    I went through some sh*t in the last year and decided to head up to Vashon for a break. After a lot of work, I wanted a tattoo to mark the big change in my life (a sea change, if you will) with a tattoo of my family crest which includes the inspirational phrase, I Live in Hope. I saw a number of people around town with great pieces and each time I asked where they got them, they mentioned Sea Change. Casey was amazing from start to finish. A truly great hearted guy. As it was my first time, he talked me through the process and answered all my questions with no attitude. I showed him a couple of the versions of the badge and he composited them to capture the best elements. He asked me what music I liked and put on Spotify. The tattooing took just under and hour and we talked about life and tattoos and girls and heartbreak and resilience--the pain was minimal. In my opinion, if you're gonna get permanently marked you want the person doing it to be a generous soul. Casey is that guy. The tattoo is beautiful with nice crisp lines and detail--I've had many compliments. I couldn't be happier. I look at it every day and remind myself to live in hope. And given how great the experience was, the price was extremely good (much less than here in LA). If you'e a first timer I highly recommend you hit Casey up.

    My amazing tattoo done by Casey Buxton.

    I am beyond furious with the way Pierced Hearts handled my sister's navel piercing. From the start,…read morethis experience has been a disaster due to sheer negligence and a complete lack of accountability. My sister clearly explained to the piercer, Jaime, that she has a very flat belly button and specifically asked if the standard navel jewelry would be appropriate. He confidently said yes -- and we trusted his professional judgment. That trust was completely misplaced. As time passed, the jewelry began to embed itself into her skin, which should never have happened with the right jewelry in the first place. We returned to the shop, and Adam helped change it to a floating navel piercing -- the type she should have received from day one. He apologized and even took a photo of the damage because it was obvious something had gone terribly wrong. But the damage had already been done. Within a week, she developed a severe infection -- one that urgent care later confirmed was likely due to the original jewelry creating a gaping wound that never healed properly. Despite following aftercare instructions to the letter, she ended up on two antibiotics and hydrocodone just to manage the pain. Yet when we returned to the shop a third time to request a refund and share what she was going through, the staff were incredibly dismissive and refused to take any responsibility. They immediately shifted blame, accusing her of neglecting aftercare, even though we were meticulous. No effort was made to offer a solution, express genuine concern, or show even the slightest empathy. Just said "well, do you want to get it pierced again?!" ... no! Her belly button area now is completely bruised and mangled because of this place. We will never be coming back here again. To make matters worse, the owner was outright disrespectful and condescending over the phone. When we told him that medical professionals advised removing the piercing and draining the infection, her arrogant response was, "Why would they do that?!" as if she knew better than actual doctors. That tone alone spoke volumes about how little they care once they have your money. We asked for a refund because of all the trouble we've been through after the negligence of the first piercer, now having to pay for urgent care visits and medication. I chose this shop based on their glowing reviews, but let me be clear: if you're considering any body piercing here, don't. They might be decent with ear piercings or tattoos -- but when it comes to body piercings, especially anything more complex, they are careless, unprofessional, and utterly unwilling to take accountability when something goes wrong. My sister went in for a simple piercing and walked away in physical pain and emotional distress, and not once did they offer real help, only excuses. This shop failed her. Completely.

Carl was amazing to work with throughout the whole process, allowing me to verify the size and placement of the tattoo, and making sure to show me each needle he was using was brand new.

My major source of dissatisfaction was being unable to simply reschedule the appointment, but I am amending this review on the basis that she did do her best to make the situation right in the end. my friend and i tried going here to get matching tattoos on 3/26, we were required to send two deposits as "appointment holders" a week in advance through venmo. i woke up at 4am on the 26th with food poisoning and tried to reschedule, our artist said we could reschedule and keep one of the deposits. we tried rescheduling, but she left both of us on delivered and has kept the money. Tattooing is all about good service and word of mouth, which is why i wanted to try this spot in the first place. it has been 3 weeks since we've heard from her. I did NOT want to cancel my appointment, i wanted to go 2 days later so I wouldn't get her sick (because i could've done that for free).

    Wanted to do something special for Valentine's Day with my husband. All it took was one quick call,…read morecar 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!!!!!!

    I am writing this review for my partner as he is too kind.... The apprentice David refused to do…read morehis 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.

    THANK YOU DENISE…read more From start to finish the progression of getting my tattoo was phenomenal. Due to not really being from this area I was referred to see Denise by a friend. Instagram is a beautiful thing. Lol As soon as I saw her style and quality of work, I had to make an appointment. I messaged her through Instagram and she told me to call in to schedule a consultation. I spoke with the friendly receptionist and I had a consult scheduled easily within the next few days. Due to covid I was really hesitant of going anywhere since this virus is literally taking over the world lol. But anyways I went in and met Denise. She was very efficient and personable. We talked about what I wanted and she was excited to come up with ideas. Which I knew no matter what it'd turn out dope. Due to my hectic schedule and hers as well we found a date that worked. She requires a $60 deposit that will go towards your tattoo. Definitely understandable just in case I was a flake. Our tattoo artists time is precious. Especially if we are having them sketch an original piece just for you. When I arrived for my actual appointment, I came in 15min early. Just so I could give courtesy to Denise and of course paperwork. I was so excited when she showed me what she drew up. She listened to everything I f*cking wanted. Ayyyyyeeeeee! Finally a tattoo artist I felt 100% confident in. Denise was very thoughtful of placement and what looked good on me. I've had tattoos done from a few different artists around the world and I'll say Denise was the best one I've Eva had. :P AHUUUAHHHH! I'm not even trying to front for this review. I'm just stating facts. The ambiance of the facility was the cherry on top. It was cleanly, modern, and just well thought out. I felt comfortable taking off my mask and relaxing while Denise did her thang. Her playlist was pretty fiya too. I wish I could add emojis to this but just know I was vibing. I'm sure you know this by now but I was satisfied with the outcome of my tattoo. I love it! Thank you again girrrrl. She charges an hourly rate that'd you have to ask her about but when I was finished she charged me $199. I was surprised, I was expecting to pay maybe like $250-300. Whatever the case It's worth every cent. Anyways, Thank you and I can't wait to see you again Denise. :]
