Wow. What an absolute monster the owner is. We just tried delivering flowers to his shop from an order we received and when I walked in, he cussed me out. Screaming "was my fucking sign on?! I'm back here trying to take a fucking shit and you just walk in?!" BRO YOUR DOOR WAS OPEN. YOU HAVE A BUSINESS. ITS A MONDAY. Businesses on main streets in cities are usually open. Get a grip on reality you douche. read more

First ever tattoo - this was a fantastic experience. Jim is not only precise and dedicated to what he does, his passion for the art and craft is remarkable and very fascinating to learn about. I love his holistic approach to his business, customers and life in general. I highly recommend!! read more

Both Jim and Jenni have done tattoos on me, and I love them both! The one Jenni did is a devil duck on my back, and after 12 years, it still looks great! JIm did a portrait of my cat on my calf, and it is amazing! I have restless leg syndrome, and didn't even think of it being an issue when I got the tat, but boy was I wrong! Jim had so much patience, and learned the tells when my leg was going to spasm, so he would pull away, then got right back to it when the spasm ended. I've had that one for 9 years now, and still get compliments on it pretty much every day. I get comments on the devil duckie, but it's not always visible under my clothes. read more

My tattoo was in point. He was so flexible for me and it was a fun time just listening to his stories. His machines are great and he's such a great artist. I recommend and found my new tattoo artist. read more

See all

I had high hopes coming here for a tattoo that was supposed to be a tribute to my sister who passed away. The tattoo had writing and was done smaller than I wanted. Not sure what Jim did..but one of the letters is completely blown out and all the letters feel like Braille. The "E" has no hole in the center...so does not quite look like an E. I think Jim was a little heavy handed? Pushed too hard? I don't know. This was my first tattoo...and very important to me...so it's very upsetting. Not sure how to get it fixed at this point. I know I won't be going back there. My sisters tattoos are also raised and letters feel like Braille. She seems ok with that as none of hers are blown out. But...I don't think letters are supposed to be raised and feel like Braille. read more

Guy was really rude. Made me feel uncomfortable with comments like "well, I'm adding something of my own. Either it'll look great or ruin the tattoo." Sloppy work. Place is overrated and over priced. Also just realized he missed ink in some areas. Don't get a tattoo here!!!! read more

Jim & Jenni's Quality Tattoos - Missing yellow ink in one of the roses. Sloppy. I thing close to what I wanted. - Tattoo Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Let me start off with saying, I'm not a yelp reviewer, never posted a review ever but I felt the need to share this after what he did to my friend. I had high hopes for this place. He got us in in a reasonable time and assured us of his credentials and how long he'd been tattooing. He repeatedly got onto a soapbox with us about homelessness, drug abuse, depression, and things of that matter. I'm not sure if he saw the marks on my friends wrist who was a cutter in her youth, but he made the same joke TWICE about cutters. He got upset with my friend who was getting her first tattoo because she changed her mind in the placement. He repeatedly called her picky, and I kid you not. She was getting a semi colon tattoo and he said "so are you getting that because you have that disease or whatever" extremely insensitive to her and I felt awful because it was her first tattoo. He said many insensitive things while we were there and made my friend upset and uncomfortable. And a lesser offense, I asked him to literally copy handwriting for me and a lot of the lines are wobbly and I know it's not because I was moving. I'm all in all happy with my piece but I do wish it was a little straighter. Will not be going back here. read more

To be fair this all happened about two years ago but hearing other horror stories reminded me to write a review. So the only reason I went there in the first place was to have Bobby do my tat as I already knew better than to have Jim or Jenni touch my skin. The entire time I had to sit through the agonizing ordeal of listening to Jim's glory days which clearly no one cared about. He was very unprofessional with his client and others who walked into the shop. After the tat was done Jenni had the nerve to literally make fun of it in front of everyone as I looked at it in the mirror. I was happy with it and Bobby told me to come back for a touch up if needed, so about three months later I go back and ask for a touch up and he gave me shit about it which I did not appreciate. People if you want a good tattoo and as equally important a good experience don't go here. read more

I was only in Yakima for a few hours and I was hoping to be able to get a walk in done somewhere. The first place I went was kind of sketchy and the guy seemed to have just come back in from his weed break, if you know what I mean. Anyway, Jim and Jenni's surprised me with how nice it was- it's clean and professional and the walls are covered in classic tattoo designs. Bobby did a great job! He was so friendly and took his time to make sure it was EXACTLY what I wanted. My tattoo is healed now and it's beautiful. It's just a simple word in a font I googled on my phone, but the lines are clean and it's exactly what I wanted, this place is great! read more

Bobby did a great job giving my 1st tattoo. Did a great job explaining the whole procedure and taking the time.

