Jorge has been the person I go to for my tattoos he’s an incredible artists and I’ve had a great experience! He is busy man and requested by many but if you are patient and wait for your turn it’s totally worth it in the end! It’s always a pleasure working with him!Everyone is always kind and welcoming.The shop itself is always very tidy and clean !
Jorge was awesome! I got my first tattoo with him over 5 years ago and after I started planning my next tattoo immediately! I ended up getting a whole sleeve done by him after the first initial tattoo I got. I told him my ideas and he brought it to life! I’ve been trying to get back to see him again but he’s always booked! I won’t go anywhere else to get tatted.
This shop is by far the best tattoo shop I have ever experienced. Great people and even better work done be the artist. I’ve been supporting this place since it started and have always walked away behind happy and in love with the new art I just got done. I have gotten both my sleeves, cover ups, and several large scale pieces done and have always walked out knowing I made the right decision picking Imperio and just in love with my new tattoos. I always recommend this place to my friends and would recommend it to anyone wanting quality art done by amazing people. I’ve been to a lot of tattoo shops in my day but since I’ve found this one it’s the only I go to anymore because I know exactly what I’m getting every time, an absolute masterpiece.
I’ve been coming to this shop since they opened 4+ years ago! They got a solid crew with a variety of styles.I get top tier quality work done by Caroleena every time.Her artistry is amazing. The type of artist that will take your idea and bring it to life- *better* than you could’ve imagined.I have some pretty interesting conceptual designs and very detailed pieces done- she’s a beast! Literally exceeds my expectations every time.I’m walking around everyday feeling like a Mobile art gallery!!
I love my tattoo Jose did my tattoo. Very fun to work with. They have multiple artists who all have their own unique style and they help you find the right fit for you!!! Thank you imperio!! 😄
Since moving here I’ve been in search of a tattoo artist, I was told about Jorge and shown his work. Let me tell you I couldn’t have been more impressed. Jorge has taken my vision and has been turning it into a beautiful masterpiece.The shop as a whole is great and filled with talented artist who each specializes in their own way. The staff/artists are very personable, they make you feel welcome, comfortable and will make sure your tattoo is perfect and you are happy form how it looks on stencil to the placement before they start.They answer any questions or concerns you may have. The shop is always clean, light is bright, music is always on and ranging from everything.If you are seriously on the hunt for a shop or an artist check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.
Every tattoo artist at the shop is incredibly talented and makes the environment feel so welcoming and comfortable. I’ve only ever worked with Jorge, and my tattoos came out exactly how I envisioned they would in my mind. I plug him as an artist and this shop everytime someone compliments my tattoo. If you’ve never gotten a tattoo, or if this is your 1000th, imperio is the place to go for your tattoo needs.
Every tattoo I have gotten with Jorge has been nothing short of a great experience. Granted he is in high demand and hard to get an appointment with but definitely worth the wait! His work is top of the line! The attention to detail makes such a difference. I get compliments all the time and asked who does my work. I will continue to book with Jorge to complete my pieces. Recommend to all!
I had such an amazing experience getting my first tattoo with Cristina at Imperio tattoos last year. She was so thoughtful and surpassed my expectations! Her design was so beautiful!And Imperio was the best experience. All the artists were so nice and made me feel super comfortable!I cant wait to get my next one
The shop is immaculately clean and organized. Everyone is very welcoming. The art work gives you confirmation that your piece will be a stunner. The only thing I wish were different was that she didnt seem ready. Her line work and her detail was meticulous and my tattoo even on the finger is still mostly here. She did do an excellent job educating me so my expectations with the piece were realistic. I would go back but will allow about an hour of extra time.
