Cristian Cruz

Seven was the nicest person and really helped me feel calm while getting my first piercing. They explained everything with great detail as well as answered all questions I had. The place was also very well taken care of and sanitary precautions were above expectations. Would definitely recommend this place and Seven!

Alexandra Knell

Seven pierced my nose today, and I have to say, they did an amazing job! They talked me through the whole process and detailed me about the cleaning procedures done in the piercing room and answered all of my questions. The actual piercing lasted two seconds and barely hurt at all! The prices were reasonable for good quality jewelry and for the great customer service that came with it all! Thank you, will definitely be returning!

Jordan McLaughlin

This review is a year overdue, but Seven is AMAZING! I got my first piercings ever here, and Seven's bedside manner, gentleness, and calm aura were exactly what I needed to erase any nervousness and anxiety about the process. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, including what they do to sterilize and clean the equipment. His voice is wonderfully calming, too! The piercings didn't hurt at all, and now a year later I've stretched them to a size 8 with no complications or problems. I highly recommend!

SEVEN BILLION STARS for Seven. He had done a septum piercing for a friend of mine a few years ago, and I was so impressed with his bedside manner/professionalism/skill that I vowed to come to see them if I ever decided to get another piercing. I came in a few days ago to have my VCH re-pierced; it'd been a few years since it was taken out and I didn't think it was still open. Seven thoroughly explained everything that was going to happen and politely asked me to get undressed from the waist down. He chatted with me while he worked, and let me know where he was going to touch me before he touched me, something I really appreciated with this kind of piercing. He was able to get suitable jewelry through the existing hole with a taper and was as gentle as he could be about it. The shop is also so clean & bright, and everyone else I spoke to there was friendly and kind. Thank you so much, Seven! Stop reading reviews and just schedule your piercing appointment on their website right now :P

Fara was so incredibly consent driven and patient with our pre-teen today for their ear piercing! They took the time to walk through the procedure and showed so much respect even doing a simple earlobe piercing! There was one point they took the time to compare the fear of getting a shot to getting pierced. Both are scary and hurt a little but there's something powerful and intentional in choosing to get your ears pierced that makes it less intimidating. It was such a lovely thing to say and put our kid at ease. If you're looking for somewhere affirming, gentle, and professional for your kid's ear piercing, this is the place to go!

Michelle Garfinkel

I LOVE getting work done here. I've had piercings and tattoos and worked with several of the artists. They are super professional while also being deeply human and authentic. The work is incredible and the experience something to cherish. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Dallas Lyn Miller Downes

I worked with Seven to set up a piercing for my husband to celebrate our anniversary of our meeting. He and I had discussed him getting the piercing for a while and this was the right time. Seven was helpful and informative as I set up the piercing as a surprise. My partner said that Seven was professional, informative and friendly. We are so grateful and would highly recommend. Thank you Seven and Ritual Arts.

Brianna Anderson

Ritual arts is a beautiful tattoo shop in the heart of Hollywood. Avrey has been tattooing me for a few years now and she is absolutely amazing! Everyone at Ritual is warm, welcoming and all beautiful artists! I love getting tattooed here, and I always feel very comfortable and relaxed during my appointments!

Alec Epperson

This shop is great! I only went in for new jewelry, but the people working there were super helpful and friendly. All their jewelry looks to be made with good quality metals and materials too. Definitely going back for future piercings.

Kate Buccarelli

I had an incredible experience with Andru at Ritual Arts. Everyone there was very kind and Andru did an incredible job. They walked me thru every step of the process, ensured I was happy with the placement, and checked in with me repeatedly throughout my appointment. By far the best piercing experience I’ve ever had. They also have tons of beautiful jewelry available to choose from. Looking forward to coming back for more body mods and jewelry once these ones heal.

Emily Moothart

Seven made my son and me feel totally safe and at ease. The space was spectacularly clean, and he explained all their safety measures clearly. My son got his ear pierced and was sent home with excellent instructions for care. Highly recommend and will definitely go back if my son decides he wants another piercing.

