I came here years ago for my birthday and bought a tattoo for my then girlfriend. My wife(different person) took me here and for my birthday bought me the only piece of flash art I have. I have been wanting it since I was with my ex gf. It was the owner who did the work. Not much shading in the design, but his line work is nice and tight. Only seen better one time in my life, and that was triple the hourly rate. Prices here are low for the quality you get in my opinion. Will definately be back here again. This is about a year later and the tattoo still gets compliments. read more

I got a tattoo there yesterday. there is double lines. leaves look nothing like what I originally requested. S does not look like an S looks like a J. chic didn't even want to tattoo me so I got a fit and his comment to her was she's not trash. I gotta go get my throat fixed now. read more

I got a tat about a year ago from this place from Tony and had a great experience, however since then I've gone back for a quote a couple times and the staff is just rude and condescending. I've even tried reaching out via social media and even through there they are dry, rude, and just not engaging artists at all. If you're looking for a small quick piece great, but if you're trying to be a repeat client and actually build a relationship with an artist I'd look somewhere else. read more

Highly recommend them! My best friend and I went in to get matching tattoos and Chris sketched, printed and inked us all right then and there and they turned out amazing!! Will definitely be going back!! read more

So I went into this shop on my vacation I was so excited to get this really important tattoo of mine for my daughter. The pictures online were great and the reviews made me want to go. Firstly the guy was a smart ass when I asked if he could do a pretty simple line tattoo, he replied "yeah I can do a single line" I said "no" like a line tattoo no shading" so I showed him what I wanted. He said he wasn't going to do the writing cause I'll get old and it won't look nice. Okay sure I get that but why the attitude?. so he drew it up it looked nice enough and still gave the same idea. So I sit down and he does his thing and puts the stencil on. He took a whole 5 minutes tattooing this and when he was done doing the lines I asked if he could make the hairline thicker cause it was reallllyyy thin he said "yeah sure that'll happen in time but whatever". Do you treat all your customers like that when they ask you to fix something?? And also thicker lines don't happen over time?????? I just wanted to get out of there at that point I wasn't even going to bother having him fix any of the other lines that were super thin or just messed up in general cause he just had a whole lotta bad attitude It was Just all around a really bad experience for me and this was $110! For something I'm going to have to go to another shop to fix! I suggest you go somewhere else if you want an artist that will work with you and not just take over YOUR tattoos d give you no say ‍ read more

Highly recommend for piercings!! Daughter and I were very hesitant for our first ear piercings, after knowing some with horror stories. Tony took the time to go over and show us all the hygiene he practices, and answered tons of questions we had. He didn't act annoyed and gave us all the time we needed to feel comfortable. He was very professional and shop is clean. Thank you, Tony! read more

I would avoid this shop like the plague, Send them a message about a tattoo and they dont respond, They could have just responded and said they would rather not do it. But we return and the guy was a classes turd about it. So avoiding this place would be my suggestion, Maybe Aberdeen is better read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. If you want to be disrespected, ignored, receive the worst customer service ever, then this is the place for you. Arrogant people. read more

Tony was awesome! Me and two of my girlfriends walked in all wanting the same piercing. The shop was super accommodating and took care of us so quickly. Tony made us feel at ease while he told us how to properly care for our piercing's and cracked a few jokes. Super happy with the piercing and service we received. Thank you Tony!! read more

My best friend and I decided to get matching tattoos while on our girl's weekend. We were walk-ins at Red Sky. Josh greeted us when we came in and said he could definitely do what we were asking for...which was a little octopus on each of our hands. He got us in right away and immediately started getting the stencils ready for our tattoos. Josh was professional, friendly, funny, and did a great job on our tattoos. Shop was clean and well kept. My friend and I definitely recommend Red Sky Tattoo to anyone wanting to get a tattoo in the Ocean shores area. We will also definitely be back next time we visit. Thank you, Josh! read more

This rating is strictly customer service based and not about tattooing. Why am I even reviewing? I called to see if there was a walk in appointment yesterday, somebody was booked but the other guy was not in but they were going to shoot him a text and see if he was coming in or available. No response at first so I waited. ..... Still waited. Instead of taking it personally I figured I'd follow up and see instead of a same day walk in, if I could do something crazy like make an appointment. Still wasn't able to get an answer to that silly question. For the 2nd time in the same day I gave my info and waited for a call back. I'm not even going to make you wait like this bunk tattoo shop did with me to let you know what's next: Nothing I never got a call back for either of my calls asking if I could come in and pay them to ink me. They may be talented but not very business oriented. Also if you look at the not recommended reviews that yelp doesn't post front and center: a lot of the 5 star reviews only have done 1 review and yelp and they sound all very familiar. See for yourself. I thought it would be fun to get a new tattoo on vacation. It would be. Just not from here. read more

