My husband and I were walk-ins, the shops phone and website are currently down, so you have to go into the shop and talk to someone. Both Matt and Nick did an amazing job on a quick piece for us. The place is extremely clean and their work was amazing. Would definitely recommend getting a tattoo here!
This place is amazing! Matt has done a lot of my tattoos and every time I walk out of there I’m grinning from ear to ear cause how much I love his work. The whole shop is dope and the atmosphere is great. 10/10 would recommend coming and getting tattooed by Matt
Nick was awesome and professional when tattooing me. He was polite and always asked before doing something like moving my hair out of the way etc. Im very happy with my custom tattoo, which he made look so amazing from my very basic idea. Everyone else in the shop was friendly and conversational and the tattoo was very affordable for what I got! The shop was clean and sanitary. Very pleased with Idolize and Nick and looking forward to going for my next tattoo!
Got a swallow tattoo from Nicholas. It looks amazing!!! Nicholas was really great at listening to what I wanted and adjusting the design. Will definitely be recommending folks to come here.
The guys at Idolize were awesome!!! I went in spur of the moment and got to work with Nick W. He took 3 pics I had, combined them, and had something better than I imagined drawn up super quick and we got to work! He was quick, friendly, professional and above all amazing!! I absolutely love sitting for tattoos and getting to have conversations with Nick and the apprentice was a total treat! He made sure to check in with me throughout the process, not only on how I was feeling but how I felt about the work. He clarified any questions I had and just all around made me super comfortable. It was a blast and I cant wait to see it all healed up!!
Got my first tattoos here today! Matt was awesome, kind, and his passion showed tremendously through his work. Henry was also a cool guy and I enjoyed talking with him also. Would love to come back here again :)
I had a hard time finding someone to fit me in for a tattoo until I visited Idolize Tattoo! Matt was my artist and he was able to pull off a tatt with tight lines and detail and made it look super rad. I love my assassins creed tatt and so does everyone Ive shown it to! Thanks Matt and Idolize Tattoo!!! Definitely coming back when in the area again!
First off, let me start by saying I flew across the country just to be tatted by the Greek God that is DL Rius. Did it take us 4 hours to create a master piece that will forever live on my person? Yes. Yes, it did. Am I mad about it? No. No, I am not. Am I considering going back tomorrow for more work by him? Again, yes, yes I am. Amazing vibes. Great guys. Chill place. Absolutely in love with his work and my amazing piece. On a one to ten scale I shall give DL an 11. Yea I said what I said. THANKS FIREND!
Got a beautiful symbol tattoo here a few weeks ago, it has healed beautifully and I am in love with it. Definitely my now go-to place for all of my future body art!
The guys at Idolize Tattoo are absolutely amazing at what they do! Everyone was super nice and super cool! Overall this place offers a great atmosphere and a great tattoo service!
My friends and I came an hour before closing as walk-ins for small matching tattoos and they took us in!! They were all very helpful and friendly, we all really appreciated their work and kindness!!
Not only does he provide awesome artwork but he really knows how to show a lady a good time!! Super friendly and clean. Definitely stoked on his personality. Ask for Henry!!! He will even help you save money and find the right deals for aftercare 👏🏼🙌🏼
My girlfriend and I walked in one afternoon on a whim and were immediately greeted by Henry (the shop owner) and Nick (his apprentice). We told them we were there to browse their flash tattoos for ideas and WOW did they have tons of great ones to choose from. Their walls are plastered with flash. My girlfriend decided to get a cat tattoo from a visiting tattoo artist and I decided to get a reaper from Henry. They were super friendly to us the entire time and we never felt pressured by them. Just genuinely nice people. I chose a reaper flash idea that I liked and Henry changed it up a little bit to our liking. Henry was really great at making sure the tattoo was just right, placed correctly, correctly sized, and did a diligent job with the tattoo.
Super awesome staff, and my tattoo turned out amazing! They were able to fit in my friend and I as last minute walk ins. They made us feel super comfortable and tailored our tattoo ideas to best match what we wanted! The tattoos look beautiful, and the line work are amazing! It was quick and not as expensive as we thought!I’m going back when I decide on my next tattoo 🤗
I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine who had an excellent tattoo by Ping so I did what any good person would do and used my sisters as guinea pigs. Both of my sisters loved their tattoos, one by Ping and one by Katy, and the art was amazing. I was so impressed that I scheduled my appointment shortly after. Ping was professional and worked on my art, a custom piece, to make it look exactly how I wanted. I was on the table about 2 hours and couldnt be happier with how it turned out. I will be returning here in the future.
