Vyvyn's Tattoo, a.k.a. Madame Lazonga's, is simply wonderful. The atmosphere is surprisingly warm, relaxed and welcoming for a place where you can really get some serious ink, and the artists are friendly, fun, and wildly talented. I got a fairly large tattoo, maybe 15x7 inches, over the top of a smaller one about 13 years old. It was designed and beautifully executed by Suzy Todd, who's the apprentice there right now. I have to think, only at Vyvyn Lazonga's would the 'apprentice' produce some of the very best body art you'll see anywhere! The design is gorgeous, original and beautifully balanced, it suits my body shape well, the lush colors are shaded in lovely detail and delicacy, and the cover of the old design is impeccable. I can't imagine going anywhere else!
Pros: Fantastic, beautiful work, friendly people, relaxing atmosphere
Cons: they don't have their own parking, but that's par for the course in Seattle
