Reviews of Slave to the Needle Tattoo & Body Piercing

Eva N.

Wonderful tattoo and piercing parlor! Kali did a fantastic job of making the process, quick, easy, and enjoyable! The selection of jewelry options (both for starter jewelry while healing and for healed piercings) is fantastic and they have some really beautiful pieces in an enormous range of sizes, styles, and materials. I was able to get a piercing appointment within just a few days of when I initially called and was greeted on time and led through the entire process with multiple opportunities to ask questions. Please consider Slave to the Needle for your next body mod!

Kali pierced my septum and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! She was super chill and professional, I loved that she walked me through the whole process and I was glad to see how sterile the whole place is! There was hardly any pain involved with my piercing and I am just over a week into my healing process and it has been 10/10.

I got my septum piercing done in April at Slave to the Needle (which my piercer Chris made such an amazing and comfortable appointment) but I'm writing this review based on today's experience. I naively showed up to buy a new septum clicker without an appointment, and the compassion i received went beyond just a pleasurable customer service experience. Some context is that in that last few months I've been experiencing critical health issues that have left me newly disabled. I was instructed that my beautiful septum ring would have to come out for several upcoming tests/procedures i had to do. I had just crossed the 6month mark and was terrified of taking my piercing out without a spacer because i had no clue how long i would need to go without my septum ring. I had 24hrs to find a spacer and after seeing that Slave to the Needle had to close early that specific day, i ended up at another jewelry shop. I waited two hours to get my ring out at this other shop and the whole time the piercer was telling me i didn't need a spacer and that i was acting overly cautious and just completely disregarded my individual medical needs. Fast forward to today. I had been wanting to get a septum clicker so that i can take my piercing in and out easier for procedures, and i knew i wanted to go back to Slave to the Needle. It's a lot of work for me to leave the house these days, so even though I had been wanting to get this task done for weeks, health and exhaustion always prevented it. So when i showed up today and saw a note on their door that jewelry shopping required an appointment, my heart sank and i was ready to turn around. My partner encouraged me to just go in and check, and by sheer luck they had the time to accommodate me in between things even though it was totally on me for not looking up the policy beforehand. As i said, I'm new to being disabled. I'm still trying to learn how to move around the world and often get met with so much impatience. We had to go up the tiniest set of stairs to get to the jewelery cases, but there was no railing and i was struggling. All of a sudden as i was starting to feel so embarrassed and like all eyes were on me, the employee helping me just held his arm out for support to help me up. I have literally never had a stranger do that for me. We talked about cane swords and cool woodworking walking sticks - he just made me feel so comfortable. He didn't try to ignore the obvious fact that i was disabled, but he also didn't give me "special treatment." He just treated me like an actual human. I honestly can't believe how great of an experience it was, especially for being a walk in that was smooshed in between appointments. I didn't feel rushed, yet i was in and out of there so efficiently. I'm sure we were a massive inconvenience but the whole staff acted like it was no issue. I am honestly grinning from ear to ear wearing my new clicker and writing this review. This was a customer service interaction I'll always remember. Slave to the Needle deserves all of the praise they get and more.

I came here to re-pierce one of my ears and I had the best experience with Adam. I don’t like needle and he made the process as painless as possible. It was a calm and easy experience. He took time to measure and get the earring color to match my other earring on the other ear. Even after he pierced my ear and I have questions, he took the time to explain each solution he used on my ear to get it ready to pierce. It was awesome experience and I am really glad I came. Adam was able to help me with the process and gave me instruction to care for my pierced earring (standard soap and water and no need for extra expensive cleaning solutions). Everything looks clean and it was a great experience. I don’t like needle or else I would definitely come back for tattoos or more piercings. I would recommend coming here for piercing just because attention and care to details. Adam was also able to get me in instead of waiting till 8 pm (I walk in at around 4 pm) because he was done with another client earlier than anticipated. Thank you for saving me time!

Joshua Parker

In these pandemic times, it's important to support what you want to be around later. S.T.T.N. has been a staple and has such amazing people for tattoo and piercings. They're selection is affordable and awesome, they do everything they can to accommodate special needs. And their facility is immaculate. Set up an appointment and stop by to support them. Thanks for reading this far, good luck and good hunting!

Melodie Hulsing

Josh is a badass! He peirced my nose and was so professional and quick which was what I needed because I was anxious! Will definitely be go back!! Highly recommend!

marion mattson

Highly recommend this shop. I got my lobes pierced by Kali, who was great. She was kind and professional. This was my first piercing ever and I felt safe the whole time. The jewelry selection here is also very good and well priced. Will be coming back for my second lobes!

Sadaf Ghaffari

Great staff :) Very knowledgeable and friendly. I came here first time for a piercing about 15 years ago and have been coming for tattoos and more since.

