    Great for piercing if you're willing to pay more to get it done right!
    As far as tattoos, you're paying above average price for very average work.

    If you want a great piercing or body jewelry, pay more and come here.
    If you want a great tattoo, don't.

    Had a fantastic experience with Jo. Got two piercings done and she was informative, funny, and professional! Would suggest this place to anyone in the Portland area looking for piercings.

    I was in there today and received such poor service from a new tattoo artist. He was going to charge me an insane amount and was arguing with me telling me how I wanted my tattoo. I pay artists to collaborate with me and he was doing the opposite. He was very pushy, wouldn't negotiate with me and was unaccommodating. In a city where there are so many wonderful tattoo artists, no one should be treated with such poor service. The quality of his work was okay, but he didn't listen to me and my requests weren't unreasonable. He wouldn't negotiate placement or coloring which is unacceptable. He was also hitting on me, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Artists like this don't deserve my business or yours either.

    However, this experience doesn't reflect on the entire operation. Everyone else I have dealt with here has been so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Make sure you are working with anyone but this dude(Zach), and everything should be okay.

    This is the place to get pierced! Jo is absolutely fantastic. I have quite a bit of experience being pierced at various shops in Portland/Seattle and I have never had a piercer as friendly, knowledgeable and relatable as Jo. She has zero attitude and makes every customer feel important and appreciated. Whether you are in for your first ever piercing, or you're a piercing vet, there is no one I would suggest more than Jo!

    On another note, the other piercer at Robot is pretty unfriendly and has a big attitude. I'm sure he does a great job, but if you are looking for a fun and respectful experience, I wouldn't recommend him.

    I had a lovely experience at Robot Piercing and Tattoo! I'm reviewing now a month later and am happy to report that my cartilage (helix) piercing is healing quite nicely. I walked in on a Monday afternoon and was instantly greeted by Jo who ended up being my piercer. She was awesome and I was totally clueless when it came to piercings, and she walked me through it step by step and never belittled or made me feel inferior, she was totally sweet and professional. She let me know why it was better to get needles over guns, how I can switch out the jewelry, and even recommended a local piercer in my area (I'm from the Bay Area) in case my piercing gave me any troubles or if I wanted a new one in the future, stuff like that.  After signing paperwork, she and I went through all of her jewelry options, and I decided on a small rhinestone stud. It was about $50 for the jewelry (which includes piercing,) so kind of pricy, but I am glad I paid to have my piercing done in super clean parlor! We went back to the little tattoo/piercing stations and I sat down on the bed (eh? I don't know what else to call it!) and she cleaned my ears and then drew a dot on my cartilage for where the piercing would go, and we agreed that'd be a good spot. She double checked on multiple angles to make sure that it would look good there. While I was a little nervous, Jo made me feel totally comfortable, made sure I was relaxed and breathing, and generally carried on conversation throughout my time at Robot. It was a short and sweet experience, just like a piercing should be! After my piercing she sent me on my way with aftercare instructions, a bag of non iodized sea salt (because she knew I was away from home and staying at a hotel,) cute Robot Tattoo and Piercing pins, and candy; awww yeah.

    Got my cartilage pierced at Robot last week. (Second piercing ever!) It was a great experience. I am weary of needles and piercings, and they treated me with professionalism and not as if I was a wimp. The facility was very clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The pricing was reasonable, and for that piercing experience I would've paid double. Go to Robot--I doubt you'll regret it!

    I went to Robot Piercing and Tattoo today and had a wonderful experience! I've been yearning to get my nose pierced for a long time. I did my research first and scoured Yelp looking for the right place for me.
    .
    At Robot I had the option of doing a stud or a hoop. Yay! The prices are extremely reasonable, the shop is very clean, the music is not over whelming, and there wasn't an attitude in sight. I've been in other shops where I've been talked down to, treated like I was an idiot, and the person doing the work acts bored with me or is downright rude.

    The girl that greeted me was friendly and professional. Jo did my piercing and she was great. I've had a couple other cartilage piercings so I know the drill, but I very much appreciated how thorough and efficient she was. She ran through every thing first, and took the time to find the right hoop for me. She tried a couple on me and then had me double check for final approval. I had a question about re-positioning and she answered my questions with friendly confidence and complete professionalism. I used to work in a medical setting and I am familiar with sterilization and cross contamination. Jo was very clean and followed procedure to avoid cross contamination.

