Atlas Tattoo Studio

The Atlas artists are all extremely talented. Dan is a master of his craft and a class-act to boot, look no further.

Incredibly talented and friendly staff. Dan did my work and Jerry did my husband’s - we were both very satisfied with the results. They are both kind, positive and motivating. Highly recommend and hope we get a chance to go back.

Lewis and co. were great! Came in on a walk-in, he explained everything to my friend (first tattoo) and made the process great for her! Everyone in the shop was welcoming, great atmosphere - would definitely recommend trying to dip in at a slow time to get something phenomenal 👍

Got there at 11:10 on a Sunday and was 4th in line for walk ins. Waited until 2 to get inked but well worth the wait. I got tattooed by Mav Mess, who is highly respected and has been doing this for years. He was kind, considerate, gentle, and offered a few minor stylistic changes that made huge differences in the look of my piece. If you are in town and looking for quick walk ins, this is not the place. But if you're in town looking for good walk ins by renowned artists, go here...but arrive early.

Atlas is great. My fiance and I both have walked into many shops in Portland and have found Atlas to be the cleanest and most welcoming (along with great art) in the city. We both have been tattooed here and plan to come back for more!

I went into Atlas Tattoo last week and had a great time. I was visiting from out of town and can’t wait to come back for more work. As always it’s a busy shop, but it's worth the wait.
Too many new shops have sprung up in Portland since my last visit and have no identity. All these new shops feel like Starbucks. Atlas Tattoo in Portland has an old school tattoo approach. The music selection in the shop will keep you on your toes, they only deal in CASH, Walk-ins on Sunday (1st come/1st served). The laughter and conversation can sometimes get loud and colorful. If you are looking for the best tattooist in PDX, go to ATLAS. The artist here are able to do original work without hesitation and never disappointed me.The shop is clean, the style is traditional and the service was exceptional.

One of the best tattoo shops I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them!

Extremely impressed with the level of professional as well as the friendly touch. Top notch customer service. Amazing artists. You can't go wrong getting a tattoo here. Even if the prices might seem higher, the artists are extremely efficient and get your tattoo done in far less time making it a great value without compromising quality. Stop searching. Go here now.

Atlas is home for me when it comes to tattoos. I've been lucky enough to have five tattoos done by Lew Hess, and I adore every one of them. Each one becomes my new favorite. As a bonus, I get constant compliments on them all. People have even asked to take photos of my tattoos.

When I schedule a new piece with Lew, I bring him an idea and he turns it into something that works on skin. I'm always totally in love with what he comes up with; he just manages every time to create exactly the perfect thing.

I have no idea how anyone could walk out of Atlas less than thrilled, but I, for one, am a lifer.

Went here last year on my birthday to get matching tattoos with my sister. She had previously looked at Corey's art work and thought he was a good artist.. probably only posted the good tattoos he ever did. The mandalas we got are completely unsymmetrical. Some sections are undone and look so bad. He was rushed the entire time trying to get out of there. He had told me he would set another appointment for my shading and just went ahead and did it then both tattoos were rushed and not alike... For my first tattoo I thought it was normal now seeing all my other friends tattoos I could cry looking at mine. Want to get it removed or covered up. Over all I can't speak about the other artists here but was really disappointed by my tattoo and my sisters.
