THANK YOU DENISE From start to finish the progression of getting my tattoo was phenomenal. Due to not really being from this area I was referred to see Denise by a friend. Instagram is a beautiful thing. Lol As soon as I saw her style and quality of work, I had to make an appointment. I messaged her through Instagram and she told me to call in to schedule a consultation. I spoke with the friendly receptionist and I had a consult scheduled easily within the next few days. Due to covid I was really hesitant of going anywhere since this virus is literally taking over the world lol. But anyways I went in and met Denise. She was very efficient and personable. We talked about what I wanted and she was excited to come up with ideas. Which I knew no matter what it'd turn out dope. Due to my hectic schedule and hers as well we found a date that worked. She requires a $60 deposit that will go towards your tattoo. Definitely understandable just in case I was a flake. Our tattoo artists time is precious. Especially if we are having them sketch an original piece just for you. When I arrived for my actual appointment, I came in 15min early. Just so I could give courtesy to Denise and of course paperwork. I was so excited when she showed me what she drew up. She listened to everything I f*cking wanted. Ayyyyyeeeeee! Finally a tattoo artist I felt 100% confident in. Denise was very thoughtful of placement and what looked good on me. I've had tattoos done from a few different artists around the world and I'll say Denise was the best one I've Eva had. :P AHUUUAHHHH! I'm not even trying to front for this review. I'm just stating facts. The ambiance of the facility was the cherry on top. It was cleanly, modern, and just well thought out. I felt comfortable taking off my mask and relaxing while Denise did her thang. Her playlist was pretty fiya too. I wish I could add emojis to this but just know I was vibing. I'm sure you know this by now but I was satisfied with the outcome of my tattoo. I love it! Thank you again girrrrl. She charges an hourly rate that'd you have to ask her about but when I was finished she charged me $199. I was surprised, I was expecting to pay maybe like $250-300. Whatever the case It's worth every cent. Anyways, Thank you and I can't wait to see you again Denise. :] read more

If you're new to the area and looking for a reliable tattoo shop with artist that do great work, this is the shop for you! They have many artist in their shop that each have their own individual style which is part of what makes this shop so great. If you go onto their website you will definitely find an artist that can draw you up what you want! They recently moved into a larger shop and it is huge! They also have live music at the shop at times which is really cool. I've gotten 2 tattoos from 2 artist here. Small mountains on my forearm from Isaac and a thigh piece from Harper. They charge $150 an hour with a $100 deposit that is taken from the total price. Both artist I worked with were very easy to talk to and both drew up exactly what I wanted. My thigh piece needed color and I had no idea how I wanted the colors to be placed but Harper knew exactly what to do and it turned out amazing! She also guarantees a free touch up which is great! Recently moved so I won't be able to get any future tattoos here but I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Colt is one bad motha-SHUT YO MOUTH. He did some amazing, crisp, pretty slick work. Nicest guy and has a calm vibe. Look, we all know you get what you pay for and trust me. This place is worth it. Price isn't high, and it isn't cheap, it's FAIR. These guys aren't just artist, they are THE artist of Kitsap. Don't mess around and get cheap work elsewhere. This will be on your body for a long time, go do it right. Check their work out. read more

What a delightful experience. Bremerton has a plethora of fantastic tattoo shops, it also has the grace of being home to Woodwork Tattoo. The artists here are phenomenal. I had such a great time. My artist Bink (Isaac) was a great conversationalist and really did amazing work on me. The price is great $150 an hour, like seriously that's great. Isaac took little to no time getting everything ready for me and took all my input. He sketched me everything that I wanted and took the time to hear what I wanted. I loved my time here and will definitely return again. They have drinks there available, a clean clean facility, some candy to get your sugar going. A nice lounge area. A live band sometimes. Sometimes they even do flash sales for cheaper tattoos and guest artists. Why wait though, this shop has award winning artists. I love this place. You will too. read more

This place is amazing! Harper created my beautiful tattoo and I can't wait to go back for more. The new location is great. Everyone is a total professional. There is an artist for whatever style you're into. I'm pretty sure you don't need my review to help convince you, the work speaks for itself. read more

