*WARNING: LONG RANT*I had been looking up shops to get my industrial done. I had seen this spot and read the comments and looked like a cool place to go too(I checked it before the last two comments). Decided to stop on Wednesday last week. Everything was fine. Girl at the counter was okay. Did the paperwork and talked  like it's a script she has to follow every person that walks in. But she was fine. Tells me to take a seat or will be a minute. 5 minutes passed and this guy walks in smelling like smoke and my mom made a comment I hope that's not who is going to your piercing. But unfortunately it was him. He tells me sit there on the chair and that his name is Chris. Cool, was already feeling pretty sketchy but again comments are about this guy. I tried to pull hair back and he said oh no don't worry I've done this a bunch of times. Not going to lie I was really nervous. And there he goes,cleans it super rough and then said keep breathing and did both holes in a second. I'm like wow that was fast. I'm like cool. All of sudden it starts bleeding and wouldn't stop for 5 minutes. He was sooo rough cleaning the blood, it even went down my shirt. I was so close to just yell at him and tell him take it off just because on how hard he pulling to stop the bleeding. He told me you're a bleeder. Haven't had anyone bleed so much. At this point I felt like i was about to pass out. He tell me okay all done here the sea salt and have a good day. I'm like what do I do with it. He had a mask on and talked so fast. I didn't understand one word he said and tbh i wanted to leave. As soon as I get to my car my ear starts bleeding all over again. Took us forever to control it. Alright fast forward a week I've been doing good, cleaning it and it's still swollen but nothing out of the ordinary. Until I looked at the closest hole and the bar was starting to push out. I got worried. I went to much more professional location and the man looked at it and said it's completely wrong. for an industrial this is not where you want to make the holes. Your ear won't heal right, on one side the bar is about to break cartilage since it was pierced at the edge. He told me it had migrated a lot already. I'm so upset and he said best thing I can do it take off and let heal. The new piercer was way more gentle, took it off  and was so much more informative! I can't believe I didn't come to this other place in the first placeThe last two comments posted is what happened to me. I can't assume he was on something but you never know. I will never ever come here again, and not even for a refund that beyond deserve. Read Less

Everyone was nice enough, but the guy that did my industrial was tweaking on meth and now I'm told it wasn't done correctly. I emailed the next day and complained, but nobody responded. Save your money and go to a better place. I also bought a couple pieces of jewelry and one of them doesn't even work. Would not recommend. Read Less

Terrible experience with this guy piercer. I am not sure his name but he was very rough. I think it was Chris. Didn't ask me if I liked it in that spot. Was rude and didn't tell me what was happening. I have lots of piercings and by far worst experience. He smelled like smoke and was very unprofessional. I took out one of my piercings on my ear lob because it was in my cartilage (3rd hole) and the the puss and swelling would not stop no matter how many times I cleaned it. I had it for 2 mouths and cleaned it 2-3x a day and no improvement. Now I don't have  matching ear lob piercings. I was told by another piercer  to take them out because they were not going to heal. Read Less

This is the place to go for piercings! Chris is amazing, he is very experienced, professional and quick. My grandson had two nostril piercings done and he said the pain was about the same as ear piercing which is a testament to the 20+ years experience. Thanks again Chris. Read Less

My belly button piercing is crooked since the guy went way too fast, so now my belly jewelry hangs to the left. It also formed an awful keloid even though I followed all of his instructions, but I was able to heal it after going to another piercing shop. Also took almost 8 months for my daith to heal doing what he said to do. Overall I'm not upset necessarily but a little disappointed that for as long as my navel is pierced it'll always be crooked.

It was extremely gross. I do not like how they do things AT ALL. I typically go to Paramount body Piercing and it's clear I will continue to go there. They also do 2/$25 but it can be done on 2 people!! Not here. You also cant pay to upgrade jewelry!! They dont have a piercing room, its dividers and one open room. I had my belly button pierced, I am chubbier than your average girl getting her belly button done. He didnt have me stand while marking it or anything not to mention the entire lobby is now seeing me with my shirt all the way up and my pants lowered, simply had me lay down and very quickly and very roughly did it. Now I have a belly button piercing that isn't center and its crooked!! His glasses were so tinted I could hardly see his eyes!! Do yourself a favor and drive 10 more minutes and go to paramount.

