Got my first tattoo here and I loved their service and the quality!!! The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was their lack of reviewing aftercare guidelines. My tattoo has healed beautifully though and I get compliments on it everywhere I go! Definitely recommend them for someone looking for a reasonable priced tattoo in a friendly parlor :)
Review Source:I love my foot tattoo the people that work there are warm and welcoming. The people their are extremely informative and relaxed which is nice since it was my first time. I filled out paper work we looked at some tattoos discussed position and coloring. Gene, my tattoo artist, drew out a brief sketch. I was nervous because it didn't look like there was enough detail but wow he really got the detail done after. He was trying to talk but I was grinding my teeth so much I made it impossible. I love the tattoo he did more than what I had expected.
Review Source:This place is clean, efficient and the artists here are nice.  Based on 2 referrals for this shop, I booked an appointment for my second tattoo.  Erik was very chill while I was freakishly nervous.  This can be firmly blamed on the physiological damage of the first tat  experience (7 yrs earlier elsewhere) and an annoying needle phobia which shouldn't connect but it does.  He was in tune with keeping up conversation until the anxiety was gone.  It came out so well that I came back a month later to have the old one touched up.  Erik did a little freehand magic on the old tattoo and I left a happy girl.

Thinking it might be time to get some new ink....
Got my tattoo done by Rose and am very impressed.
The shop is super clean and professional with none of the attitude found in many successful shops Ive visited before.
Rose listened to what I wanted, worked with me on making it fit were I wanted it and didn't once attempt to upsell of goldbrick.
Prices are more than reasonable, and when my piece took less time to do than expected, Rose knocked the price down. How cool is that?
I will definitely be going back to the Pussycat, and Rose.
Got a tattoo from Matt Shaver at Pussycat Tattoo last night and love it! He did what I wanted, the tattoo was done very fast and the price was reasonable.
The shop itself is pretty busy, the guys are all friendly in there. They take a down payment of $40 which is to secure your appointment, but if you change your mind or cancel, it is non-refundable, so be prepared to pick out your artwork and or bring in a decent design for them to go off of.
It is also very clean, safe and organized professionally!
I guess I'm not qualified to give a 5-star review to a tattoo parlor as I've had one tattoo for all of four days now. Â But hey, it was the best tattoo I've ever had, so I'm smacking down all 5.
Before going to Pussycat, I dropped in on many of P-town's most reputable tat joints and flipped through a lot of artists' portfolios. Â Some places were more comfortable than others, some places were too hip to give newbies the time of day. Â The best artists in our area were booking out two months and I just wanted to get on with it.
So a friend of mine who is a walking canvas said to go to Matt  at Pussycat, down on McLoughlin.  One day while Ms. A and I happened to be down that way, we stopped in. Â
It's a clean, well-lighted place with a friendly boisterous atmosphere and - aside from a couple occasional dweebs waiting in the lobby - great people. Â Short story, I had my appointment 6 days later and Matt did a fantastic job. Â And too boot, they played all the best of the Clash while I endured the pain. Â If I could have requested a soundtrack for my first tat, that would probably be it.
Matt's a fairly taciturn fellow, a serious artist. Â He's a big Texan with a buzz cut, hornrims and a big American car. Â He has an aversion to Austin and doesn't like getting tattoos (although he has plenty). Â He might be on his way to being a curmudgeon. Â These aren't the kind of qualities you're likely to find in a Northeast Portland artist, thus they're refreshing.
If you want a more interactive experience you might check in with Gene or Rose, also at Pussycat. Â But Matt gave me exactly the tat I wanted and got it done in well under the estimate. Â It might be my first but it won't be my last!