    Also, when I got there and was filling out the form, I mentioned that I hadn't eaten anything other than coffee and Jo had me run across the street for a little snack first so I wouldn't be chancing a fainting spell. :)

    This was the least painful piercing I've ever had! It was so quick and easy and easily a billion times better than any other piercing experience I've ever had. I will be going here for any and all future piercings and jewelry.

    Keep an eye out for the robot sign! The shop is below sidewalk level, but really easy to spot as there's a wide landing once you jog down the steps. Great selection of body jewelry and plugs/gauges from quality sellers, including Maya Organic. They have everything from your basic, cheap acrylic-ware to quality stone and all natural wood, bone, shell etc pieces. I loved the level of knowledge their counter people seemed to have and how familiar they were with all the various brands and styles I was interested in. I picked up a nose ring  ($12) and pair of new stone plugs (00, $45) and was fitted for the nose ring. The piercing room was bright and sterile and the woman who helped me gave me short, sweet, and accurate cleaning instructions just in case. She fitted my nose ring quickly (I am already pierced, but she put in the new piece for me) and sent me on my merry way! Great spot for quality gauges and jewelry.

    I've had Shauna "fix" a few bad choices and she has given me a couple outstanding pieces, one that is currently still a work in progress. She is great to bullshit with and everyone in the shop makes me feel welcome. I've had a lot of appointments that needed to be changed around and all of the ladies I have dealt with have been very kind and helpful. I am definitely a lifetime customer. The work Shauna does is great and I always recommend her to everyone.

    Got my first tattoo from here and would recommend it to anyone!! If I get any work done in the future, I'll be back in a heartbeat!! Shauna did a quote for me on my foot and did a wonderful job!!! She is so awesome - super nice, laid-back, and had a great sense of humor which I appreciated! Friendly staff, very clean, professional, and overall a really comfortable environment. Thanks Robot!!

    Just got my first tattoo ever from here. Shauna is amazing, she really listened and helped with the design I wanted. The tattoo was really painful (duh) but she was quick and really tried to put me at ease. I love my tattoo and can't wait for it to heal and start thinking about my next one! Also the shop is crazy cool, love all the sci-fi stuff and robots!

    Robot is amazing, they have a great selection of body jewelry in a variety of materials, such as, wood, metal, glass, plastic, bone, and stones. I've even had custom pieces brought in for me at very reasonable prices. I love Robot, and I miss Dave Rodriquez.  They run a very clean sop with knowledgeable people, they are friendly, and I have never been treated with an attitude that one may receive in other piercing/ tattoo shops.

    I've gone into Robot Piercing a few times over the last few years. Each time I have gone in, I have been greeted with a big smile and a very friendly, "how can we help you?".  

    I have a small nose stud, and I've gone in a few times to get new jewelry and they have been so wonderful. About a month or two ago, I got a new stud put in, and I left the shop as happy as can be. About a week after, I noticed that the post kept poking out of my nose like a big external booger. Super annoying! But considering that I live in NoPo, I don't get to the west side very often so it took me a while to get back in. So today I went in and after being warmly greeted yet again, I explained the issue and the woman at the counter was SO nice and super professional and immediately responded with a cheery, "we need to get you a  shorter post!". After all was said and done, she said she wouldn't charge me for it, and said I was all set to go since it was simply a straight swap-out. I

    I have had so many great experiences here, I highly highly recommend Robot Piercing. They know how to take care of their customers.

    LOVE this place, slight Robot groupie -- been going here for years for my tattoos/piercings and will not go elsewhere.  They simply are the best!  

    The moment you walk in the door you receive a friendly greeting.  It is exceptionally CLEAN!  Great variety of jewelry (lots of local artists).  

    The tattooers are fantastic: Shauna does amazing work, she designed my large shoulder/upper arm piece -- I came in with a basic idea, she tweaked a few things to made sure it complemented the muscular tone of my arm, it turned out better than I envisioned!  I often get complements on the delicate/clean line work and am always asked who the artist is -- never gets old!

    The piercers are fantastic as well -- they always give a step-by-step explanation of what they will be doing and why.  The jewelry is high quality -- surgical steel -- I have never had a problem with any piercing done by Jo or Emerald.

