David Flores Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I agree with everyone's suggestions from Portland. I really like all those shops and have got tatttooed in most of them, but a couple shops I think people sleep on are Imperial Tattoo, Todd J does some clean traditional and I have seen Josiah Laughlin turn out some pretty killer Japanese pieces. Blacklist Tattoo, Eli and Tim do great stuff and Tron is working there from NYC now also Sean Lanusse at Infinity Tattoo Joe Shit, else and chrislj54 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3219-shops-in-the-pacific-northwest/?page=2#findComment-56192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Dailey Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Matt Arriola's tattoos look unreal from the tiny Instagram pictures of them, I would love to get tattooed by him. Matt is an amazing artist and a genuinely great person. One of the best human beings I've met. That being said, the Liberty crew is all around a great group of people and I reccomend everyone go check out that shop... Though being that I live in Florida, I cannot assume many of the people I make that suggestion to actually follow through...

rozone Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) You moved already? I'm in the process of moving currently. I flew out to SF to meet up with my girlfriend (got tattooed by Nick Rodin) and we rented a car and are spending two weeks driving up the coast on our way back to Vancouver. We drove by Scapegoat while in Portland so I stopped in to check it out and got tattooed the next day. It's been an amazing road trip so far and a great way to transition into life on the west coast.

Hands On Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I highly suggest dropping by the U-district (in Seattle) to check out Liberty, Slave to the Needle, and grab a Dick's burger.

el twe Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Although I haven't been in myself (I'm planning on getting some work done in the near future), my friends have spent a fair amount of time at Fortune Tattoo (Portland) with Olivia Britz. I've started following her work and I'm pretty impressed. Might be worth a stop for you.

I've started following her work and I'm pretty impressed. Might be worth a stop for you. I have kind of become a fan of her stuff lately as well. I have met her a few times, but never put two and two together who she was till a convention last year I attended. I would get tattooed by her or Ms Mikki any day. - - - Updated - - - I can't stress enough if someone who wants a piece of tattoo history seek out Dave Lum for a tattoo, he has threatened to quit for some time now, but still seems to be willing to put on tattoos for now. His stuff is as good as ever and he is forty five min drive outside of Portland.

Pleadco Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Matt Cowell out of House of Tattoo in Tacoma. He's an awesome guy and his work just keeps getting better and better :). A jack of all trades, he's done great black and grey, bio mechanical, and is doing a dragon 3/4 sleeve on me at the moment. By the way folks, thanks for all of the great links to shops. It's a lazy Saturday morning in the ambulance and I'm having a nerdgasm whilst anticipating visiting some of them.

Pleadco Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Driving back up through Oregon on tuesday, going to try to stop by a couple of shops on the way. I've been been scrolling back through the thread and it's awesome how many good shops are in that area.

Pleadco Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Planning on visiting Rob » Black & Blue Tattoo in Victoria, BC in the next couple of months. I am a huge fan of Rob Noseworthy's work in particular. Instagram I also recently visited Woodwork Tattoo Gallery in poulsbo, wa. They were super nice, a great shop , and a good variety of artists.

Instagram Black and Blue is up-island in Nanaimo, I believe. Rob Noseworthy does indeed do great tattoos. A friend of mine has a great tattoo from Bobby Tripp who works there, and I've heard nothing but good things about Bobby as a person as well. Steve Moore also tattoos in or around Nanaimo, I assume at some kind of private studio, and he's amazing. In a kind of similar style, there's also Dave Knight's shop, Second Street Tattoo in Sidney, BC. Dave tattooed at PSC Tattoo in Montreal for years and moved out west a couple of years ago. He does really great work.

Pleadco Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah, Steve is fricking amazing. Getmoretattoos :) I'm at a cross roads now where I feel the need to seriously consider who I want to do a back piece before I move forward with anything else. There is a short list of people I'm considering. James Tex, Damien Robertson, Rob Noseworthy, and Curtis Burgess. There are so many amazing artists out there, and I love pretty much every style. It's just been a challenge to figure What fits me the best. There are worse problems to have.

Pleadco Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I certainly would be honored if any of those artists wanted to work together (Rob and James recently did a collaboration). I am curious at how the dynamic would work. That being said, I will satiate myself by visiting shops, meeting awesome folks, and attempting to widen my horizons.
