Inside the Studio

A Clean Room You Want to Sit In

We are Redemption Tattoo, a custom studio on North Highway 97 in Bend. We have been open since 2019, and the room says a lot about how we work: an open floor under a timber-beam ceiling, our own hand-painted mural across the back wall, and stations kept clean and welcoming.

Primo and the crew cover a real range, from traditional Japanese and bold blackwork to fine lettering and color. We would rather take the time to get your idea right than rush you through, and folks tell us that shows in the work, some of them driving hours to sit in our chairs.

Walk in to talk through an idea, or set up a consultation. Either way you will get a straight answer about what will look good, hold up, and sit right on you.

What We Do

From a First Tattoo to a Full Back

Whatever you have in mind, it starts the same way: a conversation, a custom drawing, and an honest plan. Here is the range we cover.

Custom Design

Bring a reference or a rough idea. We draw a one-off piece built around you and your placement, never flash pulled off a wall.

Japanese & Irezumi

Dragons, koi, hannya masks and full back pieces in the traditional Japanese style, with bold line and layered color.

Black & Grey, Blackwork

Solid blackwork, fine line and smooth black-and-grey shading. Clean lines that hold up over the long run.

Lettering & Script

Names, dates and custom lettering laid out and sized to sit right on the body, not just stamped on.

Color & Illustrative

Saturated color and illustrative pieces, from a small first tattoo to a layered sleeve, finished with care.

Cover-Ups & Add-Ons

Reworking older tattoos or building onto what you already have. Bring it in and we will talk through the options.

What People Say

“I drive 4 hours to his shop, and he is well worth the drive. I recommend him to everyone.”

Wil Dailey, on Primo at Redemption Tattoo

They are a class outfit top to bottom. Their facility was very clean and welcoming. My artist Lee was extremely helpful in capturing my idea, and my tattoo honestly turned out better than I could have hoped for.

Todd Kjellesvik

Walking into their shop I felt straight at home, great atmosphere. The work they put out is phenomenal. Clean lines, excellent shading, all around great tattoo.

Anthony Amati

All the artists here are chill and fun to be around, and it is refreshing to find tattoo artists that actually want to get you in as soon as possible. I have seen their work and they are all fantastic.

Before You Come In

Common Questions

We are open seven days a week, 11 AM to 6 PM. We take both appointments and walk-ins when an artist is free, so for anything larger it is best to call ahead at (541) 797-7984 to check availability.

Bring your references or even just a rough idea. We will talk through the design, placement and sizing, and map out a plan before any needle touches skin. Call or email us to set one up.

A valid government-issued photo ID. You must be 18 or older to get tattooed. Come hydrated, eat beforehand, and wear something comfortable that gives the artist easy access to the area.

Often, yes. Cover-ups and reworks depend on the size, age and color of the existing piece, so the best first step is to bring it in for a quick look and we will tell you honestly what is possible.

Your artist will send you home with clear aftercare instructions for your specific piece. In general: keep it clean, follow the washing and moisturizing routine you are given, and keep it out of direct sun and soaking water while it heals.

We are at 3310 N Hwy 97 in Bend, on North Highway 97. Open every day, 11 AM to 6 PM. Call (541) 797-7984 or email us anytime.
