Walked in and had an appointment with arjay. He was very welcoming and brought my ideas to life. I would 10/10 recommend him and will be back for future work with him! Happy to have found my Portland artist. He's very diverse and well rounded and able to do many different styles of tattoos. The shop is also small and personable with only three chairs, it's a very personable experience! They are practicing keeping things safe during these weird Covid times as well! read more

Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

For the past year and a half of my time here in Portland, I have wanted to add some ink. I've been itching, but alas, the funds have eluded me. The last time I had a little ink therapy was over two years ago in Dallas, Texas by a friend who has done most all of my tattoos. It was time for more. I have been to at least 15 different shops in southeast and heard of some other great shops around town. A lot of those shops have some serious wait time too. Not to say that I was able to just walk in here and get something done. I didn't. I had to wait over two months. I originally came in to Fortune over a year ago while I was still living in Buckman to see about getting some work done on an existing tattoo. Just some color touch up. I got prices and I was on my way. A few months ago I decided on a cover up to something existing and I went back in. I found out that the owner, Mikki, has been doing Japanese tattooing for many years and her book was perfectly in line with work that I already had. Well, I finally made it in and she freehanded a design to cover up what I needed and made the work blend in seamlessly with my existing piece. I also got a second original small tattoo done of my own design. The price was right and it was a great experience that I will look forward to again. Thanks Mikki and the staff at Fortune. read more

I've been getting tattooed for about 17 years now and finally found an artist and shop I feel comfortable in. During my visit the shop was filled with all women, which felt empowering. The owner seems to have created an inviting atmosphere for both artists and clientele. I went to Gin Hicks and can't wait to return for more work and a lot of fixing previous artwork from old tattoos. I love her direct East Coast personality. She is focused, precise and completely unpretentious. I enjoyed all the artists in the shop and think they all serve different aesthetic preferences. Easy street parking, directly on the bus route and lots of places close by to grab a snack or drink. read more

Fortune Tattoo - Gin felt like an old friend and made the experience fun and comfortable. This shop has great atmosphere with a perfect location. - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ms.Mikki is the coolest lady you'll meet hands down! She's an awesome artist and a great/interesting person to chat with. I love how she sees tattooing as cohesive to the other pieces you have, rather than just 'I do the design and we're done'. Her creativity and skills as a tattoo artist are probably the best I've come across and both my cuffs healed up very well! read more

Fortune Tattoo - Awesome black speckle cuffs by Ms.Mikki! - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

What I love about this place: Ms. Mikki is a true artist. With the most gentle touch. Amazing spirit. Love and kindness radiate from her. The shop is light, clean, inviting, friendly and organized. As for my tattoo, I couldn't love it more. I went to Mikki with an idea and emailed some pictures. What she came up with was beyond my highest expectation. We've completed 3 sessions and each time it is more and more beautiful. I'm not sure how it is possible, but its true. Green Tara just keeps getting better. read more

Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been dreaming up a particular tattoo for 10+ years and had never found the right artist. THEN I came upon Brynn's portfolio! Her bold, vivid style with plenty of attention to detail (and bonus appreciation of pop culture) blew me away! I made an appointment a few months prior so it would coincide with a family visit to Portland. Brynn was extremely accommodating and answered/acknowledged every question and concern I had leading up to the appointment. Fortune Tattoo is a BEAUTIFUL shop in a great location. It's very bright, open and clean. Full of character, but not too cluttered or overwhelming. The staff was warm and welcoming - there is a palpable sense of family/community in that shop. My appointment was about 4 hours, but it flew by! Between my social awkwardness and Brynn's professional super-duper concentration on fine details of my tattoo, we didn't chat too much, but she was fabulous and friendly! She often asked how I was doing and offered breaks after some particularly tender points of the piece. I could not be happier with the end result! I love the style, design, colors... everything about it. It's SO dreamy! I'll definitely be returning to Brynn/Fortune Tattoo for any and all future inky endeavors! read more

