Pedro Dorsey


I started tattooing in Madison, Wisconsin in 1992. I worked there for eight years, then moved to Portland, Oregon and have been working here ever since. 

I pride myself in my ability to work in varied styles, preventing myself from stagnating artistically in a single type of tattoo. If I'm asked to point out areas I tend to be asked to do more often, they would be in the realistic and comic book areas. One of my strengths, though, is in my ability to do tattoos while recreating a client's favorite artists' painting or image, on occasion even creating a new image, done in that style. I'm also generally known as a patient, accommodating artist to work with. 

What I really enjoy about our shop is the fact that it's custom only, with no stock art for people to get distracted by. Our clients, therefore, tend to come in with their own unique ideas. I look forward to working with you, if you choose me for your next piece. 

I'd love to hear from you. Send me a proposal here:
