Wanted to do something special for Valentine's Day with my husband. All it took was one quick call, car ride and short consultation. Within hours we were getting uniquely designed tattoos!! We were greeted and tattooed by Travis, the owner at Savage Kat Tattoo Co in Auburn, WA! His professionalism and skills were absolutely outstanding. We got extremely lucky that he happened to be free due to a cancellation. The universe was truly looking out for us! He sat with us and listened to everything we liked, wanted and hoped for. Designed multiple options for us and modified our chosen designs until they were everything we could dream of. The designs were perfectly matching for the both of us while being tailored uniquely for our own preferences and placements. This was also my husband's first tattoo! I'm so thankful we had such a lovely experience with a tremendous artist who showed my husband everything that a tattoo appointment and experience truly should be. Travis was so great in offering advice on placement according to anatomy and future tattoo plans to ensure a perfectly done tattoo. He made sure he got our approval on everything every step of the way and clarified spelling multiple times throughout the process to guarantee no chance of mistakes or misspelling. This was a small but extremely notable thing for us and really showed how involved and invested Travis is in both his art and his clients. After each of our completed tattoos, he was kind enough to take a video and photos of our tattoos and send them to us. This was so nice. We could immediately show off to friends and family - and in way better lighting and angles then we'd have been able to get ourselves! While there, I also decided to purchase a high quality nose jewelry that Toxic, a tattoo/piercer at the shop, was even willing to put in for me. We cannot recommend them enough, Travis and the whole Savage Kat Tattoo Co team, for all of your tattoo and piercing needs! This place is high quality only. We will be visiting again!!!! Thank you!!!!!! read more

I am writing this review for my partner as he is too kind.... The apprentice David refused to do his tattoo in the 3 different locations he requested and also asked for it to be oriented differently and also got refused. Yes he should've just left and not allowed him to do the tattoo in a location he did not want but he is too nice as I mentioned and also had been waiting for 2 hours for this tattoo. The tattoo itself is nice, just bad service and I think artists should just allow people to place tattoos where they desire, it's not like he was asking for it to be on his forehead... he wanted it on his leg yet ended up with it on his arm. read more

My daughter got her nose pierced at this establishment and I was impressed by their facility upkeep, cleanliness and professionalism. The piercer used titanium jewelry and his knowledge/experience were apparent. I can't remember his name but he had a head tattoo and took his time with my daughter to ensure he knew exactly what she wanted. The experience was fast, smooth and resulted in exactly what my daughter wanted. At first we thought the piercer's placement was too low and to the side but after discussion, we decided to trust his expertise. We are glad we did. Once the piercing was over, it looked great. Recommended! read more

Travis has done all my work and he's AMAZING! However... his staff is also AMAZING! I sent my daughter tonight with a friend without me and they were kind, professional, detailed, and represented Travis' standards per usual. I've been to many shops, this one is top notch. Looking forward to finishing my sleeve read more

I got 2 face piercings from Toxic and it was great. I felt relaxed & comfortable. My Husband came and sat with me and all 3 of us were having a great conversation. I got my right nostril and a Marilyn Monroe. And they were fairly painless. Can't WAIT to go back for more jewelry and my Husband to get a tattoo! Highly recommend. read more

I have had multiple piercings done by the piercer that works here and his name is Toxic! He is very professional, precise and takes great pride in his work!! I'd recommend this establishment and this man for anybody that wants a job that is done top notch!!! Thank you Toxic!!! read more

This review is for Avina!!! She tattoo'd both me and my mom for a "mother/daughter" tattoo. Her work is so beautiful that it could really speak for itself, but I'm gonna review anyway! haha Avina is really easy to work with, is responsive, and is a very talented artist. Avina took time to understand what it was that both my mom and I wanted and brought each vision to life. We both ended up getting floral tattoos and love them! It was my mom's first ever tattoo and the experience was both fun and comfortable for her, which was just as important to me as the tattoo itself. And to this day, I still look at the leaves on my tattoo and admire the beautiful lines on them! Avina has great attention to detail. On top of that, it was so special being tattoo'd by a fellow woman BIPOC :) I will absolutely come back to be tattoo'd by Avina again someday! I hope you do too :) read more

I wanted a very detailed embroidery patch type tattoo for my grandson named Remington. I submitted a request for Travis via email . I was contacted within a few days for a consultation. Travis met with me in a timely fashion. We set up a session I was in the chair about two months after the initial email this was to line up with my time off I could have got in a little sooner. The place is extremely clean more like unbelievably clean. They have multiple tv's a great banter in place between employees and customers. Lots of movie options to make the time move by. Multiple chair and cushion options for your comfort. This was my second complicated tattoo from Savage Kat and I'll be back. read more

