    The tattoo during the healing process one week later

    Willis Van Pelt did my sunflower and it is absolutely gorgeous. I was visiting out of town from Humboldt County and would definitely want another art piece from them. This is my fourth tattoo and I had an overall comfortable experience. I will post another picture once the piece has fully healed

    Because Icon is under new and great management I'm updating my post. This place needs a five star review.

    I have such a great experience with Alena! I felt super comfortable and love my tattoo! I hope to see her soon for another :)

    This is a wonderful tattoo shop - one of the best in Portland. The space is clean, expansive and inviting. Every time I stop by I'm immediately greeted in a friendly manner. And there is beautiful artwork to peruse while waiting. This business has a high standard for their artists, and every one of them is incredibly talented. I've had several sessions with Gin Hicks, and most recently with Betty Marie, and I could not be happier with the end product - or the process. (When you're sitting for hours at a time, having someone you enjoy talking to is helpful.) My tattoos look excellent - rich in details and colors, and they've aged well. I'd highly recommend both artists and anyone in this shop.

    Icon is a really well kept shop with tons of awesome artists, they do flash days often and have a kick ass atmosphere. Recently got tattooed here by Joakim Rosenberg. I am obsessed with my new lady head. It's healed now and looks perfect. Joakim was super nice, drew an amazing new piece (exactly what I was looking for) and made my experience easy and worry-free. He has amazing attention to detail and you can tell he really loves what he's doing. Shop help was really appreciated and they are very organized with bookings/deposits. Thanks again guys, you rock.

    I judge a lot of tattoo shops by their bathroom. The shop is amazing, clean, beautifully set up and have the classiest bathroom I have ever seen in over 100 shops worldwide. Am I weird...? Maybe. But don't judge me Judy, we barely just met. Anyway Susan, you have to come check this place out. Also Debra, can we talk about class and style? Cause this place oozes both, especially now that Joakim Rosenberg works here.

    My first tattoo at Icon... it won't be my last!

    I've LOVED my first experiences at Icon! Plenty of breathing room, clean atmosphere and warm feeling. Lucky is an incredible artist and super friendly. Also Paige was exceptionally welcoming. I'm looking forward to getting several more tattoos at Icon!

    So I went into this shop for my first tattoo, and it was a wonderful experience. Melissa was my artist, and she is so great at what she does! She made me feel very comfortable, which I needed considering I was internally freaking out. She was extremely patient too. Trying to get the stencil onto my arm in the right way was a difficult task because of the location, but she was eager to put it on perfectly, no matter how hard it was. She really does care about her work and her clients. She is very talented and super sweet- I would most definitely recommend this shop and her as an artist!

    I've been to Icon twice to be tattooed by McKenna Carlisle. The shop is clean and has a rad vibe. I found McKenna on Instagram and thought her style fit what I was looking for (black and grey, bold lines). Booking was easy and McKenna was communicative and super chill to work with. She works swiftly without sacrificing quality or attention to detail (it sucks to pay by the hour when a tattoo artist works at a snail's pace). Super stoked on how both tattoos turned out and plan on going back for more!

    I love love love the ladies (and men!) at Icon. Specifically, my artist is Alena, and I have been in love with her since day one. I went in without seeing previous work of hers (a big risk) but I have never doubted once that she would be giving me my wildest dreams in color. We are in the middle of a 3/4 sleeve and I look forward to much more! They all bring something really genuine and special to the Portland tattoo scene, and I cant get enough of them.

    With the grace and wit that is only Melanie a week later she called and said she had the design ready for me to see.

    I am so glad I found Virginia! I originally told her I…read morewanted a poppy, and she came up with a beautiful drawing of 3 different poppies at different stages of blooming. She didn't know at first but this was for my daughter, and it was the perfect art work to honor her that fit me perfectly. She also did a tribute tattoo on my other arm for my mom that was in perfect fine line that looks like it was hand written in one strike. She was easy to work with, really fun to talk to, and somehow made 4 hours fly by. I didn't think I'd want another tattoo for awhile but I'll definitely be back to Scapegoat to see Virginia soon. Thanks again!

    So glad that I discovered Sarah Carr! She's an all-around exceptional artist to work with, and…read morethat's made me a return customer. Sarah listens closely to what you want and then finds a cute, stylish way to make it work. Her placement is precise, she has a firm yet gentle touch, and her use of color is fantastic (both color theory and saturation). I've never been hip and now I'm getting old, so I'm quite used to feeling anxiously out-of-place in tattoo shops, but Scapegoat is more approachable and welcoming than your average shop. They go out of their way to offer water, space heaters, heating pads, masks, or whatever else might make you feel most comfortable. The artists seem to support and treat each other kindly. The bathroom is a work of art. Everything is clean. It's easy to find unmetered parking a couple blocks away. And this is a vegan business to boot! I couldn't ask for more.