My husband and I came here today, on our anniversary to get piercings done. These guys were great! I got my nipples and cartilage done while my husband got his right nipple and his right ear pierced. They only charged just $60 total. Great deal and great service. Read Less

I want to start off saying that this is my VERY first yelp review and that should speak volumes-I first came here in July 2018 with 4 of my Friends, we all did the 2 for 25 piercing deal. I got the left side of my nose and my left conch. The first moment we came in to do paperwork, the girl we dealt with at the front desk had a bad attitude with every one of us and even snatched a paper from my hand because it "wasn't ready".  She was crass and dismissive, then with our questions made us feel stupid. We chalked it up to being the industry and dropped it. Fast forward the 6 week time period, all of our nose rings were bent and cut too long therefore were rubbing the inside of our noses. We went back 6 weeks to THE DAY, to switch them (9/20) due to them being so uncomfortable. When we went in and explained we wanted them shorted she jokingly explained she had been doing them too long "for a while", while she was better than the first time she still acted as if we were imposing on her by being there. At this point one of my friends had a significant scar bump on her nose ring- she asked what she recommended and was rude and again dismissive with her reply. When my friend explained what she had been doing and her reply was "I've never heard of that. It probably won't help." We all received our new jewelry and left.Less than two weeks later my nose had been hurting really bad and was uncomfortable to the point I had to switch to my original jewelry that was too long- I went it and paid for a long one and left.Now, today, 3 weeks later, my stud has been almost pulling through my nose overnight because it was so short. I went in and explained that this was my 3rd nose ring I have had to come out to get and asked her if I needed to pay for it- she made eye contact with me(if I could have read her mind she would have been saying are you fu***** kidding me?) gets the next size up and gives it to me and doesn't say a word.Long story short unless you know 100% what you are talking about with piercings, this girl will make you feel like you know nothing and will not make you feel welcome. I will now not ever return here even if problems arise. Hopefully I can save someone else this trouble. Read Less

I've gone to this place three times now to get a piercing. Two out of the three times were great. I can't remember the piercers names but the first time I went I got a double helix. I was sat down in a chair to get a piercing as soon as I handed over the money, no wait at all. I'm terrified of needles and pass out when I see blood and the lady piercer was very kind and talked me through it. She calmed me down and talked to me through the entire piercing process witch really helped me through the pain. The second time I went I waited for about five minutes before I was seated. This time I had a male piercer who I had read about who rushes through piercings. I explained that I was scared and all though he did rush me slightly I didn't find it bad because truly I was acting like a baby. I got my double lobes pierced this time. He pierced me super quick and got the piercings in what seemed like two minutes! He was also very funny and nice. The third time is where it went wrong. I went on a fairly busy day and the three ladies ahead of me where getting dermals which takes longer than let's say a ear piercing. I waited for around a hour and a half but that was no big deal because I had no where to be. When it was my turn I had the male piercer again and this time he was very rushed. I was getting my triple lobes done this time. He made little to no conversation and quickly pierced my ears. While putting the earrings in he proceeded to pull at the needle still in my ear closer to him which as you can imagine, hurt extremely bad. The piercings itself didn't hurt but because it was so busy and he was rushing it caused him to pull at my ears and even caused them to drip blood onto my shoulders. I had never had a problem with their store or piercers before then. All my piercings healed beautifully but the triple lobes are still slightly irritated when touched and bleed sometimes. It's been around five months after I got those piercings and from what I've heard they still shouldn't be bleeding but then again everyone's body is different. I would recommend this store for someone who's looking for some cheap piercings like I was. The quality exceeds the price as I think the jewelry is very nice looking. I would definitely recommend going on a day when few to no people are there just to avoid the possibility of being rushed! Read Less