Hannah Britain-Jones

I was thinking about getting another tattoo after it is safe and as I was looking at this shop I realized..I never left a review for the amazing tattoos I got here omg!!So I'm doing it now!!! I loveeee them, my first and second tattoo ever. When I get a vaccine and feel safe, I want another!This is a great shop and they really work with the client to make sure you get exactly what you want. I had an idea in my head and every time they nailed it completely!

Phil Dimotsis

Extremely professional, kind and dedicated artists - absolutely will come back. It has been an excellent experience working with Aubin and Jesse.

Jennifer Scott

I got a new nose piercing. But in the end it's to big for me so I made a appointment to get a smaller one. It hurts when I rub it against everything. You live & Learn! ☝🆙️ …

Michael Cofflin

I searched the best tattoo artists in Oregon and ended up at Ritual Arts, with Lou Martin. My sleeves are almost finished after about 2 years and they wildly exceeded any and all expectations I ever had!! All the artists at Ritual Arts are consummate professionals and I recommend them all, especially Lou, to anyone looking for amazing tattoos!!

Carson Carroll

They stabbed me real good! Wolfe was great at showing us procedures and how well they keep the place extra sanitary. If you're deciding whether or not to come here over someplace else, pick here hands down.

Olivia Hara

Bought some new jewelry on a whim here. The woman who helped me was super nice and patient she helped me as I tried on virtually every shiny thing. She even gave me a discount unless I did the math wrong. Thank you!! 😊 …

Abby Gillingham

Amazing vibes, super easy communication with Aubin who did my fine line ankle script tattoo! Awesome work, great experience for my first tattoo.

Adie Childs

This place is amazing. The people there are absolutely fantastic - Jesse did my amazing tattoo and was so so so great about hearing what I wanted, offering suggestions, and adding in his own beautiful touches. He and Orin checked in on me during the process to make sute I was doing well. I had been admittedly nervous about not seeing the art as I neared my scheduled date - I can say in hindsight that it was a silly worry to have. The piece Jesse made for me was glorious and worked quickly with me in making small adjustments. The day I went in he went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! I could gush about every bit of detail that I love about Ritual Arts and the folks that work there but honestly just go in and expierence it for yourself!

Elizabeth O'Malley

This is a beautiful shop with talented, respectful and professional artists! I brought my son in for piercing and hope to become a client myself soon. I left off one star only due to timing, our appointment took much longer than expected and I’m sure this is not the norm. 🙏🏽 …

Cora Schleicher

The team of artists at Ritual Arts were INCREDIBLE! The customer service was unbelievably attentive and kind and the piercings my nieces received were so thoughtfully done. Thank you so much!

david schauer

got my ears pierced here a month ago and they look perfect! super friendly staff and very knowledgeable.

Betty Marie

Very nice people working here! Professional, super clean, knowledgeable, kind. Beautiful selection of jewelry is a bonus.

Nicole J

My appointment to get my nose and ear pierced couldn't have gone better! Andru is so knowledgeable, talented, and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. Jade was also so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend them!

Katybeth Allen

Seven pierced my 6 year old daughter's ears today and we had such a great experience. He was a kind and gentle practitioner and I was very appreciative of the level of professionalism of the studio. You couldn't ask for a better experience for piercings.

Kellin Bonilla

I've gotten tattoo work here three times, all were sessions with Jason Stewart. He's one of the most talented and professional artists that I've been in close contact with. I had been an admirer of Jason's work via Instagram for a couple of years and I really wanted a custom piece by him. Shortly after he moved to Ritual (in the Hollywood district) from Robot (in NW), I contacted the Ritual shop to set up an appointment. The first session followed an initial consultation, where I presented a drawing that I wanted adapted into a tattoo piece. Jason was able to modify the size of the piece, a drawing of a spider's face, and added some legs that perfectly suited the piece. Though I had hoped for a right arm tattoo, he encouraged switching to the left arm. Looking back, I really appreciate this suggestion. The second session was mostly freestyle tattooing. I gave Jason a general concept of an eye set into some abstracted landscape. He did a stencil for the pupil and outline of the eye, and then tattooed everything else freestyle. To me, this was when I really started to see his artistic genius appear on my arm. His ability to mold personal vision and spirituality into an organic, one of a kind piece of art work is remarkable. He gave the piece a lot of life and movement, using smaller needles to lend an impressionistic, water like quality to the work. The third session, which was just over a month ago now, was another freestyle session. I gave a rather vague idea of wanting a face on my inner arm, linking to the spider legs on my outer arm. I just gave all trust over to Jason, and let him have at it. The session took about three and a half hours and was another stroke of artistic genius. I'm so grateful for all of the hard, focused work that has gone into my half-sleeve. The growth and evolution of the piece has helped me pursue my own spiritual growth, and that's a beautiful and priceless gift. Bravo to Jason, and thanks to Ritual for keeping a quiet and comfortable space for the artists of Portland.

