Reviews of Hidden Hand Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Kelli Slater

The guys kinda seemed a little douchey. I like the place just not into the I'm so cool attitudes.

Barry Rolapp

Best tattoo experience I've had so far.

Angelina Marmorato

Awesome shop. Highly recommend Rempe

Alexander Grimaudo

I had an awesome experience here. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff is super friendly. Neat location right in the heart of Fremont. My artist was Chad Ronilo, who I cannot recommend highly enough. He was able to fit me in just a few days in advance, warn me about the limitations of the design I wanted, and was able to make helpful recommendations. His art is top-notch, and he's a super friendly guy. Also, the staff had a solid music playlist going.

Only got some linework done here and the artist was rude, patronizing, and unpleasant over all. To do just linework on my arm, i had to lay down and stay perfectly still, or else he'd stop all together and scold me. Conversation was awkward, as he said 2 things to me the entire session (excluding scolding and introductions), and he was 25 minutes late because he had to take a "smoke break." His name is Chad and he is the sole reason why I will never return to this shop. The 2 stars are just for the general ambiance of the store. One bad artist shouldn't ruin the entire store.

Was excited to get work done by one of their artists and they called out on my appointment more than once. Glad to take my money and continuing service to an artist who will appreciate the business.

After having bad experiences at several other shops I found Hidden Hand. After looking at their website and portfolios I determined that I wanted to get a tattoo done by Jeff. I sat down with him for 20 minutes and explained what I wanted. I had some scheduling issues that the shop"s management staff handled promptly and professionally. Jeff delivered fantastic art work that incorporated everything I wanted and more ideas which I loved. My tattoo was a partial cover up and memorial tattoo. The tattoo Jeff delivered was so thoughtful that when I saw it for the first time I was in tears. My family, friends and I could not believe the art he was able to produce. Thank you Jeff. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

I love this tattoo shop! Friendly staff, knowledgeable, NOT SKEEZY. April gave me a beautiful black and grey mandala tattoo. Great work, I will be returning again soon!

Joseph Sample

My wife got exactly what she wanted. So cool.

Garrigan Lyman

Jeff does unbelievable work. This was definitely one of the best tattoos experiences I've had. My daughter has her 18th birthday coming up and wants to get her first tattoo and Hidden Hand is where I'll bring her.

Got my first Tattoo ever with Jamie last week. My wife and I went in with an idea for a Celtic cross and some numbers on my right wrist. Jamie helped us pick the perfect design. The tattoo was on in about an hour. Looks perfect. Jamie is a stoic, detailed artist. Not a lot of chit chat once hes focused in which was great. I just watched a movie on my iphone and trusted him to get it done. Great shop, great artist, great vibe, great tattoo. If I need another, I know where to go.

April is fantastic! She clearly comes from an art background, so gorgeous, so personable, and isn't afraid to tell you what will look best on your frame. I'm so grateful for her input and expertise. Can't say enough about Jeff and Marco too!!! Jeff is taking on my cover up which is no easy task. The whole crew is worth getting to know. Don't let your skin go to anyone else <3

I paid $40 for Roni to draw a sketch of a mermaid before tattooing it. I gave her one picture for the face and another picture for the body. The face was supposed to be drawn with a half smile while the original picture had a pout. The sketch Roni drew had the body of the picture that was supposed to be used for the face only! Her idea of a half smile was the original pouting lips with curves on the edges, kinda like the Joker in Batman. I nicely asked her to start over, and she told me to take my pictures and go elsewhere. She was quite rude, and both she and owner Jeff Cornell refused to refund even a portion of my money. The picture of the face I provided was computer animated and perfectly symmetrical. Roni's sketch was glaringly asymmetrical. I chose Roni because I particularly liked 2 tattoos in her book. I later saw 1 of these 2 tattoos in a portfolio at another tattoo shop! Unless you want something simple or a copy of a picture, don't use Roni. If a customer has a problem, the owner's attitude is, I don't care.

