PINNED TO THE WALL
Four chairs, four very different hands. Pick the artist whose work you already like. That is the whole trick to a good tattoo.
Heavy black that stays black. Big shapes, clean edges, no gray soup.
Roses, reapers, and saturated color your grandkids will still read across a room.
Single needle work that holds up. If a design is too small to age well, he says so.
Twenty years in. Brings old, blown-out, or regretted ink back from the dead.
HEALED AND IN PROGRESS
Prints off the shop wall. Filter by style, then go look at that artist’s sheet above.
Three cities, nine tattoos. The last four all came from this room. You wait for your slot, and Mara draws the thing you couldn’t describe. The wait is part of it.

NO MYSTERY MATH
Your artist quotes the piece before any needle touches skin. Big and detailed costs more, simple costs less, and the number lands before the stencil does.

FORM 03-B · CONSULTATION REQUEST · BRIDGETOWN TATTOO COLLECTIVE
The idea, where on the body, rough size. Reference photos help; bring them to the consult.

READ BEFORE YOU SIT
The noticeboard, typed up. Most questions people call about are answered right here.
Friday and Saturday, noon to 6. Flash only, first come. The list opens at noon, in person, no phone holds.
State or federal photo ID, every visit, no matter how familiar your face is. Oregon law.
No exceptions, with or without a parent. Come back on the birthday, we will be here.
$100 holds your date and comes off the final total. Inside 48 hours of the appointment it stays with your artist.
Leave the wrap on as long as your artist said. Wash with unscented soap, pat dry, thin layer of ointment. Thin means thin.
It will itch. No scratching, no picking, no pools, no river floats, and keep it out of the sun.
Ask your artist before you buy anything. Half the products out there wreck the skin surface, and the linework with it.
Yes, we are open when it pours, which is most of November through May. Fresh ink heals better in a Portland winter than an August heat wave anyway.
