My artist was Kara Munro and she was wonderful! She listened to me explain my desired tattoo and then brought it to life with her talented drawing. She printed multiple sizes and helped me think about placement. She took pictures for me and was patient, since this was my first time. The tattoo took 2 hours and we chatted the whole time. I am in love with the results and I’ll be going back to her to add more when the time comes!

Brass & Briar is such a clean and welcoming tattoo studio, filled with great art, a spotlessly clean aquarium, and complimentary slippers to wear while getting tattooed! The staff is super nice, and the art that Ethan Bennett created for my tattoo design was beyond beautiful. Ethan was extremely professional (no smoke-breaks) and he is an incredible artist; I am beyond thrilled with how this tattoo came out. Thank you Ethan, and the staff at Brass & Briar!

Not only is Brass and Briar in a beautiful spot in Portland, the shop itself is as warm and inviting as the artists who work there. Ethan and Rebecca both put out incredible work with a wide variety of styles, in a clean and professional setting. I have been booking with Ethan for three years now, and each tattoo is consistent, clean, beautiful, and well designed. These artists will surely elevate the level of tattooing Portland is used to, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, custom tattoo. Thanks again Ethan!

Rebeka is not only an incredible artist but a delight to sit next to for 3+ hours. The art she created for my tattoo was jaw dropping and fit every single criteria I gave in my consultation appointment. The studio was very clean and the pandemic protocols made me feel very safe.

I have had multiple tattoos from Rebeka and am currently working on a sleeve tattoo. She is professional, sanitary and such a talented artist. She has a wide range of tattooing styles that she is trained and accomplished in. Her tattooing is so precise. She is efficient in her work and her dedication to her clients experience is unique. I do not know of any other tattoo shops that place such an emphasis on that. She is well worth the wait, and I would trust any of her fellow tattoo artists that work at B&B implicitly.

Hands down the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. Brass & Briar studio is beautiful, unique and not to mention immaculate!
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating (they offer you slippers!) and of course, incredibly talented.
During my consultation, Ethan really took his time listening and talking me through my ideas and then he transformed them into an extraordinary piece to cover a previous tattoo I was unhappy with. I’m thrilled with the results and can’t wait to go back to plan and receive many more tattoos in the future!
If you’re wondering where to get your next tattoo, the search is over. Brass & Briar knows what’s up.
Thank you all so much!

Ethan did an amazing job on my tattoo! The studio space is absolutely beautiful, spacious, warm and inviting. The experience from start to finish was great, and I can’t wait to go back. Ethan has such a talent and it was an honor to get work by him! He really went above and beyond for the piece. You definitely won’t be disappointed when you visit this shop!

I had a great experience getting a tattoo with Rebeka. Her work is amazing! I’m thrilled with how my tattoo looks. Also, I loved how easy she was to talk with. She definitely made the four hours go by a littler quicker.
