Behind the Needle.

Jake Llewellyn meticulously sketching custom tattoo design in a clean studio

Current Residency

East End Creative District, Portland, OR

I believe that a tattoo is more than just ink under the skin — it is a personal landmark, a way to reclaim your body, and a physical record of your story.

With over seven years of professional tattooing experience, I have dedicated my practice to mastering the nuances of fine-line precision, bold blackwork contrast, and expressive illustrative designs. My journey started in traditional printmaking, which deeply influences how I translate art onto a moving, living canvas.

Tattooing historically carried an intimidating, exclusive reputation. I built my practice to change that. My studio is a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for all bodies, skin tones, and walks of life. I work collaboratively with every client, ensuring that you feel completely safe, informed, and comfortable in the chair.

When I am not in the studio, you can find me drawing in the woods, studying historical woodcut prints, or spending time with my dog, Scout.

”
“A great tattoo is fifty percent technical application, and fifty percent how safe and comfortable you felt while you were getting it.”
