Went in for 2 earlobe piercings. The piercer, Nick, was very welcoming and friendly. Nick was meticulous with his cleaning preparation and very organized with the procedure in general. Only good things to say about the experience. Thank you!

Came in to get my earlobes re-pierced after they closed. The piercer Nick Holes was very thorough and helpful in walking me through how my ears may heal differently and made the whole experience a very positive one! Very well priced as well.

The legends are true! I had my ears pierced with Nick (first piercing since my lobes closed 5 years ago) and he was just as kind and professional as everyone says. I don't have the highest pain threshold but even I barely felt anything -- he was super caring and walked me through every step of the process! This was a couple weeks ago and since then my ears have been healing with no issues. Definitely going back for a cartilage piercing once these ones have healed!

I recently visited Dark Harbor for a walk-in nose piercing with Nick. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all my questions and walked me through every step of the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking!

I came here for both my nose and belly button piercing and both experiences were superb! The piercer Nick is very well educated on his work, and is an overall delightful human being ensuring that all clients have the safest and best piercing experience possible! I have multiple friends who recommend him and the Dark Harbor studio in general! This is my ultimate favorite place for body modifications and I look forward to more interactions with them! 😊

Tony was great! He got both my friend and I in as walk-ins for matching ankle tattoos. Tony was very professional, fun, and informative, and the shop is clean, colorful, and has a great gallery. As some out-of-towners, Dark Harbor is definitely a good place to stop at if you’re wanting to add a tattoo while in the Portland area.

As a mature woman with no experience with body art or tattooing, I had reservations about whether or not I should enhance my brows. I am fair skinned with fair hair and my brows were quickly disappearing.
Stephanie guided me through every step and what to expect in the days ahead. When she presented me with a mirror and the final result, I was blown away. She took such great care with the color and shape.
My new brows are a game changer for me and my self esteem! I am thankful I found Stephanie and I would encourage any mature woman with disappearing brows to take the plunge with Stephanie. She is truly amazing.

My friend and I were a walk-in for piercings. It was about a two and a half hour wait, which Nick was very upfront and honest about. $65 for a septum piercing, and $70 for a cartilage with upgraded jewelry.
Getting our piercings was an amazing experience. It was a first for my friend and I, my friend being very nervous about it. Nick was friendly, professional, cleanly, and incredibly nice and patient throughout the entire experience. He walked us through each of the steps and reassured nerves when necessary… Great small talk, and quick experienced work.
If I get another piercing I am more than certain Nick is the only person I want to do it. Cannot recommend him enough!

I went to Dark Harbor for my first tattoo. I am an older woman and was extremely hesitant. I made an appointment with Chris Braley and we met for a consult. He was gentle, kind, and very interested in the story behind my memorial tattoo concept. On that day of my tattoo, he was professional, super attentive, and the tattoo that he designed for me was beautiful. He has a gentle touch and knows how to create multi-dimensional details. Dark Harbor is clean, everyone who works there is very chill and it was an excellent experience. Thank you Chris.

Nick Holes was so awesome! Had my septum pierced by him 4 months ago (first non-ear piercing) so I was kinda nervous. Nick was super professional and kind and put me right at ease. He knew exactly what he was doing and explained the process to me every step of the way. It was a super clean environment with single use equipment. I would 100% go there again. Nick gave me his contact info in case I had any issues after the appointment but I never had any at all despite having really sensitive skin. I’m so glad I went there. Thanks Nick!
