Pacific Ave Tattoo

this is THE PLACE for tattoos in tacoma. i have 9 tattoos total and i’ve gotten 7 of them here. all the artists are especially talented and caring towards clients in making sure they’re comfortable. will never go anywhere else for a tattoo!!

Unbelievably awesome! 😎 My wife and I went to get tats on their Flash Friday deal. Couldn't be happier with the results! I'm definitely getting another tat here with Mia.

I got my first tattoo here today, and it was a wonderful experience. The artists were very friendly and kind. Mia, my artist, did a wonderful job on my tattoo. I'm definitely coming back to have her color it in for me. I'm definitely going to keep going here for my future tattoos.

Got these during Friday the 13th $40 special. Couldn't believe the little line work for the price. Highly recommend and am already booked to get more. Great place great staff great atmosphere.

This was by far the best flash experience I’d ever experienced. Huge shoutout and many thanks to Javi who really set our experience over the top. We arrived around 11:30am and the wait was already really long. We waited nearly six hours to be seated with an artist but the staff was incredibly friendly and offered plenty of candy throughout. The entire atmosphere was very welcoming and even strangers became friends as we waited. When we got to work with Javi, he was very friendly, insightful, and passionate! You can tell he loves what he does and I really appreciate that. He quickly got adopted into our friend group and gained 3 new returning clients. Although the wait was long, the staff here maintained positive vibes and a clean and inviting environment. Would absolutely recommend and will absolutely be going back for my art by Javi!

Always friendly and welcoming great staff 🖤

went in for the friday the 13th event. the wait was long but staff was friendly and communicative. Javi was the artist for my group and he gained returning clients from us. his line work and shading is beautiful and we are very thrilled with our tattoos. we were there for hours and they made us feel comfortable and kept positive energy despite probably being very fatigued from a long day. Javi definitely takes pride in his work and talked to each of us about our tattoo placements making sure we would be satisfied with the results while explaining composition. so much more than we expected for a flash event. at the end of the long day, we overheard the staff talking about how they could improve the event in the future, concerning wait times and complicated tattoo placements. Definitely will be returning enthusiastically.