If you're wanting to get pierced this is the place to go! He managed to fit me in after they closed. Very friendly & professional. Did a wonderful job on mine & I will definitely be going back for more! read more

My first tattoo? It was all right... nothing special. As a matter of fact, the tattoo artist (Josh, I think, bulky curly-haired brunette) made me and my friend feel quite awkward about getting matching tattoos. She took a picture of him at work on me, and the next thing we know, she's getting snapped at and scolded about how photos aren't allowed and HIPAA laws apply... all valid, but seriously, it was a photo of ME and his delivery was so unfriendly and abrupt. Totally ruined the mood. Such a tribute to regulations, when I'm laying there, forced to listen to obscenity-riddled conversation between the artist and client next door. And the tattoo itself? Nothing special. Six months later, and I've got blurry lines, inconsistent shadowing, and all this with proper aftercare. If anything is clear, it's that the shop takes advantage of its location and its clients. Any actual artistic talent takes a backseat to the impulsivity of its nautical location, half-drunk clients, and whatever artists happen to be on duty at the time. Get inked elsewhere. read more

Great lil shop, who would think of a tat shop at Ocean Shores. Well they are here and they are great. Thanks to Josh and Cam for taking care of my wife and I. Great work. We will definitely be back for more work. You guys are great. Come see these guys in Ocean Shores, you'll be happy you did. read more

By luck, I was able to book a walk-in appointment. I chose a piece from their flash selection, and the whole process was about 10 minutes! The artist did a touch-up of an existing tattoo for no extra charge, granted it's about an inch big. The place was clean, I felt welcomed and accepted as I was there for my appointment! So far, the tattoo is healing well and I'm glad I went! They're also strict on their minor policy, my friend who is a minor accompanied me on my tattoo appointment and they would not tattoo or pierce her while she was there! Thank you for your work! read more

Some of the reviews may call them rude. Don't let the first impression turn you away! They're actually very friendly. Josh did my tattoo and did an amazing job! It was a walk in tattoo and he managed to do such an awesome job. If you're in ocean shores definitely come here for your tattoos. read more

This shop was highly recommended to me so I attempted to get an appointment. I was told to contact on Facebook with a description of what I wanted done, & an artist would get back to me. That never happened. I called again & was told that one of the artists would get back to me. Hours later, I was in town so I stopped by. I was told to fill out a form & that someone would get back to me that day to get me scheduled. That, again never happened. I tried one more time to reach them on Facebook & never received a reply. I get that they may have gotten busy, but that was two weeks ago & I still haven't heard back. I've been to several shops over the last 20 years & this one is terrible!! read more

I was so excited for my husband to get his wedding ring tattooed on. The guys here are super nice but if you say you're not comfortable doing finger tattoos then maybe you shouldn't do it and suggest we go somewhere else. Yes, Josh I'm referring to you. I emailed you not even a week after my husband got his tattoo done because it looked like shit and asking for suggestions on what you could do to help us out. But instead I never heard anything back from you. So disappointed. Oh and keep in mind we live 4 1/2 hours away from Ocean Shores! We were just hoping for a cool new tattoo while on vacation. I don't wanna say you guys probably have so many good reviews because you are the only tattoo shop in a small town but maybe that's the case. I do know that Fat Tony does good work, so I'd stick with him! read more

I have gotten a couple of tattoos and a piercing from this place and I am never not so happy with the outcome. 10/10

One star because I can't give zero. Skip Red Sky and go to High Tide Body Art. Visited this shop today for my first ever tattoo (I'm 64). Met Josh and I could not believe how rude he was. I want a quotation tattoo and he was impatient that I didn't know the exact font - he gave us a website to look at fonts and I picked one but I was uncomfortable with the size (elbow to wrist). Asked if we could resize ... nope. What if I picked a different font ... nope. Was totally unwilling to work with us on getting to the tattoo I wanted. Frankly. looking at Josh's book, his skill doesn't warrant his arrogance. Ended up going to High Tide Body Art. No problem resizing and we got to the tattoo I wanted by making a couple of modifications. I get the tattoo tomorrow but the friendliness and customer service was amazing. I'm already glad I went there. read more