Highly recommend!!! They got me in fast for an appointment. Very professional and nice. My tattoo artist gave me direction on how everything will go down like its your first time getting a tattoo to make you feel comfortable and even ask if I needed any breaks let him know. He definitely takes his time and does not rush. I know its hard finding new tattoo artist, but I really recommend this place and if your interested on mine his name is Nick Wagner. Im definitely going back to add more. Thank you
Love this place.my go too for my tattoos
I got really lucky today because Ping was available! It’s hard to find artists that do fine line tattoos like her so I was excited to know that she was nearby and available. I showed her the style of tattoo I wanted on my forearm and she drew one up for me which I ended up loving. She’s very detailed in her work too. Thank you Ping! I’ll be back! :)
Ping was amazing, she was able to do two beautiful tattoos in one session. She also made adjustments on the fly for my back tattoo which I really appreciated. She was very careful about placement and had a light touch. Tattoos are painful but it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Highly recommend, i’de definitely get another tattoo at this shop.
I worked with Henry James on a koi tattoo for me and my brother. It turned out great! Not only is Henry a great artist, his calm comfortable demeanor makes the whole process easy. I definitely recommend this shop. Henry is my new go to guy, but the shop is full of talented people who care about their customers.
Everyone is super friendly, easy to talk to & helpful.Plus I’ve gotten 2 amazing tattoos from hereWill be coming back. 10/10 would recommend!Thanks Henry & Nick!!
Ive gotten 3/5 tattoos done by Sam Victoria. She is super sweet, she makes sure youre comfortable and she is great at bouncing ideas back and forth. I go there with a bit of an idea about what I want and she helps with picking out/designing something that is way better than i thought. She always double checks to make sure you like where it is and what it is. Her work is amazing, I always get the most compliments on tattoos done by her. (below are pictures of the tattoos shes done)
Matt has quickly become one of my favorite artists. He’s awesome guy who is real relatable, he’s down to listen to what you want done. Im definitely going back for more ink.
Came here and they got me in really quick, knew what I wanted and got down to business.Fair price, and Matt did a good job creating a design that I wanted.Definitely coming back here soon!
Went to Ancients Arts Tattoo with my husband today. He needed to re-ink a 10 yo tribal tattoo on his back, and I wanted to get my very first tattoo. We were both tattooed by Ping Li and she was great! My husbands took 2 hours, and mine took 1 hour. Im in love with my tattoo, we chose a design from the internet that I wanted and she added her own touches to it, and it came out amazing! I was terrified because it was my very first tattoo but she was reassuring and patient with me, and it was totally worth it. I recommend this place 100%!
Had a great experience! I have been getting tattoos at this shop for over 20 years. Thank you Henry for helping me celebrate my first listing sold as a real estate agent! Will be sending people your way!! I will return soon!
This was such a great experience. Very clean shop. Everyone was friendly. Ping is a super talented artist. I gave her some random ideas of what I liked and she was able to draw this beautiful image for me. She is patient, kind, and extremely light handed. Like extremely. I would definitely recommend her for someone whos never gotten a tattoo (really anyone but you get my point). Definitely 10/10 recommend. This woman is fire 🔥🔥.
This place is amazing!!! I just visited this last Sunday as a walk in and had an amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and friendly when greeting me into the shop and I got a stellar tattoo that day! Definitely recommend 100!% 😊
The staff at idolize were so kind and welcoming! Had my second but very first detailed tattoo done by Ping and it turned out so beautiful! (literally almost cried) Very clean lines and I appreciated that she gave different sizing options! She really wanted you to be happy with it! Ill definitely be back some time in the future!
Excellent tattoo shop. Clean, friendly, and well organized. I came in as a walk in a mere 5 days after I turned 18. The entire tattoo experience was professional and fun, causing me to be back quite a few times. Henry is a class act that doesn’t BS with prices. He gives a very fair rate and the work he puts in is well worth it. On my most recent visit, my debit card became safety locked and I couldn’t withdraw money. Some businesses will jump all over you for that. I was worried and felt terrible. Thankfully, Henry told me everything was ok and set me up for an appointment the next day. Now that’s good business.
