Amazing location in Bend, OR. Awesome and relaxing atmosphere. I’m very particular about who my tattoo artist is and Jeff Thompson is way above my standards. I just finished my first session with him and the work so far is amazingAll of the artists in the shop have a great background with amazing talent. 100% recommend going to this shop if you’re in Bend looking for a tattoo. These guys are true artists and can turn your ideas into the perfect visual representation without hesitation.

I got my tattoo from Jeff. He is an awesome guy with some serious talent. He was understanding and helpful when it came to scheduling. The design he came up with was beyond my expectations and left me wanting more tattoos done by him. The staff at Archive are also super friendly and provided great hospitality. I'm greatful i got the opportunity to meet these experienced artists. I wouldn't trust any other tattoo studio in town to get a permanent piece of art.

Jeff is an amazing artist and was such a delight to work with. Not only is he an experienced and incredibly talented artist who worked with me on getting just the right design, he is also personable, professional, and kind. Plus, the tattoo I received, which was my 14th tattoo, was the best quality of all my tattoos. And I’ve been to some pretty talented artists around the world. But Jeff’s work takes the cake.

In addition, the studio itself is clean and inviting, the other artists, Chase and Janelle, were equally wonderful, talented artists. I was able to see their handiwork as well as Jeff’s and was completely blown away. I have already recommended my friends, one of which has been in to see Janelle, and she absolutely loves the work that Janelle did for her.

If you’re looking for an amazing studio, great artists, and an unforgettable experience, go to Archive Art Collective!

I could not be happier with my decision to get my first tattoo (decent size chest piece) with Jeff at Art Archive Collective. He was extremely professional throughout the entire process. I had to reschedule multiple times and he was very kind and considerate each time. My fiance and I drove the 6 hours there and I would do it again in a heartbeat and I plan to. When I got to the studio for my appointment (fiance could not join as per covid-19 rules, totally understood) I thought the studio was awesome. Very clean and organized with amazing art on the walls. I had to take multiple breaks as it was my first tattoo and I was not exactly used to that type of pain haha. Jeff had no problems at all with that, he actually suggested we break as often as I want. The piece turned out AMAZING and I cannot wait to get color on this piece and start the next one with Jeff at Art Archive Collective.

My daughter and I went for a Destiination tattooing both of us getting one. We loved Bend, The sights the food and our tattoos!
He is a great artist, very professional and fun to chat with. We both would go back and get another one from him. I love my tattoo!

I drive 3 hours to get tattooed by these guys over anyone local shop in Eugene. Jeff Thompson always does an excellent job. Not only does he makes great art, but designs pieces that flow well with your body and location. If given the chance, take any suggestions or advise from these professionals and allow them to create something amazing for you. Chase Tafoya is amazing as well, always supporting his team. Always a positive attitude and a kind word. The Art is amazing here but only part of the experience. Their ability to make you feel welcome And comfortable is unmatched. If you can get a booking with any of them, you are doing yourself a favor. I will continue to make time to be tattooed at Archive Art!

Got the pleasure of having work done by Jeffrey Thompson here last month, & it is my new favorite tattoo. He was super professional, kind, easy to chat with! The vibe of the whole shop was relaxing & comforting. 4.5 hours was nothing with Jeff & now my calf has a killer piece of art I’ll be loving forever. The shop is SUPER clean too!

I had an appointment with Jeff that was spectacular. Not only was he an awesome person to talk to throughout the entire process, he was able to produce a pet portrait that I absolutely adore. I would highly recommend anyone if they want a rad animal tattoo to message Jeff about your ideas!

This guy Jeff gets an attitude with a potential client because he didn't understand his own schedule. Not really a good look when you get mad because someone reschedules more than a day before their appointment WITH $100 reservation paid. That's the whole point of the $100 so if they reschedule, you don't lose out.

Jeff was very accommodating in rescheduling my appointment multiple times, both due to pandemic closures and necessity on my end. Very good at responding quickly to any questions I had, which was refreshing compared to past communication with some artists I’ve had. The work he did is the best I’ve gotten so far and I’m looking forward to coming back for more when I get the chance.

I drove from Washington to see Jeff Thompson for my sleeve. Walking into the shop the first thing you notice is how clean it is. I spent around 4 days getting tattooed by Jeff and each time he was very professional and easy to talk to. It was also great seeing how well him and the other tattooers get along and help each other out. I’m excited to come back and get my sleeve finished! I will 100% be back.

Jeff was absolutely amazing while giving me a tattoo. I have only 2 other tattoos which are both very small and 1 color. He took a lot of time, effort and detail to put together my very favorite tattoo! HE is literally off the charts with talent, professionalism and cleanliness. I would 100% recommend him and this shop.

Recently got a piece done by Jeff here and love it! The shop was very clean and is a very welcoming environment to be in. Jeff does beautiful work with great attention to detail and is super friendly and receptive to changes. I’d highly recommend Jeff and Archive art collective to anyone looking to get a tattoo from amazing artists

I went to Jeff Thompson to get half of my sleeve finished, I’ve followed Jeff from Washington to Bend. He is always friendly! The work is AMAZING. Thanks as always, Jeff!

I was extremely happy with my tattoo, the appointment, and the amazing view from there shop. Chase Tafoya helped me get the perfect tattoo portrait of my grandfather. He was very knowledgeable on placement size, coloring and shading and was very patient and explained all this to me. The shop was very clean, and there art work on the was was amazing also, I've never been to such relaxed and friendly environment with all the tattoo artist in one place, a very supportive group that Chase has at his shop. If anyone is looking for great place to get a tattoo, this is definitely the place!

Been tattooed here 5 times and always looking to be back, Chase, Janelle and Jeff are great hosts. Currently being tattooed by Jeff and he makes for a authentic tattoo experience. Highly recommend!

Jeff Thompson has done many pieces for me over the years, I am constantly taken back by his attention to detail and artistry.
The private shop setting with an inviting atmosphere breaks all the stereotypes of a typical tattoo shop. This shop and the artist are both professional and friendly. I travel from Texas for appointments and I’d recommend them to anyone no matter the distance.

The shop itself is super clean and spacious and conveniently located above a bakery and some restaurants. The artists are all very friendly and super talented (check their Instagram accounts if you don’t believe me). Jeff Thompson has been working in my sleeve for a little over a year and I trust him with creative freedom after I had given a general idea of what I wanted. I believe you have to call to make an appointment or consultation. No walk ups allowed. Definitely worth the (small) effort to get in touch with them as they are really reliable.

Clean shop with amazing artists. Jeff was super kind, on time, made sure i was comfortable during the whole session, and most of all gave me a tattoo i’m proud to wear! Will be returning for sure!
