    Shoutout to Sarah (@discordiapdx) - she understood the scoop. I told her what this phrase meant to me, the energy I wanted it to carry, and trusted her fully with the creative process after seeing her "Elisa" lettering on Insta From the jump, I was open and transparent - and she matched that with much care, patience, and artistry. She designed a script that flows beautifully with my body and honors the meaning behind every single word. You can tell she's intentional with her work - understanding anatomical layout, movement, and how the piece lives on you in every position. That's the kind of thoughtful artistry you don't find everywhere If you're looking for someone who will honor your story and elevate it with heart and precision reach out to Sarah Discordia

    Before. 34 yo tattoo.

    I had a 34 yo tattoo that the color and definition was fading badly. I wanted it refreshed with vibrant colors and popping definition. I found the perfect place. Paradigm Art Collective has another amazing artist- Cambria Lara. She is professional, friendly, reasonable prices, and works at a studio that is so very clean. All health precautions were taken and through explanation of what to expect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I worked with Cambria Lara for my tattoo. From the moment we started the process I was comfortable with Cambria. She took my ideas and my requests and really understood what I wanted. She did her own research to help fill in the gaps I had that were more vague. Her studio was very clean and well kept with lots of interesting art to check out. 10/10 would book with her again

    Scott is the artist I will recommend over anyone and is who will be finishing my body suit. He listens and gives his opinion of what will work best while making my ideas happen. He works with your budget and with who you are to make every session amazing. He is kind and honest and caring and wants every piece to be better than the last while making you comfortable and happy and relaxed.

    Cambria is amazing. First of all, her spot is so cozy and decorated adorable it's a vibe. She is super kind and talented and a delight to be around. She is so caring and detail oriented. She did a great job. Definitely follow her on Instagram so you can see her work. @twistedflamingo . She is great. And i would recommend her and go back for more!

    This was my first time here for some flashes from Sarah Discordia @discordiapdx on intsagram, she was awesome! Very friendly, fast, careful and incredibly easy to work with, this was definitely my easiest sitting for tattoos even through the elbow ditch the shop was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended reaching out and setting something up! Thanks again Sarah!

    OBSESSED with my new Ghostface Moth tattoo by Cambria. Everything from making sure the stencil was placed just right to playing the movie Scream while she tattooed Ghostface on me made for a great experience.

    A happy girl.

    My daughter had an amazing experience at Paradigm. My 6 year old told me she was ready to get her ears pierced so naturally I began to Yelp and research the best place to get it done. I began to communicate with Cheryl (sorry if I misspelled your name ) about her piercing process and we were able to order the exact pair of earrings ahead of time that my daughter wanted. Each step was clearly explained and most importantly my daughter felt comfortable and I felt confident that Cheryl would be able to do a great job. The room was so pretty and she even gave my daughter a soft plushie to have and hold onto during the process. We are very pleased with the overall experience and results and would recommend her to all of our friends and family.

    I had such a great experience with Sarah Discordia! Randomly stumbled upon her Instagram (@discordiapdx) and loved her work and loved that she was local to me. Shop is great, great vibes and very welcoming! So obsessed! Thanks again Sarah. Can't wait for the next one!

    Stunning and clean studio. I love the retro gaming vibes. I was here for my tattoos by Cambria. Great service she makes you feel welcome and comfortable and I love my tattoos. Will be back for more.

    Today, I got tattooed by Cambria and I was really nervous because I wasn't sure how my skin would do with color. Cambria was patient and explained how the different colors would work with my skin tone and made me feel super comfortable by checking in on how I'm feeling. She's thorough and quick and has a soft hand. I can't wait for my next tattoo with her!

    New art piece
    Leisha D.

    Got another tattoo from Cambria @twistedflamingo. She has done many of my tattoos and she will continue to be my go to artist, and the one I recommend to others. She is so kind, patient, and really cares about making the art you want special for you. She truly cares about ensuring her clients are happy and comfortable throughout the whole process. She has a nice studio, snacks, tv, and music. She even checks on you throughout your aftercare. Thank you Cambria for my new art piece, can't wait for another in the future.

    Great customer service. Sarah Disordia ( on IG @discordiapdx) was very friendly, easy to talk to and professional. It was my daughter's first tattoo and Sarah made her feel comfortable the whole time. Also, the shop was very clean and welcoming.

    Do you do earlobe piercings on minors (8y/o)?

    Of course with a parent or guardian.

    Hi there! Do you guys allow walk-ins just to buy some earrings? I already have my ears pierced but I wanted to buy some new earring jewelry. Thank you!

    Hello Natalia we definitely allow walk ins, feel free to come on in and view our selection of jewelry.

    That's great! Are there any gold options? Thank you!

    Yes we have a good variety of gold flat back screw jewelry that you can change out to :)

    Hi! We got our piercings done by Jorge last time and want to come back again for more next month. Do you guys have more new jewelry in stock for cartilage piercings? Any threaded back earrings vs the butterfly backings. Just curious.