Brynn Talley

Bruce was absolutely a pleasure to work with! He was kind and patient when it came to sizing my tattoo. He had to print the drawing off multiple times. He made me feel comfortable and my tattoo came out amazing. I would highly recommend Bruce. Thanks Bruce!

Shelby M

I’m from out of town and had an issue with my nostril piercing (previously pierced elsewhere) I had major issues adjusting my nose piercing and putting in my old jewelry. I booked an appointment with Chris on fairly short notice, the staff was all incredibly kind and welcoming. Chris had multiple options for me in regards to my nose piercing and incredibly fair pricing. He made us feel welcome and safe in a city that is not our own and my nose piercing is better than ever! Clean shop and fairly priced. Definitely recommend.

Lisa Janousek

I've got several amazing pieces from several awesome artists at Slave to the Needle! My Best friend and I got matching cactus by Danny Chan. Chest florals and armpit by Amanda Baker. Party Parrot by Daniel Charneski. Bugs and skull on my head by Bruce Rivera. Gummy worm Medusa by Danny Chan. Pink Tummy Tiger by Justin Pino. #tattoo

Ben Scott

Thank you Kali! I had a great time doing my first piercings here. She helped me choose some jewelry, explained all the care instructions and everything very well, and the piercing itself (both earlobes) was fast and almost painless. Would definitely come here in the future if I want another one, or a tattoo down the line.

Hannah Blue

I couldn't be happier with my experience here. I have had multiple tattoos by different artists here and couldn't be more pleased. Everything from scheduling, to consultation, talent, execution,customer service, to payment was easy. There is a reasonable books are blocked for 6 months out. If you are looking for somewhere to go and find quality artists at the top of the craft, This is your spot.

Michael Wheeler

Schedule an appointment. Once your in you're the focus and they'll take great care of you. I never go anywhere else, even for little things like earring backs.

Lindsey Mayhall

Only been here for piercing services but they’re always clean and professional. Great selection of body jewelry and very knowledgeable staff.

Layla Masri

I love this shop for piercings! I’ve gotten my conch and eyebrow done here, but I’m writing this review because I recently got my nipples pierced and that can be a pretty scary piercing. I got them done by Adam and he made the whole experience so comfortable. He was extremely professional, patient when I was nervous (and when I needed a breather after the first piercing), and friendly. 10/10 I cannot recommend him/this shop enough!

Glor a'Lin

Super great experience, everyone who I interacted with was really supportive of my needs as a disabled person in a wheelchair, no discrimination about that - the shop was accessible to me I could get through all of the doors, the only place that had stairs was up to their jewelry gallery, which I didn't need to use... So it was a very very accessible trip for me. The piercer Gracie was fantastic, she was able to get five out of seven piercings tapered open and she listened to me very much when I was talking to her about what I was feeling in terms of how the piercings felt as she was tapering them open. I would absolutely return to the salon again and I encourage others to visit.

B Michelle Johnson

I have gotten a majority of my tattoos here. They're my favorite place. Worth every penny.

Britt E.

Adam the piercer was a warm, kind person and helped my friend and I feel at ease prior to our piercings! He was very helpful and funny, too.

Theo Alness

Got my nose pierced here after years of wanting to, the piercer was helpful and professional and was patient with me as we figured out the exact right location. It's healing great and I'm happy with the result, very glad I went here.

Kelli Nehls

Had both of my nostrils pierced a couple of weeks back and was very pleased with the service and professionalism of the piercer. (I believe his name was Justin.) I was able to make a last minute appt, which is great. Loving the placement and quality opal jewelry that I purchased at my appointment.

Patrick Orr

Great piercing experience, was very detailed and explained the process. Understood when I said not to count down, just tell me when to breath. Will be back!

babygirl92885

Got my nose pierced by Josh and let me tell you... that man has the touch of a butterfly! Barely hurt! He was friendly, followed all safety/sanitary protocols, was very informative, and made the experience fun! Value was superb for the service and jewelry as well! Will absolutely be returning for more "creative expression" in the future.

Amanda Lyman

Went in today with my partner for a simple paw line memorial tattoo for our cat. Tako was our artist and was a breeze to work with! He took both the imprint of her paw and a sketch done from it and converted it into a nice solid outline. Worked quickly and gently. The final result is very clean and beautiful.

Lisa D

Needed to swap out a piercing. Fast, friendly, easy. Will definitely go back!

Sydney Smythe

A few months ago I got piercings done by Josh and he was wonderful! Definitely one of the best experiences I've had, we joked around and cleared the nervous air. I went back to check if they were healing correctly last month and they got me in the next day to do a little check up, no charge for the appointment. He answered all my questions and made sure I knew how to properly care for them.Great place!

bish bosh (bishy)

I got an industrial cartilage piercing with Josh. He made sure I was comfortable and relaxed before getting set up for the piercing. He had a very good sense of my comfort level and didn't try to rush through things. The piercings placement is perfect and Josh walked me though all of the care info so everything has been healing up great. The whole studio is bright and clean and feels really inviting. I will definitely be going back for any future piercings!

selina nichols

Initially waited 3 months for my piercing appointment. They called and cancelled the hour of my appointment. The appointment was rescheduled for 3 weeks later. I'm bummed 😔 the employees deserve to take days off when needed!!! Wish I could have been rescheduled for the same week. I don't really like leaving stars as a review, so I just gave them an average 3, I'm not really sure how to rate someone on a star scale, just here to share my experience.

