Dire Wolf Tattoo Company 1904 Northeast Broadway, Portland, OR 97232

"I was aware of Dire Wolf from passing by in the neighborhood. (This positive review is being written by another local tattoo artist.) I received a client who reported that she came in to Dire Wolf asking for a complex full color piece. You graciously explained your limited palette preferences and offered your time explaining why you work within your chosen specialty and how artists structure their practices differently. You were courteous professional and respectful. Taking the time to explain how you run your artistic practice and small business and why you would be a better fit for a future project left a very favorable impression with her. We worked together on that color piece and she is excited to come back to you for some black illustrative work on another piece soon. It is nice to hear about positive respectable and transparent practices, well done."

"I’m getting inked by Karla as we speak! She is so incredibly kind and really made me feel so safe getting a tattoo on my hip. I felt so comfortable and feel so honored to have her art on my body! She is probably one of the best artists I have ever worked with and I truly recommend her to all my loved ones. Especially in COVID time, I felt safe and secure getting a tattoo. The shop is clean and spacious! ."

"Had a consultation with Dustin. He took my idea made some suggestions that made it 10 times better. EDIT: I got the tattoo. Holy cow it's good. It was a fantastic experience. I can not recommend Dustin enough."

"Had an amazing experience with Dustin today. He was very patient as I changed some things with the tattoo I was getting and played around with spacing and moving things around. His line work is amazing and he is very kind. It was a pleasure spending a few hours with him. I also got to meet Skot, one of the owners, while I was there. Quite a funny guy. Very nice and pleasant. Together they definitely created an environment of professionalism and humor and comfortable tattooing. Thanks again Dustin for all your patience and hard work today."

"Such a great experience from start to finish. Dustin was awesome helping me plan my piece. The shop was incredibly clean and had a super comforting vibe. The other two artists were there as well and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Oh and if it’s something that matters to you, the work they do is amazing. That is important to some people hahaha. I’ve found my new permanent shop for sure, and would highly recommend to any and everyone."
