Arrow and Sword Tattoo

This is the best tattoo shop Ive ever been to, hands down. Plata has done nothing but stellar work on me, hes professional, knowledgeable and incredibly talented. The shop has a friendly and laid back vibe, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get some work done.

The atmosphere is fantastic, the shop was clean, and Daniel did a great job. He worked with me despite my inconsistent work schedule and did a fantastic tattoo with bright colors and bold lines. Genuinely great time definitely recommend

10/10 ! Such an amazing environment, with even better people. I have gotten two beautiful tattoos from Ruby, and highly recommend her as an artist. I’m so happy with how they turned out, her line work is insane !

Phenomenal experience. He opened early to accommodate my busy schedule, super creative, he just gets people and helped bring my vision to life. 10/10 coming back for my next tat. Insta: @plata3rl

Started my first tattoo with Daniel. Hes an amazing artist. He was able to take the conception Ive had been wanting for 10 years and make an amazing piece of art. Cant wait to continue the process and see how its going to look when done.

I got a tat from ruby kopet and it was a 10/10 experience, she puts so much hard work and care into all of her pieces and when building a connection with her clients, i had such a good time i told my family about it and now my mom has several tattoos from ruby, my stepdad has one, my older brother and my twin all have a tat from ruby. all of us are wanting to comeback. RUBY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLEASE HIT HER UP- her insta is @rubyparkertattoos if you want to see some of her work!! :)

Daniel our tattoo artist was super nice, fun and very profesional. He took very good care of us, listened and helped us with our first tattoos. The place is clean and the team super nice. My son and I love our tattoos .I would highly recommend it !

Chris is AMAZING!!! He has tattooed me twice, and I am very thankful for his attention to detail and skill. I love both of my tattoos so much, and I cant wait for a third. The tattoo shop decor is very cool. They have street parking and paid parking nearby.

Got tatted by Ruby and it was a 10/10 experience. Ruby is so sweet and super talented. Definitely coming back!! Book with her you will NOT regret it!!!

Fantastic artists within a very well run business. Daniel did fantastic work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel, or any of the artists at Arrow and Sword to anyone.

Ruby was kind, Professional and took her time. She makes every experience with her fun and well worth your time. She is a perfectionist that wants to get it right.

I came in to get a pretty simple cover up, they were done at home with pencil lead and shampoo years ago and had faded (the picture of them that Ive attached to this post were right after they were done). All together for the 3 small feathers I was charged $460. And ALL THREE were sloppy. I REALLY feel ripped off to be honest. While getting the single feather tattoo done which mind you I got the two feathers one the one hand done on a different day but by the same tattoo artist.... But while getting the single feather tattoo done another client of the artist that was tattooing me showed up and her appointment was next and so he started RUSHING to get it finished which led to him going way too deep in places and you can see the scaring already. When I showed up to get the second hand done I showed him what I wanted to have done and told him I was willing to pay extra (on top of the $460 I had already OVERpaid) but he wasnt willing to even try doing anything I had shown him, he wanted to just do another feather. So I asking if I could give him a little extra cash to be able to reschedule and give myself time to figure out something that I would not only want tattooed on me for life but also would be something he would be willing to do 🙄. But he said no, which meant I would lose my money if I didnt get the tattoo then and there so I said fine to the feather. Only for it to turn out like this....

Was given a same day appointment for a tattoo i’ve been wanting for a while. atmosphere is legendary, they’ve got little things throughout the place that will blow your mind. easily the coolest shop i’ve ever been in. gal at the front was kind & made getting a slot easy. the artist was personable, efficient, and priced what i asked for very reasonably. absolutely 0 complaints. i will come here in the future if i ever need work done or even something as simple as a touch up. if you’re in the seattle/bellevue area looking for any kind of ink, this is the place you want. 10/10 experience.

