    my first time visiting portland, let alone the fact that i was only around the area for work. i've been wanting to get my second tattoo for a while now and thankfully i managed to get it here. something about getting a tattoo everywhere BUT the actual place i reside in is my thing, supposedly. anyways, i was a simple walk in. stressed enough trying to find a tattoo parlor to come to for a tattoo and i was occupied in engulfing a scoop of ice cream before hunting for places last second. thankfully this place was open longer and later than most parlors which i like. i had read after gaining my tattoo that this seems to be one of the oldest parlors around! how cool is that? anyways it's not too difficult to find the place, two story building so when you step inside you're welcomed by the logo sign and the staircase to bring you up and over to where the magic really begins. patrick is the one who did my work and i was really happy with the results. i didn't have anything in mind and just showed him vague images of inspiration. told him what floral print i wanted etched over my skin and the placement. i have a mole and i was concerned that it was covered not that it mattered that much, but he kept it! i was so happy about that haha. nonetheless, i will admit it was a bit more painful than my first. expected from the placement and the wonderful line work and details. it was totally worth it all. patrick had a sense of humor that was relatable and he was constantly checking up on me too during the process which is appreciated. also, the art work placed on the walls helped as well. heh. thank you patrick again! the tattoo currently healed very well and everyone loved it a lot. i've been receiving compliments during work and outings when people notice it. their prices were reasonable, pieces and artwork fantastically done and the people there were considerate. they'll make your ideas come to life!

    Great tattoo place! Walks in are on a first come first serve basis, so depending on how busy it is that determines wait time. Tattoo artists are super friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend!

    So I got married the day before coming here. We had a beautiful destination wedding with an intimate ceremony on Cannon beach! Friends and family came for the weekend to stay at a place we rented in Oregon city. That's the prelude, we went out the night after the reception with a group of 16 and arrived here to meet Mike about 1 hour before closing. 8 of us we're getting the same simple tattoo. After deciding Mike banged out our little mementos one after another with Percision and Kindness! He had a smile on his face and good banter even after we kept him working an hourn half after close! Check his insta @m_stevens_ ( PS. the group pic was next day at our place)

    Employees are very nice and help you out with anything you need. Walk in process was very easy and the place is very clean. Tattoos were reasonably priced and well done!

    I've been getting tattooed by Jason Graham for quite a while, and am pretty much covered with awesome tattoos. I had been getting tattooed in a sketchy dive shop in seattle for awhile, and was quite frankly almost done with getting tattoos for good. I ended up just walking in to seatramp, with an idea for a tattoo as a gift for someone. We told Jason what she wanted and when we returned a few days later, I was surprised that he had drawn up quite a few versions of the idea we had, and let us pick which one she likied best. 2 years later, and I am still getting happily getting tattoos from Jason! If you are looking for a great tattoo in portland Oregon, Jason Graham is the man to get one from! You must go see him! :) Also, they take walk ins, do appointments, and are open until 2 am. Not to mention it's the oldest shop in Portland! Plus plus plus plus!

    Jared answered the phone when I first called before my trip into Portland to visit a friend,…read morebecause after searching some shops, New Rose seemed like the best! My friend and I were wanting matching plastic vampire teeth tattoos since it'd be Halloween weekend and he was so kind when I told him what we wanted and mentioned he hadn't finished his flash sheet so he'd add in the teeth, (spoiler, they were PERFECT). The day we were planning on coming in was their planned flash day so we knew we had to anticipate a potential wait. The rainy Portland weather was in our favor because, even though we were unable to make our way in at 10:30AM as he recommended, we ventured in at 3PM and still got a spot in line. Jared was great, adding the text I wanted to my flash, and even touching up a small hand/wrist tattoo that was poorly done by someone else in a different state prior. Truly, so thankful he answered the phone that day bc I got a great vibe from him. He was also able to successfully turn my "splotch" knuckle tattoo (my loving nickname for it) to a beautiful black skull that ACTUALLY STAYED PUT (it was the 4th attempt over an old scar I had and he was the only one to successfully have a tattoo stick on it without it looking weird once healed). Since Jared was short on time before an appt, Ali did my friends matching fangs and they both turned out amazingly. Overall, I now fully intend to make the journey from Sacramento to Portland anytime I want something done so I can specifically have him do it or his shop-mate that does phenomenal portrait style flash/tattoos (she was diagonal from us when we were there - blonde long hair and beanie). The shop was super clean, artists were all super friendly, front desk apprentice was easy on the eyes, what's not love? 100/10 could not recommend this place enough!

    I am so glad I found Virginia! I originally told her I…read morewanted a poppy, and she came up with a beautiful drawing of 3 different poppies at different stages of blooming. She didn't know at first but this was for my daughter, and it was the perfect art work to honor her that fit me perfectly. She also did a tribute tattoo on my other arm for my mom that was in perfect fine line that looks like it was hand written in one strike. She was easy to work with, really fun to talk to, and somehow made 4 hours fly by. I didn't think I'd want another tattoo for awhile but I'll definitely be back to Scapegoat to see Virginia soon. Thanks again!

