I went here based off a recommendation from a friend. I wanted so badly to love my tattoo, it's such a meaningful piece for me, but it's terrible. After consulting with two other artists, it's almost irreparable without making it extremely dark, and I'll likely have to get laser removal. Gabe was the artist, I specifically mentioned how much I love the linework and negative space in my reference photos. Instead, what I got was a lot of solid black, muddy weirdly placed shading, and sloppy linework. The black was added while I was talking with a friend, and it was too late for me to protest it. I'm saddened by the experience, Gabe was wonderful through the consult. read more

Shout out to Malone for my new favorite tat! picked some of their sick flash. Love the art style, really cool designs. This is my third time coming back to them, they are always pleasant to be tattooed by. Love the ambiance in the shop. The walls were painted my favorite color. So, that's a bonus too. read more

Billy was awesome. He knew how to handle older skin and my small tat is great. Going back for sure.

I got a walk-in tattoo with Gabe. He did a great job on the tattoo and making the vibes safe and chill. Will be back again.

My husband had Billy as a tattoo artist he got the job done, we were both very satisfied with his work. Sadly we're on vacation and don't live in town, but if we get a chance we'll definitely be coming back!! read more

I got my first tattoos here and I have zero regrets. The people at this place are very kind and take the time to look over the tattoos you want to get and give you really good information and tips. The customer service is excellent. The place is great too, it has a very chill/cool relaxing vibe to it. Coyote was my tattoo artist. He did an amazing job and I really appreciated how he took the time and put attention to detail. Overall I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to come back! read more

If I could give this place NEGATIVE stars I would. Gawd awful tattoo parlor. My daughter went to get her first tattoo. She came in with an image she wanted and was very specific in her request for both size and line. 3-4 inches and fine lines. The artist talked over her and mandsplained how it needed to be bigger... made it bigger and did a horrible drawing and tracing of the tattoo. The tattoo looks NOTHING like the image and the artist clearly needs to go back to tattoo school because he can neither draw nor trace and a Toddler could have done better line work. Buyer beware! There are a TON of great artists in this city but not at this shop and not by Gavin. read more

I cannot think of a single negative thing when it comes to this shop and the experience I had with it. Even their receptionist and shop apprentice get 5 stars! I came in here looking for my first tattoo and was introduced to my artist, Danny. I had a design that I wanted and I could instantly tell that he was just as excited about the piece as I was. I didnt feel awkward or out of place being a "newbie" at all. Danny was very polite and professional and explained the process and steps we would be taking to complete my upper arm/shoulder piece. The atmosphere of the shop was fantastic. All of the artists seem to get along really well and actually enjoy working there and working together. The receptionist is as sweet as can be and made sure she kept herself busy even when it got a little slow and the apprentice was definitely there to learn and work hard. A great crew! During the actual tatttoing, Danny was very thorough and explained everything he was doing. He took some time to explain to the apprentice, Cody, what he was doing and why and how he was doing it. I could tell he has taken great pride in my piece and it makes me just that much happier to have ended up here! We got the outline and shading done in 2 1/2 hours and once it is healed, I will be going back for a few color sessions. My floral design is absolutely beautiful! I am so impressed and so pleased with it. I would recommend this shop and Danny as an artist in a heartbeat! As far as the bigger pieces so, it is $135/hour cash. $150/hour if you use a debit or credit card. They also require a minimum $50 deposit when you make your appointment that goes towards the final price. I will definitely be back!! read more

I got my first tattoo here, but was overpriced for a 4 inch outlined tattoo. When I sent the photo in to the artist, and he put it onto my skin, he only tattooed the outline when I wanted the details in it as well. The service is nice, and I was a walk in, but I was charged $350 for it. Make sure you're really specific with what you want, and don't let them take advantage of you like me. read more

