Eastlake Tattoo

I've gotten 9 tattoos here over the past few years from both Mike and Tascar, including my very first tattoo. Outstanding service and a very relaxing atmosphere. One of my tattoos from Mike won 3rd place in the "Black and Grey" contest at the 2017 Seattle Tattoo Expo. 3 of my friends have started getting tattooed here as well after seeing the quality of the work. Bottom line: If you want outstanding work, go to Eastlake Tattoo!

Crisp lines, chill atmosphere, and amazing artist, overall worth every penny and second. Michael was very attentive and easy to work with from concept to execution. He was willing to hear out my request and work with me on realistic expectations for the piece I wanted (unlike some other shops I had visited that wanted me to increase the size of the tattoo from an inner forearm piece to a whole thigh or back for it to be more 'doable'). Literally was willing to make it all work when other's said it couldn't be done, which should attest to his skills and willingness to work with his customers. I strongly recommend setting aside a whole day and to be open minded when discussing the piece you want as his inputs are thoughtful and considerate. Email and phone are nice, but it's always better to visit the store in person. Supporting staff is great too and made for some fun conversations during the process. Good luck and for sure, no ragrets from me.

Meets and exceeds expectations! My wife and I showed-up wanting a paired tattoo. We had a couple vague ideas (mandala, matching triangle geometry), and with little direction Michael ran with the idea, coming back with designs so rad we couldn’t have dreamed of. Putting the 90% conceptual development in his hands was not a disappointment! Fantastic artist. An artist I have comfort with taking the wheel and putting his own style into whatever idea you have. We are both beyond excited to build-out future projects with Michael. I haven’t had a tattoo that has healed this cleanly. His level of professionalism and care taken to ensure the tattooing and healing process was an added bonus! As was his excellent vibes. 😎
