About Brass & Briar Studios

Welcome to Brass & Briar Studios, a creative sanctuary nestled in the vibrant heart of Portland, Maine. Founded in 2017 by Rebeka Chase, and Ethan Bennett, the studio reflects a passion for art and a commitment to providing an exceptional tattooing experience.

At Brass & Briar Studios, we take pride in our diverse range of artistic styles, encompassing illustrative, neo-traditional, traditional, fine line, realistic tattooing, and intricate cover-ups. Our exceptional team of tattoo artists hails from various backgrounds, each contributing their distinct talents and creative flair to the studio. In addition to our tattoo services, we also offer professional piercing services to cater to your body modification needs.

Most of our artists operate on an appointment-only basis to ensure a personalized experience for each client. However, we also accommodate walk-in tattoos, offered by some of our artists, for those seeking a spontaneous inking session. Visit Brass & Briar Studios for a unique and memorable tattoo or piercing experience tailored to your individual preferences.

We believe every tattoo and piercing is a personal and meaningful journey that deserves the utmost care and attention. Our artists work closely with clients to ensure their ideas are brought to life with precision, skill, and a touch of artistic flair. We strive to create an open, inviting atmosphere where clients feel at ease and confident in our abilities.

Our Studio

Our studio is designed to be a welcoming and comfortable space for clients and artists alike. The clean environment adheres to the highest hygiene and safety standards, allowing you to relax and enjoy the creative process. Our walls are adorned with artwork from our talented team, showcasing their diverse styles and inspiring your own artistic journey.

Commitment to Quality

Brass & Briar Studios is committed to using only the finest quality equipment, inks, and materials, including exclusively vegan products, to ensure outstanding results for every tattoo and piercing. Our artists regularly participate in industry conventions, staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.

Community Involvement

We are proud to participate in Portland's thriving creative community and actively participate in local events, including First Friday Walk-ins and collaborations with other artists. Our commitment to community involvement and support for fellow artists is at the core of our ethos.