I got my tattoo done by Jose last year at this shop and I had a great experience.I sent an Instagram message to the shop showing them what I wanted, they matched me with Jose. He was professional, responded in a timely fashion and accommodated my schedule.The shop is very clean and has incredible art on the walls to look at. My artist did an amazing job and made good conversation. I felt comfortable there.I recommend Imperio any time people ask.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the Skyrim inspired tattoo I got through Christina. I had booked a consultation with her and it was a very pleasant experience. She was personable, friendly and super educational. I had reference photos of what type of tattoo I wanted and she used ALL of the photos to create my finished piece. She stayed within the space I only wanted the tattoo in and was very attentive to detail. The shop itself was super clean and had lots of cool artwork, plus the bathrooms were impeccable. Definitely, will be returning for more! Thank you for my dope dragon tattoo 🤘🏼.
I’ve gotten ALL 3 of my tattoos from Jorge so far and i’ve LOVED every single one of them, His work is impeccable and he makes sure everything is perfect in your eyes before he gets started. His attention to detail is amazing and the environment is super chill , & on the plus side he’s super easy to sit with for hours while he pokes you! Not a single bad thing I can say about my experiences with him at all!
Jorge (@Chief_mota_ on instagram go follow him) is a highly skilled and professional tattoo artist. I’ve been to him 3 times. He does a great job of making sure you are comfortable during long tattoo sessions and taking breaks if you need it. The vibe in the shop is really dope, it’s clean and spacious too. I travel to get tatted by him but one time he was visiting my city & I wanted to get tatted so he brought all his gear & found a shop and scheduled time for us to meet there so I could get my tattoo. Another time he expertly changed the design of my tattoo at the last minute when I wanted it on a different part of my body, without complaining or making me feel bad about the change. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their first tattoo or if you’re adding to your collection.
Jorge is such a talented artist! His attention to detail and dedication to his work have made my tattoos absolutely amazing. He is one of the few tattoo artists I trust to get it right EVERY TIME. Can’t wait to get more ink !
I can’t say enough… Jorge and his team have built this place from the ground up based off of their experiences and talent! The shop is clean, well kept and full of talent! I have over 20 hours of work on my body from Emperio/Jorge and at this point I won’t go anywhere else?You’re in good hands w/any artist there!
Absolutely LOVE this place! The vibes are good, the artists are professional, and every single one of them is talented. I’ve been getting tattooed by Christina for the past few years now. All of the work is stunning. I’ll definitely be a lifetime customer.
I have multiple pieces from both Jorge and Christina and love all of them. Their customer service is top notch and they both really care about their work. No sketchy or funny business like some of those tattoo artists out there, they are honest and fair
My experience with Chief Mota at Imperio Tattoos was fantastic. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and expert at his craft. His attention to detail is impeccable and his shop is clean, organized, and very welcoming. I’ve had two pieces of art tattooed from him and I cannot wait to schedule another! I highly recommend him if you are looking for unique and beautiful pieces.
Amazing place to get tatted! Love the environment! Very Clean. Super cool art everywhere. Great all around experience! Tattoo artist Chief Mota did mine, can’t wait to finish up the rest of my work with him! He’s phenomenal!!! Go check them out if you’re looking for quality work! You won’t be disappointed.
Got tattooed by Jorge over a year ago and they’ve healed so nicely! They’re definitely some of my favorite tattoos thus far! All the artists here are amazing! Definitely a returning for another tattoo by them!!
I made the usual mistake of getting someones name tattooed on me. Xicano wizard at Imperio did my cover up and was so amazing at doing my cover up. Turned out beautiful and I couldnt be happier.
Great vibes, love my artist there. They do amazing work. The other artists do amazing work. Loved what they did for Friday 13th last year. Can not tell you amount of people I try and send to this place when I get compliments on my tattoos.
Shop is always clean, and all the artists I have met have been very nice. I have worked with Christina on 5 of my tattoos. I get compliments on them all the time. She does great work! 🖤
Best tattoo shop! Jorge has done most of my tattoos and has never failed to show his artistic talents. Friendly environment and I highly recommend coming here! Thank you!
