# Tattoo shops in Magnolia, Seattle

> Magnolia is a quiet, mostly residential peninsula northwest of downtown, best known for Discovery Park, Seattle's largest park at 534 acres. It isn't a tattoo destination. Ballard, Queen Anne and Belltown are the nearest areas with studios. Street parking is generally free, and buses are the only public transit.

Magnolia's bluffs and beaches wrap around Discovery Park, which has forest trails, meadows, beaches and the West Point lighthouse at the city's westernmost point. Magnolia Village, the small commercial district along West McGraw Street, has specialty shops and restaurants and a Saturday farmers market in summer.

The neighborhood takes in Briarcliff, Lawton Park and Southeast Magnolia. For tattoos, head to Ballard across the Ship Canal or to Queen Anne and Belltown.

King County Metro buses connect Magnolia with Interbay and downtown, and there's no rail service. Street parking is generally free. Discovery Park's shaded forest loops make a good gentle walk after a session. Save the beaches at West Point for after you've healed.

## FAQ

**Is Discovery Park a good place to go after getting a tattoo?**
Yes, for a gentle walk. Its 534 acres of forest trails and meadows offer plenty of shade and quiet. Keep a fresh tattoo covered with loose clothing, stay out of the water at the beaches until it heals, and skip long, sweaty hikes for the first few days, while a new tattoo can still ooze.

**How do I get to Magnolia without a car?**
Magnolia is served only by King County Metro buses, with no light rail or streetcar. Buses connect the neighborhood with Interbay and downtown, where you can transfer to the RapidRide D Line or light rail. Use Metro's trip planner for current routes and times.
