This is the worst tattoo shop of ever been to but I'm not from the shitty fucking state, So perhaps they are just low standards of people here. The artist I saw was Kevin and he draws like a five-year-old. Fuck this place Read Less

This review is long over due, but I got my monroe piercing redone here a couple of years ago. It took the gal FOREVER. She apologized a few times during the process, stating she was a perfectionist. I was okay with the length and difficulty she was having, until I saw when she was finished, that the piercing was made directly below my old hole. I have had my monroe repierced before and have NEVER had this problem. I was shocked, after all that, she didn't even get it in the right spot after our clear consultation and her acting as if she could do it no problem. Now I am reminded every day I look at my monroe and see a scar right above it Read Less

This tattoo and piercing shop is great. It’s a very sanitized and a well kept place with extremely nice employees. I got a nose piercing done and the piercer made sure to be clean and have clean equipment. It was done in 45 seconds! He was very professional and knew what he was doing and provided me with very good after care information. 10/10 recommend. Read Less

If I could give this place a zero rating I would. Called to make an appt to get my daughter's nose pierced so they told her to come in the next day at 6pm. My husband and daughter show up at 6pm and no one even acknowledges they're there. After 30 minutes my husband has to ask someone about my daughter getting her nose pierced. The piercer starts doing a tattoo and says they don't do appts for piercings. Great customer service...Not to mention they were also drinking beer. Read Less

Eddy is doing a back peice on my husband. It is absolutely gorgeous and has exceeded all of our expectations. The artwork is all custom. The colors are bright and beautiful and still look crisp and fresh. It is always fun to go in with him to his appointments because the environment is fun and relaxing. Before he starts tattooing, Eddy always cleans and sanitizes the station in front of us and it is very clear that he does a thorough job. I recommend Maple Valley tattoo to all my friends when they are looking for a tattoo artist and I completely trust Eddy for all my tattoos. Eddy did a tattoo of my dog on my wrist and it makes me smile every time I see it because it looks just like him. We have been so happy with our experiences at Maple Valley Tattoo. Read Less

So thankful for the people here. I had my nose pierced a year ago there and from start to finish the experience was awesome. The staff was professional and personable and the environment was inviting and clean. Less than a month ago I bought a new nose ring and within a few weeks the jewel fell out. Kevin didn't even blink at the thought of replacing the jewelry for me. When you're limited with local tattoo shops, it's a blessing when it's not only a great experience but quality service!

Maple Valley Tattoo is the best tattoo shop around. I use Zack and he always does amazing work. I am currently working on my third tattoo at this shop and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have both intricate and simple tattoos that both turned out even better than I was expecting. Some of the reviews mention no one booking their appointments over the phone and that is because they need you in person to put a cash deposit down to hold your appointment. All the artists at MV tattoo have years of experience and have done every tattoo imaginable (or something similar.) They always make you feel comfortable and will get you anything you need. They check in with you multiple times and offer breaks whenever you need to stretch. They provide beverages if you're thirsty, and will get you food if you're hungry (no eating in the tattoo area of course.) One of the best attributes of this business is the cleanliness. I have been to multiple tattoo parlors and I chose Maple Valley Tattoo because they are by far the cleanest and most professional. Everything gets wiped down and sterilized and the shop itself is un-cluttered and organized. They have updated appointment systems and and modern technology to easily aid still-searching customers on what tattoo they want. Overall, Maple Valley Tattoo is a place I recommend to all my family and friends. If you're looking for a CLEAN and PROFESSIONAL tattoo parlor, Maple Valley Tattoo is the best place within at least 50 miles. Read Less

Best shop I have ever gone to. Every one does great work. One had a few tattoos done by Nate and the are awesome. Love the fact they have there machine timed and charge off that and not the clock on the wall, only shop I've ever gone to like that and it's the only way to go Read Less

Best shop ever. I've gotten 3 pieces done here. Two of them pretty big and they've all come out wonderfully. All the artists of piercers are so talented. And they are all great people to hangout with while you're getting worked on. I highly reccomend this shop if you looking for a new tattoo or piercing!! Read Less

This place has by far been the best Tattoo shop I've ever been to. And believe me I have spent hours under the needle. Great artists, Great piercers, and back in the day when the bar was owned by the same people it was amazing. Nate is a great artist and I don't think ill ever go to another Artist. Had them do my Alex grey tool Eye, came out perfect and was able to change exactly what I wanted to make it personal to me. I will never forget the hours I've spent there and I highly suggest this shop. Thank you guys. Was great. I'll be in soon for another tattoo. Thanks again. Read Less

Great artist, great people.  They made this experience so much fun, despite starting out very  nervous!  Totally clean and professional.  Great prices to in comparison to tgeir competitors!  My tattoo was a memorial and is super important to me, and I am extremely pleased with the results!

