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 first time visiting portland, let alone the fact that i was only around the area for work. i've…read morebeen wanting to get my second tattoo for a while now and thankfully i managed to get it here. something about getting a tattoo everywhere BUT the actual place i reside in is my thing, supposedly. anyways, i was a simple walk in. stressed enough trying to find a tattoo parlor to come to for a tattoo and i was occupied in engulfing a scoop of ice cream before hunting for places last second. thankfully this place was open longer and later than most parlors which i like. i had read after gaining my tattoo that this seems to be one of the oldest parlors around! how cool is that? anyways it's not too difficult to find the place, two story building so when you step inside you're welcomed by the logo sign and the staircase to bring you up and over to where the magic really begins. patrick is the one who did my work and i was really happy with the results. i didn't have anything in mind and just showed him vague images of inspiration. told him what floral print i wanted etched over my skin and the placement. i have a mole and i was concerned that it was covered not that it mattered that much, but he kept it! i was so happy about that haha. nonetheless, i will admit it was a bit more painful than my first. expected from the placement and the wonderful line work and details. it was totally worth it all. patrick had a sense of humor that was relatable and he was constantly checking up on me too during the process which is appreciated. also, the art work placed on the walls helped as well. heh. thank you patrick again! the tattoo currently healed very well and everyone loved it a lot. i've been receiving compliments during work and outings when people notice it. their prices were reasonable, pieces and artwork fantastically done and the people there were considerate. they'll make your ideas come to life!

Spent so much money on three different piercings here and customer jewelry - over $500. I asked for…read moreone of the piercing to be changed because the placement of it was not what I asked for. I got three piercings at once and we were very thorough on the first two but then the third placement was marked but not reviewed as we went back and forth on the first two piercing placements and she didn't check if I liked the marking of the third before piercing. I asked them to change the third piercing at the follow up appointment they scheduled less than 2 weeks later and they said it would be an additional $70 minimum to change the placement an need to buy new jewelry for it. Disappointed after I spent over $500 there and was rushed through it. Wanted to like this place but did not personally have a good experience. Called two other spots who said they'd do it with the same jewlery and 20% discount on the new piercing cuz of my shitty experience at sanctuary. Poor customer service

TO PREFACE my artist was UK Kulot on instagram I went in to…read moreget two, two inch tattoos for my birthday on saturday at 10am. I arrived with a friend who had her appointment set for 11 am. We got in the artist called us back, mind you without having us fill out any paperwork or checking our IDs. He called us back and then proceeded to set up the shop wash a window and post some of his flash outside. He was on his phone 90% of the time and i dont think we started tattooing until after 1030. By 1030 he hadnt even put the stencils on and after he did that he let me sit there for another ten minutes just doing absolutly nothing. Once we finally got to tattooing he went for a little bit then stopped to take a break (He did not me) for a little while, then went back to it. After the first tattoo i went and used the restroom and came back quickly because i had somewhere to be that afternoon. He did not start tattooing me again for 10 more minutes because he was showing my friend things on his phone and chatting with her. Then once he did start tattooing again he didnt wash his hands and i dont believe he changed his gloves either. During this second tattoo he stopped again part way through to talk to me about school for what felt like twenty minutes. after the second tattoo he finished sprayed some bactine without asking me about any allergies or anything at all i had to ask what he sprayed on my arm. Then moved on to my friend. Her tattoo was reletivly quick, he sprayed her with bactine without asking and then proceeded to clean my tattoo touch his phone and contunie touching my tattoo. After that i told him i was allergic to saniderm so he used seran wrap which is tottaly fine ive had that before! But he wraped it in a way that cut off the circulation to both of my arms. My friend asked for sanaderm/second skin to which he said he didn't have any and wraped her arm in saran wrap as well.I got two fully colored tattoos (which i have never had before) and he gave me absolutely no aftercare instructions nor did he tell me anything at all about matinence or care of a colored tattoo. I have 30 something tattoos im not stupid when it comes to aftercare but nether me nor my friend have colored tattoos so we had no idea how to take care of them. We ended up leaving the shop at 130, three and a half hours later for three two inch tattoos. I WISH IT ENDED HERE. I got home and i was feeling a lot of pain in my arms. I brushed it off as just healing and soreness from the bactine wearing off i kept the seran wrap on and went on with my night. I ended up taking it off to shower (On their website it says you can take off the second skin after two hours) and head to bed My arms were hurting so bad at this point i couldn't put any pressure on them and touching around or on the tattooed area hurt so bad it brought me to tears. Today i two days later and they are crusted and burning. It feels like a constant rug burn. Whenever i move my arms it feels like my skin is ripping. They wont spot leaking and they're constantly hot to the touch. I am really worried that they are infected and im nervous that i will have to go to urgent care to get antibiotics. It is genuinely the worst pain of my life and the tattoos themselves look blistered. I will absolutely never be going back here and i wish i could get my money back so i could pay for the antibiotics.