This is my favorite piercing shop. I have gotten tattoos here as well. The shop is always clean and a super fun environment to be in. Gumby is amazing. They are very professional and knowledgeable, and always have a calming presence to them. My piercings, jewelry changes, and removals (had two dermals removed by Gumby) have gone smoothly and with little anxiety. They are great at talking you through the process and making sure you're comfortable, while making it as quick and easy as possible. I just got my Daith pierced today, and it was just overall a very pleasant experience (as pleasant as possible given you are being stabbed with a tiny needle lol) and I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes. I have been able to get same day appointments more often than not, but if they're busy, they're worth waiting for an appointment! read more

I have been waiting to get a tattoo near and dear to my heart for two years now. After planning and over thinking and dreading the rib pain I finally found Savage Kat, and Paige! Paige is a first year artist but she's so incredibly talented I would not have known. Paige was incredibly kind, professional, helpful, fun, fast, and all over amazing. She made me 5 different sketches and only had to to tweak my choice very slightly for it to be perfect. She also made sure I felt comfortable while getting my tattoo, while my chest was exposed, and while I laid in a slightly awkward position for 90 minutes. The shop is also SUPER cool and comfy. It's got gorgeous lighting and something to look at in every corner. They played a movie, so I basically just laid back and watched a comedy once we got everything all drawn up. I will absolutely be going back to Paige for my next tattoo and am so thankful to have found her and Savage Kat! read more

I have lots of tattoos, in lots of places from lots of different people...across the country and this place is my favorite. Paige is my girl. We started emailing about an idea, switched ideas, talked on the phone...made the appointment and boom! I loved that as we planned the placement she was talking to me about future ink...and making sure I thought about what's next. The shop is big which I love not feeling crammed in. It's clean, I mean spotless. I learned even more about germs. I'm picking out my next two and Paige will be the one. Highly recommend. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Went in to get my nose re-pierced as it had recently closed. The place is clean, open and decent vibe. AFTER getting my nose done, the guy tells me that he didn't have the correct length stud for my small nose so it would fall out my nostril. And I could come back in 10 weeks to spend more money to get the correct size if the piercing had healed well enough by then. I work in Finance in the corporate office and I have to stick my finger up my nose 20 times per day so it's not hanging out my nostril. If I hadn't just paid $70 plus a fat tip I would let it heal and try again. read more

I got my septum and nostril pierced by Robyn, who was amazing and explained every step of the process to me and was super easy to work with right from the get-go. The shop is super clean and they have extra measures in place for COVID. They sanitize EVERYTHING and I felt comfortable and safe. I like that they have tv's set up so you have something to chill out and watch it you're getting tattooed and have to be there for hours. I would definitely go back for more piercings. I cannot speak for the tattoo experience as I haven't had any done here, but I'd definitely consider them in the future. read more

Excellent service with professional artists. Myself and couple of my family go to Camilo and Paige. Very clean place. Fun vibe, check out the lounge areas. They accommodate family audiences (first tattoos so 3 onlookers for us first timers). Great design work, thoughtful of individuals requests. Camilo 2 forearm tattoos for Anime were spot on. Paige gets my next tattoo, black and gray. She did a beautiful dragon on daughter's ankle. read more

My last piercing experience was interesting to say the least. The piercer asked me to steal lidocaine from my work in trade for free piercing. So I was skeptical of trying a new place. Hidden Entity came highly recommended so I went with it. As for choosing which piercer to see, I went with the name as they both came with great praise. Gumby was so nice. I went in for a nostril and septum piercing. The nostril had to be paired with the other side (done previously). He took the time to really make them match to the best of his ability. Same with my septum. He took his time and not only made sure the septum would be a good piercing, but making sure it was straight. He was very clean and explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. The process was so smooth and pain was minimal. I'm absolutely in love with my new piercings and I will be recommending Gumby to anyone and everyone I can. The shop was clean and they were on top of their Covid precautions. Such a great experience, I highly recommend!!! read more

For years I planned my arm tat and after lots of searching I finally found Timothy! He is incredibly skilled and a great conversationalist! I was absolutely mesmerized by how clean and precise his lines were! He came up with the perfect way to incorporate my sunflowers and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! It looks unreal! read more

