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.

On the day of, there were some minor changes to the design (at her suggestion) that she could make on the spot. Her design was *exactly* what I was looking for. The tattoo itself turned out far better than I envisioned. Laura was able to implement a design that required a lot of skill, with high detail, shading, and lots of very straight lines. As a newbie to tattoos, I wasn't sure what to expect. Laura and Icon made the experience feel safe, very professional, and fun. I'm so pleased with the tattoo. Thank you so much!

I was really wanting a new tattoo but hadn't found my place yet after we moved here. I have some…read moreideas of pieces I wanted but didn't want to commit just yet....if that makes any sense. My husband and I had passed this shop a few times and liked the way it looked. We briefly looked online at the artist's work on Wednesday and decided the style did suit us best. We headed to the shop, no appointment and thought let's see what happens. We walked in, greeted by a couple people inside and I told him I wanted a rose tattoo on my forearm, I didn't have an appointment. He went to the back to get the tattoo artist, Jessica, and we talked. It was easy since it wasn't this huge piece, just a rose. She drew one up, and I noticed a piece on the wall that I loved. I mentioned it to her when she came back, and it turned out to be hers! She drew a beautiful rose, no stem. I wanted olive colored leaves and we went with the two-toned colored rose and took just about an hour. I am so in love with the finished product, I will definitely be back to see her for my next piece.

Quinn was very kind, she offered to get us in later in the day but it didn't work with our schedule of events, so we scheduled for the following day. We sent her what we wanted and she drew it up - what she drew up was even better than the reference photo I had sent her, I fell in love immediately. She was very efficient and did an amazing job with both mine and my friend's tattoos, and she was pleasant to chat with. Next time we make a trip to Portland we will definitely be looking to get another tattoo here!

I knew how the studio presents itself on social media and I have to say it was BEYOND amazing. It…read moredoesn't feel, sound, or look like a tattoo studio. Everything is comfortable, visually appealing. Soft. And the music was great with an incredible mix. Maria greeted me when I walked in and said Parker would be right out. They were both BEYOND kind. Just SO gentle, soft and easygoing. Thoughtful. Parker reviewed my design and got on to printing the stencils. We spent a bit of time choosing size and placement. And AS you've seen on social media, if you follow Parker & Maria & Midnight Tattoo, PLACEMENT is one of the specialties. They have an EYE for beauty and for how to place a tattoo on each body. How to make it flow and look natural and stand out and BE the piece that each client deserves. I was wowed by what Parker did, and hand drew around my clavicle tattoos, in order to not cover or distract from them. I was nervous AF guys. I have a LOT of tattoos. Over 30. So I have sat for tattoos. But never have I ever experienced a tattoo like this. So we got set and ready and Maria's client was ready first, and getting a beautiful rib piece. I was BLOWN away by the tattoo guns they use. They're wireless and QUIET. Like quieter than my electric toothbrush y'all. This is IMMEDIATELY a stress reducer for me. I did NOT realize how much that LOUD buzzing of old school tattoo needles STRESSES me out. But these were nothing like it. Another bonus. Next up was me. Parker got to work, I had 4 CBD gummies that I had brought, but they were the Wyld brand, which Midnight Tattoo has for sale so feel free to bring or buy ;) I also brought a CBD beverage and chugged that. At about an hour in, I was struggling to stay awake between the lack of pain and the grey day and being comfy. So I figured I would take a pee break and then let myself fall asleep. When I came back, I started dozing again and about 30 minutes later I was feeling a bit spicy. So the next 90 minutes of the tattoo were much spicier than the first 90. I have to add that Parker tattoos unlike ANY other artist I have ever had tattoo me. She kept stepping back to look at her shading and how it looked from different angles. Actually really invested in what she out on my body. And proud of what she was doing. Not seeing me as "just another tattoo" but a person. Since it was time to move onto my right side, I went for a bathroom break. Mind you, I got in there and thought okay I do nervous pee, is this stress? And my jaw and neck were hurting because I was tensing up SO much. Like I did during my first labor and delivery lol. But I am one of those people "all go no quit" and "never give up." So I was mentally preparing to hunker down for 3 more hours. Parker said "okay let's talk about the other side." Then she told me she sensed that I was feeling kind of overwhelmed and that the tattoo had gotten pretty spicy. I said oh totally. Then she said "in my experience I think we should do the right side on a separate appointment so that you can be fresh and not already in a lot of pain." I said "oh my right side is good!" And she explained to me that often a mirrored tattoo will give the client MORE pain on the second side. And that if we had to stop, instead of me having a full outline, because Parker doesn't outline and then shade, she sort of "block" tattoos. That said, again my stubborn and OCD and driven self said NAH I can push through. And she said, "I don't want you to HAVE to push through. I think that waiting IS the best decision. If we tattoo you and your body rises to a certain level of pain response then the ink will actually reject and you'll just start bleeding. And that could also be really traumatic and I don't want thay for you." (Please know I'm paraphrasing I don't have a recording of our actual conversation!) I could tell how genuinely concerned she was for MY body and MY experience. So we booked a couple of weeks out to finish. I was initially REALLY upset with myself, not Parker, because I have always had that mentality that if I don't finish something or don't DO what is expected that I failed. And I was super mad at myself. But after a few days of staring at this beautiful artwork on my chest I'm so thankful Parker asked me to come back. And I fully plan to book my next tattoo when I do!! She and Maria are BOTH so incredibly talented but also kind, humble, empathetic, and they ACTUALLY care deeply for the experience the client has with them and the tattoo. THANK you Parker for the most beautiful art ever and BOTH you and Maria for making such a peaceful and safe space to experience a tattoo. Random side note - I was super bummed at first, not being able to bring a friend or anyone with me to my appointment, but I actually LOVE that you currently don't allow it. It feels more inclusive, and safer and less stressful and I didn't expect that. I expected the opposite. I LOVE my tattoo and the experience. THANK YOU!!

I've been following her for a while on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her style and flash designs. Luckily they had an open spot on a day I was visiting the area so I quickly snatched it and the rest is history. The tattoo itself... STUNNING. It's my largest one yet and took a little over 2 hours to complete. Abigail made sure I was comfortable the entire time and sent me home with detailed after-care instructions (FYI -- they have after-care kits for sale in the studio for easy access!). Now the studio... words cannot begin to describe how cool the studio is. The artists here pride themselves on creating a space that is safe and welcoming, understanding that getting tattoos is a different experience for everyone and can often be anxiety-inducing. While the space was amazing, the professionalism and care I received from the artists was even better. I cannot wait to visit again and book another appointment :)
