Heather was my number 1 tattoo artist, loved heather and her work! She did all my tattoos but unfortunately they been really lacking on communication . It's hard to book now I been trying to book for 3 years now . It's always the same BS . I decided to choose another artist. This was one of my BEST places to go! But the business here lacks now , it's not what it was used to be now...I gunna give 3 stars just because I still want this business to go on. But other wise very disappointed from a loyal customer. read more

As per usual Heather and the team delivered! We had 4 small matching tattoos, my Mom, myself and 2 daughters. The vibe in the office is fire and Heather is so personable, we all felt comfortable and had a blast! Even my 75 year old Momma! The shop is super clean and the art we rec'd (albeit small but sentimental) is gorgeous! Looking foward to my next booking! Thank you Heather we adore you & Evolution Tattoo! read more

What an awesome experience! Once upon a time I believed I would never get a tattoo. But then December 10th, 2023 came and went, taking my very dear friend since middle school with it. I REALLY wanted to honor her passing and memorialize her for the rest of my life. Heather was recommended to me by an artist friend of mine, so off to Evolution Tattoo Gallery I went. Heather is awesome and truly a talented tattoo artist. She was pretty quick, kind and very detailed. Her shop is inviting, clean and full of good vibes! I am so very happy with my tat and I'll definitely be back to Heather's chair if I ever get another piece done. Thank you so much Heather! read more

I had put down a $100 deposit for a tattoo with the owner, Heather and scheduled the appointment no issues. She ended up cancelling on me more than once. once the day before our appointment and once the day of. She had offered to refund the deposit or reschedule and provide a small credit. I regrettably took the credit and let her know it was ok to hold off on scheduling for now since it seemed like she had a lot going on and it was hard to have to keep rescheduling, plus, my partner and I were frequent customers at the time, so it didn't seem like a big deal. However about two weeks later I ended up reaching out to see if her offer to refund the deposit was still an option and if not, if we could figure out scheduling. I ended up reaching out to her half a dozen times over multiple months to try and follow up and never received any response back. I do understand she was not at all required to refund that deposit and had there been communication I think this would be a different review. I know her staff at the time were very well aware of the situation and had all made comments about how this was unfortunately a common thing they had seen. unfortunately after that experience with the owner, I always warn people about doing business there and caution against it. read more

Had a design in my head for about a year. After a consultation with Nate I showed up for my tattoo appointment. The design he drew was perfect. He worked efficiently, quickly, was easy to talk with. Was in the chair a little over 5 hours. I've never been happier with a tattoo. I highly recommend Nate at Evolution. read more

Have you ever met that one person that took 2 to 3 business days to reach back out to you and it makes it impossible to plan anything? That's the evolution tattoo for you. I try to make a plan for getting a tattoo this week, they said they have an opening on Thursday morning, and which was two days before and when I said I want to do it, I never heard back. And when I tried to call nothing. So steer clear! There are plenty of other tattoo shops that can do a better job at communicating. read more

I just wanted to do an update! Because Evolution Tattoo is still the greatest around! I recently returned for another tattoo and the results continue to blow my mind. Kent is detailed, he loves working on great projects. He works to make sure everything is perfect! I could not be happier! Everyone at Evolution Tattoo is amazing! Heather is warm and friendly, Jess is very awesome and creative. If you are considering getting a new tattoo and you need to find a place that is safe, sterile and going to do the best work. You have found it! Also, my new arm tattoo won 3rd place at the Portland Tattoo Expo 2019. That is my second tattoo that has a won at these tattoo expos. You will not be sorry! I will be with these guys for life! read more

I was referred by a friend to check this shop out. Heather and her husbands work looked amazingly flawless and I LOVED their line and letter work. I did the email appointment and quote everything turned out EXACTLY how I envisioned my tattoo to be. They listen to what you would like to change or have fixed. Heather was my artist, she's so sweet and very quick I feel like! She also fixed one of my other smaller tattoos. I 100% recommend this studio to anyone. They love what they do and love making their customer happy. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you again!!! read more

Well was good at first , until the tattoo artist was hung over and went to deep into my tattoo. Took about two months to heal. The owner made it right by giving me money back well after I asked for it back. She opened up the shop to me to fix it but we couldn't because it wasn't fixed. She told me to get ahold of her and we could work a Sunday out but when I did she couldn't do sundays anymore and blocked me from contacting her. Disappointed not how you do business. read more

I usually like to do things out of the blue, I woke up wanting to get a tattoo, so I called evolution tattoo, Kayla picked up, and was able to assist me as soon as I arrive. She's such a sweet heart. I wasn't sure what size I wanted it so she printed out multiple copies until I see the size I wanted. The session was fast, quick, good, and clean. I loved everything about it. Thank you !!! read more

My tattoo from Miles is AMAZING. He made a 7 hour tattoo go by quickly and smoothly which makes all the difference. I have officially become his newest loyal customer read more

I definitely agree with previous reviews. Heather is great! I had never had a tattoo done before. I thought long and hard about the design that I wanted and took it in to Kent who made the appointment with Heather. I wasn't stuck with my design because I appreciate the fact that tattoo artists are indeed, artists. But when Kent said that they would do it and when Heather looked at the design and said that there would be no problem doing it, I was thankful and it was refreshing because I had been into another tattoo shop and was told that they wouldn't do the design or any variation of it. Having not had a tattoo done before, Heather put me at ease. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would and it was over before I knew it. I'm already thinking about my next tattoo and I will definitely return again. read more

I had two small tattoos done by Kent a few years back and called him as soon as another artist totally screwed up my arm. I had literally resolved to getting it removed if Kent wasn't up for the challenge of the cover up, but he was! We booked a whole day and I mustered through the pain to get a sense of relief and complete excitement for what we are accomplishing. We have already taken it way farther than I'd anticipated and I couldn't be happier. Booked another day for a few months out and can't wait. Finally found someone I can give all my money to happily!

Feels like a church. Not your typical energy, chill atmosphere. Was a decent tat I just felt like I was getting it done in a church.

Love Heather! An amazing artist with a great personality. Heather has done all my work. I enjoy bringing my ideas to her and letting her add a personal touch to create some epic art. I won't let another artist touch me! Highly recommend! read more

Quite a while ago a friend and myself went to Heather for matching tattoos, I can confidently say that our experience was top notch and the best I've ever received. Heather was very detailed, had a quick yet steady hand, and was very personable. A year later my tattoo looks as great as it did the day of. I've been dreaming up a new tattoo and can't wait to go see Heather again at her new shop! Highly recommended! read more

Love Heather's work! She did an awesome job on my piece and she was done in no time at all. I will be seeing her again for some future work. She made me feel at ease with normal everyday chit-chat. If you are reading this all I have to say is go see her you will not be disappointed! read more
