I recently completed a sorta-midlife-crisis item and got my ears pierced. The piercer was very kind and even allowed my kids to check it out while it was being done. I had to go back a couple of times for help with my right ear that was giving me some issues when healing and another piercer was incredibly helpful and even refilled my cleaning solution. Service at a tattoo or piercing shop seems like a really odd thing, but this place excels at it. Highly recommended. read more

The owner is racist, i parked in the parking lot basically looking over his pictures on yelp, i had considered another shop so when i got to echo it was closed, he basically sat in his car next to me got out and asked what was i doing there said i had to leave told me i wasnt a customer the parking did not say privately owned or anything so i dont see the problem , he barked and bragged that hes the owner, i just told him i was no longer interested and left smh read more

It looks a little sketchy on the outside but it's nice and clean inside. Everyone there was so nice and I walked in and they were able to see me and do my tattoo in no time. They were super understanding cause I'm annoying about things that will be on my body forever so I really appreciated it. Would go back again. read more

Echo Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

This is a late review of an experience in early October 2020. I really wanted to post a positive review of me & my other half's experience here, but it just didn't pan out properly at all. We both came here last minute (yes, I know last minute tats are a bad idea) to get simple star tattoos to commemorate our first trip together. Obviously did not go as planned. I will give the parlor credit for taking us in as basically walk-ins during a time when walk-ins are typically not allowed. My experience with our artist was decent. I did find it a little off-putting that she seemed distracted a bit while tattooing (talking to her coworker, discussing coffee and lunch with them, focusing more on the small talk with me), but I can say that my other half got it worse. She had a full convo about what she wanted for lunch, and made enough of a deal about it that he get she was overly-distracted by it. He also felt very uncomfortable as the artist pushed him to discuss identity politics - not a suitable topic of conversation for us - and straight out said "I hate white men" to him, who is a white male. Regardless of where you stand on the racial or social issues spectrum, the entirety of that interaction is professionally unacceptable. Flash forward to present day, and we're both in the process of getting our tattoos removed. It was supposed to be a simple, linework-only compass star with some stippling toward the center. Holy BLOWOUT. Both of our tattoos ended up looking like an abstract snowflake drawn by a 5th grader. No joke, the quality is comparable to that of an 11 year old's "Super S" notebook drawing. Our takeaway from this is to take the time to research who you want to do your tattoos, no matter how small or simple the request may be. read more

I just finished getting my second tattoo from Echo and had my second great experience. The artist that did my first piece is no longer there, but i have met Clayton before and was happy to work with him this time. Clayton has such a great personality and just puts you right at ease from start to finish. He did a perfect job on a simple but sentimental piece for me. It's so clear that he has a lot of respect for his trade and treats it truly as an artform. The shop is clean, and everyone is both professional and casual at the same time. I'll be making an appointment soon to have my first tattoo touched up and for additional pieces. read more

Beautiful work done and extremely kind service, Clayton did amazing work and designed a gorgeous tattoo. The amount of time he put into making the piece unique and exactly what I wanted was incredible. I had previously gone to a place for a tattoo where they just printed a picture online and traced it, needless to say I was shocked about the amount of effort and artistry that went into this. I will definitely be coming back here. I would definitely say come here instead of some other shops that have more reviews or are more famous in Seattle. read more

Very clean place, quick and great work, and awesome service! Definitely coming back for my next piece!

Me and My Best friend came here spur of the moment for our first tattoos, we had an idea/photo for reference and it was executed perfectly! My friend was tattooed by a woman with purple hair (unsure of your name I'm sorry) she was so sweet and did an awesome job on his tattoo, my tattoo was done by a guy named Reuben, hilarious, awesome genuine dude. The tattoos were super reasonably priced unlike the $150 minimums in the city/Capitol Hill area, I paid $80 for my tattoo in total. Both of these artists gave us great feedback on our placement and designs and helped us choose/understand the process of getting a tattoo! Thank you so much, we couldn't thank the both of you enough!! read more

Absolutely incredible experience here. From the moment I called to make an appointment for my piercings, Clayton was very informative and easy to talk to. I had three piercings done, my rook and a double helix. He walked me through the process and made sure I was comfortable. Told me what to expect, and did an excellent job. He triple checked that the locations where exactly what I wanted before he started. The whole process was efficient and professional, but fun and laid back. They turned out exactly how I wanted them to, and I'll definitely be going back for any future piercings I want. HIGHLY recommend Echo! :D read more

