Solomon Plew Tattoo

  • My name is Solomon, I am tattoo artist based out of Portland Oregon. Growing up in Portland I have always been inspired by nature and love to incorporate that into my art.

  • If you have any questions or concerns about the healing of your tattoo, please reach out to me via email or call the shop at 503-231-4777.

    Traditional bandages, “meat pads”, can be left on for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Best practice is to leave the bandage on overnight if possible and remove it in the morning.

    Saniderm/tegaderm bandages, “second skin”, can be left on for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 3 days. Remove this bandage under warm running water, starting from the bottom edge, pull out and downward at a 45° angle away from your body. If this bandage begins leaking or peels up to expose your tattoo, remove immediately.

    Once you have removed your bandage, wash your tattoo with mild soap and warm/hot running water. Do not use any harsh soaps with fragrances or washcloths. Dry with a clean paper towel.

    Do not rebandage your tattoo. Wear clean, loose clothing around the area–nothing tight or restrictive.

    Wash your tattoo morning and night and leave it alone until it starts to feel tight or dry.

    At this point you can start adding a light, unscented lotion to a clean, dry tattoo. Use sparingly and as needed.

    Your tattoo could take 2-3 weeks to heal.

    During that time do not soak (swim, baths, hot tubs, sauna), scratch or pick at your tattoo.

    Do not have your tattoo exposed to the elements for long periods (sun, rain, cold, heat.)

    Once your skin has returned to its normal state, protect your tattoo with sunscreen to keep it looking great for years to come!

    I love to see your healed work. Sending healed photos or coming by the shop to show them is greatly appreciated.

More than 2 reschedules, your deposit is forfeit and I will need a new deposit to reschedule a 3rd time.

    Touch ups:

    I offer one free touch up on tattoos I have done with in 12 months of the tattoo date. I DO NOT offer free touch ups on finger/hand tattoos. If you do not give me at least 48 hours notice to reschedule your free touch up, you forfeit your free touch up.

    Sickness/Illness:

    If you are feeling sick at all, felt sick within the last 48 hours, or have been in contact with someone who was recently sick, please let me know. We can reschedule. If you come in sick, you will be asked to leave and lose your deposit. Thank you for understanding and keeping everyone safe.

    Thank you very much and I look forward to working with you on your new tattoo!
