About TygerWolf Tattoo
Our Story
TygerWolf Tattoo was born in 2013 as a private studio in the Freelard neighborhood of Seattle - founded by Christen Wolfe as a small, intentional space built around custom work, artistic integrity, and genuine care for clients. What started quietly grew steadily, and by October 2015 the studio expanded to a second location beneath Fremont Coffee. Two years later, a third move brought TygerWolf to the corner of 36th and Phinney, where the community deepened further.
In October 2019, Christen brought TygerWolf to Tacoma, opening on 6th Avenue and planting the studio's roots in a new city. When Jordi B took ownership, she made a defining move - relocating TygerWolf to its current home inside the Union Club Building in downtown Tacoma, a historic landmark that matched the studio's ambition and spirit. The space became everything the studio had been growing toward: grand, welcoming, and impossible to miss.
Today, TygerWolf is a team of artists working across every major tattoo style - from fine line and botanical to bold blackwork, color, traditional, and illustrative work. Every project is custom. Every client is met with the same care the studio was built on from day one.
But TygerWolf has always been more than a tattoo studio. We're an active part of the Tacoma community - showing up at local expos, street fairs, and cultural events throughout the year. We collaborate with high schools to give aspiring artists real apprenticeship credit, opening a door into the industry for the next generation of talent. And our creative reach goes well beyond the needle - we've partnered with stand-up comedy shows and burlesque performances, because art doesn't stop at the walls of the studio.
Led by Jordi B - a certified couples counselor and the woman behind TygerWolf's vision, whose approach to tattooing is rooted in dialogue, trust, and human connection TygerWolf has always stood for something: a safe space where everyone is welcome exactly as they are, where the work on your skin reflects something true about who you are, and where creativity in all its forms is celebrated.
We also welcome guest artists from around the world throughout the year. Follow us on Instagram at @tygerwolftattoo for updates on visiting artists, flash events, and everything happening at the studio.

“I absolutely loved my a experience with Meg! She was amazing to work with and during the tattoo it felt like we were just two friends hanging out. She worked with me to create a design I loved and her line work and shading was perfect. Planning on getting many more tattoos with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Best tattoo of my life. Reilly made the experience so painless and relaxing! Had so much fun talking that I didn’t even feel the needle half of the time. 20/10 will come again ♥️”
