It was quite some time since I had the tattoo done but I have never recommended them since. My…read moretattoo ended up being much larger than I wanted and that is because the artist said it would look better like that so he continued to do it in the size he wanted. It was late when I had this done but I was not expecting to be there for almost 5 hours. He was getting tired and kids were running in and out of the shop. I'm assuming they were his children. I think getting a tattoo completed at almost 11:00 at night is way too late. There was no indication that this tattoo would ever take that long. The worst part of it is that the tattoo ended up infected and when I went back to the shop I was told it's because I wore jeans and it rubbed against the tattoo. So all I could assume from that point on is that all the men that go in there and get tattoos on their legs must wear skirts? This was the second tattoo I got done there. I should have realized after the first one not to go back but they gave me a really good excuse about why the first one blew out. Knowing what I know now, many years later I realized it was because it was the tattoo artist mistake and not just because my skin doesn't accept red ink. I have since become established with an amazing artist and every one of the artists at the shop she works at laugh at the idea that he told me my body does not accept red ink and that's why it blew out. Lesson learned, unfortunately it is one that will be on my body forever. I guess I should say too that will be on my body forever. One of them is unseen because it is up by the nape of my neck but the other one is on my leg and since I am so unhappy with it I have never worn anything that would show it. I keep it hidden at all times.

This place is as good as it gets…read more A few friends and I found this place when another shop suggested we check them out, and we we thrilled. The shop is a small, and warm space both comfortable as well as clean and friendly. We had called with a very vague idea of what we wanted and within a matter of hours they had something drawn up that was better than any of us expected. We were all getting matching tattoos and not one of us had a single change to make to the drawing. It was exactly what we wanted but couldn't quite put into words, but these guys managed to sketch it out and it was spot on. The shop owner was really nice as was the other artist (Brad) who did my tattoo. Both worked fast and diligently with the friendly banter you'd expect from a barber shop. Brad, who tattooed me, had a light hand and did a great job with the colors. Start to finish the whole experience was exactly what you want in a tattoo shop. The prices are more than fair, the work is outstanding, the shop looks great, the artists are honest and dedicated. If there were 6 stars they would get them. If you are looking to get tattooed and you live anywhere near this place do yourself a favor and check them out. Myself and my friends who got tattooed there are thrilled and everything about this shop soared above our expectations.

I can't recommend Jeff at Scorpio Rising Tattoo enough! He did incredible work on a few meaningful…read moretattoos for me and my family to honor a loved one who passed, as well as our dog. Jeff was not only professional and talented, but also funny and welcoming. He made the whole experience feel comfortable and special. He went above and beyond, even fitting in an extra last-minute tattoo for someone in our group. Jeff took the time to make sure each design and placement was perfect, and he walked my 69 yr old dad through his very first tattoo with patience and care. The shop itself is open and relaxed, with lots of Jeff's amazing artwork on display. And his dog is absolutely adorable, which made the visit even better. Jeff is a fantastic artist and a great human. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo in Portland, go see him. You won't regret it!

It's the second floor of a house, and you genuinely feel like you've been welcomed into a home. And then the artists...are spectacular in really every way.

On top of all that, their prices are super reasonable. Getting inked can be super nerve wracking, particularly if it's your first time. I can't imagine a better studio than Tsunami to put you at ease. Seriously I can't recommend them highly enough.
