Laughing Buddha Seattle

I’m as regular a client can be to a tattoo studio and I’ve been to 24 other studies between Portland and Everett. Always greeted kindly by front of house staff, always listened to, always taken care of, always delighted by the outcome. Bella has tattooed me twice and Khwezi has tattooed me 13 times in projects from small to large to re-dos including a full coverup on my husband. This is the place I send people.

Appointment only. Door is locked and you must check in online to be let in which is nice safety but didn’t feel great waiting alone outside in the dark. Very clean lobby, waiting area, and studio. Almost creepy nightmare fuel with the concrete walls, no windows, minimal furniture and bright lights. My piercer was LJ. Very nice and personable. Calm and quick with the piercing and switching out jewelry. 4 stars because of the pricing. Way overpriced. I have over 15 piercings and tattoos sleeves. It was $200 for one piercing, 3 pieces of the cheapest jewelry available, and for him to change two piercings. They also make it confusing because they charge separately for the two pieces per one piercing for the flat backs.

I’ve gotten 2 tattoos from Bella and have had amazing experiences both times. I will be back! I’m in love with my tattoos.❤️🥰 she’s the best!
