Dzul Ink Lounge

Fantastic experience: I love that it is a family business! Run by brothers, and the younger brother and I share the same first name! They are extremely professional and courteous! I am extremely grateful and appreciative for their services, and I highly recommend them to my friends and family!

Positive experience: Everyone here is incredibly nice and welcoming! The studio is beautiful and clean! Alejandro is so friendly , I didn’t want the tattoo appointment to end! I love that it’s a family business and the two brothers work side by side.

Fantastic experience: Very talented tattoo shop. Alex and Jacob are a pleasure. Their staff are very friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: DO NOT go here for piercings. I came here to see the piercer who was working here in September. she had gave me a navel piercing which costed me $150. I thought I was going to get a good piercing because of the price. All the other shops I called charged way less and I only chose this one because it was the only one open at the time of night. Long story short, she had pierced my belly button and almost a year later the piercing still hasn’t healed, infected, even after using antibiotics and saline spray, and cleaning it with soap and water daily and the skin on the belly button piercing was really thin and about to rip out. The jewelry used was a really long bar, it just didn’t look right at all. I had went back because I was concerned that my piercing was going to rip through my skin and the owner at Dzul had no sympathy. As long as they got their money they will not care if they screw you over. I asked for a reimbursement and they said there was nothing they could do. Not even a re-pierce or nothing. all he had to say was that I didn’t have the right “anatomy” for the piercing, which is LIES! Your piercing just pierced it completely in the wrong spot BY THE WAY, and if I did I don’t understand why they didn’t just tell me me that I didn’t have the right anatomy for it a year ago when I got the piecing, it would’ve saved my stomach from really big scar/keloid. But like I said they just care about the money the make. Do not go here for piercings! And not only that they charge out the roof prices for tattoos it’s insane. If you’re going to overcharge your customers at least have a solution for them when you mess up…

Fantastic experience: The shop is badass! Emloyees are super cool too. I definitely would come back if I need anything else

Fantastic experience: I love the owner! Most sweetest guy ever! I can't wait to get my ink done here! My frenz love there ink so I trust these guys

Fantastic experience: I took my daughter for her first nose piercing- Alejandro was so kind, informative and incredibly professional. Pricing was explained upfront, I knew exactly what I was paying for & that there was slight up charge for different jewlery. The studio is immaculate and as we were there just before they closed up shop, I actually was there to witness nightly clean-up and they were meticulous. Overall we could not have asked for a better experience!

Fantastic experience: they work really fast and really professionally i love it

Negative experience: I’m leaving this review mainly for clarity for future clients, especially first-timers. Prior to my appointment, I was told pricing would be around $200–300 depending on design and time. I ended up paying $700 total between a deposit, a card charge, and cash for three finger tattoos. It was not clearly explained beforehand that the pricing was per tattoo rather than an overall estimate, which was confusing given the size and placement (these were finger tattoos, not a hand piece or larger work). The tattoos themselves are fine, but the process felt very confusing. There was also a misunderstanding regarding a cash payment that was initially assumed to be a tip, which added to the confusion. This was eventually corrected and refunded after I followed up, and I did receive receipts. Everything was ultimately resolved, but clearer communication around pricing and payment would have made this a much better experience. I recommend confirming total cost, per-tattoo pricing, and payment handling in writing before starting.

Negative experience: If I could rate zero stars I would. Though they do decent work, their pricing is not transparent, and not at all in line with other tattoo artists in Seattle. I’ve got almost 30 tattoos. My last one a week ago with one of Seattle’s most popular artists, 6” in color cost me $700 after a hefty tip. A friend got a 3” black ink piece here, and they charged her almost $1500 for it. When she acted surprised, they threatened to call the police. I don’t know if they thought she was a tourist or what, but they royally messed with her. I had considered getting inked here, even was the one who recommended it to my friend. Hearing this kind of story makes me vow to stay clear, and hope I can save others from the same experience.

Fantastic experience: Had a Flash tattoo done by them at The Modern open house event and it was amazing! The check in process was smooth, the area was clean, and the artist was quick. I paid $150 for a flash tattoo and I couldn’t be happier with it. My wife and her friend also got flags tattoos and it was a gray experience all around. I would definitely recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Awesome artists and amazing service, couldn’t recommend more!!

Fantastic experience: The space is clean and comfortable! I needed a coverup and was having to be very choosy about where I went cause it could easily go wrong. Alejandro worked very closely with me to ensure that the tattoo was exactly what I wanted and Jacob did the actual work. This tattoo exceeded my expectations, and the atmosphere made for an amazing experience!

Negative experience: Was quoted 550 for a forearm tattoo that I went and got done SOMEWHERE ELSE in less than 2 hours. Paid 250 there. Front desk was nice but the artists are running a scam.

Fantastic experience: best Tattoo Artist glad I Discovered this place Hella Chill and Cool can't wait to work more with em.

