Tattoo Shop in Everett, WA
Welcome to Tattoo Garden, a private tattoo studio in the Lowell district of Everett, Washington.
Our Approach
Tattoo Garden opened in 2008 with a simple goal: to create a place where people feel comfortable, can relax, and know they’re working with someone they can trust. This studio exists to slow things down, remove distractions, and focus on clear communication and thoughtful tattoo work.
If your goal is to be entertained, a busy walk-in shop might be a better fit.
If your goal is to be heard and guided toward a tattoo that truly feels right to you, this space was built for that.
A Private Tattoo Studio Built Around Bringing Your Next Tattoo To Life
Tattoo Garden is private and appointment-only by design. After years of working in louder, busier environments, it became clear to me that too many people and too many opinions make it harder for clients to feel understood.
Working one-on-one allows time to listen, ask questions, and talk things through without pressure. The tattoo itself matters, but so does the process of getting there.
Tattooing & Artwork by Michael T. Gardner
All tattooing and artwork at the studio is done by me, Michael T. Gardner.
I don’t approach tattoos with a personal agenda. My priority is your satisfaction and helping you arrive at a tattoo you’re genuinely happy with. I ask a lot of questions because experience has taught me that if you don’t ask, you don’t really know what someone wants — and assumptions are where things go wrong.
Clear, honest communication is the foundation of good tattooing.
A Calm, Clean Studio — On Purpose
The studio is clean, quiet, and intentionally simple. That isn’t branding — it’s practical.
A calm space makes it easier to talk openly, focus on details, and feel relaxed during the process. Many people arrive nervous. My goal is for that feeling to fade quickly once the conversation begins.
Who I Work Best With
I work best with people who either have a clear idea of what they want or are open to exploring how to arrive at a design. Communication and mutual respect matter far more than certainty.
When there’s trust and openness on both sides, the work speaks for itself.
