Welcome to Shamanic Ink

Shamanic Ink offers a considered approach to tattooing.

Each piece is created through a thoughtful, collaborative process—designed to reflect personal meaning, life transitions, and lasting intention.

Our work extends beyond the image itself. Through focused conversation and intentional design, we create tattoos that feel aligned, purposeful, and deeply personal—art that holds value over time.

Clients are welcomed into a calm, private space where the process is unrushed and the experience is as important as the final result. Every detail is approached with care, clarity, and respect for the individual.

Thank you for choosing Shamanic Ink. We look forward to creating something meaningful with you.

Meet Gabe: Your Tattoo Artist

Based in Portland for over a decade, I bring more than 15 years of professional tattooing experience to Shamanic Ink. My background in fine art—rooted in oil painting, classical drawing, and observational study—shapes a deliberate, detail-driven approach to tattooing.

I specialize in personal, meaning-driven work created through a calm, collaborative process. Each tattoo is approached with care and clarity, translating individual stories, milestones, and values into lasting, well-considered designs.

Shamanic Ink is a private, supportive space where the experience is unrushed and the work is given the time it deserves. I work with clients who value intention, craftsmanship, and art that holds relevance over time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach us at shamanicink@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Shamanic Ink is not a walk-in tattoo shop — it’s a focused, one-on-one tattoo experience. Every piece is created with intention, clarity, and respect for the personal meaning it holds. The process is slower, more deliberate, and centered around collaboration rather than volume.

    At Shamanic Ink, every tattoo is crafted to honor your story and spirit. Pricing depends on the size, complexity, placement, and energy of the piece you’re envisioning. We don’t give flat prices over chat — instead, we connect with you in a consultation to understand your vision and then tailor a quote that feels right for both of us.

    No. Shamanic Ink operates by appointment only. This allows each client to receive full presence, preparation, and care — without distraction or pressure.

    Your journey begins with a consultation. You can reach out through our contact form, email, or text. From there, we’ll set up a time to discuss your tattoo idea, intentions, and any spiritual meaning you want embedded in the design.

    Yes — a consultation is a key part of your Shamanic Ink experience. It ensures that your ideas, intentions, and creative direction are fully understood before we begin designing the tattoo that will represent you.

    Your tattoo is a portal — more than skin deep. The consultation helps us connect with you, understand your narrative, and ensure we create something that resonates on a soul level. It’s a collaborative, intentional process.

    Creative evolution is natural. If your design evolves, just communicate with us ahead of your session — enough lead time allows us to support you in re-imagining your piece and ensuring it still aligns with your story.

    To secure your appointment and design time, Shamanic Ink requires a non-refundable deposit once a date and concept are confirmed. Deposits are applied toward the final cost of your tattoo and honor the preparation and planning involved in custom work.

    Deposit amounts are based on the scope of the project:

    • Shop minimum tattoos: $100 deposit
    • Medium-sized tattoos: $250 deposit
    • Larger tattoos or multi-session work: $500 deposit

    If you need to reschedule, at least 72 hours’ notice is required. This allows us the opportunity to offer that time to another client. Reschedule requests made with proper notice will have the deposit transferred to a future appointment. Requests made with less than 72 hours’ notice may result in forfeiture of the deposit.

    This policy helps maintain respect for everyone’s time while keeping the process clear and intentional.

    (Industry standard: tattoo deposits are generally non-refundable and applied to the final tattoo cost.)


    Rescheduling is possible with adequate notice.

    Designs are typically revealed the day of your session. This keeps the process collaborative, present, and fluid — allowing refinements to happen together rather than through endless revisions.

    That depends on your design. Smaller pieces might be completed in a single session, while larger, more intricate, or spiritually symbolic pieces can unfold over multiple sessions. During your consultation, we’ll discuss a time frame that honors both your vision and comfort.

    Yes. Shamanic Ink offers select private sessions outside the studio for clients who require discretion, specific environments, or destination-based work. These sessions are approached with the same level of intention, preparation, and care as all Shamanic Ink work.

    Because mobile and destination sessions require additional planning, travel, and setup, availability is limited and requires a higher minimum commitment.

    Private in-home and destination tattoo sessions begin at $1,800, with an additional $300 travel and setup fee. To secure your booking, 50% of the total is required upfront, with the remaining balance due upon arrival.

    All details are discussed during consultation to ensure the setting and scope are appropriate for the work.

    To support your body and spirit:

    • Eat a nourishing meal beforehand
    • Stay hydrated
    • Rest well the night before
    • Avoid alcohol or anything that could dehydrate or impair you
    • Bring positive intention and a clear mind

    This helps ensure your experience is as smooth, centered, and sacred as possible.

    After your session, you’ll receive personalized aftercare guidance to support healing. This typically includes:

    • Gently cleaning the tattoo
    • Applying recommended healing ointment
    • Keeping the area clean and protected

    Following aftercare instructions helps the tattoo heal beautifully and maintains its clarity and longevity.

    Tattooing is both a physical sensation and an emotional journey. Some areas are more sensitive than others, and everyone feels differently. At Shamanic Ink, we honor your comfort — including offering breaks, grounding practices, or pain management options as needed.

    You’re welcome to bring a calm, supportive companion if that aligns with your comfort. We ask that only those who positively support your energy be present so the experience remains centered and peaceful.

    We accept several flexible options — typically including cash, card, and digital payment apps. We also provide transparent details during consultation so your investment feels clear and grounded.

    Shamanic Ink is intention-based, not dogma-based. The work honors personal meaning, symbolism, and transformation — without forcing any belief system onto the process.

    Probably not — and that’s okay.

    Shamanic Ink is for people who value depth, patience, and meaning over speed or trends.

    At Shamanic Ink, every detail of your experience is designed to be as intentional and transformative as the art we create together. This space isn’t just about tattoos—it’s about connections, spirituality, and stepping into a creative energy that’s rarely found in the world. Together, we are crafting something truly unique, a sacred experience that exists only in small, cherished spaces like this one.

    To ensure your visit is seamless and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the serenity and energy of the studio, we’ve created a few simple directions. These guidelines aren’t just about finding your way—they’re about preparing your heart and spirit to step into a space where magic happens.
