Great place. Clean, friendly. LOADS better than any other place in Gresham. Go here, not Jaded Souls (in downtown Gresham, trash place, gives you infections).

I calleed and spoke with jo. Specifically asked if they were accepting walkins. She put me on hold as if she had no idea as to what I was asking. Came back to the line and asked how long it would take me to get there and told me to call from my car upon arrival. I understand. I get there call, get the ok to go in after being out on hold (shes obviously asking the artist if hes ready, etc) go in and after speaking with the artist for a bit he springs on me they dont do walk in same day tattoo. Itd be weeks out. The artist made it clear he was only still at the shop today because of

I came in for a consultation for my first tattoo with a couple pictures and a general idea of what I wanted. I met with Say, and told him what I was looking for. I was impressed with his ideas to get a cartoon tiger shark to look recognizable. I scheduled an appointment. I came in and wasn't totally happy (or rather didn't understand) his finished outline he was going to use. He was more than happy to help explain how the finished (shaded) product was going to look and made some quick changes to it to fit my idea better. Say did my tattoo explained what he was doing the whole way. I am SO happy

If I could put more then 5 stars I would. Ive had two pretty awful tattoo experiences to say the least but Nate turned that anxiety around. He completely brought my dull, and sad cover up into such a stunning piece that I cant stop looking at it. I cried tears of joy when I got home because this was exactly what I wanted when I first got the tattoo done but it was so poorly done by the first artist. If you want a place that cares, is clean and does amazing work, this is the place. I will NEVER go anywhere else. They will always have my business. Love them!

Got my first tattoo here about a month ago. Had an idea I really liked and the artist both improved on the design (with my approval) and was super sociable explaining both the experience and aftercare process. Will definitely come back here for more work if I want more done
