I had Ryan ink me up. Absolute pro, very interesting conversation, the music playing on the radio was awesome, and all staff were incredibly friendly! My tattoo is perfect, too! Ryan helped put my vision into a presentable sleeve piece that I am proud to wear! Excellent establishment!!! Read Less

The artists here are phenomenal. The staff is very professional and takes the time to get you exactly what you want. I am currently working with Dominick on a back piece, and so far the results are incredible. The work I've seen from the other artists is also very impressive.Read Less

Great people with a spectrum of varied talents; have seen some great guest artists here as well. Friendly staff, great work, good location - especially if you need to grab a bite before or after getting some work done. Read Less

Great tattoo shop. My friend and I went in on a walk in yesterday to get matching tattoos and they were very flexible about scheduling us. I called in the morning and then emailed back and forth with the artist (Coleman) to discuss the design. When we got there he had it stenciled out and was very patient about changing the little things we wanted and placement etc. The shop was clean and everyone was nice, relaxed and helpful. Read Less

Working on my half sleeve with Dominick. His line work, and tattoo work in general, is absolutely incredible. I get compliments on this tattoo every time I leave the house. The shop is clean, and every other person I have interacted with there is friendly and helpful. Read Less

I had the awesome experience of meeting Hanam back when he was at his last shop. He designed a custom forearm piece for me. The experience of working with Hanam is nothing less then great- not only does he create beautiful pieces of art, it was also the easiest tattoo I've ever gotten. I can't wait to continue my work with him!! :) Read Less

I walked in on a whim and was serviced immediately by a really nice tattoo artist named Hanam. We did a consultation to get an idea of what I desired. He free hand sketched out the design then reviewed it with me for my satisfactory approval. Just seeing the outline alone, I knew something fabulous was in the making. My session lasted for nearly 4 hours. He kept me laughing throughout! The finished design is a MASTERPIECE! I absolutely LOVE it! I'll definitely return in 4-6 weeks to get my color retouched.

Esoteric!! Wow! The shop is clean and friendly with a comfortable atmosphere. The artist are talented and interested in their craft. This shop is a breath of fresh air. Dom has been doing my tattoos for over 8 years. I appreciate his attention to detail and outstanding artistic skill.. If you want a large extravagant piece or just want to walk in and get a little something. This is the place. This is the only place I mention to family and friends. Thanks Esoteric... You are the gold standard Read Less

Great customer service, phenomenal artists and peircing artist. I've gotten several tattoos from here and they always go way above and beyond. I've had some very bad experiences with peircings and tattoos and this shop has renewed my enthusiasm. Great cover ups, sand a willingness to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend getting at least a consultation before your next body mod. Dominick Macintosh is a prodigy that you don't want to miss getting work from. Seriously Read Less

I can confidently say that my search for a tattoo shop is over! This place is excellent! Dominick and his staff are all passionate about what they do and it shows in every tattoo they do. I presented a concept to Dominick along with my thoughts on what I wanted. He came up with a drawing that drastically exceeded my expectations. I knew that if I let him take control of the creative end of things, he would come up with something better than anything I could have possibly imagined. This is exactly what happened! I will never go anywhere else and I'm looking forward to using Esoteric Tattoo on my next tattoo later this fall. Please do yourself a favor and go there! Read Less

The commitment to their craft is amazing! Dominick and the other artists at Esoteric tattoo take pride in their work and it shows in every tattoo they do. They will listen carefully to your ideas at the consultation meeting and they will create an original art piece that will exceed your expectations. The shop is clean and the people are nice. I recently got tattooed there and I can say with confidence that I will never go anywhere else. Read Less

Dominick is the best. He's a nice guy, a smart dude, a family man, and a damn good artist. I've always came into the shop with the most batshit crazy ideas I could come up with and he always delivers. He's done my pirate ship in space with a skull planet. A blue buffalo neo-trad tattoo that's getting shot by arrows and stuff. And now he just did the first session on a skeleton riding a motorcycle racing from an atomic blast. They are all f*cking badass tattoos.On top of being a really capable artist, he's just a cool dude to hang out with for a night. No pretense and nothing bad to say about the guy. As a somewhat extreme introvert this is really key for me. On another note the shop really has a better feel to it than dead gods. The other artists at esoteric all give off good vibes and I'm following their instagrams to see if I get inspired to get something from them. Keep it up!5/5. Read Less

Dominick is an awesome artist. He does amazing designs and I love how well he works with the colored ink, the colors on my half sleve are vibrant and it pops out. I love my tattoo and I get alot of compliements and quiestions about it. Not only is Dom a good artist hes also really chill and easy to talk to which make the anxiety I get right before the tattos much easier to deal with. I cant wait to get another tattoo done by him. I just cant decided on what Id like to get yet. Read Less

Dominick is the man. His command of black and grey shading, and the accuracy of his portraits are what first led me to believe he could ink what I had in mind. I knew it wasn't the most difficult piece, but I wanted it to be as close to the original as possible. I came to him with my idea and a subtle change I wanted to make, and he slayed it. I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Definitely coming back to give Dominick some more freedom on the next one. Read Less

I met Dominic after our bands played on the same bill a few times. I'd been looking for a really good tattoo artist for a long time. I'm a visual artist myself so I always wanted to find a great tattooer that was also a great artist. Dominic is this person. I volunteered for a "grey skull special" he was offering and went in with no idea what I was going to get. I just knew it was going to be awesome because it was Dominic and it turned out beyond awesome I would say. Couldn't be happier. He does absolutely amazing work and is a wicked smart, great guy to boot. I highly recommend Esoteric Tattoo! Read Less

I met Dominick when he was at Dead Gods in Tigard. I was stoked that he wanted to take on my project because I knew he'd be a perfect fit. I couldn't be happier with the design and the way it's progressing. It's a full back piece so we've got quite a ways to go and so far it's been a great experience. Dominick is super talented, professional and hella fun to hang out with. All of the artists at Esoteric are creative and talented. And the bonus is they treat you like family whilst working on a unique piece of art just for you. Highly recommend!! Read Less
