Brought my daughters in for their first tattoo- Smitty was more than accommodating and knowledgeable. They got exactly what they wanted and then I sat down with Jay for my first tattoo in over 20 years. Very clean shop, family friendly (which was important as I was there with my family) and we all were satisfied with the result. Will definitely be back!
This is THE BEST place to get a tattoo. Smitty has been my tattoo artist for 8 years now and is leaving a legacy with Bonzo and Josh. GET YOUR TATTOOS at OREGON CITY TATTOO SHOP!!! Tell them Mel from Texas sent you!!!
Had a walk-in appointment with Josh for a couple of tattoos. He got me in before I had to go back to Texas. Josh was easy to work with and nice to conversate with. Very professional shop, no vulgar or crude talk going on of which I really appreciate. I was very pleased with my tattoos and had a great overall experience. Thank you OC Tattoo!!
Hans is really great at his art. I came in with a tattoo that needed some work after three years. He listened to what I had in mind, asked me questions and then offered his own suggestions and the result is perfect. We already have plans for a future addition to the piece. Hello Mount Hood. We see you.This is the third tattoo I’ve asked Hans to create. Both times I’ve visited Oregon City Tattoo it has been last minute and I really appreciate the walk-in service. I hate planning ahead.PS. They only offer tattoos. No piercings. Google is wrong about the services they provide.
I love the tattoo I got from here the other day! I did not have smitty as my artist, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of who did mine. Anyways, he did an amazing job! Super light handed, he knew it was my first time and would ask if I was still okay since I was very nervous. The entire atmosphere was laid back and relaxed yet very clean. I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know, and be going back for my next project 🥰
Was in there last week and tattooed by Claudia. It was a great experience! I went in with an idea and the design she drew was just perfect. So happy with the outcome.
Smitty is amazing! Went with 2 friends and he was incredibly accommodating and just wants you happy with the final product. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. The studio is beautiful and the prices are just right. Thanks Smitty!!
Amazing experience with Josh! This was my first tattoo and yes, I was nervous. Josh put me right at ease answering all my many questions that I had with his welcoming attitude and patience. The shop is very clean and comfortable which also helped ease my nervousness. I will definitely be going to back to him for my next one.
I love this place! Oregon City Tattoo is a tucked away gem for sure. Its clean, its got awesome vibes, the 2 guys there are freaking awesome, down to earth and really really talented. I wanted this Slipknot goat skull and Pokie definitely delivered. I love it! Going back in a few months for the background. 10/10!***update 3/4/23I went in and saw Pokie again to get my tattoo finished and absolutely love it!!! I tried to describe the star I wanted as metal and scratchy and he knew exactly what I meant and executed it perfectly. Thank you guys! 🖤🤘
Smitty was great. My first tattoo and I love it so much. Clean shop as well. Can’t wait for more. Thank you so much.
What a great time. It was my first tattoo and I was nervous. But Hans was super chill and took my design artwork and made a few minor changes and tattooed an amazing tattoo. Met Smitty and Josh and all these guys were true artists. Highly enjoyed the experience and the shop. Super stoked I had this shop do the work after a little research.
There is no words or pictures that I can use to successfully describe the awesomeness of this tattoo. I was in town visiting from Maryland and was referred to Smitty by my colleagues. Needless to say, he is f****** amazing! I previously had the black heart on my arm and wanted to be able to start to work downward. I found this image and asked for something similar and he can choose whatever with the colors, and wow! Just wow wow wow! If you can zoom in close enough, youll see small details that make this flower almost look realistic. There are no hard lines either, which was my one major ask. As many people from my office stated, I highly recommend Oregon City Tattoo.
Smitty did such an amazing job with a tough cover-up on my inner forearm. His work is superb and I will be getting all future tattoos from him only. THANK YOU Smitty!!!!
Great place, vibe and customer service!!! Han was my tattoo artist and a true pleasure to work with. My first time tattooing and he did all 7 small pieces, love them all :) Price point, right no. Good work all around and I highly recommend.
I have had several artists work on pieces and Josh/Pokie has been amazing! Super friendly, super light handed! Thanks Pokie!
Smitty is an amazing Artist! Turning my sketch drawing into an Awesome tattoo.Thanks Again Smitty. Because of you I’m one day closer of a healing heart. I would definitely recommend Oregon City Tattoo. Nice tattooing process, shop atmosphere extremely clean, amazing vibe, Smitty, Josh, and Bonzo will make your experience a good one.
