Great Service Talented Artist Clean Shop Friendly Staff

I could not have been more pleased with my service today! I had my first tattoo done on my right foot. It's not huge, and not full of extreme detail-- nor was that my intent. I went in this afternoon with a vision for my first tattoo and they nailed it! Kelly was fantastic!!! The shop was clean and the staff were super friendly. I now understand why people say they get addicted. All my future work will be done with pins and needles!!! Thank you for a great experience !!!

Great Work Fun Atmosphere Good People Highly Recommended

I've been coming here for over a year now for tattoos and piercings. I live in Connecticut and I don't mine the 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive to come get work done. It's always a great time and great work. It's a fun atmosphere and good people having a good time no ones stuck up at all like you get in most shops. Mike, Billy and Kelly kill the tattoos. Caleb and Alex r the best piercers I've seen. High recommend coming here.

Bad Tattoos Poor Quality No Refund

My friends decided to get tattoo there a couple days ago and I have truly never seen uglier tattoos in my life!! They are so crooked and the letters mash together horribly!! It looks like the artist was straight up intoxicated. They have tried to get in touch with the company but have had no luck. It’s ridiculous they aren’t even getting a refund or someone to fix their tattoos 😑😑😑.

A friend and I both came to this place for our first tattoos today, and they did a phenomenal job with the tattoos! They were professional and quick! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo!

The price was all right. Got my lip pierced the piercer didn't know the difference between snake bites and spider bites. Had to go to another body shop to get the balls put back on because both feel off with in 2 hours to find out he used the wrong size bar.

My artist was Kelly, she was really cool she made my first tattoo experience wonderful she was super gentle and made it hurt very little considering it was on my wrist. The art is beautiful the heart is literally perfect. I would go here again just to have Kelly tat me.

My mom's artist was John, he was a little rough but the lines for the tattoo are very clean. The only thing is the matching heart is crooked and the red is a different color.

Over all the experience was wonderful the place was very clean and spacious. The parking lot is rather small and tight but it has free parking! Which in Portland, is a plus!

The photo below is our tattoos. Mine is on the right my mom's is the left.

Mike is amazing, as always! Caleb did my peircings today even though he wasn't feeling so great AND it was his day off. Super professional, personable, puts clients right at ease. Been a customer since 2006 & I will never go anywhere else! Thanks again guys for the excellent service & the new holes!