Fantastic experience: This was top tier service from beginning to end! The professionalism of the staff just sets off the already fantastic artist that Alejandro and Jacob are! I’ve been following them and their work for years now and I knew when it was time for my ink this is where I wanted to go. The lounge is a Vibe and the skills are unmatched. If you want quality work and great service Dzul is where you want to go. I’m very picky with everything, especially something that will be on my body forever, so I knew these guys would take care of my husband and I. I don’t remember her name but the lady that help me finalize my designs was so patient and hadTrue understanding of what I wanted to accomplish and Alejandro executed my finish exactly like I wanted. I even got some previous ink touched up and had a fairly new piercing changed that was bothering me. The knowledge and skillset of everyone we encountered here is definitely worth any expense they charge. Value+result=well worth every penny! Thanks everyone and we definitely will be returning for more ink in the future! And if you are in the market for ink I encourage you to look nowhere else but Dzul. They will take great care of you and bring any vision to life!

Fantastic experience: Customer service was great. My cover up looks like a first time tattoo. I love it!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I got pierced by Triniti. She's very skilled and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Thanks Ash for the tattoo consultation and fitting. Tommy Gunn you did a great job making some alterations during our art consultation review and generally supporting Dzul during the Expo. Alex your art and talent are now a part of me forever. Thank you for making my tattoo experience calming, look great, and feel special too. This is a team of professionals that invoke professionalism and service from start to finish. I think Alex and his brother Jacob secretly compete to be the better artists. Their shop certainly comes 100% for the client. #seattleTattooExpo #Evans

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the tatt I got from dzul tattoo. I reached out a few months before my visit to Seattle. I was very lucky to talk to Tommy, who helped me put my design together. I was also put with Alejandro, the owner of the shop. Alejandro is one one the best. He has a very soft touch, and he is fun to conversate with. I want him to do the rest of my tatts but I live in another state. I am very pleased with the work.

Negative experience: While I can’t speak about their tattooing, I did recently buy some body jewelry here. When going to a piercing shop, I ASSUME it’s going to be decent quality. Not only did it seem way more expensive than I’m used to, but my belly button jewelry that I paid nearly $30 for— tarnished in less than a month. I would expect this from Spencer’s or Hot Topic, but not a tattoo piercing studio. Besides that, the employee who helped me was very kind:)

Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten tattoos in many studios across the US and this is BY FAR the most professional studio I’ve been in. From the detailed website to the consult/art review/ink session everyone paid close attention to what I’m looking for and adjusted as needed. These guys are definitely the best at coverups and white on black, using elite techniques and products. Alejandro is super talented in specialized techniques. The chair was mega comfortable (don’t underestimate the importance of that when sitting for hours!) and Alejandro kept me informed and checked in throughout the process to ensure I was happy. They even sent me off with an aftercare kit. These people are true artists so if you want something beyond flash go here. You might get a shock at the quote but just know, you’ll be paying for talented artistic investment and high skill level. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I’m from a small town in Pennsylvania and I’ve always wanted to take a trip to Washington, I finally made it! My plan was to get a pine tree tattoo as a souvenir, but I wasn’t sure where to go. We saw Dzul on a tour map and happened to just come across it when we were walking around. It was a great experience! The staff is very friendly and helpful and my tattoo turned out great!

Fantastic experience: Amazing shop with a dope vibe. My session was with Alejandro and it was amazing. He has a gentle hand, but is thorough. Front of house staff were kind and courteous, shop was very clean. Their client scheduling is also very good, it keeps the chaos down so you can enjoy your experience. I will be back for more work in the future!

Fantastic experience: After shopping around Seattle, I found Dzul ink lounge through instagram and decided to book a consultation. I met with Thomas and described my ideas and visions for the project, and he was super professional and kind to me throughout the entire process. They were willing to work around my budget and figure out the coverup situation in a way that made it easy for me to understand and budget financially. Thomas provided the best consultation experience I’ve ever had by far, he is a great communicator and runs the front end of the shop very well. On the day of my tattoo, I showed up excited for my big day, and I got VIP treatment being the only appointment that day. My artist was Alex who is legitimately one of the MOST KIND people I’ve ever met. I could tell he brings years of experience and passion with him in his shop, and I felt completely comfortable and at ease through the entire experience. We went for 4 hours with a few short breaks, and Alex was totally compassionate and professional the whole time. Seriously such a nice guy too. Alex is a tattoo legend. I am very happy with the work done and look forward to getting back in the shop for another piece eventually! You can trust this team with your very important sentimental pieces and know that they’re going to show up for you. Coverups come with their own unique set of challenges and Alex is a true talent when it comes to the ink and needle. Thank you all so much for a positive experience, being able to look in the mirror and love what I see is such a powerful experience and I have you all to thank!!! Much love- Kyle 7/14/25

Fantastic experience: The results were far better than I ever could have imagined! Jacob worked his magic and I couldn't be happier! Very excited to keep this cyberpunk theme going!

Fantastic experience: Best choice I could have made for a day of decision. Jacob was informative and kind through the whole process and made it painless! Will absolutely be coming back for the next tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the whole process. Coming in for a spur of the moment walk-in was a great choice! end result is exactly what we expected, everyone in the shop is knowledgeable and kind.

