Eagle done by Cole from his flash book
Morgan-Emilee A.

Second time at this shop! It's going to be a go to stop every time I'm traveling and in town. Came last time for a Friday the 13th flash day and that was the first time I met Cole. I get so many compliments on my cat tattoo he did. I had to come back and get more tattoos. The shop is always welcoming and very clean. The work here by every artist is solid. If you're looking for a shop or an artist this would be my top choice in the area!

The BEST experience! Ricky at the customer service front end was exceptional! My artist was Cody and the detail and work was immaculate! Also he worked in a re work from a prior tat from another state. My daughter got her first tattoo from Ben and he made her SO comfortable. Her boyfriend got his first tattoo thing piece from Damien and he was VERY impressed! I cannot tell you how impressed we are!

My cousin recommended me to Cody at Port City, and I wanted a matching tattoo with my mom. We showed up and the shop was really mellow , chill and comfortable. Cody helped us figure out the right sizing and placement. It was my mom's first real tattoo and he was super helpful and patient with us. He got them both done in under 3 hours and was hilarious and fun, making jokes with us the whole time. Thanks so much, they look great. I couldn't be happier with the result, We appreciate you Cody!

Ben smith (@benson_dunkle) took me as a walk-in 30 minutes before closing and helped me out with a few cover up tattoos from my high school 'stick and poke' era He was very calming (I was super anxious) and we breezed right through it, very light hands and some cool African terminator art to boot

Unfinished leg piece by Eli

If you want a good quality tattoo! This is the shop you want to go to! I got my first and all tattoos here! The artists are super cool.. Eli has done all my tatts and they still look amazing after 15+ years. Check em out you won't be disappointed with their work!

Wwnt to Santa Ana to see Beto. Great shop. It was a very comfortable environment. Beto was easy to work with and he did an awesome job with my tattoo. It was my first one and he gave me exactly what I wanted. We went back and forth on the design until it was perfect, and it turned out better than I expected. Highly recommend.​

COLE STREM! Amazing human and great artist. He was able to bring my dream piece to life. This location is bad*** and super inviting. 1000000/10

If you're looking for a great experience I'd alway pick Cole Strem. He has a very welcoming energy about him.

Thanks Cole!!! I feel very lucky for stumbling across you. You're a very nice and welcoming person. You're also very passionate about what you do which is inspiring to see. My tattoo is everything I wanted and more!

I came here spontaneously this past month for a tattoo to celebrate my 30th birthday. I didn't make an appointment & just showed up a little before they opened. I chose to go with a tattoo of the poppy flower since it resembles my birth flower. I had the pleasure of getting Eric as my tattoo artist. Considering that it was my very first tattoo, I was a little nervous. Eric was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He also gave me a great tip on where I should place my tattoo. The process took about an hour. The sketch that he had did not include shading or as much details on the leaves. However, after I told him that id like a little more details and shading, he did just that! It didn't hurt and the process was easy. They did mention that they would email over the after care procedures...however, I never received it. But eric did briefly go over it with me.

Cole did an amazing job with our "sisters" tattoos. He is so friendly, kind and professional. This was my first tattoo and Cole made me feel very comfortable. The studio was beautiful, clean and comfortable. I'm ready for my next one!

I have been getting tattooed here for the past two years. I get my ink done by Frankie and have always had the best experience in terms of professionalism and cleanliness in the shop. Not to mention every artist in there is amazing and they do walk ins also. Just recently got some work done and am always impressed, thank you guys!!!!

Looks way better is person, I got exactly what I requested. It healed perfectly.
Alex A.

Randomly walked into the shop with out an appointment. My best friend and I were looking to get a small tat and we found this shop a long our way home. We were helped right away, all their work is amazing! I can definitely see myself coming back to the shop for more work.

Ben masterfully recovered a tattoo with this Celtic Cross. The piece was done five days ago and healing nicely.

I recently had my first two appointments with Michael after being referred to him by family members…read morehe's tattooed. Their tattoos always looked clean, professional, and creative, so I felt confident booking with him. For my first tattoo, Michael was able to take me as a walk-in, which I really appreciated. Even though I didn't have an appointment, I never felt rushed. I explained what I wanted verbally, and he immediately sketched up a design that was exactly what I had in mind. From start to finish, I was tattooed in less than an hour. It's been a few weeks now, and it has healed beautifully. I went back for a second tattoo, a small rib piece. I had sent him the font I liked beforehand, and when I got there, he whipped up a few size suggestions to help me choose what looked best. He took the time to make sure everything was spelled correctly and placed exactly the way I wanted before we started. Both experiences have been fantastic. Michael is professional, clean, efficient, and genuinely cares about the quality of his work. His workstation was spotless, and for my rib tattoo, he even used a clean drape on the bed to make sure I was comfortable while lying on my side. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, creative, detail-oriented, and respectful of your time, I highly recommend Michael. I've had two great experiences with him, and I'll definitely be working with him again on

I love my tattoos and I'm grateful for how my artist did my work and really took the time to make the pieces come to life.

You know a space is an entire vibe when you don't even come in as a client, but just to tag along…read morewith your friend who's getting a tattoo. ​From the moment you cross the threshold, Danielle and her crew's radiant energy absorbs you. The space is friendly, warm, queer, witchy, and an entire fucking vibe. It was like hanging out at your homegirl's crib eating snacks and talking about anything from relationships to life goals, all while watching Megan Thee Stallion videos. Real hot girl shit! ​I also believe that the universe perfectly aligns you with like-minded people and situations, no matter what part of your life journey you're currently trekking through. After a series of signs telling me to start digging into my social media bag, this studio further reaffirmed that I need to step out of my comfort zone and start making content--especially since I basically walked into a masterclass on content creation. They were shooting vids for their different socials, and I gained such invaluable information from the crew. I left feeling so fulfilled and had the same dopamine rush as if I were the one under the tattoo needle. I knew I was meant to be in that space at that exact time. ​My friend's tat came out so bomb! I got to sit up close throughout the entire process, and we all laughed and shared experiences the whole time. Needless to say, when I am ready for my next tattoo, I will not hesitate to book here.

Absolutely love this space & the artists who work there! Cassidy did an amazing job on my tattoo…read moreand I absolutely will be coming back to get all my other pieces done by her.
