GREAT NEWS! King county is allowing personal services like Tattooing to resume business, albeit under lots of new regulations. These are the new requirements for all tattoo appointments moving forward in 2020:
Appointments only - No Walk ins - Door will remain locked during business hours.
Come Alone: To reduce the exposure to our artists and our other clients, please come to your appointment alone, and do not have any visitors stop by.
We have been waiting on bated breath for news of an imminent reopening for businesses like ours for the last month. The new announcement by Governor Inslee is that King County is not ready for Phase 2, but will roll out a modified Phase 1. This will include salons and barbers, which we usually get lumped in with but the stipulation is that appointments are limited to no longer than 30 minutes. It's clear that we will not be included in this. Although some appointments we take would fit in this category no mention of tattoo shops makes us believe it is not our time unfortunately.
A few days ago, Governor Inslee announced that Washington state would be extending the stay-at-home order until at least May 31st. He also outlined a multi-phase plan for reopening businesses if all goes well & as planned at the end of the order.
Yesterday we learned that the Federal Government is urging to extend the COVID-19 guidelines for social distancing until April 30th at the least. We want to remain vigilant in doing our part to prevent the spread of virus, so we will be postponing all appointments (this includes consults and art checks).
As soon as we can return business as usual, we will be contacting everyone that missed their appointment to reschedule. We have records of everyone's deposits and we will be honoring them toward services as well.

We are looking for an experienced, full time tattoo artist to join our fun-loving crew. Minimum 3 years experience, with an established clientele preferred. We are a busy custom shop and are looking for a versatile artist that can handle an overflow of clients with both custom work and simple walk-ins. Must be able to work independently, but also be a team player. An extensive portfolio, great communication and organization skills, and punctuality are all things we look for in an artist.
We have a ton of new goods in the Two Birds boutique! From handmade crystal jewelry by our very own Suzy Todd & Ruby Santiago, to greeting cards, art prints, candles, ornaments, and enamel pins.

New projects moving forward: HOURLY RATE = $200 with a 3 hour minimum
How to get a consult with Suzy:
Due to high volume of requests, she can only take a small selection of projects every 3 months. Because of this, there is a 3 hour minimum for tattoos with Suzy, unless it is a portrait or an up-for-grabs piece she is offering.