Fantastic experience: My sister and I were able to just walk-in and get exactly what we wanted. Our artist Alejandro did amazing work and gave us out of towners great local suggestions for our visit. Super cool guy! Ty and Tommy killed it in the stencils too and were able to make perfect adjustments to what we asked for. Yall rock!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough amazing things about this shop! Front desk was friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. I’ve been waiting a long time for this tattoo, and I’m so glad I chose to come to Dzul. Alex was awesome from start to finish. Impeccable attention to detail from the placement to the amazing line work and shading and checking in with me throughout the process. He stayed to make sure my tattoo could be completed in same day which I also greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for a stellar experience and tattoo. You guys rock!

Fantastic experience: Alex and Jacob were amazing. Not only were they super professional and made sure my daughter and I were comfortable, they explained the entire process to us and ensured our questions were answered. We felt very confident and at ease with them. They are so good at what they do. Their art is some of the best I have seen. I will definitely be back for all tattoo work I want to get. Highly recommend going to them if you want to ensure high quality results and clean welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Alex and Jacob were phenomenal! They made me feel comfortable and both were great to talk to. They even went past their closing time to finish my tattoo. I got a micro realism piece of my cat and it turned out beautifully. Highly recommend these guys!

Fantastic experience: Did a half sleeve coverup for me. Amazing work. Better than I imagined. Nothing is off limits for these guys. Capable of transforming anything into a real piece of art.

Negative experience: Nose piercings. Had them do it twice. When mine popped out over a yr later went to buy a new one. $50. Did not go in. Went back next day,. told her just wanted the cheapest smaller guage. Another $50 cause you cannot exchange. Got home same Guage size if not bigger than day before. Asked her since it was her fault get money back ot exchange. She said no.. would have to schedule an appt for ANOTHER $60 JUST to have piercer put it in for me!

Negative experience: I stopped in to inquire about getting some small letters tattooed across my fingers and was quoted $400? I’d have way more respect for this place if they had just told me to my face that they didn’t want to tattoo me, because that price isn’t fooling anyone.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Jacob at Dzul Tattoo for a hyper-realistic sleeve, and I couldn't be more impressed with the outcome. Jacob’s attention to detail and precision are exceptional, and the level of artistry in his work is truly remarkable. The shading, depth, and overall realism of the tattoo exceeded my expectations. Jacob’s professionalism throughout the entire process was outstanding. He took the time to listen to my ideas, offer valuable input, and ensure every aspect of the design was perfect. I will absolutely be returning to Jacob for future work and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-quality tattoos. His skill and dedication to his craft make him one of the best in the business.

Fantastic experience: This was my second time working with Dzul Ink Lounge. My first tattoo—a giant octopus spanning my chest, shoulder, and back—always gets compliments and my experience over the 20+ hour session was positive as well. This visit was for something much simpler: a small song lyric on my wrist. But what really mattered to me was that my wife was getting two tattoos—only her second and third ever—after a less-than-ideal first experience elsewhere. Tai and Alejandro exceeded even my high expectations. They were incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with my wife, helping her through every step of the design and placement process. Watching her collaborate with them to get exactly what she envisioned meant everything. Truly grateful—customer for life!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dzul Ink Lounge! My husband had a great experience here before, and after my visit, I completely understand why. This was my second tattoo ever, and the experience was amazing. I had a general idea of what I wanted but wasn’t sure about the font or placement. Tai was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the process. Alejandro was professional and made me feel completely comfortable, especially given the placement of my tattoo. He took the time to try different stencils in the areas I was considering and was extremely patient with me. As someone who tends to be anxious, I truly appreciated the judgment-free and calming atmosphere. The tattoo I wanted was fine-line lettering of lyrics from Innerbloom by RÜFÜS DU SOL, and this was by far the best tattoo experience I’ve had. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience make every penny worth it. For something that will be on my body forever, I couldn’t have asked for a better place. I’ll definitely be returning to Dzul for future tattoos!

Negative experience: These guys are shady about money. I walked in to get a two-inch one-word matching tattoo with my daughter. We were quoted $250 total for the service. For similar tattoos in the past, I've paid no more than $100 but I figured okay they're marking us up $25 each for being walk-ins, no big deal. We ended up being charged $500 and when asked about it was told it was $250 for each tattoo, which had NOT been clearly stated at the outset. Not only is $250 an astronomical price for a piece that took 10 minutes, it was a total bait & switch with the cost. Super disappointing. The artist was sweet & did a fine job on the little stencil but the mark-up was insane. It's no way to do business.