Came in to get a double helix on both ears after years of wanting to do it. Staff were friendly and accommodating, but I had to come back later in the day as I noticed that the piercings in one ear were asymmetrical from the other. They offered to re-pierce, but my ear hurt too much at that point. So, I had those two taken out. I was disappointed, but my other ear looks great. Hannah was very nice and made me feel comfortable while she was removing the piercings.I would reccomend asking to mark the areas before piercing to ensure they're in the right place. Read Less

I came here today to get my nose re-pierced and a belly button piercing. I’m overall really happy with my experience. The older lady with glasses, and the younger lady with the purple hair who were upfront were super friendly and made me feel welcome. The male piercer was pretty quick doing both peircings, I believe his name was Chris. He pierced my belly button and I didn’t even know it was already finished. I personally think he was sort of rough putting the jewelry in, but nothing terrible. He seemed in a rush and he also didn’t offer me the sea salt for cleaning, and had to be reminded by the purple haired girl (I hate calling her that but I don’t remember her name) but hey, we’re all human and forget things sometimes 😊 I’d come back for my future piercing needs and I would refer my friends to come here for theirs! Shop seemed very clean, and I loved the friendly vibe. Read Less

I love this place these people are wonderful mother-son Duo they've been doing this for years Rainbow Magic Magic Rainbow Troutdale piercing now Multnomah piercings keep up the good work I've been going to guys since I was 16 you guys do such a great job!!!!!!! Read Less

Popped in because I just needed a replacement for my lost nose ring. The sales person didn't try to upsell me at all. I was in and out in about 5 min. and wore my nose ring right out of the store. Shop was clean, comfortable, had a great selection of jewlery and good music playing. Great place, I'll be back. Read Less

By far my absolute favorite place to get pierced! Very professional, clean, always willing to help answer all my questions! I got my septum, navel, normal nose piercing(2 of them side by side). Will always go here for all my tattoo and piercing needs! Read Less

I’m sad , thought this place would be great from the reviews but when I️ was done with my naval piercing and my nose piercing my naval is okay but my nose ring is litterally bent past each other. I️ called about I️t and was just told that they do that sometimes to have I️t tight which makes no sense because I’ve never seen any other place do that and the guy was super rough and he was rushing really fast throwing stuff around and he just seemed more worried about going outside on a break and he kept leaving other peoples piercings to go outside to talk on his phone, also while he was piercing my nose right before he put the needle in he was talking about how he pierced the girls nose and he messed up and went through the girls septum. Read Less

So I went in to get my lip piercing, and the piercer was not only a dick but he used his clean gloves, to touch his phone screen, didn’t change his gloves, then pierced my lip. Not very professional and he was just kid of cocky. Ehh, got the job done. Read Less

The staff here are amazing! Chris pierced my daughter's ears so fast, I almost didn't see it! She barely flinched and he will change her rings out for free on 8 weeks! HUGE selection of beautiful jewelry. You won't be disappointed by visiting! Read Less

I got my left nostril pierced here a few years back, and when I saw their 2/$25 deal I was super excited. At first I was a bit sceptical when reading reviews, but thought that since it was a good price, I'd risk it and get some new holes in my face. The shop was very clean, the staff were so friendly and helpful, and it was very quick. It didn't even hurt as bad as I thought it would, thanks to the numbing cream my piercer used. Read Less

We were impressed.After calling several places for quotes, we decided to come here for my daughter's ear piercings. Located right off of Hogan and Division the parking lot here is somewhat crowded during peak hours. We were able to find parking a little ways down from the shop. We were greeted right when we stepped in the door and the salesperson was able to answer all of our questions having to do with pricing, maintenance of the piercing and healing time. My wife chatted up the person working at the counter and we learned this was a family owned business and that was somewhat newly opened.The place was well maintained with plenty of seating as we waited for the piercings to be completed. They had a good selection of other jewelry and the prices were easy to see. My daughter had 2 regular ear piercings completed on each ear. The price is very competitive and there is a slight discount for the second piercing. There was a little lounge area with comfortable chairs and a TV. It was a nice touch to the place. Overall, we had a great experience and would not hesitate coming back here. The workers were able to answer all our questions and concerns and the prices for everything was made clear. We were also provided with information on caring for the piercing. Great family owned business. Read Less