    So glad that I discovered Sarah Carr! She's an all-around exceptional artist to work with, and…read morethat's made me a return customer. Sarah listens closely to what you want and then finds a cute, stylish way to make it work. Her placement is precise, she has a firm yet gentle touch, and her use of color is fantastic (both color theory and saturation). I've never been hip and now I'm getting old, so I'm quite used to feeling anxiously out-of-place in tattoo shops, but Scapegoat is more approachable and welcoming than your average shop. They go out of their way to offer water, space heaters, heating pads, masks, or whatever else might make you feel most comfortable. The artists seem to support and treat each other kindly. The bathroom is a work of art. Everything is clean. It's easy to find unmetered parking a couple blocks away. And this is a vegan business to boot! I couldn't ask for more.

    I had 8 tattoos before I booked my appointment with Toby, and this was by far the best experience…read moreI've had! He's super laid back, and genuinely just a great human being. Conversation flowed easily and he had a killer music playlist going. Even his partner Hanam was a great guy and seemed vested in the quality of the work being done! Where he really shines, however, is his amazing attention to detail and the incredible quality of his art. I've had this tattoo planned for a long time and he seriously nailed it! Blew every expectation I had for it completely out of the water! Every small detail pops and the color and shading came out amazing! Seriously can't recommend this shop and Toby's artistic ability enough!!

    Update: Toby and Nisha had their attorney send me a very aggressive and threatening letter in an…read moreattempt to bully me into removing my review. I made the terrible decision to be tattooed by Toby. I went in to start on a full sleeve, although it wasn't technically a full sleeve but a 3/4 sleeve. I have a tattoo on my upper arm that takes up half of my upper arm. During my 1st appointment we discussed that we are going to keep and incorporate that one. At my 1st appointment Toby told me that it would take 3 sessions since it wouldn't be an actual full sleeve. I paid for a full day session. He told me at my 1st appt that the stop time will be once I tap out. Our first session he ended early and said that his kids were sick. He specifically told me that our next session won't be the same. He also said our next session wouldn't take as long to get started. I went back in for my 2nd session yesterday at 10am. He showed up late like he did for our 1st appt. It wasn't until about 11am that he started drawing on me. It took him about 4 hours to draw on me. Keep in mind we haven't even started on my upper arm. He was drawing on my lower arm. Finally by 3pm we get started tattooing. The table wasn't working properly so he had to reset up a new one. Then some random person walks in looking for a tattoo. He stopped tattooing me to go chat with the person. Then throughout my entire session he purposely inflicts maximum pain. He seems to think that I don't have any large or decent pieces. I have my entire back done. I also have portraits and pieces on my legs. I have good quality work in those areas. I only mentioned to him that I wanted my back covered up, but because I don't like it anymore and don't have those beliefs anymore. It's not due to the quality. The tattoos that he was starting to cover on my arm are much older tattoos that I got when I was younger. Based off of that I suppose he thinks I don't know any better. My ex is also a tattoo artist so I understand needle groupings, heavy hands vs light hands, dry wipe vs wet wipe etc. Throughout my entire session he never finished a single area. He jumps from area to area throughout the entire process. He would randomly jump from my wrist, elbow, side of arm, just all over the place. He opens up the area and works on it for a while, then moves to another area for like 20min or so, then moves back to the area he opened up. He inflicts serious pain. I hinted to him several times that each time you do that it hurts much worse. He never listened and continued to do it. I told him from the start that I wanted to work in a particular area first. He didn't listen. He is super heavy handed intentionally. He dry wipes with a paper towel the whole time. He inflicts maximum pain to attempt to get you to tap early. At the very start of our 2nd session after the marker was drawn on, I flat out asked him will you be able to finish this today to which he yes. By about 10pm he said we should call it a night. I literally only had maybe 1/2 of a half sleeve. There was so much work to complete still. I told him no I want to keep going. He didn't want to but I was persistent. So we get back to tattooing. I asked him flat out why did you tell me that we would have this finished today if that isn't the case. He said well there are a lot of factors like the way a client takes pain. I told him he put me in a ton of pain but I never once stopped him so what do you mean. I told him I feel lied to, taken advantage of, and just how unhappy I was by this and that I won't be continuing with him. I was planning on getting 2 full sleeves, full chest piece, and a cover up on my entire back. I told him you literally told me that for a full day session that it means we stop once I tap out. He got extremely combative. He said that in the fine print says he only tattoos 7 hrs max. I said why did you lie to me then? He ended up calling me an asshole and threatened to stop my work mid session to leave it. He said it's his right to do so. I said that I'd leave a review about this and he said that's "thats fine, I don't give a f". I'm not sure if he ended up texting his family or people or what. But suddenly around midnight all his people showed up at the tattoo studio I guess to try to intimidate me. I paid $ 3,225 in total and I don't have a completed half sleeve. I don't even have a single section of my arm that is complete due to him jumping around constantly. Literally not even one single area of this "half sleeve" is completed. During our argument he scoffed at me and was the mentality of how dare you .. but he admitted flat out a full sleeve is 5 grand. I said okay and I've paid over 3 grand now and I don't even have a completed half sleeve. He refuses to take accountability. He is a very selfish mentality, a liar, and he will gaslight you the entire time. He pretends to be a nice person but he is absolutely not. He takes advantage of people and rips them off.
