Very happy with the work Zoe did with a sleeve of animals and geometric design. An all around great experience. Thank you Zoe!

Working with Zoe is a tattoo dream, and I cannot wait to be able to work with them again in the future. Besides having a clean, cute studio they are a very chill and thoughtful human. I felt respected and safe throughout my tattooing experience. The artwork I got tattooed is top notch, and healed extremely well. I often get compliments about the quality of the artwork. Seriously cannot wait till the day I can save enough to go back and for the shop to open up again!

I've been happily getting tattoos from Zoë for a long time + their studio is amazing! Handworkers Studio is a private studio (appointment only), that is quiet, calming, comfortable & pretty (with no taxidermy on the walls thank goodness).
Zoe does an incredible job throughout the entire process; from consultation to drawing, from customer service to careful & skillful execution of the tattoo itself + super helpful aftercare tips!
10/10 recommend Handworkers Studio to EVERYONE looking to get a professional hand poked tattoo :)

Beyond excited to find this beautiful image that she already had in her flash. I asked for a cedar sprig below and this made it incredibly special to me. The pic is 18hrs after she finished. It has not leaked anything at all. This is my 5th hand poke piece (1st by Zoe). Her attention to detail and the exceptional fine lines she achieves is astounding in my experience. Of course hand poke is a style that takes more time. But it's worth it. Can't wait to get more work done by her. I can see some future work that will include a friend that will be memorial pieces.

Words can’t describe how pleasant the experience was working with Zoe! The space itself is incredibly inviting and comfortable. Zoe made sure to go the extra mile to insure that I had a pleasant experience. I really appreciated that each tattoo is important to them. I recommend to everyone looking to feel confident in your tattooing experience go to Handworkers studio!

My favourite Olympia tattoo shop hands down!! 🙌👏
The space is amazing, quaint, relaxing/chill, beautiful lavender walls to help calm you if your nervous or anxious getting a first tattoo or being hand-poked for the first time.
Everything is so professional & super CLEAN, I've been to plenty of tattoo shops over the years from Seattle all the way down to Austin, Texas & believe me I've seen some things. Handworkers Studio is the perfect spot to book an appointment for either a small piece or big project.
I recommend anyone to check out their work, I've been getting work done by Zoe since 2011 & I'll always return for more!! 😍

I have three tattoos from the owner Zoë and she is amazing!! I can't recommend her enough. She is a machine free tattoo artist, otherwise known as stick and poke. She is the owner and sole artist at the studio and sometimes has guest hand poke artists at Handworkers Studio. The process is gentle, quiet, non-intrusive and intentional. Handworkers Studio is a safe and inclusive space welcome to everyone. Booking with her is super easy through email. I love this very special and unique tattoo studio.

Zoë is a great tattoo artist. Her studio is clean and so cozy. Starting a half sleeve with her was the best decision I have ever made! She is great at communicating and always creates exactly what I envision. I would recommend this shop to everyone who is interested in great hand poked tattoos.

My wife and I went to Zoe for matching tattoos and the experience could not have been more wonderful! Zoe is a thoughtful and talented artist who succeeds in creating a comfortable, clean, and fun tattoo environment. Highly recommend!

Zoe hand poked an incredible portrait of my cat Maxwell for my birthday this year and also did a beautiful conch shell behind my ear. She is kind, and very professional. Her private studio is very relaxing too! The work she has done for me thus far constantly gets compliments and I'm really looking forward to getting more work by Zoe in the future!
