This place is great! I came in and showed them pictures of what I was envisioning and then made a couple additional changes. The appointment was set for the following day and when I arrived, Jeremy had created the design perfectly. I was in and out within an hour and thought the price was reasonable. Definitely recommend this place for your next tattoo. read more

Bulldog Tattoo Parlor - Tattoo Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Took me months to decide on a font. Looked up reviews for a shop nearby and this one stuck out. Went to their shop just to get a quote and schedule an appt. Place was busy. 5 artists doing clients. One artist on standby, Tex. Came right to the counter. Showed him the simple tat I wanted. Without hesitation he quoted me a price that I was really happy with. Sat for 5 minutes while he worked on the sketch. Again, I was pleased with it and off to work. Did not take long. I was really surprised at how quick I was in & out. Granted it is a simple tattoo (straight and forward, nothing fancy, black). How I like my tats. Will go here again or recommend. read more

I wouldn't recommend everyone, I would recommend Ehren, he was a phenomenal artist, he was super nice and genuinely a joy to work with, I ended up going back and Ehren was busy, so I ended up going with Jeremy. He ended up quoting me 350 for 3 flash tattoos then I added one more smaller tattoo. He ended saying it was $600. Which I will post all screenshots but obviously they are covered right now. In no way is it $600 worth of tattoos. I am extremely disappointed because after my experience with Ehren I thought I found my new tattoo place. Then Jermey said it was $150 per tattoo even though it took less than 2 hours and all tattoos were not difficult or super detailed. The coffee cup was just the cup with the hearts. A super big let down. I loved the tattoos but did not love the incredibly pricey up charge. read more

This was my first tattoo, and I was very very nervous. Not only was this a new experience that I had no real bearing for, but even in other settings, I'm not the best communicator. I do my best, but it's always been difficult. I had a nice idea of what I wanted, but I wasn't sure on the style. How real should it look? What about posing? I ended up getting a quick consult with Tory, and had an appointment set up for when i happened to be taking some time off from work. I did altogether WAY too much research to prepare, and I walked in super nervous. Honestly, I don't even remember what I talked about. I just. Talked. Tory was super patient with me and she put me at ease almost immediately. I could tell she knew her stuff and that she would take care of me. Service and communication at this establishment is TOP notch. I'm a weird guy. But i TRY. That was actually what my tattoo was all about! Everyone there was very friendly and they were open to sharing about their craft, and I was just very comfortable. The art was amazing. I LOVE my piece. I let her have a lot of control over what the tattoo ultimately ended up becoming, and I'm so happy I did. Her sketch itself was amazing, but to see it on my body? I'm not sure I showed it, but it meant a lot to me. This is art that I'd be proud to show everyone and anyone. And finally, the cost. It was incredibly manageable. Infact, I feel like my tattoo is worth more than I paid. I debated coming back and offering more, but felt that it would be an odd thing to do. So instead, I decided to recommend the artist AND the shop to my family and friends, and I myself plan on coming back to have work done by Tory AND the folks at Bulldog again as many times as they will have me. Thank you all for bringing me into the tattoo world. Thank you for being patient with me, and thank you for the AWESOME work. There are lots of options in the Olympia area. I know this from my own research, but let me tell you. I REALLY hope you give Bulldog a try. Thanks. read more

Great people and spacious atmosphere. The artists are also really good. It's a little pricy tho but the quality is worth it

Sweet! Called in to make an appointment for the following day and ended up getting tatted the same day. Really chill spot.

Bulldog Tattoo Parlor - Chest tattoo. - Tattoo Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Robin is a great color tattoo artist and also considerate and professional. He took my pinterest pictures and created this lovely design, after redoing it to include the maple leaves I wanted instead of the waves. This added an extra 30 min onto his working time, which he didn't charge me extra for. This beautiful color piece was $300, plus the tip I added. He also did a Phoenix for me on Monday (tiger on Friday), which is healing well. Love his work and recommend him. Would come back in the future for shoulder blade tattoos from him. read more