Ping is so amazing! It was my first tattoo and she made the entire experience so relaxing and not at all overwhelming. Shes such a great artist and I really just love her work so much. Not only that but my tattoo turned out so well I love it so much. 😭 Everyone here is so nice too; I really couldnt have asked for a better experience!
MY FIRST TATTOO! I’ve started on this masterpiece, with a special thank you to my friend Nick Wagner. His vision and artistry brought this piece to LIFE! He created a very tranquil environment and added mindful concepts to make this tattoo truly mine. AND WE STILL HAVE COLOR TO GO!!! I am super excited and delighted with his work 500stars!!@fortunate_flesh on Ig
Got to butterflies on my thigh today by Henry! He did an amazing job! For sure going back to him and the shop. Professional and amazing quality
A nice tattoo shop! Walked-in and was able to be tattooed right then and there by Nick Wagner. First tattoo, and he made it simple, easy, and fun! Nice people, nice environment, great tattoo. Definitely coming back.
Ping did my first tattoo and she was great!! Im in love with my tattoo :) I emailed her about tweaks and she was so accommodating and patient. The mock up was spot on, I loved it!!! The process was super quick and virtually painless. Definitely going to Ping for my next piece!
I loved this place! Ping was my tattoo artist and she was amazing with me from beginning to end! I changed my tattoo idea a few times, even the day of I asked her to change some wording and she accommodated me so patiently every time I changed my mind! She was a great energy to be around, and I absolutely LOVE my tattoo!!! The other tattoo artists at the shop were also very friendly! I will definitely be returning! Thank you Ping :)
I got my first tattoo from Ping five years ago. My tattoo still look fresh now without any touch up. Her line works are amazing! Me and my husband decided to get a matching tattoo two months ago, so we went back to Ping and let her design and do it. This time even better than what I am expected. We both very satisfy With our tattoos. We got a lot of good comments from other people. Go to Ping! You won’t regret !
I am very pleased and obsessed with my new tattoo! I contacted Ping through e-mail in regards to my inquiry. She responded quickly. When I came in for a quick consult she was very nice and welcoming. The shop is clean, which I cared a lot about.The actual day I got my tattoo, she seems very efficient and I really liked that I could have a conversation while she was working but for the most part she was really focused. Its been 3 weeks and I wanted to wait and see how it healed up and its perfect!! Ive gotten so many compliments its crazy. I couldnt be more satisfied about the placement and the style of my tat.
Ping nailed the tattoo! I had some basic ideas and brought in some pictures and she took it and made it amazing in her own style!The studio is also clean, comfortable and welcoming. Tons of art on the walls and you cant beat the old school location.Ill definitely be back after this one heals!
Just had a session with Ping. The woman is incredible! Created a one of a kinda piece based on the ideas I gave her, and she works super fast—what I thought would take 2-3 hrs took 1, without sacrificing quality! Love this place.
Ping, Sam, and Henry are all you can dream of in a tattoo parlor staff. They are personable, knowledgeable, and amazing artists. Ping did my tattoo and I definitely will be returning. She redrew an idea that I had and made it 100% better. Her artist insight is out of this world. Youd be lucky to have any three of these individuals work on you. Best parlor in Washington!Thank you, Idolize Tattoo!!!
Went in very welcoming environment. Very clean and organized as well. Was draw at least 4 different and unique designs to have options. Great experience overall and I will be going back!!
Ping did an Amazing job on my tattoo. She was friendly, flexible with scheduling and patient while tattoo. She kept checking to make sure I wasn’t in too much and let me take as many breaks as I needed. I am beyond pleased with the results. I am already planning my next tattoo.
Henry did an amazing job on my thigh/hip tattoo. Setting up an appointment was super simple and he came up with a great design! Just finished up the detailing and I couldn’t be more happy or impressed. Everyone is extremely friendly and they make you feel at home! Will definitely be back in the future.