Fantastic experience: Lovely time, got my second earlobe piercings done here by Catalina. She was great in making sure that the piercings were to be centered/even and not hit any cartilage, which I really appreciated. The piercings are healing wonderfully thanks to a job well done and proper aftercare advise provided. It was maybe a little pricey, but all in all, worth it.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience getting my nose pierced with Cata Dzul! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Cata was knowledgeable, comforting, and we bonded immediately! She took the time to explain everything before, during, and after the piercing, making sure I knew exactly what to expect. She also recommended the best placement for my piercing while checking in with me to ensure I was happy with it. Loren was also amazing—she really inspired the type of nose ring I wanted and was super thorough in helping me pick the right one. I do wish they had a bigger selection of nose rings, but Loren’s insights helped me find something I love. A Few Extra Details: Pricing: Piercing service was $70, and the ring I chose was $85–$90. Their aftercare products (cleaning spray/ointment) range from $10–$30, and they have them available for purchase in-store. My total with tip came out to about $230. Walk-In Experience: I arrived Tuesday at 4 PM PT with no appointment and only had one person ahead of me, so the wait wasn’t bad at all. Clean & Professional: The shop was spotless, well-organized, and clearly run by a team that cares about their craft. Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations—the process was smooth, way less painful than I imagined, and my piercing looks perfect! If you’re considering getting a piercing, this is 100% the place to go. Cata and Loren are amazing, and I’ll definitely be back in the future!

Fantastic experience: From start to finish everything was very detailed. Great customer service. Really pay attention to detail. Great artwork! I will get another tattoo from them.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Cat. The receptionist was welcoming and set the tone in a great way. Cat took me on a walk in even though her day was jam packed with appointments, and despite the time crunch she took her time with the process, informed me, and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable while getting my septum pierced. As someone with a small nose, I can say she got the piercing PERFECT without me even explaining what I wanted it to look like. She understands anatomy and explained everything in a way that I understood. Very informative and so so kind hearted. I will be returning for all of my future piercing/tattoo needs and recommend everyone else to do the same. I am so in love with this piercing - it was worth every penny. I can’t wait to return. Thanks so much to Cat and the Dzul team!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first larger tattoo done by Alex at Dzul. What a great experience. The consult with Nicole was amazing, she listen to the what and why of my idea and came up with a perfect design. Alex brought it all to life in an incredibly detailed, artfully crafted tattoo. I watched Jacob complete his customer’s sleeve and it was jaw dropping. I highly recommend either of these two talented artists at Dzul.

Fantastic experience: Cata was absolutely amazing! Walked through everything with me very clearly, was extremely personable and caring about piercing success & care. Would definitely recommend for a piercing!

Fantastic experience: Just Today, Alejandro gave Me my San Francisco 49ers Back tattoo. I only come to Dzul for ALL My tattoos & piercings. I've been coming to Dzul for at least 3 Years & I Luv it. The staff are extremely Fun, Professional, & I can easily relate to Them. Catalina does Awesome piercing work. I plan on coming back to get my nose pierced once I save up enough money. (A Diamond stud) I also plan on getting a Boston Celtics back tattoo adjacent to the 49ers one.

Fantastic experience: Really satisfied with the work done. The artists have a high attention to detail which is what I was looking for. They responded quickly to my emails and adjusted the piece accordingly. It is obvious that they care about their work.

Fantastic experience: Could not have been more pleased! Was my first tat and the entire team was helpful, consultative and the studio was fricken fab! Alex did such an amazing job.. he and his brother are true artists.. loved seeing their artistry throughout the studio. Loved hearing their story and years of tatting.. highly recommend and will be back when i do my 2nd one

Fantastic experience: Recently moved from California and have been looking to get a portrait of my son done on my forearm. After doing extensive research on tattoo shops I came across Dzul Ink Lounge. I immediately knew it was the place for me. I went with Jacob and he nailed it! The entire staff was welcoming and gave the family environment from beginning to end. This needs to be your next tattoo shop you visit!!

Negative experience: My idea for a tattoo was simple, but for what I paid, the design was not impressive. There were lots of flaws, and it's fine, I was in a hurry and tired of looking, so it's my fault for being a bit impulsive. I paid over $550 plus tax for a simple design, and my quote was for $700, but I was very clear that I am already over what I was planning to spend. I was unable to get a refund on my deposit without a charge of $150, which should be a red flag, but I just went with it. I asked one of the ladies who works behind the desk, they basically traced an image I'd given them, quickly, and when I asked them to remove something, they erased part of it but not all of it, as if I just wanted some robe to be cut off, when the fold could have easily been entirely erased. I just wanted the basic idea down, so that was not a huge concern. I do want to say, it is alarming how much they charged for such little amount of work. I was in the chair for 40 minutes. I am sure these artists are able to do intricate, realistic work, but it seems like they are not willing to spend a lot of time on design. I'm not mad, everyone was nice, but I have had better work done for almost half the price since then. Again, my more recent tattoo was just line work, and it was more consistent, with better design by far, for half the cost I'd paid here. This is a tattoo shop for people who are either naive or masochistic, as the artists try to keep a celebrity lifestyle about their work that is probably unwarranted, even if they do have as much experience as they say they do. Proceed with caution.

