    i got my tattoo done by travis and he was AWESOME!! he ended up having a cancellation so i was able to come in a lot earlier than expected! i sent him a photo of what i was thinking (minimalistic monstera plant) and he took it to make it his own and i think his work was SO much better than my idea photo!! great artist!! with covid going on they keep the place extremely clean and everyone must wear a mask. they also lock the door to control inflow and outflow which i liked. everyone was super friendly and i felt very comfortable coming here to get my tattoo! highly recommended!! shop minimum is $100 which i think is a very good price especially for all the great artists that work here!

    Love this typewriter!

    Absolutely love, Love, LOVE Krysten! She is one dope a$$ tattoo artist! She's given me 3 different tattoos, they range from cute animals to an amazing tree and the most recent one, a simple but a beautiful quote. She does it allllllll! Highly recommend her, if you can get an appointment with her, you should! She's usually booked up for months!

    My husband went to Rabid Hands for a sleeve. He went in to see Bryan. Bryan did excellent work for him, so I decided I would get my next tattoo from him as well. I have had major anxiety in the past getting tattoos and/or piercings. I was very nervous going to a new artist. I will say that Bryan is very light handed in tattooing and he really made me feel comfortable and at ease. Bryan took on my biggest tattoo and honestly made it so easy. The last tattoo I had, I told my husband "I can safely say this will probably be the last tattoo I ever get." I have such love for ink, it was hard for me to stick to my word. My mom and I made appointments with Bryan about 3 months in advance (because that's how long he is booked!) I gave Bryan an idea of what I wanted a week before. He had sent me a drawing before my tattoo and I loved it. There were a few tweaks I wanted to make, and he said no problem. The day of the tattoo, I went in and Bryan had re drawn what I wanted. When he put the stencil on me I felt like it was too big, and without hesitation or attitude he went and shrunk it down. By far he is the BEST tattoo artist I have ever dealt with! He was so patient with me and made sure I got what I wanted. I will say, although this was the BIGGEST tattoo I have ever gotten... it was the easiest. It took an hour and turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!! I love it!!! Bryan does amazing work and I will definitely go back for my next.... and now I can confidentially say, that was NOT my last tattoo!!! Thanks Bryan, you rock!!!!!

    If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! The tattoo scene in Seattle is huge and there are SO MANY shops and artists to choose from! Not only do you want quality art work but you also want quality atmosphere and an artist that CARES and LISTENS to the permanent image they will be applying to your skin. Right when you walk in the door at Rabid Hand you can see how clean and professional it is. It isn't overly decorated. Clean walls with tasteful art that expresses each artist. I love the way the stations are set. They each have their own work space so it isn't cramped. Some places have open floor lay out and you end up being tattooed, half naked, with an audience. Always important to find an artist that meets all your needs. Each artist in this shop has their own unique style and seem very professional. Not to mention.. friendly.. WHOA. Not to stereotype but there seems to be a lot of arrogant tattooers out there. I have been tattooed by Krysten Dae at Under the needle and then at Apocalypse. She is friendly and there is never an eye roll when expressing your vision. She is a TRUE artist that takes time to draw up beautiful, custom pieces. Talent. check. Friendly. check. RAD AS F@*% CHECK! She is good enough to be booked out for months so if you are looking to book with her, I suggest making a consultation appointment in advance. The other artists there are worthy of all the praise as well. Sara Purr is also worth checking out! She has a classic style and she ROCKS IT! Last time I was in she was drawing up a lady with a fox head/hat. Lets just say.. I would have let her tattoo me right then and there.. although I was already in the middle of getting my work done with Krysten ;) Thank you Rabid Hand for being a clean, comfortable and professional shop I can count on for quality work!!!!!!

    Jacqui A. Did my tattoo. I love it! She is very talented. I was really nervous of the pain factor because it is located on my spine but she did a great job! Shop was really clean and comfortable.

    I am absolutely thrilled I found Bryan Kachel at Rabid Hands. I was very impressed when I first stepped into the shop it was well organized and very clean compared to other tattoo shops I've been to. Bryan is beyond amazing in all categories from his personality, attention to detail, understanding of how I envisioned the desirable piece to look on my skin, his creative thought process and suggestions, his timing and pricing, and the beautiful outcome of the tattoo. He also fixed an older tattoo on my arm and brought it back to life. Awesome guy! I don't care how how far he is booked out, I will now forever continue to work with Bryan.

    There is a reason Zezi and Finer Things Tattoo have a near perfect rating. Zezi is top notch. I…read morerequested a very custom landscape type piece with a small silhouette of my dog that passed and she absolutely nailed the design and then the actual execution of it. I am super pleased and excited to see it heal. This was my first tattoo and I don't think it could have gone better. Zezi is patient, listens to you, and ensures the tattoo is perfect. The studio is absolutely spotless, quiet, and very inviting. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you read some of the reviews here on Google you will see people traveling to the Seattle area to see her...and there's good reason for that. She is booked out a ways because she is so good so be sure to plan ahead.

I spent days researching artists, and Finer Things immediately stood out. Their style was exactly what I hoped for. From the start, Zezi and the team were incredibly attentive to everything I asked for. A few months later, I came into the studio for my appointment and the custom designs captured Ghost perfectly. Zezi prepared several thoughtful options, and once I chose my favorite, she got to work. She was warm, welcoming, and made my first tattoo experience unforgettable. I cannot recommend Zezi and Finer Things Tattoo Studio enough, especially if you are looking to honor a furry loved one.

    Ingrid Elaine did my first tattoo, which was also a matching set for my brother and I!!…read more I was recommended this place by a good friend who had lots of sick video game themed tattoos. I appreciate the timely response and abilities to take walk in! I got a response from Ingrid literally a few minutes after sending an inquiry on their site at 1 AM ( not drunk, just a night owl ). So happy that Ingrid was able to book my brother and I in on a Saturday slot. I gave her an inspo pic which my brother and I wanted to match for Spongebob & Patrick and she did so much better than I could have imagined! She had such a cute and colorful style. As a first time tattoo, Ingrid was calm, walked me through the process and checked on me just enough during the inking. She also posts the aftercare on her insta which is great for one to look back on. I highly recommend her designs I love our tattoos and the healing process has been so seamless. Great color choice by Ingrid and a wonderful experience for my first tattoo!!!

    Bunky Osyter is no artist, she is a scammer…read more Long story short, I created this small geometric design myself and booked an appt with Bunky Oyster and submitted my $100 deposits on 8/16/2022. Next week, she told me this one hour long tattoo session will cost me $500, cuz she charged by pieces. *** Unless her hourly rate is $500/hr, I don't see how it is possible for such small piece of tattoo will cost $500 before tip. Especially my design doesn't even require any of her drawing and creativity. Same date , I told her I am no longer pursuing a tattoo appt with her and I would like to cancel the appt for 9/8/2022 (the appt was cancelled 2 weeks prior to the actual date), then she refused to refund my deposit. Your website says 48 hours prior to appt notice for rescheduling/ cancellation or deposit is subject to be forfeited. I cancelled my appt more than 2 week, which was because Bunky Oyster was trying to up charge me by 4 times of the market price, and she refused to refund my deposit. Today I completed the exact same design for $180 w tips, and the session was completed within an hour. Bunky oyster is no artist, she is a scammer, shame on you for hiring such employee with low work ethic and so much greed. Please be careful, don't make the mistake I made with her
