    Tattoo design for sizing
    Peyton S.

    I have gotten several tattoos by Bex since 2021, and they're all beautiful watercolor style! Bex is professional, organized, and calming to be around. I trust them completely to design my tattoos. The shop is peaceful and clean, and the whole team is queer and BIPOC friendly. Lots of other artists available for flash designs. If you've been thinking about a watercolor tattoo, cover up, or flash piece, this is your place!

    I've been in love with Bex's work for a while now, and when my tattoo concept came to me I knew she would be perfect. So I packed up and took a trip across the country to get the best tattoo by the best artist.

    I've had the pleasure of now visiting Oak Iris three different times to complete my half sleeve art with Rebecca and I cannot say enough good things about them. It's the best tattoo experience I've had and I can't wait to think of another idea so we can work together again! Tiger, ranunculus and star tattoos by Bex.

    I have been following Rebecca's art over the years and have always really enjoyed her style and unique concepts. She quit her day job years back to focus on art full time and its worked out well for her because it's awesome and people want it! Follow your dreams people! Then...she announced she was learning to tattoo, and after 20 years of not knowing what I wanted to get for a second tattoo, it was time! Her art is one thing but her tattooing skills are already on point. I LOVE the piece I got from her a few months back and will be in her chair again in a couple weeks. Can't wait! Plus, she's a chill person so you will not have to put up with any snootyness that sometimes accompanies talented artists.

    Bex is amazing. She is extremely easy to connect with. She listens to what you want or need with no judgements. I'm completely in love with this original piece of hers.

    Tattoo by Emiliana

    I *love* Oak Iris Tattoo. I've had work done by Bex, Sasha, and Emiliana (who recently moved back to the east coast ::sniffle::) and have had a wonderful experience each time. The shop is super clean and they have extensive Covid protocols in place, so I feel safe every time I go. The environment is bright, colorful, and chill. Everyone is friendly, and the vibe is enjoyable. Spending time at the studio is an absolute treat, and not just because it's four hours for myself with no tiny humans running around. Every artist has been very collaborative. I have zero artistic bones in my body, so I usually just say "I'd like this, this, and this, and I'd like it here or here" and they turn it into beautiful art. They're always open to input, have interesting suggestions and ideas, and happily change things I'm not excited about. I cannot recommend them enough.

    I saw Sasha and she was absolutely amazing. She pays attention to detail and is very adamant about taking care of what YOU want. She did a cover up on a previous cover up and it was everything I wanted plus more. Aside from being an awesome artist, she's genuinely a sweet human being with a kickass attitude. Shop was extremely clean and I highly recommend

    I have gotten two tattoos from Bex and I absolutely LOVE them! One was a flash based on a painting I bought from her a few years prior, and the second was a bouquet of my favorite flowers to cover up a tattoo I didn't love anymore from my teenage years. The flower tattoo was done during the first months of COVID, and my experience at the shop was AMAZING. It was the cleanest area I've been in even pre-COVID, but it was absolutely immaculate when I was there in July! We did most of our communicating about it via email, and there were incredible amounts of care and safety taken into consideration while Bex worked. We didn't talk (which was fine!) and instead listened to a podcast about penguins :) Excellent work, great service, IMPECCABLE safety protocols. 100% professionalism! I love my Oak Iris Tattoo tank top as well because it's a striking yet simple design, and I love wearing it around so I can tell everyone to go to Bex for ink! (and just casually uncover the beautiful goat on my shoulder ;) )

    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.

    From the first interaction with Eli on the phone, we felt welcomed and at ease. We weren't sure if…read morewe could find a shop that could accommodate a last minute request on a Sunday night; after reaching out to a few shops we found Eli who gave us time to finishing drawing our design and then come in for our (2) tattoos. When we arrived at the shop we felt welcome by all members of the team and the vibe felt like a safe space for us. Eli gave us a sense of calm, like there was no rush. Eli communicated well about the preparation process, and took our design and made it something even better than we had originally imagined. After we left, we both agreed that both his friendliness and professionalism made the session and interactions all positive. So we came away with, both, tattoos as well as a positive experience and memory. After 25 years of friendship (since junior high) this is our third tattoo together, and it was a single line tattoo of four instruments that Eli, brought to reality in the best way possible. We are eternally grateful and will continue returning to this shop every time I return to Portland. -- Jos and Shelley Add-on: And speaking of add-ons, from the moment when he got started tattooing me I realized that I wanted to get another one and so after he was finished, I asked if I could add another one on, and he was willing and open to accommodate (even though he still had J's tattoo to do after mine). Thank you, Eli! We appreciate you! And we appreciate that you support women's sports!

    Overall great experience. We didn't have an appointment, but we were able to get help right away…read more Friendly staff. Most importantly, our tattoos came out perfect.