    Hello Su this is Jorge, we have stocked more variety for cartilage piercings with threaded backs instead of butterfly back options.

After submitting the online inquiry form and messaging Sunny, I quickly received a response and an estimated cost. To my surprise, she has always wanted do beetle tattoos and was excited to work with me. Since it was my first tattoo, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. However, Sunny's friendliness and the store's calming ambiance made me feel reassured and surprisingly comfortable. From reference pictures to stenciling, Sunny walked me through each step and ensure all the details of the darkling beetles were included. Furthermore, before the initial outlining, other artists in the store were asked to double check the stencil (flow, composition, etc). 3 hours quickly passed and I got my first 3 beetle tattoos done on my forearm. It didn't hurt too bad because I was enjoying the nerdy beetle conversation with Sunny. After the tattoos were wrapped up, Sunny gave me a run down on the after-care routine and what to expect during the healing process. In the end, I am so glad that I went to Sunny from My Tattoo for the beetle tattoos. This is why I am having Sunny finishing a full beetle sleeve on my left arm.

It was a little out of the way and was super expensive so I searched around Yelp to see which ones nearby use needles and saw Paradigm's account. After seeing their straightforward pricing on their webpage, we decided to give them a try. Since our daughter was under 11 months old, we called ahead and were thoroughly informed about what to expect. Pediatric piercings are done on Sundays, which worked perfectly for our schedules. Her pricing already includes the earrings, which was a plus. The entire experience was thoughtful and professional. She first applied numbing cream and let it sit for about 20 minutes. She then placed a headband on our daughter to keep her hair out of the way, carefully marked both ears, and had us verify that the placement looked even before proceeding. Our daughter cried at first, which is to be expected, but once she saw her reflection afterward, she smiled! We really appreciated how gentle, patient, and detail-oriented she was throughout the process. It made what could have been a stressful experience much easier for both baby and parents. We highly recommend Paradigm to anyone looking for a safe and professional place for infant ear piercings.

The shop is always clean and professional, and the staff always take extra care to ensure everything is completely sterilized. They're also very honest about anatomy and healing viability, especially with uncommon or complex piercings. My first time in the shop around two years ago, I went for a vertical double conch orbital piercing. They were very straight forward about it being painful, complex, and difficult to heal. All through the healing process Rose was quick to answer my messages on Instagram, and she even went to the trouble of custom ordering me a piece of jewelry for it once it finally healed. Another time I visited the shop to see Mason, with just an idea of wanting something new in one of my ears. He brainstormed with me for a while, and we decided on a faux snug that also turned out absolutely perfect. I recently had neck surgery and have had to take all of my 14 ear piercings in and out multiple times. Logan always takes everything out for me and puts retainers in the holes that need them.

The studio and the piercer's sanitation processes were top notch. The piercing process was as painless as possible and the communication throughout the entire process made it easy and comfortable. Even though I don't live close to this shop and there are other piercing studios nearby to me, I wanted to come to Rainbow Piercing to help me when I had an issue with my naval piercing because I knew I could trust them. Mason helped me again today when I couldn't get my navel piercing put back in. I had left my jewelry out for a week and I couldn't install it into the piercing by myself because the piercing had collapsed and trying to put the a piece in was painful, really tight, and dangerous to do by myself. They walked me through the process and were able to quickly and sanitarily install a piece into my piercing using a tapered tool. Once again, he made me feel very comfortable with knowing what to expect and making it happen as painlessly as possible. I would pick Rainbow Piercing 10 of 10 times and can't wait to get another piercing here!

I made a call during my break and was immediately given an appointment, they were so accommodating and patient with me when I came in and gave me different options for more conservative jewelry for work. And bless both of their souls, they stayed a little bit past closing and didn't pressure me into buying something I wasn't sure would be approved. Also, Cat did an awesome job when I first got my piercings with my boyfriend, he now has a nostril ring and I have a vertical labret which we got done about 3 years ago on our first Christmas together. Both have healed wonderfully, especially given the sensitive area mine is in. And mind you, I STRUGGLED to take my jewelry off, I used gloves, bare *washed* hands, and even a paper towel to try and take off my previous bar and when it was switched, it was so effortless and painless, I almost didn't tell when the retainer went in. Barbella studios is kind enough to let you know when a piercing won't work (was advised that a brow piercing is a no-go but the vertical labret was perfect), humorous when they give you aftercare advice so you'll for sure remember, and most importantly are clean, careful, and mindful for their client's safety and budget. Getting pierced by a professional will range widely in price no matter where you go, but with their experience, advice, cleanliness, and support, just know you can never go wrong with this studio. Sure, it may be a little pricey, but that price comes with a lot of accuracy to ensure your body is pierced properly, and has suitable jewelry for the healing and movement your body goes through. It's worth investing in the best if you want the best for yourself
