Lakeside village at the end of Madison Street, best for downtime
Quick answerUpdated October 18, 2026
Madison Park is a quiet lakeside village at the east end of East Madison Street, with a small business district, a beach park on Lake Washington and the Washington Park Arboretum next door. It isn't a tattoo destination. Think of it as a calm place to unwind near Capitol Hill and Central District studios. Route 11 connects it to downtown.

Getting tattooed in Madison Park
Madison Park sits on the western shore of Lake Washington at the end of East Madison Street. Its small business district has cafes, restaurants and boutiques, and the beach park at 4201 East Madison Street has a bathhouse and summer lifeguards. The Washington Park Arboretum is next door.
There's no tattoo studio cluster here. The nearest are on Capitol Hill and along East Union Street in the Central District.
King County Metro Route 11 runs every day between Madison Park, Capitol Hill and downtown. The RapidRide G Line ends in Madison Valley at Martin Luther King Jr. Way, more than a mile short of the lake. Swimming at the beach should wait until a new tattoo has fully healed. The Arboretum's shaded trails are a better post-session walk.

Madison Park tattoo FAQ
How many tattoo shops are in Madison Park?
We don't currently list a tattoo studio inside Madison Park's boundaries. The closest options are in neighboring areas, shown on this page.
How do I get to Madison Park by bus?
King County Metro Route 11 runs every day between Madison Park, Capitol Hill and downtown, ending near East McGilvra Street and 42nd Avenue East. The RapidRide G Line also runs along Madison Street, but it ends in Madison Valley at Martin Luther King Jr. Way, more than a mile short of the lake.
Can I swim at Madison Park beach with a new tattoo?
Not until it's fully healed. Lakes can carry bacteria into broken skin, and soaking can damage a healing tattoo, so dermatologists advise avoiding pools, hot tubs and open water during healing. Sit in the shade with the tattoo covered, or walk the nearby Washington Park Arboretum instead.