Fantastic experience: Alejandro ended up doing a touch up (left side) on a tattoo I previously had from another artist (right side) … I found them through tiktok and was immediately impressed by their previous work… the more I went through their portfolios the more I knew I was ready to get my tattoo fixed, Alejandro took the time to sit and talk to me about the issues I had with my previous tattoo and understood I wanted to carry this with pride….he insured me he was able to help me with just that. After having two meetings we set a date to start and none the less I was so grateful for him and his team! The team was super professional and took the time to fix any and everything I wanted tweaked in his original mock up. I left leaving super honored and proud to be able to carry DZUL ink work on my arm. Definitely recommend to check out their website and make sure you’re able to prioritize their time and yours to coming together and creating a perfect tattoo of your dreams… thank you Alejandro and the team for helping me. I wish you guys nothing but the best! They are worth the stop so check them out! <3

Fantastic experience: Alex did such an amazing job on my piece that I had worked with a previous artist on and made me absolutely love it! He worked an old tattoo into the design and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The studio is beautiful and everyone there is so helpful and lovely to work with! I will definitely be back!!

Fantastic experience: Dzul Ink Lounge is the first and only tattoo shop I have visited in the Seattle area after moving up from California back in 2018. For however much longer I decide to live in the Seattle area, there will be no other shop that I will choose to go to other than Dzul. I had a cover up that was 9-10 years in the making, and with as important as this cover up was to me, I continue to be at a loss for words on how respectful and courteous the team at Dzul was throughout both of my sessions. I will be going back to Dzul whenever I am ready for my next tattoo, and I highly recommend you stop by for a visit and allow them the opportunity to bring your next tattoo piece to life.

Fantastic experience: Alejandro did an amazing job and the team to make my tattoo vision come to a reality. Always actively checking what works and having options available for multiple instances. I’ll def be getting more work done with Dzul. Everything came out clean and even better than I had envisioned.

Fantastic experience: The shop and staff, from the start of the process until the end, were incredible helpful, kind, and entertaining. I felt comfortable like I was in good hands the whole time. I really like the setup of the business and how they spread different roles amongst staff members who all contribute to getting a comprehensive and positive tattoo experience. On the pricier side, but as my dad always said, “you get what you pay for.” It’s quality art and quality service. Will def come back!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service and results! I wanted Alex to do my abstract armband because I'd seen such great work on his website. Shop is clean and staff are friendly and helpful throughout the process of design and work. They even touched up the tattoo a month later (for free) because I wanted it a smidge darker than it healed up. If you're shopping around for tattoo or piercing, GO TO DZUL. Their shop is established and successful because of the quality of work they do.

Fantastic experience: LOVED the team/staff. They took my husband and I as last minute appointments and were willing to work with us on a consultation visit and built a design around our budget. Definitely will come back to finish my tattoo!

Fantastic experience: Amazing artwork, detail, and extremely accommodating. My wife and I planned a trip to the area and were able to get booked before the end of our traveling. Very happy with the whole experience from consultation to aftercare.

Positive experience: I saw this piercing and tattoo place walking a while back. I had a nose piercing unfortunately it came out and my piercing closed. I wanted to wait but figured I would plan to get it re pierced. The first time I went there the piercing person was not in. I figured would call today to see if I could come in and was told I could. When I first got there the ladies behind the desk told me it could be a while 2 hours before my piercing. I told them had no issues waiting. The lady who was doing my piercing actually told me she would pierce my nose first instead of waiting the hours which I appreciated! I had gotten it in the same spot I originally got it pierced so it was a bit painful and it bled alot but she took her time and cleaned the piercing out for me. Gave me water and a candy. She told me I could sit in the front for a while and relax on the couch and shed check it again to just be safe. She gave me a spray to clean the piercing with and tissues. The piercing was a bit more expensive than I anticipated but it came out amazing and was grateful she took her time to make sure the piercing was ok.

Fantastic experience: The place itself looked amazing, and meeting Alejandro and everybody that worked there were extremely friendly and made my first time getting a tattoo just perfect, the detail was amazing I love the effort that was put in it so I could have something I dreamed of!

Negative experience: My husband and I went in to get a realism tattoo for my husband’s 1st tattoo on this upper arm. This is NOT a joke they quoted him $12-15k. I contacted many other tattoo parlors/owners said this is absolutely crazy pricing… the photoshopped artwork was amazing. Glad I’m not as gullible as they thought my husband was… Bad Business!!!

Fantastic experience: Alex and the team are amazing. The detail and consideration they put into the design was great, and so important to me since I was getting my tattoo as a tribute to my dog that had just passed. I knew I was in good hands from the beginning with their communication and thoughtfulness. The day of my tattoo appointment was even better. I was a little nervous since I haven’t had a tattoo in a while, but Alex put me at ease, and it was honestly very manageable. Can’t recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Dzul is the best possible place to get repeatedly poked by needles you could ask for. The staff takes great care in designing and understanding why you want a tattoo. They’re extremely professional and communicative. And the icing on the cake are the tattoos. I’ve gotten 3 so far from here and plan on more. Alex is 3/3 making fantastic art.

