“I was never actually able to get the tattoo but Jeff drew it out so beautifully, it was literally breathtaking. He was also amazing about me having to reschedule. The shop is spotless, the artists are freaking amazing and literally make you feel so welcome and important to them. I recommend Hold Fast to everyone. Jeff is amazing hands down.I will be getting a tattoo and septum piercing there VERY soon and I will post pics.Thank you all you and your staff do, Jeff. It's amazing!Cori Simons“
“I had the best most positive experience here. I was so comfortable since the moment I walked in. I chose to have a tattoo done and the artist, Sonya was going to design it. I was unable to see the design beforehand. So that made me nervous. I completely understand why they wouldn't want to share their design as you could just steal it and go elsewhere. (shame!) However, when I arrived, she was there putting some final details on the design she made for me and it was perfect. I was able to send her a bunch of reference photos, and she took them and came up with the coolest design. I never would have been able to visualize it being this nice. She tweaked a few things on the spot and we were ready to go. Sonya, was so nice to work with. Made me feel comfortable, and the atmosphere was awesome. Everyone in there was super friendly. You could tell they all got along well and put me even more at ease. I highly recommend Sonya at Scarlet Rose. Her work is beautiful. I've been to other places that made me feel very uncomfortable once I was in there. You wont get that here. She was worth the drive and all the stress worrying about wondering if the design would be for me. I cannot recommend Sonya enough! I can't wait for it to heal so I can show it off to everyone!“
“Nik is amazing! He was previously my go to tattoo artist at a different shop before he got the opportunity to apprentice at Grim North. I patiently waited almost a year for him to be able to tattoo me again and it was well worth the wait! Not only is Nik incredibly kind, the atmosphere, organization, and overall quality of the shop is amazing. I 100% recommend this shop and especially Nik if you get the privilege to be tattooed by him!
*Photos are all done by Nik - the lighthouse is the first one he did for me since starting at Grim North!“
“Very good with piercings and very sweet. Wide rage or piercing selections, clean, amazing people.“
“Teagan is so amazing. Does great with all my ideas and her work is incredible. She has done 5 tattoos for me now and we already have a 6th in the works. I recommend all my friends to her.“
“This is an absolutely legendary shop that offers friendly, professional, and world class tattooing. Jason and everyone at the shop is amazing. I gladly drive the several hours to Hobo because it’s simply the best shop in New England. Portsmouth, NH is such a fun place to visit! Thanks again!“
“Schedule an appointment for a few days. Very friendly and awesome on communicating with me on my memorial tattoo I want done!“

“Today is me and my husband's anniversary we called this tattoo shop this morning and spoke with goose he is so nice and and his passion for his work was obvious even over the phone. He booked me and my husband for same day tattoos. He asked what we wanted and listened to exactly what we said he drew up a perfect design (even better then what we expected). He was so professional he made every effort to keep us comfortable. This was only my second tattoo and it took up most of my right thigh. He made sure I was ok, allowed me to take as many breaks as I wanted. He was so amazing I can't tell you how much we appreciate him we will definitely be coming back I can't imagine getting work done by anyone else. I am blown away by the tattoo he did for both of us he is so talented and just a real stand up guy...thank you goose“
“This establishment is an ABSOLUTE GEM!
Artwork is Incredible, unique, original and the shop space is beautiful. Jason is a fine tuned machine, and nothing short of a gentleman! Lee is so fast and has such creative ideas, not to mention he’s hilarious! Ash is an amazing artist who makes you feel comfortable right away. 10/10 would highly recommend!“
“Simply put, Jenna is an expert! She is meticulous in mapping out her work to get the desired result. She is knowledgeable and guides you through the process step by step. She uses high quality imported inks that are better for the face and more resistant to color fading/changes. When someone is working on your face it is extremely important to have confidence in their abilities and opinions, she put me at ease.“
