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.

Lol) Now you may have gotten…read moretattooed from other shops (and no I'm not talking about your cousins attic with a razor blade.) but there is one shop in the top of Olympus that towers over the northwest section of Merika. (*looks up into the mountain with the sun burning your eyes.* "ah! My eyes they burn!!!.... FROM AWESOMENESS!") So get comfy, shaved and ready for the stencil of this review! Atmosphere: Well it feels like a squirrel took a wrong turn and ended up in the Willy Wonka section where they inspected nuts because this place is amazingly nut! (Places Spider monkeys on the nut scale.. *processing...ding!*... it's... aaaaaa... good nut. Lol [Now a days that means something completely different. These kids and their analogies! *Shakes cane to the sky only to be blinded by the sun again* "Gosh darn it!!" Lol]) There is so much Art and trinkets on the walls, that I almost 83.4% go crossed eye from trying to take in all of the art. (Now I'm starting to wonder why my tattoos end up in different parts of my body... O.O) The place is immaculate and the only litter ever created was when I accidentally dropped a wrapper on the ground and that's actually the only time I saw the mess that it really was. (Due to my wrapper. Don't worry I picked it right away.) Each artist section is covered by their art creations and a spin to it. (Kinda like a college dorm room but instead of poster it's amazing art.) Let's talk about the restroom because just like everyone (which I read in a wise book a long time ago and I live by it daily) they poop. *tear falls done* she's... breathtaking, the seat is wiped and the sink is clean, there's art on the wall and my backside cinnamon rolls thank you for caring for my donkey. Customer Service/Product: Now you may have seen a lot of 80s through 90s movies where they depict the tattoo artist as tattooed, pierced and mean! Well let me tell you it's nothing like that. These people are tattooed, pierced and.. friendly! O.O I've personally been working with Skrappy for 94.7% of my tattoos and he has not disappointed me! (YET!.... I'm just joking. I don't think he will. No pressure.. [ALL PRESSURE!!... I'm just joshing you.. *cough* O.O!!!]) They have a professional outlook and making sure you have what you want and taking the correct steps to set up their station and make it a safe environment to be tatted in. (Plus Skrappy has the softest hands there. Well that's what he told me and I'm sticking to it. Lol.) The tattoos produced here are worth every cent and they actually care what you want, what's doable, and what's not. They won't curve the truth and honestly I love seeing that in a business. Plus the majority of the time while I'm getting tattooed were mostly telling jokes, catching up or just staring deep each other's eyes. Lol. Conclusion: You ever just get so frustrated to not getting what you want? Ever want quality work that's worth your money? Ever needed a clean safe environment where professional who have done this for years know what they're doing? Ever ask Samantha Boiser from cubicle 36-B and get rejected so now you take the stairs instead of the elevator just in case of the off chance you get stuck with her in it like last Tuesday and she brings it out and tells you why she said no so you end up crying in front of her so she just awkwardly gets off a floor earlier!?!... if you checked yes in one of these things *thinks..* yes.. if you have checked one in any of these. This place is your place to go. With an amazing selection of tattoo artist, immaculate environment filled with fascinating art and professional but awesome background it's hard not waste every pay check here! (Why am I so broke!?! *shakes to the sky--* ah my eyes again!!)

(this does not regard to the tattoos. i did not get one so this is about the PIERCING option they…read moreoffer.) I am absolutely in shock. Background: i have been wanting to get a daith piercing for a few months before hand, i was researching it and was wanting to get one really bad and i wanted to get it with my mom too. I looked up places that had a good review and came across this place. They only have one piercer, Kelly. They are a mostly come-in service and they do not need an appointment so I went in and my mom ultimately decided against getting one with me because they were just so expensive as we've looked at other cheaper options in Lacey. But I didnt want wait for the other cheaper option because they only take appointment and I would've rather paid more to not wait longer (which i don't regret) I came in her room, I asked her, do you think i have the right anatomy for this piercing? because with all the digging i did, everyone said as long as you have a licensed piercer confirm, then yes. But she didn't give me a clear answer other than "it's a little small but i think it's good" and marked me with her pen and proceeded to need to move it around twice because obviously I didn't have the right anatomy for it but i didn't know that then since i thought it was okay because she said it would work so i was thrilled and super excited. (not to mention she pieced me with a curved bar that was WAY too long to fit into my ear which caused irritation for me occasionally but i couldn't change it because it wasnt healed yet.) As per expected, obviously it hurt. And i have been taking care of it, keeping it clean spraying it with the saline solution in the morning and at night. I don't think it has hurt since the week i got it, after that I think it's been healing nicely since I never got any bumps or irritation from it. But today around 4 months ish later, with no signs (AGAIN, NO PAIN. like if i didn't see it FALL OUT of my ear, i wouldnt have known.) it came out and RIPPED my ear and which i have a hole. I will absolutely never be coming back here and will never recommend Kelly to anyone. Go to percision piercing if you really want it. (heard the owner is kinda weird but maybe you'll have better luck than what I got. Please check with other piercers and confirm you actually have the right anatomy before trusting them. Again, can't speak for the tattoos, but for the piercing situation, do not get it. I can't stress that enough.

However, overtime my piece(supposed to be a 4 leaf clover)was so blown out and I recently got it covered! It looks like they have some talented artist but I highly recommend researching the artist work with HEALED pieces of their work and thinking methodically about your design if you choose to come here. I hope this advice helps to young adults wanting to get tattooed. I am thankful this piece was small and faded enough to get covered. I have since gotten the tattoo covered by a great artist!

Several misses at local tattoo shops delayed me from getting the work done. The motivation was there, but something was missing. I guess i don't need a large shop, a chain, or folks that cant be at their shop when their hours say they'll be, yes, that happened, TWICE. Dre was not only willing to do the work, but JUST AS his IG page says you can message him and hell get back to you. He did, and gave me the confidence he'd be the right guy for the job. I was scheduled, for just a day later! The shop is SUPER clean and isn't cliched. Dre is a SoCal man, but has local art on his walls as well as stuff highlighting his CA heritage, which I admire because I'm a NY transplant myself, which showed me he honors his past, but isn't tied to it. Just enough free spirit to ALSO make him the right guy. Dre has a few apprentice artists working with him right now, one male, one female. This is Super important because some ladies want work in more intimate places, and i think having a choice for the client is smart. Additionally, i think this shows his expectation of growth, which im sure is bound to happen. Oh, and by the way, Dre served this country in a previous career in the military. Theres a humble but strong nod to his service, by way-of his retirement flag and a humble display of his service medals, which I genuinely appreciated. Dre has real technique, noticeable by how he speaks to his apprentice team, giving them direction on how the line work can be done, by tuning out music and listening to the art tools. Real zen stuff which reminded me tattooing is first and foremost ART, and a union of creator and created. None of what I saw was disappointing, every aspect of his shop is elevated, and worthy of much more future business. By the way, my wife and i go back today for her newest ink, and im getting another small one as well. You can see his work @threebirdstattooco on IG. 5 stars? I only wish i could go higher.