    They may not be the cheapest but you definitely get what you pay for!

    Everyone seems to love this place, except the one person who had a poor experience with her tattoo, but I was unsatisfied with my piercing, and I feel I should leave a review.  

    I went in as a walk-in to get my daith pierced.  I showed the piercer a picture of what I wanted, a large hoop on the lower part of my daith.  Instead, I ended up with a tiny hoop that looks far more like a forward helix.  This was not what I asked for and additionally, it later got infected.  I was visiting town at the time so I went back to a very trusted shop in Santa Cruz to have them check on it, as it remained infected for weeks, and they said part of why it was infected was because the jewelry was too small and that my body may be rejecting it.  Furthermore, the piercing skims my skin, as opposed to going through the cartilage.  It's very bizarre.  I feel as though I could easy rip it out because it's really not going through any cartilage at all.  

    The piercing grew on me, but it still looks like a forward helix and a year later, I still wish I had the piercing I asked for!  

    I also give this place two stars, like the other reviewer who was dissatisfied, because it was exceptionally clean.  Also, they were really nice to me, which was great of course, but I just didn't get what I came in for.

    I went into Robot years ago to get some advice on a piercing gone wrong by another shop. They were very kind and professional and really seemed to know what they were talking about.

    Today I went in to get my nose re-pierced with a ring instead of a stud and my ears stretched to 8s since they were only 12s before. Emerald is a bonafide badass, I absolutely loved talking with her and she really knew what she was doing. She also removed a lip ring that my dentist said is wearing down my gums.

    I also wanted to talk to someone about a couple tattoos I want, so Shauna took the time to listen to my ideas and I can't wait to see the drawings! I'm very excited to go back. The decor is great and the general atmosphere is relaxed and professional. Also the place is very CLEAN!!!

    Robot has a new loyal customer in me, I hope they're ready!

    I love this place. I've been going to see Jo there on and off over the years to get my plugs but I recently got tattooed there by Jason. It was a nice experience. I've been in quite a few shops, worked in a couple, and the music is always so terrible and loud and overwhelming. Not here, the music is generally pretty soothing and it's a welcoming environment. Jason was very friendly and I enjoyed geeking out with him over movies and scifi while he worked out my wedding band. This is the first place in Portland I've been tattooed since I've lived here and I'll go back. I think they are now my favorite tattoo shop and the employees are a lot of fun to be around.

    The best place hands down!

    I was desperate for someone to help me with a hack job nose piercing.  I went to a couple other shops off yelp to see if they could help, one recommend Robot Piercing + Tattoo.  This is my first piercing and some of the other places I went were not friendly - since I am not their typical client. But I walked in and the staff was extremely nice and listened to me and what I wanted.  

    They didn't judge me by my appearance - Emerald (ROCKS) listened and removed the piece from my nose, cleaned it up and then let me know what she felt were the best options.  Turns out (the other place) but a lip stud in my nose and the gauge was way way bigger than what it needed to be.  She was gentle and I felt she really cared about me - not just slapping the correct jewelery in and sending me on my way.

    I have been back to have my nose ring changed out, my daughter has had hers done and we will return for another piercing....or maybe that tattoo I have been to chicken to get.

    ROBOT PIERCING + TATTOO, need it done - they are the BEST.

    Well shit, i've been coming here for years, so I guess it's time to write a review.

    Jo has done SEVERAL of my piercings, and she is a goddess. I followed her over from Optic Nerve. Great customer service, warm personality, and gentle and quick. All things I value in a piercer. They also buy only the very best, top of the line jewelry for the shop. When it comes to jewelry, you pay for what you get, and the gettin' is good here.

    I was recently tattooed by Shawna for the first time (got a gift certificate for Xmas), which is what reminded me to draft this review. She was such a peach! She's got a light hand, compared to the guy who usually tattoos me at another shop (whom I love dearly, don't get me wrong). She did a thorough consultation, and kept things very pleasant during the actual tattoo process. I'd recommend her to anyone, and I'll try to post a picture of the tattoo she did!

    I always think parking is going to be a bitch when I roll up to this corner of 23rd, but under some magical grace I always find a spot. Bitchin.