Okay where to start. When you walk into this place, it literally smells like a hospital! I mean it is sterile! If I am getting pierced, I expect the cleanliness of the place to match a doctor's office, and these guys deliver on that. Secondly, they have a great selection of body jewelry. Rivka helped me pick out a beautiful yellow gold stud that suited my skin tone, and I couldn't stop looking at it on my way home. She explained the whole piercing process, what to expect, and was very welcoming throughout the whole thing. She was also very knowledgeable about the piercing I wanted, and was quite a perfectionist. She told me everything she was doing, as she was doing it, and stopped to explain every part of the procedure so there were no surprises. Lastly, they really make you feel at home here, which is quite nice when you are nervous about getting pierced. Their piercings are reasonably priced, but the jewelry can cost you depending on what you want. However, with any kind of jewelry (and piercing) you get what you pay for. Overall, great place, wonderful staff, good atmosphere. Will be back! read more

This is the only shop I've ever been to when getting my tattoo's - I have five now - and I plan on continuing to go only here for however many more I get in the future. Danny has always been my artist and I was relieved to find out that he stayed with the shop when they made their move, although I would love to and do plan to get some work done by either Joe or Dominic, just based off of pictures I've seen of their work and the great reviews I've read who have gone to them. Professional, fun crew, CLEAN shop and quality work - what more could you ask for?! read more

In December 2016 I had my daith pierced by Rivka and it was such an amazing experience. I could tell she was very professional while still being an amazing, funny, and bubbly person. I was expecting pain but it was quick and then over. She walked me through all of the steps of the aftercare and the entire procedure at the shop was very hygienic. I will definitely be returning for any further piercings!! read more

I wanted to go fairly big for my very first tattoo -- two angel wings taking up about half my back -- so it was important to me that I find a nice place with a good artist. After visiting some condescending tattoo artists in Portland and twitching at portfolios with crooked lines from others, I found myself standing at Living Art Tattoo flipping through Austin Rose's portfolio. His shading work was incredible and I liked some of the feather wings he had done. I met him a few minutes later, a big bald guy with a tattoo'd scalp, and described what I wanted. He was about to go have lunch but he promised he'd have a sketch ready in about 45 minutes. I came back and loved it. The line work for my angel wings took about 2 hours and Austin helpfully explained every detail. It looked fantastic and it still does. I did call about a month later to try to go back in for shading but never heard back. Maybe another time. read more

Badass. My mom raves about this place! Sends everyone here... So I had to check it out! So legit!

I've never gotten such bad tattoos. Billy Jack should not be allowed to tattoo. I understand that finger and hand tattoos are difficult, but I'm now stuck for life with 2 tattoos that I don't think can even be fixed, which he refuses to do anyway unless I pay him again or get another one from him. Why on earth would I go back? These are only 2 weeks old read more

Just had my Tattoo refined by Jade. He did a beautiful job adding detail to a faded tattoo that was so gray hues. Added some names and pieces to bring everything together! I could not be happier! Thanks Jade. All of the artists were very friendly to. read more

I got my first tattoo here from Ian and I felt so comfortable! I am a huge wimp and everyone in the shop made me feel right at home. It was a last minute tattoo and had a little detail and only paid $80! Great pricing and great people read more

Not the best customer service if you walk in, even though they take walk ins. Plus the blond lady that works there, totally unfriendly. She actually makes you feel like you are inconveniencing her by asking her a question and she is really great at avoiding you too. And when you finally get acknowledged from her....wow! She is just amazing at making you feel like an a-hole for walking into a business. The pricing is a bit inconsistent too. It's location is convenient for me, but I am pretty sure I won't go back, between the customer service and the wide range on pricing..... read more