Fantastic experience: Jacob did a phenomenal job on covering up 2 of my old tattoos that were challenging due to size, being dark and placement on my shoulder. The team took the time to listen to my ideas and worked with me through the design process and ensuring I loved the final product. The crew makes you feel welcomed and comfortable the entire time and I cannot wait to work on my next one with Jacob!

Fantastic experience: The last month, I’ve been trying to find a place that would do my cover up how I wanted and Dzul Ink was everything and more. I had a great experience with Nicole and Alejandro! Nicole made sure I was happy with the stencil and made me feel welcomed in and comfortable! Alejandro was my tattoo artist and he did my cover up perfectly and fast! Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Dzul Ink! I will be coming back for my future tattoos!

Fantastic experience: Alex is a very professional and talented artist. We have been seeing him for over 1 yr and never miss a chance to get tattooed by him. Alex truly provides an amazing experience specific to you the customer. Get shop great staff. Nicole was able to trouble shoot my specific wants. Thank you

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a tattoo in Seattle I would highly recommend Dzul Ink Lounge. I appreciated the consultation and personalized experience. The staff is extremely friendly and Alejandro did a fantastic job.

Fantastic experience: Alex just finished my tattoo of a pacific rhododendron! He was super professional and kind. I didn't know his specialty was flowers but I got super lucky! Highly recommend. The supporting staff was also super kind and helpful with offering me pics of different options and pricing. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: Great work, awesome vibes! My cousin, mum and I each got a tattoo to remember our trip to Seattle and Alaskan cruise.

Fantastic experience: My best friend and I walked in with short notice and no consultation but had the tattoo we wanted designed and done beautifully for us. Alejandro is awesome, made a very comfortable environment, great conversation, and is such a talented artist. I didn't expect to have such a professional experience for my first tattoo, I'll definitely be coming back to Dzul for my second.

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done with Alejandro … he did a really good job. Im very happy with it. I enjoyed the entire experience. Its a cool shop, clean, friendly, professional staff .. I appreciate their thoroughness, feedback and honesty I felt really comfortable … like I knew Alejandro and his staff for years or something, lol! I took my daughter to get pierced (snake bites) with Cata and she not only did a great job but she educated her and walked her through the process. Was very thorough in placement and options. You can tell it was just as important to her that my daughter liked it. I got the same vibe getting my tattoo and I appreciate that. Definitely going back for future work

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Dzul for several pieces now and all the staff members are great! Alex has been the one to do my pieces and there’s a reason I keep coming back. He’s talented, efficient and very kind. He’s always willing to hear the ideas I come with and work with me to make my visions come to life. Of course I will continue coming to Dzul for my future pieces! Thank you Alex and Dzul team ❤️

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience getting my tattoo here! Alejandro is so professional and committed to getting your tattoo exactly how you want it. The staff was super friendly and I am so happy with the final product!

Fantastic experience: We had such a wonderful experience. Very friendly and professional. It was my first tattoo and they made the whole process really easy and stress free! They were able to accommodate us for walk-ins right away! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for tattoo shop in Seattle!

Fantastic experience: I wanna thank the team for making my first tattoo experience so memorable, smooth and special❤️ Alex and Adrian are so supportive which makes them great experts!!! Because of you guys I now wanna get a second one :)

Fantastic experience: I got my ear re-pierced here because it was a little uneven, and Cata did a great job! She was very gentle and a soothing presence (I hadn't had any piercings for almost 10 years so I was nervous about the pain). She did a great job making sure the piercing location looked good to me and had me check in the mirror prior to piercing so I could confirm the location. She explained aftercare and ensured I had everything I needed to take care of my piercing. I'd highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Big shout out to the Dzul Family for making my tattoo experience pleasant and memorable. The ladies at the front desk were always so sweet and welcoming. Alejandro did an epicable job on my charm bracelet, turning my vision into a masterpiece. Thank you all for being such kind and amazing souls.

Fantastic experience: The piercer Cata is one of the best piercers in Seattle! She has pierced my rook, medusa and conch so beautifully, all while providing me with the best 14k gold jewelry options. She’s also done both my tooth gems (Swarovski Crystal & genuine Diamond) I get so many compliments, always a great experience here!

Fantastic experience: I have been looking for a tattoo artist/studio to help me craft a coverup design for my first tattoo. My style leans more realism so I was looking for someone with skill in details, and I fell in love with the work of Alex & Jacob from their Instagram accounts. My fiancé and I decided to check them out for our matching tattoo of our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We called and planned a design session to start, which helped calm my nerves with an art review over zoom before we came in and had our tattoos done simultaneously. Alex did an amazing job with my fiancé on his first tattoo & Jacob did a phenomenal job with my smaller version. I even added on an additional little tattoo because I was having such a great experience. We left the seats incredibly pleased and already have our next tattoo sessions planned After two iffy tattoo experiences at other places, Dzul Ink Lounge provided everything I was hoping for - design help for a custom look, modern technology to make the final product stunning & excellent skill by the tattoo artists. Highly recommend checking these guys out for your next ink session!