I have gotten several tattoos from Imperio Tattoos. Three from Jorge and one from Caroleena. We are not talking about small flash tattoos but arm sleeves, back pieces and a thigh tattoo. Plus 2 of my kids have also gotten tattoos. First, they pride themselves in doing one of a kind tattoos. Their artwork is top notch with a flare for making sure you are satisfied with your tattoos. Everything someone sees my tattoo they ask where I get them from as the detail has stood many years. Being a woman of color sometimes artist dont know how to work with our skin, however this is not an issue with either of them. Still deciding on my next piece.
Easy to find and very clean shop. Beautiful work and amazing artist! I got a very sentimental piece done after my dog passed away, the artist made me feel comfortable. It’s nice having a piece of my dog always with me🫶🏽
Chief Mota (Jorge) is THE BEST tattoo artist I have been to! He’s HUMBLE and a genuinely good person, and an amazing artist! I won’t go to anyone else! I’ve been going to him since he started in the shop that was a split building! He has grown so much!
Everyone at Imperio are great people. I’ve had the pleasure of being tattooed by Jorge as well as starting my new tattoo with Caroleena. Everyone is very welcoming and truly takes their time to make sure you are satisfied from the beginning to the end. I only go to Imperio and always will! Shoutout to the awesome artists there!
- Getting a tattoo sleeve is a significant decision, blending artistry with personal expression. My experience with the process, spanning 4 sessions so far, was nothing short of amazing.- From the beginning , Jorge Mota, was great to work with. My goal was to have a sleeve with designs from the amazon rainforest. Jorge took the time to understand my vision, offering valuable insights on placement, design elements. This collaborative approach ensured that every session was purposeful and aligned with my expectations.- The execution was flawless. Each session was a journey of creativity and precision. Jorge’s attention to detail was remarkable.I highly recommend the studio. I got my tattoo with Jorge but all the other artists are very talented too. The place is very clean and has a great chill vibe. Thank you Imperio tattoo I have my next appt already booked!
A few years back (3) to be specific , Jorge did my arm. I went in a few weeks before my appointment to brainstorm and quote the piece. He did exactly what I wanted and forever pleased with it. Looks forward to get a nice piece from this wonderful artist 💖
I have been going to Jorge for years and since we found him I’ve brought my whole family to him and nobody has ever gone anywhere else. He is one of the most humble tattoo artist I know and so talented. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!!
8 months after loosing my daughter all I wanted was to see her lil face everyday again. I quickly decided that I want to get a portrait of her and I that I wanted to get it done on my chest (scary) after doing some research on local artist I found chief mota on social media . I started looking more into his background of being a tattoo artist and I was quickly convinced this is who I wanted to get my tattoo done by after looking at multiple artist. I couldn’t have been more thankful by choosing him. Not only did he deliver on the portrait but even the process was amazing and painless in my opinion. He took his time and really valued what he does as an artist! 6 years later still looks amazing and still get asked who did such an amazing portrait! 10/10 recommended!
I got my very first tattoo when they were in the other location by Wright Park. Was a great experience. Little to no pain. I now have a whole sleeve that was done by Jorge. Very professional and clean environment.
Been coming to Jorge for years now. Love the work and is a very humble dude who has earned my respect over the years for sure. All the people he would let in at would be the same . Always coming here to any tattoo needs 💯💯💯
Best tattoos in the PNW been getting tattoos from jorge since the beginning. I would only trust him with all MY meaningful pieces.
I’ve been getting my work done by Jose for years and he always follows the most kind and talented people. The shop is so clean and the artwork is so impressive. Imperio is the best place I’ve been to in years!
I’ve been tattooed by Buffy ans Caro for the last 5ish years. I appreciate the patience and skill they have to out my ideas into an image. You can go into the shop and find an artist to meet your vision. They’re all different but you can count on getting your vision met.
I booked a session with a traveling artist and all the staff was so welcoming. Great customers service overall. The shop is incredible! I love the layout and the artwork. Best wishes and endless success.
