Had multiple piercings done here for myself and my daughter. This is the best place to get a piercing in Washington. The owner keeps everything very clean. Highly recommend! read more

I debated leaving this review because I genuinely want to support small businesses, and I believe in "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." But I also think honest experiences help both future customers and the business itself, so I'll simply share what happened and let others make their own decision. I arrived shortly after their posted opening time, only to find a note saying they'd be back later. When I called, I learned the piercer wouldn't arrive until 1pm due to a personal commitment. I gave grace and returned. The piercing itself was quick, with some small talk about Seattle, and I mentioned that I hadn't been pierced in 20+ years due to keloiding, so I was nervous and wanted to make sure things were done carefully. I paid, received a basic aftercare sheet, and headed home. Later that evening, the front of my flat-back earring fell out and the back was hanging loosely. I eventually managed to get the flat back post in the front just to keep the piercing from closing and I called about 8p after closing and left a message for guidance but never received a call back. A different piercer at a jewelry shop explained that flat-back earrings require a slight bend in the post for tension -- something that hadn't been done. It was an easy fix, but disappointing that it was missed, especially since piercings need weeks to heal. There's clearly a lot of history behind this business, but my experience didn't reflect the level of professionalism and follow-up I expected for a $100 service. I personally prefer to go somewhere with more consistency in both technique and aftercare communication. read more

I've gotten about four piercings from Absolute Ink (eyebrow, nose, tongue, and helix) and it never disappoints, and I go with my friends and family and it's always been a great experience and we all leave happy and satisfied. The vibe is very chill and it's always a quick in and out with an amazing piercing, and great pricing! Artist is a pro freehand piercer. 10/10 recommend. I don't trust a lot of places, but i'll continue coming back here and recommending it to everyone !! The first time I came here I was getting the other side of my nose pierced ( I had already had one side of my nose done by another artist years before) and he nailed the placement which was a worry of mine of them not being even. I also was really was nervous about my eyebrow and the method of it being pierced. I've seen places on the internet use clamps which can cause bruising, and places point the needle down and that's just scary, and he did neither and I left very happy and it was my least painful piercing yet and super quick!! read more

The work is alright. But the dude has attitude for no reason. Have nothing more to say.

I love this place! He has been my piercer for 6 years now, I've gotten all types of piercings over the years like my tongue, septum, Ashley, eyebrow, nose (multiple times) nipples, all types of ear piercings and they have all healed perfectly!! And they're very cheap! Definitely recommend. read more

I tried to put earrings in today only to find one of my lobe piercings had partially closed up. After trying to push the stud through myself I knew it was no use, and sought professional help. The gentleman at Absolute Ink was happy to take a look and see how closed it was. After a quick assessment he was able to re-pierce it, no problem. Five minutes after walking in I had my issue resolved and had a new stud in my ear. I'll definitely go back to Absolute Ink for any future piercings. *He did ask if I had brought the jewelry with me, so if there's a particular piece you're trying to get through, try to remember to bring it with you. If you don't (I didn't), don't worry, they have lots of jewelry to choose from and it was not wickedly expensive. read more

Have gotten 3+ piercings here and all have been great and quick heal time. Piercings were septum, double lobes, rear helix.

I've now had two piercings done by Letter. He did my tragus a couple years ago, and recently my rook. Everything is clean, he's quick, polite. All good things! read more

Complete negligence, that's all I have to say. Letter completely ruined my experience of getting a piercing for the first time. He didn't listen to me about the size of the bars I needed. He then pierced my friend and told us he would give us instructions at the same time. Which he proceeded to do. Completely unsatisfied The vibe was weird and they made me feel rushed and unimportant. read more

Letter was great! Brought my teen in and we both got pierced (industrial & conch). Super nice, efficient, clean space, and quick. Great prices too! read more

I got my Tounge and Anti brow done. Letter was so smooth and did an amazing job. I've had my tounge done wrong 2 times before I found this place. I even let my daughter get her first peircing done with me she got her eye brow and she was so happy with the result and how easy and smooth it was. 10/10 I highly recommend getting peircings done by Letter. will definitely be back for more. read more

Letter was my piercer and he was absolutely great. I've had my septum pierced twice before and this third time was the easiest and smoothest it's ever been. He was very nice and accommodating. Prices were cheap too. read more

Just got snake bites and I couldn't be happier. Didn't even realize he did it until he was done and screwing the balls on them. If I need anymore piercings I'll be back. read more

Great experience! My daughter got her nose and her ears pierced. He was super patient and accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

My daughter had her nose pierced here, the piercer is fast, sanitary and thorough. Would recommend to anyone.

