Hi, I was tattooed…read moreby Mari. She's incredible. I was in the industry for 11 years. Was married to someone who owned a very prestigious shop in Westchester County, NY. I have been in CT for 4 years. I refused to get tattooed by anyone out here bc I couldn't find anyone good as in NY. But Mari is damn good. What I personally look for in a tattoo is clean lines. That seems like a given but a lot of people either can't do it, or it blows out (expands in your skin). Also I said I would never ever ever in my life get lettering. I am basically covered in what looks like a garden. No lettering. Just no. But, never say never. Not only did I get lettering, but I got it here in Connecticut. And I wish I could have handed her a $100 bill as a tip. Aside from the tattoo and it's quality, Mari made me feel comfortable. She even gave me some candy to double up on the slim chance I would pass out bc it had to go over a bone for a brief minute. Thank you Mari, I really hope I am spelling your name correctly. She goes by @therealsashasmilesz on IG I may or may not choose to post a photo of it bc it is a personal tattoo but just look at her work on IG. She can 100% no doubt, tattoo her butt off. The rest of the people who worked at the shop were also very kind, calm and friendly. Thank you so much "Sara" (from the Bronx)

As a two time breast cancer survivor, I've been talking about getting this tattoo for years. If…read moreyou're not a regular "ink" gal ( my only other one had been done 25 years ago), you really don't know where to go or how it works. After lunching with a girlfriend in Old Saybrook, we were driving down Main Street when she said "hey, that's where my husband and daughter got their matching tattoos. Do you want to check it out? In we went and I told the gentleman at the counter what I wanted. He said I could walk in anytime for that. Out from the back came Jim who said he could do it right now. I told him what I wanted, and 5 minutes later he came back with a couple of sketches. I tweaked the font and toyed with the pink ribbon, and boom...15 minutes later I had my tattoo-exactly how I wanted it, where I wanted it, and without breaking the bank! Jim even said I could come back if down the road I wanted to outline the ribbon; that's customer service. I just sent a friend there and she was thrilled as well My daughter keeps talking about the whole family getting matching ones..I know where we'll go. Quick, friendly, clean work, and they even help you write your own story

I first started going to Noel close to a year ago. He's now done 4 pieces for me. My first…read moreencounter with Noel, he made me feel very comfortable and demonstrated his attention to detail and desire to accommodate my desires. I first met Noel when my friend and I went in together for matching tattoos, and he was extremely welcoming. Noel takes time and pride in every piece of his work, no matter how big or small. The shop is also very clean and a comfortable, small environment. I've found Noel to be one of the most, if not the only, artist to make me feel comfortable in such setting, which I have also expressed to him on several occasions. Not only is Noel a friendly guy, but his work is also phenomenal. Since meeting Noel and having him tattoo me, I now know I will be returning to him for all my future pieces. Hands down will recommend Noel- no hesitation.

I been getting tats for 26 years. I know the rules. I read the rules when my son was feeling out information. I ask my son if the young lady knew he was 17. He sad no. I told him I just read they don't do under 18. So I told old buddy because I wanted to know if there was paperwork for me to sign like other shops I have been to in 26 years. He tell myn17 year old "YOUR Fucked" I said don't be like that to him. I read your rules and that's why was going to ask about paperwork for a minor. I told the young lady thank you for being pleasant but that guy Hell no..so all black ppl don't walk in there. The way this man talked to a good student,great ball player for the school and he is not a street kid. The way he talked to him and me. Nah black ppl don't go in there do out that money in the young lady hand. She was nice and she was sorry she couldn't do it..The other dude can go straight to hell for the way he talked to my kid. I know the rules, so we will go to the first shop we went to downtown. Sign the paperwork and give that money to someone else
