Custom tattoo studio · Portland
Art you'll wear for life, drawn just for you.
Fine line, blackwork and traditional tattoos in a clean, relaxed studio. Every design starts with a conversation, never a template.
About us
A tattoo is a story. We help you tell it.
Black Ember is a small, artist-owned studio. We spend time understanding your idea, your body and your style, then sketch something that fits you perfectly.
Hospital-grade sterilization, single-use needles and a calm, judgment-free space come standard with every session.
