A consult-first studio. Not a walk-in shop.
At The Waverly is a private tattoo studio on Capitol Hill. Two artists, one room, one client at a time. We don't take walk-ins. Every piece starts with a consult — so we can talk through the idea, the placement, the budget, and whether we're the right fit.
We work mostly in blackwork, fineline, and color. Alissa is known for painting reproductions; Melt for clean linework. Sessions run from a quick afternoon to multi-day projects. You leave with aftercare instructions, a follow-up at two weeks, and something you're going to wear forever.
Booking is per artist. Pick the one whose work matches your project — or let us route you at consult.
Owner · Head artist
Five years tattooing in Seattle. Color and micro-detail: florals, gems, pets, and full-color reproductions of paintings. If you've been carrying a reference image for years and want it on skin, this is the room for it.
Resident artist
Fineline and blackwork — clean lines, considered placement, nothing wasted. A steady mix of small custom pieces and larger ongoing projects. Good first tattoo, good cover-up consult.
Eight pieces from the last six months. Default view is monochrome. Hover on desktop — or tap on mobile — to see them in full color.
Five steps. We move at the pace of the project — never the other way around.
