Jared answered the phone when I first called before my trip into Portland to visit a friend,…read morebecause after searching some shops, New Rose seemed like the best! My friend and I were wanting matching plastic vampire teeth tattoos since it'd be Halloween weekend and he was so kind when I told him what we wanted and mentioned he hadn't finished his flash sheet so he'd add in the teeth, (spoiler, they were PERFECT). The day we were planning on coming in was their planned flash day so we knew we had to anticipate a potential wait. The rainy Portland weather was in our favor because, even though we were unable to make our way in at 10:30AM as he recommended, we ventured in at 3PM and still got a spot in line. Jared was great, adding the text I wanted to my flash, and even touching up a small hand/wrist tattoo that was poorly done by someone else in a different state prior. Truly, so thankful he answered the phone that day bc I got a great vibe from him. He was also able to successfully turn my "splotch" knuckle tattoo (my loving nickname for it) to a beautiful black skull that ACTUALLY STAYED PUT (it was the 4th attempt over an old scar I had and he was the only one to successfully have a tattoo stick on it without it looking weird once healed). Since Jared was short on time before an appt, Ali did my friends matching fangs and they both turned out amazingly. Overall, I now fully intend to make the journey from Sacramento to Portland anytime I want something done so I can specifically have him do it or his shop-mate that does phenomenal portrait style flash/tattoos (she was diagonal from us when we were there - blonde long hair and beanie). The shop was super clean, artists were all super friendly, front desk apprentice was easy on the eyes, what's not love? 100/10 could not recommend this place enough!

When in Portland, a family member and I decided we wanted to get matching tattoos. We got one…read moreduring a girl's trip in Vegas, so why not Portland too? We walked in to Atlas Tattoo without an appointment and we were luckily accommodated. They normally let you do "call-ins" to place yourself on a timed slot during the day but one of the artists, Lewis, had time to squeeze us in. We got small matching tulips and wanted a fine line, minimalist design. We showed him exactly what we wanted and he drew it up and got us going. Between the two of us we were there for about an hour ish. Lewis did a fantastic job and he priced us decently - we contacted other spots who were asking upwards of $200 for a design that was going to take 20-30 minutes so we appreciated that Atlas Tattoo quotes accordingly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a tattoo in Portland!

I am so glad I found Virginia! I originally told her I…read morewanted a poppy, and she came up with a beautiful drawing of 3 different poppies at different stages of blooming. She didn't know at first but this was for my daughter, and it was the perfect art work to honor her that fit me perfectly. She also did a tribute tattoo on my other arm for my mom that was in perfect fine line that looks like it was hand written in one strike. She was easy to work with, really fun to talk to, and somehow made 4 hours fly by. I didn't think I'd want another tattoo for awhile but I'll definitely be back to Scapegoat to see Virginia soon. Thanks again!

So glad that I discovered Sarah Carr! She's an all-around exceptional artist to work with, and…read morethat's made me a return customer. Sarah listens closely to what you want and then finds a cute, stylish way to make it work. Her placement is precise, she has a firm yet gentle touch, and her use of color is fantastic (both color theory and saturation). I've never been hip and now I'm getting old, so I'm quite used to feeling anxiously out-of-place in tattoo shops, but Scapegoat is more approachable and welcoming than your average shop. They go out of their way to offer water, space heaters, heating pads, masks, or whatever else might make you feel most comfortable. The artists seem to support and treat each other kindly. The bathroom is a work of art. Everything is clean. It's easy to find unmetered parking a couple blocks away. And this is a vegan business to boot! I couldn't ask for more.

Conversation flowed easily and he had a killer music playlist going. Even his partner Hanam was a great guy and seemed vested in the quality of the work being done!

The studio is extremely clean; even while in the process of relocating. Bex and the other artists are very conscientious of their tools and space. Bex is a remarkable artist. Their watercolor technique adds dimension and brings the art work to life. I feel honored to wear their art!