Such an amazing experience these are true professionals that welcome you and make you feel part of their family you must come here please. Thank you Chad for your wonderful experience and we will be back very soon probably next week we appreciate your kindness and skill Read Less

Very very disappointed. I went in tonight to get some new jewelry, and get it put in. The purchase process goes well enough, even though the woman helping me was helping another person at the same time, and half ignoring me, I was able to find what I wanted and purchase it. I ask if I can have the jewelry put in, and the woman behind the counter says they can, it'll just be a moment as both their chairs are full and they just need to empty one so I can be helped. Okay, no big deal, I go sit and wait. For forty minutes. Watching at least one group who arrived after me go back, and then I hear a number called, and somebody else goes back. So, I go up to ask what's up, I didn't get a number, didn't even realize I needed one. So, the woman behind the counter says, oh, I totally forgot about you, that's on me, and then offered to get me into a chair next, I told her I had things to do, errands to run, and I couldn't wait around, so she offered to do it right then and there herself, but she was the only person behind the counter at that point, and the way she was holding herself and acting made it seem like I was inconveniencing her, for her mistake. I wasn't going to ask her to do it. She offered that I come in on Tuesday, their next open day. Did I mention that my birthday is tomorrow, and I wanted to change them out for my birthday? That idea was ruined right then and there. I'm not the type of person who likes to have a scene made around them, and how lightly she took wasting 40 minutes of my time really irritated me. I work in customer service, and I would never respond to a customer in that way, especially in that situation. You can't just forget about customers. I never want to go back. I'm looking for another location that can change my jewelry for me. What a terrible experience. :( Read Less

I went in yesterday to have my nose double pierced. Chris was quick and gave me really good customer service. The hoop he used was too big and offered to change it for free if I came back the following day (today). I went back in and he felt bad that I had to go through getting it changed (it was more painful than the piercing itself), and he gave me a card for a free jewelry/change after it is healed in 2 months. Even though it hurt, and I am sitting here icing my nose as I type, the great customer service made it so much better! I will be back and with an extra tip for Chris. Read Less

I drove an hour one way to come here. Initially they got my attention because they were having an awesome sale on piercings. Then I checked the reviews and they were awesome! I'm so glad this is where my five year old got her ears pierced at!! Walking in, the girl at the front was so friendly! They even have toys here to keep the kids busy while you get a quick piercing done yourself. They have a huge assortment of jewelry too. The huge thing you'll notice is how clean the establishment is! No sticky seats, or floors! Even the bathroom was super clean! Chris wore gloves AND a mask while doing piercings. The biggest thing for me was they both made sure my daughter was comfortable and they made sure it was HER  decision to get her ears pierced. They let me know if at any time she changed her mind he wouldn't do it. No kicking and screaming kid here ! They even let my daughter pick a prize necklace after getting her ears pierced. I will most definitely be back for myself! Keep up the great work guys! Seems like you have a killer team! Read Less

My middle child has wanted his ears pierced for three years so we finally did it a few days before his 9th birthday. I did a Google search and this one was the closest to where I was shopping so we stopped by. They had a 2/$25 piercing (don't know if this is a special or ongoing) and that was a nice surprise. They have an impressive jewelry selection, so I picked up a tongue barbell for myself. The staff was very quick and professional, he was in the chair for less than 5 minutes. We will definitely be going back for future piercings! Read Less

Chris is an amazing piercer!!! Justice is an awesome apprentice and is going to make an absolute phenomenal piercer as well! Chad is a killer tattoo artist and awesome person! Check these guys out! I wouldn't go anywhere else for piercings and tattoos in Portland!!!! Read Less