I walked in to see if someone had time available and Aaron was just finishing up and would be free shortly. I showed him a pic of what I wanted and where, we talked about colors, and he drew it up and offered his advice on placement. I went with his recommendation and am so glad, the half butterfly on my bicep looks so good! Totally matches what else I've got on the outside of my arm while leaving the whole inside free if I want to do something there. Shop was clean, everyone was cool, and Aaron was so nice! It was a great experience and I will be back soon. read more

I was very please with my Tattoo Artist Zach he did a great job on my work. I highly recommend him read more

I walked in during business hours to see about covering up a small part of an old tattoo (ex's name). Kasper comes over and whips out his markers and came up with something within minutes! Even got an appointment within two days to do the actual work! Kasper is a genius and the new cover up exceeded my expectations!!! Super love my new tat. I want more tattoos from him now. He's totally awesome to talk with the whole time too. Recommend this place 100%. read more

I like this shop. Walk in's all day and the guys seem like a good group of people. Front desk was awesome and had pretty stellar customer service while waiting. Downside with the walk in is that I had to wait upwards of 3 hours before I was actually seated in the chair (which could be my fault too for coming in on a weekend). Which is fine, but I prefer having the option of getting an appointment instead. I would also like being able to talk to the artist regarding the sketch/idea, instead of having to go through only the receptionist and getting things relayed to the artist. This might be because they were busy and that they are a "mainly" walk in shop. Therefore the idea of communicating with an artist beforehand might be something close to impossible, as you don't know exactly who will be doing your tattoos. Anyway, Gordon did my tattoo and I like that we didn't converse much. Some may find that impersonal, but I'm fine with awkward silence. I'm quite impressed with what I got. A very nice piece indeed. Now to sound like a creeper... I googled (yeah, I went there) the what and who about the shop. And lo and behold from my searches, it said a few of the artists used to tattoo in Sacramento, where I am from. What are the odds of that happening? I just thought it was pretty cool and a nice touch to my experience with the shop. read more

I went to Bulldog for a tattoo last week for the first time. I've been to a few other shops in oly but heard good things about Bulldog so I decided to give it a try. I called ahead on a Friday asking if we could get in later that night. The friendly guy on the other end said they were more of a "walk in" shop and said we'd have to come in and they'd get us in as soon as possible. We showed up at 8 pm and waited for maybe 30-40 min for the first of us to get tattooed. We both had Aron who was friendly, professional and did a good job. He was open to design input and very helpful. The shop was clean and well maintained. I was especially impressed by how friendly the artists and front desk guy was. An older woman came in and complained about customers smoking outside and the guys were very cool about it. They apologized and later I overheard one suggesting they put a sign out front of the shop reminding people to keep 25ft while smoking. I appreciated that they were respectful about the situation. I'd say the only downfall is that the shop is in a weird spot in Lacey- in a small strip mall. But that's not something to deter you from going. It just doesn't have the "oly" feel by being out there. Still gets 4 stars from me though! read more

Bulldog Tattoo Parlor - Tattoo by Aron. Almost done healing. Looks good! - Tattoo Near Me - Olympia, Washington

At this point, this shop has done nine tattoos for me, almost all of them were different artists. Everyone there is great and knows what they're doing. Several times I've ended up paying less than the original quote because of the tattoo being faster or easier than the artist anticipated. They've also stayed open late by two hours, to tattoo a friend and I. Highly recommended for any tattoo style. If something isn't going to look good on you due to sizing, skin tone, layout, etc, they'll tell you and work with you with suggestions on how to alter the image to get around the problem. read more

Got my first tattoo here last spring and the guy was super great at making me feel comfortable. He did an awesome job on my rose and letters too! I had him redo the letters a couple times and he had no problem doing so. The only con is it was a little more expensive than what I've heard small tattoos would be. read more

Decided that I was finally ready for a tattoo that I'd wanted for awhile, and looked up the best ratings on Yelp, to find Bulldog. Gave them a call, and got a great personality that told me to come on in. Brought in a picture of what I wanted on my phone, and they had it drawn up in no time. While I was waiting, the guy at the front desk was super nice, and would chat it up randomly. The shop was so bright and clean, I had no worries about sanitation at all! Aron did my tattoo, and he was fantastic. He had a great personality, and chatted throughout so the time went really fast. I couldn't be happier with the result! I can't wait for it to heal so I can get started on the next! read more

