Infinity Tattoo

Patrick did a great job with Jason’s first tattoo. He was very personable and made a first timer feel comfortable. We will be returning customers.

I had a great experience with Patrick at Infinity Tattoo while visiting Portland last week. I was extremely happy with Patrick’s skill and artwork. The shop is very clean with a professional vibe. The entire visit was top notch, when I visit again I will be back!

Great place — Patrick is excellent! Came back to Portland recently and made an appointment to finish up a sleeve I’d been working on. Patrick is very professional and dependable, and especially patient with clients like me that are really particular about the design. He spent extra time with me to go through concepts and create some truly original and beautiful artwork. The friends I’ve sent here have also been very happy. The shop is clean and comfortable, and the vibe is relaxed. I live in NYC but only entrust my work to Patrick at Infinity!

Patrick at Infinity drew up a gorgeous original design for me based on ideas I shared during my consultation — we were exactly on the same page and his drawing was better than anything I could have dreamed up! Scheduling my appointment was a breeze, and my two hour tattoo session was awesome. I felt totally comfortable with Patrick, the shop is super clean and it’s clear that the artists are professional and incredibly talented. What else can I say? I had a great experience and would recommend Infinity and Patrick to anyone — he specializes in lettering and does great American Traditional work too.

What a great experience getting a tattoo from Paul Zenk at Infinity. He and I met a couple of weeks in advance to look over some reference art and plan the drawing, and he was kind and enthusiastic about what I wanted to do. I was delighted when I saw his drawing — he totally nailed it. Paul was friendly and cheerful while he did the work, and I didn’t feel a bit rushed even when his next appointment arrived nearly an hour early because they were so excited about *their* tattoo. I will absolutely be back again. :)

Got a tattoo here in May of this year with Dean.
Originally wanted to get it done by Amanda but when I contacted them via email she told me she wasn’t tattooing due to hand troubles. She gladly directed me towards her colleagues though if I still decided to stick with the shop.
I did because this seemed like a reputable shop with all of these Unilocal reviews and the portfolios of each of the artists here are all outstanding. My tattoo was pretty simple anyways.
Dean is a cool guy. I requested that my tattoo should include specific colors and he did just that. The overall experience was a breeze.
Impressed by the customer service and the quality of their work, my friend booked an appointment for the next day to get his first tattoo. We were only in Portland for a weekend, so might as well.
His experience went great as well. He didn’t get Dean to do his tattoo but another gentleman did it. Didn’t get his name but he was cool.

A really great experience here. Paul did my tattoo and it turned out FAR better than I thought it would, which was impressive since I was just having him copy an image. Really great atmosphere, I felt in really good hands the entire time I was there. Will definitely visit again.

I have gone to Paul at Infinity three times now and every time I leave happier and more amazed by his skill! The image I wanted was difficult: a 3-​D rendering of an ancient Mother Goddess carving. Using a close-​up photo of the sculpture, Paul created the most beautiful tattoo I’ve ever seen, with gorgeous colors and flawless shading. He exceeded my expectation in every way, and I recommend him (and Infinity in general) without reservation!

I’ve been in twice for myself and three other times with friend and we have all been thrilled! Colby is incredible! He created a beautiful thigh piece for me, and it is just stunning. I absolutely love it! Everyone in the shop is kind and funny which is wonderful in general, but extra great when you are laying on a table for a few hours. I would recommend Infinity Tattoo to anyone and I plan to get all my future tattoos with them!

My experience at Infinity Tattoo was wonderful from beginning to end! My friend and I went in together to get long-​anticipated tats together. Paul exceeded our expectations, and we are both thrilled with our new body art! Paul understood what we each wanted, and was able to create our masterpieces beautifully … and with such a great sense of humor, helping to ease the discomfort. I happily recommend Paul, and Infinity Tattoo for anyone looking to get a tattoo! Thanks for the fantastic experience, Paul!

I got my tattoo done by Patrick, it was just a small quote on my back but I love it ! I would recommend making an appointment if you don’t want to wait forever as I went in on a Saturday and didn’t make an appointment which was my bad but all and all I love my tattoo

Great tattoo experience with Patrick. My friend and I were greeted with friendly and accommodating tattoo artists; Paul the owner and Patrick. They took us as walk-​ins and Patrick gave us both beautiful tattoos. Thank you!

Love my new tat. Dean is the bomb. We had a great time yesterday afternoon getting our first tattoos.

I would love to state that this was a great experience and that I absolutely love my tattoo. Unfortunately, that is not true. I went with the idea of getting a white ink tattoo. Myself and a friend called ahead and made an appointment. We even made sure the artist would know that I wanted white ink. When we arrived I noticed the artist, Dean, had black ink out. I brought up the fact that I wanted a white ink tattoo and he just kind of looked at me. He then went on about how he thought it was «stupid» and «redundant» to do white lettering. He is the artist and likely knows exactly what he was talking about. However, I am the one paying and I wanted white ink. I have another white ink tattoo and I love it. I get that it is not the «artistic statement» most tattoos are expected to be but for me they are perfect. Anyway, our disgruntled artist didn’t lay off until I told him I would go else where. Finally he stated «no it’s your tattoo». No shit sherlock. Thank you. Was he actually so concerned about his reputation or how it would turn out he could have refused to do my tattoo. I would have been annoyed but respected his decision because I would like my tattoo to be done by someone who would do it happily.
Hindsight, I wish I would have walked out. That was my bad.
The tattoo itself is still healing so I am hoping that the finished product is as beautiful as I know it could be.
Like I said, I bet Dean is an awesome artist with his black and grey and color. Unfortunately, the way he treated would not allow me to recommend him to anyone, nor would I choose to go back. I do admit I am not a tattoo expert. I only have a few. But I do know exactly what I like and what I want and I expect that decision to be respected. It was not.
Btw, my first white ink tattoo was done by a man called Dr. Bacon. He was completely different than Dean. He, sadly, has left Dead Gods and I am not sure where he is. Otherwhise I would have gone to him. He didn’t give me shit for wanting white ink. He freehanded the script. Essentially, he was amazing! If you can find him, go to him!

