Fantastic experience: Jamison was excellent. Patient, detailed and very knowledgeable. She guided us through the whole process. We love our delicate cute tattoos! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Kendalyn was absolutely amazing. My best friend and I were walk-ins and they got us in their chair as soon as they possibly could. I gave Kendalyn 5 different reference images, told her what my vision was, and she absolutely nailed it with the end result. She was beyond amazing. My best friend and I got sentimental tattoos and she executed it beyond my vision. She was gentle and light handed, made sure I was okay through out the session, and made me feel extremely comfortable. It was a welcoming environment & the sweetest artists! I will absolutely be back.

Fantastic experience: I had the most perfect experience here!!! Ace was the sweetest person ever and they are so unbelievably talented. It was my first tattoo and I could not have had a better time. Ace was so helpful in giving me advice and walking me through every step they were doing, while making sure i was comfortable the whole time. I came in so nervous and the staff were so incredible in reassuring me. Ace was also the best person to talk to they are the coolest. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo done here, this is ur sign. U will not regret it!!!! Oh and also they have plants growing all throughout the ceiling its insanely awesome.

Fantastic experience: Felix at Birdhouse Tattoo did an incredible job on my tattoo! We worked together to create the design, and he was patient through all my tweaks and suggestions until it was just perfect. We did black line and color, and when the colors didn't quite heal the way I wanted, he did a touch up for me for free. I'm so happy with the way it's healed now!

Fantastic experience: Liz is amazing, they are a fantastic artist and was very willing to make adjustments for me. They are very considerate and attentive any sane person should book with them!

Fantastic experience: Nic is by far one of the best tattoo artist I’ve ever worked with (I’ve seen a lot) Not only does they’re work speak for itself. But they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and heard throughout my whole appointment. They have the best vibes and I don’t mind sitting with them for 2/3 hours for some killer pieces!

Janette Bucio Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jamison is such a sweet artist! She made sure I was comfortable throughout my whole process, never felt more comfortable with an artist and she did a great job on my tattoo!!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience getting my flash tattoo from Nic Mackin. They were on time, very professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I would highly recommend Nic to everyone!

Audrey Faber Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I got my very first tattoo from Mayra today, and it was such a great experience. I felt really comfortable and it didn’t even hurt. Mayra was really kind and answered all of my dumb questions and really put me at ease for my first tattoo. If I ever get another, I will - without question - go back to her.

Sara Gordon Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Got a Friday the 13th tattoo today and the whole experience was so nice! Mayra was an absolute jem of a human and my tattoo turned out beautifully. I can't wait to come back and get more work done!

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo with Mitch! I love how it turned out and felt comfortable during the process. I had a great time talking with Mitch as well and I'd love to go to Birdhouse again!

Kai Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here a few weeks ago with artist Nic Mackin, and it was one of my best experiences with body modification. I now have three small manta rays on my ribs, and I'm absolutely in love with them. I've only gotten piercings before, so my experiences with tattoos was limited at best, and I was anxious, but Nic was incredible to work with. I had a custom design in mind and they did an excellent job translating it to paper, and ultimately, my skin. They were so reassuring during the tattoo itself, and made sure I understood exactly what was happening at each step in the process. They knew exactly when to offer advice and their opinions and when to step away, and I really appreciate their help with the exact placement of my tattoo. I couldn't be happier with it, and if you're looking for an artist, I would 100% recommend Nic!

Ari Baleine Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: All the rumors are true. This place is adorable and the artists are so talented! I came for the Friday the 13th event and got a cute little guy. Nic was so friendly & soothing. They reminded me to advocate for myself and not say “yes” until i was ready. i will definitely be back!

Luiza Szabo Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Nic Mackin is one of the most talented and kind artists I have ever met!

Michael Gilbert Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Nic Mackin did a series of tattoos across my shoulders, chest, and torso and was awesome to work with. They're thoughtful with guidance and feedback, precise in design and execution, and have a kind and confident vibe when doing work. I brought a conceptual design and they helped me to refine it and work out scale and placement in a way that massively improved the final outcome. I'll be back!