Fantastic experience: Great customer service! They are always receiving me with great energy. Ive got my tattoos and piercings from here. Alex and Jacob dope tattoo artist and Cata great with the piercings. Dzul is one of the only places I recommend for tattoos and piercings in Seattle

Negative experience: Staff was friendly and place was nice. Artist was pretty good but also slow. Rates are far too high, they will give you a range and you should just plan for paying at the top of that range. You can find many better artists for cheaper. EDIT: I feel like I should be more clear about my experience here and why I'm giving two stars. The place is nice. It is a premium experience. The staff is friendly and the artists and designers are clearly skilled. I agreed to the price and can't argue with what I paid. The artists was slow, but the tattoo itself is very good. So why only two stars? I'm not complaining about the price just to be salty. This review is for anyone looking for tattoo artists, Dzul is not worth the price. I figured that a premium tattoo would cost a premium price, so I agreed not knowing because it was my first tattoo. I should have done more research, and after having worked with other artists I have found that this kind of premium experience is not worth the price Dzul charges anywhere on earth. Seattle has many talented artists, who are great people and provide amazing experiences. I would say I have preferred my experiences at other places, but this is a personal preference. However, they charge not even close to the price Dzul charges. I'm talking multiple grand difference in price, for the same skill level. So for anyone looking at this, please do more research on local artists. They are great, still provide premium experiences and deserve your support. I paid $800 for a custom tattoo from with more ink versus the over $3000 I paid for my tattoo from Dzul. Whenever I tell literally anyone, from regular people to experienced artists, they are flabbergasted at what I paid, and it's frankly embarrassing that I agreed to the price thinking that I needed to pay that much for quality. You can get that same quality at other places in and around Seattle without getting ripped off. Please support other artists and don't go to Dzul, they deserve your support more.

Fantastic experience: This was not my first time getting tattooed here. The staff are very welcoming and kind. Alex really turned my idea into real life artwork. He was also very patient and over all - just chill. The atmosphere is great ; they have a TV you can watch stuff on if you want! I definitely would recommend checking them out if you’re thinking of getting a tattoo.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dzul Ink by a friend. I got my first tattoo here and everyone was so amazing, friendly and welcoming!!! The session went by so fast of how comfortable I felt. The place is incredibly clean , it feels welcoming and everyone takes precautions to be as clean as possible. Jacob did my first tattoo he was really incredibly patient and detailed. I'm so glad I came here for my first tattoo it was a great decision. During the tattoo process the staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. Jacob was so good he would always ask me how I was doing and helping me to get distracted of the pain since it was my first time. When the final session was done, I was speechless with the results. I loved it!! I was not disappointed! I’m glad I went to Dzul !!!

Fantastic experience: I made a tattoo appointment with Alejandro and he's one of the best I have encountered with, plus a super awesome guy! Not only him, but his entire team were incredible with their design work and overall service. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Came here for a cover up and had a great experience! I really enjoyed collaborating with Casey on the design and being tattooed by Alex. Everyone else at the shop was also very welcoming and made the whole process a great experience. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Wife and I were visiting Seattle. Asked if they do walk-ins. Looked through their "flashes," and asked for 3-4 inch tattoo with simple line work and mild shading. Having over 20 tats, I'm thinking this cant take too long to do and it cant be too wild or detailed cuz again....walk in. I'm also well aware of paying an artist for their hard work. After asking the front desk for an estimate, I was blown away when they told me $900 for just lines and $1500 w/ shading. Now don't get me wrong, I get the artist has to eat, but $900-$1500 for a walk-in is crazy. Off a walk-in???!

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here and everyone has been so amazing and friendly. I'm not great with pain but everyone has been so friendly and welcoming and each session just flies by because of how nice everyone is. The place is incredibly clean and everyone takes extra precautions to be as clean as possible. Jacob and Alex are amazing artists and their commitment to their craft is amazing. Jacob did my piece and he was incredibly patient and detailed. I'm so glad I came here for my first tattoo and it was a great decision.

Negative experience: Their quote was astronomically higher than even the highest rated shops in the area. Update: Despite their response claiming I never had a consultation, I did, in fact have a full consultation in 2023 with a woman who put all my image references in a file, talked to me about possible designs and quoted me prices...very high prices.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dzul Ink by a friend from work. After looking at the artwork on their website I knew that I wanted Alex to do my dark romance book tattoo. I didn’t have a picture of what I wanted I only new what elements I wanted in the tattoo and the placement. When I had my first art workup sit down, I was blown away by what they came up with. They were great at offering changes to the design so it would accentuate the part of my body it was going on. They were never pushy or uncooperative when I suggested changes or tweaks to the design. During the tattoo process the staff went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. Alex was great he would always ask how I was doing and if I needed a break. When the final session was done, I was speechless with the result. I love every bit of it!! Alex truly captured the dark theme that I wanted and really made the elements come alive. I am already talking to him about my next tattoo. I would highly recommend getting your next/first tattoo with them. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: My first tattoo and I couldn’t be happier. A month later and my tattoo looks amazing and fresh. My friend joined me who has multiple tattoos and she was duly impressed with this studio. The quality, the vibe, the artist - exceptional. Strongly and unequivocally recommend Dzul Ink Lounge.