Rebecca R

Go see Adam if you need/want something pierced, are looking for new jewelry or simply have a question about ear modification and repairs, they have the most calming, helpful demeanor of any piercer I've ever been around. Can't wait for my next appointment!

Sydney Spencer

A little on the higher price side but excellent staff and easy appointment booking.

Ben Elton

Adam does amazing work, it healed so well and a perfect first tattoo experience

Ken Nesbitt

Professional, friendly, clean lines! Darryl does excellent work, knows his trade, and stayed late to finish the job. This shot is 12 hours post finish.

Christina Hien

Shout out to Josh Noble Olson at the Ballard location for doing my rook piercing today. Scheduling an appointment was easy with a phone call. Due to covid I couldn't have a friend come with me to hold my hand, but Josh was thorough with explaining each step he was doing and was definitely experienced. So my nervousness went away as we chit chatted. Make sure you tell them if you have an iodine allergy! I think the pricing is very comparable to other places (I paid $87.50 before tip for the piercing, a fancy colored jewelry, and large bottle of saline spray). He took great care to make sure his station was clean, changed his gloves multiple times when necessary, and I didn't even cry. Absolutely love my piercing!

Kelly Martin

Great place for ink or piercing. I've done both here, and very happy with the work done, their customer service is great and everyone is very adherent to Covid precautions, mask wearing, and all proper sanitation practices.

Gabe Casselman

I have gotten all three of my small pieces here and couldn't have asked for better service. Place is clean, professional, and full of artists of many styles. I've gotten my tattoos with Justin at Ballard and he's been very thorough and he strives to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone.

Rachel Harris

I got my septum and philtrum pierced by Adam and experience was fantastic. He was very helpful and had detailed answers to every question I had. He was also very friendly and calm. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for new piercings.

Melissa Barnes

I came in from out of town and they were able to pre-schedule my tattoo over the phone a month in advance which was really helpful. I worked with Danny Chan who did my tattoo. He was very informative and did an amazing job. I will be back next time I’m in town to get more work done!

Janine Denney-Mazzilli

Okay wow. I’m blown away by the cleanliness and medical-oriented piercing procedures. I got a helix from Josh and he was friendly and so honest. I asked if he thought I could fit a third piercing and he said no - I appreciated that he didn’t say yes to get money and actually looked at my ears. He helped me choose jewelry and it was fast and simple. Cannot recommend this spot enough!

melvin gruschow

the work is dynamite i love my artist and I'll be getting work from him in the near future. the staff cares about covid, and i felt taken care of and safe there. the 1 star deduction is only because sometimes its hard to get someone on the phone even calling a couple times in a row during work hours, in order to plan an appointment. if i could only remove half a star, i would.

Audrey Albini

Love the tattoo I got here. Professional, clean shop. Lines were clean, great blending and it has aged well, I got my tattoo here 2 years ago, wanted to wait to see how it aged. But we're all good, great tattoo. I also got a tattoo from the other slave to the needle location, also great.

Abi M

Scheduled an appointment over the phone to get my upper lobes pierced. When I arrived, I just had to fill out some paperwork and then got to choose my jewelry. They have a wide selection to choose from!! Ben was my piercer. He explained the process and answered any questions I had. Sterile instruments were used. Will definitely be returning here for any other future piercings and maybe even tattoos~

Charles Miller

I've been tattooed and pierced here and they're always extremely friendly. They do great work! They walk you through everything if it's your first time and they keep everything clean, very professional. I've never had a bad experience here. Adam Fox, Amanda Baker, and Justin Ellis were the wonderful people I worked with and I would come back in a heartbeat!

Megan Ries

This place is the top rated tattoo parlor in Seattle, and they rightfully deserve that title. They are so great at what they do. I went here for my first tattoo 5 years ago, I was very nervous, trying to find the right place who wouldn't mess it up or do crooked lines but I gave them a drawing of mine to do and it is perfect. Went here again recently for angel/devil wing on my shoulders, I gave them some images to make something original and it was perfect, it was better than what i had pictured! They are very talented artists, and very nice even through my cringing! I've heard people say "they're expensive" but I think they charge fairly, both wings together were about $600, including the $100 deposit at booking time. You pay for quality, they only do great quality tattoos and service. Would recommend them to anybody! They also were able to get me in quickly for the consult and the actual appointment, both times I came here. Overall, they are amazing! Nothing but great things to say! Already planning my next one!

