Tattoo shops in Fremont
The self-declared Center of the Universe, with studios near the bridge
Quick answerUpdated October 18, 2026
Fremont is Seattle's quirky, artsy neighborhood, self-styled "Center of the Universe," and several tattoo studios sit within a few blocks of the Fremont Bridge around North 35th and 36th streets. It's walkable, bikeable via the Burke-Gilman Trail, and served by buses rather than light rail. Street parking in the core is paid until 8 p.m.

Getting tattooed in Fremont
Since the early 1970s, residents have called Fremont "The Center of the Universe," and the slogan appears on a welcome sign. Public art is part of the identity. The Fremont Troll, an 18-foot concrete troll clutching a real Volkswagen Beetle, has lurked under the north end of the Aurora Bridge since 1990.
Tattoo studios cluster near the Fremont Bridge along North 35th and 36th streets and Fremont Avenue North, so it's easy to visit a few in one afternoon. The Fremont Sunday Market runs year-round near the bridge from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.
Fremont has no light rail station. Route 5 connects it with Phinney Ridge, Greenwood and downtown, and the RapidRide E Line stops at North 46th Street on Aurora Avenue, uphill from the core. Paid street parking runs Monday through Saturday until 8 p.m. After a session, walk the canal-side Burke-Gilman Trail in long sleeves rather than spending the afternoon in the sun at nearby Gas Works Park.

Fremont tattoo FAQ
How many tattoo shops are in Fremont?
We list 7 tattoo studios in Fremont, Seattle, including Hidden Hand Tattoo, Studio Arcenum, and Blood Orange.
How do I get to Fremont by public transit?
Fremont has no light rail station. Route 5 links it with Phinney Ridge, Greenwood and downtown, and the RapidRide E Line stops at North 46th Street on Aurora Avenue, uphill from the core. Many people bike or walk the Burke-Gilman Trail along the Ship Canal instead.
Is the Fremont Sunday Market a good outing after a tattoo?
Yes, it's an easy, low-key outing. The market runs every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. near the Fremont Bridge, rain or shine. On sunny days, cover a fresh tattoo with loose clothing, because sunscreen shouldn't go on unhealed skin, and watch out for crowds bumping a fresh arm piece.
