Where to begin... took advantage of my cousin who does not speak English and overcharged him. They told him his piece would be 900-1,100. When he got the job done it turned out to be 1500! After he explained that he did not have the extra money (he paid them 1200) they took his card and ID as collateral which is illegal. I went to pay them a visit yesterday to get it sorted out and the 3 front desk girls were rude and not helpful. They laughed and called my cousin a liar. They said there was a paper that showed the 1500 dollar amount but my cousin said there was not a paper shown. When I called them out on it they said why would we change our ways for 1 person?. Almost laughable. The piece was great, looks good and no complaints there but very shady practices and unprofessional, worst customer service I have ever experienced. To the front desk staff, learn how to be professional and stop acting like you are better than everyone ( you arent!)

Alex did an ash infused symbol from my late fathers life and business on my wrist. It was someone elses drawing, which is always tough, and I was picky and emotional and a pain about it but they were only polite and helpful and the tattoo is amazing. It actually brought tears to my moms eyes and the original artist (an accomplished, professional artist) said that she was really moved by the skill and attention to detail from the original. Every day I am seeing more and more detail that I cant believe he was able to get into a 3 oval. Alex is a truly gifted artist. It really could not have been done any better

To big for there own good. Your better off going with someone else, they do good work however you will be treated by trash by there assistants. They need some front desk help bad! Been coming for years and never have I been treated as if my business meant nothing…. Save your money and go elsewhere the people here won’t even remember you or let alone care about your artwork.Look at all the reviews that are negative and notice all the thumbs up agreeing with the negative and none of the good reviews have thumbs up….

I went in for a consult for a black and grey realism tattoo sleeve. I was turned off with the “what’s your budget” question. Can you say car salesman?? In return I asked how much do their artists charge by the hour to ensure I wasn’t being over charged or given a price at the top of my proposed budget. They said they charge by the specific piece and not by the hour. Long of the short I was quoted 9-12 THOUSAND dollars! If I broke that down to let’s say $200/hr I’m being charged for 60 hours of work on the high end!!!!! We all know this would take 60 hours!! And that was after I was told the tattoo artists aren’t necessarily the ones who design your work and that most of the design is plucked off the internet! So what am I paying for?? Per their website and Instagram the tattoo artists at Dzul look VERY talented, but this quote made no sense to me.

I called several weeks ago to make an appointment for a tattoo touch-up. I let them know that I had a wedding coming up and the timeline I was working on. They said they could accommodate me and to send an email with a photo of the tattoo. Great! I did. They asked for some follow-up information, which I provided. TWO WEEKS LATER I get a call from the shop letting me know that they are booked solid and cant help me before my date, despite their original promise which was the only reason I was okay waiting two weeks for a response in the first place. I could have been looking elsewhere, but because I was told I would be able to have the work done I didnt, leaving me with less than a week to scramble and find someone else. So unprofessional.Updated after business response: Im honestly glad I didnt leave a deposit with this place-- I would have, too, had the shop communicated with me in anything resembling a timely manner, but I was left hanging after providing the information they asked for. I called initially ready to make a deposit and book an appointment. They said they needed a picture and a description of my goals. I provided it. They emailed me back saying that theyd love to help and provided a description of the work to be done, and asked for a phone number to comfirm. I gave them that, too. I waited, they forgot about me, booked other appointments over the time span I needed, and then had the gall to come on here and suggest that the fact that I hadnt put down a deposit is the result of anything but terrible communication and customer service.After reading some of the SEVERAL OTHER 1 STAR REVIEWS it looks like I seriously dodged a bullet. It doesnt change the fact that they wasted my time when I specifically told them I was on a tight schedule, at least I didnt waste any money on this place. If you value communication and want to work with someone who values your time and treats you with respect-- and you should, given the permanence of a tattoo parlors work-- definitely look elsewhere.

This review is long over due...my cousin and I came here for finger tattoos. We reviewed the design and then had to wait 45 minutes for our artist. We were warned about the placement and how it could wear off/need a touch up in 6 months. The artist recommended doing it on the knuckle, which my cousin did. I decided to do it on the inside of my finger. However, no matter what the placement was, they both wore off in 3 weeks. We paid $140 EACH for tattoos that took about 10 minutes to complete...I inquired about a free touch up and they denied it. Once again, we knew the risk of getting finger tattoos but never thought they would come off in three weeks. We truly thought we were paying for quality. Extremely disappointed in the price paid, outcome, and lack of ownership for a bad job done. See photos for before and after.