Harper is absolutely a joy to work with. She's professional, skilled, and super easy to talk to. I just recently moved to WA and I'm happy to say that I've found my permanent tattoo artist. I get compliments on my piece daily and I'll definitely be back to Woodwork to get another one done by Harper soon. The shop is also clean and inviting. Everyone there is really chill and doesn't make you feel awkward. Couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

I went in for my first tattoo. Isaac made me feel welcome. I had a general idea of what I wanted but wasn't sure. Isaac came up with a design that I loved. I recommend Woodwork Tattoo read more

I have had tattoos done by Isaac and Krysten here and through hours of sitting in there, met many other folks in there, including the owner. It's a beautiful space, very clean, and comfortable. Plus the artists are really talented. Krysten is making the coolest arm sleeve and I couldn't be happier with her work and overall awesomeness. read more

Avoid, avoid, avoid. They won't work with you. They will put you off over and over again. They will deride your ideas. They'll tell you it's not big enough. The one I was working with couldn't stop his hands from shaking. Do not spend a dime there. Just stay far away. They also kept my deposit despite putting in only a few minutes' work on my drawing. In general: a place filled with douchebags, with very little sense of customer service or propriety. read more

This is the nicest tattoo parlor I have ever been to. Very clean! Staff is friendly! Worked closely with Colt on a traditional sailor Jerry piece... It came out better than the original print. I'll definitely refer friends to this establishment. read more

I recently stopped by Woodwork to get some ink. I was leaving town and Jeff was able to squeeze me in at a moments notice and did an amazing job. His work is great, and he has awesome customer service. He listens to your ideas and will go out of his way to accomplish them. I would highly recommend Jeff. I will be getting more work from him in the future. Thanks Jeff. Greger Tuttle read more

Overall I received a nice and clean tattoo, but I will not come back. Did it cost more than twice as much as I was quoted, yes. Was the consultation a waste of time because nothing was right, yes. Did the artist text me the morning of and ask what I wanted, yes. Was time that I paid for spent redrawing my tattoo, yes. Everyone is wearing masks, sanitation is a high priority. read more

Was trying to make an appointment for my SO and I, from the second I walked in I have never felt such an unwelcoming environment in a shop, literally got the "what are you doing here" vibe. Talked to the receptionist and artist and it's like every question I asked was like they were almost annoyed with it. I tried to make small talk with the receptionist at one point and she just didn't respond to me at all. Long story short I went there anxious as f*ck cause I don't like new places, I've been going to the same shop for years, and I left there crying because they made me feel so weird?? It was uncomfortable and unwelcoming enough to where I feel the need to leave a review because, people really shouldn't be leaving your shop crying. read more

I made an appointment to see the owner. Was told he came from Alaska. I lived up there many years and people from there are a different type. Always very friendly and helpful . I needed a tattoo fixed badly . Was so looking forward to meeting this person and getting my tattoo fixed right. What an arrogant jerk. He actually told me he didn't like my attitude and that he would not tattoo me! I would not suggest going to someone with such arrogance. I did find a professional to fix my tattoo in another shop in Poulsbo . read more

If you want a well thought out, original, great quality tattoo this is the place to go. Both my husband and I have gotten tattoos here and they were EXACTLY what we wanted. They don't typically do walk ins and depending on the artist it could be a longish wait for an appointment, but it's totally worth it. All the artists have Instagram accounts with photos of their work- so check those out. read more

Went into Woodwork because I was told Kyle was the best and I had a pretty messed up tatt. Heard he was from Alaska. I thought cool. Something in common. What an arrogant so called artist. When I came for a consult with Kyle, he told me, he didn't like my attitude and would not tattoo me. I really needed help with some very poor work. How pathetic. Way to big for his britches. Never will I go there again and I will suggest not to go there. I also let the person that suggested , this so called tattoo artist, should not be recommending Kyle to anyone. This town is way to small for such arrogance.Thanks for your help Kyle Wood! read more

