Hubby and I decided to get our first tattoos ever, and Bianca at Fenix did not disappoint. She was amazing to work with and made the experience easy and virtually painless. She mastered both of our designs, and was fun and easy to talk to while she worked. If you are in the area and looking for a great place for ink, check them out. Bianca fit us in the day we called, which was greatly appreciated.

Great little spot for a tattoo or piercing. I got a tattoo here on my first trip and a piercing on my second. Would definitely go back again.

Great place with knowledgeable owner and employees! Came in wanting a small memorial tattoo and another piercing in my nose! My friend also came to get her 2nd holes done in her ears as well as her very first tattoo!! They did an amazing job and Ricardo was so very patient with my friend and I’m absolutely in love with this small piece for my boyfriend who passed away 2 years ago!! Thank you so much guys and we will FOR SURE be back 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥

Ive been going to Ty for tattoos for over 8 years. His work is amazing and Im never disappointed.(Photo edited to remove last name)

Well, where do I start. I didn’t even get to setup an appointment to be seen. Whoever does your intakes via email is HORRIBLE. Not only did I have to repeat myself 5 times that I lived in Portland and couldn’t come in for a consult, I also emailed 3-4 times showing the images I wanted for the tattoo. I gave great details of what I wanted for the tattoo. They finally asked for my number to discuss the tattoo further. I never heard from them again. I’ve even emailed in 2-3 more times. No response, no phone call, no tattoo. The worst part is, I got a tattoo from here when I was 19 and spent 2-3 months searching for the tattoo shop to get this piece done at. Very disappointing to have been treated that way. Especially when I didn’t go in wanting some cheap as$ flash and I actually have an idea of how the process goes. Won’t ever be returning and rather people be aware of the sort of treatment to be aware of when they’re dealing with this company now.

Love this shop.brought 2 of my girls here in March for their first tattoos loved the work so much my husband and i came back for more tattoos they are so awsome and were very accommodating since we came from Eastern wash. I really appreciate all they were able to do.

Aight so last night I happened to lose my 3-week old nose ring in my friends apartment. After losing it and finding it about seven times trying to put it back in.... we gave up. This time it was gone for good. A complete meltdown occurred as I called many shops in the area, all of which needed an appointment. JUST TO BUY THE JEWELRY. I called Fenix and a deep voice answered, I stated my question for the millionth time My nose ring fell out and I was wondering if you had any jewelry for sale? He replied, You can come in but I only got what I pierce with, nothin fancy or anything I said PERFECT I WILL BE RIGHT THERE and that I was.I walked in, the man from the phone introduced himself as Ty. He told his client it will be just a moment. As a first-time pierce-ee my sense of fear was written all over my face. He came over with an L-shaped ring with a ball and gently cleaned me up and helped get the new jewelry in. He asked me about my cleaning regimen and gave me new advice based off my specific needs. He was very knowledgeable in what was going on in my nose (we dont need to talk about it). I thanked him profusely, and well, I had the other side of my nose done as well so he replaced that one too! Im not gonna lie, my nose did not like the jewelry from before so it was pretty un-fun and a little painful and I can say that I probably wouldnt have been able to replace it myself. I could tell Ty just wanted to share his knowledge and experience with those who were less fortunate (me). I asked him what I owed him and he didnt let me pay. So here I am, expressing my EXTREME gratitude that I found a dude who really cares about healthy and happy body modifications. Ty deserves five stars and more. Go to Fenix for individuals who care (:

Started my left arm sleeve The owner Ty is awesome very creative I would recommend this place to anyone who wNts a tattoo BOO-YAH!!!

Didnt get anything. However they were informative and were able to direct me where I might get what Im looking for.

Worked with Eva, she was wonderful and I LOVE my new art!

I was seen as a walk-in and was able to get right in. Eva/Ava (I forgot her name) was professional and had a great personality. I’ve had a hard time finding an artist that was able to do a specific font. I was either told to choose a font style they showed me, or was told that what I wanted couldn’t be done like I wanted. My artist didn’t have any problems executing exactly what I wanted and I’m so happy to finally have my tattoo!! They have later hours and I definitely recommend trying them out.

