I went in for a Conch piercing by Nick a few weeks ago and have nothing but good things to say. He was incredibly thorough with explaining everything and very professional. The placement of the piercing was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be going back!

Totally awesome!!! Met with Tori on Tuesday and went back on Wednesday to discuss tattoos for my wife and I. Tori, sweetest ever, was super helpful with our choice of tats and the price! Very highly recommend for all interested in getting a tattoo. 5 stars PLUS for these people and their business!!!

Got my first two tattoos here and everyone in the shop was very kind. i was a little bit nervous (of course) and the crew was very comforting. Big Mike did both of my tattoos and i’d recommend him to anyone. Clean facilities and happy friendly folks!

Nick did an excellent job ensuring my piercings were placed correctly and did a great job going over aftercare. He answered all of my questions and was extremely professional. Would highly recommend Dark Harbor for piercings!

I went to Dark Harbor while on vacation to get my first tattoo ever. Mike was wonderful! Super friendly, timely, and thorough in answering all of my questions. I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in Portland!

I went in for a Daith piercing after a recommendation from a friend who'd had one. Nick was informative and careful, the studio was clean, and Nick's technique satisfied this nurse. I was also pleased that, while I expected it to hurt, the pain was momentary, and I haven't felt it since, once the jewelry was installed. Good job!

Just brought my daughter to get her nose pierced. Nick Holes did the piercing and was fantastic. Clean, profesional, (I'm a nurse) kind, knowledgeable and great with advice without sounding preachy. Great experience overall!

I had made an appointment for June 13 back in March. Initially it was for the 12th but artist forgot she was booked and thankfully told me and switched to 13. I've been calling and messaging for some time trying to get an APPROXIMATE (I know cost can change) cost for work so I wasn't walking in blind. I have a friend that knows owner and she had reached out today cause nobody was calling me back and when you call and nobody answers, their voice-mail says don't leave messages, we don't answer. My friend reached out out of the goodness of her heart and because she previously knew the owner. In that time frame my artist called and I explained some issues. I didn't cancel. I was still going. I was bringing extra (sister tattoos booked so 2). I just needed to have a rough idea and if credit cards were accepted due to fraud on my account. Apparently after I got off the phone, my issues were broadcast and I became a joke in your shop because the owner decided it was funny to laugh at my friend for what was going on in my life. Again. I hadn't cancelled. Was still going to pay for both and tip. I promptly called and cancelled since clearly my life is a joke to you. Im out the $100 deposit as well, but clearly you need it more than I do. If some thing like fraud on my bank account is funny to you I can only imagine how you talk about other clients. I have very few I trust to do art on my body, but that number just shrank today. I'm sorry for whatever you have going on that my life became a joke in your shop today. I wish you well.

Nick was absolutely fantastic! He talks you through the entire process, makes sure you're comfortable and getting exactly what you want. 10/10 would recommend Nick for all your piercings.

Kate Altman

Nick is top notch! He was informative, patient, calm and just generally wonderful with my teenage daughter. He talked her through every single step from prep cleaning to aftercare. I can not recommend him highly enough.
