I was visiting my brother in Seaside from California and decided to take a leap of faith with my…read moresecond tattoo. I had him call The Lucky Dog for a dealer's choice design with a location of my choosing. While slightly nervous because I knew nothing about the artist, I'm here to tell you that Travis is a gifted artist with a enchanting line style and pop doll collection. Nothing about this tattoo was planned and it somehow ended up matching my first tattoo on my chest. I was blown away by the design when I first saw it, and promptly decided to have it placed on my calf. My only regret is that I can't see it; this tattoo was completed in less than two hours and the attention he put into detail on it in that short time span blew my mind. Travis is affordable, personable, and has years of experience doing this. It's a cash only business; I possibly like this better than my first, and I paid a quarter of the price for it (I'm from California.) I'll be coming back and getting another from him next year, without a doubt. Call and make an appointment because he's quite busy, and walk-ins aren't available. I got lucky with a day-before scheduling.

When we picked Astoria as a travel destination last summer, I started looking up places we may want…read moreto visit and top of the list was a tattoo shop. I did a deep dive into their website and Instagram accounts and Keepsake clearly became our top choice. For the record, their explicit support of #BlackLivesMatter sealed the deal. I knew it was a long shot trying to get on one of their artist's calendars only a few weeks prior, although I decided it was worth trying. I e-mailed both Aaron and Russ. I got an automatic reply from Aaron that he was booked out for like six months, however, Russ responded and while he was already fully booked the week we would be there, he offered to put us on a waitlist just in case someone canceled. Fast forward a week, and still a couple weeks before our trip, and Russ reached out to get more information on what we were looking for. Then he proceeded to go out of his way to bump up some local clients to make room for us. It was my honey's second and my more than second tattoo. Both were in "spicy" spots pain-wise--calf for him, inner upper arm for me. Russ is a seasoned artist and it shows through both his professionalism, as well as his ability to make a painful experience as easy as possible. Tattoo safety aside (which they obviously take very seriously), I really appreciated their attention to COVID safety as well, including masking for artists and clients. Both of our pieces have healed beautifully and we would return in a heartbeat. I am hoping that future travel plans can include more time in Astoria and specifically more time at Keepsake Tattoo. I would just plan farther ahead next time!

I have been wanting it since I was with my ex gf. It was the owner who did the work. Not much shading in the design, but his line work is nice and tight. Only seen better one time in my life, and that was triple the hourly rate. Prices here are low for the quality you get in my opinion. Will definately be back here again. This is about a year later and the tattoo still gets compliments.
