Just got my second tattoo from the shop by aron. Awesome dude super down to earth. He did an excellent job on my girls name which i had tattoo on my back. He was very patient and in no hurry which made me feel comfortable. Through the tattoo he talked making it rather a relaxing experience since tattoos arent the greatest feeling. The price he did it at too was amazing specially for the quality of work he did. I would highly recommend him to any friend. Actually i did and now my buddy is getting a tattoo on his arm by him. Overall a 10/10 experience at bulldog tattoo and the use great products to keep your tattoo at its best. Ive been to shops that will just stick gauze on and tell you to mouisterize it however at bulldog they use a special pad that pretty much absorbs only the blood and none of the tattoo ink so it doesnt stick to your fresh tattoo the next morning. I also love the fact that Aron said he would shade it in for me to make it look better. Some places charge a ton extra for shading. This place is about the best place you can go to in the Olympia area hands down.

I chose this tattoo shop because it was most practical. It was cheaper and I didnt need to make an appointment. But, that is where the good stuff ended. The artist was rude. I showed him what I wanted, but asked for changes in the design and he got irritated. The piece that I had done took about 2 hours. When it was finished and I looked in the mirror it was not what I had wanted. The yin-yang symbol that I showed him has solid colored, just black and skin-tone. He had tried to do some kind of shading so that it was not just the black. I asked him to fill it in, and he got angry. Now, it looks like a kid just scribbled in the shaded area. Needless to say, I will NEVER be going back, even for the touch-ups that I will most definitely be getting.

Very, clean, brightly lit shop. All the guys were very nice. Travis did a great job and set me at ease, was totally cool, even though I had a hard time sitting still (I forgot how much they hurt) and he made a casual joke about it not being like riding a bike. Put me at ease. I had hugle concerns about my tattoo because of my skin tone, my olds tattoos turning in to non descript blobs. They took the time to talk to me about it extensively on 2 delegate occasions. It looks great, we will see how it heals. my husband can't wait to get his done there next. There were a quite a few return clients there while we were there. Which says a lot about the place.

My fiance and I had a last minute whim to get a tat, after much research we decided upon this shop. Even though we had no appointment and they were booked for the day, the people at the shop were very accommodating when they learned we were from out of town. They fit us in later that day. My fiance described what he wanted and the artist seemed confident that he understood. We had a good feeling in this shop right away and we were very comfortable. The artists that did ours were so kind, funny and really relaxed. When we were done, the tats looked AMAZING!! We could not be more thrilled. We loved the experience we had in this shop and we cant wait to go back!!

My husband and I had walk in tattoos done last night and after going through portfolios of the artists there at the time... we decided we liked the work done by Steven and requested him to do our work. It was my husbands second ever tattoo, but my first. Steven was awesome through the whole process, and the tattoos he did for us were amazing. They are currently still healing as they were just done last night... but they are perfect. Spending a few hours there we got to see a little of how the artists and staff were... they all seemed great... My husband and I will be sure to come back to Bulldog for our future tattoos, specifically to see Steven.

Came in the day before Veterans Day and on Veterans Day as I am a veteran and since my son got a great tattoo here 2 years ago. Not sure what happened, but since I wanted a specific artist for my work, I was marginalized and told to come back without even dropping off the artwork twice. 2 visits and then told to come back yet again, I will most definitely find another shop that isnt run by selfish, arrogant passive aggressive whatevers. Sorry Aron, bulldog wont get my business anymore. Yeah, I paid over $500 for my sons Tattoos in 2012 and was ready to spend more. Later.

All the guys were super professional and chill. A lot of confidence of making the things your way and how you want it to be. Comfortable environment besides it was cold as f**k since they hadnt been there in two days for Xmas but Prices arent bad and these guys can get some large tats done in a short amount of time an they look nice !!! Django super cool guy! I dont know who the guy was that did my husband but he did some nice work on my husbands tattoo and we just found our new home away from home to get decorated some more cant wait for next week!!!

What happened to nice tattoo artists? Who chases customers out because they wanted to ask questions? Just left this place after getting a 200 dollar quote they changed it to 300. Was called a dumbass because I asked how long it would take and if they could just do lift color. I left as I was walking out the door I was called a dumbass again. I wouldnt let these people touch me with anything. I asked the guy why he was being mean when Im just asking questions and he also again called me a dumbass. Three dumbasss obviously from a fat musky SOB.

I LOVE THIS TATTOO PARLOR. Having had a terrible experience at spider monkey tattoo (even though it has 5 stars some how) i went here with the rest of my tattoo needs, EVERYONE here is friendly and professional, Travis especially is funny as hell- a very talented tattoo artist and a total sweet heart. Shockingly enough they mostly do walk ins, which from my experience is very very rare! If youre looking for a non threatening friendly clean professional tattoo parlor with awesome artists and great prices- look no further.

My wife and I had our last 3 tattoos done at Bulldog and they look awesome. They keep the place really sterile and they make you feel comfortable right when you walk in. They mostly do walk-ins but we told them that Im a long haul truck driver (not anymore thank God) when we got our last ones done so they were more than happy to schedule us an appt. Shes got 2 more that she wants to have done and this is where shell be getting them.

The guy was really rude and insulting. He asked if I knew how to do anything besides make babies. I am married with 3 children and was going to get my youngest sons name!!.Would not recommend this artist, although I have heard good things about the other artists. The tattoos were very basic and clearly rushed through, not even what we asked for. We were a walk in, if you go here set an appt with someone you know will do a good job..