I go here for all of my piercings after being pleasantly surprised with a knowledgeable easy going and professional piercer on a walk-in lip piercing over 3 years ago. I’ve gotten 6 other piercings done here since then and they have all been amazing. If you read that the piercer is full of himself it’s probably cause dude goes over his qualifications with everyone before piercing them, this made me feel 100% better and more trusting with his skills. I only go here for piercings.

Walked in with my wife on our honeymoon and we got amazing tattoos.

Walked in for 7 piercings and I am beyond impressed with how efficient and professional Ty was. Your money and time are absolutely worth going to Fenix Tattoo and Piercing - you will leave completely satisfied and happy with your new piercings. I am SO so happy with my piercings and will absolutely be back for more.

Great people, great prices, great work!

First off u shouldn’t go anywhere that the piercer is a tattoo artist too. Not informative at all. My belly piercing was not done correctly and the ring that was used was unusual. Had to get it taken out. Go get pierced somewhere else

Great vibe, great people, great tattoos, and great piercings. I love this shop and will be coming here for my future tattoos and piercings.

Had an awesome experience!!! Lots of laughter great artists❤❤Thank you sooo much guys!!!

Just got butterfly tattoos on my forearm and side . Came out so beautiful! They are very talented, patient and great to work with. Customer service is 5/5 ! And open till 2 . We loved it

Pleasent service here. The people were all kind and accommodating. I feel they could help me more clearly understand pricing for specific tattoos, but they gave me a ballpark that was acceptable. I need to research their artwork, but have high hopes that it is stellar. Sweet shop.

Always my favorite place to be! Perfect at what they do tattoos or piercing! Great prices!

I would recommend Ty to pierce anyone I know he’s extremely smart and very good at what he does.

Great place to go. Friendly down to earth people. I had a great time getting tattooed I will be back!

My best friend and I decided to get a tattoo at 9pm on a Saturday. Fenix tattoo was one of the only shops open but it was in Pioneer Square. So we decided to check it out, so glad I did! They got us in and I love it! They are very friendly and do fantastic work. I would highly recommend Fenix Tattoo!

Great tattoo experience. The artist drew up my tattoo exactly how I wanted it and got it done quickly. 10/10 would recommend

I got my septum, bridge, and lip pierced here. Ty is very professional and knows what he’s doing. All piercings were a breeze and healed without any problem. I also got my forearm tattooed of a grim reaper, and the whole process was very smooth and clean. Ty is a master and I couldn’t recommend him more! Will definitely be going back.

Great work great staff. Try and Rico are definitely a go to for your tattoo needs

Went with my best friend to get her first tattoos! eva was absolutely wonderful, super friendly, and very skilled! thank you!!

Came in for my first tattoo and what I thought would be an easy one to do and much to my surprise it was not. I was just a walk-in and they still too the time to do it for me. It came out exactly how I want it and totally recommend going here

My roommate and I got piercings here last winter. The dude was super condescending had a whole speech about how he was better than any other piercers in town and he had multiple degrees and everyone else did it wrong. I got a single third lobe piercing and my roommate got her traigas. Hers got infected and swollen within half a day and caused her so much pain she had to go to the doctor. Mine never got infected but when I went to get the jewelry changed, it was very painful and almost impossible and the man at the shop I went to (a different one, not Fenix) told me that not only did he pierce it from the wrong side but the piercing switched direction halfway through. Do not recommend getting pierced here.

My boyfriend and I each got work done from rico at fenix tattoo and love our new ink 😍

Got a cover up. Really poorly done.

Very nice artists there. Did a great job on my Lion and another artist did my boyfriends Lion for him. Will return again when ready for something else.

So I went in on my birthday to get a tattoo and piercing done. The people were really nice and I had a great time, but my tattoo is a little spotty and my piercing was crooked.

Very friendly and professional answer all my questions I got in got my ink on fast and easy

I got my 2nd lobe piercings done here and after he went on and on about how hes got so many certificates and degrees and how hes the best there is, my ears have been fighting infections since last November when I got them done AND THEY ARENT EVEN SPACED PROPERLY?! Does anyone else see this?? Im horrified! Just noticed when changing the original jewelry. I cant believe I paid for this.