Mariel Updegrove

I went here for the first time for a rook piercing. Calling ahead was a good idea for a piercing because they do those only on a walk-in basis. The person who answered the phone was friendly and was helpful in figuring the best time to come in so I wouldn't be waiting awhile. Lots of cool and beautiful jewelry to look at if you have wait though. I ended up buying a pair of wooden gauges that I crazy love. The piercer was incredibly knowledgable and personable. Everything was presented in a clean and sterile way, and they gave me detailed aftercare instructions. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a piercing, but I feel especially it would be a supportive and positive experience for someone getting their first piercing. I plan to go back for sure.

Robin Bennett

We went to spend the weekend in Portland and my daughter wanted to get her ears pierced. I did several days worth of research on piercing professionals in the area. There were many reasons I decided to go with Seven at Ritual Arts. Beyond their extensive experience and credentials, the fact that they are a reiki master led me to believe that they'd be just right for my daughter who does not do well at all with pain. Seven has a beautifully calm demeanor. They explained the process in a thorough, yet concise and easy to understand way. One of the most poignant things is that they gave my daughter control of the when. They explained that there would be no surprises or tricks that would catch her off guard. She would tell them when she was ready for them to do the actual piercing part so she would know exactly when it was coming. The whole experience went smoothly from the online booking to the time we walked out the door. Seven has found just the right balance between consummate professionalism and a reassuring bedside manor. They've gone above and beyond to ensure the shop and everything in it is immaculately clean and sanitized. They only let clients in the door after having done so between each appointment. We'll be going back to them for all of our piercings and will recommend them highly to everyone we know. Thank you for making my daughter's experience so positive, easy, and memorable. We're both so thrilled with every step and the results!

Lillie Lou

They aren't changing jewelry at this time however I love my peircing

Clara McMahan

Andru was super helpful, professional, and nice throughout my whole piercing process. He advised on piercing placement and explained his reasoning, and the piercing itself went super smoothly. On top of that, I really appreciate how COVID cautious the shop's policies are, it made me feel very comfortable knowing that they take such sensible precautions.

Alexis Cosgrove

Andru is a top tier piercer. Not only is his wall filled with certificates, but I could tell he takes pride in doing good work. Most of the time getting ready for my nose piercings was getting the placement JUUUUUST right. It’s not even been a week and my nose isn’t sensitive or irritated, even though I’ve had to get multiple nasal swabs this week. Also, if you’re queer like I am, you’ll feel right at home in the shop.

lindsay pearson

I received a tattoo from Jason Stewart at ritual arts. Not only was I pleasantly surprised by the polite conversation and the beautiful artwork (my tattoo is beautiful) but also the atmosphere and the kind humans who exist in that space make it feel like home even just for a few hours. I was checked in by three different staff and asked if I needed water by two. Folks were warm and lovely to be around. I will be going back. They’re the kind of folks you feel good giving your money to.

River Morningstar

What can I say! They go above and beyond for you! Especially when it's comes to everything being sterilized. Seven was amazing about my piercing! And made me feel comfortable. Definitely will go back for more piercings!

Jessi Szigethy

I made an appointment for my 7 year old to get her ears pierced. Andru did a great job explaining everything to both of us. The jewelry selection is beautiful. It was a great experience for both of us.

