EXCELLENT Based on 466 reviews winnie ortiz2025-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony was great with my walk in session. Very professional and knows what he’s doing! Julie Montano2025-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is hands down one of the most gentle and most articulate tattoos I’ve ever had done. Todd was thoughtful and considerate, super easy to pitch ideas to, engaged me in the process and man did I mention gentle? It’s so so beautiful. I could not have asked for a better experience. Super fair, super clean, and so incredibly talented. I feel like a lottery winner for real-Port City Tattoo was recommended to me and I’m recommending them to you. ; ) check out this amazing tattoo!

He was considerate and answered any questions and let me take my time with decisions. Everything was clean and my tattoo looks great!

AyJee _2025-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in for a walk-in. Was instantly greeted by a wonderful individual named Todd. Made me feel at home. While I was signing I met the person who was going to do my tat and he was one of the coolest/chillest person I’ve ever met! My brother ED! I was soo nervous for my first tattoo, he told me there was nothing to worry about and told me all the things about tattoos/The Needles. Then I was chill for the rest of the session. Literally RECOMMEND everyone to come here! Danielle Kavanagh2025-09-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick and efficient and did a great job! Super clean place!