    On a final note, I would like to add that this is a very WELCOMING, non-pretentious shop. In a city so saturated with tattoo and piercings shops, sometimes you might walk in and get a surly stare-down from the counter girl/boy or even some of the artists. This fucking sucks, and nobody likes to walk into a shop feeling like they're not tattooed or pierced enough to be gracing the shop's presence. Robot is not that kind of place. They're basically art geeks who work in an impeccably clean space and want to share their craft with appreciative, like-minded individuals.

    So refreshing in a town of pretentious body mod types. Y'all know who i'm talking about.

    Awesome shop. I've gotten several piercing's and one dermal here and been very satisfied and happy with all of them! Staff were friendly and extremely helpful not to mention fun and made you feel comfortable and relaxed.  Shop itself was very clean and hygienic everyone wore gloves, washed their hands, used sterile equipment, no scratching their nose with gloves on etc...  The body jewelry selection is amazing, lots to look through and lots to choose from all at very reasonable prices.  

    One of my favorite shops in Portland!!

    I cannot recommend this place highly enough!  I went in a little over a week ago to get my hood pierced.  I was nervous, and it had taken me a good five years to work up the courage to actually go through with this one.  I love piercings, but I'm terrified of needles, and so every visit to a piercing shop is an exercise in dueling emotions.

    Not this time.

    I was lucky enough to have Jo help me out, and she was so incredibly friendly!  No attitude, no apathy, she was eager to help and approachable and just immediately put me at ease.  She was informative and patient and walked me through the whole thing before she did it, and I was honestly so surprised at receiving such *good* customer service that I never really had time to get nervous.

    The piercing went off incredibly smoothly, hurt almost not at all, and I've been healing even better than expected.  I am so impressed!  I will most definitely be coming back here for all my future piercings.

    This place excels at customer service. I've been coming here for years for all of my piercing/jewelry needs, and I always have a great experience due to the extremely helpful, gentle and courteous staff.

    The last time I was in, they didn't have exactly the type of nose stud I wanted... The young lady who was working suggested I go to another store (Adorn) who was likely to carry it. She even told me the other store's hours!  I thought only Kris Kringle sent customers to the competition! Robot is aces in my book.

    Don't miss this shop!!!! I've had both piercings (Jon is a BOSS!) and a tattoo here, and have never had a better experience. Super friendly staff who make you feel perfectly at ease and demonstrate an excellent quality of work. Shauna worked with me on my custom tattoo and I could not have asked for anything better! Great selection of jewelery, and the standard piercing jewlery is very high quality compared to some other shops- you get what you pay for folks! They also give you a few bucks off if it's your birthday!

    I just got a great tattoo at Robot! Dave Rodriguez did it and I am more than thrilled. The place is clean and friendly. The staff are all super nice. Dave took tons of time with me picking out patterns and drawing a custom tattoo. The finished piece went above and beyond my expectations.
    I love my tattoo!
    Thanks Dave and the Robot crew!!!

    I got my septum pierced about four months ago in new york, and my goal for coming back to Portland during winter break was to buy some new septum jewelry (no tax woo!). I first went to Adorn in SE- the woman was rude, treated me as if I had no idea what she was talking about, and the piercer wasn't even there so I couldn't get someone to switch out my jewelry.
    I then went to Robot, and instantly knew this was the place to be. Adorn was empty, messy, and dark- Robot was full of staff members, customers, and it was very bright and clean inside. All of their jewelry was out for customers to see, unlike Adorn where most of it was "in the back and I wasn't allowed to look at it".
    The woman helping me was really friendly and answered all of my questions, and when I chose one another very friendly woman switched it out for me- easy as pie.
    They also take cards (Adorn is cash only), which is very convenient. Overall it was a super easy process, their selection of jewelry is fantastic and the staff was very welcoming.

    Last February, on a whim, I decided to randomly get my septum pierced while in Portland visiting a friend. We did a quick search on where to go and picked Robot just based on them not having a skeevy website and being cool with walk-ins. I am so glad that this is the place we chose. Not only did they put a hole in me, they did it quickly, efficiently, inexpensively, and with such friendliness that it caught me off-guard. They were positively LOVELY.

    My experience with Robot Piercing came from out of the blue. I was in Portland for my first time in September of 2009, and somehow my friend and boyfriend convinced me to get my nipples pierced....yeah I KNOW.

