Historic Tattoo - Portland Tattoo Shop

I came in very near to closing looking for a small flash. The gal that helped me pick was amazing. Very kind and gave me several books to choose from. She was also really good about the sign in stuff. I waited maybe 15 minutes and got a lovely little spider tattoo from Adam who was at the end of his day and didn't need to squish me in but did and im so happy with my new little tattoo. He gave me some great advice on placement and I couldn't be happier. I loved the friendly atmosphere. It seems like a good vibe in the shop. I will definitely be coming back .

Girlfriend got a tattoo for Friday the 13th(and her birthday coincidentally) from Tony. He was awesome, friendly and quick! Tattoo looks great! Thanks Tony!

I’ve gotten tattooed here many times across different tattooers over the years & it’s always friendly, knowledgeable & professional. also, it’s generally more fun as far as shops go. everyone seems to actually like each other there & it definitely adds to the overall experience & vibe while you’re there! photos are from some tattoos by Brad Delay, healed & settled, still love them! 🥰

Krystian is so amazing! He’s done a ton of work on my husband and has done two tattoos for me this month! He’s super personable, a great artist and his practice is very clean and organized! The shop is awesome, everyone is super nice! I highly recommend Krystian and Historic!

I visited historic tattoo for the first time last weekend and it is definitely one of my favorite shops that ive ever been to. The staff and artists were all super nice and they have some really cool options when it comes to picking a flash tattoo. The shop is cozy and the music was good. Let me just highlight one more time that everyone there was so nice. I decided to make the trip from sacramento to see Tony and it was easily one of the best experiences I've had. I followed him back when he was working out of SF and have always wanted to get tattooed by him. He was super friendly, professional, had a lot of artwork to choose from and honestly I dont know why but this was one of the least painful tattoos ive ever gotten. I will be back soon for a custom piece!! If youre looking for American traditional work in the Portland area you need to check out Tony and the others at historic tattoo!