I was visiting Washington for a conference and wanted to get a new tattoo in honor of my daughter. I emailed Ping for a booking and unfortunately she was booked out one month. A day or so passed and she had cancelation, praise Jesus! I am in love with my tattoo. I plan on visiting Washington again next year and I want to get another tattoo by her. She is so detailed it blows my mind! Her professionalism is effortless. Highly recommend, for a high quality art piece, piece.
Ping did my first tattoo n was completely amazing :~) made sure it was perfect n continually made sure i was satisfied. she made the new experience super comfortable!! thank u ping
I had a great experience at Idolize tattoo! I walked in on Monday evening after having a hard time finding someone who could do what I wanted. They were friendly, professional, and scheduled me quickly. When I went in for my appt on Wednesday Henry drew it up for me, had me double check everything, and got to work. It was super quick and it came out exactly how I imagined. While I was there I even spoke to them about some more detailed pieces Im interested in. I will definitely be back and would recommend to check them out 😊
Henry was our artist today. He tattooed my husband and I. Did a great job! Our first time tattooing with him and it’s like we have been friends for years! Great tattoos and all around good dude! All of the staff are friendly and the shop has a good atmosphere. I’ll be back when it’s time for the next ink!
Henry James did an amazing tattoo on my forearm and it is such good quality even though he pumped it out in about 40 minutes from stencil to wrapping it up. I am honestly so in love with the tattoo and everyone in the shop. they are all super nice and invested into the work not just themselves but what others do as well. definitely recommend going here to anyone looking to get a new tattoo!
Henry did an amazing job with my tattoo! I’m in love with it and had a great time! Has really clean lines and was super friendly! Will definitely be coming back!
Ive gotten 2 tattoos here and they were amazing! Henry helped me figure out the best look for my remembrance tattoo of my dear pup that I lost recently. And I had an impulse and got a wonderful butterfly while I was waiting and he changed the colors around for my butterfly and Im in love! Will be a returning customer to these amazing artists. Definitely check them out!!!
Henry was our tattoo artist and let me tell you how AMAZING he was!!!! He is SO hilarious! We were walk ins just to get small matching tattoos and he made it happen. It was a great 1st tattoo experience. I definitely will be coming back here to get the rest of my work done!
Just finished my appointment for my sister and myself, came in for myself great staff and really cool environment, everyone is very attentive too the needs of their customers. I had ping draw and finish our design and she redrew and redid our designs in the spot to make sure we got an excellent tattoo, came out even better than we where expecting. Will defiantly be going back again for my fourth from them!
Ping did an amazing job on my latest tattoo. She’s an amazing artist and very friendly, making it a great experience. Thanks Ping for taking me in on short notice!
Ping was great! She helped me figure out placement and details for my first tattoo. She created a beautiful mandala on my hip. It’s perfect and I couldn’t be happier. She gets my highest recommendation😊
I’ve gotten 3 tattoos here in the past 3 months, along with my mother and my best friend. The artists are phenomenal and friendly. The shop is very clean, with impressive artwork covering the walls. The atmosphere is light but the artists work diligently which makes the experience one to remember. All three times I was a walk in and they were quick to get me in for my ink. Henry has done 2 of them and he’s very good at what he does! Great sense of humor which is great to alleviate nerves if you have them. Ping did a tattoo on my shoulder cap and it is soooo beautiful and feminine which is what I was aiming for. I’m absolutely in love with my tattoos. Will be returning soon for more work! Whenever a friend wants a tattoo Idolize is always what I suggest!
Walked in for a tattoo! I was kinda picky about how I wanted it, so I kept making him revise it! Very professional, patient and considerate!
Got 4 tattoos done by Ping and I’m madly in love with all of em, she took all the references I gave her and she made them look amazing using her own style. Her style is really rare to find, especially here in Washington! I’m definitely going back to her for all my future tattoos!
I got my first tattoo with Ping and I couldnt be happier with it and my experience! I was nervous at first but conversing with Ping helped me calm down. She made sure I was always comfortable, doing okay, and happy about my tattoo. All the staff are kind and helpful. The process was thorough and easy. The space is clean. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!
Henry is amazing!! Ive been going to him for a few years now ever since I randomly walked in one day to check out the place and we just hit it off. His work speaks for itself, his personality is so fun and outgoing. Everytime Im in the shop its like catching up with an old friend. Hell be honest with you about everything from design to placement to style and is always looking out for you first. Thank you Henry!!
