The Needle Lounge 7304 Lakewood Drive West, Lakewood, WA 98499

"Okay, absolutely nothing wrong with this place! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and they made us feel welcomed. The setup was unexpected and I mean that in a good way. I've never seen a tattoo shop with this vibe; it is a whole new world filled with nothing but straight humble vibes and the music selection was great with a tolerable and preferred volume. They have picnic type tables inside. Tables are surprisingly smooth, clean, and sturdy. Next to it is a smoothie shop that seems popular itself. The menu seems like a good amount of options with energy type smoothies as a choice. It seems as if everyone entering the shop is happy to be there and comfortable sitting there enjoying the vibe. I myself did so. Now as far as the tattoos, my wife was the one that got the tattoo and they MADE SURE it ended up meeting her expectations. She entered with a smile and left with a bigger smile. Not only does that make me happy and really wanting to come back if considering another tattoo, but I myself feel welcomed to be there anytime. The tattoo came out better than what we expected, in fact, I can't imagine anything better. It's a family owned business and they work AS A TEAM very well. Now i know that has nothing to do with a review on the concept of it, but as a customer that tells me a lot about the way they run the business. I wish we didn't have to wait so long for the appointment, but all other shops have a longer waiting time. So I had crossed this out as a negative. I HHIIIGHLLLYY recommend this shop for experienced and first-time customers (anyone). Thank you to all the people that worked there for an unforgettable experience."

"Went with a friend who was getting tattooed by David. He had time after so I got a few little things done. Excellent line work and he's a fun conversationalist! Needle Lounge shares the space with a place called Blendful (which was sadly closed when we were there). Very nice and inviting space. My son (12) was able to go and there were lots of board games to keep him busy."

"First thing’s first: Pedro did a phenomenal job on my raven tattoo! I absolutely love it! I’m really glad I came to The Needle Lounge. It completely flips the idea of a tattoo shop on its head. This place is light and bright, and they have delicious smoothies and bowls at the front of the store. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming."

"I can’t recommend Pedro and The Needle Lounge highly enough. From the friendly welcome I received at walk-in to the kind consultation from the artist who wasn’t even going to do my tattoo but stuck around on his DAY OFF to consult and help me schedule to Pedro, my artist, who fit me in for the following day. Pedro listened carefully and patiently to what I was looking for, took the extra time to get to know me so he could truly incorporate my thoughts into his original design, and made me super comfortable throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and beautiful line work and shading are beyond. The guy’s a seriously talented artist and a seriously good human. The shop is immaculate, the practices are sterile and rigorous. My next tattoo will absolutely be from Pedro. I am ecstatic with my calf tattoo!"

"I got a polynesian tribal tattoo from Renmel and he did amazing. The customer service was outstanding and I was comfortable the entire time being there from scheduling the appointment to the day of. My first ever tattoo and I'm very pleased. Will be returning and telling friends and family!"