This place is the top rated tattoo parlor in Seattle, and they rightfully deserve that title. They are so great at what they do. I went here for my first tattoo, it was one of my drawings and they did it perfectly. Went here again recently for angel/devil wing on my shoulders, I gave them some images to make something original and it was perfect, it was better than what i had pictured as my tattoo. They are very talented artists, and very nice even though I was cringing quite a bit!

Gino

Great professionalism. Got a re-piercing, and the staff made me feel really comfortable. They were super friendly, and I was out of there soon after walking in (for my appointment).

PandaMan21086

First off mad shout out to my artist Adam Fox for giving me an amazing tattoo and the rest of the staff for being so awesome. The shop itself is very well kept and sanitary to the T. I made the mistake and went to their other location on accident and had the awkward conversation which I insisted I had an appointment there. Lucky for me I guess it's a common occurance and she did me the favor of calling and letting the other shop know I'm on the way. My only complaint would be price but really let's be honest a good tattoo costs money and they are indeed artists. I'll definitely be returning when I figure out my next ink.

Jennifer Bender

Danny “One Shot” Chan did my latest tattoo and I just wanted to hug him after. Really tho from start to finish it was the smoothest process from the initial inquiry with helpful/friendly front staff to walking out the door after being poked several times. 😁 I will absolutely return for more art. …

Kirk Rose

Took my son in for ear piercings and the artist was nice, considerate, and full of information. Went smoothly and better than expected! Couldn't be happier.

Thomas Kim

Danny is a pro Gave me exactly what I wanted Did it quick too

Tessa Nania

I've had a few piercings done here, and I've always had a great experience! I recently got my daith pierced by Adam, and he was so kind and professional. He did a great job, I love how it turned out! Thank you!

Cameron Kaye

I had a friend get a tattoo here recently, and they loved it so I decided to go! Went there for two piercings, as a walk in on the middle of a Thursday. Everyone was super friendly and made me feel welcome. This was my first piercing, and Adam did an amazing job both doing the piercing itself and making sure I was 100% okay the entire process. Plus, this place seems to have higher sanitation standards than any hospital in the area. If you’re even just curious, stop in and talk to them! (By the way, you’re not getting your $15 nipple piercing here, you’re paying for a QUALITY, well done piercing.)

Rachel K

Justin pierced my nipples a couple weeks ago, and it was an amazing experience! I've heard a few horror stories from other people who have had their nipples pierced incorrectly (never healed, ect.), and I can comfortably say that you will not have that experience here! Making my appointment was super easy, the staff were welcoming, and they had a lot of options for jewelry. Justin was incredibly friendly and took his time, making sure that I was happy with the placement. It was fun to be pierced by someone who absolutely loves their job. We were laughing and chatting the entire way through the piercing process. I have had zero issues post-piercing. I followed his directions for cleaning and maintenance, and my nipples are healing beautifully. No crusties; no infection; no more swelling! I give most of the credit to Justin on that one because placement and what glands the piercing goes through is a large determinant in how the nipples heal (I have a friend whose piercing was placed deeper into the breast tissue, and they never healed). Thanks again for the amazing experience! I would highly recommend this shop. A proper piercing is well worth the price!

Stephanie Light

My kiddo came here for ear piercings with Ben. He is FANTASTIC. I can't say enough positive things about our experience. Obviously, Slave is a really clean, welcoming, and reputable place but Ben really impressed me with his patience and kindness. He took time to explain things to my kiddo when they were scared and he was very professional and friendly. If you or your kiddo is nervous about piercings, he's definitely a great person to go see.

Christopher Gleeson

Easily one of the very best shops in Seattle for tattoo. Honest Jon did an absolutely *outstanding* job on a tribute half sleeve on my left arm, that I got for my father who is fighting stage 4 brain/stomach cancer. My father was absolutely thrilled when he saw the tattoo. Jon is a 25 year tattoo veteran who does better work on a bad day, than 90% of tattoo artists do on their best days. He is absolutely worth the 6-9 month wait. I get stopped on an almost daily basis by total strangers who want to ask me where I got this tattoo done...that is a testament to the level of Jon's work. He is now doing the rest of my right arm and I could not be happier. Every time I go in for a session, he amazes me with the quality and speed of his work. He gets more done in a 3 hour session than many other artists are able to do in five hours, and at a level of quality that is really insane. If you want a tattoo that you will love for the rest of your life: Do it right. Pick a great artist at a great shop like this one, and wait for them to become available. You will not regret it.

Ember Reese

I've been to many shops and I can say this is, by far, the most professional shop I have ever been to. My friend got her nostril pierced, and I my septum. We saw Josh and he was absolutely amazing. Aside from being super knowledgeable and professional, he was extremely personable as well. They cleaned the needle and jewelry right in front of us as the autoclave was right there in the room with us. Hands down the cleanest shop I've ever been in. I *highly* recommend this shop, and Josh!

makaya rivers

Amazing work! Got my sleeve done by Darryl it came out great best prices for quality work.

