Southbay Tattoo Company

I’m not sure why anyone would give SB Mike a bad review. I live in Seattle and went on Motorheads Motorboat cruise last month. I heard Mike was going to be on it doing his work, and I knew I had to seize the chance. I made an appointment on his website and he messaged me on Facebook and we talked and agreed on a price. I was taken back by the price, but like he said «Do I want a quality tattoo» or a cheap one. I always have wanted a Iron Maiden «Eddie» tattoo and three weeks after the release of the new Maiden album «Book of Souls» was released, I had Tribal Eddie inked on my right arm. It came out AMAZING!!! Man he has mad skills. Very talented and serious about his work. Worth every penny. Mike is a cool dude. If you want a detailed and perfect/​flawless tattoo, then visit Southbay Mike !!!

Went back to see Mike for another meaningful tattoo. This time I got morning glories (sentimental value). Mike has done 4 pieces for me and out of go all the tattoos I have, the tattoos I’ve gotten done by Mike get the most compliments. He is awesome and I highly recommend him. If you want a tattoo that is custom made for you, go see Mike.

I won’t let anyone else touch my skin with ink other than south bay mike. I love his, work. He did my first tattoo and it came it wonderful. (look at the pictures it’s the cherry blossoms.) He’s a super cool guy. Finished my tattoo in less than an hour and it hardly hurt. He has a light hand. He is a little pricey but you won’t be disappointed. You get what you pay for.
Pretty sure the shop isn’t called celebrity tattoo anymore.

I saw many tattoos done by «South Bay Mike». Some are brilliant masterpieces. And some are horribly done, including the one he did on my chest! UGGHHHG!!! At least I can hide it. It wasn’t until after I got the tattoo that i heard that South Bay Mike «has good days and bad days.» Obviously I went on one of his bad days. Now I’m saving for laser removal. Just the fact that he can have a bad day, and ruin someones skin, is enough for anyone not to get a tattoo done by SB Mike.

I have 2 tattoos by south bay Mike. The reason for the 3 star rating is mainly because of the price.
The work i got done came out really good some of the best i have. But man it cost me an arm and a leg to pay for it. If your pockets go deep
by all means go ahead and spend the cash, and you will spend it here. The good thing is that you wont be let down by the work done by Mike.
My first tattoo here was a heart for my mom, it’s actually the favorite tattoo i have and the pricing back then as my second tattoo ever seemed reasonable.
The second one was a tribute tattoo for a friend that got shot in Iraq. Now on this tattoo is were i drew the line. It was way over priced in my opinion…
Having gone to a couple other shops and tattoo artist it seems like i did the right choice. The work is great but the price is really steep. I have gotten just as good work in other places for less of a price. Look around do your homework if you click well with the tattoo artist there should be not problem agreeing with a reasonable price.

I haven’t been tattooed by South Bay Mike but my husband has. I think he got 2 pieces by him and believe me hes amazing! His mind is just so creative. We told him an idea of what my hubby wanted and he took about an hour to do some research and came back with an amazing drawing. Totally worth the cash.