We live in Tacoma Wa and my long time live in boyfriend ;) turned me on to these guys. So we travel ever summer to see them. Usually big pieces, Jim just gets them done in a jiffy and are absolutly beautiful. Jenni also has done a few on both of us and hers are just as fabulous. We love you and you are so worth the drive! read more

As I mending through these reviews I have to note that there are 2 sides to everything. As I was getting tattooed for 6 hours I saw many people in and Jim was totally nice and professional. There were several people that treated him with little respect and pretty much demanded immediate service. I was also there when the gentlemen's artist was not there yet. I do have to say the man that was waiting was not polite in any sort of way he was demanding and rude to Jim. Jim told him his artist was running a bit late because his son was sick and he demanded his deposit back. Jim is an amazing artist and good business man I highly recommend seeing past things like yelp and in for yourself. read more

The artist named bobby does great work. I have a lot of other tattoos and when I was getting a tattoo by bobby the owner came by and made fun of the artist who did my other tattoos. I just feel that was a little unprofessional. The only reason I didn't give less stars is because bobby is a great artist. read more

Horrible experience. I came here for my first tattoo because this is where my mom went when she was younger and where my uncle went a few years ago for his. I walked in and Jim was rude. I had no idea what I was doing because it was my first tattoo and he made me feel so unwelcome and stupid. I don't know why I didn't just walk out then.. Jenni was the one who actually did the tattoo and she was nice enough. My tattoo looked fine at the time, but.. Two months later.. My plain black cross looks like it's years old and is blotchy, some spots having no color at all. I know for a fact it isn't my skin because I have others and they are all just fine looking. So somehow.. She messed up a simple tattoo. Overall an awful experience. They may have years and years of experience, but I think it's time for them retire.. read more

Worst experience went in to have work done on a memorial tat for my son and was treated like I wasn't worth the time or money I was spending. She acted like I wasn't important to her because I wasn't one of her regulars or a friend of theirs. I could have gotten better work done in County lockup and better treatment as well read more

BEWARE!!! Today I had a tattoo appointment at JIM & JENNI'S TATTOO PARLOR in Yakima. I showed up for the appointment on time at 12:30pm. The tattoo artist was not there yet, so I inquired with owner Jim as to what time he was expected. He said he did not know. Well, I had other things I wanted to do today, so I inquired if he would call the artist and see how long he might be. Jim told me that he was not calling the artist and I could just calm my ass down and wait. At this point Jim was escalating, and I knew right then I would not trust any type of body art from this establishment. I explained that I would not be having the tattoo and requested my deposit back. Jim became extremely loud and belligerent, stating that snobby customers don't get to come into his business and make demands. He also made homophobic slurs and called me names like "snowflake." What kind of business owner calls their customers names and tries to use things like their sexual orientation against them? Not the kind of business I am patronizing. Some advise for Jim: STOP BULLYING PEOPLE. It has become a thing, it shouldn't be a thing. So, consider yourselves warned about the type of business Jim is running here. I won't ever consider Jim & Jenni's as a viable option for body art, there are too many other reputable establishments. Apologies to the artist I was supposed to work with today, you came highly recommended. read more

Just some tats done by Jim..nice. I see reviews about Jim being rude. My guess is that those people are not able to get Jim to open up... thats their fault. We (my wife got a new tay too) had great conversation with Jim.... thanks. ..enjoyed our visit.... will return to Jim and Jennis for any further.... great artist. Only reason not 5 star is cash only policy.... yet I understand read more

best stop in washington! Jim has years of experience and is well known in the trade for tough and good tattoos plus an excellent machine maker. everyone at the shop is super nice. the shop is what you should expect of a tattoo shop, real tattooable designs on the wall mixed with antiques - classic tattoo shop feel! read more

I got my belly ring done there last March, & it wasn't done correctly. I recently had to take it out, & am now waiting for it to heal so I can get it redone somewhere else. She didn't give me very good instructions on what to expect afterwards. I was very disappointed. Although she's very nice & I hear they do great work with tattoos, I wasn't happy with the piercing. I wouldn't recommend them. read more

jim is extremely rude and unprofessional. he is definitely in need of customer service training. he treats both customers and his employees terribly. keep looking if you want a decent tat. read more