Morgan Robles

Worked with Kali who helped me get started on stretching my ear lobes. Love their professionalism, absolutely coming back for more piercings.

Cokey

Amazing shop! I made a same-day appointment over the phone to be pierced by Adam and everything went perfectly. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, Adam walked me through every part if the piercing process, from picking jewellery to finishing up with the healing instructions. Completely sanitary environment. I will definitely return here to be pierced again!

Amy Kidd

I walked in knowing what I wanted. I met with one artist (Jon, I believe) who ended up not having any available appointments on the day I needed. He was wonderful and he referred me to Abby, who was able to meet my needs as far as her availability. I totally appreciated her honest opinion/thoughts on my tattoo idea. She spent a lot of time going over her ideas. Completely trusting her as an artist, I choose to change the location of my tattoo from my arm to my shoulder (based on her suggestion and reasoning). I ABSOLUTELY love it! She did an awesome job and I'm very thankful to have had her. I will be forever thankful for this tattoo!! :)

Krista Garrett

Very knowledgeable and helpful, also great teamwork. My friend and I came in late one night as walk-ins for piercing and although they weren't able to take us that night Adam answered all our questions and we were able to schedule with Justin for the next evening. Justin did a great job and was a pleasure to chat with during the process. All their piercers are members of the Professional Piercers' Association. I highly recommend them for your piercing needs!

Murray Sampson

I've had three tattoos done here, by two different artists. I'm thrilled with all three. I gave them my general ideas for what I wanted and the art they provided is PERFECT. For the two I got from Honest Jon he also helped me figure out where best to put them. On my left arm we discussed how to do the piece in a style that would work where I wanted it, and on my right he suggested an alternate location to what I had originally thought that I ended up liking a lot better. It's little pieces of advice like that that go the extra mile. The process went smoothly all three times it went more quickly than I expected. The facilities are great, too. Very clean, welcoming, and well maintained. There's a reason this place was recommended to me by so many people. Very glad I chose Slave to the Needle for my tattoos, and if I ever decide

Alixx Almstedt

Every time I go to Slave to the Needle, I'm greeted by welcoming, friendly, and professional people. When I went in this weekend, my piercer stayed calm and calmed me down, pierced me with seasoned efficiency, and also consulted me on a different piercing I'd been having a bad reaction to. He even explained that I can call or stop by if I have questions or need advice on any of my piercings - other shops have felt like I was bothering them with questions, but everyone here loves helping! I can't wait for my piercing to heal, too, because their jewelry selection is classy and cool, and I want one of everything!

Theodore “Hazel” Lamb

I've gotten all my piercings done here. The shop is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Especially fun are the paintings by the artists hung on the walls. Staff are knowledgeable and happy to teach and explain anything you could ever want to know about piercing. All jewelry is internally threaded, and piercers are members of the APP.

Peter Tang

Writing this on behalf of my friend (who doesn't have an account): I got my second and third lobes (on both ears) done with Justin, and I was so impressed! I was super ultra nervous since I am very afraid of both needles and pain, but Justin was kind and understanding and walked me through every step thoroughly so that I had a good understanding of exactly what to expect. He was meticulously careful when drawing the placement of the holes to make sure that they lined up, and was very kind when I asked for one of them to be slightly moved. The actual procedure was very fast, and relatively painless (of course minus the moment the needle goes through). Justin was very gentle and I could barely even feel it when the new jewelry was put in. He also helped me with regaining my composure after the adrenaline rush from piercing ended. I am so pleased with my new piercings and will absolutely come back once I decide on where I want my next piercing!

Sholeh Sharif

great place for tattoos & piercings! i’ve gotten a couple of tattoos here and they have both turned out so well. nice clean lines and they healed great! i’ve also gotten a few piercings here (nose, helix, 2nd lobe) and they’re perfect. easy & quick healing process too. also, everyone who works here is so nice and i’ve enjoyed getting to know them. i will be back!

Yann Riche

Canne toi thé slave and the needle for my first tattoo, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Stacey M

I got my septum pierced here. The gentleman who did is was great and did a fantastic job. I was very comfortable with him and the store, the ambiance all around. Everyone was friendly. I was able to get a titanium clicker anodized which really customized my jewelry and I absolutely love it. They carry very high quality jewelry for affordable prices. I highly recommend this place.

Jena L. Heath

Clean, on-time appointment, with lots of jewelry options for piercings. I went for a basic lobe piercing on a repaired ear. Josh was friendly, professional, practiced perfect hygiene throughout the appointment, and most importantly, was technically skilled. Excellent appointment; I highly recommend.