Leah Johnson

My daughter got her ears pierced by Seven Wolfe and they did an amazing job, my now-10-year-old remembers their accuracy and consulting with her. I remember Seven being ready to pull the plug when she said she was nervous 💗 …

Sonal Patel

Shane 7 Wolfe made my tragus piercing the most peaceful and mindful experience it could have been! No where else I would have gone, and no where else I'll go again!

Angela Balogh

I had my septum pierced with Andru. I was nervous, but they talked me through every step. He was really kind and made the experience easy. I’m sure I’ll be back and am glad I chose to go there.

Corinne Elaine

I just went in and got my double helix pierced and I would 100% recommend this shop for anyone looking to get any sort of piercing done. Walking in I was very nervous seeing as how I have not had any sort of piercing in 6 years, I was greeted with a kind face and someone willing to help calm my nerves. Seven walked me through the entire process in a very professional manner and was so helpful by talking me through aftercare and every step he was taking. I felt incredibly comfortable. I also admired the steps and precaution this shop is taking to stop the spread of Covid-19. They definitely went above and beyond my expectations and I WILL be visiting again next time I want a piercing or tattoo!

Grae E

Everyone at this shop is so delightful, professional, thorough, and friendly and welcoming! I've gotten four tattoos at Ritual, and two piercings. Every visit to the shop has been wonderful, and I've left so happy each time. I can't recommend Ritual Arts enough.

Wezley Dodds

We took our daughter here to get her ears pierced after lots of research. Seven was amazing and the experience was great. They did an phenomenal job and my daughter is so happy!! Highly recommend.

Sarah Graham

“He made me feel like we were a team” was my daughter’s review of Andru Rogge. She just got her ears pierced for the first time, and Andru made her feel safe and comfortable—while taking the time to really see her ears and get the holes in the best place—and didn’t even act a bit annoyed when I was likely in the way. A wonderful experience overall. We highly recommend this shop and Andru Rogge for your next piercing experience!

Heather Smith

They were absolutely amazing! Andru was so nice and professional. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely come back for future tattoos/piercing. Also their jewelry is beautiful.

Jamie Kearns

I have been going here for years for various tattoos and piercings. The staff is always friendly and very professional. I actually travel to Portland just to get my new tattoos done here! They are that amazing.

marinara

andru helped me out and it turned out perfect !! very professional and quick :) he respected my pronouns and walked me through the whole process . very good experience

Chris Clark

By far the best tattoo shop! Friendly staff and a top notch, super talented owner Jesse. He is working on my leg piece and I love it! I am extremely pleased. Go to Ritual Arts!!!

Hilary Rickher

Seven is the most professional and experienced piercer I've ever encountered. This spot is clean and serene. Seven made a point to explain every step, describe what he was doing as he was doing it and even helped guide deep breathing exercises during the piercing. I felt 100% calm and confident. This shop is extremely clean and everyone o encountered there was patient and kind. I would highly recommend Seven for your first piercing, for accompanied minors, or anyone who gets anxious with piercing. I'd give ten stars if I could.

Tamara Subotic

What a great experience. Seven was my piercer and he was incredible. So engaging, sweet, and made the whole process comfortable. I got both of my nipples pierced and will definitely be coming back for a few more piercings with him. Everything was meticulously clean and all around great. Even the tattoo artist was nice!! Can't rave more about this shop. 11/10 all the way.

Ty Mulholland

My sweetie and I got pierced two days ago and we are still talking about how amazing this place truly was. We both enthusiastically said “I have truly never had service that good anywhere”. From the minute we walked in until we were done we were treated like royalty. Seven and team were thorough, friendly and absolutely lovely in every way. Seriously, if you are in Portland and need a piercing, this is THE shop to go to.

Grace Neumann

I can't count on one the hand the number of times I've been to Ritual Arts for piercings. Seven goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable with both the piercing and safety protocol in the shop. I've been to plenty of other piercing shops, but I keep coming back to Ritual Arts, every time now. None of my piercings from Seven have ever been infected and they use really high quality jewelry for all of their body modifications. Everyone who works there is kind and welcoming, I would give this shop 100 stars if I could. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a positive piercing experience and environment! :)

Amethyst Goodman

My mom and I are from Washington and were in Portland for an appointment. We decided that we wanted to do something spur-of-the-moment and thought a piercing would be fun. I looked up places and Ritual Arts has great ratings.. And rightfully so! Our experience from the moment we walked through the door was second to none. The person at the front desk was super helpful and welcoming. Seven, the piercer, was not only gorgeous but friendly and EVERYONE was extremely informative. We left with hugs all around! Such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back.