I showed up to my appointment and had to wait 30 min. for the piercer to show up. She redeemed herself, though, because she was very professional and sweet. My piercing is beautiful and I would go there again as long as I wasnt in a time crunch.

Went to get my nipples pierced and came here because they were the only shop I called that would pierce wktn gold jewelry. Desk staff is polite. A woman came and showed me two gold bars but didnt quite explain why. She just told me the piercer told her to show me. Cata the piercer had a nice bedside manner. Said she had been piercing for 20 years. My first visit she pierced my left nipple incorrectly. Upon my return, After 15 mins of unnecessary back and forth where I had to really advocate for myself in order for her to take some accountability and not charge me again, she agreed to re pierce it for free so I paid a removal fee and made an appointment. Shortly after I realized the right piercing was sinking into the hole. So I had to have it removed as well for a fee. No apology or acknowledgement that she had chosen jewelry that was too small. Over $500 wasted and tons of pain. I was about to spend thousands more on some tats over the next year but now will be looking for another shop. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

I came in to get a tattoo and was shocked at how amazing and detailed it turned out and how quickly Alex did my tattoo, within 1 hour and a half! Alex made me feel very comfortable and welcome and the shop was very clean.I see some negative reviews due to pricing, but keep in mind Tattoos are an investment and you get what you pay for they will be on you forever and for the quality of work, it is worth it. I will be coming back.

Let’s just say this place is unorganized, has a lack of communication and really doesn’t care for their customers. The only reason we chose this place was because we felt they were the best ones to exceed our expectations. They take your deposit regardless of your circumstances as if life doesn’t get in the way. Also they are way too over priced. I would not recommend this place at all!!!!

I went to get my nose pierced and they did not disclose that there was a piercing fee, a needle fee and then the usual jewelry charge so it ended up being $100. She also pierced my nose in the wrong spot that we had decided on and bent my other nose piercings jewelry by making me take it in and out. Would not go here. Go to laughing Buddha instead.

My boyfriend and I had planned a trip to Seattle from Texas, paid our $100 deposit and was really looking forward to getting our tattoos together for our birthday month. Texas was in a state of emergency and all flights were canceled. Completely out of our control. However, even in a natural disaster, they refused to give our deposit back. Meanwhile we were stuck in our home in Texas with no water or power for about a week. We are both hourly employees and our places of employment have shut down (day 11), so we are without jobs currently. $100 may not seem like much to some, and I understand “rules”, but youd think in the middle of a pandemic when people are TRYING to buy local and support small businesses, that they would support people going through a natural disaster. They gave us 90 days to reuse the deposit, but they failed to listen to Daysik’s... we are not just around the corner. We are in Texas, we have 4 kids and it took 4 months to plan this trip.Disappointed in the lack of empathy for people trying their best to support them.

Wow! What an amazing experience I had at Dzul Ink Lounge yesterday. Nia, Jenna, and everyone working the front desk were amazing! I didn’t catch everyone’s name but during my 13 hour stay at the shop I felt incredibly welcomed by everyone I met, including other customers. Alex was my artist and he did a phenomenal job! He was very accommodating and patient with me throughout the process and despite my new back piece taking a longer time than expected to finish, he was a trooper and stuck around to finish it even after closing. I want to thank everyone at the shop for giving me such an amazing experience! I will DEFINITELY be coming back and it’s 100% worth the money spent.

Review №26

Two stars because I had previous good experiences with their piercer, Cata. My grievance is their rescheduling policy. I had to reschedule a tattoo appointment the day before because I developed contact dermititis on and around the site I wanted it done. I understand the 48hr rescheduling policy where they keep your deposit if you reschedule too close to your appointment date under normal circumstances, but I didnt have a rash two days before my appointment! Youd think that they would make an exception for a medical issue since its not like I can come in anyway and get tattooed over my rash. But no, they only offered a shallow apology and kept my hundred dollar deposit. Unprofessional and unacceptable. No matter, at least they wont be getting more from me.

