“Some of the best artists working here. Every artist I’ve gone to has made it a very welcoming and fun place to be.”
“I so love this place! The owners are so engaging and friendly. Professional artists that are experienced and dedicated to their craft. I had my eyebrows done by Kim. I could not be more pleased with the results. I highly recommend their expertise!”
“Doug did an awesome job, I would highly recommend going to this shop!”
“Really cool shop, and very nice down to earth people. I went in with a pretty vague idea and Jake drew me up something on the spot in like 30 minutes. It's a super sick tattoo, I love it, he's rad. Go here.”
“Number one. Wouldn't go anywhere else. I have many many from Jessica along with all 5 of my daughters they all have them from her love it all”
“I got a tattoo here from Sarah Hall. The shop is a really neat spot. They take care of their shop, and keep a really pretty garden out front. Very pleased with the space. Sarah was able to accommodate my request as a walk-in. Sarah was knowledgeable and professional, and also just a really pleasant person to be around. Sarah did a great job on my tattoo of the Tillikum Crossing. I hope to continue getting tattoos here. Highly recommended.”
“Doug turned my goofy idea into something really amazing. My wife was surprised, touched, and not mad at me.”
“I contacted this tattoo place off of a recommendation via phone and email. They worked with my schedule, answered all of my questions and this was probably the cleanest tattoo place I've ever seen.”
“Douglas was an absolutely amazing tattoo artist. He was so thoughtful and kind and made the whole experience incredibly comfortable. The space itself is so welcoming and warm, and I couldn’t be happier with how my tattoos came out. He was super flexible and accommodating to my financial needs and I left knowing this will be my regular tattoo spot. Thank you!!”
“10/10 from details of the tattoo to the accuracy and correction of the previous one. Doug did an amazing job! Was very personal and really shows his passion for creating and correcting. My story is very cliche, but I got a tattoo at 18 years old of a simple tribal that turned south. Doug turned my tattoo into a piece of art and gave my confidence back to show my tattoo. Will definitely recommend this shop and will keep going back. Staff was very personal and friendly. Shop is tucked into a cozy area with plenty of shops and conveniences. From decoration to staff. Was just amazed. Like I said 10/10.”
“Deciding exactly what you want your next tattoo to be is a big decision, and an equally big decision is who you trust your artist to be. My girlfriend wanted a new tattoo for her birthday, and after looking around at different artists and different shops, we felt like we could trust Douglas and Gold Sparrow to do it right. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. The entire staff was friendly and fun and really made the experience enjoyable. Douglas really took the time to talk about the design we had in mind and went above and beyond to make sure that it was exactly as we wanted it. I don't think you could possibly find a more down to earth dude that demonstrates at every level of the experience that he wants your piece to be the best that it can be. A true artisan and professional. We won't be going anywhere else.”
“I love this place! The environment is incredible and tattoo artists are so friendly. When you're getting your tattoo done there are so many fun flash tattoos to look at on the ceiling and I walked out considering like 20 different ones. I had been emailing Bre about certain designs and the one made exceeded my expectations!!! I highly recommend Bre and the tattoo shop in general. If you're thinking about getting your next piece here, DO IT!”
“Teddy did a fantastic job on my tattoo! He had drawn up exactly what I wanted. I love my tattoo and will definitely be back to get more work by Teddy.”
“Teddy did a great job with my tat. Exactly what I asked for. I'll definitely be back.”
“First time here and I absolutely loved everything. The aesthetic, people, vibes and the work they do is so great. Sarah was my tattoo artist & she did an amazing job on my tattoo. I’d highly recommend this spot to everyone!”
“Came in on whim to get a flash tattoo and was blown away by the incredible vibes. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Got my work done by Teddy and I will be a returning customer. Not only did he go out of his way to customize a flash piece for me but he also was a genuine and kind dude. The piece turned out great! Quality service and wonderful people!”
“Amazing service! Bree answered when I called and was very welcoming. Douglas , who did my work, was very nice and communicated so well. He made me and my friend feel very comfortable! Will come again!”
“I've been tattooed by @kimberteatro, @jakeacreetattoos, and @teddybtattoos and love all of them. Go here. Spend money.”
