Jessica is the most amazing gal and an outstanding tattoo artist! No one does fine line better than her. She is a gem!

I've had all three of my tattoos done at this shop! I absolutely love the atmosphere and how welcoming the artists are. Kati Green did my first and also my most recent tattoo. I'm completely head over heals with the floral piece she did for me. She is passionate, creative and just a comes across as a genuinely good person. She checks in with you through the entire process and was so easy to work with especially since I come from too far away to do an in person consultation. Can't wait to go back 😍

Kati Green was awesome! I got my second tattoo in a bit of a painful area but she asked how I was doing and was very sweet. She responded and got me booked quickly and did a great job. Parking was a little tough but that's just Portland. I'll definitely be back!

I got my first tattoo at Blue Ox with Kati Green, and I can't recommend Blue Ox and Kati enough. Kati was friendly, easy to talk to, and an all around amazing artist. I love my tattoo and so excited to have something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Cleaning instructions were easy to understand. And the rest of the staff was welcoming and friendly.

I got my first tattoo (recently turned 18) done here by Kati and she did such a lovely job. I could not be happier with how it turned out; the linework and the colors are incredible. The shop itself has a welcoming environment and all the other artists there were very friendly to me during my visit. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone and would gladly get tattooed here again.

Lovely people, lovely bathroom, overall great experience. I spent about five hours with Jared Hunter and would absolutely recommend him, he was charming and I felt we communicated well about the tattoo. Although I was getting tattooed in an intimate area he made me feel comfortable with him. No privacy though, the artists do not have individual rooms. I often felt very exposed to the other customers in the shop.

Well-kept shop, welcoming environment, artistic vibes. Sarah Carr is pricey for her actual skill level. I found out she has little experience, a very heavy hand, and is very, very slow (charged by hour at that...) I have several tattoos and a full sleeve so I have a lot of experiences to compare. I have also been tattooed on the same part/other side of my body and that experience was considerably better pain wise, healing, and cost. If you can speed up and alter your technique you can take more clients and won’t need to charge a ton. I know good tattoos cost good money; I have paid more per hour and had no complaint. The tattoo piece itself was exactly what I wanted but I definitely don’t feel the need to go back. It’s not just about the art, it’s about the service. And please, if you are going to charge that much invest in a nice adhesive breathable tattoo bandage like Second Skin to offer your clients instead of paper towels, tape, and Saran Wrap. I haven’t had that kind of wrap-up in years and it didn’t heal very well, mostly having to do with her heavy, slow hand causing unusually large scabs. I follow excellent aftercare guidelines.
Giving 3 stars because I don’t think entire shop deserves a bad rep, but this is still a warning about mentioned artist.

I got 3 small tattoos from Frankie last week and I LOVE THEM! She was so nice and gave me the best tattoos i’ve ever gotten. Favorite tattoos i have by far. Great place, great people!

Kati is an amazing artist. We corresponded via email, CA - OR for a couple of months, met, did my tattoos' and they were beyond perfect. Kati definitely puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows. I have NEVER received so many compliments on my body art before, she is a master at her craft. I am exclusively using her for any other art work I get on my body again. Plus, everyone else at the shop is so wonderful and kind, not to mention they offer the best lollipops to the waiting patrons : )
