I lost the ball to my piercing. It turns out I can't just buy another ball but I have to purchase a new earring. No problem. I wanted the same size and guage that I currently had. The girl who helped me with that didn't seem knowledgeable and had a hard time guessing the size of my current piercing. I left with a couple pair just to be sure. Read Less

On March 6th, 2018 I went in to "Graveyard Tattoos" to get an quote. Angie was busy with a client but called me over anyway. She gave me a quote and then asked me to look at the different artists books to see who I would like to choose to do the tattoos. I looked through them and thought Angie would fit best for what I wanted. Then I went to the counter. There was one other artist there. She was cleaning up after a client left. The counter was right next to her station but she never said anything to me. So I just left. I called the next day to make an appt. I got Angie's phone number and they asked me to text her. So I sent the text and waited. Then the next day I called and left a message for her at the shop. Still no reply from her. Then I texted her again. Still no answer from Angie. So, due to her VERY UNPROFESSIONAL behavior I decided to go to "The House of Tattoo" and they were great. I went in to check on what they would charge and I got really lucky and they ended up squeezing me in right away! I'm very happy with "The House of Tattoo". Read Less

Had 3 tattoos done here in the last couple of months. Angie is awesome! She did a great job and was super friendly. I already suggested my little brother and his girlfriend to go there. They got 6 tattoos between the 2 of them that were all fantastic as well! I will definitely come here in the future for my tattoo needs. Read Less

I got my first tattoo done there and when I called back to ask about touch ups I kept getting voicemail. So I decided to find the Facebook page and personally message both my artist and the main owner with my messages being read and ignored. How professional guys. So disappointed and will be getting touched up elsewhere Read Less

I was really nervous to get my first tattoo, and Angie was so great about it. Very clean and professional. She took the time to make sure I loved it and was willing to work with me. Sat down and it was done in 5 minutes. It looks amazing and I couldn't be happier. I'm definitely going to come back. Read Less

Angie was the best artist I could ever ask for. I got my first tattoo today and she was super welcoming and kept me relaxed and we talked to each other a lot to keep my mind off the needle and she was just perfect. I got a pink/purple/blue bird with a treble cleft in the center and music notescene throughout and she made it look so much better than I could have ever imagined. I am forever having her as my tattoo artist. Thank you Angie!!! Read Less

Bob is an awesome artist and great at what he does. I gave him some ideas for the tattoo that I wanted and he came up with an awesome drawing, much better than what I had imagined. I am only a third of the way done but am super excited with how it has turned out so far. Definitely a must visit. Read Less

Angie is the bomb!!!! I had a purple tinkerbell put on my back...she was amazing! I have Fibromyalgia which means I feel 3x's the pain normal people do. She was more than patient letting me take numerous breaks without a complaint that I was holding her up etc. I won't go anywhere else now! Read Less

This place is dirty, has no curb appeal, the homeless camp out behind the shop and come up to bum money or smokes from you. The staff is made up of only one tattoo artiest and he is not even a good one. Everyone else in the shop are students who do not know what they are doing. Bob is a really bad teacher and is just taking the students for there money. Ever since a well known person left there the shop has gone to hell. If you go to this shop be ready to over pay for a crap tattoo that will either fade out or get infected due to the shop being dirty. Read Less

I cant believe this place has ever gotten ANY kind of negative reviews. I've been tattooed in three different States; Oregon, Washington and Idaho.Graveyard is a place with some really talented artist and a clean shop. This place is also a Tatoo School, which means they are familiar with and actually follow all of the State mandated laws. Alan Freestad is an amazing artist. I have a couple of tats that are in color that I were done EXACTLY to my standard! I can not tell you how intimidating it was to go to a shop and ask for ""something specific that means so much to you, to be placed forever"" on you body. I was reasured that he could duplicate it, and it looks fantastic! Most of my tattoos are in Grey scale-black and white-and I get compliments all of the time in stores, restaurants and simply walking down the streets because of the outstanding work he does. Another perk of using Alan (and Graveyard) is-as I said before- they can duplicate anything that you want, but they are also willing, competent and able to draw up any design you can think of. I can not think of any place, or any artist that I would rather get a Tattoo from. If you dont believe me, stop by the shop and look at his work and talk to him, talk to his customers. Dont take my word. Get it from the people that he is currently Tattooing! He will do your touch up for FREE. I know, because he is currently finishing up my left sleeve and has done over 10 different Tattoos on different parts of my anatomy. Of all of the work that he has done, I have only had to have ONE touch up and that was in the crook of my elbow. His work is simply that good. Stop by and see. Read Less

I have about 5 or 6 tattoos from Graveyard and all of them have been done by Alan Freestad. I would recommend him to all of my friends. Sure he is not the happy go lucky lets all smile all the time kinda guy but he is very chill and down to earth and always makes me laugh when I'm getting my tattoos. He always makes sure I am confortable and prepared before he starts working. He is extremeley talented, the lines and color are perfect. Shading always looks amazing. He may be busy so you can't walk in and expect to get your tattoo right then and there but hes always willing to set up an appointment and be there for it. I would never say he is cheap but he has the lowest price for the highest quality. I've sent many of my friends there to get their touch ups or to get tattoos fixed that someone else messed up. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Read Less

I have been going to Graveyard to get inked for years and wont go anywhere else!Not only do both artists do high quality work they are very down to earth and fun to talk to.I went to a few shops when I first got to portland before Graveyard and the vast majority of the artists I met were stuck up snootie hipsters who charged an arm and a leg just for touchups!Alan has been the one who has done my work and I recommend him to ANYONE looking to get tattooed!He has always been very nice to me and his work is really good.I'm going to get some more work done by him when I got the cash.

I have a full sleeve that just recently got finished. I told alan i wanted a full viking sleeve and talked to him about my idea of how i wanted it and gave him free reign from there. then he got to work. 20+ hrs later..BAM.. it turned out better than i could imagine. alan does world class work for next to nothing and makes the whole experiance enjoyable. the sleeve is all black and grey. Ive been tattooed by artists all over the country and world.. literally (japan, north carolina, missouri....) this one is my favorite by far.. i imagine atleast until he does my next one..Im extremely impressed with his work. last week a very conservitave man even stopped me in line at harbor frieght and complimented how intricate and well done the tattoo looked. all credit goes to alan freestad @ graveyard tattoo.(even the ma was impressed with the artwork!!!) Hes currently working on another custom piece for me.. cant wait to get started!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GRAVEYARD!! Read Less

I have gotten my tattoos by alan and would never get a tattoo from anyone else ever. He does an amazing job and is great to be around. The atmosphere at Graveyard is like no other. People ask me all the time or they talk to me about getting a tattoo and i ALWAYS recomend Alan at Graveyard! The people are great and same goes for pricing. Dont be dissing on the GRAVEYARD!!! Read Less

I think that Alan does great work! I have never been unhappy with any of my tattoos from him. & not to mention he has the best prices, out of anyone. And to all of the people that think you can just walk into a tattoo shop with out an appointment on a weekend. you've got to be completely retarded. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! wait your turn! It's not that hard! Read Less

I already have 2 tattoos from Alan and have 3 friends that go to him as well. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo. GREAT prices meets GREAT work. First tattoo i got done was my stomach and he was very patient when i laughed because it tickled. Going to get at least 5 more from him : ) Read Less
