Cobra Custom Tattoo - props to Cousin Stevie for bringing this tribute to my father to life - Tattoo Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

After posting this review, Cobra left me a message that said only that I could contact Matt personally if I wanted something to be done about my tattoo and there was nothing they would do to help. The last thing I would want is for the same person who messed up my skin so badly to have another chance to make it even worse! After seeing several other reviews about horrible tattoo work done at Cobra Customs by Matt, and how Cobra Customs has given each of these other customers the run around about making it right, ultimately doing absolutely nothing about it and leaving each of us with awful tattoos that are nothing like we asked for, it's clear that Cobra Customs does not stand behind the work of the artists they hire or the work that is done on their premises. If you choose Cobra Customs, vet your individual artist thoroughly before starting. It should have been my first red flag that when I went in for a consultation I was given no option of which artist to work with, was simply told Matt would be the one who would do the work. Based on previous work I had done there in the early 2000's by great artists, I wrongly assumed all artists at Cobra would do quality work. read more

My mom just died and I wanted to get a tattoo in her memory. Steve made me feel like an idiot because I didn't know exactly what I wanted the tat to look like, even though I'd sent a pretty detailed description 3 weeks ago. I thought the appointment was to work thru the details, but he made jokes about it. I feel worse now. Thanks - yes, blame the customer for thinking you would help come up with a custom design they liked. read more

Top notch studio with top notch artists. Few more sessions to finish up my back and it looks phenomenal. I expect nothing less from the Cobra himself. read more

I got my first "real" tattoo (aka not the dinky little symbol one on my ankle) at Cobra Custom from Mazie. I am really happy with the entire experience! I was really nervous about going in because I'd heard horror stories from people about rude artists or unclean spaces. (I am also just generally nervous about the idea of tattoos and committing and yada yada.) However, this couldn't have been farther from my experience! The entire shop was very clean and cozy. Mazie was very receptive to the several changes I asked for in my design and was very fairly priced. I felt really comfortable with her. I am absolutely not an expert on tattoos, but I have had several people compliment how clean her lines are and how well it's done, so props to her for that! I wanted to get the tattoo on my Dad's first birthday since his passing, but I failed to plan ahead and make an appointment. Luckily for me, they were great about accepting me as a walk-in. Overall, highly recommend. It's worth coming to Cobra to get a solid experience and great art. read more

Went in to get a tattoo of Morticia Addams hands cutting the top of a rose, and a small quote "be here now" in a different spot. Matt was my artist. I sent in the photo of what I wanted the Morticia tattoo to look like and got something horrendous. No effort into the drawing, inconsistent lines, basically my 5 year old could have drawn this out better. It honestly makes me sick that I paid for something like this. I went to get a "touch up" with Matt a few weeks later and again, the lines are even more messed up and not to mention I got an infection even though I did exactly what I've done with all of my past tattoos. Even my friends took one look and made sure they knew the name of the shop so they could steer clear. If you want to spend a ton of money for a rushed tattoo, go for it, but I was highly disappointed and don't doubt you will be too. Pictures of what I asked for (girl in green shirt) and what I got. read more

I truly do not like this place at all. I went for my 10th tattoo a few months back & it came out okay, but i wasnt super happy. I decided to go back & try again bc i wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt... bad idea. My tattoo is incredibly painful & way too deep. its saturn & it was meant for something really special but i guess it was a waste since it looks like shit. Im going to try and post a photo but it may not work. read more

This tattoo was done by Eric. He was very professional. He was busy but made time and squeezed me in to do my tattoo. I was nervous but he made me feel so much better about the whole process. I love his calming nature. He was talking to me during the whole tattoo process. It came out so much better than I thought it would. I found my new tattoo shop. I will be going again to get a tattoo done by Eric. read more

After hearing great things about this shop, I decided to book an appointment with Eric for my first tattoo. Cobra Custom was every bit as awesome as everyone said, and more. I came in with a pretty vague concepts and Eric did an incredible job bringing my idea to life, and was super kind and accommodating --- especially to a tattoo newbie!! I was a little nervous going in, and he did a great job putting me at ease. The second I saw his sketch I stopped feeling nervous --- it was absolutely stunning. He made really helpful suggestions on sizing and placement to make sure I left with the best possible version of my tattoo....and based on the reactions I've received so far, I definitely did!! read more

I asked for a small dainty sunflower on my ankle. It was not even two inches tall and paid 140$ for something that came out nothing like the reference photo, which I get people do their own thing with their art, but this just does not look good. Chunky lines, lack of shading, not what we talked about at all. I know multiple people who this situation happened with. Don't go here. read more

On vacation and went in with 2 friends and had pictures and idea if price and placement. I was treated so rudely by the younger guy behind counter. Because of his attitude all 3 of us decided to go else where. Hope they are happy loosing over 1,000 dollars in business. What a bad person to have at your counter. Totally bummed my out and ruined what should have been a fun experience between friends. I AM SO OVER IT AND ALL SET!!! read more

Came here for the 1st time for a multi-session tattoo. Through this whole process and scheduling, and eveyone has been really professional.