Meredith Zauflik

I highly recommend Seven and Ritual Arts for piercing. The place is observing the highest safety measures for COVID, along with their typical high standard practices, and so you can feel completely safe. Seven took the time to explain everything to me and answer any questions. The process was great and the pricing was average/expected cost for a quality piercing.

Carmen Tomas

seven always takes great care of my ear piercings! the selection of jewelry is great and there’s something in most people’s price range. even if I am experiencing something out of the normal, I know I can stop in and get professional advice and suggestions. always love coming here!

liza ofuasia

just got my first piercing here, super friendly, and cute staff! they made me feel very comfortable for getting my nose done for the first time, i was really scared of getting an infection but they showed me they go above & beyond the requirements to insure safety & comfort while getting your piercing. highly recommend if you want to get your piercings here!

Aurora Hope

Came for a walk-in and had to a wait for a little (which was totally okay and I expected) the staff was all so kind and amazing and made me feel very comfortable. Reese is an amazing tattoo artist and makes the experience really amazing. The whole vibe of the place is very accepting and they have some great literature to read while you’re waiting too! Highly recommend.

F1ZZG1G _

Amazing jewelry in here, cleanliness is top notch and I've only ever came here to get all my piercings since I moved to Vancouver/Portland area, would 100% recommend and the artists are amazing. All the staff are super friendly and helpful.. Great place overall and I'm a forever customer.

Chris P

Love this place! My girlfriend has always come here to have her piercings removed and put back in any time she's had to have a medical procedure done. High Priestess Tattoo from Eugene, OR recommended this place to us. The piercing room is extremely clean and Seven is amazing at what he does. They charge a very small fee to take the piercings out (like $5 or $10 I can't remember) but when you return it's free. The staff is amazing and they're the most down to earth people. My plan is to talk to a tattoo artist in the future and have more work done for me.

Jose Madrid

I have been going here for nearly 6 years and I love every visit. Lou is my tattoo artist and I always get great results, plus the staff are all great to chat with! I am happy to see this place moving forward even during COVID. They’re also doing a great job at keeping COVID guidelines in mind for your safety. I always recommend my pals to visit this place if they’re looking to get a tattoo!

Andrea Matsumura

Friendly and informative staff. Polite and thorough with the process. My daughter had her ears pierced there and felt very comfortable. The attention to an aseptic environment was excellent. The choice of jewelry was great and had the better type of metal posts for new piercings.

Cadence Welles

This was my first cartilage piercing and as nervous as I was the staff helped make it a great experience. I got a triple helix, and all in all it took about 10-15 min with all the prep and explanations. I felt incredibly comfortable in the store, (which is super nice cuz one can't always assume that as a Trans woman) and the staff were friendly and helped explain everything as they went along with it. The piercer (Seven) explained all the sanitation procedures the shop goes through to help illustrate how clean it was, which is always a comfort. 5/5 stars, will come here for any piercings I will get in the future!

Remy Schwartz

I have been tattooed here and have gotten many piercings done. The staff is all very welcoming and friendly. This places is very fat friendly and queer inclusive. It’s the first place I always recommend when it comes to piercing! The tattooers they have on staff are diverse and all talented with many different styles. This place is RAD

Kristina Parr

Ritual Arts is absolutely amazing. They care so much about every client, and they take the best care of every detail. Each person there is an artist to their craft. This is a place where every person who goes will feel safe and included in the creative process. The positive energy fills each corner of Ritual.

