“Walking into either of Slave to the Needleโs two Seattle shops will put anyone looking for some new ink at ease. The space is as artful as its many artists, who are led by Aaron Bell, an old Orange County punk who found his way to Seattle, where he opened the Ballard location in 1995. (A Wallingford locale was added in 2005.) The shop will do whatever you like, but specializes in large-scale custom work, 20 pieces of which will be on display at Axis Gallery in Pioneer Square this month to celebrate Slaveโs 20th anniversary (the opening reception is Thurs., Aug. 6, 5โ9 p.m.). 403 N.E. 45th St., 545-3685; 508 N.W. 65th St., 789-2618,” โSeattle Weekly