I took my niece in on June 20, 2017 for a piercing and I must say that they were very busy, but I found their customer service lacking, so much so that the next day I called and spoke with Cheryl about it. The reason why I am writing this review is because even after speaking with her I feel like that I just got a lot of excuses, things that as a business owner she should be taken care of, as a customer I shouldn't worry that he's having a bad day, or that he's overworked and they're understaffed. I'm they're paying money to have an experience with my niece. Their customer service was shabby and poor, because of these reasons that she should be taken care of, not me, I shouldn't even know about them, I should be made to feel like I'm his very first customer and that's what retail therapy is for. I'm not supposed to be making him feel good, he's supposed to be making me feel good, so I won't be going back. I found the customer service lacking and when I called to talk about it, I just felt like she was full of excuses things that she should be taken care of. Read Less

I had three piercings done here today. The process felt extremely rushed by my piercer who was very rude to me when I explained how I felt. Instead of apologising and helping me feel comfortable he told me he was in a hurry and claimed to not understand why his rushing and lack of sensitivity made me feel uncomfortable. He did not walk me through the procedure or ask if I was ready before he grabbed my face and stuck the needle real close to me... I am used to patient pierce...rs that understand the procedures can be scary sometimes. My piercer did not discuss with me the size/gauge of my piercings before piercing me and ended up piercing my nostril with the wrong size piercing. The woman at the counter offered to put a proper sized one in and also offered me two of the correct size piercings half price which is good however when I took the offer she did not handle the jewellery with any gloves or sterile tools when she gave them to me. My friend was also pierced today and was given two different sized piercings in her cartilage too, one being too small for proper healing/swelling room. See More Read Less

I came here to get a few piercings done and the man that was my piercer barely spoke to me and grabbed my face quickly without warning to give my piercing. He was frantically unpacking the jewellery and needles which was very stressful to me and when I mentioned this he acted very rude and told me it was because he was so busy. This place should be appointment based if it is going to impact how piercers interact with their clients. He kept telling me that he "couldn't see why I was stressed". Every time I have had a piercing my piercer is very deliberate and careful with the needles and jewellery, they talk me through the process and help me feel comfortable and not rushed. My friend also got some piercings today and she is unhappy with the placement and jewellery size which she was never given an chance to review before being pierced. The piercings themselves were done very well apart from one of my pieces of jewellery being the wrong size. I was offered a correctly sized piece of jewellery for half price which was great however the woman helping me did not use gloves or tools while handling my jewellery after touching money.. Overall the piercings themselves are great, however the customer service and attitude of the piercier is unprofessional and uncomfortable. Read Less

I think the shop owner Sheryl is the one who did my nipple piercings but not 100% sure... anywho she made it a breeze and calmed my nerves SO MUCH and it was also very quick! So happy I finally grew the balls to get them done and to have met such a sweet woman to talk me through it! Will definitely be coming back for my other piercings or jewelry! � Read Less

I had a wonderful chat with my piercer today, she was very kind and funny. Got my third and fourth lobe pierced on each side. I love this place and felt so relaxed. I'd like to get my first tattoo here as well. Will be back when my ears heal Read Less

I took my daughter, Amber, in for her 18th birthday. The lady that pierced her was super meticulous, fast and made sure everything was clean and sterile. The pricing was so unbelievably inexpensive and the jewlery great quality. I don't think I could say enough good thing about our experience here. The customer service from the counter help was fantastic. I've already recommended this place to a friend. Read Less

I didn't want to write a negative review, but it has to be done. On April 22nd 2017, I went in to meet with Ryan to do my Monkey tattoo. This tattoo meant the world to me, I spent two years after my daughters stroke searching for the perfect Monkey in her honor. Finally I had it, it was to be her forever Monkey. The one that would possibly go on her headstone if she were to eventually leave because of her many health issues! Long story short, Ryan botched my tattoo. Instead... of making both ears & the body parts match with the color tan. He made ONE ear colored in BLACK!!! one ear!!! I gave him not only a picture to go off of, but VERY clear instructions!!! My heart broke, horrible mistake!!! It's not an easy fix, the ear has to covered over with something else. Which isn't what I wanted. I have to now spend more money trying to fix Ryan's mistake!!! I repeatedly tried asking Ryan (politely) for some sort of a refund to help pay for his error. I was in no way going to let him touch my tattoo again, I couldn't imagine a further screw up. Ryan declined my request, ignored me & regardless how many times I was polite sharing how upset I was. He didn't care & further ignored me. I am in no way upset​ at the owner of the shop or other employees. It isn't their fault. It's Ryan's!!! Please be aware. Don't get your heart broke by this tattoo artist!!! See More Read Less

