Collaboration means more than mere marketing for Artful Dodger Tattoo and Comics. Thanks to its partnerships with Evolve Piercing and Sideshow Salon, Artful Dodger brings a sense of inky art to the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The shop offers a diverse mix of comic books, collectibles and visual artwork for sale, all of which is representative of the shop’s interior, which features racks of comics attached to the walls and six tattoo chairs for their five artists to do their work. It may seem a far cry from tribal bands and pin-up girls that line most tattoo spots, but Artful Dodger focuses on the artistic, creative elements of body inking that will last a lifetime.