Carson Beguelin Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to birdhouse tattoo 3 times now. I’ve had an amazing experience all 3 times. Dre (@freckled.roses) is so inviting, accommodation, and so talented I love the art they have done for me! The shop is so cute, well decorated, clean, and I love all the plants. I have an upcoming appointment with Nic (@mackinsmind) I love the flash they have released really cute floral line work. The pricing varied between artists but it has been affordable for me. This is my go to shop in Portland and I intend to continue coming here!

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue, but I’m grateful I waited to write it. I’ve now had this beautiful piece of artwork on my body for 5 months. I don’t have many tattoos, and this one was both my largest and most visually striking — and truly life-changing. I had read that tattoos can help people reclaim their power and feel more at home in their bodies. That is exactly what this tattoo did for me. The experience I had with Nic Mackin is something I will always treasure. Their consultations make you feel safe, heard, and genuinely important. On a personal note, Nic is a truly beautiful human being. Thank you Nic for surrounding me with unconditional, judgment-free, beautiful energy. Thank you for the confidence you have in your artwork. I never once hesitated to trust your guidance. You are incredibly talented, and your beautiful soul radiates through every one of your masterpieces. I will never forget this experience — not only because it’s tattooed on my arm forever, but because it’s such a gift to witness someone flourish in their art and their career.

Spencer Greenley Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The vibes are immaculate and the people are so friendly. There have so many artists you’re bound to find one who fits your style. I got my first big piece from Nic Mackin, and they did such a great job! I will be trusting them with a full leg sleeve, and I can’t wait to get more tattoos from Nic. Can’t recommend Birdhouse and Nic enough!

Ally Pagel Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I got a piece done by Nic Mackin in September and it is truly my favorite tattoo I have! The fine line work is amazing and their ability to adapt my vision to fit around other pieces I previously had was awesome! They are so personable and make your experience in the shop amazing! I will definitely be back to get another tattoo from Nic in the future!!

Claira Brown Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I went to Nic Mackin and they were the best!! They did my entire lower back piece and it turned out better than I ever could have hoped for! It was worth every penny. They stayed late to get the design out in our shading session and had a very light hand as well! I’m always loving their new flash as well. What a great tattoo studio filled with awesome people :)

Dan White Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had always wanted a tattoo, but I waited for quite some time until I could find the right artist. I searched through so many profiles and shops until I found Nic Makin! They had such an amazing portfolio across multiple styles, but I was really drawn to their suminagashi pieces that incorporated nature. I knew I had found the artist I could trust with my garden sleeve. They were so supportive after I booked the initial appointment while listening to my overall plan, and they seemed genuinely excited after talking it all out. I told Nic I trusted them completely and they knocked the first piece out of the park. I’ve already got the second appointment on the books and cannot wait to be able to show off Nic’s amazing work to the world.

Aubrey Valadez Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Got a lovely tattoo and will definitely be back for more. Several of our family members got tattoos here and they all turned out great.

Nico King Published on Google 3 months ago

They talked me through the whole process so well. They really helped me achieve just want I wanted. Could not recommend enough! Will totally go back to them.

Sarah Farson Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Michelle L. was my tattoo artist and she was amazing! She designed 3 beautiful birds for my tattoo, exactly as I pictured them and they are perfect. They are very special to me and I’m so glad that now I have some of her artwork. She is wonderfully talented and made the entire experience fun and comfortable. I highly recommend you ask for Michelle!

Suna-May Fantomu Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Just went in this last Saturday and got this adorable flash piece from Felix ( @felixtattoospdx ) and couldn’t be more stoked. He was knowledgeable, kind, fast and detail oriented! He answered all of my questions, offered me advice on healing, let me know to hit him up if I had problems and made great conversation about my worm while I got him! Will definitely be going back here!!

