Shane was absolutely amazing made me feel comfortable the entire time and was so clean! And was so informative!I had made an appointment to get my nipples pierced! All I can say is he seriously the best! I had called around other shops to see what I can do as far as making appointments and such, and no one was helpful other than this shop! I’ll forever highly recommend people to come here, this place sure makes you feel good even during a pandemic and make you feel welcomed! Thank you so much for all your help you are amazing! Will return for future piercings!

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.

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.

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.

I was really excited to go pick out some new jewelry at a queer owned shop. I checked Ritual Arts website for their hours and any COVID related policies I should keep in mind while shopping and didnt find much so I hopped on the bus just to get off and see a sign that says appointment required in bold on the door. This is not mentioned on the website, for jewelry purchases at least. Ill be happy to spend my money elsewhere.

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

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 Ill go again!

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 Im 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!

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!!!

I love this place! Was going to go the mall to get my ears pierced but some friends talked me into coming here. Seven was super friendly and knowledgeable. It’s more expensive getting a pro piercing and worth every penny! A month later and they are doing great! I tell all my friends to go here now.

Everyone at this shop is so delightful, professional, thorough, and friendly and welcoming! Ive gotten four tattoos at Ritual, and two piercings. Every visit to the shop has been wonderful, and Ive left so happy each time. I cant recommend Ritual Arts enough.

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 theyd 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. Theyve 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. Well be going back to them for all of our piercings and will recommend them highly to everyone we know. Thank you for making my daughters experience so positive, easy, and memorable. Were both so thrilled with every step and the results!

Amazingly kind staff and incredibly talented artists. I highly recommend going here!!

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.

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.

Wife got a piercing here and had only nice things to say.

Seven is the most amazing person to see there for a good piercing

First problem: left me waiting outside for 30 minutes because they didnt check their check-in texts.Second problem: They didnt have any prices listed in the shop or on the website and they charged me over $100 to re-pierce my earlobes (one piercing in each ear, standard plain-Jane piercing) and they didnt even actually need to pierce them, they just needed to be stretched slightly.Comes with a pair of cheap garbage earrings that look like they came from the Claires discount bin.I cant speak to their skills as tattoo artists but their piercing costs are unjustifiably high.

Great folks. Very clean and they always make you feel at ease. Will continue to go back

“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!

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!

Ritual Arts is top notch! My daughter got a piercing and had a great experience with 7.

My son (11) got his ears pierced today and I got a dermal on my chest. Seven was incredible with my son, who went first. He explained everything in great detail and in terms my son understood clearly and made him feel comfortable. The level of precautions the shop is taking for Covid is beyond most medical facilities. As someone who got their first piercing 22 years ago, Ive been to my fair share of shops in all over the US and Canada. Ritual Arts stands out as one of the best!We will definitely be back!

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.

Ive gotten tattoo work here three times, all were sessions with Jason Stewart. Hes one of the most talented and professional artists that Ive been in close contact with.I had been an admirer of Jasons 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 spiders 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. Im 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 thats a beautiful and priceless gift.Bravo to Jason, and thanks to Ritual for keeping a quiet and comfortable space for the artists of Portland.

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!

Seven pierced my 6 year old daughters 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 could ask for a better experience for piercings.

Amazing jewelry in here, cleanliness is top notch and Ive 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 Im a forever customer.

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.

Im sure its lovely but can not get an appointment or someone to answer the phone.

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!

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 wouldnt 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.