Sarah Brauneis

Hands down the best experience I have had getting a piercing. Went with two friends; one getting cartilage and the other her nose. We were made comfortable and confident with the process. I got my conch (middle area of the ear) pierced and am loving how it turned out. Each piercing placement was thought out and confirmed with us. So far there is minimal tenderness. I am thoroughly impressed in Slave to the Needle. Thank you for taking your time and treating us like friends!

lindsey beadle

Attention parents of minor children who are looking for a clean, careful, and competent piercer of your child's ears (or other parts, I suppose, but I can only speak to earlobes), you don't need to look any further than Adam at Ballard slave to the needle. He's great, spoke to my kid directly and didn't BS her concerns. She's got two straight, centered earrings to show for it. I highly recommend Adam specifically and STTN generally.

Gregory Asher

Extremely friendly staff helped us out with a piercing issue that they did 5 years ago. Welcomed us in right away and took a look and resolved the problem immediately. I love this place and the people inside. If you have any questions about or just playing with the idea of getting a tattoo or piercing done come here and ask. They'll happily help and answer everything without pressuring you whatsoever.

Kitten Freeman

My boyfriend and I checked this place and one other shop out, before making our appointment. One of the piercers took the time to answer any questions my boyfriend had, as he had been wanting to get his nipples pierced for the past 10 years. When we came to get both of ours done, we were taken very well care of by Justin Ellis. He was obviously very passionate about his work, and he was very accommodating to all our questions and needs! Slave~ also has a huge selection of beautiful jewelry, which we had the pleasure of viewing before our session began. Compared to the other shops we researched, Slave To The Needle appeared to be well established for all our piercing and possibly tattoo needs. We are definitely looking forward to coming back

Kate A.

BEST piercing experience ever! Justin Ellis is AMAZING. He totally put me at ease, and was very attentive and informative throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with the end result -- it looks fantastic! When I'm ready for my next piercing, I'm making the trip to Seattle to see Justin.

Karen Klinefelter

I had to park around the block and up the street, because it was around 6 pm on a weekday during rush hour, in a poorly lit neighborhood. Hehe. But other than that, the actual shop is very visible from the street and accessible. My piercer, Josh, was really friendly and professional. The vibe in this place is really laid back and welcoming. I even got a lollipop afterward because I was a little light-headed after getting my piercings done. I'll definitely come back here for future piercings. :)

Kayla Seamster

The best piercers around! I love how comfortable they have made me feel. I've gotten my chest dermals & nose pierced here & a lot of jewelry changes. The guys are knowledgeable, efficient & honest! I totally appreciate their opinions and advice. They also have an awesome selection of high quality jewelry that is reasonably priced. I won't go anywhere else for my piercing care.

Hannah Charron-Wilde

I had such a great experience today getting my first two cartilage piercings with Justin. I was so nervous! But he talked me through every step and was so professional and kind. Definitely recommend!

Bri Milot

My friend and I went here to get piercings done. I got my ears pierced and my friend got her nose pierced. I'm nervous around needles and I was getting my ears re-pierced after a terrible piercing job done when I was younger. They were fantastic. They were professional, kind, and understanding. It was a really positive experience, and I highly recommend them.

I picked this place by google/yelp reviews and man, did I make the right decision. Got my nose pierced by Adam and he was amazing! Super quick and fast while he got exactly what I wanted. Adam was very supportive and communicated well, while making me feel comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend going to Slave to the Needle and seeing Adam for any of your piercing needs!

Beth Cantrell

Disclaimer: I've never had a tattoo here though I followed many of your artists. That being said, their piercing staff has always been professional and awesome, whether I've wanted to trade out old jewelery for something awesome in their large selection or just put something simple in an old piercing with old boring jewelery. Never a creepy experience here- always amazing and professional

busydiva

Best tatt spot and perfect piercings.... So experienced. Love my whimsical unicorn 🦄 …

Antonina Lovyn

I had an amazing experience here! Came in for piercings and Ben was so great! He made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend this place if you want high quality work done.

Aerin Hackley

Super professional, good distancing guidelines that only have you in contact with 1 employee your entire visit, and everyone's wearing masks and gloves; a proper COVID-19 response. Josh got my tiddy piercings done quickly, walked me through all the aftercare, and sent me on my way with some adorable new jewelry! I'll definitely be going back. If it's still pandemic season when you go, make an appointment - Slave to the Needle is requiring them at the moment.

Tifa

There are so many insanely talented artists here, and my experiences have all been extremely positive. The good folks at the front desk are also superduper appreciated, they're all super nice and happy to work with you (which really helped with first time jitters, when I needed that).

Lynn Norman

This was my first piercing. Justin was great. Very truthful. Ended with 3 piercings. Pretty cool. For an old fart I think it was the best. Couldn’t have asked for more. Called and got right in. Will definitely go back. Recommend by two people, my daughter being one. They were right on. Don’t know why I waited so long. Didn’t even cry!