    Although pretty much scared shitless, Jon at Robot made me feel relaxed, sure of myself, and most importantly COMFORTABLE AND SAFE. I knew I was in good hands because he explained every detail of the procedure, showed me the sanitized tools he was going to use, and really didn't rush me into the whole process. It was kind of like my dad, but not in a creepy way hahahaha. He made me feel comfortable, okay!!?

    With that said, one of the most important things I found about my experience was that after he pierced my first nipple, he said, "okay, now I know you're going to think wow that wasn't so bad! So Now you're going to think the next one won't hurt as much, but that's just because your mind was preparing you for something really painful. Most people find the second one hurts more because they have relaxed their anticipation of that pain. So I just want you to be prepared this side will hurt too". His explanation really helped me grasp my own interpretation of the initial pain and mentally prepare myself for the next one, which I thought was extremely considerate and really showed me he cared for the comfort of his clients.

    I've had my piercings for over a year now, and I totally love them. They look awesome, they're symmetrical, and over all just fucking awesome. I'm going up to Portland again next week, and I'm hoping to go back. Robot Piercing is amazing and I know I can trust them.

    Today I took my 16 year old daughter to Jo to get her nose pierced.  I just wanted to say how happy we both were with her very professional service.  She treated my daughter well and explained the procedure, step by step, and went over the follow up care twice.  She went over a lot of misinformation that is available online.  Today was all about my daughter but I also want to say that Jo was totally respectful of me as a parent, which was much appreciated.  Thanks Jo!

    I love Robot Piercing and Tattoo! I've had my nose ring changed out multiple times and got my cartilage pierced here and the service is always impeccable. Not only is the staff kind and knowledgeable, but they're also patient and helpful. Every time I go in, I look for Jo, one of their main piercers. She's the best! She walks you through every step of the pierce and her calm, patient demeanor is what makes a could-be-scary experience something fun! Not only is the site super clean, but the staff is METICULOUS about sterile tools. This is the only piercing shop you should ever go to if you're looking to get pierced in Portland!

    About their tattoos and piercings, I know not, but in regards to the incredibly kind, personal customer service you get every time you walk into this shop, Robot Piercing deserves a big "Woohoo!"

    I've bought several pieces of jewelry from them and the selection is great and the prices seem good by comparison, but to me what really sets them apart is how friendly and cool the staff is there. One time I went into Robot asking their owner about repiercing a nostril because my girlfriend had to have her nose ring taken out to get an MRI. He was incredibly kind and understanding and ended up giving me a temporary glass nose stud she could use to replace the one the ER so callously clipped out.

    Recently they were also kind enough to help out with a philanthropic event that my girlfriend is helping to raise support for. Can I just say, what a rad bunch of people!

    I decided to get my nostril re-pierced and had seen Robot on my way to Urban Out-lickers. I called and they were polite and forthcoming with info. When I showed up, the piercer was sitting with another customer giving her plenty of attention about her questions and concerns. He sat with her for a few minutes and then super sweetly explained he had to get back to work. For some reason this made me pumped- he didn't ditch her for another customer, but also didn't deny us attention either. Anyway, the place was spotless, interesting to hang out in, and the piercing literally was over before I could say "stab me." Mr. Jon the Piercer, you are the man. Fantastico. Plus, my man found all the original robot toys fascinating and managed to name many of them. Yes.

    Duude! Robot Piercing + Tattoo is to me probably THE BEST piercing shop in Portland. I was here in Portland for the summer and got introduced to them by a roommate and fell in love.

    John who owns the shop and I think does most of the piercings is super fun, super friendly and very professional. He tries to make every experience a good one--makes sure you're comfortable. I got my ears gauged here.

    The body jewelry is just a tad bit pricey but they have a variety of jewelry I have never seen before.

    Overall, amazing experience! Definitely going there every time I'm in Portland for a piercing.

    My last two tattoos have been done at Robot and I am such a fan that I carry around their business cards in my wallet and recommend them to anyone who asks where to get tattooed in Portland.  Everyone who works there is super friendly and the guy who did my tattoos is thoughtful, professional, and talented.  