I stopped by on a whim when I was staying in Fremont, and was able to get a next day appointment with Marco. The shop has an incredibly welcoming vibe, and I was immediately impressed by how clean, bright, and personable the space is. I gave Marco my idea(s), and he said he would get something drawn up for me. When I arrived for my appointment I fell in love with what he had drawn up.... It was better than what I had in mind! He was very efficient and professional, and I left so stoked on my new ink. I'd highly recommend this shop, and intend to go back on my next Seattle visit!!

Martha Marin

Jamie King gave me a fabulous traditional tattoo of a gypsy woman and roses. The tattoo turned out great and he was really nice. David the desk guy was also awesome. I love my new tattoo!

Worked with Jeff Cornell on a quarter sleeve on my arm from concept to execution and was absolutely amazed by the results. Recommended to anyone who wants an incredible piece from an artist who wants to see your idea come alive.

Leesa Levesque

Amazing artists. Very clean. Great atmosphere.

JC DS

Very cool place. Literally hidden. Located in the back of pelmeni dumpling restaurant, alley entrance. Once you find it, you'll be pleased with the art you receive. Friendly staff too.

Elliot Wallace

Got my first three tattoos here and April did a fantastic job! She was super aware about the placement of my tattoos and helped me find the perfect spot for each of them. Everyone there was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend this tattoo shop over any Slave to the Needle shop.

Beau Pedraza

Jeff is excellent at his trade. There are others who are great, but there is only one Jeff Cornell. Will return.

Randy Savage

Great artists, helpful staff

Emma A

I can't say enough good things about this tattoo shop. To start, the atmosphere is beautiful and has many varied and unique decorations, not to mention friendly staff working there. I got my tattoo done by Marco Sullivan. The design is of two large rose blooms, both on my left side, beginning by my armpit and wrapping around down to my left hip/stomach area, connected by black line swirls. The tattoo is more beautiful than I could have imagined. Marco is truly an artist. If I ever get any work done again, it will be here.

Stephanie Young

I have been going to Jeff Cornell for a few years. He did a large back piece for me that I could not be happier with. Very talented man!

Andrea Tez

A huge thanks to Hidden Hand Tattoo for being so easy to work with. They answer their emails in a timely fashion and really work with you. I got my very first tattoo about a year ago and Andre turns out that I didn't probably takes the best care of it. There were faded areas and it needed a good touch up. When I called to schedule my appointment for the touch up (of my relatively small tat) I was informed that touch ups can be done for free within 6 months and I was near the year mark since I had gotten it. When I arrived at my appointment my artist was friendly and asked lots of questions about how I cared for it previously and felt bad and apologized. I was given a lot of instructions on how to properly care for my tattoo during the healing process and when I went to go pay for the touch up they told me it was on the house! You don't get much for free in Seattle so I was super thankful for their generosity and kindness, especially since it was a tattoo in memory of a lost loved one.

Meghan Maynard

60 hours under the hand of Jeff Cornell, full back piece and half sleeve later. So freaking happy with every aspect of my experience. Highly recommended.

Thomas Wood

Amazing artists here! Wyatt did my tattoo, just line work and he has such a steady hand and has great input! Definitely will be coming back here when I need my next addition.

Michelle Lofing

We went to the shop today and waited in the lobby for over 20 mins. No one ever acknowledged us.... not a good first impression and not a good way to run a business.

Nadia P.

Marco did a couple of script tattoos for me and they were both incredible. Super nice staff overall and he did excellent work.

Ramon Weaver

This is my second time to get tattoo here, staffs are very friendly and helpful, specially, A thump up to Michael who did my tattoo, I would recommend him and you won't disappointed.

T.S. Lewis

Love this place. Mr. Tidwell has done great work for me on three occasions. This is the only place I will go for any future ink.

Emily B

got my fourth tattoo done here. Shop was friendly and played a great selection of music. The painting on the ceiling was the highlight for me. Well done. Will definitely come back.
