Six of my seven tattoos were done 20 years ago at Black Cat Tattoo by an artist named Mike, who is…read morenow with another shop. I have had nothing but compliments on them over the years, and they have held up very well for their age. Mike had recommended I go to Sean, if he ever wasn't around, or if there was something he knew Sean would do better. Recently, I had a piece that didn't turn out so well after healing, not to mention the fact that my first experience with an artist from a shop that was NOT Black Cat could only be described as unprofessional (Bad attitude, bad work ethic, and ultimately, a bad tattoo). This shop was in WA, where I live now. I decided to go see Sean, when I was in town for Christmas. Sean completely revived this piece and breathed new life into it. It looks better than it ever did to begin with. He even came in on his day off to accommodate my being there from out of town. The level of customer service and the quality of work I receive(d) at Black Cat Tattoo is a night and day difference from the other place. It's been that way for over 20 years at Black Cat and I cannot recommend them enough. If you want quality work from an artist that cares, go see Sean at Black Cat Tattoo.

I called thinking I would need to make an appointment to see Simon (he is the owner so I figured he was super busy) but instead they handed Simon the phone. After sharing with him what my sister and I were envisioning, he said to stop by the shop at any point to give him some mock up ideas. I couldn't believe how readily available he was and how much he wanted to help. As soon as you walk in to his shop you could feel how clean and organized it was. Simon was so easy going and easy to talk to. His artwork displayed around the shop is incredible so we knew we were in good hands. My sister and I were thrilled with our final result. I highly recommend this tattoo shop. You wont be disappointed.

I wish I could give Darcy Nutt 10 stars, she is one of the best tattoo artists in the northwest! Her black and gray portrait work is fierce but she is kills it in all styles/ colors. She's also hard to get into (6-8 months before she can even take an appointment currently) but well worth the wait- I even fly in just to see her from Seattle she's THAT good! Their piercer, Steve, pierced my lip for the second time (through scar tissue) with no trouble. He orders some nice jewelry pieces for the shop but will let you order in special pieces if you want.

I booked an appointment with Queenie during her $100/hr special. I've had over a dozen tattoos, and…read moremy husband is fully covered, so we know how tattoo sessions typically go. What I experienced here was unlike anything I have before. I sent Queenie pictures when I initially scheduled the appointment and then a few more on the day of when she told me that she had already drawn something up and would have to delay our appointment by an hour since I was changing that. When I booked, I had only sent her a few ideas of what I was thinking so she had a rough idea of placement, timing, etc. I assumed we would work together to design something when I arrived. It was never communicated to me that she would be drawing something up ahead of time. We had to spend a good amount of time taking elements out of the design That she had created because it was much busier than I wanted. Then she spent a long time creating the stencils and even running downstairs several times to replace the toner cartridge. None of this was a big deal when I didn't realize I was getting charged $100 an hour for it. When she put the stencil on I said I felt like the scale was off and that we needed to go smaller. Instead of working with me, she snapped, "Do you just want to come back another day?!" and told me that she would need to charge me if this kept taking longer. I told her I was happy to pay to get this tattoo right. We removed a few more elements and at that point, I just felt pressured to move forward and super overwhelmed so I said we were all good to go. During the tattoo, I asked what she was considering for her back tattoo, and she made multiple comments about how bad ornamental work (Which is the Style of tattoo she was doing for me) looks next to realism (which is the large back piece that I already). She was basically saying how bad my design choice was without saying it. I didn't even hear it at the time but I can't imagine that's accidental by a tattoo artist. To criticize putting the two styles I'm having permanently on my body, right to me, was pretty rude. By the end of the session, she charged me $400 for four hours, even though a large portion of that time was on design and stencil. I still tipped 20% and even left an additional $100 deposit for a follow-up appointment, hoping to move forward and not realizing how much I compromised the tattoo I was getting. When I later texted her about the timing and thought maybe we did the math wrong, she stood by it and told me my tattoo would've been $650 with anyone else. Then I told her my concerns with the tattoo and she asked how I would want to fix it - basically agreeing to work on it and apologizing that I wasn't happy and felt rushed. When I sent her pictures of what I was thinking, and that I was even considering lasering off part of it so that I wouldn't have to compromise the design I wanted, she suddenly said that she didn't think we should work together anymore--but still refused to refund my $100 deposit. So not only did I have a terrible experience and get overcharged, but she also kept an extra $100 deposit for work she refuses to do. Tattooing is personal and Not everyone is a good fit for each other. I totally get that. We clearly shouldn't work together, but to not return my deposit when you are the one not willing to book another appointment is wild. I absolutely wouldn't recommend booking with Queenie.