Fortune Tattoo - I'm a loner. A rebel. - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So I moved to Oregon almost 2 years ago, and I've been looking for an artist to do a lion piece for me. I'm a leo which obviously means my gem is a ruby (hence the tattoo) I went in to have a consult with Mikki and she had the confidence I needed to see right away. Every other artist i visited before her was honest with me in saying they couldn't make my lion realistic enough. When I asked if it would be a problem she laughed and said absolutely not. She knew exactly what she was doing and had no doubt she could pull off the tattoo I wanted.. sure enough 3 hours later she created this beautiful piece (still not done) and I could not be more happy. Easily the best place I've gotten a tat. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! read more

Fortune Tattoo - Leo Tattoo w/ Ruby Crown By Ms. Mikki - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We all have bad days, but you NeVeR want to catch a tattoo artist on one of theirs. I was getting a tattoo enhancement, because my existing lotus was fading, as it was not outlined. I chose Ms. Miki because she clearly has some beautiful work and seeming knowledge of sacred art. We had a consultation and she asked me what I liked about my tattoo and where I saw it going as we were enlarging it. I showed her examples of her own work that I adored. We set the appointment and I asked to come back before the final sitting for a preview of what she had come up with. She said 'no', that she would have a few variations ready for me. Day of the appointment. I arrive on time. Ms Miki doesn't. Finally coming in over half and hour late, she has NO art drawn up for me. She says she'd rather "freestyle" it. I should have walked out then, but I was leaving the state the very next day and really trusted her work. In the end, what she tattooed on my arm is a MISFORTUNE. My one lotus then multiplied into three, sitting in a swamp of army green background. It is all very flat, with no precision, no particular feature and no attention to detail. I even stopped her at one point, saying it was not what we talked about. She assured me it would be good by the end. It wasn't. I tried reaching out to her about my disappointment after I had arrived in MT. She admonished me and accepted absolutely no responsibility for the lousy and permanent work she did. She told me to find another tattoo artist. When I tried to see her upon two separate occasions in PDX she was unavailable to consult with me. You won't see my tattoo done by Ms. Miki in any of her portfolios. read more

Fortune Tattoo - Ms. Miki's bad day of tattooing. - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Just retired from 27 years of service with the Marine Corps. Looked up Fortune Tattoo and sent an email about getting a Marine themed tattoo. Ms Mikki recommend Olivia for the job. She hooked me up with an awesome tattoo depicting my time in the Corps. If you want a quality tat, this is the place to go. read more

Fortune Tattoo - Marine Corps tattoo done by Olivia. Damn good job. If you are ever in Portland, you gotta stop by! - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I wanted to walk in on my day off to get tattooed. I called around 12 and by 1:30 I was in the chair. Stephanie was available for a walk I. She drew up an awesome flower, got the stencil on my shoulder and had it finished by 3pm. She reworked the sketch 2 times for me and was super accommodating, making sure I got what I wanted (which wasn't very clear because I wasn't even sure what I wanted! I just knew it when I saw it). She did an awesome job and we had awesome conversations about Portland, never having children and camping at the coast in the spring. Good time, good tattoo. Go see steph! She had awesome flash ideas at her station. read more

YAY for Fortune Tattoo! This shop is beautiful, clean and tasteful. It is full of light and warm energy that made me feel immediately welcome. Well done guys! But really, this review is for Ms. Mikki is the one! Her touch is delicate and her work is amazing. She's clean, professional and knowledgeable. Her experience in the tattoo industry is only part of what makes her such and amazing tattooist. She is a true artist and has made my blurred descriptions of imagery into beautiful clear pieces of art on my body that cause all different types of people to stop me regularly to ask me who does my tattoos. Though I met her when she was tattooing in Oakland, CA, I have stayed true over the last 10 years she has been tattooing me. When she moved to Oregon from a California I traveled here (and still do) to get her to put the hurt on me. :) She can do anything from bright and detailed floral work, and beautiful goddess/deities with incredible background scenery, to perfect black and grey skulls and things with a little more punch. Her ability to bring life and color into a tattoo is priceless. I have been tattooed by other artists and I am clear that Mikki will always be my go to gurrrl. She has my trust and complete confidence. In the ever growing and trendy tattoo industry that is being flooded by new aspiring tattooers who don't yet know shit from shampoo, Mikki's 20+ years of ever-evolving experience and skill shine through. As I said, I live in Oakland, ca-- but I will continue to make the trip up to get worked on by Ms. Mikki. she never disappoints. xo happy decorating :) read more

Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Took about 8 months worth of deciding when/where and if I was going to get my 1st tattoo. So glad I came across Fortune Tattoo, and specifically Olivia. From the 30 minute consultation all the way til the end (after 5 hours in the chair), she treated me so much professionalism that I can't fathom ever going anywhere else. She took a concept of 4 Hawaiian sea turtles and turned them into a stunning piece of art that I keep getting compliment after compliment after compliment on. The whole staff (Steph and Marcus were there that day too) were freaking amazing and made a major process so smooth. Thank you so, so much and I can't wait for the next one in the future. read more

When I moved to Portland I knew I wanted to find an epic artist to finish a sad, unfinished fish tattoo on my ribs (ow). After scouring the internet and instagram I came across Olivia. Her style is so unique. It's sort of traditional but she really puts her own spin on things. She's awesome. So I went to her and showed her my fish I had and explained I wanted some flowers and some water/waves to fill it in and give it an environment. I was flexible and was really looking to her expertise to help guide me in the right direction with my tattoo. I trusted her instincts. She suggested/asked if I wanted to add more fish which I hadn't considered. I liked the idea so she said she would draw up some stuff. When I came in for my appointment she had some flowers and fish drawn up separately- so they weren't all connected in one big drawing. She then cut out each individual flower and fish and carefully placed them to not only go with my existing fish but to also flatter my body and give the tattoo movement. She later did the same thing with finger waves. It was awesome that she really too into account how the tattoo would flatter my body. After 4 sessions of horrible pain (ribs suck), my tattoo is finished! It is so amazing I could cry. Olivia was so flexible and kind and easy to talk to. She's fast too!! I couldn't believe how much she could bang out in 2-3 hour sessions. When my tattoo is healed I'll post a completed picture. As of now I don't more tattoo ideas but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Olivia. read more

Positive things first... On March 29th of this year my sister and I were both finally free at the same time and decided that was the day we were getting Trillium Flower tattoos in remembrance of our dad. It seems same day tattoo appointments are hard to come by these days, but Fortune was open and happened to have an artist for each us - and at nearly the same time. Yes! One was Stephanie, she tattooed my sister. The other was a guy subbing from somewhere in the Mid-West, also known as chain-smoking-talking-on-his-cell-phone-kind-of-interested-in-working guy. I got him. Nice enough, once we got his attention. The shop appeared clean. It's in a great location. It has fab reviews on Yelp - 4 stars overall. Perfect, right? And now the not so positive... Over the course of the next few weeks, undenounced to each other until we recently connected for dinner, my sister and I each had terrible skin rashes and swelling. Not the normal post-tattoo healing. I hadn't even thought of checking with my sister to see how her tat was. My sister is tough, and Stephanie took her time and seemed gentle, meticulous. Why would she have had any issues? I had come up with excuses for mine; the guy was heavy handed, I thought, ok so that could be why the unusual swelling. Plus, I've had bouts of eczema (though not on my forearm where the tattoo is, in fact only on one of my hands). I convinced myself it was eczema despite my partner and co-workers saying, dude - that's infected! My sister and I followed the aftercare instructions to the 'T', and neither of us are new to tattoos. So what happened? * Maybe dad didn't like our choice of memorial and thought it would be funny to smite us from the great fishing boat in the sky? * Was it the ink? * Was it the cleanser? * The needles? In retrospect why didn't we call the shop to ask what's up, or go in and have them take a look. Had we known of each other's infections before they cleared up, we would have. We didn't and I think it boils down to this, we each thought our bodies had a legitimate organic reaction not related to the tattoo experience, tools, or artists. Thought. Past tense. We're all healed and everything is fine so why Yelp it now, a month and a half later? Because I have to know if anyone else has had this experience after being tattooed at Fortune, and if so, WTF? read more