Very Overpriced! Poor ideas for cover ups. Forced to accept a cover up I didn’t like and paid to hold my appointment only to lose money because when I changed my mind about what I wanted they again overpriced the work so I cancelled my appointment. I’m sure their work is good but still very overpriced!

Dont take my word for it, just take a look at their work.This tattoo shop is a unique experience in that the artists have hired consultants to help create the tattoo designs and interface with clients so that they can free up their schedules to tattoo.I cant speak for Jacob or Antonio, but Alex went above and beyond to make sure my tattoo was finished on time.The shop will take care of you. And they take their covid guidelines seriously as well.

Appointment booking was easy and friendly. The artist took my concept and made it perfect. My tattoo artists work was amazing and I cant recommend them more for the work that they do. However, the overall experience leaves me never wanting to go back, not even for my free touch ups for the 90 days offered.My appointment time was at 10:30, the artist did not show up until 11:45 and the tattoo did not start until 12:20 after set up. I accepted that, while it was mildly annoying. They originally quoted me up to 7 hours and between $1,300 and $1,800, which was high but not an uncommon quote, so I did it since they get great reviews. By the time the tattoo was over it was 3:00, so in total appointment time it qas 4.5 hours, total tattoo time 3.5 hours. I was excited to he done early. I go up to pay and she said it was going to be $1,600 since I already put down my deposit she said. Which brings my total to $1,850...even higher than the higher end of the quote. Here is where my fault comes to play...I am not confrontational and I just smiled and paid. When I left  panicked over what happened I realized I paid about $400 an hour, which is insane and it took half the time. I emailed them because I found two things I wanted touched up ad ad offer 80 days of free touch ups, and emailed them asking why it was so expensive when it took half the time. Not asking for a refund as I know I signed and accepted it but just needed to know...and I have since received no response. When qe were working together on the tattoo they were very responsive via email..but now nothing..and I do not anticipate a response or touch ups. I say go there for the amazing work and dont make my mistake..get an hourly quote. I love my tattoo...but it is not an $1,800 tattoo by any means...except for thats what I freaking paid.Took the rating down to a 1 because they finally responded and their reasoning is just as ridiculous as their prices.

My fiance and I were having a really hard time finding someone local to do our tattoos (yakima county) because it was on such short notice. We wanted couples tats, and agreed on getting a rose on our right forearm. Nothing big or fancy because it was her first tattoo ever. Everywhere we called we were told booked until may booked until late april. We then decided to look beyond our horizon and stumbled across Dzul Ink Lounge. The artwork displayed on Google is astonishing and immediately caught our eye. Hoping that we could get a walkin or at least an appointment that same day, we gave them a call. Turns out, one of the artists, (owner/all around amazing guy) had some free time later in the afternoon and agreed to take a gander out what we wanted done. Luckily It was small enough that he was able to get both of us in the same day, and both tattoos done with in an hour each. When we arrived we were greeted with nothing but the best of respect, and positivity. Walking in those doors really made you feel welcomed. The artwork displayed on their walls is incredible. All in all it was the best first experience for both me and my fiance, and definitely worth the 2 and a half hour drive. He had the lightest touch while he was doing the piece, it was almost like the needle was never there. The best part was that the whole time, he conversated. This is definitely going to be the regular place for us. If I could give this a 10 star review, yall would have it In no time. Amazing work.

I had a great experience here! My piercer was Catalina and she gave me a septum piercing. She was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and fully explained all the tools and procedures she was doing. When I arrived, a group of men were clearly upset with the shop. They were visibly very drunk and the workers could not tattoo them because of this. Catalina was very professional and apologetic as she explained that apart from consent concerns, tattooing/piercing drunk people could potentially be harmful for their health. During all the commotion, the shop employees were very kind and professional. Anyways, I would die for Catalina, she was an angel and I will definitely go to her for my next piercing!!