Thomas Steward

As a first time tattoo getter a few months ago, I knew from the reputation that it has that I would be going to Slave to the Needle-but I was still incredibly nervous. I thought walking into a tattoo shop would be much more intimidating and that I would feel out of place-and I was very pleasantly surprised! Everyone I encountered and especially my artist was so friendly, and I was immediately put at ease. I LOVE the work-who knows, maybe ill be back for another ☺ Great tattoo shop.

Bobbi

Got my vertical labret piercing done here! By far the cleanest, most enjoyable and comfortable experience I've ever had while being stabbed. Would highly reccomend for piercings at least, haven't had a tat done here but will be getting one soon!

Josh Manduchi

Went in with the wife and had a decent idea of what we wanted to get. Nothing super involved but we were lacking on some of the details. The artist met with us and we covered a few things and in the end settled on the next steps. We emailed a few more ideas to incorporate for the base design as requested by the artist. on the day of the tattoo we showed up on time while the artist finally put all those ideas together into sketches, which were great. The actual tattoo process went as well as they ever do. We're both happy with the results, though something in the yellow dye gave me an allergic reaction which is strange because as far as I was aware I'm not allergic to anything.

DR Shepherd

I had my tatts done here 9 years ago and this place is by far the best studio around. Have not found a studio this good since then. Have considered flying back to Seattle just to get more tatts done there just because I have trust in them! Recommend to all

Bridget Whitehurst

Josh did an amazing job on my tragus piercing. Very professional and kind. Talked me through everything and made it a great experience. Will be returning for future piercings. Amazing!

Rachel Heutmaker

They’re a great atmosphere and friendly people. I’ll admit, I can be a bit of a baby, but the pierced just talked me through the whole thing and I was honestly comforted. You know that if I ever decide to get a tattoo or more piercings, Slave to the Needle is always going to be my first choice.

Shyanne Shoemaker

Josh was very informative and comforting during the piercing process(helix). He made sure I understood the healing process along with the Do's and Donts. Would 100% go back

Susie Oakenfold

Want to see the face of a happy girl?! Yeah, that is me! This was my first visit into Slave to the Needle because I was intrigued by the outside of their parlor (even more when I stepped in). Once inside I discovered a bounty of talented artist, friendly staff and truly, a best kept secret mecca for tattooing! I recently got my forth tattoo here, and the experience and quality in art is unparalleled! For all my, and my friends art adventures, I am only recommending that we come here!

Latoya Frazier

Justin is an amazing piercer. He made me feel so comfortable and was so informative. My piercing didn't hurt at all, it was so easy breezy! So glad I went to slave to the needle!

Kelly

This was my fourth stop trying to get my septum pierced and I'm glad my journey landed me here. Josh made it a great experience and I love my new piercing! Thanks to everyone for being awesome, I'll be back for my tattoos!

Sarah Bonck

I have had great experiences here with the piercer. Very attentive and friendly as well as knowledgeable about products and infection control. I really appreciated how they hold cleanliness and sterilization in high regard. It is obvious that they really care about there clientele!

Cheryl Haycox

Josh did an amazing job piercing my daughter's ears. She's 11 and was really scared and anxious, but he walked her through the process and gave her control over when the piercing happened. Love him!

Irina Lavryonova

I got 3 piercings here, two on the earlobe and one rook. The piercings healed very well and were done in exactly the spots that I wanted. I unfortunately do not remember the name of the guy who did my piercings anymore, but it was obvious that he took pride in his work and made sure that I was comfortable.

Jennifer Smull

Had a great experience from start to near finish. Have been hunting for a cover up artist for over a year and Danny didn't disappoint. It's an amazing atmosphere everyone there is amazing!! Thank you guys for making my long wait well worth it!!

Jim Anderson

I really enjoyed my experience at Slave to the needle tattoo here in Seattle. I went to the one on 65th as it has an artist I read about on Seattle weekly. I had some idea of what I wanted but when I sat down with the artist my thoughts and his thoughts turned my body art into something I will happy with the rest of my years. It also fits in with some volunteer projects I do in the community. The artist was skilled like I never thought possible and worked on the art in a way that I can build on it in the future. The tattoo shop was clean, hip and creative. It was a real treat. I made connections that made me feel besides a token friendship that we are all part of a community and have real friends here. Thanks Slave to the needle. This review is for you.

R Dollar Sign

Bruce was my artist and was suuuuuuper comfortable to work with. He was patient, delicate, and let me take the breaks I needed. Great staff all around.

M J

Had a really good experience! Got my nostril pierced by Justin and he was polite and professional. I felt super comfortable in the shop and will definitely come back!

Jon Parks

Best Piercings EVER!!! Great Staff: Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Very Professional!!! I've had 7 Piercings in the past 10 months! All Healed Well without incident!!! Will be Back for More!!!

Lisa Woody

Bruce is awesome, truly. He helped me design a beautiful memorial piece for my father. Very clean and comfortable shop. I'd definitely go back when I'm in town again.