Had a lovely first experience at this shop with Plata. He fit me in as a walk in which I appreciated and did great and fast work. I will return for more work for sure

Great shop, great work, great peopleDaniel Skillingstead was the artist that tattooed me and he is incredible, very talented. He did a half sleeve on me and he will be doing the other half and my other arm. I get so many compliments, I absolutely love the tattoo. I have spent several hours in the shop on several occasions. Every artist in there puts out amazing work, I noticed every customer left extremely happy. Very professional, super clean, very kind and fun to be around. I plan on getting a full shirt and I wont go anywhere else.

Great experience getting my first tattoo. Plata delivered exactly what I asked for and in a quick and professional manner, highly recommended!

I got my first tattoo here, just got out if my second. Daniel is the artist that did it both times and he gets it done fast and neat. He probably realized i have a terrible pain tolerance and tried to get me through it fast as possible😅 The whole staff is friendly and will always contribute to conversation, theyre helpful and great with advice for newly tattooed persons as well, couldnt choose anyone better💪🏼

The place looks dope - its not huge but very clean and has everything you need. Daniel is an amazing master! Not only he has 10yrs of experience but he really understands the needs and suggests based on whats possible and how to ensure the tattoo looks awesome years ahead. (for example my pink panther was enlarged and adjusted a bit). I really appreciate his art and professionalism. Got my first tattoo with him and cant wait for my next one!

Had my first tattoo today with Daniel. He was professional and really captured exactly what my sister, mom and I wanted in our tattoos. We all had a laugh and it was a really enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend Daniel!

Daniel is awesome!! He scheduled my appointment during my vacation out here and left me with an amazing piece of art on my arm forever! 🤘🤘

Plata was amazing! Super friendly and professional. If you need help and guidance on tattoo layout design etc, he is awesome and gave such amazing advice! I was so nervous to find a genuine tattoo artist in WA and he is going to be my go to for sure! Also if you want to add your fur babies onto your body, he is seriously the best to do so!Highly recommend!!!

Excellent artistry, service, and aftercare advice. Will do again. Ruby and her aftercare kit were fantastic.

Showed up for a walk-in and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend working with Plata. Super cool and funny guy and the tattoo turned out wonderful.

Got my first tattoo on Saturday. Everyone was very friendly and it was a great experience. Plata was my tattoo artist. He did a wonderful job. I love my tattoo! I will definitely be coming here again for my next one! I highly recommend this place!

Amazing first tattoo experience with Ruby, everything from design to atmosphere was perfect!

I have gotten a couple tattoos done by Chris and I have gotten billions of compliments on how clean the line work is and how well done they are! Hes also just a genuinely kind, trustworthy, solid dude.Taking a break from the joys of getting stuck by needles hundreds of times in a row but as soon as I stop being a wuss Chris will absolutely be the first person I hit up for my next tattoo! Hes simply the best.

Plata made time for me during a short visit to the west coast, did a really solid job on the fine line work, and was just fun to sit for. A real pro, looking forward to returning to him next time I’m in town.

Chris G is an incredible artist, loves what he does-and a master of his craft. I probably have at least 100+ hours under his hand & this is who you want creating custom forever art on you in a safe, clean environment. The vision and ability to technically execute are amazing. Great at anything he puts his mind to and that’s just what he does in his shop, showing up for his clients everyday. Go. 🏆

Chris has been a great partner working on a geometric/water blackwork sleeve over the past year. From vision to artistic implementation, Chris is a talented pro who knows the ins and outs of tattoo design. I have difficult skin to tattoo and Chris has been incredibly helpful working with me on the right process and healing. I get compliments all the time on his work and love reflecting on the detail. I look forward to continue to work together again in the future.

I walked in off the street hoping to find out when I could get my first tattoo done, and Chris had had a no show. He agreed to see my piece, and if he had time that day, he would do it right then. I gave him the demo, and we got right down to work on design and colors. I fully expected to be coming back months later to get the tattoo done, but instead left 2 hours later with a tattoo that reminds me Im still alive. Very happy with this trip and will be back

Great experience for my first tattoo with Plata! I provided a design with a simple addition; he drew it quickly and the transfer was perfect. Clean lines and it’s healing beautifully. The shop is clean and comfortable. I appreciated the last minute appointment via email! Cash only, so be prepared, but if you forget there is an ATM. Plata was right — I’ll be back next week. #instantaddict

Chris is an phenomenal artist!!! From skills ranging Traditional to Neo and to Japanese art. If you need something done, hes your guy for sure!!! Definitely the best tattoo shop on the East-side and starting to be the best Artist in Washington for me!

