About Us

Where Bold Artistry Meets Respectful Craft

Black Collar Tattoo was built on a simple belief: every piece of skin tells a story, and that story deserves to be done right. Our studio on SE Powell Blvd is a space where creativity has no ceiling and safety is never compromised.

We work closely with each client to develop custom designs that are unmistakably theirs — no templates, no shortcuts. Whether you're coming in for a small meaningful piece or a full-body project, you'll leave with something you're proud to carry.

What We Do

Services Built Around You

Every session is tailored to your vision, your comfort, and your skin. Here's how we bring your ideas to life.

Custom Tattoo Design

Every piece starts with a conversation. We translate your ideas, references, and stories into original artwork — then ink it exactly as designed, never copied from a flash sheet.

Cover-Ups & Corrections

Bad tattoo? We get it. Our cover-up process turns faded, botched, or regrettable ink into something you actually want to show off — with a fresh design made just for your canvas.

Piercing

Professional piercings done with implant-grade jewelry and sterile technique. Ear, facial, body — we set a high bar for healing and aftercare guidance.

Sleeves & Large Pieces

Full sleeves, back pieces, thigh wraps — our large-format work is planned meticulously across multiple sessions so every element flows together as one cohesive statement.

Fine Line & Detail Work

Delicate linework, micro-realism, and intricate detail — our artists specialize in pieces where precision matters most. Every hair, every shadow, every curve placed with intention.

Consultations

Client Stories

What People Say

I walked in nervous about my first tattoo and left feeling like I'd been taken care of the whole way through. The artist listened to everything I wanted and made it better than I imagined.

Sarah M.

First-time client · Portland

They did an incredible cover-up on a piece I'd regretted for years. I didn't think it was possible, but now I get compliments on it constantly. Truly talented team.

Marcus T.

Cover-up · Southeast Portland

The attention to detail on my sleeve is unreal. Every session felt collaborative — they actually cared about getting it right, not just turning out work. That's rare.
