What won the contest was me mentioning that I wanted to get a pray mantis, and Jaime had found one on the front door of the shop. She snapped a few pictures of it, traced it, and that's he little dude we put in there. We did an olive branch because my grandmas first job was picking olives, and my daughter's name is Olive. A California poppy because I'm born and raised in Northern California. And pink azaleas because I had one in the front yard of my child hood home. My experience was top tier, Jaime was awesome and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you again Jaime.

I came to Universal Rites in search for a studio that had good vibes and talented artists. My first…read moreimpressions of the studio were, it's clean, the lobby was welcoming and had good seating with a portfolio of each artists work. I was greeted by one of the Tattoo Artists, Raul. Raul greeted me as I walked into the studio and quickly made me feel at home and walked me through all of the different Tattoo Artists work and booth areas. I left my contact information for a consultation with Raul and was contacted the very next day to begin my tattoo journey. Raul got me into his booth for tattooing the design I chose two weeks later from my consult. I have gotten over 36 hours of tattoo work done in the past. Hands down, my experience at Universal Rites Tattoo was one of my better experiences while getting tattooed. Raul's booth had a super comfortable table to lie on while being tattooed, his tattoo machines are newer models that don't hurt like the older machines used to and his booth was filled with art that he hand painted himself. Raul's work shows for itself, his line work is some of the best I've come across. My tattoo process was seamless, damn near painless and some of the more affordable prices I've come across. I'm excited to keep scheduling more future work through this studio and hopefully try out the other great Artists who work there.

Great people, great work prices are very good up Beat. Good vibes, good people friendly reliable.read more

Today I walked in for a tattoo and a piercing. I knew exactly what I wanted and Korynn had the stencil ready for me within minutes. While I waited I had Melinda pierce my daith. Quick, easy, comfortable, with minimal pain. I love it and she was so funny and made the whole experience so enjoyable. From the second Korynn called me to the back it took about 10 minutes to do my tattoo. She was very efficient and very sweet. It was my first tattoo and I felt like she was very light handed and gentle. She then explained very nicely the aftercare procedures and what to expect. It made for a great day and I will definitely be returning for more piercings/tattoos soon. Thank you to everyone at Epic Ink.

It is a studio attached to her home, so don't be afraid to walk up to the door and come in. Door is on side of house and well marked. I was so impressed with Mori's sketch book I decided to finally get the tattoo I always wanted. For 9 years I have looked for an artist who shared my asthetic. I went to several places in Seattle but never found a good fit. She worked with me until we got the design just the way I wanted. She was patient and kind. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Again, she was very thorough with her post-procedure instructions. As a nurse practitioner I was glad to see she had an autoclave for sterilizing her equipment and that she used new needles on each person. She carefully inspected each needle before use using a jeweler eyepiece. I would highly recommend Mori.

No one is expecting you to be, but we do expect you to do quality tattoos when you are yielding a tattoo gun to people's skin. This is permanent, forever. Absolutely atrocious, if you care about your body, your artwork don't let Mori come anywhere near you with a needle....and to add insult to injury, the crap she tries to sell you to heal your tattoo is awful and painful, not only is my tattoo horrific but infected as well from whatever vodoo stuff she gave me. Luckily she has a "light hand" as she brags, so maybe laser treatment will be able to get out this awful job.