Katy did an excellent job with the lotus tattoo on my forearm. Her work was truly amazing; I got so many compliments on it. I got my second tattoo of a Koi fish done by her and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out... Super Pleased!!! She is so nice and friendly, super creative and has lots of excellent ideas. She made me feel very comfortable. She’s quick and gentle; my tattoo didn’t hurt at all. I was on a budget and she hooked me up! Thanks again Katy, keep up with the great work!
I just got a tattoo on Wednesday. Henry did the work but Ping helped out the the correct order, spacing and wording. They were awesome to work with and HIGHLY recommend. 😁😁😁😁😁
Henry James did an epic damn piece! The tattoo he did turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Cant wait to come back and get more!! Thank you!!
Henry James was great! Quick and professional. I’ll be a regular from now on!
I have been getting tattooed by Henry for a couple years now and he has amazing skills. If you tell him what you want he will put his touch into it and make it great. I have referred him to many people and they all thank me. Keep up with the good work!
The place is filled with all of their awesome art and is super clean. They were so friendly and joked around the whole time. It was so fun and I love my tattoos!
Ping did such an amazing job on my tattoo today. Very professional and talented. Im in love with my bumble bee and rose. She took these two ideas and created a master piece.If I ever decided to get another Im definitely coming back to her.
My cousin and her friends (5 of us total) were visiting Seattle for the first time and we decided last minuet to get tattoos. We had visited 3 other tattoo shops before this one and none had availability or the welcoming vibe we received from Henry and the rest of the artists.My cousin, her girlfriend and I all got tattoos from 3 different artists and every single one turned out better than we visualized it. My tattoo was free handed but my cousin and her girlfriends were stenciledThis was my first tattoo and I was lucky enough to have ping offer to squeeze me in later that day (she is normally booked when you come for walk-ins). I still cant believe how perfect it came out.The quality of the tattoos and the vibes we got while visiting this shop will definitely bring me back here && with friends!
Katy is wonderful! Shes professional, friendly and very chill. Shes a great artist and was genuinely excited to do my tattoo. Shes so amazing I went back and saw her 2 weekends in a row. Im sure they wont be my last visits to her either!
As Henry reminded me today.. There’s never a bad tattoo at Idolize. Truth ! I’m always in love with my ink. Thank you again
If you want a good time getting tattooed go see Henry James, he’s willing to take your ideas and run with them. He inserts his own ideas and artistic knowledge into the tattoo, making it original. Which I think is the most satisfactory way to get tattooed. All in all I let the artist make the call, they know what looks best. Also the shop looks cool and has a good vibe.
Came in looking to get a hand tattoo and was told I didnt have enough tattoos in the first place and incentivised that I didnt earn it. They straight up refused service because they claim to be old fashioned. Im sure they do good work but discrimination in this shop is HUGE. Definitely not recommended.
Amazing experience getting tattoos by Katy 6 months ago, and Ping today! Every artist here is great and fun, and the artwork is incredible. I love my snake tattoo, and now my masked lady on my leg looks awesome! Thanks Ping and Katy! :)
Good clean shop. Friendly people. I got a stainless steel quad ring on my downstairs department. They were super gentle and I walked out with minimal blood from the procedure.
Very nice place! Clean, friendly and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere and the area is perfect for after your done with your art work. Also Nick Wagner is the man!
I was a walk in client and had 2 maple leaves tattooed on my left ankle. I LOVE THEM!!! She did an outstanding job with the color as well, it was more realistic than I had imagined! Reasonably priced and the artist was professional and friendly. I will defiantly be going back!!!!
The whole team here is AMAZING. I have gotten tattoos from Henry, Jeanna, D and I love them!!! Everyone is nice and accommodating here. 🔥❤️
Henry was our tattoo artist and he did an amazing job. He was able to do our two matching tattoos even as walk ins. This place was very popular the day we came in so if youre dead set to get a tattoo I would suggest coming in early in the morning and putting your name on a wait list. Ive gotten 4 out of 5 of my tattoos here and its always a great experience, they understand my wants and give great suggestions.
Had some amazing work done by Ping! She was very receptive to my ideas, quick to respond, and creative in findings ways to include everything I wanted! Highly recommend! The shop itself was also very nice, had free 4 hour parking lot next door, and very friendly staff, all at a great price!