Smitty was able to squeeze me and a friend in for a small matching tattoo. His pressure was light, really took the time to ensure it was the shape and color we wanted. He was friendly (which is rare for most shops) After a bad experience at another pdx shop we were relieved to find him and his skills. We also got to leave a copy of our tattoo outline on the walls
Quality work! Smitty was able execute my lettering work exactly how I pictured it. Definitely recommend using this shop. He has been tattooing for decades and has a great welcoming personality!
Not only did Smitty do an amazing piece blended over my cover-up but also was super helpful in the process of designing it and put a great solid design down with his own touch turned out fantastic, Id recommend them to anyone!
Smitty did a tattoo for my daughters 21st birthday. She had wanted this sketch of her great-grandmother to be her first tattoo. She was nervous to be tattooed but Smitty was wonderful. He is very nice and knowledgeable and made us all feel completely comfortable. The studio was very clean and we liked that we were the only people as Smitty runs a one-man tattoo parlor. The quality of his work is amazing and we were very pleased with our results. And his prices were the best I have found! It was worth the trip out of Portland to go to beautiful Oregon City and get tattooed by Smitty. We have found our tattoo guy and will be back for sure! I highly recommend Oregon City Tattoo!
These fellows are really fun to work with! At 69 years old I was there for my first tattoo. They made it a great experience. They were willing to work with me making me very comfortable. Their craftsmanship is spotand very creative. I will recommend Oregon City Tattoo to for anyone looking for a professional clean and friendly for their next tattoo!
Ive always been wanting to get a tattoo, but Im so indecisive. I finally found this shop and I really liked their work. I finally decided Id go get a tattoo. I went with my Amsterdam and a friend. Pokie was very helpful and easy to work with! He offered an amazing service. We will definitely return!!!!
My buddy and I were searching for a tattoo place that accepts walk in’s on a last minute decision, we called and and got an answer straight away. We got there had to wait a while but as soon as it was our turn we got exactly what we wanted. Pokie was our artist and he was amazing, gave us exactly what we wanted and was hella chill the whole time. Definitely would recommend stopping by.
I came to OC tattoo because I saw Smittys tats online. His work looks well done, clearly he has talent. The person who gave me my tat was a newer individual, not Smitty. I assumed the artistsin the shop wete experienced, and well seasoned. The tat the individual gave is okay best. I was disappointed that the artist had to look at pintrest and copy an exact idea from pintrest. Im also not impressed with the shading now that its healed. Ive never received shading before, so I wasnt sure how it would look as it healed. Now that its healed, the shading is mediocre and okay. I plan on going to another artist to fix a few things.
Hans did my tattoo and Josh did my friends. We love the artwork! Josh was so relatable and good conversation.
Smitty at OCT is the best! He really makes you feel at ease right away and is happy to work with you and make your design come to life! Definitely come in and see what OC Tattoo is all about.
I’ve been tattooed by Smitty for years! He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! I highly recommend! His shop has a really cool vibe and the crew is A+
Pokie did an amazing job of taking my drawing and turning it into an awesome tattoo exactly how I drew it. He was extremely nice and communicated the tattooing process with you every step of the way. The shop atmosphere was extremely clean and great. Would definitely recommend Pokie at Oregon City tattoo and would come back again. :)
Smitty is amazing! He worked me in today. He is professional, friendly, and so good at what he does. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo. What a great experience, thank you Smitty!
It was my first tattoo and the artist josh did a great job giving me information for aftercare and the line job was perfect. 10/10 Would recommend to anybody looking for tattoos it’s great environment!
Smitty was the first person my husband and i have received tattoos from. We came in from out of town and he did a fantastic job. Next time we come to Oregon well be seeing him again. A great first experience for us. Love the shop and hes cool to talk to!
Smitty is the kindest, most professional, patient and a true masterful tattoo artist. When I first had Smitty tattoo me, I chose him over several other artists. I was a tattoo virgin. Smitty treated me with the upmost respect and care. He had a very light touch and I’ve had quite a bit of work done since. I receive a ton of compliments on my tattoos. I have a back piece of vibrant colored flowers and a hummingbird. My hubby was also tattooed by Smitty. We both highly recommend Oregon City Tattoo. You won’t be disappointed. Rock on Smitty!
