Amazing!

by jasonrichards

I went into the SE portland location on a couple referrals from friends and coworkers to see Jesse. Although Jesse was really nice, and took the time to really listen to what i was envisioning i wasn't sure if i could get my first tattoo in such a loud and unprofessional environment. So when Jesse was trying to schedule the appointment and said he worked at both locations, i decided to take a chance on the other store. he made an appointment for me 2 weeks out. i went to the beaverton store to look at the artwork before my appointment...Not only was my tattoo design better thank i imagined, but the store was great! Still friendly, but not so loud ! I tell everyone to see Jesse and go to Adorn. I really couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Jesse for making my first tattoo such a memorable experience, and working with me through those SPICY spots!!!

• Pros: friendly clean great art!
• Cons: takes a while to get an appointment

I actually heard about Adorn first when I saw someone in the grocery store with a beautifully done hibiscus? on her shoulder. I asked her where she got her work done, and she raved about Adorn. I've been wanting to get some ink done for a while, and did my research and chose Adorn for my first tattoo. I went in on Tuesday afternoon, and brought my idea/drawing from my favorite children's book with me. I talked with Justin? I think about it, and he was able to schedule me in for an appointment with Jesse on Wednesday afternoon.

Jesse took my drawing and script idea and made it a bit larger than the original, but it fits perfectly in the space I wanted it to occupy on my left forearm. He put me at ease pretty much right away, and I had a very minor pain freak-out right before the needle touched my skin because this WAS my first tattoo, and I had built it up to be this awfully painful thing. Then he started the outline on the script. I looked at him with incredulity and said, "That's it?" and the next hour flew by.

I've shown picturess of the tattoo (and the actual tattoo) to friends who have had a LOT of ink done themselves, and they have sung Jesse's praises, and told me that it's a beautiful piece of art. These are people who would be bluntly honest about it if it sucked, so you know it's really good. I'll definitely be back to see Jesse in the future, now that I know it's not at all an unpleasant experience. :)

Even my mom who is not a fan of tattoos loves my fuzzy bunny-bird in the tree. She has to though, since she's the "tree" I come home to. ;)

• Pros: clean, friendly, reasonable price for incredible work
