    My boyfriend and I are so happy with our tats!! We'll definitely be back. The tattoos turned out even better than the pictures we had brought in.

    :-( looks awful

    Clearly you must fit the punk look to get quality service here. After reading many great reviews, I was very excited to stop in and get a very simple tattoo I've been wanting for about a year. They did not ask me how I thought the stencil looked and after applying it to my arm, he immediately started tattooing. After he finished tattooing, he did not ask me what I thought of it, just bandaged it up with a piece of paper towel and tape. I am deeply upset over how my tattoo looks and I wish I had been able to say something and have him change it. Since I live out of the area, I now must pay someone else to fix his sloppy work. Attached are the pictures of what it was supposed to look like, versus what I received. As you can see, it looks nothing like the photo, poorly done and sloppily executed. I'm honestly so embarrassed of it I've kept it hidden since I got it. Be warned.

    Getting inked by Max

    I've now been to Southside Tattoo twice and both were great experiences. I was referred to Kay from a friend and she did my foot tattoo last year. It was easy to get in and her laid back confidence put this first timer at ease :) This year I wanted to get in super fast and Kay was booked so I scheduled with Max. He did my wrist tattoo and was so fun. He really enjoys his work. I gave him my ideas and some pics and he interpreted them perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Several people have commented it's their favorite tattoo they've seen. I will for sure keep recommending Southside and their various artists!

    I recently got a tattoo from Max . It was a great experience. The parlor was clean and Max was professional and used care with hygiene. he was receptive to my ideas and was able to create the design I wanted without a stencil. It was been five days and no problem with healing.

    Recently got this awesome angel rib tattoo from Max!

    Wasn't exactly sure how this was going to look as a tattoo since the picture I gave him was of a statue but Max did an awesome job of converting it to ink!! It hurt something fierce but was so worth it- exceeded my expectations! Thankyou Max!!

    My rockabilly Belle and my zombie vampire that Steve has done.

    I've been coming here ever since I turned 18 (and now I'm 21) and I absolutely love everything about this place - the environment, the artists, the talent, and the friendliness. I am a client of Steve's and he is one of the most talented human beings I have ever met. He's very kind and hilarious, and he takes his work seriously. He is honestly one of my favorite human beings. My favorites are my thigh tattoos - I gave him ideas and he ran with them. One is a rockabilly belle from beauty and the beast, and the other is a zombie vampire. The attention to detail he gives is outstanding; you can literally see veins in the zombie girl, making her more realistic. I recommend this place 100%. It's the only tattoo parlor I have gone to that feels like home. Max and Kay are also very talented and kind people. All three of them have so much talent.

    Kat did a great job on me and two of my friends. She is a legit artist, I'm still happy with her work 3 years after the fact.

    Jaime at Universal is amazing! I won a free tattoo with her and she listened to every aspect of the…read moretattoo that I wanted as a redemption memorial piece for my grandma (my other one has to be covered, it's so bad!) What won the contest was me mentioning that I wanted to get a pray mantis, and Jaime had found one on the front door of the shop. She snapped a few pictures of it, traced it, and that's he little dude we put in there. We did an olive branch because my grandmas first job was picking olives, and my daughter's name is Olive. A California poppy because I'm born and raised in Northern California. And pink azaleas because I had one in the front yard of my child hood home. My experience was top tier, Jaime was awesome and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you again Jaime.

    I came to Universal Rites in search for a studio that had good vibes and talented artists. My first…read moreimpressions of the studio were, it's clean, the lobby was welcoming and had good seating with a portfolio of each artists work. I was greeted by one of the Tattoo Artists, Raul. Raul greeted me as I walked into the studio and quickly made me feel at home and walked me through all of the different Tattoo Artists work and booth areas. I left my contact information for a consultation with Raul and was contacted the very next day to begin my tattoo journey. Raul got me into his booth for tattooing the design I chose two weeks later from my consult. I have gotten over 36 hours of tattoo work done in the past. Hands down, my experience at Universal Rites Tattoo was one of my better experiences while getting tattooed. Raul's booth had a super comfortable table to lie on while being tattooed, his tattoo machines are newer models that don't hurt like the older machines used to and his booth was filled with art that he hand painted himself. Raul's work shows for itself, his line work is some of the best I've come across. My tattoo process was seamless, damn near painless and some of the more affordable prices I've come across. I'm excited to keep scheduling more future work through this studio and hopefully try out the other great Artists who work there.

    Daughter got her ears pierced here (4th, 5th, 6th holes). Knowledgeable, friendly, daughter says…read moredidn't hurt. She got excellent post procedure instructionsv on how to care for her piercings. It is a studio attached to her home, so don't be afraid to walk up to the door and come in. Door is on side of house and well marked. I was so impressed with Mori's sketch book I decided to finally get the tattoo I always wanted. For 9 years I have looked for an artist who shared my asthetic. I went to several places in Seattle but never found a good fit. She worked with me until we got the design just the way I wanted. She was patient and kind. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Again, she was very thorough with her post-procedure instructions. As a nurse practitioner I was glad to see she had an autoclave for sterilizing her equipment and that she used new needles on each person. She carefully inspected each needle before use using a jeweler eyepiece. I would highly recommend Mori.

    Horrific. Rude, unprofessional, sloppy. I believe her words regarding my botched lopsided tattoo…read morewere "I'm not a god". No one is expecting you to be, but we do expect you to do quality tattoos when you are yielding a tattoo gun to people's skin. This is permanent, forever. Absolutely atrocious, if you care about your body, your artwork don't let Mori come anywhere near you with a needle....and to add insult to injury, the crap she tries to sell you to heal your tattoo is awful and painful, not only is my tattoo horrific but infected as well from whatever vodoo stuff she gave me. Luckily she has a "light hand" as she brags, so maybe laser treatment will be able to get out this awful job.