Em D Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jamison! I love my 2 tattoos she did for me. She is very intentional and friendly! Glow up ✨

Llake Willow Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best, most welcoming and fun vibe I've ever experienced in a tattoo shop. Truly have never felt more comfortable in any other shop. Alia Bird's work is always a triumph. She's unbelievably talented and such a beautiful human to hang with. I've gotten a lot of tattoos from her over the last 7ish years and the ones by her have all healed beautifully. She so reliably exceeds expectations every time I get a tattoo from her. And the other people working in Birdhouse are soo cool! I had such a wonderful time looking around at all the artists interacting with clients and each other. Andrew, in particular, was extremely fun to talk to. If you're a Lord Of The Rings fan, he's the best person you'll ever meet to talk to about it. Such an unforgettable place in the best way possible!

Laurel S Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Mayra absolutely blessed me <3 Vibes were high all day and the whole staff is super fun! I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Ashley La Rue Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Got my first (picture attached) and now working on second tattoo here. Super kind, super professional, awesome people. I was so nervous walking in for the first and Sarah made it such an easy process and walked me through everything, stenciling, comfort during, and after care. Now, I'm working with Astro Ally on a piece that looks AMAZING even after just one session and super excited to see it finished. Can't recommend enough, especially as someone who was timid for so long.

Starr Edge Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Alia is the best! I'm so happy with her work. Can't say enough about how awesome this place is.

Lila Leue Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing. The most wonderful experience. Andrew Baker was my tattoo artist and if I ever get a tattoo again. I will absolutely be going to back to work with him. He made the whole experience extremely relaxing. He was SO accommodating and made it so un painful. It was my first tattoo and I couldn’t be more grateful. 10/10 would recommend him and go back. The tattoo was absolutely beautiful and came out better then I could have ever imagined

Kathryn Unger Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I worked with Traeger today for a custom piece that was very special and important to me. He did an amazing job and I’m in love with my new tattoo!

Andrew Clark Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Right when I walked in I could tell this wasn’t your ordinary tattoo shop. The place is bright and vibrant with plants everywhere the air inside made me feel at ease immediately. Instead of gloomy dark shops I’m use to this place is full of life and love. Thank you for taking the time to create the tattoo I’ve always dreamt about!!! Every time I look at it I smile. Best experience ever!!!

Fantastic experience: We had the whole family come in and get tattoos. Fantastic experience. Super clean and well organized.

Jorji Demaret Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: me and my wife were in Portland for a couple weeks visiting family. my wife's been out west before but it was my first time. we spent literally the whole trip with family and the day before we left we randomly had some free time and someway somehow we landed on getting tattoos lol. my wife just got her first tattoo a year ago to the day, and was ready to add her next bit. I have a decent amount of tattoos so I was more concerned with finding a shop that would be great for her and I'd figure out my own stuff. this shop deserves every 5 star it gets. first off it's beautiful, and secondly everyone was super accommodating. they took us as walk-ins. electric.kitten (Danielle) had my wife and drew my wife's design up right then and took her vague description and made exactly what my wife wanted. I chose a flash of a pinup boy but unfortunately the artist that owned that design was booked up. I was bummed because he was the artists that focuses more on my style so it meant I wouldn't get tattooed. but the shop owner came up to me and asked me to describe what I wanted and he called historic tattoo which is the like holy land of ameri trad in that area. they said yeah send em over! so lil 5 min drive later I was getting my head tattooed as a walk in at a new shop all because of the kindness and accomodations of birdhouse tattoo. my wife and I have made plans to make it tradition to visit family and stop by the shops to get some work added once a year. I've never planned tattoos that involve a flight and thousands of miles lol but this place is something special

Kat Selah Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: What an amazing and delightful experience! My sister brought me and my mom to Birdhouse, a shop I’ve wanted to check out forever. It was my mom’s first tattoo, and Alia could not have been lovelier, more gentle, or more accommodating. Her work is stunning! The shop is so beautiful too, like being in a fancy coffee shop or spa. We can’t wait to come back for more tats from Alia!

candi Bielman Published on Google 5 months ago

Ray Gibbs Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Alia did an AMAZING job fusing 2 flash pieces into a master work of art. They were so accommodating and helpful offering placement and sizing suggestions to make sure my tattoo stood the rest of time. She was patient, so comfy to chat with, and I felt totally comfortable to ask for a little quiet when It got painful. The shop itself is gorgeous and comfy! Im already trying to book my next tattoo with them!!! Couldn't recommend Alia enough ️✨