I walked in for a septum piercing. I really don't want to say anything bad about the piercer but there were quite a few red flags that make hind sight 2020. The piercer, Letter, asked me if I was there for a nose piercing, I said yes. Then he handed me a form to sign. I completed it, turned it over on the counter then waited my turn. When he was ready for me, he didn't ask for my name or ID and didn't look at the paper I filled out. I am who I say I am but I thought that's little weird. I explained right off the bat that I've had a septum piercing before but it closed and one side healed with more scar tissue. And that I was worried if it would be okay or crooked. He looked at it and said it should be fine. It appeared he used sterile jewelry. He wore gloves. But he brought the needle to my nose without sanitizing my nostrils and deadass just started piercing it. I had to queue myself to take a deep breath and boy was it rough. I do have scar tissue so I expected a little more pain but eek. And then he told me it is a little higher on one side. Hands me the mirror and it was crazy how crooked it was. No clamps were used. Now, this is the part where I wouldn't say it is entirely his fault but I am disappointed. He didn't charge me as I had decided to take it out. He offered to pierce it again but I didn't feel comfortable with that. So I mean, I won't be back and I'm appreciative for his service but it was a disappointing experience nonetheless. I'm giving the rating I am because I didn't feel the service was as clean or communicative as it should have been. Also they are allowing support people in the room with you. read more

Headed here on a whim and wanted to commemorate my first trip to the PNW with a new piercing. Letter, male piercer, was really chill and accomodating. He had two customers before me and the wait wasn't long. He really knows his stuff. He saw that I had previously had my rook pierced and simply re-pierced it. It was pretty painless and quick. It is healing well with no irritation or discomfort. Definitely will check out this salon again when I'm in town. A many thanks to Letter and the gang at Absolute Ink for being professional and welcoming. read more

This was a friend and I's first visit to Absolute Ink. We were excited to try out their 25$ all piercing deal. Our visit was fast! We were quickly helped, signed paperwork and went right into our piercings! The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of the establishment. It was very clean and quiet. Their team seems pretty chill. Letter is your guy for piercings. He had correct sterilization and items for this impulsive decision of ours. He took a picture of our piercings, which I thought was pretty cool. There are also helpful directions given to you after payment on how to keep your piercings cleaned for the healing process. The pricing here is 100% better than any place (not unless you want to be overcharged at a mall). I'm for sure coming back these upcoming weeks for more piercings. Thanks Letter!! read more

Got my nose piercing here 3 years ago for an amazing affordable price! The person who piercing my nose also let me place where I wanted my nose piercing so that was awesome instead of having it somewhere I wouldn't! It's fully healed and still looks great and I'm planning on getting my belly piercing done there soon! read more

I've gone here for my last 3 piercings and have had zero problems. Every time I've gone has been on a whim, and the process has been clean, quick, and easy every time. read more

was very comforting to know that this tattoo/piercing shop is black own and operated. i can't believe i found out about it so late but glad i did while i'm still interested in several different piercings/tattoos. they have great prices and walk-ins are welcome! my first visit here was on a thursday afternoon, it wasn't too busy but it seems like this shop is a hot spot especially for walk ins, but the piercers get people in & our pretty quickly. i had gotten a small tattoo on my arm during my first visit; and during the second visit i got my belly button pierced! in love with both new additions to my body and happy that they are reasonably priced. the atmosphere is great too, great wall art & murals, lots of black history facts floating around, r&b, hip-hop music playing!! a fish tank & tattoo inspo all around. i will be coming back here for more piercings and tattoos!! 10/10 would recommend! --support black owned businesses!! read more

Ok so I got my nose and tragus done here at absolute. The guy who did my piercings did a good job the process was quick and he made the piercings symmetrical. But the only negative thing I have to say is the quality of the jewelry you get following the piercings. I didn't have any issues with the tragus jewelry because it's twist on but the nose jewelry that is put in after you get pierced is garbage. It's just a push on pull off type of deal and that did not work so well for me. After the day I had my nose pierced I had to go in an additional 2 times to buy new nose jewelry. Just recently I had woke up and noticed that my stud had fallen out while I was sleeping. By the time I tried putting it back in my nose hole had already closed up. This was my 2nd nose piercing 1st one at absolute. The first place I went to in Colorado for my first nose piercing put in a twist on front nose stud for the healing process and it didn't fall out once during the whole 6 month process. It would be nice if this shop started doing that! read more

I went back today to get my triple ear lobe pierced on both ears. I was really excited and couldn't have been happier with how it went. The experience was simple, minimal pain, and easy. So far my piercings aren't hurting much, one ear is bleeding more but I'm sure they will heal healthily. I got good advice about how to clean my piercings and am excited to return to get matching piercings with my friend next time! read more

Yesterday was my first time coming here, which both of these were actually walk-ins (so yay!). I came when they first opened and then a few hours later; maybe call - although I can't promise I would take my own advice. It does get busy around the evening time from what I seen, so maybe try around the time they open. The tattoo artists here are not afraid to hold conversations, they have a great sense of humor, great customer service, their areas are clean, great taste in music; an overall great experience. The artist who did my tattoos last night was Penz and the rose he did for my moms name, was actually a freehand by him that was on his board from time ago. I absolutely love it! Definitely coming back sooner than later and definitely recommend this place for sure read more

