“Got my first and second tattoo from Angel. It was a super simple design and Angel was very kind and patient with me as we worked out the details: sizing, spacing, placement. Got it perfect on the second try! Communication was great! every little wince he apologized, even though I was being a big baby. If you go in knowing your budget and a basic idea of what you want, they'll work with you to make it happen. So happy with my new tattoos and excited to go back for touch ups in a month“

“I am OBSESSED with my lips!! I was nervous because this was my first time getting lip blushing, but she made me feel so safe and comfortable. She thoroughly explained everything before, during, and after the service. She really took the time to listen to my desired color and customized it perfectly. I was not in any pain nor felt any discomfort during the procedure. She is beautiful inside and out, and is an expert at her work. I will definitely be back!Service: Permanent lip makeup“

“I have been tatted by Spidey twice during the $50 Flash Friday deal! This is a very reasonable price for smaller tattoos, especially if you are only wanting one small one. Many places have a $100 minimum and no deals. He has a sick shop! All the people that work in the shop are super nice, welcoming and easy to talk to! Spidey took care of me and tatted me exactly how I wanted! His fine line work is amazing! For people that are afraid to get tattooed because of heavy hand artist. That is definitely not the case with Spidey! He is very gentle and not heavy handed whatsoever.I have also gotten my faux rook, nostril and tongue pierced by Kei! They are literally an amazing soul, I have never met an empathetic piecer before I met Kei! They are super gentle, and walk you through all the steps! They are super understanding and want the best for your piercings, even if they haven’t done them! I will now continue to get pierced by them and only them!!! I have also bought multiple jewelry pieces for my other existing piercings. I also have been downsized by them as well! All around wonderful services!!! Also just have to put out there that pricing is soooooo affordable compared to other shops in the Tacoma area!!! :)))“

“Upon entering the shop you feel a very welcoming/chill atmosphere. Halo is very professional and is very good at her job. I have been going to the same artist for a few years and when I saw some of her work online I knew I needed to get some of her work on me! Changing tattoo artists was a little nerve wracking for me but she made me feel very comfortable, it was like being with a friend. I chose to get my tattoo on my arm near my elbow and I had not been tattoed in a year or so, so the pain kinda sucked. Halo was very understanding of that and was more then willing to give me as many breaks as I needed. She is wonderful and I can’t wait to get some more work done by her!“

“I had my first tattoo done by Raye at the end of August when she worked at a previous shop, and she has since recently relocated to Rare Breed Ink Studio. The piece is a very specific butterfly with complex lines and details, and is something to me that has a lot of meaning behind it. It relates to work I have done with incarcerated people, my journey working in science, and mental health experiences. This was my first tattoo ever, I had no idea what sort of artist to look for to do an entomological tattoo or even how to find a good artist.I came across Raye's profile on her previous shop's website, and I am so glad I did. Prior to getting the piece, she was communicative and collaborative and responded very quickly to emails. While Raye prefers to do tattoos in black and white, this piece did include a bit of color and she used black and orange for my piece, and the color turned out really well. She has a very calm and centered energy to her, and I really appreciated this as someone who navigates an anxiety disorder. During getting the actual piece done, she really dedicated an incredible amount of care and precision to her art every step of the way.Ultimately, the piece healed really well. I keep getting asked, "Who did your tattoo?" and comments on how incredible it is. For a few people I've shown it too, they've randomly asked to see it again. I was even (positively) shocked at the final piece - I thought the sketch she showed me looked awesome, but when it was finished it was outstanding in a way that the original sketch can't compare to. Regarding the specific entomology design of the tattoo, while I don't think she necessarily advertises this, as someone who works in science I feel Raye has a lot of talent specific to scientific illustration. I hope to return soon and see her this time around at Rare Breed Ink for some minor touch up work, and all in all really appreciate Raye putting in her time and care into this piece.“

“Brandy did such an amazing job! I had my eyebrows microbladed and she stenciled the perfect shape, chose a color that best matched, sent me home with a very cute after-care bag with extra goodies. Her work is a steal at her price. If you're looking for the best artist to go to: look no further!“

“Had a great experience! Katie is very easy to work with and the space is cute and comfortable. The tattoo hardly hurt and healed quickly. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was a $200 minimum and we did not do a consultation. My tat was pretty simple though so it was ok. If I wanted something more complicated I would hope we could do a consult before the actual appointment. I would for sure go back though and highly recommend.“

“Amazing artist. Three years after getting my Doctor Who tattoo, I still get compliments even from other tattoo artists, and will always tell people about this place. Quality work for life and Lucas is pretty chill and knowledgeable. Will be getting tattooed by him only from now on.“