Fantastic experience: A unique approach: you first work with full-time art designers to brainstorm on your ideas and come up with a tattoo-compatible design that corresponds exactly to your vision. This design is then passed on to the tattoo artists for an exact replication using stencils. You can be sure that what you see is what you get! (proportions, colors, design). Thank you for the great experience!

Fantastic experience: Got my second tattoo here, and I will definitely be coming back. The attention to detail that Jacob put into my tarot cards was stunning. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I was impressed by how clean and organized the studio was, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The artists here are not only talented but also great at understanding and bringing your ideas to life. The entire experience was so positive that I can't wait to book my next appointment.

Negative experience: I got a nose piercing at this shop a few months before the pandemic began and had a memorably unpleasant experience. After having 4+ piercings in the past, this is the only place where the piercer (a woman, possible French or Spanish accent?) was rude to me and bad at her job. She had trouble getting the jewelry in several times, blaming the shape of my nose (I have a normal nose, never broken, no issues whatsoever) and trying to force it in. The whole experience was extremely painful and I ended up with blood running down my face. Again, never had an experience like this when getting my lip or septum done in the past. The piercing fell out a few days later, too. I wish I had written my review then, but chose not to pursue it because I didn't have the confidence to advocate for myself at the time. Hopefully their staff doesn't blame their ineptitude on the client anymore, but I'm not optimistic. Notice that they rarely reply or apologize to negative reviews. It says a lot about their character.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience. From the rad social media team that put them out there to find to the crew that made me feel excited and special as we worked through the art options. Then there is Jacob. Artist. Full stop. His vision to make what I wanted come alive exceeded it all. Tattoo day was fun, and he took care of me the entire way along. Book it. Pay the money. Show it off. Worth it.

Positive experience: Very happy with the end result of my tattoo--the artwork is amazing, the colors are perfect, and the process of booking couldn't have been easier. The shop's design team was creative, courteous, and communicated really well. Alex made me feel relaxed and comfortable while completing the tattoo, though it had been at least a decade since my last one. Everything was very clean and my healing was a breeze. The only thing keeping this from a 5-star is that I ended up having to wait nearly an hour past my appointment time as the artist was running very late, and wish I could have gotten that time back, but otherwise, this is a phenomenal studio and a talented team. When the tattoo gods tell me what my next tattoo should be, I'll head on back to Dzul!

Fantastic experience: Dzul Ink Lounge has a friendly environment with their staff, the quality of pieces, and the comfort they accommodate their clients. I had a pond tattoo sleeve that they drew up for me in a few weeks and it turned out amazing. They communicate very clearly with their suggestions and also the payments that are needed. I highly recommend checking them out for their work and the service they provide to each piece they make.

Fantastic experience: The Dzul Ink Team has recently made one of my dreams come true. I am a very meticulous person and I had a very precise idea of my tattoo. It only took two zoom calls with the Team to design the tattoo exactly the way I wanted it to be. Then Alex made the magic happen. The tattoo took less time than expected, was less painful than expected and, most importantly, looked better than expected! Overall, fantastic experience!

Fantastic experience: This is my go to tattoo & piercing spot in Seattle. I love that it is Mexican Mayan own, with Bilingual tattoo artists & piercer and talented staff overall. Athena and Alejandro were patient, accommodating and attentive to my vision and needs during my tattoo consultations and tattooing experience. I was impressed by their customer service, and appreciate them making me so comfortable.

Negative experience: Haven't gone here or gotten a piercing here but I AM an ex piercer and, them charging $100 for one nostril piercing is absolute extortion. I usually an pretty polite but I cackled over the phone when they said "$100 for one nostril". I don't care if they're all surgeons with PhD's, that price is an absolute SCAM. Piercing gate needs to be added to tattoo gate. This is almost as ridiculous as that girl who charged thousands for a tattoo consultation and then plagiarized the finished product.. everywhere else it's $35-$50, which is normal, I'd have even been willing to go to $60-$70. Many places try to sell themselves as "better than everyone and that's why we're expensive" when they're just scammers. Boycott pretentious tattoo&piercing shops like this. They're just gentrifiers. There's only one way to pierce. Needle through skin. It's not rocket science. Love- an ex piercer with 13yrs under my belt. Edit: if a majority of the reviews are split between 1&5, it just goes to show that those 5* reviews were paid for. The *1 reviews told me exactly what I thought. I'm glad their prices pushed me away before I made the mistake of booking here.

Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my experience at Dzul Ink. They were friendly, clean, and professional, and the level of artistic skill for the tattoo itself is incredible. Jacob is such a talented artist. I came from Florida to Seattle for these artists, and it was absolutely worth it. If I get another tattoo, I will definitely get it at Dzul Ink.