First of all, this is a tattoo shop, not a spa. No one is going to bend over backwards to make you feel welcome, that's not the vibe here so adjust your expectations. That said, the guys are chill and they are welcoming. It's a laid back place, but these guys know their craft. Penz is great, helped me feel really at ease and was patient when my initial explanation of my tattoo wasn't detailed enough. Ended up only finishing part and will be going back later, not bc the tattooing was bad but because Pen is an artist, and is particular about getting it right! Looking forward to being back in August... or sooner for piercing. Went back a year later, same experience. Penz is really great. Letter runs a good shop. read more

Letter is my hero! My tragus piercing had become very painful and I needed a professional. I had my tragus pierced at another location, and called ahead to make sure Absolute Ink would take me. Letter was kind enough to take a look at it for me. He was gentle and not judgmental. I was embarrassed and in pain, but he helped me in my time of need. Letter took such great care of me. I'm so happy to have found Absolute Ink. The service was fantastic! read more

I came in looking for piercing spray, and they gave me one which they said to "open and test". It was fine and when I went to pay I found out it was $16 dollars (which is a ridiculous overcharge, the same brand is $7-8 online or at other stores). I said I wasn't interested in buying it because of the price and the cashier said I had to buy it because I opened it. After telling me to open it to test. Thanks for scamming me. Never coming back here again! read more

$25 dollar piercings I would not go elsewhere! I have been here and had multiple different services from them, both piercings and tattoos. Really easy to find and sits right on the corner. The owner is super chill and has done all my piercings which usually and really fast and painless. He seems really knowledgeable about what you can expect, how long it may take to heal, and how to care for your piercings. I felt very confident in my aftercare because he explained it so thoroughly to me. His prices are lower than alot of other shops, I have never understood why these other tattoo shops are charging $50-$60 for a simple 5 second piercing. Shrugs! i believe i called around and got quoted $55-60 for a nose piercing and marilyn monroe piercing. I believe i only paid $25 for my marilyn monroe piercing, that included the jewelry. I also had several tats done here, penz did one for me that turned out great, he is amazing and very talented- i will go back to see him the next time. Overall, i had a great experience and will return for my tat and piercing needs. Minimal wait time and cool down to earth staff. read more

Well it was our first experience. My daughter wanted to get a ( helix??) piercing,She decided on 2 actually. Walked in and was immediately asked to sanitize my hands ++. Then the piercer comes out to check ID. We don't have the same last name so I was asked to bring in her birth certificate. +++ We live relatively close so I was able to get back in like 10 mins. I truly respect the rules being followed. Thanks Absolute Ink. Definitely recommend their services. The place was very busy and we were given time to recover after my daughter felt woozy upon standing up. We'll be back when she wants more piercings read more

Came in here at random to get another piercing in my ear lobes. There was no wait, signed some papers and got seen right away. Zavier was friendly, quick and efficient. And the price was right. Pretty quick and painless experience. read more

I live near White Center and decided to get my nose pierced. First stop I was completely ignored for ten minutes as I stood by the entrance. Second stop I was told "No shop on the west side does piercing. You need to go to Capitol Hill." Found Absolute Ink on Google and decided to give it a shot. It was pretty straight-forward and chill. The piercer was out when I got there, so I went and grabbed some dinner and came back. He returned pretty soon after that, and he came in with two cutie little Boston Terriers so that's a plus. Everything after that went quick and now I have a nice nose piercing! He made sure I knew how to care for it and I was on my way. Plus it was super affordable. Good spot, check it out! read more

I got my nose piercing here today and I love it so much! Place was real cozy and clean. I went around 4pm, there was no wait and my visit was very quick! My total came to be around $38.50 due to the stud I chose which is super cute. Would love to get tatted here soon!!! read more

Thank you Letter for helping my friend and I! Everything was clean and answered all of our questions. Thanks again!

I heard about this place from a friend who said she got all her piercings here for $25. I've been wanting a couple new piercings and thought I would give it a shot. First of all, one thing I look for in any place is cleanliness and customer service. Don't let the outside fool you. This place was clean, all tools and piercings were sterilized, and the piercer was nice enough to let me look over the markings and tell me the aftercare. Experience: I went to get my navel pierced (belly) and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. There was about a 30 minute wait time. Luckily, you're able to wait in your car and they'll come out and get you. Filled out the usual paperwork and went straight back to the room. Even though the piercings are $25, you still get an option for jewelry which can be an additional $5-$15. Piercing happened quick and I chose the jewelry that was an extra $10 (white gem). Went outside to pay and my total came out to $38. They take card and cash. Overall: will be coming back to get my third holes on my lobe. Navel piercing was a 5/10 for pain. So far, no problems with the piercing, just a bit of soreness when I twist and turn. read more

These guys are pros, able to take the time to do a great job for me even though the place was pretty busy. Their fish tank is beautiful, something to look at while you wait. read more
