West Seattle Tattoo

This is another, extremely belated review for Julie Sas, who I worked with a second time to create another tattoo! The two appointments it took to complete the piece were in January and February 2021.

This design was based on one that was part of one of her 90s object flash sheets. Someone else got the original off the sheet, but Julie was willing to draw up another version of that same object per my requested size specs and color palette. As with the first piece, this one was a perfect fit for my body (top of the foot) and looks amazing in its final and several-months-healed form.

As in my last review, everything about the shop was comfortable, clean, and according to industry standards. Julie had the design printed and ink poured in advance, and she took great care to get the stencil positioned correctly on my foot. The shop is still following its COVID-19 protocol (temperature checks & a separate waiver) in addition to its normal check in procedures. The space remains clean and well ventilated, and both artists and clients are still wearing masks correctly.

Here's the kicker and another reason I'm enthusiastic about writing a second review for this gem of an artist. The tattoo is about 3" x 4", so quite small, but it is in a particularly painful area (again, top of the foot). The thing I want to emphasize in this review is how unbelievably patient and accommodating Julie was throughout this multi-session (!) tattoo. We got the lines done on the first go, and my very average pain tolerance and I had to tap out because ladies and gentlemen, having the top of your foot tattooed is NO JOKE. NO JOKE AT ALL.

Julie was very understanding and was willing to schedule a second appointment to get the color completed. She also gave a recommendation to use a topical anesthetic cream (Dr. Numb) several hours in advance of the second appointment to reduce the pain, which did seem to help. We got the color completed during the second session, the tattoo healed just fine and with no complications, and now I have yet another beautiful piece completed by Julie Sas!

Despite this one being significantly smaller than the first one she created on my behalf, the color remains vibrant and complementary, and her linework is crisp and clean (in both colors she used for the outline). I am pleased as punch and will absolutely seek Julie's time and expertise for future tattoos!

I have been looking forward getting a piece done that represented multiple times, people and places in my life. I came upon Daniel and brought an idea. What a fantastic journey! He understood right away what these specific items meant to me and used his amazing talent to create an arm piece that I could not be happier about. The customer service, work environment, attention to details were absolutely fantastic. The shop is so unique and welcoming. Daniel and Julie are not only very talented and professional artists but super friendly and very easy to work with.
I would definitely choose Daniel a million times if I decide to go back for more ink. Thank you, Daniel and best wishes for you and Julie!

Daniel and Julie are the best! Super talented power couple who are professional yet fun to be around. Between the 2 of them there isn't much they wouldn't be able to do. I've only been tattooed by Daniel so far but I get compliments daily and I can't wait to come back there and get one from Julie. Clean shop with a fun atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Sas is incredible! When I was looking for someone to create a hip hop themed sleeve I had researched dozens of artists looking for someone that could give me the level of detail and perfection that I wanted from my portraits.

After meeting Sas it was clear that he shared my vision and was willing to do whatever it took for us to create the perfect piece. After several sessions it was apparent that I not only found an amazingly passionate and talented tattoo artist, but also someone I now consider a friend.

The hip hop tribute sleeve was so incredible we received awards at the Minnesota Tattoo Convention!

I would highly recommend Sas Ink to anybody that is in the market for a highly professional tattoo created by a perfectionist who takes great pride in his work! Sas and Julie are the best!

Julie Sas is such an awesome artist to be tattooed by! Her line work and color skills are OUT OF THIS WORLD. So beyond grateful to have had such a wicked piece done by them. Can not wait to come back for more in the future!

Julie is top notch. She and Daniel have matched their extraordinary tattoo skills to their place of business. The space is polished and comfortable, a lot of attention is paid to the safety of their clients and themselves at this crazy time. I am in the middle of getting a full sleeve and will be returning for additional art down the road. Highly recommend.

Woods is an awesome artist! My sister and I went in on Sunday for a walk in and played plinko for our newest tattoos. Tons of fun to be had at WST!

I’ve loved getting tattooed by Julie! Her designs are amazing and so detailed. The first tattoo I got by Julie is so amazing I plan to get another :) They obviously take covid seriously and have taken adequate precautions to make it safe. I really appreciate all the work put in to getting Sas Ink up and running as well as safe during this trying time!!

Woods was super awesome to squeeze me in as a walk-in. Loved the shop and his great service. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!!

Julie and Daniel are both amazing artists. In addition to be extremely talented at what they do they run their shop very professionally with very high cleanliness standards especially when it comes to being COVID safe. It’s something I really appreciate.

Julie is doing a full color piece for me and I really couldn’t be happier with what she’s done so far. I can’t recommend them anymore for any type of piece you want to get done.
