The Dalles sits at a dramatic bend in the Columbia River Gorge, where the high desert meets the Pacific Northwest — a landscape of basalt cliffs, sweeping skies, and working-class grit that shapes the people who live here. This is a community of outdoor laborers, river culture, and deep regional pride, and that spirit finds its way into the tattoo chair. Getting inked at Cry Baby Tattoo means becoming part of a local tradition that feels connected to the rugged, unhurried character of this remarkable stretch of Oregon.
