A brief history

ABOUT TSUNAMI

Tattooing Tacoma Since 2000

Tsunami Tattoo was established in Tacoma in 2000 with a simple goal: create exceptional tattoos in an environment where creativity, craftsmanship, and the individual client come first.

For more than 25 years, we have been part of Tacoma’s tattoo community, creating custom work for clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Today, Tsunami Tattoo is located in the heart of Tacoma’s historic Hilltop neighborhood. Our studio brings together experienced independent artists with different styles, backgrounds, and approaches to tattooing—giving our clients the opportunity to find the right artist for their project.

We believe getting tattooed should be a collaborative and personal experience. Whether you’re planning a large custom piece, continuing an existing collection, covering an old tattoo, or getting something small and meaningful, our goal is to create work that fits both you and your vision.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF TATTOO STUDIO

Tsunami operates primarily by appointment, allowing our artists to give their clients the time and attention their projects deserve.

We take pride in maintaining a professional, welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment where people can feel comfortable being themselves.

Our artists handle their own bookings, consultations, artwork, scheduling, and deposits directly. Visit our Artists page to view portfolios and find the artist whose work best fits your project.

Same-day and next-day appointments may also be available.
