In 1999, Liberty Tattoo opened its doors on ‘’The Ave’ in the University District. It quickly established itself as Seattle’s most reputable ‘traditional’ tattoo street shop. After 15 years, the shop moved to Queen Anne, and 5 years later moved again to the Chinatown International District, and now is located in Belltown at 2702 3rd Ave.
Liberty Tattoo specializes in all styles of tattooing, from classic flash Americana, to fine line black & grey, lettering of all types, as well as large scale Japanese work. The shop is home to 6 resident artists: Trevor Taylor (owner), Vinse 1, Jake Whitson, (who have all worked at Liberty for well over a decade), Rocky Lee, Julio Casagrande and Jimmy Shy. Liberty Tattoo also hosts world-renowned guest artists on a regular basis.
The shop is open 7 days a week from noon until 8pm. Inside you’ll find one of the largest collections of original antique hand-painted tattoo flash & tattoo related memorabilia around. Liberty also produces some of the most popular merch in the tattoo industry, which is for sale at the shop and online.
Liberty Tattoo will celebrate 25 years of business this year. To view more from Liberty Tattoo visit their IG page @liberty_tattoo_seattle.
