Parker is an incredible tattoo artist, and everyday I’m stopped by someone in public who wants to just stop and look at the amazing artwork that she put on my body. 10/10 would recommend. She’s such a good artist that her and I already have plenty of other designs in the work. With all tattoo artist though you have to play there strong suits. And parker is incredible at the work she does. And is upfront if she feels a certain design or idea wouldn’t work well with her style.

Parker is amazing! I flew out to Portland to get a snake/floral hip piece done, and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. The studio was beautifully decorated with her art. Parker was very accommodating when I requested a slight change in my tattoo placement. 100000000/10 would recommend and will definitely be going back!

I’ve been going to Midnight for the past 2 years and they are so wonderful. The environment here is uplifting and empowering. They truly care about their clients and have always made me feel so welcomed into their space, which is a rare occurrence around other tattoo shops I’ve been to. I have gotten several pieces from Maria here and receive many compliments. If you are looking for a comfy, and even first, tattoo experience, I HIGHLY recommend Midnight!

I got the pleasure of being tattooed by Parker in 2018 (I hope to get more in the future!). I also own one of her beautiful prints of original artwork. Parker is an amazing artist and her tattoos are of outstanding quality. She is professional, clean and welcoming. I highly recommend getting tattooed by Parker, it's a pleasure to support such a lovely and caring person who takes such pride in their art. <3

My experience with getting a tattoo done by Parker was amazing! She's super friendly and easy to make conversation with, even while getting a needle blasted into you. The linework and detail is phenomenal, and the moth I got done gets constant compliments. I was traveling from out of state so I set up this appointment way in advance to ensure I could snag a spot while I was passing through Portland. Parker was super accommodating to the fact that I was on a road trip, and even sent me off with some free supplies to take care of my tattoo while camping. I changed my mind on the custom design I wanted a few weeks before my appointment and the change of plans was of no concern to Parker, and I'm super happy with the direction we took the peice. Definitely looking forward to the next tattoo I get done here at Midnight.

I had my very first tattoo experience with Parker about a year ago, and went back to her for a second one after a wonderful experience. I found her via Instagram, and decided to reach out with a proposal, being fortunate enough to get it accepted! She responded quickly, despite having a mass following and an abundance of proposals from thousands of others. She asked me what my budget was, and was extremely accommodating to that while making sure the price was reasonable for the complexity of the piece. She is such a welcoming person with great energy, is very professional, and likely one of the chillest people you will ever meet. She takes her work very seriously and wants to make sure you are getting the best tattoo she can provide. Any negative comments left about her, her business, or her partner, Maria, are from people who clearly lack respect for individuals in this talented line of work. I plan to continue letting Parker continue my sleeve, and anyone should consider themselves lucky to be tattooed by her or Maria. Two extremely talented individuals that deserve ALL the praise and credit for the hard work that they do on a daily basis. Bottom line, do not demand a service while simultaneously degrading the workers within that field. Especially if you are verbalizing your negativity from a lack of understanding and straight up disrespect. 5 stars NO question.

i got a tattoo from Parker back in February and the whole experience was so smooth. They worked with me to figure out what placement would best suit my style, and then meticulously placed my tattoo to make sure that it was properly centered (wrist tattoo). All of their work is extremely unique and i can’t wait to be back to the studio for more tattoos! The two other artists there also have beautiful work and i plan to have a few pieces designed by each of them at some point. Do yourself a favor and check out @themidnightcollectivepdx on instagram!
Thanks so much Parker!

Parker is an absolute professional! She is friendly, talented, communicative, and so easy to get along with. I adore my snake tattoo and I get complimented on it literally everywhere I go. When tattoo shops open up again, I plan on coming back to get a bird! I haven't been tattooed by Jordyn or Maria yet but I admire their work and plan to hit them up sometime in the next year or so.

Parker is genuinely one of the most kind-hearted, humble, and caring people I have ever met. My tattoo experience was incredible. I felt immediately at home in the studio and felt it was nothing but a safe, no judgement space. Parker is obviously not only talented and professional but the conversations we had were authentic and hopeful. I left feeling more encouraged and lighter about my chronic illness after parker and I talked about what it’s like living with one. It was one of my better days. A million times over I would recommend this shop!

Got an arm piece done by Parker in December and she’s absolutely wonderful! Super professional and responsive when booking the appointment, I claimed one of her custom designs PLUS she even changed it a little the day of per my request- so it would come out just how I wanted! The actual tattoo took shorter than i thought it would and turned out amazing! I’ve also purchased some of her merch and i love her artwork- she deserves to put it on whatever she’d like. The studio is so cute and clean and has a sitting area if you bring a friend, plus her dog was there for the end of my appointment! Definitely gonna get another piece from her when I can
