Ago tattoo and piercing

I recently went in to get a second lobe piercing, and my experience was really, really good. I had to go in later in the day after work and even though it was late, nothing was rushed and they took their time with me, making sure I was comfortable and happy with the jewelry I had chosen. I was really nervous because I'm lousy with pain and needles etc. and my piercer was so, so good about it-- he chatted with me to calm me down and explained each part of the process well so that I didn't have to worry. He answered all of my questions and gave me proper, sensible aftercare advice without spiking my anxiety with dire warnings- a tough balance to strike. You know a place is great when you come in a nervous wreck and leave plotting your next piercing already. I'm local to the area but I could easily imagine traveling from out of town to come here.

The shop owner is also the piercer. He is very clean, and takes his time with the piercing. My girls (teenagers) had a great experience with him. Their piercings are healing beautifully. And they except walk ins! We live in Portland Metro but have decided we will travel to Newport whenever we want to get pierced. He’s that good.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I brought my daughter here for her first ear piercing. Nathan and the team were beyond wonderful and made it an absolutely fabulous experience for her, from start to finish. Very clean facility and equipment. We felt safe and in very capable hands. (She didn't even flinch, btw.)

I’ve never gotten a tattoo from Miles, but I have gotten 4 piercings done by Nathan. He is so gentle when handling his instruments, clients, etc. Nathan is so kind to anybody and everybody who comes into his shop. He has been the only one I trust to do any one of my piercings.

To the person reading this, I 100% recommend Nathan to you! You will not be disappointed!

In November of 2019 I had my septum pierced by Nathan, and it was a great experience all around. I was very comfortable and it was quick and painless. I came in sunday afternoon and got a vertical labret done by Alex, this piercing is directly in the center of your face and it was at utmost importance to me that it was perfectly placed. In my head I imagined I would probably be a pain about the layout, and make the artist do it a few times because I had a placement picked out in my head, but no, she did it absolutely perfectly her first try. Now this next part I add for anyone who has mental health issues or anxiety. I developed a panic disorder since 2019 when i got my septum done, I get lightheaded and nauseous easily because of it, and its common to get lightheaded and nauseous anyway after or during an adrenaline rush. Alex, and the woman working with her who I think i went to school with, were the absolute best. I started to get really lightheaded and expressed that. they had gotten me water before I could ask, and it was a blessing. Alex had a puke bag on hand for me, they both reassured me, were extremely patient with me, and when I had thrown up, they reassured me even more and made me feel so comfortable.. I love both of my piercings, so much, and had lovely experiences getting them done. I think Ive found who I want to do the rest of my piercings for me.

Visiting the coast for the weekend and randomly wanted a piercing.This place was great. Very clean and professional. Beautiful jewelry and Alex was amazing, and made me feel very welcome and comfortable there. Highly recommend this place!! My husband and I both got piercings and we love them!!!!

Miles is my guy. Complete pride in his work. The mermaid he did of my daughter as a cover up is exceptional.

My boyfriend and I came to Newport for a spontaneous last minute trip. We decided we wanted to get some new ink. Searching for a tattoo place Crazy 8’s was the first option we saw. Without reading the reviews we called to see if there was any openings. Alex answered the phone and she gave me the information, although we did not have an appointment. She then told us to come down and they would see what they can do. Walking in, we were immediately welcomed by Nathan with a bright welcoming smile. We had no idea what we wanted or where we wanted the placement. Nathan and Miles helped us out, they were patient and kind. Eventually I gave up and asked Miles If he could freehand a tattoo incorporating the designs I liked. He sketched a beautiful piece and put his own flare on what my boyfriend wanted. He worked with us on our price range and we both walked out with amazing tattoos. We are from Washington will probably never be back in Oregon but definitely would recommend this place to ANYONE looking for new tattoos or a new piercing, clean friendly shop with amazing people and artist.

These people are amazing! I will always go to them! I got 2 tattoos and a piercing. The shop is beautiful and clean! Beautiful jewelry and excellent customer service!! Friendly!!! It's been many years since I have gotten a piercing and I was really nervous but it was awesome!! I love it and my tattoos! Thanks guys!! I'll be back!!

My aunt and I both came from out of town on vacation to each get a tattoo and piercing. We picked this place because of the reviews and they did not disappoint! Miles was very accommodating and gave us exactly what we were looking for in our tattoos. Nathan made the piercing experience wonderful and is super knowledgeable and helpful! We can’t wait to come back next time we are in town. They are absolutely the best!