I cant wait to come back and finish it up! Thank you Nick and thank you guys @ Cobra Custom Tattoo! :) :) read more

Cobra Custom Tattoo - First tattoo, didnt feel a thing. Midas is great! - Tattoo Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Was told many time to go to cobra!! Made a mistake went elsewhere and well my own fault for a botched tat.. I was upset and annoyed and finally caved went into cobra. And Matt fixed my tat is 15 minutes flat !! It healed normally and Best experience ever Only place I'll schedule a tat again at !! Thanks cobra!!!! read more

Needed a unique tattoo to honor someone and was told by many people that Cobra was the place- they were absolutely correct! Worked with Steve to design a one of a kind tattoo and he created a few options. While working, Steve checked in with me to confirm color choices and details. I was expecting a painful experience, but this was fine and healing beautifully with barely any discomfort. I truly can't recommend this parlor or this artist more highly. read more

Got my first tattoo there by Jase and my 2nd from Ryan. They are great. The place is clean and friendly. They also have a nice article about the shop in Inked Magazine. read more

They are amazing. The line work on my tattoo is beautiful. It is in honor of my sister who passed. I could not be happier

Alright so everything was nice and clean and professional. However, no one ever asked for my ID nor was I asked to fill out paperwork. I made an appointment in the shop and came back about a week later for the actual appointment. I don't know if the guy who made my appointment should have asked, or if I should have been asked when I showed up to the appointment but either way it makes me wonder what else they're nonchalant about. The guy that did my tattoo, Matt, was fine during everything. Later however I saw he had posted an image of my tattoo on his Instagram and made fun of it, calling it "emo". Real mature of you man. And because of that, I won't be returning to cobra custom. read more

I had three appointments booked, two were cancelled due to Covid. As soon as the Governor's order was lifted I called to schedule and was told "we are not scheduling at the moment but we will call you back as soon as we are". I waited two weeks without a call then called back and got "Oh we have already booked out months, we can offer you October at the earliest". October didn't work due to my employment but was told I can be put on a standby list. Months went by with nothing. Called today, earliest I can get in is after the new year (which also doesn't work for me). They are refusing to refund my initial deposit when they are the ones that threw me to the side like a dirty towel....... I get it, they are busy but they messed up in not keeping good scheduling records. They should be doing the right thing, I was never called back even though I was one of the very first to call and was reassured I would be contacted as soon as they start scheduling. Crap way to run a business. At least refund the deposit so I can go elsewhere. read more

Perfect experience start to finish. Guy that makes the appointments (sorry I don't know your name) is knowledgable, helpful, and good looking :) Matt did my tattoo. I told him my ideas and he drew it in about 10 minutes. I asked for a few small changes and he came back with the final sketch quickly and we got down to it. I got a large tattoo and Matt went through it fast! But with total precision. Lines and shading first appt, just went back for the color and I LOVE IT. Let my deposit ride because I will be back for more. read more