Echo Tattoo - Double helix and rook piercings - Tattoo Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Got my first tattoo from echo today. Neil did my tattoo and was great. I was going to slave to the needle and they were getting too expensive, so I decided to try them out. They're cheap for amazing work. Neil hand drew the tattoo and got to work fast. He took my idea I had and made it look better than I could even imagine. They're clean and friendly. Plus I found out they had a fundraiser to help kids with cleft palate and raised 1500 for those kids. Makes me like them even more. A+ work for good prices. Updated: Ive been going to see Neil now for a few years. He's the only one who does my tattoos now. He's done 5 of my 6 tattoos including my half sleeve. He continues to amaze me with his great work. read more

IF I COULD GIVE IT 6 STARS I WOULD. Neil Mydske is a genius with a tattoo machine. I always look forward to getting stuff done and having memrable conversations with Neil. He is an artist that cares what you have to say. I will only have Neil or places he recommends do my tattoos. read more

I had an absolutely exceptional experience here, which, given that I made no appointment and came in on a Friday night, I didn't even really deserve. Clayton was super friendly and helpful, took the time to make sure we got the font on my simple word tattoo perfect, and did excellent work with perfect clean lines. I've been to a lot of tattoo shops, and I was deeply impressed with everything I saw here. read more

Neil & Clayton are both fantastic! Being on Aurora, I was skeptical but the location is great! It's very clean & they're friendly.

I was very satisfied with the detail put into my tattoo & the excellent line work that my tattoos have. Overall, very satisfied with this tattoo shop. :) read more

At first I thought this tattoo shop was a good place but looks aren't always what they seem. I went to get a memorial tattoo done for my mom my tat was done by Ruben we went over the drawing and for the lining , detail, color my moms name and dates i was quoted 400$ he even said " does 400 work for you for this tattoo " I said yes thats perfect I can work with that he said ok.. A couple of days later july 10th 2020 we did the tattoo it was the lining and detail first no color yet started at about 530pm ended at about 10pm.. I gave him my card he confirmed with me " 400 right?" I said yep 400 and as he was running my card he said " it'll be 451.00 the 51 is for service fees and charges which I thought was strange but ok. Then he said " the next time you come in so we can finish the tattoo the ONLY thing you will need to pay is the TIP thats it.. U know when your running someone's card its pretty rude to mention your tip just alittle ignorant. So 2wks goes by i call to book my next appointment to finish my tat we schedule for the following wk so 3 wks after I started was when I was supposed to have this finished or so I thought. I went back for my final session ( color name dates) Ruben says to me so I'm not trying to get more money out of you but.. How much are you willing to pay today I won't charge another 400 but I need to do at least 200 And I was like well wait a minute we agreed on 400 for to the entire tattoo and you said when I come in next time all I need to pay is the tip and thats the only money I have on me is for the tip!! Well... We charge 120 an HR blah blah blah and I was like but you didnt say it'll be 400 for today's.work you said 400 for the tattoo your words not mine!! And he looks at me with this dumbshit look and says " did I really say that" like really dude OMG!!!! Then says to himself " Man Ruben your slippin" ... So I call the next day to speak with the owner Clayton to complain he said he would get it figured out then call me back in a hr or so but he NEVER DID I called back and said this is how you treat customers I was so pissed and he had the nerve to be an ass an say " you need to calm down" in a very demanding tone.. This whole experience has been horrible I feel disrespected I feel my moms memorial was disrespected and i was taken advantage off they do not know how to run a tattoo shop and I do not recommend going here. I mean Ruben even had the nerve to point out the mistakes he made in my tattoo ... This shop gets a major thumbs down. Not to mention this situation caused me major anxiety to were I ended up in the ER on an ekg machine ( heart machine) thats how stressed out I got. read more

Had my first tattoo with Neil two weeks ago and it was awesome. Emailed him what i had in mind and when the time came it was ready and got on with it in no time. I can't wait to go back for my second one. Thanks Neil!!! read more

My daughter and I have wanted to get matching ink since before she turned 18. She's now 20. It's taken awhile...Coming up with the prefect design idea was one of the challenges for us but we finally came up with one and went in search of an artist who could make it happen. We found Lisa. She took my very crude sketch and basic idea and immediately created exactly what we had in mind. It was awesome! She was able to take us right away and we are thrilled with her work. She was a total sweetheart and we enjoyed not only her work but the pleasure of her company as well. And... I didn't even pass out this time (yeah... needle phobias are an embarrassing pain). Plus we got to grab a treat from her candy jar aftetwards. Absolutely recommend and can't wait to go back for our next ones. Maybe I'll even drag my ink-virgin boyfriend in to get his first. Thank you, Lisa, for the most pleasant (7 times under needle) tattoo experience I've ever had! read more

