One of my kids has wanted a tattoo for the longest time and so I took him here. Id heard great things from the kids at MECA and in asking around. Reuben was awesome. Totally put Ajax at ease and made it a great experience for both of us. The tattoo came out great and Ajax has gotten so many compliments on it already. Thank you!

Came in and they were extremely helpful and polite. Told them we were out of town and he managed to get my fiance and me in the next day. We dealt with the tattoo artist named Pete and he is amazing! My fiance got a portrait of our pitty mix. It came out AMAZING!!! We gave him 3 pictures and he picked the best one out.. and just did an OUTSTANDING job! I would recommend this shop over and over to anybody looking for quality work. It also has a great atmosphere.. nice rock music playing, but very mellow. (BTW: theres a few other artists that work here too, in case you were wondering)

Got my first tattoo here. Theyre really friendly, and Im totally gonna be a repeat customer!

Can’t say enough positive things about this shop! I’ve had 2 small tattoos done by both Ruben and Jeff and couldn’t be happier with the results. Everyone here is kind, professional and insanely talented! I now live a few hours away but would gladly travel the distance should I ever want another. Can’t see myself going anywhere else and would recommend to anyone. Whether you’re looking for something intricate or simple- they’ll hook you up !

Been working on my traditional tattoo sleeve with Reuben for over a year now and cant imagine getting in done anywhere else.

Amazing place, great work

Definitely the place to go for quality work in Portland. Thank you Matt and crew for continuously great results.

Pete was terrific and helped me get exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!

Reuben was a thoughtful pleasure to work with (especially as a first-timer), and the tattoo itself is fantastic, with strong lines and a fine attention to detail! Hes gone above and beyond to make sure I properly am able to take care of everything. Ive since actively recommended them to everyone who asks!

Had my appointment with Loran today! Her work is super detailed and she was very attentive and patient. I would definitely get another tattoo from here!

We had Jeff as our artist and he was absolutely amazing to work with. My mother and I had corresponding tattoos and he made sure they looked perfect. Would definitely recommend seeing him again

This was my second time coming here for inkwork. We drove up from Manchester, NH because it is worth it. Pete is an amazing tattoo artist and great guy. His eye for details and design work are exceptional. The overall feel of the shop and the other artists is great. I would completely recommend this place if you are looking to get ink done.

Kind, professional, talented folks who will gently walk you through your first tattoo!

Top-notch studio, diverse artists and styles, stands out among its many competitors

Quality work, great price!

Nick, Rubin, and Pete are all awesome guys who do amazing work and provide a comfortable and fun environment, highly recommend!

They were able to fit us both in, and did awesome work.

I just received my first tattoo, a couples tattoo with my fiancee, and Matt was quick, efficient, gentle, stylin, friendly, and did splendid work. I have had friends get work done with him and they also have had good work done. Im glad I was finally able to meet the illustrious man and have a positive experience myself. Will get more work done with him.

Killer shop great artist very quality work

I got my 3rd tattoo at this shop and have been BEYOND pleased, these guys are awesome, professional and do great artwork!

Got a butterfly tattoo yesterday from reuban. Excellent job very happy!!! Very nice guy as well

Walked in with a sketch to add a piece to an existing tattoo. Rueben had me in the chair an hour later and the work was quick, clean and solid. He really got everything matched up to what was already there. Definitely going to return.

Great people and artwork!

Thank for making my trip even more memorable

When it comes to body ink and body piercing, I cannot think of any place I could or even would trust than Hollowed Ground Bodyart Studio. I first started going to Hollowed Ground in 2010. I had my first facial piercings done by Joey Petruk and then I had returned for 2 inspiring ink sessions with Jasin Chapman. I apologize if I misspelled your names. Hollowed Ground has the highest standards both professionally as well as medically/hygienically. Earning several awards over the years, there is no one else I would trust! As an independent singer/songwriter and activist, the ink I received by Jasin at Hollowed Ground has become infamous in circles outside of New England. Though I have yet to return for more work in a long while, Matt always goes out of his way to say hello to me on the street in passing. Everyone at Hollowed Ground is uncommonly kind and respectful. Though piercings are a thing of the past at Hollowed Ground or so I understand, the graphic ink is beyond awe-inspiring....Sean M. More Band
