Yes. Tattoo Magazine can be sent to inmates at Oregon State Correctional Institution. You can order it through Amazon and ship it directly to the facility, or you can send it through InmateAid as we work with the same publisher.

A couple of things to keep in mind when ordering any magazine subscription for an inmate. The subscription must ship directly from the publisher or an approved retailer. Magazines sent from a personal address will be rejected at the mail room. Amazon ships directly and is recognized as an approved vendor at most facilities, so that route is straightforward.

Make sure the subscription is addressed with your son's full legal name, inmate ID number, and the complete facility mailing address exactly as the institution requires it. A missing or incorrect ID number is the most common reason magazine subscriptions run into delivery problems.

If you run into any issues or want to route it through InmateAid instead, reach out and we can take care of it for you.