Me and the wife got tattoos at Fenix Tattoo last night. Ty was awesome. My wife had a lot of questions and was a little nervous because it was her first tattoo. Ty gladly answered all of the questions and explained everything very well. I would definitely recommend Fenix Tattoo. Oh the price was very reasonable as well.

Just called to ask a question, he answered by saying “hello?” Not even saying the tattoo shop name. I had to ask to clarify where I was calling. Once I asked my question he was very rude to me. Also my friend had a bad experience here, she was touched on by the man working on her tattoo🤮 same guy I spoke on the phone with

Very easy going, always have a good time and never anything unexpected :)

This place was pretty sketchy. The piercer told me that he knew more about piercing and aftercare than any other piercer and then put a lip stud in my ear instead of traditional ear jewelry. It was too long and it was constantly catching in my hair until I was finally able to switch it out.

I got my septum Pierced here TY was very professional and treated me well. The shop is very clean and in a great location! I even Lost my balls to my nose ring and the next day TY was more then happy to help me for no additional charge. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Couldnt get a spot on the last day of the tattoo convention. After looking up a few late night shops my brother and I decided on this place and I was amazed. They made me feel welcome and likei was a part of the family from the moment I walked. Not too long of a wait, at all, for a walk-in and the tattoo turned out great and was priced just right. Thank you for the piece I dedicated to my Mother.

I had a very good experience with the staff here. I came in to get my jewelry out for my pending surgery, and then came back to get it all put back in again after it was over. The piercing guy was super nice about it and even did all my captive bead jewelry too! Such a load off my mind! I didnt have to worry about doing it myself and losing beads down the drain. Thank you SO much!

3rd tattoo from this shop between the old & new location. Today was my first time in the new location, its really nice & wheelchair accessible! Service was great as always. I really like being engaged as another human with no BS instead of a customer the staff has to put on an exaggerated customer service facade to appease. These guys are always real, chill, and up front about everything and it makes me feel like I fit in right away. Ty only employs exemplary artists, so I trust everyone there with ink. Always fair pricing.

Great artists, great prices. Tattoo came out better than expected and they charged me a lower price than was quoted. Highly recommend.

Fenix rocks. Very professional, competent artists, and a great environment. I came in with a group of four 18 year-old girls - yikes, right? - but we were met with open arms, and got both genuine guidance and great banter out of the experience (and, of course, sick ink). Ill absolutely be coming back to these guys when I want to get my own tattoos/piercings done. They come recommend highly!

Ty took me as a walk in Saturday night and went over my design. Offered me great advice on placement and how it would look over time. Very pleased with the outcome. Ty is always professional and love his work. Excited about my next appointment in 2 weeks!!

Ty is amazing, a true artist! If your looking for the best - look no further, you will not be disappointed. He will be straight forward and honest, trust this guy he truly cares about his work!! The end result will speak for its self.

Excellent art. Great service. Reasonably priced. Very professional when he covered a previous tattoo on my gas right breast

Got my first tattoo here tonight. Price was great. Ty was professional, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. Didnt hurt at all. And most important, The tat looks amazing.Great experience!

I came in for one thing and left with another. I had some cover up (upper arm blacked out) and I thought it was a lost cause. Ty, the owner, came and looked at it then after a couple hours I left with art that I never would have thought would come out on top of black work. Best tattoo yet. He also is a Jack of all trades and will talk to you about literally anything and know what he is saying.

My piercer was wonderful, very professional and fun guy! id probably only let this dude put a hole in my face from now on. information and aftercare was provided and i have no issues. THIS PLACE ROCKZ

Today I walked into this shop as a tourist praying they could take a walk in (most shops in my area give serious attitude if you try to come in without an appointment) - they took me in quickly and without any attitude. Ty was friendly, informative and honest through the process. His artistry was great and so was his service. I always get nervous going To new shops but i have zero regrets about going here. I highly recommend Ty as an artist and Fenix as a shop and I’ve been getting tattooed for years

Ty is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Not your average piercer! I would 100% recommend that you go to him for any of your piercing needs.