Jordyn

I had such a wonderful experience at Ritual Arts. Staff was super friendly, environment was clean and comfortable, and I absolutely adored my tattoo artist, Aubin. She was really professional, easy going and her work is absolutely gorgeous! I love that this shop is completely cruelty free as well. I will definitely be back ♡

Kayden Crawley

Went in to get an earlobe re-pierced that closed up years ago and Seven was amazing! He was so informative on their sterilization process and changed his gloves after every single step. I felt so comfortable and informed and will definitely go back to get my second’s!

Rylee Marks

Andru and Jade were absolutely fantastic. I would love to come back again! I would highly recommend coming here for any piercing.

Harper Group PDX

Jesse is a creative genius. He was able to cover up a tattoo that I had done 12 years ago in just one session. I felt completely comfortable and at home instantly. Jesse was able to take a vision that I had in my head and make it better than I could have ever imagined. I actually teared up when I saw the rough sketch. Everyone is kind, courteous and accepting that works there. You can tell that they all have a real purpose and passion for the work that they are doing. I would not recommend any other tattoo or piercing studio! It's just too bad that it took me this long to find such an amazing place!

Kai H

Everyone who works at Ritual is very kind. Jesse did my tattoos and he is super talented! They tell you when the inks expire and go through what they do to keep everything clean, offer snacks if your blood sugar is low, and make sure you understand the after care process.

David Barrett

Ritual Arts is a great place. Bright, open and clean. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Jesse Enz has done several tattoos for me with several more to come. His work is detailed and precise and he takes care of a client's comfort.

Victoria Colvin

Awesome shop. I got a tattoo by Aubin. The process was very smooth, and it was a great experience for my first tattoo!

Savannah Manwell

Great welcoming environment with radiating good vibes throughout the building. With great tattoo artists and a wide selection of beautiful jewelry to select!

Nicole Nevan

I got my first tattoo at Ritual Arts and definitely plan to continue getting my work done here. Jesse worked with me to design exactly what I was looking for, and was a joy to work with. Going to try Ritual Arts out for all my future piercing needs as well, and I'm sure the experience will be wonderful!

Brandi Boyett

I love it here! Everyone is so peaceful and positive... My artist Chaz was extraordinarily patient with me while I nitpicked the last details of my design (and I really needed that). The vibe is wonderful - they care about their energy. I absolutely recommend Chaz for tattooing and I'm definitely going back to see Seven for my next piercing. Wonderful.

Jake Monkey

Best ink and piercings hands down. Jesse is pure pro and Seven may be the most meticulous piercer I've ever met. A little spendier than some places, because you get what you pay for. Highly welcoming trans staff who know their work.

Krystofir Zero

I highly recommend this place for ink. I'm autistic and I totally forgot my headphones for my session, so the front desk person brought over a little laptop and played Elton for me. It was really some of the best customer service I've had in a tattoo shop, and I will never forget that moment. It was truly amazing. I've only seen one artist, Chaz, and they did a great job with my tattoos, I loved all the attention to detail and their gentle touch. I will definitely be going back. 😊 These are day after pics of my fresh ink.

Sea Cummins

Seven goes the extra mile with cleanliness and explaining every step. He pierced my daughter's nostril and she is very happy with it. We went back and he helped me with a former piercing which I wanted to empower within myself and update. He was very understanding and by the way always supplies you with aftercare instructions and your own packet of seasalt! The vibe in the place is awesome and the tattoos always look so good I'm considering one.Edit: Seven was a lot presumptuous by placing a huge gauge nipple post without asking me plus it was extra wide to supposedly compensate for swelling. He basically snickered sarcastically and said when I “get tired of” the large pin to come back. I felt so frustrated with this I never went back and lived with these ugly pins in my nips for two plus years. Watch out for this lack of consensual procedures.

Alex Bertolucci

This is one of the best tattoo shops I have been too. The staff are all top notch and know their stuff. They are all artists in the truest sense of the word. They make you feel comfortable the whole time. If you are looking for a tattoo or piercing this is the place to go.