How do I love Olivia? Let me count the ways.. Best artist ever, very attentive, detailed and a great conversationalist. The store is really clean and has great vibes. Fellow cat lover, you can't go wrong with that. She does amazing work, and fire on the mountain is next door for your hunger needs. I have had a lot of artists work on my body, and she by far puts them all to shame.. yet remains humble and is such a great person. I have had a few friends get work done by her too, and all of them have had pleasant experiences. Thank you for your art! read more

Wow!! This place is wonderful. So clean, professional, and a great vibe. I went here while visiting Portland and am more than pleased with my artwork! I walked in and was able to get an appointment later that same day. Olivia was amazing. Such a skilled artist and made me feel comfortable throughout my first tattoo. I will fly back to PDX to visit fortune tattoo and Olivia for my next addition!! read more

Mikki has been working on fixing a botched tattoo, turning it into a full sleeve. Her work is beyond anything I could of imagined. I let her be creative in finding a way to tie everything in and fix it. She has exceeding my imagination and it's nothing short of amazing! Everyone there is super friendly and talented. My girlfriend gets her work done by Steph, her amazing work is what made me come in to get mine fixed in the first place. Top notch shop. The best I've ever been in. read more

This new shop is spectacular, full of light and warmth. Everyone is friendly and it has an amazing energy, how often can you be relaxed enough to start nodding off when getting inked on the underside of your arm? If you have a picture in your head, or just an idea that you want to build on, this is the place to go. No tacky flash on the walls, just beautiful art by/on beautiful people. The shop explodes with color and so does everyone in it. I have never been so relaxed and felt so at home while getting a tattoo, it's like an afternoon with family (one of the good ones, without your drunken uncle) Thank you for bringing more color to me and letting me be part of your sunshine. **Almost forgot to specify, I travel 1000 miles for Ms. Mikki, and she's worth it. Soft hands, great conversation, just an amazing eye on an amazing woman! read more

My husband just got a leg piece done by Ms Mikki. It is really amazing to look at! The shop girl was super knowledgible and friendly whenever we called. We will be back soon! read more

Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wow, Olivia is amazing!!! She was very kind and patient with me, which made the entire process much more enjoyable. I originally brought in an image I found online and when I came back for my appointment, she had sketched her own badass version of it. I was a little hesitant at first because I'm the type of person who needs a little extra time to adjust to changes. She was understanding and didn't make me feel bad for needing a few minutes to think. Three hours later I was done, and the tattoo I saw in the mirror was stunning! I get questions and compliments about it all the time. I will definitely be coming back to Olivia for any future tattoos. I would also like to share how kind and welcoming the other tattoo artists were towards me while I was there. Fortune Tattoo is an all-around great place to get tattooed! read more

Fortune Tattoo - By the wonderful Olivia - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been working with Brynn on a tattoo project since last December and my experience has been amazing. I decided to go big for my first tattoo (since that's what I like) and so far it has been a far better experience then I could have imagined. Brynn's portfolio told me all I needed to know and when we met for my consultation I left confident I'd made the right artist selection. The design was perfect, and the sessions are like a little Christmas day I get to have every month or so. Across my multiple appointments I've had a chance to also see Ms Mikki and Steph tattoo clients as well. Walk-in tiny tattoos and big projects alike clients are greeted with smiles and treated with respect. I've seen people walk out the door with tiny tattoos and huge arm or leg pieces, and the joy of the clients walking out the shop is universal. The Shop is impeccably clean and gorgeously decorated. The artists are all a joy to interact with and the level of talent and range of styles represented by these three artists is truly amazing. read more

A wonderful place to go if you're looking for something outside the box for your tattoo experience. Certainly not your typical, everyday tattoo shop.I have many tattoo's and I have never had the type of care, precision and just ultimate customer service as Ms. Mikki, Tyler and Jordan provide. The Trio are unbeatable! Jordan, Shop Manager, is the nicest gal you'll come across. Always friendly and totally hot. You'll never see her without a smile on her face, even if she's feeling a little under the weather. Tyler is co-owner and a Tattoo Artist. He does amazing work and always has something nice to say. You can tell he is a very focused Tattoo Artist who loves to do his work because he loves to do it, not for money. Though I have only been working with Ms. Mikki, I most definitely would have work done by Tyler as well. Ms. Mikki is superb. The energy that surrounds her is inexplicable. It's hard to put into words how Ms. Mikki is because she is just that incredible. She has a calming voice that washes away a bad mood in a minute. She pays great attention to detail and is extremely focused. Not to mention she's super sweet and has such a bubbly personality. Definitely stop by sometime if you're ever wanting a great tattoo. Once you step foot in the door you be captured by its' energy and fall in love with it like I did. read more

