“Court is the best!! She was very kind and patient with me. I can’t draw for the life of me so I had to describe to her what I wanted. This is my favorite tattoo and I will definitely be back!! Thanks Court!!“
“I got my first tattoos here and couldn’t be happier! Sam is communicative, and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted from my jumble of ideas. Her shop is clean and everyone there is so welcoming and helped put me at ease. My tattoos were pretty painless, and they came out so beautiful! I am hooked, and can’t wait to get more!“
“First time getting a tattoo here and I couldn't have more positive things to say. I got 2 pieces done on my forearms by Scott, and they are exactly what I wanted. Had a little bit of a health scare mid tattoo and Scott couldn't be more accommodating. The vibe made me feel very relaxed, will definitely be coming back!“
“A wonderland of Horror Memoribilia and art, Grindhouse is the absolute best place to get any tattoo.“
“Made back to back appointments for myself and my daughter. I needed two locations re-pierced and one new location and she wanted two helix piercings. The normal piercer had gone home sick and so we were lucky to have Nicholas assist us.
Nicholas first sat down with us and went out our wants and desires. After inspecting my piercings, we decided not to repierce my daith because it has sustained damage after being hooked on a dog’s nail a while back and was unlikely to take. I opted instead for two new locations; a room and a “faux” rook.
Nicholas walked us through every step of the process, from sterilization procedures to the most thorough aftercare speech I’ve ever heard!
I’ve been tattooed or pierced about a dozen or more times in my life and no one has ever been so thorough. The hot water spray technique is KEY!! I usually fight with the healing of my piercings but thanks to Nicholas’ amazing tips, am healing normally
for the first time ever.
The stupid has a cool vibe too. Amazing jewelry and was just an all around positive experience.“
“I cannot recommend this place enough!
Avery did my dragonfly tattoo. She was kind, attentive, and incredibly detailed.
She crushed this tattoo. It was also reasonably priced. I had a great experience.“
“Empire Tattoo is by far THE BEST! I have gotten 4 of my 8 tattoos there and will no longer go to any other shop. All of the artists are incredibly talented and so welcoming!“
“Jade is the absolute best!! I felt so comfortable during the process and love the way my tattoo came out!“
“AMAZING artist and environment. Angel is flexible, understanding and a great tattoo artist. Highly recommended!
Requested style: Customized my ideas into something better than I imagined.
Cleanliness: Very clean environment, attention to detail.“
“Rich was the artist I saw, super talented and was excellent with helping me with placement of the tattoo. The tattoo was created exactly as I wanted and I would definitely go back to him for other work in the future!“
“I went in to get a tattoo by Alex and loved it so much I went back again two hours later and got another one by John. Great customer service, very clean, and fast and efficient beautiful work!Service: Tattoos“
“Adam Harmon is an incredibly talented artist. Very clean and efficient, he brought my vision to life. From the moment I saw his creations I knew I wanted to wear them forever. I highly recommend him and hope gallery tattoo!
Requested style: I requested a sleeve based on the magic the gathering card game, so it was a blend of art from the game with Adam's creativity. I guess you could call it new school but it was less cartoony and more illustrative.
Specialties: Adam's color work is incredible and he can manage large pieces while prioritizing overall aesthetic and cohesion. You can't go wrong with any project but know you can trust Adam and Hope Gallery with your larger designs and ambitions.
Cleanliness: He was meticulously clean, I never felt any concern as to safety or cleanliness. I always healed really well and was able to operate normally the entire process.
Stylist: Adam not only listened to my requests, he created incredible works of art from very basic reference material. He really brought my sleeve to life!“
“Never a less than stellar appointment with Greg! Deluxe workmanship and artistic flare. If you can dream it, Greg can bring it to life! Clean , safe environment with great music and conversation- even on site parking three feet from the door! 16 beautiful pieces of art since I sat down in this well appointed studio and I am not done yet! Make an appointment, get what you've wanted and denied yourself. Reasonable rates, easy to find and in the middle of the Pizza Capital of the east coast!“
“Booking and pricing was very easy. I suggest reaching out to the artist youd like, they make it very easy!“
“I’ve spent time in Tattoo Shops on USA East & West coasts as well as a dozen Tattoo Shops in the Orient.
Izzy Ogre & Mel are what’s up. Get over to see them in West Haven , this summers gonna be HOT ! Ogres done a few pieces for me like this.“
“I’ve been a customer here for a few years. I can’t recommend them enough. All the staff are not only awesome artists but also nice and approachable. Cleanest tattoo shop I’ve ever been in. The tattoos I’ve gotten there I don’t think anyone else could have done them as well. Much love for all the staff there ?“
“I’ve been going to Fred since 2019 when I was first referred to him by a friend. I came to him with a messed up tattoo hopping he could fix it. He was able to fix my tattoo for a good price considering what he was working with. It’s been five years now and Fred has completed a 1/2 sleeve on me and just completed my second coverup on my back. I’m so happy with the results of his work“
“Wilfredo is amazing. I wanted to get my daith pierced But I was very nervous. Will Was extremely professional and answered all my questions and put me at ease. Wilfredo Has an amazing personality and I really enjoyed my time with him. My daughter came with me and loved the shop with all the boards And although she’ll never get piercings or tattoos because of her fear of needles, she really enjoyed everyone at the shop And was inspired by the Decor because she is an artist and the film student! The bottom line is, I will go back to for every future piercing because everything is sterile Clean and professional and every manner Which is extremely important Thank you again Will for your time and patience with my extreme line of questioning Lol It was virtually a quick pinch and no pain at all afterwards He is straightforward and honest and did not try to sell me any crazy products afterwards I appreciate you and your colleagues for making this such a positive experience My daughter and I had a lot of fun and I look forward to our next time Thank you“
“Lovecraft Tattoo is hands down the best place to get a tattoo. All of the artists are incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and highly talented in what they do. I have gotten 3 tattoos from Christian so far, and every session has been such an amazingly positive experience. Christian is not only extremely talented, but does an incredible job creating a fun and comfortable atmosphere for you while he creates the masterpiece you're looking for. I cannot see myself going anywhere else ever for future tattoos. Its just that good.“
“This place is lit ? Awesome artist, great vibes and all my tattoos are ? and get compliments“
“Two of us went in as walk in customers. The employees were so very kind to us. The one who went first ended up feeling sick and almost passing out. Everyone was so wonderful. They kept checking on him . They fed him and gave him juices to drink. They kept him safe and comfortable. He was unable to finish his tattoo. The artist was so great with him. I had mine done and it came out perfectly. Due to the almost passing out, our time ran late, but everyone stayed a little over hours for us. Thank you for being so wonderful for us!Service: Color ink tattoos“
“My first tattoo at Lucky Soul! I've been traveling outside of CT for tattoos for years but decided to stay near home for a recent piece dedicated to a family loss. Going to a shop I trust locally was so wonderful. Tracey killed it with the design - I was feeling indecisive and she worked with me to create something I'm incredibly happy with. I still have a sleeve to finish up in New York eventually, but I'm pretty sure my next tattoo will be another from Lucky Soul! I felt so comfortable and cared for the whole time, and the tattoo came out amazing. Big love to the LST crew!“
