Amazing little shop tucked down in the basement under a big older building. Really clean shop , cool vibes and nice caring polite staff! Josh ( pokey) did my little wrist tat and was a perfectionist about getting it right and making him & I happy. Will definitely come here again if I choose to get another tat. read more

Called and asked a few questions. They were great with giving simple answers. I decided to go for it and get my Eagles Superbowl Tattoo fixed up and to add our new one. Smitty looked it over and said no problem. Gave me a great price and we got started immediately. In less then 2 hours he was able to make the tattoo look like he just did the whole thing. It absofreakinlootly awesome. He fixed things we didn't even talk about. It's that kinda going the extra mile for his client that the wife and I have been looking for. He will definitely be getting all of our future business. If I could do or say more to say thank you to Smitty I would. 100% recommend Oregon City Tattoo. read more

So.... today I did a thing..... I have wanted to get a tattoo for over 40 years, but the time was never 'right'. But now - Im 'of a certain age' - where I just dont give a shit what anyone might think. I have ONE life and this is it, so Im going to start doing what *I* want. So, to get back to what I did.... I got a tattoo! My very first! My daughter said to go to Oregon City Tattoo because they are great for 'first time tattoos' and she was absolutely RIGHT!! My Tattooer (Tattooist?) was a guy named Smitty. SOOOOO very nice!! Actually everyone in the store was soooo very nice! Upbeat, fun, cheerful, happy BUT still professional. I had put together a sketch of what I wanted, and showed it to Smitty. He took it and worked on his computer for a tad, and then brought back his version which was soooo much better than what I had drawn! It was absolutely beautiful! He explained exactly what to expect and he let me know what the price was (alot less than I had thought it would be!) and we picked out the colours and then he got started. He did one little line first and then asked if I was ok with that... and because it didnt hurt at all, I said 'yes' so he continued with the rest of the piece. He was sooo gentle and soooo very careful and you can just tell that he really loves what he does! (hes been doing it for 40 years!! thats a LONG time!!) When he was done, he gave me very clear after care instructions and then double checked that I had 'heard' them, because the aftercare part is very important so you dont end up with issues! I really was impressed with the store (it was clean and neat and smelled good) and the guys who were doing the tattooing (also clean and neat and respectful and so very nice!) and I am truly happy with the piece that Smitty did for me. Im really so very glad I went there today - I dont think I could have gone anywhere that would have done a better job! I will attach photos later, once the bandage comes off and all the colours are showing up completely read more

Smitty is awesome, he has done three tats for me now and I can't wait to get another. His design work is great and he works closely with you to ensure that what you're getting is exactly what you want. I had an incident a few years back that caused my leg to spasm each time the needle hit me. Smitty worked through this and still managed to put on a perfect image. Don't know how he did it, but if he can do that, he can definitely do you right. I have recommeded friends to Smitty, that will now go nowhere else. If you're thinking about a new design or your first, do yourself a giant favor and see Smitty, you won't need to go anywhere else and you will end up with perfection. read more

I'd been looking forward to a new partial sleeve for about 15 years. It was my reward for weight loss success. :) I emailed Smitty the design idea and the reference pic, and he turned it into beautiful art on my arm! I love it sooooo very much, and I'm super happy with my tattoo. Now I look forward to warmer weather so I can show it off! :D I'd go back to Smitty in a heartbeat for another tattoo. He's so easy going and nice (and Josh "Pokie" is very friendly too) -- the sort of guy you want doing your tattoo because he cares about the quality of his work. read more

they fucked up 2 of my tattoos. super cheap looking and the needle was way too deep so i have some ink blowouts and the design is really messed up. and the other one doesn't look like the reference picture and is all messed up. i would wait for hours to get a tattoo done that i booked ahead of time for. probably wouldn't come here again, can't believe i have this on my skin permanently, they don't seem to be too considerate of that. read more

loved the experience and decent prices for tattoos, i got a small one for my siblings, very welcoming as well and the vibe it gave was amazing, definitely would go back and get another one read more

Smitty does a great job. He was very patient with me as we repositioned the stencil multiple times to get it centered and straight. His lines were right on and the shading is very even. He and I chatted the entire time he was working on my first tattoo and I never felt nervous once. The instructions he provided for after care have been right on and I can't wait to take this thing out in the sun! read more