When I checked this place out it was clean and the guys were nice. On the day of my appointment, however, my tattoo artist was ten minutes late and made me wait while he smoked a cigarette and texted on his phone. He didn't put me in the chair until a full 30 minutes after my appointment time. Yes, I was watching the clock. I showed him a photo of a delicate ring tattoo and he proceeded to draw it on my finger for my approval. Unfortunately, it was drawn with a thick felt tipped marker making it hard to evaluate the design. When my husband and I expressed concern, he assured us that the tattoo line would be much thinner. We told him we wanted the heart to be smaller and, overall, we wanted it to be petite.  Because what he drew did not give me the opportunity to get a sense of what it would actually look like, I made the mistake of trusting that he understood. Meanwhile, his coworkers put the movie Not Another Teen Movie on the big screen.  This was offensive and unprofessional even for a tattoo parlor. Had it been playing when we arrived, we would have left. Had we been staying much longer after it was started, we would have objected.  The tattoo I received was not petite. It was not delicate. The heart was not smaller.  I will post a photo of the one I showed him (on the left) and what I got (on the right). It was an awful experience. Probably my last tattoo (I have three). And now this is my wedding ring. Read Less

Years ago, I had looked at their website and did not find the type of style I was looking for.  Times have changed.  I took a second look when a woman I know said she was very happy with the work she had done there.  The website shows a good example of the work done by a number of artists. I was looking for someone who could do nice line work and was impressed with Nate.  My daughter and I had matching tattoos done a week ago and they are gorgeous.  The tattoos have clean lines and they are both healing nicely. We will be returning to have tattoos completed with some more blending, but they are beautiful now.The shop was clean and orderly. The artists are meticulous about having a clean and safe space.  Even the bathroom, though masculine, was very clean. Read Less

Not sure how you think you can run a long term successful business when you don't return phone calls. You may be booked up now so that's why you don't return calls from interested potential clients but that season will run its course and you will eventually run out of business. Read Less

I had both my nipples pierced here about a 1 1/2yrs ago.  Now realize I'm a big guy and can handle pain...6'8" 280lbs...First of all I never experienced so much pain in my life... And I've handled being stabbed in the leg, and never use the novicane at the dentist....but Oh My God!!  I literally told the guy to get the second one through on the first try or I was gonna kill him.... After a year, they just wouldn't heal.  I salt soaked them nightly.I went to the Laughing Buddha on Capitol Hill and found out the piercer went too deep.   And wasn't supposed to use captive rings either...  Took them out and all the tenderness instantly stopped... Healed quickly Read Less

Sadly disappointed. Left a message via Yelp, no reply. I called the shop last Friday I was told they were booked up, I had to ask they guy to take my number so I could book an appointment. It's been a week with no reply.Maybe this is because I asked for a quote on a simple one color 3 inch symbol, he didn't know and some told him that the minimum job is $80. Not worth their time. I would rather have an artist that cared about what their doing. I would recommend Benjamin from Apocalypse on Capitol Hill, but he just opened a shop in Germany. Still searching for a real tattoo artist. Read Less

Got my ears pierced here a while ago. At first they seemed like a decent shop, very clean and sanitary, so I wasn't worried. I got two piercings on each earlobe so I would have a total of 3. The piercer had her teenage son hanging around the studio and I think she was distracted because she put them incredibly close together. I couldn't use my original piercing hole at all. I tried to make it work, but even the tiniest infant studs were touching each other. She did not instruct me how to take care of the piercings, just told me to come back if they swelled up. After about 6 months they were still not healing well so I went to a shop in Seattle with a great reputation. They informed me that the metal that was used wasn't good quality and switched out my earrings. Shortly after that, my ears healed quickly and painlessly. Go somewhere else. I ended up paying triple what I would have paid if I just went to a proper piercing studio in the first place, and healing took twice as long. Read Less