Twin Dragon Studios

I had been to five other piercing places looking to downsize my bridge piercing, it was obvious most other people did not know what they were talking about. I came in and saw Justin yesterday and he instantly got measurements gauge size and found a perfect fit for the downsize. It was also very inexpensive and he was chill af. Don’t go anywhere else!

Molly Onaga

Slave to the Needle is easily one of the cleanest, friendliest, well-run tattoo shops I've had the pleasure to walk into. If you are looking for a Seattle tattoo shop, this really is the best choice-the artists are very talented, and have great vision. I've known quite a few people that have been to Slave the Needle who have all been very happy with their work!

Jacob Yarborough

Know what you want going into it! It's great to ask questions and they dont mind answering but know your stuff and have a basic plan for what piercing/tattoo you want. Prices are good and they have so many options for jewelry!

Bradley Nielsen

Let's talk amazing national reputation while backed by incredible local talent! That is Slave to the Needle for you! Just walk into their shop and you will instantly feel the artistic vibes! Do not be easily seduced by other tattoo parlors and what they claim to offer you. I made one mistake with a different shop a while ago, and it almost turned me away from tattooing for life. However, the talented artist at Slave to the Needle eased my mind and demonstrated the high quality intrinsic artistry that has made me a loyal servant of theirs!

Robin Carroll

Best tattoo shop in Washington State!!! Very professional and clean environment. They do have a minimum of $100 even if you are getting something small, but to get one of the best artist for something that will be with you the rest of your life is well worth it!

Sasha Kemble

Super straightforward and reasonable for a walk-in nose piercing around lunchtime on a Friday in early December. Informative, thorough, and patient with my questions. Happy with the experience and couldn't be more thrilled with my piercing. Thank you!

Julie Machnik

I had a wonderful tattoo experience with a super nice and very talented artist named Adam, who gave good suggestions and did an outstanding job. Thanks again. I love my tattoo!

Britt Clark

Absolutely wonderful shop with knowledgeable staff and great piercers that are swift, precise and professional! I've had my daith, tragus, and gauging/reopening my piercings done here and have nothing but rave reviews and kind words to say about them. Justin and Joshua rock!

Kathleen Bradley

Got an ear piercing with Josh and am so happy with the results. Will be going to see him again for future piercings. Highly recommend!

Hailey Ockinga

Amazing work!!! Almost 2 years later and I still get compliments on my tattoo…looks like it is still new. Can’t wait to get back for more!

Amber Patrick

I am amazed at what talented artists work here! Bruce did my tattoo and I am so pleased with the results! It was my first big tattoo but I was very comfortable! Thank you so much Bruce!

W B

Excellent customer service/atmosphere and killer artists there. Went in on a whim for a Palm tree tattoo. Was able to get in that day. Reasonable prices. Will def be back!

Lauren Woodsman

I have gotten quite a few tattoos over the years and during my travels. I have created a type of mural tattoo on my back that I like to add to whenever I travel to a different country. After multiple recommendations, I went to Slave the Needle finally to start a new design on my right calf. I am really pleased with the work and skill of my artist and I truly look forward to expanding on the design Slave to the Needle got started!

Debbie McClure

I was a walk in and I wanted to have a tribute too my mom in law who is dying of cancer and I wanted a purple hummingbird . They took me right away Bruce you are a WONDERFUL artist and friend NOW. I'LL be BACK. Thank You too the staff also. Best wishes Debbie. 😻 …

Walter Porter

Honest John has been doing work on my arms and back for the past 5 years now. I initially came to him a little tentative – y’know with tattoos being a permanent thing and all – but I completely trust my skin to him. He is a true artist who uses skin as a canvas.

Haley Harvey

I always come here for my tattoos & they never disappoint! Their phone is ringing off the hook due to Covid-19. I am so grateful to be able to get some ink done.

Rob Reid

We went in for a basic 2 lobe piercing for my kiddo. The guy was really great. Explained the whole process. Really took his time. Crazy attention to cleanliness

Victoria Jennings

It takes a while to get on the books but Frank is awesome so I don't mind.

Lilianna “Quinn” R

Holy guacamole getting the right peircer makes a huge difference. The employees here are knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. Im coming here for my next peircings and when i get a tattoo in the future im coming here again. Btw josh is the best. He was patient with my anxiety, answered all my questions, and a week later i still have not experienced any pain or complications with my beautiful peircings.

My experiences with tattoos and piercings at Slave to the Needle (both in Ballard and in Wallingford) have always been really great. The staff is friendly, the artists are talented, and the vibe feels right. This most recent visit was picking up an earring at the Ballard location on fully-booked Sunday. But they found time for me, which was nice of them. And the jewelry is exactly what I wanted it be. Thank y'all for being such a nice set of shops <3

Merritt Lord

Been going here for years for all my tattoos. Professional, clean, and amazing artists.