Jake Antles

Aubin has been incredible to work with and I could not be happier with my tattooing from her or my experience with Ritual Arts

Sarah Eggleston

Today was my second visit to Ritual. First time with Shea for my nostril, and today a double tragus with Seven. Both piercers are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They explain the process in depth and give you thorough aftercare instructions. In addition, they are both super sweet and kind. Both piercings were also relatively pain free. Thank you for running such a professional and friendly business! I will continue to visit for piercing needs and refer friends and family. :)

Hope Smith

Great clean shop with talented artists. Aubin does a great job making you feel comfortable, and her line work is beautiful!

leah g

Chaz Vitale put an amazing chest piece on me, and I felt great about it from start to finish. He's a phenomenal artist, and he has big paintings on site, so I knew I would like his color and shading. He was so thoughtful and attentive about the design and placement, and about the experience I was having during the tattoo. I felt so cared for and had exactly the experience I was hoping for, only better. Really easy and clear communication, great with my questions, accommodated my family who came to hold my hand and witness. I have other big pieces, and this is the one I feel great about. I really can't recommend this guy enough-

Steph MacPherson

Brought my teen in after she decided to pierce her own navel (yes, she did!). They were so helpful and discussed issues with her, removed it, and sent us on our way. She had not done a true navel piercing but more of a surface piercing, per the staff. It was becoming infected and working itself out. Safest thing to do was remove. They kindly did this under sterile conditions and gave good care info. The no charge for visit at the end was unexpected and very kind, especially in that things are very tight for us right now. They did not know this though. I dont have any piercings but would for sure go here should I need or my kids do in the future!

Kirstin Grace

The shop is a peaceful space, clean, and filled with good vibes. Shea is knowledgeable, beautiful and friendly. She helped switch out the jewelry for my nose piercing and gave me some extra care tips. Ill be back for future piercings. Highly recommend!

Charlie Bradbury

I got my nipples pierced here and as much as getting your nipples pierced sucks, it was a great experience. She went at my pace when I was ready and gave me the time I needed in between each nipple. Let me sit there for a few.minutes afterwards and gave me great instructions for care. A month and a half in and my nipples are healing fantastically! No discharge at all, no pain, I've even been able to change out the jewelry!! I *highly* reccomend going here for tattoos or piercings. ^_^

Kendra Maculagh

The whole staff was lovely and accommodating. I went in for piercings and Seven was tremendous. I felt comfortable and cared for the whole time and let feeling oddly inspired and empowered. Definitely recommend.

Ellie Letterman

Just got my nose pierced by Danny. I went to Ritual Arts because of the reviews and I understand why they are so highly rated! So sterile, so kind, very knowledgeable! Staff are really friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Makayla Serniotti

Just went in for a consultation today, will update with the tattoo once I get it. My girlfriend and I are getting matching tattoos with Louis. He's a really fun, creative and chill guy, and was super excited for this project. The shop was super clean and homey feeling, and my girlfriend and I had a good time looking around the shop.

Richard Test

The tattoo is still in progress and will be returning soon. The staff are all quite friendly and the facility is open clean and inviting. I looked at a lot of tattoo studios in Portland. And Ritual Arts has some of the finest artists I have had the pleasure to pick from.

Lori Lochelt

My husband is fighting brain cancer and has had several MRIs in the last 5 months. His earrings must come out for those and I have the hardest time getting them back in. Many thanks to Seven for putting my husband's earrings back in and for his great compassion. The entire staff at Ritual Arts is friendly, helpful, and kind. I will always give them my business and recommend to my friends. Thank you Ritual Arts!

Whitney Morse

I only get my piercings and tattoos as Ritual Arts. They are clean, vegan and every person there is oh so talented. They treat everyone like family. I feel like I'm going home every time I go in. I couldn't recommend them more!

Josh McCraney

i never write reviews, but AUBIN CARLSON has the best line/dot work in Portland. I came in today (6/12/19) requesting an entirely different tattoo than what we discussed. Aubin was very professional, understanding, and gave me an INSANELY good tattoo!

Anja Lazaro

This place is amazing! They take COVID protocols VERY seriously and go above & beyond to make you feel comfortable. Seven thoroughly explained everything they were doing as they did it. I will definitely be back!

Just got my nostril pierced by Seven. He's really awesome. Everyone there seemed really sweet. They have yummy organic lollipops! I will definitely be going back for another piercing and maybe a tattoo or two in the future.

