Book online at booknow.cleopatraink.com/seattle/book, call +1 206-699-2822 or email [email protected]. The online tool books your first visit as a free design consultation up to 14 days ahead, and same-day requests need at least two hours' notice.

Yes, subject to artist availability. The website seattle.cleopatra.tattoo says walk-ins are welcome and that piercings are walk-in only. If you want a specific artist or a large custom piece, book a consultation first.

Yes, when you book online. Cleopatra Ink's booking tool says the first appointment booked online is a free custom design consultation: the artist reviews your idea or reference images and starts building a concept, and no tattooing happens at that appointment.

The website seattle.cleopatra.tattoo says the studio's minimum starts at $100. The final price depends on size, detail, placement and session time, and you get a quote after the free consultation. Cleopatra Ink doesn't publish an hourly rate; Seattle Tattoo's price guide shows typical Seattle ranges.

Cleopatra Ink doesn't publish a deposit policy for its Seattle studio. Because a first appointment booked online is a free consultation, ask about any deposit and the cancellation or rescheduling policy when you schedule the tattoo session itself.

The studio's Seattle gallery groups its work into realism, black and grey, color, and Old School, New School and neo-traditional. Its artists also list fine line, minimal, blackwork, dotwork, portraits and cover-ups, and the booking tool offers lettering.

As of October 2026, the studio's Seattle page lists five artists: Cio Tattoo (black-and-grey realism, cover-ups, Old School), Fulin Naz Gurluk (dotwork, realism), Oz Tattoo (blackwork, fine line, minimal, color), Seray Kafadar Tunç (color realism, black and grey) and Cihan Deniz (portraits, black-and-grey realism).

Yes. According to the studio, all five resident artists at Cleopatra Ink Seattle (Cio Tattoo, Fulin Naz Gurluk, Oz Tattoo, Seray Kafadar Tunç and Cihan Deniz) are award-winning tattoo artists. Among the awards named so far, Cihan Deniz's profile says the artist's work earned top honors at the Miami All-Star Tattoo Convention, and Cio Tattoo's profile describes the artist as award-winning. Each named award is listed on this page with its source.

Yes. The Seattle studio offers body piercing and a selection of piercing jewelry, and seattle.cleopatra.tattoo says it uses implant-grade titanium jewelry. That site says piercings are walk-in only, while the online booking tool also lists piercing, so call ahead to confirm.

18 or older, with valid government-issued photo ID, according to seattle.cleopatra.tattoo. Washington law (RCW 26.28.085) makes tattooing anyone under 18 a misdemeanor, with no parental-consent exception. Ask the studio directly about its piercing policy for minors.

Cleopatra Ink's aftercare guide says to remove the wrap after two hours, wash with antibacterial soap for the first two days, pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply tattoo cream three to four times a day for the first three weeks (six weeks in total). It also says to skip swimming for six weeks and tanning for 12 weeks. See a doctor if signs of infection appear.

Take Link light rail's 1 Line or 2 Line to Westlake Station, about 0.1 mile away. SDOT says paid street parking in Seattle generally runs Monday through Saturday with 2-, 4- or 10-hour limits and is free on Sundays; check the posted signs, and a garage is easier for long sessions. SDOT doesn't use QR codes for parking payment.

Washington requires every tattoo shop and tattoo artist to hold a Department of Licensing license (RCW 18.300). You can confirm any shop or artist with the DOL license lookup; see our Washington tattoo laws guide for how. City of Seattle, Department of Finance and Administrative Services open data lists Cleopatra Ink Seattle as a registered City of Seattle business since 2024 (data as of October 17, 2026). That is a city business registration, not a Department of Licensing tattoo license.