Went in for a bit of piercing. Had a really good experience and a few laughs. Very knowlegable

Great front staff! I havent received a tattoo as of yet but the front staff has been incredibly helpful.

The best cover up artist Ty, did an excellent job. No one would touch my horrible tattoo. Ty made it beautiful. He has also given me the best work ever. I am totally tattooed and believe his work is the highest quality available.

The first time I went to Fenix was as an impulse walk in for a little banger. After a while I ended up showing Ty the absolute worst tattoo in the world and he said he could fix it! After a few sessions he managed to turn my horrible solid black tribal mess into a beautiful work of art. Over the years he has touched up a few other tattoos for me as well. I am always thrilled with his work. Fun shop to hang out in, cool chill staff with top skills. I hate going anywhere else now. Worth the drive down for this Canadian!

Great place to get my first piercing. They had come highly recommended by a friend and she wasnt wrong. Theres character and spirit there that makes it feel down to earth and real. Thanks guys!

Got my first tat there and they were really nice

Absolutely amazing cover up by Ty, going back in two weeks to finish the detail. He knows his sh** and doesnt beat around the bush. Best shop in Seattle hands down. Have been going here for my piercings and tattoos for years 👌👌

Ty helped my friends out very smoothly and professionally. Guy has a lot of confidence which I greatly appreciate. Also was very kind to spectators and joked around with us as if hes known us for some time

Great guys! Very reasonable prices. Did consultations and tattoos quickly and maintained high quality.

My tattoos we’re hella good besides one part of some of my cursive was messed up.

Got a tat done recently by Trejen (Jason). I honestly couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his work! Will without a doubt be going back to have him bring to life more of my ideas!

I was only in town for a few days at a conference for Childrens Tumor Foundation and luckily I found Ricardo to give me an awesome tattoo. Highly recommend and when Im back in Seattle I will definitely go back to him. Thanks Ricardo.

We called Ty last minute and got there within an hour notice and he was able to get us in. He was extremely helpful, explaining the healing and aftercare process, walking us through all of the steps for our piercings to heal. He sent us home with aftercare products, free of charge. Could tell he really cared about customer experience and making sure our piercings healed properly. Would highly recommend and refer to anyone!!

Ty was awesome!!! He got my husband and myself in with no issue, walk-in. We both got our sons name tattooed on us exactly how we wanted. He was very helpful and easy-going. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommend!

Worked with Rico on a smaller chest piece. The detail he was able to put in the piece is top tier. Phenomenal work, easy to chat with, and very talented. Really appreciate the work he did. Would be happy to come back.

A must visit for any locals, or tourists who are interested in getting tattoo/piercing work done! We have known the owner Ty for years and he is one of the most stand up guys weve ever met. I highly recommend checking it out the shop.

Really nice place with great people to talk to. The prices were pretty decent compared to other piercing places, but if youre reading my review looking for information about tattoos, then you came to the wrong guy.

Showed up last minute with two people for piercings. One trek and one industrial. Was quick and provided great knowledge and process. Also had a great personality which made the experience awesome. Most definitely should go there for your piercing needs!!!!

They do a really great job at piercings and are really helpful if you ever need help with them afterwards (Ive been there twice after having jewelry fall out, my fault, and they have given me a new ball and made sure the jewelry was screwed in tight enough), great really nice people

The guy who pierced me and my friends was extremely creepy and then our cartilage piercings got super infected for months and months afterwards. Please do not go here for piercings, laughing Buddha is amazing though!

Very nice and helpful when getting my first tattoo. Did amazing job.

The artist who helped me asked all the right questions. He made sure everything lined up and was straight. Im kinda picky and he catered to my esthetic, making me feel very comfortable and heard. I was in good hands and so will you be.