I lost my ink virginity at Fortune Tattoo, at the skillful hands of Steph. She did an amazing job, and as my friend said, was very 'light handed'. I was nervous about the level of pain I had signed myself up for, even for the first timer small piece I chose. I was pleasantly surprised at how gentle Steph was and I am already brainstorming future ideas for her to work with me on! read more

Fortune Tattoo - First-timer piece by Steph. - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I looked around for someone to put together a few ideas in my head for my next tattoo. After looking through a lot of websites and Portland artists, I decided that Gin Hicks of fortune tattoo was the artist for me. I set up a consultation and when I went in I talked to her for a few minutes and showed her 4 different ideas I had that I basically wanted to make into one tattoo. After explaining myself I thought, ok I just probably totally confused her because I am not even sure what I want anymore. She started giving me a few ideas and and I was instantly in love with the concept. So about a week before my appointment she wanted me to come in and go over the final sketch and when I saw it, I was literally speechless. Gin exceeded my expectations with the artwork she produced. Day of the tattoo - It was great, the shop is super clean and every artist there was very friendly. The decor, light, people really make this a comfortable environment. I sat for Gin for about 7 hours so that she could finish her masterpiece in one day. She is gentle and has a great sense of humor. I cant' say enough good things about her. Again, I love her art work and her shading that she did for me was excellent. Just a great tattoo artist and person. I plan on seeing her again to turn this piece into a sleeve. read more

There are a couple of really important things I look for when I'm getting a tattoo. First one is, do I trust the artist. Does she know what she's doing? Is she truly an artist, not someone who just does ink? Does she come recommended? The other one is, what's the shop like. How inviting is it? Who else works there? What's the overall energy? Mikki and her shop, Fortune Tattoo satisfies all of that and more. I highly recommend her. read more

Stephanie gave me tattoos that were not just exactly what I wanted but were even better with some of her suggestions. I'm getting lots of compliments. She is also very patient and kind. She helped advise me when I accidently messed up my after care a little. She's great and I highly recommend her. Oh, and the tattoos took no time at all! Very happy customer here. read more

See all

Fortunate Tattoo is a terrific shop. The interior is very warm, with beautiful artwork and ink lining the walls. It is an open space, with a lot of natural light - very unlike most tattoo shops. The minute I walked in to make an appointment, I felt at ease. The defining characteristic of this space, though, is Ms. Mikki; she is hands down the most unique and skilled tattoo artist I've ever come across. Her calm and reassuring demeanor in my initial consult gave me confidence in her, and she helped give shape to my many ideas. Instead of simply rushing me into the chair, she really took the time to understand my thoughts, guiding me through my vision. The end result is a beautiful half sleeve, with rich colors and delicate line work that is far better than anything I could have imagined. I still have one more session to go on this piece, and yet I am already thinking of my next project for her! Ms. Mikki is an amazing artist, and an even better person; her shop comes highly recommended from me. read more

What a great experience. Olivia was so kind, absolutely pleasant to be around. A great conversationalist and made me feel comfortable during the whole experience. This was my fourth tattoo, but the experience still stresses me out. Olivia made me feel comfortable throughout the process, offering intelligent and interesting conversation, not to mention, a beautiful tattoo. I'll be visiting Portland from San Diego again to see Olivia when it's time to get more work done. Thank you! read more

