STUPID TATTOOS FOR THE DUMB & SMART ALIKE ☺

Nice to meet y’all!

I’M DAMN ZIPPY

But you can call me Olive, Olivia, or Zippy.

I am a Portland, Oregon based tattooer with a penchant for color and bold lines. I love making silly, kooky, and fun tattoos - and I have a big love for kids’ cartoons, pop culture, and any and all animals.

My goal is to make your tattoo experience be as comfortable as possible, which includes: being in a private studio, an emphasis on high clean & safety standards, and a friendly and welcoming environment.

SEE MY STUFF

While I have been based in Portland, Oregon, for the last 6+ years - I have also had the privilege to work in several other US cities - some of my favorites so far have been Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago. I have met some amazing people, with the greatest ideas. Take a gander at some of my previous tattoos and hopefully we can create some tatty magic together!

KIND WORDS

  • "Olive is a total dream, gentle with the gun and wild with art."

    “I appreciate their cool professionalism, I always feel safe and heard in their chair. I've had nothing but great experiences being tattooed by them and will continue to frequent their studio as long as I have skin!”

    Jordie

  • "For all your tramp stamp needs - you know who to call"

    "Zippy is the color artist you've been waiting for. She did my first color tattoo way back when and skip to now, one side of my body is just a silly coloring book and ya know what, that just makes life that much brighter.

    On a technical level, Zips kills in the chair - she is about your comfort, quick but not heavy, and always curates a goofy and safe atmosphere. She has an iconic style that people in the wild will recognize, but is always here to try new cool things to make your piece one of a kind. “

    Jon Boy

  • "After getting a Damn Zippy tattoo, I was promoted at work and now every dog I pass on the street gives me happy little tail wags"

    “Olive really embodies what the tattoo experience should be: collaborative, fun, exciting, safe and fulfilling. She is so talented and knowledgeable, a true artist! Damn Zippy is like hanging out with your coolest friend, who stabs you repeatedly for a few hours but you still really like them. She turns my ideas into fun, quirky tattoos that heal well and give me confidence in my own skin. I always feel excited and welcome in their shop :)”