I gave Django ideas on what I wanted for a sleeve and he put it altogether better that I could have imagined. I get sooo many compliments on his work. So sad he just recently moved out of state but I hear everyone else in the shop is amazing so I'll continue going here to do my other tattoos. Highly recommend this shop. read more

This place was great! We went in here on a whim and they gave a us a quote right there. No fuss about it, they welcomed us with a smile. We then came back later that day for our appointment. When we returned, our tattoos were sketched out. There were a couple of things a changed. They did not make a big deal about it and made the changes. While all this was happening, the guy at the front desk was keeping us company and was very funny and nice. During the tattoo sessions, we had people coming back, talking with us, it was a great time. We will definitely we back! Travis was our artist and he was wonderful. Very clean and he explained everything he was doing. I got my tattoo on my foot, which SUCKED (because of the pain) and he made sure I was okay, and asked if I needed a break. Be sure to check them out, you wont be sorry! read more

So my spouse and I were visiting our tattoo artist who was visiting from Yakima at this shop. I got to talking to Gordon while my spouse was getting worked on. He seemed very experienced and confident. I figured if our artist from Yakima was there visiting he must like him so I took a leap of faith and couldn't be happier. I love my tattoo. Gordon is very professional and personable. When I can't get to Yakima I will defiantly see Gordon again. read more

Bulldog Tattoo Parlor - Gordon lined it perfectly along my arm bone. Its complelty straight no matter which way my arm is turned. Love it! - Tattoo Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Place was clean and everyone was friendly and VERY covid-conscious, which I appreciated. T.C. did a great job finding out exactly what tattoo I wanted, and then showing me what he'd drawn up to make sure it was right. Turned out exactly as I'd hoped. T.C. even touched up an old tattoo that had faded a bit near the new one. I'm very pleased and will happily recommend this place to my friends. read more

This tattoo shop is great. All the artists working the day I was there were friendly with the clients I saw walk in the door and didn't have any of the "hollywood" attitude you might get at some shops. I had an awesome tattoo added to my collection by Gordon, and I couldn't be happier. I chose my tattoo off a sheet of flash (yeah, I'm one of those people) , but I did see clients bring in their own drawings and get them tattooed. I'm planning on going back soon for more work! read more

This would be a 5 star review, Django and another artist there did a great cover up job for me (all free hand). But I can backup Elizabeth F. story about getting the run around and loosing her money. Just to reply to their comment on her original post, yes it was Bulldog, not another shop because I recommend them to her and was there when the money was exchanged. read more

These guys here know how to take care of you. I had to get a terrible tattoo covered up and they did a GREAT job. I have been happy with everything I have gotten. DJango and they boys are amazing.

The handsome gentlemen at Bulldog have never let me down. Clean, bright shop, and great tattoos!

Thanks, T.C. for the time you spent on my small tattoo. I'll be back for a touch up on that vintage one.

My husband and I had walk in tattoos done last night and after going through portfolios of the artists there at the time... we decided we liked the work done by Steven and requested him to do our work. It was my husband's second ever tattoo, but my first. Steven was awesome through the whole process, and the tattoos he did for us were amazing. They are currently still healing as they were just done last night... but they are perfect. If I can, I will throw a picture up of them in the comments. Spending a few hours there we got to see a little of how the artists and staff were... they all seemed great... My husband and I will be sure to come back to Bulldog for our future tattoos, specifically to see Steven =) read more

Bulldog Tattoo Parlor - Done by Steven 9/1/16. He was amazing and the tattoos are perfect! - Tattoo Near Me - Olympia, Washington

My experience with Bulldog tattoo was perfect. The place was very clean and organized. The artist was great at taking my idea and improving on it! This was my first tattoo and I thought I knew what I wanted as far as where and what size. I wanted it right below my ankle bone on the inside so it would have been pretty small. The artist gave me some feedback and thought that I would not be happy with the detail so small and in that area the results can be not so great. He talked me into above my ankle instead and much bigger. I am so happy he did. The detail and size are perfect! My mom and I got matching tattoos that day done by different artists and they are so alike, yet so different too.....Perfect for us. The whole process was easy and I felt the price was good too.... although I didn't really have anything to compare to. Would definitely recommend to others and go back again myself as well. read more
