Anatomy Tattoo

I am visiting a friend in Portland, and decided to get some work done as I have not gotten a tattoo in Portland yet.  I called and spoke to Ryan Jacob Smith and was able to accommodate me as a walk-in.  He was very pleasant and did a great job with the lines and making sure everything was symmetrical.  2 GREAT things about Ryan:

1.  Does not charge a "minimum amount"  for tattoos and does not go "per hour".  My tattoo only took 45 minutes and he charged me $80!  Hello $20 tip!!

2.  I designed my own tattoo and he was able to print it off after I emailed it to him.  Some artists want control over the design and want to do the tattoo their way.  Ryan respected the fact that this was my design and did not push me to get something that he wanted to do.  VERY valuable in this day and age.  I have had some bad experiences with other artists that disagreed with my designs i wanted.  

Overall, it was a great experience.  The work area was very clean and conversation was pleasant.  This shop is close to downtown Portland and a 15 minute bus-ride.   I highly recommend Ryan and definitely hit this place up if you want to get some ink while in Portland.

I came here yesterday to get a tattoo from Alice.  I'd had a few ideas of what I thought I'd like, and just asked her to come up with something that would incorporate my ideas but stay true to her style.  I am so happy with the final result, and it was really pleasant chatting with her for four hours while she worked.  Go here!

Please refrain from getting a tattoo from jared hunter. He is stubborn and will not listening to what you have to say. I wanted a long feather with details and i ended up with a blunt looking feather that looks like a 5 year old drew it. I also wanted lettering done, i told jared i want this font i brought the paper and showed him exactly what i wanted he said that tattoos wont and cant look like that. What a dissapoinment. I am now going to have to get a complete cover up on my arm. Thank you anatomy tattoo for wasting my time. Not to mention the other tattoo artists think they are so hard core they wont even talk to you. do not go there. jareds tattoo's look cheap
