I've been wanting to get a tattoo for sometime but with so many options, I wasn't sure who to go to. My best friend has been getting a large back tattoo that she's been really happy with and recommended Victoria. I checked out her website and was quite impressed with her work.  I came in with an idea and a few pictures and left the rest in her hands. She came back with a drawing that was almost exactly what I had in mind. With a couple minor tweeks we were off. Victoria was great to work with; very friendly and personable. I now have a custom tattoo that I love! I will definitely come back to Victoria for my next tat. Read Less

I came to Victoria randomly for my first large piece, and I was so lucky to have been given to her very capable hands. We have similar interests and share certain ascetics. I knew I had found someone who would translate my vision and steer me in the right path.Victoria is very detail oriented and leaves no stone unturned. In our latest piece, she was very patient with me as I worked through what it was I wanted. Victoria is great at taking all design elements into account and using the area of the body to enhance the piece. Her studio is immaculate and very organized. Now she has her own space, so it is just her. For my first piece, she was working out of other studios in town, which was fine, but having the privacy is great. Victoria is very calming and great to chat with while she works. Her comprehensive before and after care rules are responsible for a pleasurable experience and my pieces healing beautifully. She is very dedicated to her craft, and it shows in every aspect of the process.I can't wait to go back for more. Read Less

I did a lot of research before choosing an artist to create my first tattoo.  Victorias  work stood out because it is intricate, and stunning.   She has her own studio, which is comfortable, and private.  She put me at ease, listening closely to what I wanted, and  then drawing the perfect design!She is very attentive to clients.  As a first timer, she was very clear with me about the process and what to expect.  I got a fairly large and involved piece for my first tattoo.  It took multiple sittings, and she never rushed me.  She's also very interesting as a person; a real pleasure to get to know.End result:  a stunning tattoo that I'm sure I'll live for the rest of my life.  Thanks Victoria!

I've been a client of Victoria's for about 3 years, and she has done gorgeous work on my entire back, both shoulders and upper arms, as well as both calves. What I love best about Victoria is that she listens. She hears what you want to have done and makes it happen in a beautiful and professional way. Her workspace is spotless and bright, and she lets you choose the music you like best. She does her best to make you feel comfortable with a not-so-comfortable activity. I love her website and blog. The stories behind the tattoos are so inspirational. We are so lucky to have her here in Portland, OR; with her artistic talent, she could easily work anywhere she wants. Read Less

I had several tattoos prior to finding Victoria.  I will never go to anyone else again.  She is a great artist (she was a graphic designer for many years prior to becoming a tattoo artist).  She is careful and thoughtful and truly interested in her craft.  She is thorough and her shop is immaculate.  And a great conversationalist to boot!

I decided to get my very first tattoo at Floating Lotus Tattoo after seeing Victoria's beautiful works of art on her website. I was immediately impressed with her nature and yoga themed pieces and loved that she does custom work. i was looking for something very specific and having never had a tattoo before, i was nervous about the whole process. I felt comfortable with Victoria at first meeting. She was very professional and i noticed her space was very clean and sanitized. I'm a total germaphobe so this was very important to me. She walked me through the whole process from start to finish explaining what would happen next at each phase. We did two sittings - the black outline and then the color - and each was a great experience. When we were finished, she even asked me to be her May Feature of the Month, which I gladly agreed. I am so happy with my piece. Victoria does beautiful work and she made the whole process fun and enjoyable and made sure to capture exactly what i was looking for in my tattoo. I highly recommend her! Read Less