Fantastic experience: I got a custom tattoo done with Mayra and it was AWESOME! She was extremely helpful, patient, flexible, and kind in helping draw my own tattoo that I felt confident in. Especially it being my first one EVER! And the entire tattooing process was easy peasy especially because she was so easy to talk to! Amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Mayra

Mike Harris Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about this studio and my artist, Jamison. This was my second tattoo since my first 10 years ago. My piece had the potential to be fairly complex, and I was little concerned about how it might turn out. But Jamison expertly guided my through the design process, exhibited admirable patience while we trial-and-errored our way to finding the best placement, and absolutely nailed the execution. While lying on the table for 5 hours near the main door, I got to see other clients, most of them walk-ins, come in and get top quality customer service. The studio is welcoming, and the staff all friendly and genuine.

Racheal Boehm Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sarah Bailey is amazing to work with, super helpful, knowledgeable, and know what questions to ask to make sure your dream is perfect. Came up with several designs until I got what I wanted. Lovely location, amiable staff, completely recommend

JD Zeaux Published on Google 7 months ago

Negative experience: Disastrous communication. Sent in a request form almost a month ago to get a tattoo, and never heard anything back. When I called, someone named Chris was very nice and offered to get my ask squared away. Texted to get my name and email and said they would get to work on it “in 30 minutes” when they were in front of their computer. Never heard anything after that and it’s been several days. I frankly don’t understand how people get appointments booked here; I had several very good friends of mine recommend this spot. I’m disappointed.

Tim Horan Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great environment for a tattoo. Staff are very nice. Jamison was my artist and she did a great job. Thanks to everyone. When I return to Portland Jamison will be the artist I use for another botanical tattoo.

Guinievere Olander Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Kendalyn was so kind and affirming when I came in for a walk-in appointment. I've had some bad tattoo experiences before but she, and everyone I talked to at Birdhouse Tattoo, made feel so at ease. Honorable mention to Derek for being so kind and friendly, and to Chris who helped me navigate the walk-in process. I will be coming back for sure!

Erin Balbier Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: We had the best tattoo experience with Nic. They helped design custom pieces that mirror each other, and did an amazing job with the art placement, the tattooing, and generally making us feel well taken care of. I will definitely come back for any future work.

Dan Avritt Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo and Nic was amazing!!! They made sure I had all the information I needed about the entire process. I was nervous going in but after speaking with Nic and feeling the first lines happen I was at ease. It was so smooth that I didn’t need any breaks. I got a beautiful piece that holds a lot of emotion for me. It’s also a statement piece.

Fantastic experience: Nic was so incredible all around! I can’t stress enough how comfortable, respected and heard I felt throughout the whole process. I came in for a walk in but had a kind of complex idea, and Nic was super flexible and we came up with a more reasonable plan for the day. I’m super happy with how their work came out and how they made a conscious effort to make sure this piece meshes well with my other ones. The space was so cute too!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a good tattoo shop - you must come here!!! My friend and I had a walk in and were assisted right away. We worked with Mitchell & he was fantastic through the whole process. He made us feel very safe and welcome, great conversationalist & the tattoos turned out incredible!!! The shop is covered in plants and has such a nice vibe. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and we were even provided snacks and a drink!! Would highly highly recommend seeing Mitchell for your tattoo needs! Thanks Birdhouse for the incredible visit :)

Fantastic experience: I visited Birdhouse on a recent trip to Portland and I had a general idea what I wanted. After hearing the concept Gabe pointed me to Kendalynn’s work which was a great fit. They were able to fit me in the next day and were so patient to work with me to perfect each element of the design. They have beautiful energy and I’m grateful to wear their art. Highly recommended for fine line art and collaborative design approach.