This review is super late! I forgot about writing a review! Sorry plata! But anyways I got a cactus tattoo here last month and I love it! He was super chill and accommodating; he wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The work is beautiful and he has talent for sure. So thank you so much plata!

The quality of work here is amazing and everyone in the shop had a very kind and welcoming vibe, I came in to get a painting that my older sister made tattooed on me and Chris did an amazing job making it look perfect, just like my sisters painting. This tattoo has a lot of personal meaning to me and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have a great artist put it on my skin.

Super cool spot, awesome vibes. Chris is as talented as they come. Not only does he do amazing work, he’s fast and professional. His work speaks for itself but let me just say, the pictures do NOT do it justice. If you want great work done by a true artist and skilled craftsman, come to Arrow & Sword to get work you’ll be proud to show off for the rest of your life.

Beautiful and clean space. Plenty of room and lots of neat art to look at. Chris was fantastic at my tattoo application. He offered focus and great conversation and has beautiful colors to offer. I look forward to my next session here!

A couple weeks ago I went looking for a new tattoo shop to get a fine line name tattoo of my son I lost. I was very nervous that the needle or ink would be too thick for the style of tattoo I wanting. I walked in on a Sunday and they were busy. I made an appt for a couple hours later and went to one of the bunker outs restaurants within walking distance to kill time. Plata was my tattoo artist and he did a phenomenal job, not only did he get it the perfect size but the placement and thinness I wanted was literal perfection. He was super professional and the quality of his work is Exceptional. I’ll be making another appt soon to get more work done! Thank you Plata!

Plata was an amazing artist to work with! He created exactly what I was hoping for and I couldn’t be happier — very highly recommend. Cool shop and location. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Plata is a fantastic artist! His skill is phenomenal and he is very flexible and kind. We were walk ins and he treated us so well. He’s also hilarious.

Chris Greenewald is a genius with the tattoo needle. Ive had him do over 40 hours of work on me and every second is the best!His style is amazing and his shop shows it!

One of the best tattoo shops available! I was lucky enough to know chris personally and have him tattoo me at super genius in seattle and now his own location!Amazing work! No one comes close!Dont waste your money regretting something later. Get it done right the first time!

Awesome place to get tattooed. Chris is an absolutely amazing and talented tattoo artist. His assistant Talia is great as well. Very professional and courteous. A+

Just got finished with a little piece by Chris, what a nice guy. He is friendly, communicative, and open to ideas. I wanted something that wasnt really his style, and he was still open to it. The guys in the shop are funny as hell together. I will definitely be back soon!

I had Daniel and he was a skilled professional. Place is very cool and all the artists are extremely talented. Great pricing too. Will be back for sure 😁

Such a wonderful place to work and such creative talented people to work around. Not to be bias, but I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo after seeing first hand the work these artists do here and the clean, safe, fun environment they have curated.

This is my second time coming to see plata and both time I leave way happier then I came it great line work and shading.

Plata, daniel and chris were all amazing. made the experience easy and enjoyable and plata and daniel did the most amazing work. so excited to come back for more in the near future!!

Amazing! So happy with my tattoo and the awesome artist.

Chris did my first tattoo! It’s still amazing almost 4 years later, he pays attention to detail and does an great job 👏🏻 💯 10/10 recommend this shop!!

I loved getting a tattoo at Arrow and Sword definitely recommend to anyone that’s trying to get one, the environment there is very cool, the artists are so down to earth and nice its for sure a great spot and location!

I am fortunate to have some amazing work done by Chris. Hands down one of my favorite peices I have. I am looking forward to having Chris start in on my next large piece.