These guys are great, and Damian is amazing. My 11yr old High Functioning Autistic daughter was ready to get her ears pierced. Going to a crowded mall to have a teenager rip a hole in her ear with a piercing gun that would probably leave it infected - wasn't worth the $50 we would have saved. So, my husband and I took her into Damian to have it done right. Damian was calm and patient, and enthusiastically answered every question she had. If you have experience with autistic kids, you'll know that is saying a LOT. He really knows his stuff, and was able to answer every inquiry without missing a beat. He included us as parents, but addressed my daughter since she was the client. He walked her through every part of the process, and helped her make informed decisions along the way. He took his time and made sure she thoroughly understood how to clean and care for her piercings herself. He was as obsessively precise about the cleanliness, technique, and placement of her piercings as he is with any other type. When my daughter freaked out a bit after the first ear, he gave her plenty of space but plenty of encouragement too. After the fact, he told her what a great client she was, and reassured her that he has adults come in and make a bigger fuss than her. He even gushed a little about how cool it was to be a part of such an important moment in her life. The rest of the staff was friendly, but didn't interact with us much. They were happy to turn off the death metal they normally listen to, and put some mellow reggae on instead. When she came out with her newly pierced ears, they were friendly and chatted with her about them and told her how great they looked. This was an incredibly positive experience for my daughter. She's all smiles, and none of us can say enough great things about it. ETA - It's been a few months and we've had no problems. No infections. No problems. Because Damian's care instructions were so clear an thorough, my daughter has been able to care for her ears properly all by herself. When she lost a backing and one stud fell out, about a month after her ears were pierced, we came in to get another backing. Damian insisted on sterilizing the stud and putting it back in for her, just like he would any other type, and only charged us for the new backing. He seemed genuinely happy to see us again, and to see how the piercing was working out. read more

MONEY STEALERS I put a $50 dollar deposit down to hold a tattoo appointment. Money is non- refundable. I understood that part. I get a call 1 HOUR before my appointment saying JADE wont be in for awhile due to a back injury. So I scheduled my tattoo elsewhere as I wanted my tattoo done by a certain date and paid to hold that date. Went back to ask for my deposit back since he should not get paid for cancelling the appointment. Its only professional to return the money if the customer asks... since HE WAS THE ONE WHO CANCELED. He refused to return my money. They never even called me to reschedule and its been 2 weeks! Jade im a college student and worked hard for my $50 and you didn't do ANY work for it. Stealing from a young girl and telling me to my face that you wont give my money back must have felt awesome. DONT GO TO HIM ps I was pleased with my other tattoo done by him. And had respect for him until now. But on a side note, his tattoos are very cartoony and if you want something that's realistic I wouldn't recommend his work anyways. read more

This is the 4th tattoo that I've gotten at Living Art. I believe it was under different ownership the last 3 times, I wasn't thrilled with the employees attitude when I've been here in the past but it seems like everyone in Gresham goes here cause it's easy. I wasn't planning on getting more tattoos but I went in with my friend a few weeks ago and I watched her get one, the place had a friendly vibe now and I caught tattoo fever when I watched her get one. I made my appointment about 2 weeks later with a different artist. I had a photo with me that he said couldn't be done because of the size and area it was going to be place. I was ok with that and I asked him if he could draw up a simple Lotus flower. I'm not very picky, I guess I should have been. He put it on my arm first to see if I liked it, I was nervous because I haven't gotten a tattoo in years, I had him move it down and we both agreed it was good. Anyway. When i took the plastic off the next day the flowers petals are uneven and it makes me crazy! It was a very SIMPLE drawing done by an "artist" and I'm very disappointed in it. I'll be checking out a different place to see if there's any way it can be fixed. This will be my last trip to living art. read more

Jade is awesome and so is the shop!! My bestfriend was in town and we had an appt schedule at another shop and 60mins before they canceled on us. She was only in town for a couple days so we called Jaded and they got us both in that night and the treated us great and the price was just right!! 5-Stars for a great local shop. read more

I got my first tattoo here. As you may see i do have darker skin and I was so worried about the finished tattoo coming out and looking like a bruise or some other unknown markings lol... This was the first shop I was suggested to use and I will never use another...these guys are great and take the time to understand what you want exactly. Thnx guys, read more

