Fantastic. Absolute professional quality and skill. The place is so damn clean it practically glows. I have been tattooed at most shops in this town over the years and this is the only one I will definitely return to. The skill and kind demeanor of the artists is surprising and really appreciated. They are happy to talk out what you want, what will work and how to do it~ they WANT to give you exactly what you want. They aren't hipster assholes trying to impress each other by being the biggest jerk to their customers. They are nice REALLY skilled artists that want to do a good job. AND they didn't break my pocketbook! All in all~ a perfect shop. and they aren't jerks! read more

I recently got my 2nd tattoo that I've been dreaming up for over a year. I sent Chad 2 images that I wanted merged and by the time I showed up he had the most perfect drawing, properly sized, stencil ready and I'm so happy with the end result. Lines are so clean and healing went as smooth as possible. read more

This is my second time getting a tattoo from Anthony, and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. He was very open to any ideas I had around the design and put together something awesome in the end. This was one of the more painful tattoos for me, but he was very patient with me. He always checked up on me to see if I was okay and let me take breaks as often as I needed them. I will definitely be back to continue my Demon Slayer leg sleeve! I got this tattoo at their booth during the Iron Circus Tattoo Expo in Auburn. Everyone was super chill and the vibes were great. Everyone at the shop is super talented so rest assured you'll be in great hands regardless of which artist you go with! read more

I got my very first tattoo from Jesse and this is what he did for me. I love it! He was super nice to me and was nice to me about all the questions I had since I was nervous. The apprentice (I didn't catch her name, unfortunately) was super nice too about answering the questions I had after everything was finished. Side note- I really liked the car they had in the middle of the shop! read more

Aces Eights Tattoo - "Self love tat" - Tattoo Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

This happened in 2018 but still bothers me. My brother-in-law recommended me to come here since he has a pretty solid relationship with his artist. I found her through her Instagram and came in to make a deposit. But while I was waiting one of her co-workers started to talk with me, and while it was veiled as small talk it was quite hostile. It was like he was questioning my sincerity in wanting a tattoo or even my taste. I didn't understand why it was happening or what I had done. I was as polite as I could be and hoped I was mistaken. It lasted like the whole 20 minutes I was waiting, and I couldn't handle it anymore so I left. There was no way I wanted to sit in that shop for hours getting a tattoo with that guy throwing shade at me from his chair. So I went somewhere else. read more

Ali is amazing still and I love my sleeve with a passion and I always refer ali ! It's hard to find a tattoo shop that works with you to get what you want but this place always exceeds in my eyes read more

Really can't say enough wonderful things about this shop. Everyone's professional, yet laid back. The shop is clean, and the artists are talented.

The whole crew is amazing. Very satisfied with the level of work done here. The line work is impeccable. The team is very professional. I read some of the other reviews that were low and all that stuff is totally untrue. The team there is probably the most professional and fast in the area. I would recommend seeing Chad or Ross. read more

First tattoo experience, I checked out several shops before settling on Aces and Eights. My biggest concern was that the parlor be clean, and A&E was spotless. All of the staff was helpful and the place had a great atmosphere, fun artists and classic rock playing. I felt so welcomed that I decided to get the tattoo right then, which they accommodated. Ali sat down with me and worked out every detail until I was happy with it, and made sure she had it positioned perfectly before beginning. She did a fantastic job and for a fair price. One week later and it looks great, no issues. Will be returning and highly recommended. read more

Aces Eights Tattoo - Matthew 7:25 by Ali - Tattoo Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Came in with a friend to get a couple of simple and small tattoos. The guy (unnamed because he didn't even introduce himself) was immediately judgmental of our tattoo choices and kept asking us why we'd get them. When my friend was asking about what the price would look like for a simple script tattoo he copped an attitude and told her outright that her wanting it in old English was dumb because you 'can't even read it.' We left. If you wanted to feel antagonized and judged come to Aces & Eights, ask for the guy with no hair. read more

Love this place!!!!! My daughter and I went in as a walk in. Very nice, clean shop. Fun, friendly service. Loved our tattoo artist .... Ross, True artist took a simple idea and made it beautiful and truly unique. Go to this shop and u will receive wonderful art work. read more

Worst tattoo experiance the guys talk to me like I was a whore. Very rude and unprofessional. My tattoo looks like a 2 year old drew it. The guy started drinking and I asked him why he said shutup bitch. Will never go back. They are all just a BIG JOKE! read more

Rudest most unprofessional attitude ever. Walked in to see if they had availability qss told no but to avoid swapmeet and mall like we looked like the kind of people who would go there. read more

Not a bad place to get a tattoo for a decent price even though I didn't get tattooed there I was just there for moral support for a friend but ever since the artist started to take shots of Jameson and drinking beer I'm never getting a tattoo there! read more

They started a tattoo on me and said to come back when it healed. Since than it was impossible to get a day back. I have called and left messages numerous times but have yet to get a call back. I will be having someone else finish it. read more

I first found this place last summer upon chance. I yelped it and I saw that this shop had great reviews. Went in with my friends and decided I wanted a small tattoo. My artist was Ross. He did excellent work on the tat of my choice. Fast forward to this year, recently, I decided to get a cover-up tat and change it. Of course, I went back to Ross as I believe one should allow the original artist to work on their art. The best decision ever!!! Ross covered my old tattoo with a peacock feather I wanted. He designed the feather to how he felt would look great against my body and the location of where it is. He really is brilliant. The shading, the color.... everything is pristine!! He definitely takes his time as every artist should, so that you know that he is taking great care and has very good attention towards what he is doing. After all, once it's on, it's on. This took place just last week, but the tat is healing very nicely and you can't even see the old tattoo underneath which from my understanding is hard to do unless the artist knows exactly what they're doing; which, Ross definitely does!!! Hands down, the best shop and artist, by far!! :) Go there and set up an appointment with Ross! You will not be disappointed! Trust me. read more

They are a completely custom shop that offers a wide variety of tattoo styles the place is very clean and friendly it might be a small shop but don't be fooled Ross and chad are amazing tattoo artist, I had black and grey realism tattoo done and every time I show it off people ask who my artist is read more

I was just recently tattooed here by joey. His work was amazing however he smelled like a long night of drinking which made me nervous to get tattooed by him in the first place but me being impatient i did it anyways he was extremely rude and absolutely reeked of old liquor. By reading this other review sounds like its not just me. Other than that the place was clean and the work was great but the vibe sucked. i will not be returning. Id rather ask my alcoholic dad to tattoo me. read more
