Finding a tattoo artist in Washington

Artist rosters change. Profiles here follow each studio’s own website, so confirm with the studio before you book, and check the artist’s license in the DOL License Lookup. See the Washington tattoo laws guide and how we build the directory.

Tattoo artist FAQ

How many tattoo artists are there in Washington?

Washington's Department of Licensing counts 3,143 licensed tattoo artists statewide (August 2026). Seattle Tattoo lists 1,015 artist profiles (tattoo artists, apprentices and piercers) at 270 studios, taken from the studios' own websites.

Which Washington cities have the most tattoo artists listed?

Seattle (300), Spokane (98), Tacoma (91), Vancouver (87), and Bellingham (48) have the most artist profiles in this directory. Each city section above lists its studios and the artists at each one.

How do I find a tattoo artist who does a specific style?

Pick a style above. Each style page lists the artists whose studio names that style for them; the styles listed most often are black and grey (206), color (168), and American traditional (162). Always look at an artist's portfolio before you book: style is about the artist, not the shop.

Where does the artist information come from?

From each studio's own website: its artist roster or the artist's page there. Profiles show professional information only: the name the studio publishes, role, studio, styles, and the Instagram, website or booking links the studio lists for the artist. We don't collect anything from Instagram or other social networks.

How can I check that a tattoo artist is licensed in Washington?

Washington requires every tattoo artist and body piercer to hold a Department of Licensing license (RCW 18.300). Search the artist's name in the DOL License Lookup before you book; our Washington tattoo laws guide shows how.

Can I add, claim or remove my artist profile?

Yes. Use the join form to add a profile, claim and update the one built from your studio's website, or ask for it to be removed. Nothing is published automatically: an editor confirms each request through your professional Instagram, an email address at your studio's domain or your studio owner. A WA DOL license number is optional, and an editor checks it by hand.