Fortune Tattoo - Thanks olivia! - Tattoo Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I am so disappointed about my experience with Mikki at Fortune Tattoo. She obviously has a lot of positive feedback & she was recommended to me by my BIL who has been going to her for years, which makes it that much more disappointing. I'm the average 40 year old Mom with an awful tattoo on my back that I got when I was 18. I've been wanting it covered for years and years, but being a stay at home Mom, I couldn't justify spending the money on it. This October for my birthday, my husband scheduled a consultation for me with Mikki. I was beyond excited. We went to the appt on Oct. 30th, spent 20-30 mins discussing what I wanted. I did not have an actual picture, I had lots of different pictures of different types of clamatis flowers and hummingbirds. I wanted a combination of the 2. We scheduled my appt for 11-17 @ 5:00pm. I showed up for my appt yesterday, and as I walked in the door she says to me " Hi, did you get my message?"....me.."no, I didn't get a message". Then she proceeds to tell me that she left a message with my boyfriend Ken, cancelling the appt because she over booked herself. I don't have a boyfriend. I have a husband, named Matt I tell her. Doesn't matter, she continues to tell me that she needs to reschedule my appt. I expressed that I had just driven an hour to get there for my scheduled appt, but this didn't seem to matter. I eventually agreed to to re-book for the following Saturday. Before I left, I asked to see what she had drawn up for my Tattoo. She then told me, No...that she hadn't worked on it, it would be done tomorrow. I left. Then decided to call and cancel because I was so upset about it all together, especially that she hadn't even worked on my art. When I called and expressed this, her exact words were " I was just going to trace the picture you showed me, it's not that hard...I don't need that much time, it's not like I was doing a sleeve or something". I didn't show her one picture, I showed her lots of different pictures of the style of flower. Not a picture of what I wanted. She was supposed to draw something for me, based off of those pictures and my verbal description. Honestly, that last part was the worst of it for me. She basically told me that my Tattoo wasn't important to her and she didn't need to spend any time on it, or me. I would not recommend Mikki to anyone. read more

I was sent to Ms. Mikki at Fortune Tattoo by a good friend, whose judgment I trust. I came in with sort of a vague idea of how to commemorate my cat on my arm, sending Mikki a short description and an image off the Internet. After a quick consult and more emails exchanged - Mikki was very responsive, and it was lots of fun to bounce ideas around - I went in for the first tattoo session a month later to watch her create a half sleeve with my cat as Legolas from the Lord of the Rings. You may notice that this is a somewhat nerdy idea, which perhaps some would scoff at. Not so Mikki. She got it immediately, and when I came in what she had drawn up exceeded my highest expectations. During the session, I discovered that Mikki is not only absolutely meticulous, clean, and well-prepared, she also has a light touch (which is good because I can be a bit of a wimp). In addition, Mikki is a very kind, interesting, and spiritual human being, which made talking to her a true joy. I felt all around well taken care of and was beyond excited about the process. In the upcoming sessions, she finished the colors on my tattoo, and while it took a bit of a leap of trust to let her choose them, I do not regret it. The shading is amazing, and the kitty really looks like my cat! She also was able to incorporate little requests I made easily if they made sense and was very kind in explaining when she thought something wouldn't work. I knew I could trust her, and I'm happy that I did. Spoiler alert: The finished tattoo is fantastic. Every time I look at it, I'm beyond happy with it, and even my mom (who does not like this whole tattoo thing) had to grudgingly admit that it is "impressive" and "beautiful". In a nutshell, my experience at Fortune Tattoo was all around in every way wonderful. So much so that I intend to come back for a tattoo of my second cat done in the same style on the other arm. Ms. Mikki is a true artist and a gem of a human being. Thank you, Mikki. read more

Fortune Tattoo is an awesome space with good vibes. What makes it so awesome is MISS MIKKI! I cannot put into words how awesome Miss Mikki is. I came to her with an idea and a few basic sketches for our first consult, and the 2nd time I saw her I was blown away with what she had come up with...I couldn't get under that needle fast enough! It was my first BIG piece, 12 hours total. She is a focused, amazing, talented artist. Such a nice presence too, Mikki is this awesome mix of tattooed biker chick and soft-spoken compassionate yogi all in one, for lack of any better description I can think of! Since my piece has been completed, I get stopped at least once a day by an admirer. With all the tattoos in Portland and all the amazing art around us, it's amazing to me that I get compliments so often, but I do. Miss Mikki will always be who I recommend! read more

