Full Time Crew

KAYLA GIBSON

 
 
 

Kayla has been tattooing since 2009, mostly in Arizona. She joined the team at Pink Panther in 2020 & really enjoys tattooing neo-traditional, pet portraits, and unconventional idea tattoos - the weirder the better!

When she’s not tattooing you can find her going to the coast with her pup, Stella.

Kayla is in the shop Thursday-Monday.

Chris Martin

 
 

Chris has been tattooing since 2007, and was born and raised right here in Portland, Oregon.

Chris enjoys making traditional tattoos in black and grey or in color. He’s stoked to do any size project, large or small. Chris is always striving to grow as a better tattooer.

In his off time he’s usually a homebody hanging out with his family, and he’s always painting and drawing.

Chris is in the shop Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday.

Ben Wilde

 
 

Ben is the owner/operator at Pink Panther Tattoo. He’s been tattooing since 2003 from Philly, to LA, and in PDX for the past 10 years or so. He loves walk-ins and is confident in tattooing all styles (except for portraits or photorealism), and loves tattooing traditional designs. We would include his email but his inbox has about 30,000 unread messages - so call the shop instead!

When Ben isn’t tattooing you can find him painting, welding, or spending time with his two doghters and very patient wife.

Ben is in the shop Sunday, Monday, Wednesday & Thursday.

Patrick Egan

 
 

Patrick was born and raised in Rhode Island but has been living on the west coast for almost a decade. He began tattooing in 2019 and specializes in traditional tattooing with a love for color.

When not tattooing Patrick enjoys spending time with his partner and their dog Mac.

Patrick is in the shop Wednesday-Su day.

Mark Willis

 
 

Mark has been tattooing since 2011, mostly in Florida. In 2021 he left Florida and traveled the country in an RV full time for a year and a half tattooing city to city until he found Portland. He joined Pink Panther shortly after arriving and has been enjoying living in a city he loves and working with friends.

While focusing on dynamic traditional and Japanese, Mark loves tattooing to give his full effort and respect to every tattoo and customer he approaches.

Mark is in the shop Friday, Saturday, Monday & Tuesday.