- one star. This place is bullshit. We waited for 15 minutes outside when the owner and employees were there. Sign said closed and we patiently waited until noon, which is when the sign said they opened. At two minutes after opening time the crew came out to smoke. Nothing said to us like come on in or anything. Shitty customer service and I don't recommend it. They lost two tattoo payments this day. I will never recommend them or go back!! read more

Took daughter in to get her first tattoo on her Birthday, the gal working was completely rude. Very short and the body language of not wanting to do tattoo at all. Not a way to treat customers for sure.. we left she lost out on $120. If you want to be treated like shit this is the perfect place to go. read more

It's time to shed some light on this place in ocean shores. Red sky tattoo has some nice guys there, very friendly personable people to speak to. As far as the work goes it's top notch. I recommend if you have a tattoo in mind let them draw out there artistic twist on it. My wife and I went here on our honey moon to get similar tattoos done. We disregarded any previous reviews, as we both know some people only review when they have a problem. These folks at red sky would clearly assist with your issue if you bring it up to them. The work on both my wife and I looks great. It is now up to is to care for them to ensure the art isn't ruined in the next few weeks. Great work Red Sky read more

Me and my sister went here a few months ago to get matching anchor tattoos and the ink is severely smudged if not gone, after all precautions (ie no water, plenty of non-scented hypoallergenic lotion) not only did we set an appointment and get left in the waiting room for over an hour while the employees were socializing, swearing and smoking outside with their buddies (totally unprofessional), but the guy completely botched my sister's tattoo and groaned the entire time like it was his "job" and not his passion. He had a bad attitude the entire experience. I understand having to make money, but go to an ink artist that actually cares instead of some random tattoo shop just because you're on a vacation. read more

Had a super good experience at Red Sky Tattoo! Very professional and clean place! There were 6 of us that all wanted to same tattoo done by the same artist. Tony was very happy to help us out. Two people had no tattoos and he made them feel very comfortable. If you're in Ocean Shores and feel like getting a tattoo, call them for an appointment. They do accept walk inside but an appointment is always better. read more

I'm not from Washington, but I went to visit with some friends. A large group of us came into Red Sky and got tattoos together. It was my first tattoo, so I didn't know what to expect, but when I left, I thought my tattoo looked great. After I got home, I started to notice that the raised skin wasn't going down. I took great care of my tattoo, especially because it was my first one, but soon the lines started looking really messy. It's been two year since I got a tattoo from Red Sky, and since then, I've gotten more tattoos, and discussed with other tattooers what may have caused my skin to still be raised in the areas that were tattooed, and why the lines looked all blurry. They told me that it was because the person who did my tattoo pressed too hard when they were tattooing, and scarred my skin. They also told me that since the skin is raised, it would be difficult to cover up. Many of the people I was with reported similar problems with their tattoos. As I mentioned above, I don't live in Washington, so I can't go back to Red Sky and complain, but that is why I'm leaving this Yelp review, to warn others. read more

My boyfriend and I came up for the weekend to Ocean shores and saw this little tattoo shop so we decided to get piercings. My boyfriend was first and had his septum pierced by Tuesday. I, feeling extremely jealous of my boyfriends piercing, came back later to get a nose ring. He was about to leave and seemed irritated that I came through the door asking for a piercing. He had a very full of himself attitude, and it wasn't until he made a mistake that he began being nice. To be honest, I don't think he let me look at the placement before starting, but me being as nervous as I was, just wanted it over. After the needle went through and he added the ring, he began fitting it. This took a good I'd say 10 minutes because he made the ring so snug he couldn't get the ball on. He started apologizing and calling me sweetie and even offered to give me the piercing for free (didn't follow through and I should have insisted). I noticed after leaving ocean shores that my ring seemed really low on my nostril; went into Metro after a week and was told that it was too low. I did tell them how I requested a nose ring that would hug my nose...but the piercer there told me it was still too low. This new piercer had to cut the ring off my nose because the ring wouldn't bend. She said whoever they get their jewelry from must be cheap. I asked her what she meant, and she told me the nicer rings will be flexible and bend, and don't require pliers. You get what you pay for I guess....lesson learned. read more

Tony was really nice and did a great job. Fit me in right away as a walk in tattoo. Even though I was getting a simple tattoo he took the time to make sure it was a great experience for me. I'd definitely recommend Tony to anybody out there. read more

Worst experience EVER. I have many tattoos and piercings and this place was terrible. The piercer was awful and he smelled like a walking pub. I had to wait more than an hour and a half...for what, I don't know. There wasn't a single other patron the entire time I waited. The piercer fumbled with the jewelry and pierced at such a strange angle that my lip got majorly inflamed and infected. Stay away from these people of you value your flesh. read more