Jade did my tattoo yesterday and did an amazing job :) I extremely happy with it Def will be back thank guys :)

Great environment to be tattooed or pierced in. All the artists are extremely talented and all my tattoos by Billy Jack have turned out gorgeous. The piercers are great, too. Very calming and will talk you through the process. I had my industrial done by Carl, and my sister and I brought her (then) 7 year old daughter to get her ears pierced by Aaron. There was a lot of legal red tape to cut through to get my niece's ears pierced (legal guardian present with a birth certificate, Aaron spoke with the little one for a bit, etc), but it was well worth it. Super clean and done by the book. read more

Took my son in to get his ears pierced and was turned away. Mind you this is after I called and drove 45 minutes into town! I was told i needed to bring in his birth certificate or school transcripts to prove I was his mum. Mind you, I'm all for keeping things legal and safe, but don't tell me one thing on the phone then have someone else tell me another in person! Gas isn't cheap and neither was the 2 hours wasted from my life. Not a fan and will never go back for anything. Sorry. read more

I have been going here ever since I started getting tattoos done. Ever since the owner Jade did my first tat I haven't gone to anyone else. He is an amazing artist and every time some one compliments my tattoos I make sure to let them know where and who I got it from. Thank you Jade for all you awesome work!!! read more

I went to this place wanting to get a nice tattoo, and in the end one side of it is completely jacked up. I paid in the 3 digits for a tattoo with wobbly lines and blow out (I've been taking really good care of this tattoo too and I am pissed that it messed up.) Not only was it bad, but the atmosphere of the whole place was far more relaxed and not as professional as it should have been. And when I say not professional I mean they talked crap about every other tattoo shop I had been to and every shop in Oregon. Also SURPRISE RAPE JOKES ARE NOT OK(was told one by another artist in the middle of me getting my tat, it wasn't directed toward me but it was still not cool) ,They are Way to cocky, and think they are beyond the best. Needless to say I'm never going back. read more

Called today and did a walk in with Jade. My tattoo is AMAZING! Took about an hour, he was negotiable on price, did beautiful work, had great conversation, I was thoroughly impressed. I'll definitely be going back for more work, and would recommend Jade to anyone. read more

Billy was fantastic!! From drawing up what I had in mind to having it done, 5 stars! The first draw was perfect, no tweaks! I am a big baby and Billy made me feel comfortable and helped me get through it!! I haven't been to many tattoo shops but I liked the atmosphere here and the people! I will go back if I decide I want more and refer to others! read more

I called and made an appointment, but when I came in and gave them my name, I was told that they hadn't actually made me an appointment. This was the only day I could do it, because I was leaving for college. Not only was that incredibly frustrating and disappointing, but the person that delivered this information was incredibly rude about it. When I am home again and decide to actually go get my tattoo, this will definitely not be the place I go. read more

One artist in particular left a lot to be desired. Went with my lady for a couples tattoo armed with a pic of our idea with some minor variations. What we received was a sorry 2D interpretation, and mocker, of what we wanted or what anyone would expect. Poor shading. In some places shading was nonexistant were it shouldve been. Worse yet, lines and dimensions were grossly skewed; lines that traversed other lines didnt even meet up. What happened? Artist, i use that term loosely, chris, is what happened. I cannot in good conscience recommend him. However, jade and billy jack are incredibly talented and true masters of the art. Artists not mentioned i will not remark upon being that i havent experienced their work. read more

I walked here one day to get an industrial and was definitely glad I did! Damian did an excellent job at making sure everything was sterilized, and he thoroughly went over the aftercare procedure about what to do and what to avoid. I'll admit I acted a bit like a baby (just nerves from waiting), but there was almost no pain. He put it exactly where I wanted it and it looks great! It's healing nicely as well :) The price is a few dollars higher than other piercing shops in the area, but worth it because of their high quality jewelry and experienced piercers. read more