The person at the desk was nice but they wouldn’t let me physically touch or hold any jewelry in the shop. I asked if I could handle and see some jewelry that was just sitting out and not sterilized but they wouldn’t help me. I just wanted to buy jewelry and they made it really hard and I won’t come back or recommend it.Editing to respond to your response:Thanks for writing back. I wasn’t offered gloves ever as your response indicates, and I asked if I could even hold non sterile jewelry with gloves, it was a flat no. Not even a conversation just “this is our policy.” No one offered to come out and speak with me either. They actually only would speak through the reception employee that played telephone between me and a piercer who clearly had no interest in helping me from the back.I understand health and safety standards and laws, I work with the public as well, but nothing I asked would have violated any health or safety rules/laws. I have a lot of piercings, plan on more, and buy a considerable dollar amount in jewelry. I refuse to buy online and choose to spend my money locally so when I went to two other piercers they gladly opened sterilized packages and let me handle jewelry as they mentioned they could just sterilize with the next batch. I spent $200 on jewelry that week at two different piercers where I made sure to explain the lack of service received at your location so they would know how their local partners were treating people that they recommend to go there.I was just looking for someone to provide better service with policies geared towards helping me buy the right purchase as these are sensitive purchases that are not returnable.

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!

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!

Great experience. Friendly staff. Well organized process during COVID times. Good at-home-care instructions. Thank you!

Luis is amazing! Shop was clean, friendly and welcoming.

Lovely people, talented artists, comfortable environment. Ill definitely be back!

I cant count on one the hand the number of times Ive 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. Ive 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! :)

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.

Beautiful jewelry and great service in online shop. Thoughtfully packed and presented. Will absolutely be ordering from them again!

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

Very friendly and caring about their customers

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.

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.

Will come back!!!!

Seven is the most professional and experienced piercer Ive 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. Id give ten stars if I could.

Ordered from the online store and had a great experience. Fast shipping and great customer service. Will be back soon!

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.

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!

Love this place! My girlfriend has always come here to have her piercings removed and put back in any time shes 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 cant remember) but when you return its free. The staff is amazing and theyre 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone here is nice and talented! Love my new tattoo and I’ll be going back for my next one! Thank you to everyone there and special thanks to my artist, Jesse Enz

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!! Cant rave more about this shop. 11/10 all the way.

This place is the best! The staff are always so kind and professional. If you’re getting a piercing, Seven will talk you through the whole experience in a very calming voice.

I got a nose piercing redone by Seven, he was excellent! Very precise and calm. The piercing looks great!

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.

I highly recommend this place for ink. Im 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 Ive had in a tattoo shop, and I will never forget that moment. It was truly amazing. Ive 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.

Just got my nostril pierced by Seven. Hes 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.

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!

Very friendly and happy people there make the experience awesome. Jesse is Great!! So talented and patient with this newbie

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 clients comfort.

Absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Was a great first time experience

Been working on a sick tattoo here. All the people that work here are great. High quality work.

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!

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

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. Hes 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.

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 husbands 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!

Jason is very kind and did an excellent job with my tattoo! I’ll be coming back for another one!

This place is an amazing institution! If youre looking for a tattoo or a piercing you definitely have to come here! Totally queer owned and lots of queer staff :-)

This is my favorite place in Portland. caring and thoughtful co-owners that have cultivated a very beautiful and diverse space. they really put so much care into everything they do and it shows in all the details!

Super neat layout. Looks almost sort of rustic, lots of wonderful art and jewelry available. Great artists there, very busy place. Id recommend getting a tattoo here

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.

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.

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 ♡

Lovely place for kind and knowledgeable tattoo artists and piercers. Beautiful selection of jewelry!

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!

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.

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.

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 cant 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!

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!)

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 were all set! 😂

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 :)

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!

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! Its just too bad that it took me this long to find such an amazing place!

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 Im sure the experience will be wonderful!

Best tattooists and piercers around. The shop is inviting and has the most incredible energy.

I just started a pretty ambitious multi-sitting piece with Chaz today and he was absolutely excellent. Everyone there is awesome. :)

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 Im definitely going back to see Seven for my next piercing. Wonderful.

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!

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 couldnt have asked for a better experience or kinder artist. Plus the tattoo looks amazing.

Reese was super nice and I love my new tattoo a lot!

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. :)

Seven was great to work worth. Clean place, friendly staff, comfortable space. Cant recommend this place enough. Thank you for the septum!

Got my nose done here. Was painless. Ask for Shane Wolfe. Hes the man. He doesnt rush, and helps you relax before the piercing.

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 Im going home every time I go in. I couldnt recommend them more!