I have been going to maple valley tattoo for over 3 years Eddie is my artist that shop has grown into not only nicer but friendlier crew the girl with the so called infection in her belly button these guys will touch no one without ID I've spent hundreds of hours there don't read that review and judge this shop that will be a mistake  for anyone that doesn't want a tattoo like hers I would be more worried about the bad ink anyway check these guys out good prices great artist awesome environment 10 s up Read Less

The space is clean and sanitary and a TV there to watch. For a tattoo, I don't think I would come back again though. I wanted something without an outline- freehanded, and I didn't get that at all. I also wanted to add detail to an old tattoo and another artist there told me it was impossible to cover some of he black ink. I went to Majenta in Renton instead and she added the detail I wanted no problem. I think the artists are talented, but do need some better customer service skills. Read Less

No better studio around, period!  I had my 7th tattoo with Eddie yesterday. Has been a few years since my last one.Very clean studio, ALL treat you like family.  From Eddie, Zack, Bobby and Nate all very professional and all are great on what they do.Setting up another one already!  Give them a chance, you wont regret it at all. Read Less

Had my first tattoo done there Zack was my artist and he was great! They are very clean and very open feeling. I will be returning for future tattoos for sure. Very well priced I thought! They sell plenty of stuff for aftercare. I was very impressed with Zack taking his time to draw my tattoo even though he was just copying a signature he really put a ton of effort in getting it exact which I feel it really is an exact copy. I highly recommend this place to all looking for a great tattoo experience! Read Less

Currently I have my nose pierced, my triple helix, my tragus, three lobe piercings on my left ear and two on my right. I still want my nipples, three cartilage piercings, and maybe my tongue. I will be going to Jim for all of this. After doing my nose, I loved his attitude and finesse so much that I went back for my triple helix. He recognised me and knew me name. I knew immediately that I know had a piercer. I don't think I could go to anyone else for my piercings. I trust Jim, he even told me he wouldn't give me an industrial piercing because it wouldn't look good with my ear shape. I love honesty and I'd prefer that to getting a weirdly placed piercing :) I haven't gotten any tattoos from here (or any at all) but whenever I go in, the artists are working on artwork for other people and they seem really invested and focused. If the artists are anything like their piercer, I wouldn't worry at all! Love you Jim! Read Less

This review is for the Piercing Studio.After going almost a year with out my jewelry, I couldn't handle it any longer, I need it back in, NOW!!  I walked in last night asking for help with putting my jewelry back in. I had removed it all in June of last year before my summer job in Alaska, then went on to travel the world and kept forgetting to put my jewelry back in. Finally in trying to do so, nearly a year later, my holes had shrunk, not completely closed, but I needed help! They took me right in as a walk in, the piercer was just getting finished with some work on his own tattoo, I didn't have to wait long. It took no longer than 30 minutes for him to get everything back in place. During which they were playing "That's My Boy" on the big screen with Adam Sandler, I was laughing the entire time... OMG YAY!!! Done!!! I no longer feel naked and am whole again. Thank you Mister Piercer! (I think his name was Jim, but sadly I can't remember for sure...short term memory much?) I asked how much? "I don't charge for putting your own jewelry back in" so I handed him a THANK YOU VERY MUCH $20 bill and was on my way.Thanks for being awesome Maple Valley! Read Less

I went and got my n*****s pierced, I had a problem with the jewelry, I didn't realize it was the jewelry all I knew is that I was in a lot of pain, so I called him and before he called me back I had to remove the piercings. He called me less than 24 hours later and told me he had an appointment in a half hour but if I could get in there he would put the rings in mine. My n*****s were so aggitated, on the the first n****le I actually passed out, he took his time with me and doctored with me, I had him on one side and my husband on the other, even tho his appointments were waiting. He is a WONDERFUL, EXTREMELY professional piercer who I would DEINITELY use again. My n*****s look and feel GREAT!! Thanks Jim!!! Both my husband and I are VERRRRY happy HAHAHHAHAHA Read Less