“Me and my wife came as a walk in. It was her first time getting inked and Doug made the process easy and painless (relatively)! We got a few flash designs. Reasonably priced and incredibly clean work! If I weren’t visiting from out of town then I’d be back for more!”
“Kimber Teatro is an AMAZING talent! Several members of my family had work done recently at Gold Sparrow and not only was Kimber a super talented pleasure to work with, the parlor itself was clean and comfortable. I cannot recommend her and Gold Sparrow enough!”
“A clean shop that still has that traditional look and feel. Everyone was wonderful and the flash on the ceiling gave a great opportunity to pick out my next tattoo while getting one 😂Thanks for the artwork!!”
“Douglas did an awesome job with my tat. The shop is super clean and really spacious. I’ll be coming back for more!”
“They did an awesome job! We called the day of and they were accommodating, welcoming, and thorough. Cool, friendly artists. I will likely be going there again!”
“I had Jake and my partner had Kimber. They were both so nice and our tattoos turned out better than even imagined. Would definitely recommend this shop and I will go again myself!”
“A clean and quality tattoo shop that provides quality work. This is truly an awesome shop with RAD artists. I felt welcome from the first time I walked in.”
“Kimber is a freaking amazing talented artist. I am absolutely in love with my new tattoo. I will definitely be going back to her to get the side of my head tattooed by her.”
“Fantastic customer service, amazing artists and excellent results...me, my sister and brother-in-law all decided to get family tattoos together...Jake, Doug, and Brie were all so amazing...very friendly, talented, experienced, and professional. Also, they are extremely clean and I felt perfectly safe with their mask requirements and sanitization guidelines during COVID...plus all of our tattoos are AMAZING!”
“Artists are welcoming. Kimber has been extremely cool with all the changes I've wanted to make with my sleeve. Also super honest about realistic expectations. Love the coordination and communication. Check out their website and find her insta. I like her coverup work and that's what we are working on this year.”
“You won’t go wrong with this tattoo shop. Amazing professionals. Amazing service. Amazing artists. Thank you so much, Bree, for accommodating me waking-in today! I feel like the most special birthday girl!”
“This shop is full of some really amazing people who do incredible work! 10/10 would recommend it!”
“Doug and Jake run a great business; warm and welcoming and genuinely care about your experience. I am happy to be a client here. Appreciate you guys!”
“I had a great experience at Gold Sparrow Tattoo. Doug has been my tattoo artist for many years and he is amazing! The whole vibe of the shop and the people that work there are friendly, welcoming and professional! Doug was thorough and patient in helping design my sleeve. He does great work and is a skilled artist! I highly recommend this place.”
“Nice clean shop, in a great location that's easy to get to, and great artists.”
“I have been wanting a realistic lion tattoo for a long time and have been looking around for a great artist with tons of talent. I was referred to Douglas at Gold Sparrow Tattoo. He is professional, extremely talented and the tattoo turned out amazing!!! I would 1000% recommend this shop!”
“My mom and I came in for tattoos. It was her first tattoo!! We're soo happy and they couldn't have been nicer and helpful!! Thank you, we'll be back!!”
“I can't tell everyone how HAPPY I am with this Tattoo shop! I had my brother refer me based on the Instagram page and individual artist style! I went in with an idea and Douglas went above and beyond! He really does put his heart into his work. He communicated with me through the entire process. Asked questions, gave ideas and did a thorough job of explaining the aftercare. I highly recommend this shop. Everyone in it is so friendly and polite. Scheduling was super simple! Highly recommended!
“Set up an appointment on my birthday with the amazing Sarah Hall. She was friendly, communicative, and receptive to all my feedback about the tattoo I wanted. She did an amazing job, and I couldn't be happier with the result. This is the easiest 5-Star I've ever given and would recommend this spot to anyone.”
“ Lucky for us, we found Sarah Hall at Golden Sparrow. She was just the woman for the job - my first ever tattoo! She was professional but also caring. Keeping me informed all the way. When she was finished we kind of celebrated together.”
“Was feeling a little spontaneous and called to see if they accepted walk-ins for a smaller tattoo and they did! So I sent them the designs I was thinking of via Instagram and when I got there they drew it up and let me choose a size and placement. Bree did a wonderful job! Clean simple lines, just what I was going for. Very professional and didn't take too long. After they let me check it out and put some second skin on top. Had a great experience and will be back!”
