    Globe Electric Tattoo

    Globe Electric is home to tattoo artists Susan Behney-Doyle and Eric Doyle. We have been tattooing since 1993 and have worked together since 1998. After working at Jinx Proof Tattoo in Washington, D.C. for 11 years, we opened our own shop in December 2015 with the goal of creating high-quality work in a unique and distinctive setting. We work by appointment in a shop that is closed to the general public. As such, we provide rooms that allow for total privacy. We do not interrupt client appointments to take phone calls or answer questions about another customer’s project. By concentrating our attention only on our individual clients and their projects, we offer them our best product, highest level of service, and hopefully a most pleasant experience. We understand that it can take considerable effort to make time for a tattoo appointment. If you choose to make your appointment with us, we will spend the time focused on you.

    Fatty’s Tattoos & Piercings

    At Fatty's we aim to provide an amazing, personalized customer service experience. We prioritize our clients health and safety which is why we work by appointment only. We also value your time. No more waiting for hours in a packed lobby for a simple body art procedure! We keep our front doors locked limiting the amount of people in the shop adding to your personal security. We also ask that unless you are an adult accompanying your minor child for a piercing we ask that you bring no one else with you to your appointment. When you arrive at the time of your appointment just press the buzzer or knock and your body artist will meet you at the door to let you in. Tattoo appointment requests can be made online at our website under the tattoos menu by selecting the “Tattoo Appointments and Estimates” button. Piercing and jewelry purchases/installation appointment requests can be made online at our website under the Piercings menu by selecting the “Piercing Appointments and Jewelry Installations” button.

Mask mandates are currently in effect at our Maryland and DC locations. If you’re not wearing a mask we will not be able to serve you. Since 1994, Fatty’s has established itself as the best tattoo and piercing shop in the Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia metro area. We are the region’s leader for custom tattooing, body piercing & high quality body jewelry and we have been voted “Best Tattoo Parlor” in the Washington City Paper’s Best of DC Readers Poll. We have 3 convenient locations in Maryland and Washington DC which are accessible via the Red line Metro. We specialize in high quality, custom tattooing.

Our walls proudly display original fine art by Fatty which expresses our desire to create unique body art for every individual.

    Big Wasp Tattoo Device

    Big Wasp Tattoo Device Inc. is a tattoo equipment technology company that specializes in manufacturing and distributing proprietary tattoo needle cartridges and grips. Back in 2005, the founder and owner of the company, who remains his position as our main mechanical engineer, went on a research mission into the processes of tattoo equipment manufacturing. Captivated by the idea of designing highly efficient top-quality product, he believed compatible tattoo needle cartridges to be the future of the industry. While conducting a thorough research into the manufacturing processes and industry trends, he became confident that his vision of delivering innovative product can become a reality. His vision was simple – Working to be the best manufacturers and use only top-quality medical-grade materials for every single item. And he didn't miss a beat! By 2008 the company was shipping internationally from the Shanghai headquarters. Today, we're more focused on innovation than ever before. As we grow our ranks and capabilities, we look to the future of expanding our product collection, designing new equipment, and wholeheartedly supporting our beloved tattoo community!

    Laughing Buddha

    As a teenager growing up in rural Minnesota, my interest in piercings and tattoos started in the hardcore music scene. In 2009, I made my way to Minneapolis and that is where I first was introduced to the APP, quality body jewelry and knowledgeable piercers. Ever since, I became a huge piercing enthusiast. Body piercing and quality jewelry have been some of my biggest interests and this industry is something I started following very closely. In 2015 I moved to Seattle and in 2016 I had the opportunity to start working at Laughing Buddha. I’ve been able to continue my interests and continue learning from my peers and annually taking classes with the APP. Your safety, including strict adherence to cleanliness, the best tools, excellent lighting and clear communication, is our first priority. We care about you enjoying your time here and getting the best result possible. Our industry is growing and changing in exciting and expansive ways. We are leaders in our industry and continually search to invite, collaborate and make the expression of tattooing and body piercing a transformational experience for each person. One that is safe, and where all people know they are welcome.

    Embassy Tattoo

    The Enemy Tattoo was opened on May 1st 2001. The name of the shop was part joke and part joust at an established shop less than a block away. This Tattoo Shop was put together the old fashioned way, After 20 some years of tattooing and working for egomaniacs, and idiots who thought it would be super cool to own a tattoo shop, OR people who didn't even tattoo. I took a job framing houses during the day to get the money and resources to go remodel the place at night until a year later, amongst the blood, sweat, and tears we finally opened to little fanfare. 13 hour days 6 and 7 days a week with little pay will take its toll on the best of us, however, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I think. It's now been 20 years since those humble beginnings. Our state of the art new location (see the map under Directions) sets the standard for the Tattoo Industry. Professional Member of the National Tattoo Association and the Alliance of Professional Tattooists, 8 full time Award winning Artists, separate enclosed Piercing and Sterilization facilities, Professional autoclave testing and monitoring, and top notch customer service have raised the bar for Everett and the surrounding areas. Come see for yourself!!
