Deep Roots Tattoo-Body Prcng

Poor quality and high prices. I was pretty disappointed by the treatment and quality of my tattoo despite the place appearing very clean and the staff being friendly. I was scheduled with John and after he had me wait for nearly an hour after my scheduled time he rushed through my tattoo like it was no big deal. What should have been an hour long tattoo ended up being 20 minutes- this would be fine if it was nicely done. He was super cocky about being really fast and efficient but when I took the wrapping off at home I saw a lot of flaws and errors that could have easily been preventable if he would have taken the time that I paid for. It is absolutely inexcusable how poorly the tattoo was done- maybe if it was his first couple months of doing tattoos but that wasnt the case. Overall I was charged $120 for 20 minutes worth of carelessness. I highly recommend finding another place that will care more about craftsmanship and less on ripping you off.…

First "unusual" piercing. I've gotten my ears pierced at the mall at Piercing pagoda several times: when I was a child for my lobes, cartilage and eventually added more to my lobe. So I've had SOME type of experiences with piercings. One of my best friends got her lip pierced in high school and since then I've thought it was really cool, but always wondered about the pain. She went to Top Tattoo in Shoreline/edmonds area and said it was really good and clean. I ended up going to Deep Roots from rumors that it had been a great shop. I finally decided to get my lip pierced and Deep Roots on the AVE seemed to call out to me. I go to the UW so I've walked by about a trillion times and have peeped in to ask questions. Walking in was an experience in itself; the lobby looked like a gallery. The jewelry was nicely displayed in cases and it was well lit (which is a personal thing of mine--liking well lit places). The two people at the counter were very welcoming and my piercer whose name was Nicole (like mine w/o the 'h') was very very friendly! Highly recommend her service! I was pretty nervous at first and hard time deciding on jewelry. In the midst of my first jewel being sterilized I changed my mind. Graciously she said to me "Honey that's fine! This is going to be on your face and I want you to be happy with it!" Right then and there I knew I'd come to the right place. From the cleanliness of the parlor itself, the cleanliness of the utensils used, the cleanliness of the piercing artist, and to the great customer service .. It was AWESOME! The piercing itself didn't hurt more than a mere pinch. I personally believe that this is the best piercing parlor in Seattle.…

Great clean shop. I wanted my first piercing to be at a clean shop. I knew that i wasn't going to be get the best services because i don't have any tattoos or any piercings. I just wanted a nice clean shop where i felt safe know they were clean. I walked into deep roots and the lobby set my mind at ease. The shop has a wide open lobby with jewelry on display. I was suprized to get nice customer service from the guy behind the counter. The piercer who did genital piercings wasn't in that day so i had to come back when he was in. Bummer. The day of the piercing Tom my piercer had the girl behind the counter fill out all my info and made me sign the agreement. He walked me back to the room and started setting up the stuff. He put on rubber gloves and a face mask. He had me lay down on the table and said to get comfortable. He got the stuff ready. I was nervous as hell but tom explained that hes been piercing for 20 years and had at one time 10 fgenital piercings at one time so he knew what pain i was going to go thought. He mapped out where the bar bell was going to go and asked if i thought it was good. I agreed. I lied back down and he pulled the needle out. He told me to take a deep breath and breath out. One two three. It was jabbed in and done like that. The pain wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. The whole thing took less then five minutes and i was out the door. Tom told me all the aftercare stuff that i needed to do and some tips about what i shouldn't do in the next few weeks. He told me that it would take 2-3 months to heal and to take care. The whole experience was what i thought it was going to be. I will be going back to deep roots next time for my next piercing. If anyone wants a good experience for there first time and don't know where to go. This is the shop.…

Very Impressed!!. Very clean and sterile tattoo parlor. I saw Rion for a VCH piercing and was very happy with my experience. He is very professional and easy going. I was EXTREMELY nervous and anxious. He really took the time and was understanding. The other employees at Deep Roots were great as well!! Very friendly and professional. I didn't feel outta place at all. I will be going here for all my tattoo and piercing needs. If I could rate higher, I would. Thank you Rion!!!…
