The best of the best and then some – Seriously? I would have to imagine that the negative posts here are competitors. There is no way in HELL that these posts are genuine. When we moved to Seattle, my boyfriend (at the time) did extensive research on shops here. He is heavily tattooed and I have two half sleeves. Our main priorities were to find a professional shop that took pride in custom work and was not relied upon flash. We were looking for hyper-realist artists and those who would apply their talent in creating one of ... read more

Fantastic custom tattoo shop – I have been going to Artcore since its opening, having followed my artist there during a large piece. In the years since, I have had many great experiences at the shop and have recommended my friends to get their tattoos there. I and all of my friends have had great experiences and ended up with top quality tattoos. I couldn't be happier with my experience at artcore, and my only advice is to be open with your tattoo artist about what you really want, and if you don't like it, let it be known b... read more

These guys are the skid row of "Artist" – During my Tattoo experience here I had asked my "artist" a question during the process. He stated the he is an artist and that he should know he is doing. If I had just walked away at that time! Instead I am stuck with a tattoo that is so muddy that the colors he picked make my arm look like a blue/green blob. The worst thing of all is that they will read this review,laugh and shrug it off. This is the mentallity you will deal with here.They need to decide if they want to be "artist"... read more

A great place to get a tattoo. – I would absolutly recommend Artcore. I've been tattooed by Christy twice, once at Artcore once at a previous shop. She's a total pro. Great artist, professional, personable, etc. The shop is attractive and clean, and while she's the only one who's worked on me, the other staff are friendly and helpful. All in all a great shop.

Do waste your time. You will be glad that you did. – I have had nothing but the best experiences at artcore tattoo studio and I have been getting tattoo's there for over 5 years. After being introduced to them at the first seattle tattoo convention, I was amazed at the work that I saw and how nice they treated me in such a busy environment, that the next day I went to the shop and made an appointment for a tattoo. Nothing less than amazing !!!!! When I venture down to georgetown and Artcore in particular, I am always greeted... read more

DO NOT waste your time – the name "artcore" implies that ART is at the core. These guys have NO work ethic, they will have an empty shop for days, and make an appointment for two weeks out. Their work is terrible, even at its best. The tattoo I received was too deep, and had to be reworked by another artist. Months later, It still looked like a giant, deep bruise all along my arm. I'd be surpised if anyone actually finished their apprenticeships. I KNOW their piercer has NOT completed his apprenticeship. They are all too bus... read more
