Pins & Needles

Decided the night before we wanted tattoos on our day trip to Portland. Saw this place online and went in around 7pm, waited about a half hour as there were people ahead of us. Ended up deciding to get my helix while I waited because the piercer didnt have anyone at the time. Most painless and speedy piercing experience ever!! The artists stayed well past close to make sure my friend and I each got tattooed. Wonderful experience, super clean, good vibes from everyone we interacted with!! We will be back soon 💜 thank you guys again! If you have anxiety over needles or being tatted, this is the place to go!! Didnt get anxious at all!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place for my piercings and tattoos. Caleb does amazing with piercings and is very professional. BigMike who did my tattoo was just awesome. Tattoo looks exactly like the picture reference which is what I wanted. Couldn’t ask for a better place to go. Definitely found my forever piercing/tattoo shop as long as the employees stay the same.

Came here back in April 2023 to get my nose done by Caleb. Amazing experience, very professional. I stopped in tonight after dinner with my mom. She’s wanted her first tattoo for a while and wanted a simple cross. Just a line one way and a line the other way. Simple cross. The tattoo artist that was there for the night around 4:15 was outside smoking, staring at us knowing we wanted something. We walked up to him explaining what she wanted also I should add I’m getting the same tattoo to match her. So I explain just simple and cute I wanna match my mom. I stated she has never had a tattoo. He goes “nothing drawn up??” Um no, one this was spur of the moment and I didn’t know I needed to draw you a simple cross. Look it up. So we walk in sternly he goes “got your ID’s” and we both say yes. Second words out of his mouth. “Shop minimum is $100. Just so you both know so 200” uhhh, we did not care about the money we CARED about the experience together. So my mom looked at me and said we will wait because he made her super uncomfortable. An for me, someone who has over 20 tattoos that was the FIRST time I ever felt “this man will not tattoo me. Im very uneasy.” You were rude, made my mother very feel stupid for wanting something so simple. I will gladly wait months to get into my local tattoo shop before ever coming back here. Wish I got your name because you are DRY. Very uneasy. Bad vibe. I can’t imagine going to get your first tattoo and having someone be like that.

I went to get my Septum nose pierced with a friend and I had Caleb. Caleb could tell my friend and I were slightly nervous so he was very professional and had a very calming presence and walked us through both of our piercings. He also went out of his way to recommend special types of jewelry for my nose and gave a few sites to use for jewelry as well. I will say that at first I didn't listen to him.... and I purchased cheap Amazon jewelry after the allotted time he gave for healing and my nose was not impressed with my terrible choice .....so my nose had swelled. I contacted Caleb immediately after making MY mistake and he was actually able to see me that day and he placed a new ring in and gave further instruction on which places are good places for new purchases. THANK YOU CALEB for your patience and understanding ! Would absolutely recommend his services with his many years of experience- the overall cleanliness of his work station- as well as his professional demeanor - I would recommend him to all of my friends and family!

Bad attitude and very unprofessional. I went in for a nose piercing of course I don’t know all the different types studs I’m not a professional so I asked to see them. He screamed at me “your not listening” I replied okay he repeats himself I explain idk what those are can I see a visual of what your speaking of. He says “ no I don’t even wanna work with you anymore and demands me to get out” in stunned idk what his problem is or why this is happening but I leave and luckily someone speaks up for me. “ As a bystander, sir, you’re very rude”