I come all the way out to the shop to quickly grab a belly button piercing at 11:00pm (mine fell out) and the employees were outside smoking, saying they wouldn't sell me anything because they closed up shop early, repeatedly exclaiming "sorry it just happens that way sometimes". Why do you say your open till 12am? Bad business. read more

called in advance and email my tattoo over. when i got there everything was pretty much ready to sit down and get the tattoo done. i just had a basic tribal tattoo done but like always lots of fill. Neil did a fantastic job the fill is even and looks like i wont be needing a touch out. the lines are all straight as well. this is great shop with great rates as well. i will be back for sure. read more

This place is above a bar. I was afraid it would be sketchy but it was clean and professional. The guy was very knowledgeable and personable but also didn't dither around asking me if I was sure or anything like that. You may not believe me, but the piercing didn't hurt at all! I've had injections that hurt more. It was very fast and I didn't even bleed. 15 minutes afterwards there wasn't even any redness, it looked like it had been there for ages. Healing up beautifully. Their salt spray is perfect, and you can tell they put thought into getting the right packaging to make it easy to use. Would recommend. Would go again; probably will go again! read more

Clayton has done 10 of my 11 tattoos. I appreciate seeing fine skin art along with a strong moral backbone. A lot of times tattoo artists will just do whatever to whoever, but he will be honest with you and will do an awesome job. I have sent several of my friends and brought my family along for Tattoos. read more

Excellent experience. We were walk in's and Clayton rearranged his schedule to fit all three of us in. He finds the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. It felt like getting a tattoo at my buddy's house. He's got movies to watch if you're gonna have a long session. It's obvious that Clayton is very detail oriented and wants to make his art perfect for you and for him. Very reasonable with pricing for the quality of work you'll get. I will definitely be coming back for another round. read more

I went in with an idea in mind of what i wanted,Lisa listened to my ideas and she made them come to life they offer high quality tatoos at an affordable price i definately recommend this place :) read more

Clayton did a cover-up for me, totally eradicated my ex's name with a beautiful tattoo (I know, I know but we are all dumb 19 and in love at sometime). He took a couple designs I brought in and melded them beautifully and I am so happy. The shop is SUPER clean and he made me really comfortable. I won't go to anyone else for any further tattoos. read more

I got my tattoo from Clayton a year ago and it's still just as beautiful and colorful as the day I got it. He did a beautiful job with the cover up and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait to get some more work done! read more

My first tattoo. :) this place was great! Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. The place was nice and clean and well kept. This is good because I'm not your typical tattoo person, more like soccer mom. I've been on a bit of a life journey though, and I wanted something to commemorate my progress and growth. So I came up with a design. Clayton was wonderful and honest with how and why it would or wouldn't work for where I wanted to put it. I wanted a smaller design for my hand. He helped me change it up a bit. Final design is amazing. Thank you Echo Tattoo! read more

I came here with a friend who had been here before this afternoon. The space they recently moved to is lovely and very clean. I got my nipples pierced and she needed to get a refill of her sea salt spray and Clayton was a delight to work with. When we got there we was working on a consultation with a client, so we sat on the couch and looked through the portfolios they have on display. When he was done with the client, he asked if we had been helped or if we needed anything. When I told him what I wanted done, he gave me some paperwork to fill out, took my id and photocopied it on my release form, and then took my back to a private room to do my piercings. He was very professional and eased my major nerves easily. His voice was very soothing and he explained everything he was doing well. He was more than willing to let me hold my friend's hand and didn't say anything rude when I squealed (or screamed.... maybe just a little). He was very good about distracting me, told me some personal stories and talked about his job and such, and there was lots of stuff on the wall to look at for me to not feel like I needed to watch him pierce me. Once the piercings were done and the jewelry was in, he was very delicate with cleaning the blood off and making sure that they were even. Once we were done, he was very patient with me putting my top back on and being ready to leave. Although it was painful, he did his best to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Overall, I would give Echo 10 stars if I could (Or at least Clayton.) read more

Clayton is amazing. He is a true artist and professional. Getting my tattoo was a wonderful experience.