Review №51

Me and my friend are visiting Seattle and were looking to get tattoos for her 22nd birthday. We called and were told that the shop minimum was $85. We sent them pictures of what we wanted. Very simple, no color, barely any shading, very small. We were told a wide range of $125-$225. Our impression was we were going to pay $100-$150. We were not told our total until after we got our tattoos done. We were charged $275 each + tip. We tried to talk to them and see what exactly we were paying for and why it was so expensive. We asked for a pricing sheet or a breakdown and They only told us it was the placement and placement only. The tattoo artist Emma and receptionist could not even look at us or explain why a 1.5inch tattoo was $275. We were very taken advantage of. I sent the tattoo to other people and everyone agreed. This isnt our first tattoo and we know how expensive tattoos can be and how they are priced. We are not from Seattle and they knew that we were not from here and they could charge us whatever they wanted. We asked them what a $100 tattoo looked like and it was an arrow smaller than a half an inch. Unbelievable. Do not go here if you are looking for a fair and decent tattoo or tattoo artist. Not to mention our work was completely copied from the web and not original AT ALL. It required no extra work for the artist to design the tattoo.

These guys are beyond good at what they do. They are respectful, helpful and very talented. I have nothing but praise for both Alex and Jacob (and their sisters, though I didnt get anything pierced). I had a design in mind and they helped make it come alive. Their art style is great, their customer service is superb and they make sure you are really well taken care of -- plus they are quick, but detail-oriented and responsible at the same time. Thats hard to do. Ive received so much positive feedback about my tattoo and I know who to thank - Dzul!

Dont waste your time. I went in to get a different piece of jewelry in my septum. I paid 15 extra dollars to have a professional do it, to ensure my jewelry is properly on because I struggle with the process and dont mind paying for it being done correctly. She was very nice when helping me however she didnt secure my ring in place and a couple of hours later I found myself without a ball on my ring. This has never been the case with any of my other four piercings which I treated accordingly. I do not recommend

Every time Ive gone to get a tattoo I felt as though I wasnt quite cool enough to be there. I accepted subpar service as a result. Alex and his family have completely changed the experience of getting a tattoo. I wanted a particular piece and was receiving a lot of pushback from other shops. When I reached out to Dzul Ink I was first struck by how professional they were. Ive come to realize that they are artists first. Alex was very warm and willing to work with me on what I wanted. And this finished piece is one of my most beloved ones. Alex even found a spelling error that was missed by five other proofreaders! Needless to say Im very grateful. The shop is open and friendly and the sense of family is very strong.Ive decided that this is the only place I will go to get tattoos in the future Im even planning my next piece now. I honestly wish I could more accurately convey the true gratitude I feel for such a personal experience.

Review №71

What a scam this place is. I would give them zero stars if I could. I booked my appointment after my consultation. They quoted me $2,300 so I put $250 down and signed the contract they have saying price may vary depending on what the artist thinks and deposit are non refundable. I made a big mistake signing that. I get a call six days before my scheduled appointment saying that the new price would be $3,000 to $3,500 for my half sleeve tattoo. I declined on that price and asked for my deposit back. They claimed I would loose my $250 because I didnt agree with the inflated price increase. It looks like what the scam is here. They have you meet with some office person they give you a low-ball quote and then when the artist gets around to looking at the size, scale, ect, they raise the price on you. Keep in mind you already put the deposit down and signed the contract saying deposit are non refundable. This seems to be a very unethical business model. I would never recommend this tattoo shop to anyone. This is the experience I had.

Review №76

I liked Dzul Ink Lounge. Id never been there before, but I heard a good thing about them from someone and thought Id try it out.My tattoo artist was Emma, and it was always fun going to each of my 3 or 4 appointments or however long it took to finish up the sleeve idea I wanted. She has a meticulous eye for detail and so much talent. She gives off this really kind and good energy too, which is important to me these days when letting someone come near me with ink.I didnt have a specific vision in mind, but based off my consultation Emma came up with one before I even walked in for the first session and went over it with me to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I only tweaked it a little with the choice of color and some other thing; she was both insightful and accommodating about that.The lead artist/owner was awesome too, as well as the other tattooist working there. Theyd check up on what she was up to from time to time and seemed to like consult each other about it or something. It was clear each of them takes their customers tattoos very seriously, and I liked that. Even the piercer and front desk staff would occasionally come over to check out the work and chat me up for a minute, which was always cool.Being there, it became apparent to me why this place is getting more popular. This shop seems to house only pros, and I hope they always continue to attract a lot of customers. Im not disappointed or regretful of the money I spent. The end result of Emmas work is pretty spectacular, and Im both grateful and proud to carry this design around with me throughout my life.Its not the cheapest shop in Washington but quality is never cheap. Dzul seems like some laid-back, more affordable, and non-pretentious version of Nordstroms in the tattoo world of Seattle, not a Walmart.I highly recommend this parlor if you have some extra cash and want truly good work done by good people. Dzuls price is absolutely worth the finished design and positive experience.^^^^^Id share an image of what I got but Im not really into doing that.

