Rebeka is absolutely fantastic.
Not only is she a super talented tattoo artist and businesswoman, she also does her best to make sure the tattoo experience is as pleasant as possible.
I actually had a lot of fun with the 2 sessions we had! I had a couple of breaks, and I always felt comfortable throughout the entire process, from basic sketch to finished tattoo. Rebeka always made sure to ask my opinion as well for coloring and placement of some individual bits. The attention to detail and quality of service is just as amazing as the tattoo I left with. Thanks!! =)

Rebeka is so so talented and works to capture the true essence of her client's energy in each piece that she creates. I've gotten tattoos from a variety of artists over the years and my experience at Brass & Briar Studios is exceptional every time. There is a reason that I don't mind the time between appointment availability - it is totally worth the wait!

I have two tattoos from this studio. Kara did beautiful work for me. The shop is very inviting and inclusive. All the artists are incredibly talented. The fact that it’s a women owned and operated business is the icing on the cake!

This is my 4th time at Brass and Briar but 6th time having work done by Ethan. He is wonderful... professional, kind, and really listens to what you as the customer are looking for! The building is clean and pleasing! Everyone who works there is great! I have many more pieces planned and will continue to be a repeat customer!

Upon entry of the shop I was warmly welcomed by the staff of Brass and Briar. They were very attentive to what I was looking for and how they could help me. I got my tattoo from Rebeka and can’t even begin to express how much I love it; every one of her pieces is original and thoughtfully designed. Rebeka made sure that I was as comfortable as possible and right at home in her chair. Any breaks I needed were acknowledged and encouraged. I can only speak highly of Brass and Briar and the individuals that encompass the shop. Thank you all so much for the wonderful experience. I would recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a creative individual piece that you will be able to cherish for ages.

My second time at Brass & Briar with Rebeka, and I will never go to any other tattoo shop. She outlined my half sleeve (7 hours) and it is more magnificent than I could have imagined. Every aspect, the composition, the quality are remarkable. The whole experience is so much more than I've come to expect from the industry. Rebeka and Ethan care deeply about their craft, the shop, and each customer. From the ease of scheduling and sharing ideas, to the atmosphere, private tattooing space, etc.- whoever thought you could compare going to a tattoo shop to a visit to the spa. If you are looking for quality, go to Brass & Briar. Period.

My tattoo appointment and experience with Ethan was just wonderful and exactly what I was looking for with my second tattoo. I had waited a long time to find an artist that does what Ethan does and it was well worth the wait! Brass & Briar is also a beautiful studio that is comforting, clean and the kind of place where art is made. I think Ethan and Rebeka bring a new style to Portland that will only continue to gain in popularity and I'm just so thankful I found them! Ethan was simply amazing, and the fact that he knows every episode of The Office while we worked on my tattoo for 5 hours only added to the experience. Thank you Ethan for my amazing piece! I can't wait to see the business grow and I'm so happy to have met you!
