This has been the primary shop I've gotten most of my tattoos from. It's a smaller shop, they currently just have 2 artists jasper, the owner & Tyler who has also been in the Everett tattoo industry for over a decade. I believe they are planning on moving to Smokey point sometime soon so you may want to contact about location ahead of time. Tyler has done my last couple pieces. I'm working on a color, American traditional style sleeve that is looking great. (Pictures attached) Jasper specializes in traditional Japanese which i plan to give him my other arm to work on. These guys are great ARTISTS. From what i see, they don't want to do your stupid, basic, little infinity symbol. They want to do big, badass tattoos and that is exactly what I've gotten here. read more

See all

I've come here for 2 tattoos. The staff is very friendly & the facility is very clean & organized. No compliants! Would I come back? Yes, for sure. read more

Theory Tattoo - My latest addition to my collection! - Tattoo Near Me - Everett, Washington

This is the first time I get a tattoo. It took me months to consider which design, which place that I can trust to get my tattoo done and won't regret later. And I was really pleasantly surprised at the quality and care I got here. Anthony is a great artist, I like his professional, and my bf does too. So he decided to get a tattoo for him by the next day. Anthony took the time to redraw my bff's trama tattoo because of the original length of the tattoo didnt fit his arm. Anthony suggested to add one more design along the tattoo line and turn into something that was way awesomer than my bf had expected. I would absloutely reccommend this place to anyone... they're all custom... need I say more? I'll let you judge Anthony's works by attached pictures read more

Theory Tattoo - This "birds of a feather" tattoo represents the spiritual freedom, the strength to endure the sorrow and fly up in the sky. - Tattoo Near Me - Everett, Washington

I was checking this place out as my last artist retired and I needed a new shop. I won't ever know if this establishment is worth my while. Jasper was the only one in when I stopped by (place totally empty btw); could barely be bothered to have a discussion about an idea for some work. Suggested I leave my number and I would get a call in the next day or so. Needless to say, that never happened. Probably not a great idea to have a "couldn't care less" prick as first contact. I won't be back. That word of mouth thing works both ways...... read more

Jasper is a total jerk and a rip off. I went in there to get a japaneese dragon done and he told me he needed a $100 deposit to start drawing something for me. I paid him and was told it would be a week before he would be ready. I came back as instructed and he was not even there. I came back several times over the next 6 months and nothing but excuses and dodging my calls. I never got my deposit back nor did I ever get to see any artwork. This guy is a flake and a jerk. He always acted like he was better than me and was always rude. I wouldn't ever go back there or recomend anyone else to unless they just like throwing money away. read more

I've had several large pieces done by Jasper who is the owner. He is knowledgeable, professional and is very approachable when it comes to designing and crafting unique pieces. The environment is extremely clean and professional. I welcome any people looking for a top notch piece to visit as I don't think you will be disappointed. It never ceases to amaze me that people will try to cut corners when it comes to tattoos and art that they are putting on their body which will last a lifetime. Why not get the best? Do your homework and you will agree. read more

I got my second tattoo done by Brea who is an apprentice at Theory Tattoo. She was very timely at getting my design put together and I felt comfortable telling her what changes to make to the design until I felt like it was absolutely perfect! She is funny and super sweet and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I will definitely be returning and recommending her to my friends! read more

While out walking, one day, I topped in to check out their portfolios. These Artists have skills.

I came into Theory Tattoo with a couple of messed up pieces from a previous Tattoo shop and they fixed me. They take pride in their artwork like a true tattoo artist should. The prices here are unbeatable especially for the quality of the tattooing and constructive criticism given. I have several tattoos covering my body from here its nice to be able to trust a place so much I can say I have found my own personal tattoo artist. I wish I could give them more than just 5 stars read more

I have wanted to get this flower touched up and added to, so today I just went in off the streets. Shawn did my tattoo and did a great job! He came up with the ideas on where to place the lines and the recoloring! I will be back! read more

I was very unhappy with the artist who was going to do my tattoo. I gave him a picture of exactly what I wanted to have done I didnt want to change anything about it. and he wanted to make it his own and give me a "custom tattoo" and what he drew up for me looked nothing close to the style or details that I wanted. Infact the complete opposite. He told me he had seen that tattoo done several times. Not to mention I paid him a $50.00 deposit. He told me he didn't want to rip off any other artist work. ..... Well I feel like I got ripped off! read more

I absolutely love the tattoo I got doe here!!! Jasper was amazing.. even though he could tell I've gotten tattoos in the past he still explained the process and aftercare. I've been to some places where the artist doesn't even talk to you during the session which is extremely boring but we maintained a casual and easy conversation during it which definitely makes time go faster while you're in the chair! I will be going back!! read more

Bad business practice. They're only open two days a week Sundays by appointments only, no one answers the phones when you call and on the days they're suppose to be open they're closed when you get there with no signs. I'd never try them again. Wish i could give them no stars. read more

Have had Anthony do two tattoos, and had an additional one fixed. Already making plans for the next one. Would not go anywhere else! Laid back/fun atmosphere. Shop is clean, too. Great prices, solid work. It's nice to finally find artists who care about their work!! read more
