Reviews of Seattle Tattoo Emporium (Tattoo Shop)

EK Powell

Great place. I went here for my first tattoo ever. Everyone was really awesome. After looking through the portfolios I decided to get tattooed by Hubba. He was amazing, I talked to him about what I wanted and texted him some pictures and he figured it out quickly, set up an appointment and put it on me. I'm really happy with how the doe came together and he managed to make it look like it was made out of light. Great experience I'd recommend this shop and Hubba to anyone looking to get their first or 20th piece done!

I stopped here during a long layover in Seattle. Even though I had a limited amount of time, they were really accommodating. Eric started his shift early to meet with me. He offered very thorough info as to what I should expect the tattoo to look like (due to its placement on the underside of my hand) and my color options. Super professional, relaxed, and friendly! A+

My best friend and I came in here on a spontaneous mood and wanted to get flash tattoos. We gave our artist an idea and he did some magic. I live in Tacoma, but next time I’m coming down here for more serious projects!!

The two artists we got to work with us were both kind and professional. It was my son's first tattoo so that meant a lot to me. Clean place. Positive experience all around

A solid tattoo shop with a long history in Seattle. Custom and walk in work. The artists are friendly and receptive, you will love what you walk away with. Parking is bad, take the train.

Deborah Armstrong-Winkler

Hubba hubba is an amazing artist and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get new ink.

Chloe Baskin-Arboleda

Got a walk in tattoo here Monday. Everyone was super friendly and nice. Very comfortable and non-judgey atmosphere. Very clean. The artist was great, friendly and helpful. I love my tattoo. It’s healing super fast and really well. I’m from the east coast but next time I visit I’ll definately be going back!

Amanda

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Great place!! They worked with us on the fly during our short stay in Seattle. Rob and Jimmy were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Amazing talent and I’ll be back if I make my way to Seattle again. Three of us went in and all three of us came out extremely satisfied! Amazing place and great people. Highly highly recommend these guys!!!

Anthony Urga

What do I say the work is very good.

I only go to Seattle Tattoo Emporium for my piercings. They are amazing and very professional and haven't have any issue with my piercings.

I have been coming to Hubba Hubba for years and will not go to anyone else! I found him by accident and stuck with him because he was so light handed and talented, as well as a great personality!

This place in phenomenal. Two others and myself have traveled to Seattle twice in the last two years and both times we’ve stopped into this shop. We are 6 for 6 on being extremely satisfied with our tattoos. I have seen Rob for both of mine. The two he’s done are phenomenal pieces, I get compliments all the time on my first one. Had the second done Wednesday and have already had a couple people stop me to ask where it was done. He works very hard to give you a product that fits where you want it, looks great, and won’t deteriorate over time. My next trip to Seattle I will definitely be back.

Dirt and Death

Clean prolific shop. A lot of history. Killer artists.

Mikayla Joy Walker

Fantastic tattoo parlor. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. I have two traditional-rose tattoos from Hubba Hubba. He's an absolute character. Will definitely be going back!

Phil Dirt

Been getting tattoos from Kenneth for... A long time, since he was starting at Custom Tattoo under the monorail. Great work!

Adam Nayakik

Great place to get a tattoo!

James Phaby

Great staff and awesome vintage art. Jimmy is the best.

Lindsay Deal

These guys are hands down amazing. Rob did a tattoo for both my sister and I, while Jimmy worked on a piece for my dad. These guys are absolutely amazing, they worked with us super fast and were patient while we decided what to do. We told them what we wanted and all 3 pieces turned out way beyond what we expected. If your looking to get a piece done, go see this guys. You will not be disappointed.

Michael Toris

What an awesome experience. I went asking about a sleeve and the guys were open and honest about everything. How big it would have to be, how many hours and how much it would cost. They never waivered or waffled to try to sell me on something that would suck. I ended getting a custom American traditional shark done by Daniel Skillingstead and it is fantastic

In October I came here looking to get a lip tattoo. I called before coming in to make sure someone could do that for me. After being told they could do it, I came in and had “no ragrets” tattooed. When he told me it was done I got up to go look. My first impression of it was that it was very VERY bad handwriting. Of course I couldn’t expect that much because after all, it was a joke lip tattoo. But, it was to the point where it was barely legible. But, it only got worse when I closed my mouth. I was mortified. He managed to do such a terrible job that you could see the end letters with my mouth closed. It looked like I had a black lip ring! (But hey no ragrets right) After I told him about it, he went over it again with something that would supposedly make it go away in a few days. He ended up not charging me for his bad mistake and I left. A few days later, I was still waiting for the outside portion of it to go away... 3 months later and it is still here!! In his defense part of it did fade, but not quite the right part. What was originally “no ragrets” faded to “ragrets” (haha) Moral of the story, be careful of what they tell you they can do for you here. You don’t want to end up with a permanent lip ring look like me!

Lauren Anderson

Fantastic customer service and I always get compliments on my tattoo.

Vi Potal

Clean, and a super friendly staff, quality work is done here! Very professional! Daniel did a great job on my zippo lighter tattoo commemorating my time in Afganistan I saw first hand a tattoo artist take a person around the shop to show all the art work! It is a museum after all. He was knowledgable too! Great job!

Willow Hickey

First time visiting Seattle, WA and getting a tattoo was on the to-do list. I did my research and discovered Seattle Tattoo Emporium, which was one of the best tattoo places I’ve been to. Artists were helpful, kind and has beautiful handword/artwork, not to mention the staff were very welcoming. 15/10 would recommend.

Alexander Clackett

Amy Harding

I go back to WI with my very small but extremely meaningful tattoo from my visit to Seattle. I am so happy to have found this place! Everyone was so kind. Rob, thank you for your patience and kindness. You simply have no idea how much this little tattoo of my dad’s last heartbeat means! ❤️

Kaitlyn Fraser

My friend and I came to Seattle for a girls weekend. I was wanting a tattoo and found these guys on the web! The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. They welcome walk-ins and are artistically inclined to whip up something on the spot! I highly recommend these fellows - whether you're wanting a large or small piece done, its worth it!