I’ve been seeing Caroleena and Jorge for ten years now, by far the best artists I’ve came across. They communicate well & offer a clean, comfortable space.Will always recommend them to my loved ones.
My artist Buffy is a unicorn of a tattoo artist: professional and a soft touch considering! Multiple tattoos by him! Will continue to use this shop, it is full of talented artists that can create all genres in the art.
I had gotten a tattoo by Caroleena a while back. I had a great experience at the shop with her and Jorge. Both Caroleena and Jorge are kind, funny, and great personalities. I found this shop from a mutual friend who had been tattooed by Caroleena in the past. My sister has also been tattooed by Caroleena multiple times and always has a great time in the shop. If I could give the shop more stars, I would! Not only for the truly one of a kind of artwork that Caroleena, Jorge, and Jose do but for the environment that comes with it. Everyone is friendly, understanding, and charismatic. I have seen the shop continue to grow throughout the years and am happy to see them flourish. I am proud to have artwork from Caroleena and in the near future the other artists as well.Keep on flourishing Imperio! Sending Good Vibes always! ❤️
My work from Jorge gets compliments everywhere. His creativity, line work and detailing are top tier and my tatts still look fresh years later - 10s across the board
Jorge is the BEST! incredibly talented with everything he does. Even when im not sure exactly what I want done, hes got the artistic vision to turn it into a masterpiece!
Great shop and wonderful artists, Jorge (chief) did my half sleeve and I always get such praise on how well it’s done even when it not finished. Highly recommend and always do when peeps ask.
Very Clean Establishment, easy to find & park. Tattoo artist did a great job, the quality of tattoo is by far my favorite tattoo I have, Carolina is talented & made the experience great, highly recommend Imperio Tattoos
Both my wife and I had tattoos done here by Caroleena. They turned out amazing, this is my number one stop one and the shop I recommend anyone who actually wants good work in the pnw. Can’t wait to get my next one scheduled!
What an amazing shop and the tattoo artist quality is definitely on point 💯 my tattoo shop 🫶🏼 highly recommend this shop and the artists!!!!
Jorge is not professional nor accommodating , 2 bad experiences. First was given the wrong address, sent to an ally, calling for the right address, never responded, I found the shop on my own, when I walked in he was tattooing someone else during MY appointment time ( mind you I was about 20 minutes late due to the fact he gave me the wrong address and I had to find the shop on my own ) and made me wait 2 hours after that in the evening. I was really fed up after this experience. Decided to try again a year later. Sent deposit a month in advance , he tried to push my appointment back 2 hours later for his client before me (which is literally not fair how you gonna accommodate someone else by f’ing over somebody else) I just ended up asking for my deposit back because I’m so fed up with the lack of professionalism. Lost a customer for life. Sad. Both tattoos were $600+ and sent deposit both times (this would’ve been my 3rd tattoo by him)
Myself and my husband have seen Jorge for multiple pieces over the years and will stay loyal clients! All artists at imperio show amazing detail in their work
Jorge was professional and to the point. Executed each piece he’s done for me with his artistic vision and my ideas in mind . Punctual and communicated well . Looking forward to getting more work done in the future.
Just do your homework thoroughly review their tattoo/art on their social media. Numbers aint everything Honesty integrity and respect go a long way. This is permanent art and these artist should stay in their professional lanes.
Chief mota is the best in the game! I always get compliments on my half sleeve that was done by him, I live in Oregon now but the nice thing is that he even travels out here when he gets the opportunity :) Ask for him or any of his artists at imperio tattoo!!
Got tattooed by Caroleena, she did a great job and it looks sick. She was professional, good communication and time management. Will be coming back for more tattoos.
Had an amazing experience here with Buffy. And also been tattooed here 3 times , the environment is very chill and made me comfortable the whole time.
I got a flash tattoo a while back, the crew is super chill and nice and they keep their areas tidy. All of their work is killer. I definitely will be back:)
The shop is great and love all the designs and decor. All the artist are super nice and easy to get in contact with to talk about a piece you are wanting to get.