I appreciate that Colt came forward to me through Yelp and we had a conversation. Albeit, a tough one. I get that everyone has bad days. I can't imagine catering to people's wants everyday. And you know sometimes it's just not meant to be. I appreciate the apology and I really hope the best for this studio and I don't doubt his work as being good. read more

Updated to add--I went in on Friday for Colt White to do a Mariner's Cross style anchor on my foot. He did an AMAZING job! Super clean and bold--I've had a dozen compliments already. All of the artists here are ARTISTS! You won't find tracers here--what you will find is original, long lasting body art that you can be proud of. read more

Woodwork Tattoo & Gallery is the best tattoo shop in the entire Kitsap county. All of the artist there are pretty bad ass. You have to set a consultation before so you can explain what you want then they will sketch some drawings out for you to match your needs until you're 100% satisfied. The shop itself is very clean. If this is your first tattoo go there you won't regret it! read more

Absolutely great experience, everyone that worked there was super nice and friendly! Colt did my tattoo and I love it! I will for sure be back to get more work done in the future! read more

Good luck getting any communication with this place. After a 5 minute consultation I was asked for $100 and sent on my way? You would think getting something permanent tattooed on you would be taken a little more serious. After trying to reschedule with an artist that does more that tattoo flowers I was denied and told I couldn't get a refund..this place is obviously more concerned about making money than getting a long term customer. read more

I wanted a cover up of some ladybugs I had on my back and had a consultation with Kyle, to even see if he could (would) do it. He sad he would and I made an appointment. When I arrived he drew my tattoo and went to work. I absolutely love everything about my tattoo again. He really is talented and worth the wait. I highly recommend him. read more

I am so happy with this shop! I was referred to Kyle by a friend because I wanted to get a tattoo fixed and/or covered and she told my Kyle was very talented with the style I was going for. He completely fixed what I'd had before and expanded on it. I got some realistic roses done. They are EVERYTHING I dreamed they would be. I could not be more happy with them! I originally emailed as an inquiry to ask about getting a consultation, and Kyle responded very quickly. I set up a consultation and talked with him in person a few days later, then scheduled an appointment. I ended up having to reschedule, and the shop was super understanding and flexible. The day of my appointment, Kyle printed up several options and took his time figuring out how it would work best on my body and how to incorporate it into what I already had. I also want to state that the shop is VERY clean. I was there for almost seven hours in entirety and all of the artists are very cautious and hygienic, and use good procedures for setting up and tearing down their stations to make sure nothing gets contaminated. All of the artists here are personable and talented (AND hilarious), and I would recommend this shop to anyone. From looking at the portfolios, it looks like they each have something different to offer, which is fantastic! The rate is $150/hr, which is totally reasonable, considering the quality of the work. I will DEFINITELY be back. OH! And the front desk girl Sarah is even awesome. Toward the end of my appointment, I was feeling a bit light headed, and she made me tea and offered me string cheese. Could not be more impressed with this place. read more

I came to this establishment for a consultation with Isaak. We discussed in length what we were looking for. We told him we wanted to see the design before we came back to get it placed on my Sons arm. Isaak was supposed to send it to us. The Wednesday before the appointment we still didn't receive it so we messaged him and what we received from him was only a very BASIC line drawing. No details, or coloring. I messaged Isaak and asked for the rest of the tattoo as we discussed, the colors and details. This is where he started with his attitude. Saying he doesn't do that. He said that they only do a line drawing, that this is their shops policy. I reminded him that we needed to see the tattoo in it's entirety before we have it done. So then he says he doesn't want to do it now. And I said ok, I would like my deposit back and he said he's keeping it for the time already invested. I spoke to the owner Kyle and he argued that they do not give back deposits, that I need to reschedule. But Isaak refused to. So they kept my 100.00 deposit for a simple line drawing. Note: Kyle initially agreed to give me my deposit back but then said no. As you can see in the screen shot. read more

I got a tattoo today from Jeff Thompson! I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he went above and beyond my expectations! He was professional, nice and did an amazing job!