“I wish I'd discovered the Gold Sparrow Tattoo shop from the beginning. Ever since I found Kimber Teatro, my life has been more fulfilled and my tattoos have gotten life put into them. I come to her with a concept, and send her either a bunch of inspo pics, or send nothing just a wordy paragraph, and she makes the most beautiful art for me. I'm so pleased with every tattoo I've ever gotten from her. Because I have spent so many hours getting tattooed by Kimber Teatro, I have also seen the rest of the staff besides Kimber in action and they all produce extremely high quality work, and treat people of all ages, genders, shapes, and colors with great respect and professionalism. They are all excellent, talented artists and deserve your business too. I encourage anyone looking into this tattoo shop to stop your search and reach out to an artist to make your ideas come to life. Kimber Teatro has absolutely done that for me and I will be forever her client. Looking forward to my next tattoo from her which is already on the books.
“After exploring many different tattoo shop options in Portland I decided on Gold Sparrow Tattoo and I'm so glad I did. I was able to get in the next day with Davis and he was fantastic! It was the easiest tattoo I've gotten. If it lasted any longer I probably would have fallen asleep (and I am generally terrible dealing with pain). The shop overall was very clean and inviting. I would highly recommend getting your tattoo here!

“Came in from out of town visiting. My friends and I wanted a tattoo as a souvenir. Called and they were able to do 3 walk-ins in the same day! Douglas Lamb was our artist and was amazing all around. Super welcoming and friendly to all of us. Super clean shop and awesome atmosphere. Plus they have a BEAUTIFUL garden in the front of their shop!”
“The Best! Thank you to Teddy and Bree for getting my family of 4 in so quickly to get our family tattoo done before my son leaves for Japan with the Air Force. We love our tattoos and now my son is hooked! Great experience all around for us!”
“Got my first tattoo yesterday with Doug here. What an awesome experience! I felt so comfortable and welcome. The building and landscaping is neat and pretty and feels very welcoming. I scheduled an appointment the day before and Doug was very amenable. He drew a gorgeous flower based on my idea. The tattooing went so quick and Doug was great to chat to. He also answered all my questions and made sure I knew what to do. I really recommend this place especially for last minute or walk-in appointments. Excellent quality and a lovely experience!”
“Doug and Jake were great! Me and two of my friends did walk-ins with ideas in mind, and we all loved our tattoos. We called all over Portland to find a place that would take us, and we got in at Gold Sparrow within an hour. Our tattoos were small and we were done very quickly. They were professional and very friendly, and I'd definitely come back here!”
“Would highly recommend the Gold Sparrow Tattoo shop! This is a very clean, beautifully decorated shop. Douglas welcomed my friend and I as last minute walk-ins, and we had the best experience! He helped our ideas come to life and created the perfect versions of our initial sketches in a quick manner. He provided great advice in regards to design, placement, and sizing, as well. He walked us through the process and worked very efficiently. His work is incredible, and we were beyond happy with our pieces. Thank you so much Douglas :)”
“10/10 recommendation! Clean, professional, kind and amazing artists! You could truly get any kind of work done here. I've gotten cosmetic tattoos from Kim! And classic art from Doug! And I can't wait to see the other artists! But 4 tattoos in 3.5 weeks is enough for now! They have great hours as well and such a fun location! Can not recommend this place enough!”
“I have gotten my first and second tattoo done at this shop. Very friendly and rad crew they have there. Both my tattoos were a walk in and they killed it. Doug did a great job on my crown and Jake did a great job on my rose!”
“I've had Doug Lamb design and tattoo me for many years. I have a LOT of tattoos! I've followed him while he was working at other shops but love his current one! I've found Doug to be the most professional and attentive tattooer I've ever had; in addition to being talented and a producer of high quality tattoos, he is mindful of his client's comfort. I've always left the shop happy and thankful we met. There are a lot of shops to choose from out there, but if you're not just looking for a quality tattoo but want quality service to go with it, I HIGHLY recommend this shop.”
“So impressed with Douglas and his team. The response time and professionalism coupled with the talent will make me keep coming back every time I'm in Portland. Highly recommend this shop!”