Colby did an outstanding job. I love the way my tattoo came out. Thank you so very much!

I got a tattoo here almost 4 years ago. Everytime I consider posting about the experience, I choose not to because time has passed and I had hoped mine was a one off experience. But someone today asked for a recommendation, and I quite purposefully wanted them to avoid this place, so I looked it up. I was saddened to realize it was not just my experience.
4 years ago i wanted a commemorative tattoo. I looked up Unilocal ratings, this was the best and Sean was the best, so I booked the appointment plenty of time out. I had a very specific design I wanted, which I forwarded to Sean well ahead of my appointment, including why i wanted the tattoo. I didn’t need an estimate, I was happy to pay any amount.
I showed up at my appointed time, and Sean was… well he was a jerk. He told me that my design couldn’t be where I wanted (inner ankle, behind ankle bone) and couldn’t be the design i’d chosen (which was done in illustrator, wasn’t just some sketch). But because it was on the anniversary of the day i wanted to commemorate, and because I was embarrassed, I stayed. I let Sean redraw the letters and tell em where to put the tattoo.
And then i prepared for what I assumed would be a few hours. It took 20 minutes. it took 20 minutes because everyone was ordering lunch and Sean wanted to eat. I offered to wait until after lunch, but he kept saying it was fine. I didn’t utter a word, I stayed completely still, I did not complain. it wasn’t my first tattoo and I was not a pain about it.
The tattoo is not remotely close to the drawing, which was a cartoon, and could have been followed line by line. No reason NOT to be followed line by line. I hate the lettering. The color didn’t stick because he basically created scar tissue.
I had another artist in Arizona fix the tattoo as much as possible, but he and my dermatoligist agree he did a bad job technically (scar tissue). Everything he said could not be done, was easily done by other tattoo artists.
Now, upon reading the other reviews, I realize. its a girl thing. Perhaps he IS a great tattoo artist with men, but read the reviews– women complain. If so, the shop should not schedule him with women.
I don’t write this to make him feel bad… but if hes going to be in service he should do a better job of the service part.

My daughter and I just had our first tattoos done at Infinity by Colby. Love his work and he was very kind to us first timers. Paul was there too and helped make the whole experience fun and light hearted. The shop was nice, bright and clean.
As first timers it would have been nice to know that not only does the tattoo peel and itch it’s also rather dull at the one week mark. Another site said this was normal and it will look sharp and bright again soon, phew!
Overall, it was great experience. Not intimidating at all. Colby and Paul are so relaxed it helped me and my daughter be relaxed.
I would definitely go back to Colby at Infinity. There is just no way to adequately describe the experience of art coming to life on your own skin, amazing!

Drop what your doin and see Dean at Infinity. He does quality work, works with you on design and produces true artwork you can be proud to display. The other guys do great work and they don’t have any bad tattoo artists. Don’t listen to any bad reviews on here, those people aren’t happy with anything in life. Hit up Dean, he’s the shit!

I can’t say enough positive things about the experiences I’ve had at Infinity! I wanted to see Paul Zenk since I’d heard such great things about him from folks all over town. I had an idea of what images I wanted, but couldn’t quite picture how it should look. Paul was so helpful in incorporating the components I wanted, and tying it all together in a beautiful way. This tattoo is enormously important to me as it symbolizes my family and my recently deceased father. Paul recognized the significance to me and talked with me a lot about my family and what each item meant. I not only felt completely comfortable in Paul’s artistic hands, but also felt very supported while navigating an emotional process.
My tattoo was done over two sessions, so I had plenty of time to get a feel for the shop and the other professionals. This is clearly a group of talented and dedicated artists who are serious about their work, but are also able to have fun and promote a fun and comfortable environment. Paul has helped me to plan my next ink installments, and I’m excited to see him in a couple weeks to keep my tattoo adventure going!
Tattoos are forever, so you must do your research. When your search for a great tattoo parlor and amazing artists inevitably leads you to Infinity, you won’t be sorry.

I am so happy with my latest Dean piece. It’s hard to believe it all started with a terrible MS Paint picture of a tortoise in a hula skirt playing the ukulele that I had scribbled out at work and emailed off to him. It’s great that he has a sense of humor!
This is my third «sweet tat» by Dean. He is super talented, creative, and can draw. That means, he’ll take the ideas in my brain, make it look good, then expertly transfer that to my skin in permanent form. He and the couple other awesome guys that were there are just cool to talk to too. Being in good company, listening to good music, making jokes, telling stories, and having Dean tap his foot like he’s playing the drums really helps pass three hours.
My husband and I are already having talks about who gets to see Dean next.
