During my visit to Portland in July 16, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo as my souvenir of my visit, since Portland is supposed to be the most tattooed city in the US. I saw this place while walking around town, and decided to go there the night before I left. As I walked in, one of the artists was outside, and he was very nice, welcoming me to their shop and telling me to have a look round. Another artist inside greeted me immediately and asked what I was looking for. I didnt have much of an idea yet, so I told him I would probably go for something already drawn up. He was super nice, and when I told him I found something Id like to get (an anchor for my Navy days), he said he had a scheduled appointment in just a few minutes, and introduced me to Alana. She and I briefly discussed the tattoo and agreed on a price. As a smallish tattoo, it didnt take long. Alana and other staff who walked by were polite and engaged in small talk with me. They all put me at ease and made the time spent there very enjoyable. Even though I have several tattoos, I think that I dont really look like the kind of guy who gets them, at least not regularly, at least at first glance. Ive often walked into tattoo shops and the artists acted slightly bemused, as if they thought I didnt know anything about tattoos and the whole process. Just because Im not young and decked out in goth attire or whatever, I often feel almost unwelcome. Not at Hidden Rose. The staff there were professional, polite, engaging, willing to walk me through some questions to figure out what I wanted, and never made me feel I didnt belong. That was a HUGE plus for me. I hope to get back to Portland again soon, and Ill definitely return to HIdden Rose for another tattoo.

Strongly recommended. My sister and I showed up from out of town on the 8th of May asking for a walk in session, the shop itself is very cozy and feels warm with beautiful art lying around. The artist who greeted us was very welcome and professional, we got an appointment arranged with Jake on the 10th of May. On the 10th when we walked in Jake was there already and had taken a look already on the design we wanted but we had changed our minds by then and had another design in mind, Jake was very kind and patient with out little changes of mind. He was very receptive to any idea and listened carefully to what we wanted. It is also safe to say that what we were asking of Jake was absolutely not his style nor the one of the shop but things were going in the direction we wanted anyway and they were very open minded. Leo , one of the shop founders/owner , was also present tattooing and he was doing some beautiful work as well. All the conversations we managed to have with either Leo or Jake showed that they are very level headed people, professional and with a good sense of humor. The tattoo shop was a tolerant and respectful environment with great music being played (Thanks for the recommendation Leo, Motorama are great!) . All in all my sister and I came out after spending the whole day there (it took a couple of hours to get the design right and then getting it tattooed on each of us) with smiles on our faces. Pricing was too fair almost, we took Jakes whole day and each exchange of word was a breeze . Greetings to Leo and Jake (as well as the rest of the team) , we hope you enjoyed those donuts and that well come pay you a visit next time were in town (= all the best !

I received my first tattoo here, and had a few sessions. Each time I visited, my tattoo artist was awesome and professional. My tattoo looks great, and the other artists seem to do great work. He told me that if I was ever in the neighborhood one day in the future, to come back and see him to have a chat, and show him how everything healed etc. So yesterday, I was walking by with a friend and decided to stop in and say hello. I walked in and asked if the artist who did my tattoo a few months go was there, and they let loose on me. They told me that he had not been there for a while, that he obviously cant communicate with his clients, and they were extremely unprofessional talking bad about the guy. They lost their cool in 2 seconds involving me in their obvious dispute they had with the artist, and made me feel bad for even walking through the door. I was really disappointed about how unprofessional and dickish they were. Definitely was a hostile environment that I would not want to invest money or spend time sitting in that shop anymore.

This place is fantastic. Doug (one of the owners) is so professional and friendly. My boyfriend and I called on New Years Eve, asking if they were available for walk ins (most shops were closed by the time we were planning on going), and Doug was super accommodating and said he would stay open til we couldl get there. We each wanted a light saber on one of our fingers, a tattoo we had planned on getting for our first year anniversary and finally took the plunge 3years later. We werent expecting anything super fancy as theyre finger tattoos, but Doug far exceeded our expectations. He asked us which handles we each wanted (any Star Wars fan would appreciate this) and took the time to really get the details right on each one and they turned out AMAZING !! Im so impressed with the level of detail he put into these and definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality work and great atmosphere.

Ive been wanting a small tattoo on the inside of my ankle but finally bit the bullet and did it while on vacation in Portland. After doing some research I ended up at Hidden Rose. As a walk-in they got me in quickly and were really accommodating. Sam was really awesome and was chill and calm which helped ease my nerves. As a tattoo newbie I didnt know what to expect but they exceeded my expectations!

I love this place and Doug and Leo are phenomenal! Always very friendly and do amazing work for prices that are comprable to the time and talent they have. Doug finished my half sleeve and did 3 other pieces for me and they all came out beautiful. Would make the trip from Austin, TX to this shop any day for more work here.

I havent even gone in yet and the lady I called was sooooo rude. Pretty much it seems like they dont like like money. Because they completely turned me off before even going in. Good luck to anyone who uses this place to get work done. Because if they tattoo like they act. Im sure you will be completely unsatisfied.

Douglas tattooed both me and my fiance yesterday and we both love our tattoos! He was friendly and easy going, and was very professional. Usually we get tattoos at another place, but they were booked. He accepted our walk in. Nick wanted color added and Douglas gracefully accommodated. Definitely would go again

Ive been seeing Alana Robbie the last few years for my tattoos. Aside from doing amazing tattoos, Alana is by far the most passionate, personable, professional, honest and hilarious person ive come across in the industry. I highly recommend going to Hidden Rose for your next tattoo, you wont be sorry!
