian first. read more

I recently got my first tattoo at this place and I was more than satisfied with the work Mike Baker did for me. I gave him a few ideas and sent him a few pictures to kind of give him an idea of what I wanted and told him to come up with a drawing for me; in my opinion, that is best way to work with a tattoo artist, to let them "do their thing" because after all tattoo is art and these people know what they're doing. I highly recommend this shop to anyone that is looking to get some work done in downtown Seattle. Thanks again Mike! read more

For a couple months, I had been looking for a well rated tattoo place to get my first tattoo. When I came over this place, I decided to give them a call. I made the appointment with mike, and he was so nice and patient over the phone. He understood that it was my first time so I wasn't as knowledgeable and he respected that! I booked a double, my friend and I wanted to get tattoos together, and let me just say... Mike is the best damn artist I have ever seen. I didn't expect him to have my design looking exactly how I wanted it, but he did! He is very quick, but has good attention to detail when doing his tattoos. I will definitely be back for more with him! read more

Heidi is AMAZING. This little fire cracker is incredibly personable and talented, something you don't often see in that industry. She did my sleeve and another medium sized piece and blew my mind. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and her creativity is impressive. I trust her enough to give her a general concept and let her choose what all to do with it. Love this girl, love this shop (mike is nice and the shop is clean and artsy) and the location isn't bad. I've been to a couple shops in seattle and this is by far my favorite. read more
