Rose & Dagger Tattoo — Local services in Portland

Kat is the best! I have been seeing her for a few years now, and she never fails to give me beautiful tattoos that I love. I always put my full trust in her, and I love to see what she creates with the concepts I throw at her, but she is also so good at working with people to give them EXACTLY what they’re looking for! Her lines are crisp, her hand is light, and her work holds up well over time. My dad has had a few tattoos done by various artists, but when I took him to see Kat with me for a matching tattoo, he was blown away by her work and how minimal the pain was. All of my (8) tattoos by Kat healed amazingly, and so far have not required any touch-ups. I originally got some little sticker designs from her years ago at a flash event, and she later added on to them to make them more cohesive with the other art on my arm. Even my more intricately designed ones, like my skeleton dude, have not muddied or faded over the last couple of years. The lines have remained crisp and I trust her work to not blow-out like when I have tried going to other artists. I will be a client of Kat’s for life.

I am so excited that I got to visit her this week at Rose and Dagger for this “funny bunny”! The shop is covered in amazing traditional tattoo flash designs and is staffed with some really awesome artists. I saw how much care the other artists put into the other clients while I was there, even their quick walk-in requests. I felt very comfortable in the little oasis they have created in this shop, and I can’t wait to go back again...

Holly is a fantastic Tattoo Artist. I saw someone that had a very nice tattoo, I asked her where she got it she told me the Rose and Dagger and her tattoo artist was Holly. I put that in my phone so I would not forget. A couple months later I made an appointment with Holly and I was very impressed with her attention to detail and the design she created for me. I have a few tattoos but from now on Holly is my artist.

The shop is clean nice and sanitary and they played great music and I'm 52 years old so that says something in my...

I can't speak highly enough about this shop! Holly's massively talented and will give you a one of a kind piece you can't believe exists on your body. The detail that goes into her work is unrivaled. I've had two pieces done by Holly and they won't be my last. Not only is she one of the best, if not the best, she's a stellar human. The shop and the other artists are welcoming and you can tell they're passionate about what they do. If you're deciding between shops, end your search now because you won't regret...