My go-to tattoo artist, Timmy, moved to Hidden Entity! I wasn't here to actually get tatted, but my friend was here for a consultation so I came along. This place is DOPE. There are plasma televisions, leather couches for people who are waiting, and everything just looks so CLEAN. I haven't met any of the other artists here besides Timmy, but I can vouch for Timmy and say that he does some really great work. I've had small, simple tattoos done by him and he just recently finished up a big custom piece on my shoulder as well, and each time I have been extremely satisfied! I know I'll be back here in the future, so I'll give a better review then, but even just being in there for 10 minutes impressed me. I can't wait to come back for my next tattoo! read more

I absolutely would recommend going here to get your piercings done, no matter what you want to get. I finally got the courage to get a nose piercing that I've been wanting for a very long time. I was nervous a bit scared to be honest before walking in and getting it done. I was greeted very friendly and quickly by Robyn. She really assured me that it wouldn't hurt and it'd be quick. So we signed some paper work and she got my ID. Afterwards, I was seated down for about one - two minutes while she was prepping everything , also she marked where the piercing would be and showed me in a mirror too so I would be happy with where it would be and I was. So Robyn did the piercing she told me breathe in, and then breathe out and when I breathed out she puncture my nose and it was done, honestly it was quick and painless! I absolutely was beyond relieved. She cleaned my nose cause obviously you're gunna be bleeding by now and let me know the cleaning process and healing process. I bought the solution from the shop too so I can clean it immediately after I get home, which I totally recommend getting. In the end I spent $81 for the piercing, solution with tax. Which isn't bad at all! You're treated so good at this shop. Also the shop's cleanliness is STUNNING from the ground up , very clean and organized. Which made me comfortable and confident coming here. Over all, come here and go with Robyn she'll make your experience amazing. She's so friendly and quick! read more

Paige is amazing! She did an incredible job on my tattoo! She took her time and made sure it was just right. Will definitely be back!

Got a septum piercing here probably like 2 months ago and pretty sure the piercer put it way too low. This was my 3rd time getting it re-pierced and the previous times at another shop I was able to flip my piercing up, now it's difficult to do so. When I got my septum done at another spot, it healed perfectly fine, didn't hurt after it healing. The piercing is supposed to go in the "sweet spot" which is more tender. After couple of weeks getting it done at hidden entity I could still feel pain, definitely wasn't the softest spot in my nose. He was kind of quick with it too. It was the end of the day so I get it, you wanna peace out. But now I'm probably just going to take out the piercing and go somewhere else lol read more

AMAZING service! got my tongue pierced by gumby about a month ago and they did amazing and was very clean. I watched them clean and change gloves multiple times and they answered all my questions. would 100% get all my future piercings from here. read more

Savage Kat is AMAZING!! My artist Paige is the BEST. She took care to understand what I wanted out of my tattoo, made sure I was happy with the design she created for me and checked in often during the process to make sure I was comfortable. I love the work she did and I can't wait to come back to her for my next one. The shop is the coolest I've seen. The atmosphere is welcoming and really makes you feel good being there. I did my tattoo, then hung around for my husband's and felt good just being around great people. Also, they are super clean and make sure everything is serialized. Made me feel safe. Thank you Paige!! And Team! read more

I was looking for somewhere great to get my conch and upper lobe piercing done and this place had the best reviews! Gumby was the one who helped me out and he is the best! He's super nice and helped me learn more about what I was wanting before he did anything and made recommendations just based off what was the best route to go. Everyone there is so chill and the place is so clean. I immediately text my friends and let them know that they should definitely look into for piercings or tattoos. I'm going to go back when my conch heals so that Gumby can help me with switched my studs over to a hoop. Honestly, if your going in for your first piercing or you just don't know too much, this place is great! read more

Our 13 year old wanted his ears pierced for his birthday. We are a house full of tattoo lovers so our shared experience brought us to understand that he would have a better experience at a tattoo/piercing shop than some lame stand in the mall. We googled shops near our home and these folks were so willing and excited to help even though it was near their closing time. We were able to zip down there on his birthday and get his ears done quickly and professionally. Great shop! Clean, well lit and friendly staff. read more

I was very impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of all the staff at this shop. I was looking for an artist to do a mandala piece on my forearm and that's how I stumbled across New York's page on IG. Her attention to detail and light hand while tattooing made my experience at the shop delightful. She is in high demand so I had to wait since October, but well worth it. My piece is gorgeous! Thank you New York and to the fun staff at the shop! I will definitely send people your way. read more

