    I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and the husband and wife duo that run it! I haven't stopped looking at my tattoo since I left the shop last week and I'm already looking forward to my next session :) If you are looking for beautiful work, make an appointment here! You will not regret it.

    Curtis is a professional, clean, personable, and really really talented. Made me feel at ease for my first tattoos and played a badass playlist to boot. I'm so jacked about what he did for me - he just made another client for life. These tattoos have a ton of meaning, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I can't recommend the man enough. The shop is cozy and comfortable and the art is just rad. Everything was clean and he washed/sanitized, which made feel safe. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

    For about 5 years now Curtis has been my tattoo artist, and I was really excited to find that he opened his own studio. Curtis is terrific. He is meticulous in keeping his workspace clean. Even amidst the pandemic, he took special care to sanitize the workspace and properly keep things clean while he worked. His work is fast and precise. Whenever I present an idea for a piece, he is extremely helpful in providing advice on position and sizing. I'm always excited to have him work on me! The photo I attached is of a piece he did on me a few years back. Even to this day, it's clean and the colors look great.

    Caitlin is amazing! Her talent speaks for itself, but her kindness, "bed-side" manner, and sense of humor makes the time spent on her table fly by. She also made me feel like a partner in the creative process, she listened to my ideas and came up with a beautiful piece that was better than I could have imagine!

    Oh man! Where do I start!! I have been getting tattooed for over 12 years and I've never felt so comfortable and safe! Curtis is so incredibly nice and his work is beautiful. I am customer for life! Highly highly recommend.

    I got another tattoo from Caitlin recently. Their new shop is awesome - so fun, welcoming, and bright. Caitlin did another great job and the new tattoo she designed for me was exactly what I wanted!

    Curtis absolutely crushed it on this sleeve! Very collaborative with the ideas I came in with. I love this addition to my bodysuit, cannot recommend this guy enough.

    1st tattoo from Curtis

    I've been getting tattooed by Curtis since 2014 and every single experience has been incredible. I have 5 tattoos done by Curtis and 1 done by Caitlin (not pictured here, sorry!) When I went in for my first big tattoo I was so nervous that I almost fainted! But Curtis made me feel super comfortable and was really easy to talk to and get along with so it made the experience a breeze. I love that I can give him a general idea and he somehow draws up exactly what I was imagining! The phrase "bold will hold" is spot on for both Curtis and Caitlins work. Even the pieces that have been out in the sun for years now are still bright, solid, and holding up perfectly. I can't wait to visit the new shop!

    Curtis tattooed me for the first time a couple weeks ago and WOW! By far my favorite tattoo to date. I had messaged Curtis an idea of what I wanted and what he created was even better than I had imagined! I believe my tattoo took about 2.5-3 hours? So far this is my biggest tattoo and the longest session I've had, but half of the time it didn't even feel like I was getting a tattoo! Great conversation and great music, all around great atmosphere at this shop. Curtis is super creative and an incredibly talented artist. I definitely recommend Stairs Tattoo! I can't wait to come back and get more done.

    I started following Curtis on Instagram about a year ago because I really dig his art and his tattoos are hella clean! I decided to reach out to him and schedule an appointment. From start to finish he was very personable, friendly, and professional. This dude knows how to tattoo! His lines are crispy and his shading and color is smooth and uniform. The shop is clean and full of good energy. I will be definitely be getting more work done at Stairs tattoo!

    I was tattooed by Curtis while he was still at blue geisha and I cannot say enough good things about this guy. I had a pretty vague idea of what I wanted and he turned it into beautiful art. He was professional, kind, and made me feel so at ease the entire time. 10/10 would recommend!! Cannot wait to see him again at his new space.

    My very freshly tattooed custom piece I screen-shotted when she shared it in her story on IG.

    I lost my nipple jewelry and went in to get replacements. I had bars and wanted rings but my gauge…read morewas high and I have really small nipples and didn't think large rings would look right. I told the front person that I would sacrifice gauge size for the rings to look right. He didn't seem to hear me and said oh no I needed to keep my size. I let them put them in and I was so unhappy. I went back and saw Chuck and they got it immediately and gave me smaller rings. I felt pressured and unheard and Chuck saved the day. Two weeks later I wanted to get my septum pierced so I wanted to see Chuck again. They don't do that piercing. I saw Connor. He spent time marking my nostrils and telling me what was going to happen. Well, he pierced me and the piercing was crooked. The jewelry doesn't look right now. I asked what could be done he said after a week come back and get re-pierced. I am so frustrated and angry. The piercing, despite what most people say, really hurt. I guess I will go back and make them fix my nose but after these two experiences I can't recommend them and they'll never get any more business from me. Gotta take their free sticker off the car too.

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
