Atlas Tattoo Studio

Atlas is a classic classy joint that takes deep pride in the tattoo experience. Dan and the team are top class artists, professionals, conversationalists, and humans. They keep alive the tradition of the tattoo shop experience in the most important ways. Best shop in Portland.

My new tattoo is amazing - got an abstract of a Matryoshka! Juan did amazing work. He was very patient, too (after all my last tattoo was 27 years ago). The shop is comfy and super friendly. Highly recommend!

Five stars! Top notch! Best in class! Atlas Tattoo belongs on the Mount Rushmore of tattoo shops. Imagine if the Beatles or Wu-Tang Clan were tattoo artists instead of musicians. That’s what they’ve got going on over at Atlas. You couldn’t find a better proprietor than Dan Gilsdorf. He is a consummate professional, expert artist and tattooer. Traditional stencil, acetate, or he’ll draw it on with a toothpick, your choice! Lewis can tattoo literally anything in any style; perfectly. He draws so good. Jerry, too. There’s not a single criticism you can level at these guys except maybe they’re too nice and make too perfect tattoos. Juan Puente is Juan Puente. There’s nothing to say about him that hasn’t been said by a lot of other people who know what they are talking about. Master. Then there’s Adam, Anna, Tina and Mav. All extremely talented bad asses. I have to be careful about wearing my Iron Glacier hat because people keep flagging me down to let me know that it confuses their brain and what a great guy Adam is. Atlas is THE SPOT for your first or 50th tattoo.