I have been on a journey for about ten years to begin the process of a coverup. I have spent a lot of time learning about what matters to me, what has meaning to me. and what I think will be a great fit. This journey has included time spent with tattoo artists throughout the Portland area. I have come to know the different styles and personalities of the artists in the area. Most have been pleasant experiences but even still I have usually left wondering if the artist and myself are on the same page. I decided to give Oregon City Tattoo a call. Smitty answered and I asked a couple questions which he answered in a very friendly way. I asked if I could drop by and show him what I have been hoping for. No Problem he said. I went in and was greeted by a friendly smile and seemed interested in what I wanted to show him. He was very helpful and listened to everything I had to say about my ideas. He was very open to creating a piece consistent with what I was asking for. His art and ability seem to span a broad spectrum of styles and his confidence was reassuring. He explained his schedule and his timeline and I look forward to what the future has to offer when this time comes to put this art beneath my skin! Ill let you all know how it goes!So, I never followed up on the coverup. However, my son and I returned a year later, 12/14/22, and met Hanz. My son and I decided to get tattoos to celebrate his adulthood and our relationship. Hanz was amazing! He was easy going and very professional. He drew up some ideas and we both got our tattoos done the next day. The experience was top notch. The tattoos are amazing! I completely recommend Oregon City Tattoo! I will be back for more work again soon.
My wife and I ended our honeymoon with matching tattoos courtesy of Oregon City Tattoo and couldnt be more pleased with the outcome. Smitty is reasonably priced, works blindingly fast, and has a wonderfully dry sense of humor we both appreciated. We usually get New Tattoo Energy everywhere we go, all They were great! We will use them again!, only to decide later, Meh, they were just okay, but its been several days and just thinking about our experience, not to mention how great we look, makes us giggle like little girls. We will be back, possibly to have some other mediocre tattoos redone.
He did an AMAZING job and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I went in to get 2 ankle tattoos and he did a fantastic job on them. I brang in my own cloud and olive branch designs and he was able to make them into clean and professional masterpieces that I’ll have forever! I recommend him 100% and he was also super kind and professional.
Smitty is fantastic. Best artist within 100 miles. Ive never been disappointed with anything he has done.
I got my fist Friday the 13th from Smity during the beginning of COVIpocalypse, hes amazing. His range of artistic style is very wide and I enjoy his personality as well. Very cool man, affordable art and its gorgeous?! No questions where Im getting my next piece.
The vibe of this place is amazing! Clean, and professional shop! Smitty has a awesome personality, between my husband and I we have 3 tattoos by him. No doubt there will be more to come!
I am Jerry from Coos Bay and Smitty took what was not only in my head ,but also in my heart, and transferred it to my arm. Totally amazing work. There are no words to say how happy I am. Thank you so very much Smitty
Awesome experience, Smitty was able to fit me in between appointments and the process was smooth and the tattoo was clean, he didn’t rush me out the door to get on to the next “victim” as he called them! Great guy, great shop!
Smitty is easy to chat with, he does fast work with out sacrificing beautiful work. My entire household has been to him and all over joyed with our pieces. Highly recommend him!
Great local tattoo shop very friendly, great prices and quality work! My new regular ink joint. Had a rose tattoo done on my finger and I love it.
The place rocks. It has a very welcoming feeling. The artist is respectful humerus & has a great personality. His work is better than outstanding, its totally awesome. Plus his prices are very reasonable.
I got my first tattoo here. The shop is so cool 3rd floor, I loved the yellow bench outside the door, tattoo chair is right next to the window (which overlooks downtown Oregon city), I got to put my tattoo on the wall, good price, and Smitty was a really cool funny guy Im glad I got my first tattoo from him. I want to fly back to Oregon( from Florida) to get another tattoo.
Hans is amazing! Very friendly and welcoming environment. Hans is patient, super chill and did exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be back!
Smitty has a ver clean and comfortable shop, that actually feels like a place you want to be in, not like a bar. I’ve gotten all of my art there and love them all. Nice, funny, totally awesome!!!!
He did amazing!! I am so I love with my tattoo. He stayed late to make sure we got what we wanted. I highly recommend this place! If I could give it 10 stars I would!!
I really like Hans, Smitty and Josh. Great work comes out of this shop. Theyve worked on my hubby, my mom and I.
Highly recommend him, he was so helpful and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and was kind enough to squeeze me in for an appointment last minute! parlor is very clean and a friendly atmosphere. pricing is also very reasonable. will be recommending to friends! thank you
Very cool shop, they have a wall where they put everyones tattoo art work up on, its really impressive. The artist and the work they put out is top quality will be going back for a lot more work.
My friend and I walked in and got a tattoo same day. They were very professional, and I’m very happy with the tattoo. I’ll definitely be returning in the future for more.

Satisfied with my tattoo,from beginning to end, the guy went over and beyond to get what I wanted.
Zach is a talented and friendly artist. I really enjoyed my experience with him.
Healed and looked like this within a week. don’t come here. absolutely unacceptable.
Have gotten all three of my tats from Smitty. Will only continue getting them by him.
Smitty is awesome, the wait is always worth it!
Hans did exactly what I wanted.