Zach Babb Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: This was the best tattoo experience my wife and I have ever had. My wife suggested getting tattoos for date night, and sent me this shop. Looking at the pics, I was like, "this place looks a lot nicer than the places I used to frequent on Powell..." It did not disappoint. Our artist Astor was fantastic. She was professional and personable, her work was awesome, and was actually appreciative of our business. This latter point has not always been the case for my wife and I's body art journies. The space was immaculate, well-lit, and adorned with plants like something on r/cozyplaces. We were greeted by everybody who was free, and they all made sure we were attended to. Like the 40-something dad I am, I called them three hours or so before they opened, and to my astonishment the owner texted me back. They immediately took my request, and arranged a same-day appointment, and checked in to make sure things were going as expected. By the end we were all laughing about how awesome tattoos are like some Portland version of people who've just finished a tough mudder run. 12/10 go get your next tattoo here.

Sophia Richards Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had the best experience getting my first tattoo, the walk in process was superrrr easy and was matched with an artist right away (get there early) my artist was Liz and they were so so so kind and welcoming. Not only was it my first tattoo but also a memorial tattoo for my late childhood pet. So glad I had it done by such a talented artist! Will definitely be coming back.

Tory Snopl Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with multiple artists at birdhouse. Each experience has been amazing. I really appreciate the individual talent of each artist and the humility to suggest another one if they don’t feel confident that their style aligns with your request. Whenever anyone asks for a place to go, I say birdhouse without hesitation. Nic is super chill and does amazing line work. Danielle can do the absolute best script. Phoenix color theory and ultra realism is incredible. Each time I work with a new artist I find myself looking forward to a good experience and being able to appreciate their individual style and perspective.

Ash S Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I have been to Birdhouse an embarrassing amount of times. We love it there! If we could move in we would. The energy and artists are amazing. Nic has worked on both my partner and I. They are so talented, kind, and just the utmost pleasure to work with. Phoenix did the most incredible hyper realistic tattoo of paintbrushes on my arm, soooooo talented! Rachel did a couple of walk ins for me and my friends, and Rachel is so lovely, professional, knowledgable and an amazing artist. Woobly took me once on a last minute tattoo, and did a piece that's become one of my absolute favorites. I definitely recommend going here!

Definitely coming back for more ink in the future. Thanks Myra and Birdhouse! Y’all absolutely slay

Fantastic experience: Just got an amazing flash tattoo from Derek at Birdhouse Tattoo, and I’m absolutely in love with it! I picked one of his original designs—a badass lich wizard—and it turned out even better than I imagined. Derek was super professional, friendly, and made the whole experience easy and fun. We totally hit it off chatting about D&D. His linework and shading are top-tier, and the design has so much personality. I highly recommend Derek. Can’t wait to come back for my next piece!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend! I’ve been in to see wobbly twice now, and he has exceeded expectations on both the art work and customer service. If you want a kick ass tattoo, see wobbly!!

Fantastic experience: I got this goose tattoo from Michelle (first pic right after, second pic 4 weeks healed) and had an amazing experience! Michelle drew up an idea from some reference pictures, sent it to me a couple days before so I could look it over, and had several sizes ready for me to choose from when I arrived. She was kind and accommodating, and does absolutely fantastic work. I’d recommend her and this shop to anyone looking for a new tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Alia did an amazing job on my tattoo. She really took the time to make me feel comfortable and made sure I was happy with the sizing and placement. She also made sure to confirm my budget so there were no surprises later. This is the second tattoo shop I have been too and I have been avoiding them due to the last shop making me uncomfortable. I had a great time at Birdhouse and really enjoyed it. Alia did a great job making sure I understood the after care process and answered any questions I had. I drove over an hour for this tattoo and it was totally worth it! I will be back for another!!

Negative experience: i was over charged for what the tattoo i had gotten.. the line work is so messy and i had shown my tattoo to other tattoo artist and they too have said i should not have paid the amount that i did for the way the tattoo came out to be. other than that the place is very nice and welcoming. just shouldn't have been charged that much. (wouldn't let me reply but i don't gave the same last name on my google acct anymore probably why i didn't show up lol)

Hey there thanks for the feedback, all of our artists set their own rates, could you call the shop so we can figure out who you worked with? I also tried to find you in our system to reach out to see who did the tattoo but it doesn’t look like you have ever visited any of our locations.

Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo with Danielle. Great experience and the tattoo turned out sick. Book that appointment with Danielle, you won’t regret it.
