Under the Needle 111 Lake Street South, Kirkland, WA 98033

"I had a great experience at Under the Needle. I worked with Jameson and he was easy to work with. He got what I wanted to do and prepared really nice artwork. On the day I was tattooed he was very accommodating and made sure that I was doing okay throughout the process. I am really happy with the outcome and I'll be back in a few weeks to start on my next piece."

"I do not recommend to anyone there are a few people who work here that are foul and will only steal your money!! I paid 100$ in advance and the day I was suppose to have my appointment I got into a car wreck I followed up with the business and they kept putting me off and then couldn't tell me to my face no literally kept telling me to keep coming back days later also lied about drawing up my art work and that's y they kept my money but wouldn't do the tattoo and didn't even know exactly what I wanted Bottom line do NOT GO HERE!!!"

"Every visit to Under The Needle has been an outstanding experience for me. The staff at the front desk are charming and efficient, and the artists exhibit exceptional skill, are courteous, and dedicate plenty of time to truly comprehend their clients needs. I got my very first tattoo here, and since then, I’ve received five stunning pieces from Stefan Hagar, with three more appointments already on the books. Stefan is genuinely one of the kindest and most heartfelt individuals I've ever encountered, not to mention his work is iconic. His artistry consistently garners admiration, with many inquiring about the artist behind my tattoos. The quality of his work speaks volumes, yet I can’t help but wholeheartedly recommend both Stefan and this shop as a whole. I am utterly delighted with all of my tattoos, and Stefan continues to astonish me with designs that exceed my expectations. He perfectly captures any concept I bring to him, hitting the mark every single time. To sum it up, whether it's your first tattoo or your hundredth, I can assure you that you'll be in excellent hands at Under the Needle tattoo shop."

"I was feeling spontaneous after work and decided to give them a call. They had someone available for a walk in so I hurried over there. The inside was very cool, lots of stuff to look at. The man who did my rib tattoo was friendly. I was also surprised at how fast the work was completed. I paid $200 for mine, but honestly I would have paid more for better quality. After it healed, I realized that there was a lot of scarring on the design. This means that the artist went way too deep… the ink cannot even sit in my scar tissue and it just sticks out, and you can physically feel it….. I am pretty bummed about this tattoo."

"The energy was good when I inquired and set an appointment up in June. Reached out to Dustin with about a month to go before my tattoo, he had lost all appointments up in San Juan WA. I understand getting up to the island is a challenge and unfortunately due to weather day of appointment his flight was cancelled. I tried to reschedule with him and for a week the response I got went along the lines of "I need to get in touch with another tattoo artist, I'll get back to you later today" each day ended without communication from Dustin and I got to the point where I don't want a tattoo anymore."