I have been wanting a Japanese style sleeve. I met Ping through mutual friends and I asked her if she would be willing to do the tattoo. After a few weeks, I finally came in for my appointment, the design she had was AMAZING, the whole experience of getting the tattoo done was easy going and very professional. I now I have a start to a sleeve Ive always wanted and its just perfect! I will be seeing Ping until my sleeve is finished and will definitely come back to IdolizeTattoo for all my future tattoos.
Henry is awesome! Super funny, brings a great vibe to the shop and does the best tattoos. This is by far the best tattoo shop in renton.
The whole place is nice and clean looking. Henry managed to fit us in to his busy schedule, being totally flexible with our designs and placements. He gave great advice into how the healing process would go, and was super funny and entertaining the whole time. Third tattoo from this place and still impressed!!
Extremely helpful, I was a walk in and got in with no problem. Great tattoo and rad people to talk to. I felt like I was hanging out with my friends. Thanks guys!! Also sorry for taking a roll of toilet paper, I’ve never felt something so soft!-Luke
Love my tattoo.... Nick is the man!!
One of the best tattoo shops in Washington hands now. The staff is very friendly I got tattooed by Ping. She is amazing her work speaks for herself. Make sure you go and ask for her you wont regret it.
Amanda is simply the best! She has done several pieces for me and I would recommend her fantastic talents to anyone wanting a true work of wearable art! Not to mention, she is so easy to work with and easy-going in general, which really adds to the whole experience and calms your nerves under stress. I couldn’t be happier with be work that she has done for me!!!!!
Ping is amazing!!! Was super happy with my piece. Great attention to detail. Already thinking of more pieces Id like her to work on for me. Thank you!!!
Great service, quick and flawless tattoo work, and fun conversation. The oldest tattoo shop in Renton is still killing it! 12/10 will be back for more ink!
I was a walk in and Ping was available to do my tattoo. She was really nice doing exactly what i wanted. It turned out really good and I would recommend her for any tattoo you want done!
Henry took time to listen and create what I wanted while making sure he shared his knowledge on what would work and look best. The outcome was a tattoo I am so happy with! Great experience! Thank you!
Henry James is one if the most talented artists ever, he always thinks out of the box and i couldnt ask for a better artist! Hes super dope and makes you feel really comfortable with everything. ive gotten 4 tattoos from Henry and they all turned out amazing! he is a killer Artist! he makes sure his customers are 100% happy with what they got!(:
Henry is truly the best! I was disappointed with a tattoo I got at another shop, not that it was bad just wasnt right, Henry made it awesome! Not only is he talented but he is honest and real, I couldnt ask for more in an artist! Thank you Henry! Cant wait to get more work done!
Ancient Arts Tattoo and Piercing is a great place to get pierced or tattooed. The staff is amazing, fun to be around and care very much about the art you are putting in your skin and the metal they are piercing it with. Jon is amazing, With every piercing he does, he makes sure you get in and out as painless as possible and talks to you through the whole thing if need be. Naomi is amazing also, a great piercer both are very sanitary and safe.Robin is also amazing! I just recently finished my hip Tattoo with his help. I didnt have it drawn out, and he helped me figure out what I want, and drew it for me. He was incredibly patient when I got anxious and tensed up, he wanted to make sure I was OK and comfortable the whole timeAncients, is a local shop located in renton,and is amazing shop, great people, sanitary, safe, and they care about you and your ink, or piercings. they make sure you know what you are doing, make it OK for your job, help you decide if its right for you, and offer opinions that are both healthy and helpful. Go show them support, and love!!!!!
Ping did my tattoo last week, she is super profession and high skills. My tattoo healing very well. I love my tattoo a lot! she is great!
I love this tattoo shop. Ive gotten my last 4 tattoos done here. A different artist this last time and its awesome, better than I expected. Thanks Ping!
Henry James did a sun and moon design for my sister and I on my birthday. He did an outstanding job. I am so overjoyed with the results. We had a great time and it honestly couldnt have turned out any better. He drew a design based off what we showed him but it looks a thousand times better. If youre thinking about going here I highly recommend it. Go see Henry James! Hes awesome.
Prompt service, i didnt get my tattoo work on however they did help me right away.