Kenji did a beautiful job on my tattoo I got in memory of my mother. He was kind and professional and really cared about making sure the tattoo was everything I had envisioned. I will be going back to see him again.
Love the shop. Love the atmosphere. Love Jose!! I have gotten many tattoos from him and plan on getting more!
I got a tattoo done by Christina and she was great from the moment I messaged her asking for the design to the moment I stepped into the building ! Would definitely recommend going here to get tattooed!
Caroleena does really good work! The lettering and shading is sharp and she understands how to tattoo melanated skin for maximum effect.
All the artist are great friendly and the work is amazing all hitters here check out my boy Mota! Got my work done by him great guy
Been going to this place when it was tattoo bird . Every piece except two was done by the owner and I’ve never felt more comfortable and happy with the custom pieces . Give him an idea and he’ll make it come to life . No Pinterest 😂😂
I got my first tattoo at Imperio and everyone was super chill, knowledgable and welcoming. Going back for more soon!
Best work in TAC!Great artist are hard to come by.Never disappointed.Dope atmosphere
10/10 would recommend this shop! Caroleena was very professional and easy to work with! Shop was clean and inviting!
Professional. Chill. Superior talent at this shop. Kenji is very gentle. Highly recommend.
Amazing artist! Highly recommend them. Attention to detail and such great vibes.
Had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Jorge (Chief Mota) and will be back to get more work done!!
I been going since the shop was still tattoo bird. The artists at imperio tattoos are top level
My artist was unprepared to tattoo, the design was not finished and I had to wait two hours after my apt start time before even starting the tattoo. Great art, but the overall experience was not it.
Great people and great vibes. Can’t wait til I get a chance to get another piece from them.
Went there for a flash sale. Cool shop and got a great little filler piece.
Amazing work:) the shop is so clean and very relaxing! I had a great time with my artist Carolina, she’s very professional and super sweet and makes you feel jolly! She did amazing work and i will definitely be back for more!! Highly recommend Imperio Tattoo shop!!
Jorge gave me great looking tattoo!
Long story short I was referred to this tattoo establishment by my husband. If I was going to rate this establishment off just one tattoo artist then it would just be a 1 star. We were referred to an artist called Jae. I met with him the 1st day to sketch out ideas and tell him what I wanted. We started that tattoo on my 1st scheduled tattoo appointment. Everything was going well and then we made an appointment for my 2nd visit to finish up my sleeve. On the day of the next scheduled scheduled appointment we had, I ended up having an emergency and went to the hospital and got surgery done. As soon as I was released and went home to rest and heal I message J immediately apologizing and explaining the situation and seeing if we could reschedule. I shouldnt have to apologize about having a medical emergency urgency but I was apologizing for the fact that I know it may been an inconvenience for him as well. 2 days go by and II can see that he saw my message as soon as I sent it. So I responded again because I figured he was just busy. His next response was rude he told me that he was purposely ghosting me and he didnt want to work with me no more and that he was keeping the deposit. I didnt care so much about the deposit because thats what that is for but at the same time its just so inhumane to me that profit is more important than human worth. I was just so appalled by the unprofessionalism and blatant disrespect.Not only by his words and actions, but the immaturity as well of purposely a ghosting instead of explaining how he feels. It was childish. Just take your time and money to a more professional establishment.
This place is amazing! The artist are very professional but personable. Not to mention as a tattoo business the work they produce speaks for itself. As long as Im in the area, Im gonna try to get all of mine done here
Went in for a flash piece and Carolina my artist was very profesional and made me feel welcome. Also all the artists who work here do a great job. You can’t go wrong with choosing any of them.
Carol was very professional and friendly. She does great detail work and takes her time. The shop was clean and sanitary and it was a very friendly environment. I would highly recommend Imperio Tattoos.
Some great work. Amazing detail
Jorge is the best! He’s an amazingly talented artist. The artist who also work there are talented, friendly and professional.