If I could leave a 0 star review I would, my piercer did not go over after care instructions yet did belittle every other piercer in the city. Marked my piercing location with a sharpie and stuck the needle in crooked so the entry and exit holes do not line up. Used a nonstandard gauge and didn’t tell us. That is just touching on the actual piercing experience. This dude kept looking up my skirt while piercing me and insulted/commented on the tattoos that were visible to him. After the jewelry was put in he told me that I could change it after 7-10 DAYS I didn’t think that was right but I did it anyways and it got so infected and inflamed that I thought I would lose an ear! The cleanliness standards are clearly not met and the LEAST he did was wear gloves and change needles between my friend and I. BEWARE

Ty was super funny and did a great job at piercing my ears as well as walking me through how to do the stretching process. I would highly recommend these guys!

Owner very helpful, educated about piercings.

Great service

V professional but hella casual. Everyone there has more than 10 years of experience (the owner has over 30)

These guys are the best. Their prices are great and the service is spectacular.

Excellent work and great staff. Love the place and will continue to go there.

Awesome place! Lost the ball on my piercing and they fixed it for me! Matched the size and shape of the ball so you couldnt tell.

Me and my friend did a walk-in for nose piercings and Ty knows what he is talking about. He makes sure you are well informed before you even start and he shares the science behind the healing process to help you understand the dos and donts. Great experience, great guy.

Top tattoo

Best Tattoo shop in Seattle. Ive been going here last 3 years they do the best work!

Great people! Really nice and helped me out when a piercing I got at another place broke.

The guy who pierced my daughter’s nose was so full of himself, he didn’t check in with her about the placement of the piercing enough.... when she said she thought it was too far back, he said that it was in the right place.... then he didn’t give her any written aftercare instructions or the ointment he said he would give her. He put down other people, which is a sign of a small person. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Owner is super great and patient. I got my first tattoo here a few days ago, had a great time!

Great artist.. Ty is the best

Do not go here for a finger tattoo. Apparently the simplest tattoo cannot be done here. Also, no reason was given. Just No, sorry and thats it. Horrible.

They were awesome! I had my stomach dermal piercing halfway ripped out on a Tuesday evening playing basketball and I was freaking out because I had no idea what to do (I had the piercing for 8 years) and it was 10:00 pm on a week day. I tried a couple other tattoo/piercing places in my neighborhood but they werent able to help. So I called Fenix Tattoo, they were open and said they would be able to help me that evening. I went in there and they helped me right away. He was quick and talked me through the pain, as I was freaking out at the thought of him pulling it out. He then gave me ointment to reduce the scarring and didnt charge me for the removal. Thank you for being so nice and making an experience I was dreading since I got the dermal quick and easy!

I have been getting tattooed by Ty for over 7 years and highly recommend his establishment.

This place is very professional courteous all around perfect tattoo experience

Excellent artists

Went in as a walk in. Tackle Boxx was awesome in helping design what I truly wanted from a vague idea I had from a photo. Very very professional. Took a little time because he made sure everything is EXACTLY as I wanted. Hard to say a pocket watch is badass but, Tackle Boxx made it happen. I WILL be going back. Soon.Thanks Tackle Boxx for what has turned out to be my best tattoo experience yet.

Love these guys so much. Fritz is my favorite!

I got a small tattoo done by Tackle boxx (TBOXX) here. He was very professional and accommodating with everything, even when I wanted a couple last minute changes.They accept walk-ins, and the price was veryvreasonable, especially for a place like Seattle.I would highly recommend Fenix, and especially TBOXX to anyone in Seattle.

My best friend and I went in to get our Tragus pierced together and I needed my nose redone. The piercer was incredibly pompous. He immediately started off by saying he was pre-med and had a real estate license and all these other non related certifications. Who cares?? He didnt ask if the position was good for either of us and when we asked to move it he shrugged it off like we were wrong for wanting it centered. When my best friend did hers his hand slipped and the clamp came off her ear leaving marks and blood. She asked him to clean it and he said oh its just red he blamed it on her for moving when in reality she never moved and he never even acknowledged his mistake. He was very rude and I wouldnt reccomend anyone going there. In wanting my nose redone it wasnt even fully closed and he charged a full amount ($60). We did not get to pick the gauge or the jewlerry like most places and his aftercare instructions were not on paper so you better listen closely as he guarantees it heals in 3 days. Uhm.. no. He belittles women and is again very arrogant.
