Looking for a new spot to get tattoos? A new business is here to help. The fresh arrival to Pioneer Square, called Parlour, is located at 321 Third Ave. South, Suite 202.

Parlour is the brainchild of experienced tattoo artist Sara Karpinski, a.k.a. Sara Kay. "Super articulated line-work, fully realized juxtaposition within a design, and rich, saturated color is what I strive for, no matter the medium," she writes on her website. "Dynamic, illustrative images and beautiful, sweeping gestural structure."

Karpinski charges $200 per hour at her studio, consulting with clients to create a design and determine the optimal size, placement and color. An FAQ page on her site offers more insight into her process, and past work can be viewed on her Instagram account. 

It's still early days for the fledgling tattoo studio—it's got just one review on Yelp thus far.

Scott B., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on June 23, wrote, "Sara has the rare ability in the tattoo business to truly listen and collaborate with her clients and turn your initial idea(s) into a fully-developed piece. Sara took me on as a client two years ago, for a full-sleeve cover-up that I didn't believe any artist would agree to take on, let alone put the time and effort Sara did to make it the amazing piece that it is today."

Head on over to check it out: Parlour is open from 11 a.m.–7 p.m. on weekdays. (It's closed on weekends.)
