Pink Panther recognized for a second year in a row for it’s excellence in tattooing
For the second year running, Pink Panther Tattoo has earned a spot in the Willamette Week Best of Portland Readers’ Poll. In 2024, the shop wowed voters and took home second place. This year, they followed it up with another strong finish, placing third among 312 active tattoo shop licenses in Portland.
That kind of recognition is no small thing. Portland is known around the world for its tattoo scene, with an unusually high number of award-winning artists, a wide range of styles, and a vibrant culture. To stand out here takes more than talent. It requires artistry, a strong bond with clients, and a rock-solid reputation for quality and professionalism. Pink Panther Tattoo delivers all of that, year after year.
The Best of Portland Poll: A True Community Vote
Willamette Week’s Best of Portland Readers’ Poll is decided by the people who live here, not by a panel of critics. Thousands of Portlanders take the time to nominate and vote for the businesses they love most. Each vote reflects an actual customer experience, which makes this honor especially meaningful.
By earning second place in 2024 and third in 2025, Pink Panther Tattoo has shown they are not just a one-time favorite. This kind of consistency speaks to a loyal customer base and a steady flow of new clients who appreciate both the art and the experience.
More Than Just Ink
The team at Pink Panther Tattoo combines technical skill with a warm, welcoming approach. Whether a client wants a custom design, a meaningful memorial piece, or a bold traditional tattoo, the artists take the time to listen, understand the vision, and bring it to life with care and creativity.
The shop’s reputation is built on more than the tattoos themselves. It is about how clients feel when they walk through the door and when they leave with artwork they will carry for life.
Standing Out in a City of Over 300 Tattoo Shops
With 312 licensed tattoo shops in Portland, the competition is intense. The fact that Pink Panther Tattoo continues to place in the top three says a lot about their artistry, attention to clients, and connection to the community.
In a city where tattoos are practically part of the language, earning and keeping a top spot in the Best of Portland poll is an achievement worth celebrating.
