I've been going to Drat at Ever True for years to cover up a full frontal torso piece, and I trust…read morehim and the shop completely. So much so that I travel from New Orleans at least once a year to continue work on my piece. I interviewed multiple artists across Portland before choosing Drat to go on this wild self-reclamation journey with me. He was the most considerate, understanding, and ethical person I met. Having said all that, I highly recommend both Drat and the Ever True shop for work large or small. The space is impeccably clean, and I am ADAMANT about cleanliness, especially in tattoo shops. I have topical allergies and Drat is accommodating for that as well, with zero hassle. Also, I feel completely safe and protected, which is imperative considering the intimate and vulnerable placement of my work. If you want body art that is aesthetically beautiful and handled with total care, check out Drat at Ever True! All the staff I have met there have also been super respectful and their work is top notch. Go go go!!!

Not a big fan of this place or its owner Drat…read more I showed up to an appointment I made with him and he told me that he is going to be busy tattooing his friend and I could get tattooed by someone else at the shop that is available. The lack of respect for my time was unbelievable. This was the last time I went to him. It's been many years since then and I found that most of the tattoos I've gotten from here have been tattoos I have covered up. What a waste of time and money it's been. Had I just done a little bit more research I would have found plenty of shops with better artists and vibes. If you'd like your tattooer to act like he is all that and get over charged for mediocre tattoos that at best mimic real Japanese art then Drat is the guy for ya.

My husband and I had passed this shop a few times and liked the way it looked. We briefly looked online at the artist's work on Wednesday and decided the style did suit us best. We headed to the shop, no appointment and thought let's see what happens. We walked in, greeted by a couple people inside and I told him I wanted a rose tattoo on my forearm, I didn't have an appointment. He went to the back to get the tattoo artist, Jessica, and we talked. It was easy since it wasn't this huge piece, just a rose. She drew one up, and I noticed a piece on the wall that I loved. I mentioned it to her when she came back, and it turned out to be hers! She drew a beautiful rose, no stem. I wanted olive colored leaves and we went with the two-toned colored rose and took just about an hour. I am so in love with the finished product, I will definitely be back to see her for my next piece.

(Cleanliness/procedure for example) I wasn't really sure what to expect. It's really just regular tattoo shop but with less big ego. Refreshing. I got a great new piece here from Dereck. I'm very pleased. He was very precise & made sure I was good with every step. Of course things move a little slower, just plan for that. There were instructors observing and available if needed. I'd recommend checking it out for sure. I had such a great experience, I've already scheduled my next appointment. There is a parking lot as well as an ATM.