Cobra Custom Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

I never write reviews on places but this needs to be shared. I went here and saw Matt for a tattoo on my back, showed him an image that I had found that gave an idea of what I wanted. I told him what I wanted to change and what I wanted in the tattoo. The entire tattoo took about 45 minutes, it's not a small piece and that was my first red flag. I then waited for it to heal and realized that it was nothing like I had asked for and the work was awful. I messaged him on instagram, where I had originally booked the appointment on and asked him if there was anything I could do about the tattoo and how it turned out. He was very rude in his response and didn't like that I said that the tattoo was a mess. I even tried to say maybe it was just that the ink didn't take well to my skin, he never responded after that. I finally called the shop and spoke with the manager who told me that they would get this figured out and she would talk with the owner about the situation. I was asked to come into the shop by her so that another artist (Jay) could look at the tattoo and see what he could do to make it decent. He told me that he could most definitely do some work to it and make it look better. I was excited to finally have it fixed and booked with him for his next available appointment which was 6 months out. I had to reschedule due to work and scheduled another day and drove the hour to get there and he came out and told me that someone was suppose to call me and cancel the appointment but never did because he couldn't do anything to the tattoo. I was rightfully upset and asked him why this wasn't said to me when I first came in for the consultation and he said he tried to make a sketch and couldn't do anything and his best advice was to get laser treatment done for it. I then asked him how it's not fair how I was given the run around and drove back and forth then still have this awful tattoo that is stuck on me for good, he then got noticeably upset and his response was "how is that my fault". I asked to speak to the manager and she told me the owner would call me when he was in next which was Friday. Friday came, no call. Saturday came, no call. I called again and they said he would call me later. He ended up calling me after 8pm and asked what he can do for me. I explained the situation and he told me that he didn't believe what I was saying because his staff would never do or say what they did. He then put me on speaker with multiple people in the room and let the artist that was suppose to fix it, Jay raise his voice and argue with me. Jay told him a completely different story than what actually happened and completely disregarded what I had told him. Mind you I had someone with me that witnessed the entire conversation that took place when we were in. Nothing was resolved and nothing was done in result of this entire ordeal. I still have an AWFUL tattoo and have to now pay for it to be covered up or do laser treatments to it. $450, hours of driving back and forth, arguing with incompetent staff and an owner who doesn't know how to communicate professionally at all and I am still the one who gets screwed. Please do not go here and if you do, do not see Matt or Jay. read more

Both my wife and I went. We couldn't be happier with the results. Forrest did mine and Ryan did hers. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional (this was the first tattoos for both of us). The shop was absolutely spotless. Clean from top to bottom. I was very impressed that their website touts the fact that the artists there are all Red Cross certified annually in dealing with blood-borne pathogens (as well as CPR and first aid). It was easy to see after being there that they take safety and cleanliness very seriously. Oh, and then there's the results. Everything came out great. Ryan and Forrest made some suggestions and answered our questions without making us feel like stupid newbies even though our tattoos were very modest by the standards of some of the incredible work I saw there. If you're looking for a tattoo studio, I recommend Cobra Custom very highly. read more

Started getting tats there about 5 years ago... like my tats more everyday... will get back for more work in the near future. The work is very professional and thoughtful.I like the feeling of their shop, the feel of the space. After seeing and experiencing their great work I cringe when I see some of the bad tats out there. read more

Just went to Cobra today to get my first tattoo and I had a really great experience. I had been there before to see my girlfriend and her sister get their tattoos, but this was my first time on the receiving side. Matt did my tattoo, and he was wonderful- he made me feel really comfortable and was VERY nice. He also did a beautiful job on my piece which helps! This place is also extremely clean, and is in a great location in downtown Plymouth. I would recommend Cobra to anyone looking into getting a tattoo. read more

I got my tattoo from Jase who did an excellent job. He was funny and nice. He also complimented how badass it was for a girl to be getting an anchor tattoo. Its really cramped inside cobra customs, especially going up the stairs and although I made my appointment around 2 months in advance, I had to wait 3 hours for my artist to be finished with his prior appointment. Overall, it's a cute little tattoo shop which has some really nice characters working there. read more

Clean, friendly, and professional. What more can you ask for. Getting an appointment takes a while, but worth the wait. They don't seem to have much competition and the place is always busy. read more

I agree with Stephen D. about this shop and have visited a few times with friends getting tattooed all the guys that tattoo here are great at what they do and you will not be disappointed with their work. read more

I got my second tattoo here and my artist was Matt. It came out absolutely gorgeous, exactly what I wanted, it included beautiful shading with which looks perfect and took less than ten minutes. It could use a little touch up if I get around to it, but overall I love it. It was quite painful but that is to be expected for some people. Very sanitary and everyone is very nice. The only things I don't like were the fact that the tattooing rooms are not private, so someone else could be getting tattooed right next to you. It is also not accessible, as it is upstairs with no elevator. My artist also spoke to me very little throughout the process, no "This is what I'm doing now", etc, and he didn't explain the aftercare instructions to me but did give me a sheet with instructions. But overall I would highly recommend Cobra and will likely be back. read more

Woke up on a Friday and decided to change my life. Drove down to Cobra because every time I had admired a local tattoo it had come from here. Staff was really nice, made this first timer feel very comfortable. (They very nicely asked the woman next to me to stop screaming like she was in labor. Thank you!) Ryan did my tattoo from my supplied artwork. He was great. We had a nice conversation while he worked. He was attentive, discussed options with me, made suggestions and I ended up with a beautiful first tattoo. Thank you Ryan, thank you Cobra. This is definitely the place to go. read more
