We were greeted by Eva who told us we would have to wait, and I'm so Happy that we did!! While waiting we also meet Oliver, the Squirrel too cute We were introduced to Max. She went Above And Beyond to not only look at the tatt, but ask my niece if she was sure with the placement and adding her expertise about sizing!! We will Mos Definitely be going back for more Tattoos in the very near Future.

A few years ago I cam across Aaron's work on Instagram when I was looking for an artist to help…read morefinish one of my tattoos. I instantly fell in love with his work, the bold lines, the colors, and the overall composition of his tattoos drew me in. I knew I instantly that he would be the one to help me finish my tattoo. A little background on the tattoo. It is an outline (if you want to call it that) of the Virgin Mary that I got done in a hotel room around 15 years ago when I was 17 years old. I waited so long to get this tattoo finished because I didn't know or feel comfortable having just anyone finish it. I didn't know if I would be turned away because of the condition and the state of the tattoo. Fast forward to me finally getting the courage to go in to Ink City and talk to Aaron. I was super nervous, talked way too fast, and was probably sweating profusely. Aaron greeted me with what I can only assume was a smile (he was wearing a mask). I talked to him about my tattoo and showed it to him. His response was something I was waiting to hear for a long time. "Yeah man, we can definitely make this work!" Unfortunately, due to my availability I wouldn't be seen by him till February of 2021. Unexpectedly, I received a call from Aaron. "I got availability this weekend, will you be able to make it?" Again, I probably talked way too fast because I was way too excited to get this started. The weekend came, and with it, work on my tattoo. It had been my first time under a needle in at least 15 years. I was very nervous, Aaron reassured me and we were under way. The tattoo was located on my ribs, and the pain was not like what I remembered! Aaron was more than happy to give me plenty and long breaks (thank you for that by the way!) After a few breaks I asked Aaron if I would be able to get up and look at the tattoo in the mirror. I got up and was in complete shock, close to tears because of what I saw. Aaron is definitely a master of his craft. He absolutely nailed what I had in mind and with not the best canvas to work on. I was so excited to get back on the table and have him continue. If I could, I would just sleep and have him go at it till the tattoo is finished! Aaron's professionalism and dedication to his craft definitely make him stand out. I look forward to seeing the direction he takes my current tattoo and future ones I plan on having him work on.

Jason used a very heavy hand and Rizzo has more work to do, but atheist I am no longer embarrassed about it. I

Just got work done at Rare Breed Ink and I can honestly say I'm never going to another shop again…read more The place is super clean and professional -- you can tell they take hygiene seriously. The artist had really gentle hands and the quality of the work is insane. They never rushed anything and kept checking if I needed a break whenever I wanted, which made the whole session comfortable instead of stressful. Great pricing for the level of detail and care you get. Straight up some of the best work in the PNW. Highly recommend

I've been coming to 3rd Rock Tattoo Shop since 2021, I absolutely LOVE DOUG! He's been my tattoo…read moreartists since. I always come to him with sketches and pieces I've drawn, and he does AMAZING transferring them to skin or adjusting them to fit my needs. I've even gotten a cover up piece from him! Pricing to me isn't bad the most I paid was $600-$650 for 3 pieces at once. Typically we discuss a price, then from there if I do color or change the size he doesn't say anything about the price changing. I've done color pieces, and black and white pieces , overall I recommend Doug to ANYONE that asks me about a good tattoo artist!

But seriously if you're looking for a solid, true artist you've got to hit up Matt.

They emailed me to move the appointment to two weeks earlier, but never called to confirm.

She said they had high turnover in the office and someone forgot to update their automatic reminder system. Super unprofessional.