    My tattoos are solid black ink, very dark and pretty big.  My most recent tattoo took two sessions and the guy who was doing it, was able to work with my schedule.  He was really great about checking in while he was working on my tattoo, making sure that I was doing alright.  He was careful about placement, taking the time to make sure it was perfect.   And he was also really super nice--always good quality.  

    Another artist who work there recently did a tattoo for a friend of mine and it's lovely.  The artist remembered me from my first tattoo at Robot and was friendly and chatty, a welcome distraction during my first sitting.

    Overall, you couldn't really ask for more from a tattoo shop--it's a clean, well designed space and the quality of the work is exactly what you want for something that is going to be on your body forever.

    I had an appointment, and when I came in, about ten minutes before my appointment, the artist who was to be tattooing me was engaged in conversation with another customer. At first this was OK. It was ten minutes before my appointment, and I thought he would tell the guy that I was here first (by appointment) and set him up for a later appointment.

    That's not what happened. The guy was from a few towns over and he wanted a tattoo of his girlfriend's name on his arm and was insistent upon having it done that day. I guess my appointment meant next to nothing, because my appointed artist spent an hour and a half talking to this guy about his tattoo before he told me that he was ready to talk to me about mine and show me what he'd drawn for me.

    Also, at the end of this 1 1/2 hour discussion, he told the gent that he'd have my tattoo done within two hours, so the guy could come back.

    When he did finally get to inking me (about 40 minutes into MY turn, or over two hours into my appointment), he was rushing through it because the other guy was going to come back. He kept mentioning how we had to do this quick, and so I felt I had no right to tell him to take it slow or to take some five minute breaks.

    A half-hour into getting inked, the customer from earlier came back into the shop and started asking when the artist would be ready. He left, and came back again in a half-hour, asked when the artist would be ready. Left, then came back in a half-hour again, and decided to just stand there with his cronies and hover over me as I was getting inked, with a disgusted/annoyed look on his face.

    Why the didn't the staff tell this guy he needed an appointment, or refer him to another shop? I guess they must have been desperate for what would have only been a $50 job (it was his girlfriend's name, nothing complicated or detailed, just very plain letters). Why didn't they say anything when the guy came back repeatedly and was acting super douche-y? This scenario happened because they are UNPROFESSIONAL.

    I give them two stars instead of one because at least the facility was clean.

    All the rave reviews here are for piercing. I haven't been pierced at this shop, so maybe it's better. Tattoo is a NO go.

    After researching local piercing shops for about 3 weeks I found this place to be the most reasonably priced and professional in the Portland area. The people weren't snobby which you sometimes get in tattoo shops like if you don't have a sleeve or something you are just a poser, no, these people are welcoming and funny. The lip piercing took a total of about 2 seconds after ensuring it was in the spot I wanted and at the gauge that was both functional and fashionable for me. It was an overall wonderful experience, like it should be.

    I finally did it yesterday at Robot Piercing.
    I also took my little bro with me to get his ears done.
    It was a fantastic experience...
    Jo was our piercer, and despite a slight head cold was extremely warm, friendly, professional, and explained things step by step in a down-to-earth & knowledgable fashion. :o)  
    Everything was spot-on clean, the decor was fun & funky, the jewelry selection was massive, everyone smiled at us, and our piercings look great!
    I highly recommend Robot AND Jo.

    My girlfriend and I have both gotten numerous piercings done here between the two of us.  The staff is excellent and friendly.  The owner, Jon, has been piercing for more than ten years, and is excellent at what he does.  In addition to piercings they offer tattoos, jewelery, comics, and even a few t-shirts.  I wouldn't go anywhere else!

    I am surprised there is not already a review of Robot Piercing on yelp.

    I got my septum done at Robot in August, and always have my ears stretched there (recently took them out though). First off, the staff is incredible. Very down to earth and eager to help you find exactly what you want, but are also honest and if they don't think a certain body-mod is not a good idea they let you know their opinion. Everyone I know with body-mods to robot and has never had a problem.

    The selection of jewelery is also very extensive. They do not sell plastics, but the glass and wood selection is very extensive. Plus you can have them order certain jewelery you don't see in the display case.

    The vibe is also very relaxed and welcoming. At times you can find people just hanging in or around the store.

    So if you are planning on getting a new mod, go to Robot. I promise you will be satisfied with whatever you get!
