Union Ave Tattoo Company is a tattoo shop located in Lakewood, Washington. The shop specializes in body arts and has a primary category of tattoo shop. The shop is open seven days a week, but the hours are not available.
The shop has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers have had a great experience and have praised the shop for its professionalism, cleanliness, and talented artists. One customer said, "Steve did an amazing job on taking my ideas and turning them into reality, highly recommend, friendly and proficient at what they do. Will definitely be going back for more." Another customer praised the shop for being military and veteran-friendly, "They are extremely military/vet friendly the apprentice that did mine is actually a vet so it was nice being able to have military conversations while it was being done."
However, some customers have had negative experiences with the shop. One customer complained about the high prices, "I came here for my first big piece so I was naive about prices. I was charged $400 and the tattoo was 1/3 of the size it was supposed to be. Don't rip off beginners because those are the people who will keep coming back for more. Do better." Another customer complained about the rude behavior of the owner, "Be prepared to wait over an hour as a walk-in. The owner was extremely rude. Calling me a liar. Baby, I have receipts. Overpriced. Never again."

Both the wife and I got tattoos here. Both turned out great. The amount of extra time and detail put into mine was so amazing. Would highly recommend

This shop is awesome! I've had work done by both Q and DK and they are very talented artists. It's always nice seeing artists that can actually draw/paint. Shop is always clean and sanitary and are always accommodating! Definitely check them out for great quality work!

Terrible customer service. I have many tattoos, and this was the worst experience I've ever had with an artist. The owner (who tattooed me) was so extremely rude and refused to change the tattoo to what I wanted (said he would only do it in the script and font that HE wanted). And EXTREMELY overpriced. I was charged $200 for ONE word (my son's name) that took maybe 10 minutes.

I made an appointment through the phone, Steve did my tattoo. I wanted to get a dragon tattoo. He knew what he's doing and did an amazing job. š I will definitely coming back to this tattoo parlor again.

They just want money. He could not draw up a very simple custom design I sent hours before my appointment. I gladly abandoned my $100 deposit to not have Steve tattoo me for a criminal price.

This place is excellent. The artists are the best. They will make your ideas come to life and they will help if you need something up. The artists are very polite and very professional. I recommend this place to anyone that needs/wants to get work done. I will DEFINATELY be going back!

Couldn't be happier! The shop is amazing and super clean. First tattoo done was a cover up. It was done so perfectly you can't even tell it's a cover. Once I saw that, I was hooked and have continued to go there. Q and DK are as real as it gets! They are patient, honest and hard working guys and the prices are great. If anyone in WA looking to get a tattoo, Union Avenue Tattoo Company is the place you want to go!

Awesome place and the vibe was great. Got my first tattoo here, definitely recommend. The guy even stayed after hours to get it done. Probably going back next month to get another one. Thanks a lot man.

Union Ave has friendly service starting with Q who has done my tattoos and Tyler who did my piercing The prices are great for the results you get. I got my full sleeve done in two sittings so they work with your schedule to get exactly what you want. Definitely top of my list and Iām coming back for more.

I came here to get some work done, not only did Q do a great job on the tattoo; he stayed past hours to get it done. Super knowledgeable staff, and they care about the work they do. 100% recommend.
