Darling Tattoo » About Me

Hello! I’m Xavier Darling

A passionate tattoo artist and the owner of Darling Tattoo, based in Portland, Oregon. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked at various renowned tattoo studios like Black Hole Tattoo, Skeleton Key Tattoo, and Raven Ink Custom Tattoo. In 2017, I decided to create Darling Tattoo, where I focus on giving clients a personalized experience through unique and custom-designed tattoos.

E very tattoo I create reflects my clients’ individuality, and I pride myself on working closely with each person to bring their vision to life. My goal is to craft meaningful tattoos that go beyond just aesthetics, leaving a lasting impression on both the skin and the soul.

Before dedicating myself entirely to tattooing, I spent three years as a yoga teacher, incorporating meditation and mindfulness into my daily life, which influences my creative process today. If you’re ready to get a tattoo that tells your story, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s create something special together.