This is my shop. I think it is the best. We certainly try the hardest and have the most experience. We use the best jewelry and do the best work. 2 piercing for $25 is a great deal. 10 years ago we were charging $40 for a navel piercing and $60 for Nipples. We are willing to work harder and give our clients a good deal. We also will help you with your piercings for as long as it takes to get them to heal. Sometimes our clients might not be doing their salt water soaks right. We can help you figure out how to take care of your piercing. Small mistakes can lengthen the healing process. Give us a chance to help you. We have found the studs in gun piercings are too short for most people. We have a longer stud that is nickle free and will help you heal. thank you, sheryl wheeler Read Less

My best friend and I came there for matching Tattoos Bryan (our artist) did an amazing job! He made sure the drawing and placement was right, he was great to talk to. He worked fast especially on the areas that were more sensitive to us. The price was good. Overall we are in love with the work he did and will be going back for our future Tattoo's. Thank you so much for our lifetime of Art <3 We are very happy we chose you to go to. Read Less

Went in to buy some good jewelry for my ears and belly button and ended up leaving with 3 new holes in my ear. Paid $35 for three cartalige piercings. They look great and the piercer was super quick, but the first two are spaced well and the third one is further from the other two. Looks funny but I really don't want to go through the pain of having it re-done. Besides that, the piercer was very comforting and informed me of everything and told me how to contact them if anything came up. Everyone in the shop was awesome. Read Less

Got my labret pierced here a few years back and just got my septum pierced. My septum was pierced too low and through the cartilage, making it very painful. I called and spoke with Sheryl to see if i could come in and have it re-pierced in the right spot. She was very polite and offered to redo it at no cost. I specifically requested her this time and she was very supportive and the piercing was close to painless. Great customer service from her, if you go in i recommend she do your piercing, she did an excellent job. Read Less

I've gotten 8+ piercings here from both Cheryl and Chris and they've all turned out amazing! Both are extremely friendly and make the experience as painless as possible. All piercings are a better deal than other shops and the quality is top of the line! They also have a large selection of jewelry Read Less

Could not recommend enough! I have gotten multiple piercings here, and each one has turned out better than I imagined. Their piercing staff is always so efficient yet gentle that it's practically painless since it's over so quick. And their prices are amazing, especially for how high quality their service is!! I definitely will never be getting a piercing done anywhere else Read Less

I highly recommend that you DO NOT GO HERE!!!! We have been going here for years for piercings and jewelry. After being recommended for tattoos a well, my daughter decided to contact tattoo artist Kent and set up a consultation. Went well, they discussed what she wanted and price range. After emailing back and forth, reviewing the sketch that Kent drew up, changing some things and taking some details out so that they could specifically stay within the price range she said she could do, they set the appointment. Thirty minutes before 'end' time, he says that he will not be able to finish it all and that it will take another hour and another $100 dollars. He asks her if she would like to schedule for another day when she will be able to have the other money. What was she supposed to say?? No, I already told you that I could only spend x amount, so I guess we'll just leave the tattoo unfinished. Needless to say, my young, shy daughter felt pressured to agree and gave him more money and they finished the tattoo. I sat on all of this for a few weeks and finally decided to stand up and say something to the shop owner, Sheryl and Kent himself. Kent was unavailable, so I spoke with Sheryl. She was evasive and wishy-washy about the whole issue and felt that it was justified. I strongly disagree and will NEVER, EVER take my business back to that shop, nor will I ever recommend it again. Kent is unprofessional and it is not the way to run a business. If you have tattooed long enough, you know your skill level and about how long it will take. If he felt that it was going to take longer than originally thought and more money, then he should have said so up front and not waited until almost finished. Rude. Read Less