I had the most wonderful experience here with Ms. Mikki. I came in for a consultation and brought with me several pictures. She was very professional, had several options to choose from when I returned, all of which were very hard to choose from since now I wanted them all. It's been 2 years since that tattoo was done, and the color is still wonderful and vibrant, the lines are clean and I had NO holidays or any spots where the ink raised up at all during healing. The shop is sparkling clean and the ambiance is warm and very calm. I highly recommend this shop (this was not my first rodeo by the way) and the artists. I will be back soon!! read more

Just got a tattoo here by Olivia last night. I gave her a pic for reference and told her the modifications I wanted and left it at that. From the second she put the stencil on I knew it was perfect! The finished product is better than I imagined it could be, absolutely perfect! Thanks so much Olivia! You do beautiful work!!! read more

I have a few small, hand size pieces that I've gotten before I came to Fortune Tattoo. However, this experience was like a new beginning of tattooing for me, and I now characterize my sleeve as part of my identity. As a tattoo "amateur" I had some anxiety in approaching a tattoo shop with several unorganized, non-linear frames of ideas. A sleeve was to be my biggest and most substantial piece done and I wanted to find a place where I was comfortable opening up my mind to an artist. Miss Mikki helped alleviate my anxiety by supplementing my own inarticulate creativity into a sleeve of great depth. Often I found myself floundering on a theme that I couldn't quite put my fingers on--at one point it was suggested that I "surrender to the experience," and what prudent advice that ended up being. My ideas were taken to an entirely different plane of imagination and surrealism that I couldn't have conjured with the help of a magic wand. There was never a session in which I felt I wasn't in great hands. As my sleeve came together one-by-one (one more session to go!), I am certainly glad I went to Fortune Tattoo. The adjectives to describe Fortune Tattoo, including Mikki and her colleagues are abundant; welcoming, genuine, creative, respectful, professional, clean, courteous etc. If you are in a boat of certainty or uncertainty with regard to where you want to take your ideas, I strongly encourage you to browse the portfolios here and seek a consultation with one of the artists at Fortune Tattoo. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've been getting tattoos from Mikki since she started tattooing. She is a fantastic artist who will listen to what you want and transform it into the most stunning piece of art that you will carry with you forever. read more

I recently got my first tattoo at Fortune and it's lovely. Ms. Mikki pulled me through the process with the ease of an experienced guide and I am so grateful to her. The color (from what my friends that have lots of work have told me) is exceptional and I think that the details are beautiful. I am going to go back and add to the piece soon. read more

I got my 2nd tattoo in my life here last week and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Steph worked with me to make the tattoo exactly the way I wanted it. She was very personable during the entire process, especially helpful while getting it out on my ribs. Shop is super clean/organized and very friendly. Highly recommended! read more

My wife came in and received a incredible piece of art done by Ms Mikki, and I sat down and talked to her about my vision of what I wanted. Mikki came up with a much better vision of my vision (which by the way was not hard because I have a very strange vision) Made the appointment right then and waited impatiently for the date to arrive, 2 six hour sessions later, and sore ass from sitting in that chair (sorry Mikki I'm complaining again) and that awesome warm tingling feeling (road rash) I have a AWESOME WORK OF ART, that I will be able to have with me forever, and I got to meet a great artist and better yet a great person......Thanks again Mikki and I will see you soon. read more

This place is so amazing. We just went in to check prices and see how the place was and I must say that it's one of the cleanest and well set up tattoo shops we've seen. Anyways my wife and mother in law were looking at getting matching breast cancer butterflies which worked out cause there was a last minute cancelation. The tattoo artist was able to get us a price and a drawing quickly. Turns out that the cancelation showed up while the artist was helping us and tried to get her to push us out and get her tattoo instead.. The tattoo artist who turns out to be the owner of the shop told her no and continued to help us which I thought was awesome! Mikki is her name and she is the best. I would recommend this place to anyone even a first timer like my mother in law! Thanks Mikki we appreciate your work and your professionalism with that lame customer who put you in an awkward position! read more