Sheryl Holly-Taylor

Awesome staff...friendly...polite...helpful...Andru was awesome... did a piercing for me and was very polite and gentle....would go to them again for another piercing if needed any done.

Anjanette Merriweather

This place is great! Seven is a super expert on piercings, makes you feel comfortable, explains everything from sterilization to what hes doing and why and answered all our questions! Now he just needs to watch Halloweentown and we're all set! 😂 …

Katie Cleary

Seven helped me out yesterday with an old septum piercing I wanted to redo. When we realized the previous hole was still open, Seven just inserted the jewelry for me and it was such a great experience. Will be returning for all my piercing needs :)

Tessa Taylor

Reese did my tattoo. I couldn’t be more in love with it. All of the artists here are very impressive. Fair pricing, very kind, cool and professional individuals. Thanks for my beautiful tattoo. Still crying. Will be back to this shop.

Emery Olson

Seven is amazing. My piercings were perfectly placed and are healing wonderfully. I would recommend this place to any and everyone. (But especially my queer friends that want to be treated respectfully!)

Tamara subotic

7!!!!!!!!! He is AMAZING! I can't vouch for him more. I got my third piercing from him, my smiley, or upper frenulum. He is just the best. If you want a piercing done efficiently, correctly, and safely, go to Ritual Arts and ask for Seven.

Arielle Moyer

The second I walked into Ritual Arts I knew I would like it. The space is open and work areas for the artists are clean. Aubin worked on my first ink from paper to skin and I couldn't have asked for a better experience or kinder artist. Plus the tattoo looks amazing.

Angelo M. De Ieso II

My experiences at Ritual Arts in Portland have been with Aubin who is a consummate professional with both artistic and technical prowess. Very personable and imaginative. Aubin is the best tattoo artist I have ever had easily. Judge for yourself. Everyone at RA is friendly and accommodating. Cheers!

Samantha Beeler

By far the most wonderful piercing and tattoo experiences with Seven and Jesse! It was such a pleasure, and I look forward to returning soon!

Kate manougian

Jesse Enz- Goes above and beyond for his clients. If you want a tattoo that is everything and more please go to ritual arts. The passion and artistry is perfection.

Daniel Gregg

Good shop. I recommend Luis. He took the time to line up the tattoo on your frame. I have never seen that in other artists. He colored matched pretty darn well, too. Very good detail.

evilblackcats916

Jesse enz was amazing and I will definitely go back for more work, after 3 years my tattoo and it still looks like I got it done recently "after healing" he worked really well for the custom design which I had drawn and the placement/color saturation is perfect

Amanda Claypool

I had the absolute BEST experience here. I’ve been to many other (local) shops and after visiting Aubin here at Ritual Arts I will never go anywhere else. All the artists here have so much talent it’s unreal.

Dan Mclean

professional 100% cleanliness 100% recommend 100% this was my first Piercing I felt completely comfortable.

Natalie Dubovskaja

1. Chaz was friendly & re-drew the tattoo sketch when I told him it looked a bit crooked once he put it on my skin,the 2nd try was perfect. 2. Charged me less: the flat fee is 60$,but I paid 50$! Great experience overall,highly recommended!

Alex Laughnan

Got my first tattoo from here. They are personable and connect with your aesthetic and design wishes. The price is right and their attention to detail is impeccable.

LK

Ritual Arts is rad! Highly recommend going for all piercing related things. Shane is the absolute best and very professional.

Dagny Bach

Lovely staff, beautiful little shop, great tattoo experience with Reese, he took our design, cleaned it up a little and made it perfect! Very very happy with the finished product!

Anthony Hinkle

I got a cover up from Chaz. It was like he was reading my mind when he drew it up. He was such a great person to talk to during the tattoo, and kept me laughing the whole time. The tattoo itself far surpassed my expectations, and it's not even done yet. I now have a "tattoo guy" that I will be going to exclusively - Chaz at Ritual Arts.

Chelsea Waddell

This place is so great! Beautiful and unique jewelry, super clean, and professional! They really made it a fun experience and the people who work there clearly love what they do! Can’t wait to come back.