I've had two tattoos done here, one by Heather and the other by Kent. Both have turned out great, they were reasonably priced and they honored their free touch-up promise for fresh ink. Heather was very understanding during my first tattoo experience and Kent was open about voicing different outlining/shading possibilities that could be done to make my tattoo stand out the way I wanted. They were finished in an extremely awkward silence (aside from "business"), but I loved how they turned out. The only thing that puts me off about this shop is their customer service. When I stop by, I usually need to fight tooth and nail to grab someone's attention, even if I'm the only customer in the shop. When I do, they usually run off while I'm still mid-sentence and I have to try and grab their attention... again. Read Less

you ever wonder why a shop would not post photos or a link to their portfolio? Or why ""the best piercing shop in portland"" (which seems to be in troutdale by the way,) Would have huge displays of pipes and bongs? or better yet their artist and piercers smell strangely like burning ""weed"" Their work speaks for itself that's why its bad enough that they know better that to post it, or even better why the majority of the 5 star reviews are written by the owners or their family? Check portfolios and the professionalism of your artist before you get work from anyone, and check several places first, because if this is the first and only place you go to to get permanent marks on your body you will regret it, I know this from personal experience and the experiences of others that have been harmed by these people Read Less

- Horrible customer service. - Unprofessional. - Poor work. Had my tragus done here at Troutdale Body Piercing & Tattoo by Chris Wheeler and I was not impressed one bit. He rushed the piercing and the aftercare.The jewelry he put in was an externally threaded curved barbell of which I've had the beads fall off many times. The placement of the piercing is off and the hole done at an angle. I will never go back to them again. There are many better options out there for us. Stay clear of these guys! Read Less

So i was really excited to go to this place after reading all of the great reviews it had, so i decided to get my nipples pierced there last night. was kinda taken back by the lack of customer service skills the two workers had. The girl only awnsered my questions with basic reponses and the guy piercing me was no better, i was terrified to get my nipples pierced and niether one tried to be personable. I felt the place was a wham, bam, thank you ma'me type of place. dont know bout everyone else but when i go in and spend 60$ on piercing then 15 on extras i would like to feel that they appreiciate my bussiness a little more.

There is no other shop that I have ever been to that appreciates their customers as much as this shop. They truly are an institution! They go above and beyond for their customers and love everyone. I suggest you take a look at their website and leave a comment there for them if you have any feedback or questions. You can always give them a call as well :) Affiliation: my mom owns this shop.

I have had my ears pierced several times at Troutdale Tattoo and have had jewelry custom made too. I have always been impressed with the owner and most recently Kent. Kent covered up a tattoo for me and I was very impressed with his work and patience. He got the drawing of the tattoo just right and went back several times to make changes for me. I am so happy with my new tattoo and have no plans of ever covering this one up!! He did a touch up for me at no cost. The price I paid for the cover up was not enough for his professional and amazing work. Read Less

I know that Kent has gotten a lot of praise in the past reviews and to be quite honest, it's well deserved. I came in for one tattoo and we got to discussing future tattoos. I brought in a general design of what I wanted, we discussed a couple of ideas and he spent many long hours coming up with a custom design that more than took my breath away. It has quickly become my favorite tattoo, as I have many... and I've been stopped on the street or in the store more times than I can count because people want to know who did it. Kent is real, and honest (and VERY quiet) and he's not cocky or arrogant or just a flat out a**hole like most other tattoo artists are. I appreciate what he's done for me.... and I appreciate even more that he didn't make me go broke doing it. I've never had someone so reasonable before. So as far as the tattooing goes... I'd recommend him anyday. Read Less

I love this place! Kent has done all four of my tattoos and I've only had to have one touched up after two years! He does wonderful work and they always heal beautifully. He also does exactly what I'm looking for. He doesn't try to change it unless he's trying to clean it up by making the drawing sharper; truly an amazing artist. I've gotten almost all of my friends to go to him and they are always, always impressed.He's a very fair price too! Go check them out if you've been searching for somewhere to go Read Less

