Super great vibes. We stopped in here for a half pour tasting before dinner at Hanok. There was great vinyl spinning. Cozy vibe without feeling like you're bumping into other peoples elbows. The recommendations were great and the wine selection was expanse. 10/10. read more

Parlour - half pour flights - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Sara, the owner of Parlour, is the hands down best tattoo artist in Seattle. I found out about her by walking up to a guy at my office with the sweetest ink I'd ever seen and getting a referral. She met with me, took time to understand what I wanted, then worked to create art that blew my mind. It was absolutely worth the wait (like I said, she's the best, you want the best, you're going to wait), and money (which was actually beyond reasonable considering the quality). She's absolutely wiling to do do touch ups, take amazing care of her customers, and is already booked to do my next piece. Thanks Sara!! read more

Zoë was so wonderful! She is a superb artist and a lovely, welcoming person. She made my tattoo experience a great one! The shop is a little tricky to find, but I called to ask for help, and she came down to let me in. I can't wait to come back! read more

Parlour - Whale skeleton by Zoë - Tattoo Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had my second appointment with Sara and I confirmed it on the app and sent a separate email to Jonathan to make sure, since I'm traveling for LA to get my tattoo. Turned out that for some reason Sara declined my appointment and didn't tell me about it, while Jonathon confirmed my appointment on his reply email. I showed up at their door and told then that my appointment was declined. They offer to reschedule but since I had to plan a trip for this, I said it's just not a matter of rescheduling and everything would be fine. They did refund my deposit but I'm super disappointed. This shouldn't be the way how a returning customer should be treated. read more

I have left reviews for Sara in her previous two Seattle locations and felt (overwhelmingly so) the need to do so with her new business, Parlour. In all three cases, my experience has never changed. She is truly an amazingly gifted tattoo artist who's color theory far surpasses other in the field today. To begin, I was never a person who thought I would have a tattoo. Of course, over years, opinions change - so one tattoo to commemorate something meaningful or life changing. After months of research and processing artists, styles, techniques, color usage, I came across the Insta for Sara. I scheduled a consultation w/ her to discuss a med-large rib piece and agreed she was "it" and scheduled a date. I am now going to state the obvious for those who seem to red flag this part of the tattoo process, Sara doesn't send renderings before your appointment. This is not something anyone should be concerned with. As an adult, if you arrive at the appointment and are not blown away with what she presents, ask for adjustments or walk away. Simple. The piece she drew was stunning and I sat for close to 5 hours and came home with the most beautiful portrait. 2 months later I contacted her to start a full sleeve. Three years later, we are almost finished w/ my 2nd sleeve and are already planning what is sure to become a full body suit. I have complete trust in Sara's artist nature to fashion a living art piece that I will carry with me forever. We have a brief discussion on key elements and basic color suggestions but then I let her create with color and placement. They always tell you, "be sure you love whatever you get tattooed, because it will be with you for life." With Sara, that adage should be corrected to "be sure you love your artist, because she will be with you for life." I am so honored to walk around with the ink-stories she has gifted me and the friendship we have made. read more

I have to write this and I am not happy about it but I feel like I don't really have much of a choice at this point, so here is my story. Sara has done great work on me in the past numerous times and I have gone to her for a few years. I can't deny her talent at all, she is really good at her style and work. However, after she completed one of the biggest tattoos on my body that was directly from a graphic novel, I was kind of disappointed with some areas. This was completed in 2016, 700$ tattoo including a generous $200 tip. After it healed, I could clearly see that it was rushed through at the end. The hand is a little wonky (and cannot be fixed as it is too small), the branches were very choppy and disconnected on the tree, and some areas were not filled in where they should have been. I contacted her, asking for a touch up. No response.. months go by I talk to her again and no response. maybe a year and a half goes by and my boyfriend decides to talk to her so she may return a book I let her borrow -- I at least wanted that. When I received it in the mail, I messaged her again and asked her to schedule this touch up with me. She said she would check the books and get back to me.. didn't get back to me. I contact her one final time and explain how I feel exactly, such as feeling like I'm on the back burner and so on. She explains a lot of things going on in her life and I get it, life happens. But she again did not schedule anything with me. I am extremely frustrated with this situation to the point where I have to write this review, because I had no choice but to go to someone else and ask them to touch it up for me. It took about 30 minutes for him to clean it up for me and smooth out the branches. 30 minutes. My patience wore out with Sara after waiting for a really long time and I have other pieces by her that need touching up. After all of this, though, I just cannot really rely on Sara. I really wanted to rely on her because she is such a great artist, fun person who I really connected to, and I really wanted to continue doing business with her. But due to these circumstances, I cannot. Water color tattoos definitely need touch ups -- they are not vibrant forever. I just wish more tattoo artists saw the importance of the touch-up part. Your interaction and relationship with the customer does not end when they leave, and the ability to communicate is extremely important with someone who has paid a lot of money for your art. I'm sorry for this, but I had to do it. Again, Sara's work is amazing and don't let this one review deter you from your decision to book her, this unfortunate thing just happened to me. I just want people to be aware that communication with her may not be clear, and if you have social anxiety or are anxious about not being able to communicate well with the artist, this person might not be the right artist for you. read more