Holy Crap I will never go here again! I put a 100.00 deposit down and emailed in a tattoo of flowers flowing on vines with my daughter's name in it. When I got to my appt. Nate had drawn flowers in a vase with some other name written across it. Totally apples and oranges. When I asked to compare the two tattoos, the one I emailed in and the one Nate drew, they did not have it. In other words, Nate had not even looked at the one I sent in since I had been there 3 weeks ago. Which is why he had some random name written on a vase. WTF? "No Refunds" is all some other guy kept saying to me. He also said that if I wanted Nate to try again to draw my tattoo I would have to give them another 100.00. I repeatedly said that this tattoo did not resemble the one I emailed in at all, not in any way shape or form, it didn't even have the same placement on my arm. I drew one to go horizontal and he was placing a vase vertically. I cannot believe this is how they do business. I will never ever go there, nor will I allow my daughter to finish her tattoo there and I do not recommend this place. So totally wrong. How can you say this is Nate's interpretation of my tattoo when he hasn't even looked at my emailed in picture in weeks cuz their email deleted it. Wow. read more

BOTTOM LINE - WE WILL DEFINITELY USE COLT AGAIN. I took my 20 year old daughter and 18 year old son into Woodwork tattoo today for their "Christmas Present". This was a first tattoo for them and they wanted their family "buckle" (like a family crest) tattooed on them - my son's on his shoulder and my daughter on her back. I have to say, as a mom, I was a little nervous as this was our first time getting tattoos and I really wanted a great experience for them and of course, a beautiful result. Something that's permanent needs to be done right. My nephew recommended Woodwork tattoo and I had come here to read the reviews. I noticed the only derogatory review was for Colt but it looked as if it might have been resolved so I went to the shop to personally check it out. The artist that greeted me was extremely nice. I showed him the design we were interested in getting and we discussed how he thought he should approach it with my kids. I asked to take a look at his work and he brought up a photo gallery of his work. I noticed the folder name said Colt so I asked him point blank if he was the same person who was referred to in one of the reviews I read and he said yes. I asked if he could put my mind to rest about using him. He was super straight forward with me - I felt that he didn't minimize the other person's experience and was humble and mature about his response to it and to my inquiry. He really seemed to just want to give great customer service and his portfolio looked great so we booked our appointments with him. When we arrived, he was ready for us and took each of my kids in one after the other. Knowing it was a first time for us, he didn't mind me coming back and checking in on how things were going with the work. He was engaging with us, super nice and more importantly, the end result on both tattoos were wonderful. They are so much better than we imagined they would be! So much so, now my husband wants Colt to touch up his. I also had a chance to look at some of the work another artist was doing on another client (with their permission). It was really beautiful. I've never been compelled to get a tattoo myself but if I ever did, I'd feel totally at ease with this shop. Like I said, this was a big deal for us because this was our first time. read more

i've been going back and forth about leaving a review since i got my tattoo three years ago. i went to the shop after having heard many good things, specifically about Kyle Wood, the owner and one of the artists. so i had a consult where i showed him what i want and showed up for my appointment. when i walked into the shop, he didn't remember what we had discussed and said "which one were you? i had like four wolf tattoos this week" and i thought it was weird but since it was my first large piece, i didn't know what to expect. he put a stencil on me and saw my hesitation and confusion and asked what was wrong and i let him know it wasn't my tattoo that i asked for. he immediately seemed frustrated and asked me to show him what we discussed so i did. he printed off the picture that i showed him, made a stencil of it and put it on me. i was very flustered at that point in time but decided to go with what he said. after that experience he was also very rude and abrupt with me during the process of actually doing the tattoo. i understand that all artists are different with their process and style but i just felt that i received poor service and like i was being brushed off. i have gotten bigger pieces since and when i told the artist about my experience, i was told it wasn't normal for an artist to act this way or do something or this nature. i'm glad to see so many people have had positive experiences with him and with the shop and i'm sure he is a very respectable artist most days and he has an insane amount of talent. i was just disappointed with my own experience. read more