I had a great experience with Kent at Magic Rainbow/Troutdale Tattoo. From start to finish I got personalized service that made me feel confident in the work I was paying for. I was very pleased with the communication from Kent during the design proccess. He definitely exceeded my expectations! I've had poor work done by other artists in the past so I was not only nervous about the pain (wah), but also nervous about the end result. When I walked out of the shop, I was VERY PLEASED! I swear Kent has a light hand because I felt minimal pain and not only that, I LOVE the work. Plus, it's been 3 weeks now and I still love it! :) I will be back! Read Less

I've had my nose pierced here and my entire lower back tattooed by Kent. When I went in and showed him what I wanted he pulled his notepad out on the spot and started sketching. Within a couple minutes he had perfectly sketched exactly what I had in mind. He's a genius. He is also not scary at all like most Tattoo artists that you see. He kept me calm and let me take a break when he knew I needed one. He's very friendly and I will never have anyone else tattoo me. The prices are the best in town, and the Artwork is top of the line.

I can't believe that anyone could have anything negative to say about this shop. I have been treated with nothing but respect and I have been going for a while. That said, right from the start I was comfortable. Sheryl has pierced me many times. Chris has done a few and not to mention the quality of Master Kent's Tattoos. I have had a lot of work from him done and I have never had any regrets. I have gone to other shops and have had problems and had to get one tattoo covered with roses and I am seriously considering covering another but none of these were done by Kent. He has always been proffesional and I had him tattoo my face. You really have to trust someone to let them tattoo on your face. I will be going in soon for a tattoo on my neck and my daughter's first tattoo as a graduation present. We are so excited! Keep Rockin Kent! Read Less

I was so nervous when I got my first tattoo but Kent was awesome. He walked my through everything he was gonna do and even let me take a break before he did the coloring. He made the design I brought in even better and suggested colors for me too. In the end my tattoo came out great! I am totally going back there for my next one! Read Less

When i came in to magic rainbow tattoo to speak with chris wheeler about an email he sent to me there seemed to be a misunderstanding in our communication below is the message i recieved from chris wheeler on friday morning. Before this email i have had no contact with him for over a year and a half and had no idea he had any animosity towards me. When i aproached him he seemed belligerent and confrontational over matters between him and a shop which i am contracted to work for which i have no control over or involvement in. I asked him to stop slandering me and he became more agitated and the police where called. I had not broken any laws and left when impolitely told to leave. I see filing a frivolous police report against me as defamation. He then called the owner of the business i work for and made claims that i was unprofessional in his business and threatened him. which is slander that effects my business. So i will plainly state that if mr. wheeler in any way in the future slanders or defames my character. I will contact my attorney and seek legal action against him. I hope this issue is now resolved ----------------- Original Message ----------------- From: Chris Wheeler To: Paul Date: May 22, 2009 12:55 AM Subject: f*** you go back to prison you s***. stars added to avoid profanity but you get the idea Read Less

I have gotten my last 3 tattoos at the Magic Rainbow done by Kent. My previous tattoos were done out of state, so I had high expectations. And every one of them was met. I found Kent to be very professional. He was willing to work with me on my designs..offering suggestions on what might make it better. His working area was very clean and all the equipment was opened before me. I could not of chose a better artist! The Magic Rainbow staff was friendly and the entire shop clean. If you are going for a piercing, Sheryl did a great job on my industrial. Read Less

I just recently got my nose pierced and a tattoo here and I love it! The people here are so friendly and always willing to help. Their pricing is very reasonable and they have a lot of jewelery to choose from. I would recommend this place if your looking for great service and reasonable prices. Read Less

I've known a few people that got tattoos and piercings done at magic rainbow and i'll have to admit i will never ever go there. First of all my last friend that went there got her septum pierced and they messed it up and had to repierce it on the spot...talk about painful. Then the idiot guy that did the piercing was so immature and smelled like alcohol. They are very unprofessional and i would never..i mean never go there!!!!!! Even the owner doesn't know anything!
