    Stopped in for a Hearts Bandit flash tattoo in February and had a great experience with Nick. He was able to squeeze me and three friends in as walk-ins, which we really appreciated. The whole process was smooth and welcoming, and Nick made us feel comfortable right away. He did a great job with the tattoos — clean lines, great placement, and exactly the style we were hoping for. We all love our heart tattoos. It was also really cool knowing the event supported a local cause. Overall, an awesome tattoo experience and we’d definitely come back.

    I jumped on the Valentine Bandit special because it’s part of Portland’s history that I absolutely adore AND a portion of the proceeds went to Maine Needs. Zakk was awesome and super easy to work with. This was a simple piece but he is a very talented dude and a real pro. The shop was immaculate! I can’t wait to get more work done soon.

    I was pierced by Zasu and they were awesome to work with!! They made sure I was very informed about the process, the jewelry, and the aftercare, and they asked for consent throughout the whole process. I will definitely seek out Zasu again for future piercings!
