I don't know about the rest of this joint, but tattooer Justin Delong is a pro who in my opinion is pretty much the ideal tattooer: Artistic versatility, chops on the gun, and a down-to-earth professional approach to tattooing that combines a perfect balance between his artistic talent with a practical workmanlike approach to the sometimes pretentious or macho bullshit world of tattoo shops. I've gotten two big tattoos from Delong, and--though it takes a lot to not want to kill someone who is repeatedly stabbing you and rubbing your skin raw for 7 hours while your arm is twisted behind your back--it's a testament to Delong's "chairside manner" that left me walking out of there in a tired but good mood with my favorite tattoos. I get constant complements on these from random strangers. It's not the reason I got them, but it sure reinforces my impression of money and time well spent. I will be going back for extensive and continued work in the future. If you like actual good tattoos at a fair price, I would recommend you do the same. It's worth the drive. read more

Top notch, super classy and CLEAN! Tom runs a great place. Good artists on staff with a range of talent! Open floor plan and some private booths as well. Tyler is my personal favorite and is always amazing with his work. Stop in and talk to the guys, make a reservation and put your down payment to hold your appointment! It's worth it! read more

See all

Been here two different times for piercings. Both of them were for my daughter. The first one was her navel which wasn't done deep enough so it looks a little funny and the second one was her nose which was done at a weird angle so some nose rings don't lay flat. The guy who did them both wasn't very pleasant and didn't seem to want to talk much. We only went back a second time because it was a spur of the moment thing, they were open and they had changed locations so we thought maybe they would have a different piercer. I don't have any idea how good their work is on tattoos but I wouldn't recommend them for piercing. read more

My sister came here for her memorial peice on her back. It turned out gorgeous. Tyler did a fantastic job. When I mentioned a sister tattoo she knew right were to go. I have not had a tattoo in 16 years . I won't go any where else from now on. My sister was right, Tyler did a amazing job. Worth the drive and wait time. I will be back for the peice done on my back years ago for a redo from only Mr. Tyler. The shop was clean and staff very friendly. read more

I went in to Tattoo Evolution on a Saturday and talked with Brian Savage. He quoted a more than fair price compared to many other shops I visited and agreed to meet myself, my wife, and my little Sis back in the shop that Sunday. He was extremely pleasant to work with and did an amazing job. He did 2 tattoos on myself and one each for my wife and my sister. When it was all said and done, the actual price paid was less than the original quote and I was very happy with that as well as the completed art work. I would highly recommend him and this shop for any work needing done as he was very patient with us and spent nearly all day there just for us. I would like to include a huge thank you to the shop for bringing Brian on-board and we all can't wait to get in and get some more work done with Brian's excellent hand at with true works of art. Thank you again. read more

Great job taking my rough, quick sketch and making it into something I love!!!

Tom is a great guy, full of info and will spend time with you to make sure the tattoo is the one you truly want. This place was recommended by a good friend and had a good experience. We have more ideas and will be coming back to work with Tom. read more

Got my tattoo at this location. The artist kept going outside for smoke breaks and the final result ended up only 60% of what I wanted. I brought the image of the tattoo printed in the exact size that I wanted, but the tattoo ended up looking different than the image. Tattoos are forever... read more

I just got my first tattoo at this place 4 days ago, im adding the phoyo on here in second (mariners compass), extraordinary design that blew my mind. Was perfect snd turned out 10x better than I imagined. Planning on going back if I can. I live 1 1/2 hours away, makes it hard with my busy schedule. Worth the money also just fyi. Ask for mikey vella! read more

Tattoo Evolution - Done by TOM - Tattoo Near Me - Everett, Washington

I have two tattoos from here, and I guess I just got lucky with the first. Other tattoo artists that have looked at my second one have told me it looks like it was done with a bowed needle - and Tattoo Evolution isn't even close to these other artists in distance, they have no reason to say that for competitive reasons. In other words it was used so many times previously it's curved and tore my skin out each time it pulled out. I've never been in so much pain in my life, I have a quarter of my right arm done and fell asleep during that 5 hour session at another place, but wanted to scream during this terrible experience at Tattoo Evolution. The tattoo looks like shit, and it did from day 1 it has nothing to do with my care of it. It's missing shading all over the place, crooked, yuck. Luckily it can be fixed, but needless to say, knowing it was a bowed needle was disgusting. Thank God I didn't get anything. I have a lot of friends who also have gotten horrible tattoos here. They're cheap as hell though, but there's a reason. If you go here for any work, good luck! read more

Thanks guys for addressing an issue that came up.

This place is by far the worst place to get a tattoo. The tattooers (not artists) are inexperienced and produce terrible work. I got my second tattoo here and the tattoo looks like shit. Spacing is bad and the shading is god awful. I went to a very reputable place in Seattle to get it fixed and to get another tattoo. Let's put it this way.. The new tat makes the one done by Tattoo Evolution look like dog shit... Almost to the point I want it removed. In conclusion, DO NOT GO HERE FOR A TATTOO!!!! read more

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this place is terrible!!! they f*cked up my tattoo, my bf's tattoo and 4 of my other friend's tattoo's.. i swear it's like they're on drugs when they ink you up and shit. omg i regret ever going there, if only i had known how horrible they were in advance. i only found out how bad tattoo evolution was a few days after i got my tattoo from them. i would never suggest this parlor unless you wanna f*cked up permanent ink on your body. other than that, they had... actually let me rephrase that, they "have" terrible customer service and the owner of the parlor doesn't give a shit if you were to complain. wtf!! on a scale from 0-10; they're a -1. fyi; that bad!!! read more