I had a tattoo done by Sara a few months ago and it came out beautifully. The tattoo is a tribute to my father which Sara created with love and compassion. I get compliments on it all the time. I can not recommend her highly enough and definitely plan to go back to her in the future. read more

Sara is a very professional person and has knowledge about tattoos. She designed a half sleeve tattoo. I gave her total freedom of design and color. My tattoo is completely healed and I am very satisfied and happy with the final result. It was a pleasure to have her as a tattoo artist. I will definitely return with her for my next tattoos. read more

Honestly, I cannot say enough great things about Sara and her work. I found her via instagram (as you do these days) and every step of the way was wonderful. The wait to get my piece completed was long, but she explained that would be the case from the start as she was building out her new studio. What I wanted from a tattoo was a little vague and went through some iterations, but what Sara delivered was everything that I could have wanted. She was easy to talk to and fun. Also, I found her communication to be excellent. I would recommend her to friends and would 100% consider going back to her for another piece. To anyone who reads the complaint of the the reviewer who noted that she doesn't send images of the work before your session, make sure that you read the FAQ that is very clearly on the website that states that is not generally part of Sara's practice (aka read the rules before you show up to the party). read more

Sara Kay is simply amazing! I absolutely love her and I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo. She is such a talented artist and has an amazing spirit. She has very long wait to see her but her quality of work is well worth it. It will be hard to find an artist that will produce anything close to what I got. If you love her art style I would sign up for a consultation today! read more

I couldn't have chosen a better artist to create this tattoo. I did a lot of research before deciding on a tattoo artist and when I came across Sara's art, I was sold. She does amazing work. I shared with her a few pictures of my sweet dog, Sadie and explained my vision and she created for me the most wonderful tattoo that I could ever have dreamed of. It is exactly what I hoped it would be! Sara is thoughtful and kind and funny and just overall, a great and talented artist. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Sara!! read more

Getting my tattoo done by Sara was an amazing experience! I truly appreciate the great conversation we had and her genuine interest in getting to know me as her customer. I immediately felt at ease and the work on my back was unbelievably beautiful! I will be sure to send all of my friends her way. Mahalo Sara! read more

Sara is by far the best tattoo artist in Seattle. I have had the pleasure of her being my artist for the last few years. She has completed a half sleeve for me and now we are working on a full leg sleeve. Yes, she is busy and her books fill up quick, but that is because she is an amazing artist and of course she would book up quickly. But even though she is so busy, I can honestly say that she genuinely cares about all of her clients and she will make sure that you are taken care of. I will be her client for many years to come! read more

Sara is my go-to artist for sure! I love her style, which is versatile and whimsical, and she has great attention to detail. I've been completely comfortable giving her creative freedom on my pieces, but she's also very willing to listen and work with you if you're looking for something more specific. Plus, the little space she has curated is wonderful: clean, homey, and quirky. Can't wait to go back! read more

There isn't a way to accurately convey in words my immense satisfaction with my tattoo and my experience. When I sit for a tattoo, I hope to leave with something that I can enjoy for the rest of my life. I also hope that the artist is a competent, chill person to work with and the space is cozy and an enjoyable place to hang out for a few hours. The latter two aren't as important as the former for me, but Sara delivers on all three and exceeds expectations. Her excellence in tattooing is second to none, her demeanor is very comfortable to be around, and her space is the coolest - tattoo shop or otherwise. Sara took the time to understand my idea for my tattoo and turned it into a work of art. She is friendly and direct, chill and professional. She is great at getting to know you so your tattoo suits you perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more