Decided to drop in on a dime after passing by. Unbeknownst to me it was approximately 10 minutes to close, but I was greeted with kindness and service in spite of rude and ignorant imposition. Unfortunately, I did not get anyones name, but the receptionist and piercer were both informed and sweet. Walked out with both ears re-pierced and a septum enlargement. Extremely satisfied customer. Clean establishment. Knowledgeable staff. Precise execution. A great experience and highly recommended. Thank you!

Everyone in the shop was AMAZING. They were kind and knowledgeable. I actually felt like they were invested in not only my tattoo but each one of my familys. I went with my mom, my aunt and my brother. My brother is autistic, he has a lot of ticks and was a little nervous. Alex and the rest of the team treated him with respect and patience.Not only were they amazing people, but our tattoos are BEAUTIFUL. They listened and worked to create something were all proud to wear.My family will treasure our experience and all of us cant wait to go back.

Helpful, friendly and clean. They designed my tattoo for me and any changes I wanted to make they were more than happy to talk about and do for me. A very good over all experience and I am absolutely happy with my finished tattoo. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

I researched tattoo artists all over the country and attended many tattoo festivals and expos for my third and most significant tattoo. I knew exactly what I was looking forward. I had a number of concepts in my mind that I wanted to integrate into a tattoo that covered my right shoulder blade, shoulder, and partial sleeve. I am 52 years old and the images and concepts told the story of parts of my life. I sent them to Jacob and over 3 sessions and 15 hours he created and tattooed what I am referring to as the coolest tattoo in the world. I love it - it was absolutely worth the drive from Eugene to Seattle 3 times. It was a blast being in his chair, listening to music, and BSing with him. Now I just need to find more places and times to take off my shirt so I can show off his work.

Cata did my septum piercing for me, and she was lovely! The shop is beautiful, very clean, and professional. All the staff was very nice and super accomadating. There’s a great selection of jewelry; I got a gold ring with some beautiful opals for a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

To be fair - they accommodated me and my schedule making an appt. for me an hour before they usually open.That being said;I wanted a watercolor type tattoo. I specifically said no black. i wanted the simple wave in teal and the sun in orange and yellow. He kept trying to talk me into black outlines to make it pop. I had to fight to keep the sun from being outlined, I caved on the wave but said i wanted it to be delicate. I shouldnt have given in. Neither is what I really wanted. I sent artwork in and was told they would send me artwork back for review. The review ended up being while I was sitting there. It was not a comfortable or very good experience. The thing that really got me... I paid $285 for those two tattoos. Once they are healed I will likely have to find someone that can fix them up for me.

If I could give a Zero star I would. I have never left a review for anything before and am only doing so now since the tattoo I got was so bad. Everyone there was nice and friendly however the tattoo I got was very poorly done and I will forever regret going to this store to get permanent ink put on my body. Please be wary if you are going to get even the most trivial of tattoos because it will most likely come out very poorly as well

Dont bother with this place. They dont listen to your requests and they just want your money up front before they will even take any steps to working with you and even then youll wait forever for an appointment. If you are asking them to draw art for you be prepared to be disappointed. You may as well just screen shot a clip art... that would likely be better than what they will create for you.

I was just visiting seattle and after convincing my mom to let me get a nose ring, we headed over to Dzul. I had Cata and she was such a sweat heart! She explained everything super thoroughly and re-assured me it would be fine. The piercing took 10 minutes in total. The staff is welcoming and the parlor is both clean and has a good ambience. It was virtually painless and I am so happy with the result. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a piercing.

I just got a sick upper arm tattoo. I never review places but this place definatley deserves a perfect rating. Made it very comfortable for me to sit through 9 hours and even put on Netflix for me on the big screen. All the staff are great and Alex who done my tattoo is real good and took his time to really put in some good details. Im coming back for more ink!
