Pussycat Tattoo

This tattoo parlor has such a vibe to it. The music, the artists, are amazing! I have only had experience working with Dave Miles, but let me tell you, he does great work! If you are moving around too much, he tells you. If something looks off center, he tells you. I am going back for the third time tomorrow, if that tells you anything. Ask for Dave Miles. He's got patience and he isn't even a doctor.

Saad did amazing on my first tattoo! Great place. Friendly and fun staff!

I knew pretty much exactly what I wanted except for the placement. The artist I had was gene and on the first shot he placed it perfectly, and in a way my inexperienced mind didn’t think of. These guys know what they’re doing. They have lots of artists so they can get you one who will be good with whatever style tattoo you want. Going back for more, because I’m very satisfied with my first one. I’ll update this then. They just finished remodeling and it seems they can handle a lot. All you hear is buzzing when you walk in. I think the high volume they can handle leaves more time to figure out exactly what you want and where. Go check this place out!

I’ve gone back for more tattoos quite a few times since this review. As the older tattoos are healing they go back over them and make then look even better. I’ve had zero issues and if you are interested just go in and talk to the guy up front. He’s very informed and can find the answers for your questions and you have like 5 or 6 tattoo artists to choose from. I am still getting all my tattoos with Gene and he KNOWS how to help you make the right decision. These guys know a lot about what looks good and what looks weird. Good tattoo shop here no matter which artist. Good work ethic here.

Still always going here. Been working with Saad. He’s been doing tattoos since ‘94 or so. I’m getting my best work yet. Tattoos have been an excellent alternative for therapy. I don’t gotta talk to a therapist I just reflect on my life experiences whenever I look at my tattoos pretty much. It’s real therapy in my honest opinion.

I have been coming to Erick for my tattoos since I was 18. I now have 6 done by him! He is so funny and entertaining that you aren’t even thinking about being tattooed. He is wonderful!!

The lady that did the tat, was great but there costumer service sucks, always talking over you and telling you how it's gonna work. I'm covered in tattoo's and would never go back.

Thom Grayson is a literal tattoo god! His art is second to none! He does everything from uniquely original freehand to amazingly beautiful cover ups. The Portland area is truly lucky to have him.

I went to Matt and I had an okay experience, he didn’t do what I wanted at all but luckily it still turned out fine. He really just did what he wanted with my tattoo and didn’t communicate with me at all. I gave him reference pictures and told him what I was going for at the beginning and the tattoo wasn’t anything like I asked for. So, be careful with who you choose to do your tattoo and be very thorough with what you’re asking for

My wife and I went and got tattoos here. Everyone was professional helpful and and amazing at at doing the work. Definitely going back, and I'm definitely recommending them to others.

AWESOME!!! Matt was great. Love the work he did! Highly recommend!!!

I have a tattoo on my hand that I had previously "had fixed" twice before. Each time it didn't heal right and the ink would sort of "fade". Erick tattooed my hand in 2019 and it has held without fade. I also returned this last December and I continue to find his work exemplary. I plan on coming back to him in the future for more work!