Thanks Camilo for the beautiful tattoo. read more

This place is awesome!! Very clean and sets needles and work station in front of you so you know what's being done in between your session. We did a walk in and Timothy graciously took us in. We originally wanted our tattoos done in dime or nickel size but he immediately told us that that wouldn't work due to older age and the tattoo changing and all that. The owner and him would always look over the stencil to make sure the placement looked right and then would have me officially approve it. Overall the experience was amazing! I hands down out of all the tattoo artists I've had would recommend him. He takes your wants into account but also suggests what is realistic. I'm very happy with our last minute crazy adventure! Also very entertaining to talk to! :) read more

It's been a month since I got a tattoo at hidden entity, and I let them know that I wasn't comfortable with the shading on this tattoo the day after it was done. They initially claimed that it would look different after healing. Two weeks later they contacted me asking for my phone number so they could call and set up an appointment. They never called. I finally emailed them again asking to please set up a consultation so we can fix this, Aaaaaand nothing. No call. No response. I understand that it's awkward having someone not appreciate their """"art""" but like damn it's even more awkward having to walk around with some ugly tattoo, wearing long sleeves in the spring, knowing some amateur literally just used you for practice. read more

This review is specifically for the artist Jeff. I was super excited to get a coverup. I originally wanted a phoenix. The first warning sign I should have seen was that the design he came up with was nothing like the multiple photos I sent him. We spent 2 hours trying to fix it and he didn't listen to what I was telling him. I eventually changed it to a tiger because the phoenix was not what I wanted. Next warning signs, the first session took 5 hours and he didn't finish and he wanted to set another appointment for 2 weeks out. Every place I've gone to has said to wait at least a month. I pushed the appointment out to a little under 4 weeks. The 2nd session took 3 additional hours and hurt a lot from the start (I sat for the first session of 5 hours without issue). He still didn't finish and everytime I asked him how much longer he just said "it'll take as long as it'll take". At this point, I was feeling like he wasn't comfortable with the style of tattoo. The tiger head was not great after the first session but I thought it was because he didn't have time to finish. For the first session, I used saniderm and it healed fine after about 5 days. After the 2nd session, I was in so much pain and the saniderm was soaked after the first day. I went in and he changed it out. It was still oozing alot and by day 4, it was leaking so I took the saniderm off. I ended up having to take antibiotics because it got infected. I went in to have Jeff look at the tattoo and he didn't bother looking at it more than a second and says "it happens sometimes" and to check back in with him in about 2 weeks . No information about what I should do to take care of the tattoo. I was in pain for almost 3 weeks. I sent an email cancelling my follow up appointment with a picture of how damaged my skin was after the 2nd session and never heard back from him. The pictures are the stencil, right after the first session, right after the 2nd session, last pic shows the damage after about 3 weeks healed. It is still healing. I posted pictures on a tattoo forum and everyone believes he didn't know how to do this tattoo, milking me for money, and overworked the tattoo and damaged my skin. This ended up taking 8 hours, $1200 and I need to pay someone else to fix it. I don't trust him to touch my skin again. I'm posting this so others can be aware. I went to Savage Kat because there was only positive reviews but now realize that none were for this specific artist. read more

I am putting in a 5 star because overall this place was very family and warming to start with. I got my belly button done around 9 months ago and it is still in the healing process to this day. I did think it was the way that they pierced it at first because my at home care for it was constant and I still do clean it because of the healing not being fully done. My mother explained to me that hers never healed when she had one at my age so I'm taking it as maybe my body just isn't fit for piercings. Overall pain level was literally a 0 didn't hurt at all and I didn't even know she was done. read more

I heard about Hidden Entity through friends who had been tattooed by Travis and New York in the past - and had an amazing experience. We went in to get tattooed by Travis's apprentice, Jaxson. We were looking to find a design that 4 very opinionated girl friends would agree on, which is no easy task. Eventually we settled on a simplified and cute design. Jaxson was accommodated to all of our requests along the way. He was able to complete all 4 of our tattoos in one afternoon/evening, which was important to us! We are so happy with our tattoos and had a great time getting them done. Thanks again Jax, our friendship is now immortalized!! read more

First off, I would like to say I really appreciate how well kept this shop is, very clean and friendly customer service! When you walk in tattoo shops, sometimes it feels intimidating but the employees here are super chill and make you feel comfortable. I had my tattoo done by Timmy, told him I wanted peonies flowers and he surprised me with a beautiful custom piece that was EXACTLY what I wanted! I'm so happy with how my tattoo turned out :) I'm so happy my best friend, Lauren, recommended me to him! Now there's no one else I'd rather get tatted by. He takes his time and pays attention to detail, which was very important to me. Thanks Timmy! Can't wait to come back for more :) read more
