Slave to the Needle Tattoo & Body Piercing

Came to do a consultation for my husbands tattoo sleeve and see “must have mask to enter”
EVEN THO NO MASK MANDATE IS IN EFFECT. would have gladly spent hundreds here but will now take our business elsewhere. What a JOKE.

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~

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!

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!

***CUSTOMER SERVICE RATING -- FAIL*** Taking a friend's referral, I went in for a minor supply purchase. The know-nothing nitwit at the reception desk couldn't do or figure out anything solution oriented. I gave several chances, and NOPE. I walked out of this UN-American shop as she repeated the inability of simple service. I'll be happy to take my opinion of STTNeedle to others and my business elsewhere -- frankly, I've never experienced anything akin this level of unprofessional conduct from other shops. If STTNeedle actually sees and responds to this, don't reply "Please give us another chance" ... re-read above, I already did, I'm done with you. PS -- There's better flash art scratched into dive-bar toilet stalls.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
