Cypress Tattoo Studio

Closed Opens Saturday at 10:00 AM

Cypress Tattoo is an appointment-only tattoo studio in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon, specializing in realistic black and grey sculpture work, black and grey realism, Neo-Traditional tattoos, photo realistic full color pieces, and custom large-scale work. The studio is run by a single artist who has been professionally tattooing since 2002, having trained as one of the last students of Donald Deaton, founder of Portland's first tattoo shop, Sea Tramp Tattoo, in the 1970s.

The artistic focus draws heavily on classical era sculpture, Norse mythology, Greek and Roman mythos, Catholic religious imagery, Hindu and Buddhist themes, and old world fantasy, with influences from Michelangelo and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. While many styles have been mastered over the years, Norse, Greek, and Roman mythology rendered in realism or sculptural style remain the favorites, from large mythological back pieces to viking-themed sleeves. Clients working with Cypress Tattoo can expect a deeply personal, one-on-one creative process centered on custom, large-scale storytelling tattoos brought to life in Hillsboro.
