What an AMAZING experience I had at this shop!…read more My mom, sister, and I made same-day appointments with Jess at this beautiful tattoo/piercing/art gallery shop in downtown North Conway. It honestly was the best day in recent memory. This shop is unlike any tattoo spot I've been to - it's serene, calming, and immediately puts you at ease in a situation where you might be feeling a little nervous. Jess, Emma (the other tattoo artist), and Wayne (a piercer who has pierced me several times!) are all welcoming and fabulous to have conversations with. Jess is such an amazing artist - watching her tattoo is a thrill - and her artwork hanging around the shop is unreal. I spent much of my time here observing her amazing paintings, as well as the loads of gorgeous plants, succulents, and Victorian-esque items! This shop is clean, the artists are genuine, and the work they do is the best I've ever experienced. I don't see a reason to go anywhere else... I'll be back asap, Darling Grey!

What an unexpectedly positive experience! I walked into ampersand with no appointment looking to…read morehave a small tattoo done. The place was pristine which made me instantly comfortable about going to a tattoo place i wasn't familiar with. It was decorated uniquely with a cool color scheme that i appreciated. Anyways, back to the important part...I wanted one word in a specific font put on the side of my hand. Enter Nate: he was pretty honest with me that a tattoo in that part of the hand would most likely not last and wasn't the best idea, then worked with me to find a better spot. He was patient with me and helped me understand and feel comfortable with the placement. He had a nice attitude and a friendly demeanor and didn't make me feel like a nerd for getting a game of thrones tattoo , which is was nice. He must have the magic touch because the tattoo itself barely hurt at all! after the work was completed he explained to me the after care thoroughly and gave me a card with everything written down. I love my new ink and would gladly go back if I ever want another. I highly recommend this shop! Ps extra points for being reasonably priced.

I was going to do a cover up but then decided on a bracelet tattoo, then decided on the cover up again. Basically I was all over the place. I have to say, no matter which turn my indecisiveness went, Francis had explained how things would look with my every thought process and through his experience; he was able to guide me to a decision that I'm happy with and the result of the tattoo really came to full fruition. I'm grateful towards Francis. Thank you for my beautiful tattoo!

I reached out to Midnight Moon after seeing them on Instagram. I sent over photos and booked a consultation with Amber. During the consultation we discussed what I wanted, price and how long I could expect it to take. I booked my appointment for 8 hours. Amber was amazing throughout the entire process. We took breaks and she got it done in less than 8 hours! I absolutely LOVE my new tattoo and I'm so grateful.

It's the second floor of a house, and you genuinely feel like you've been welcomed into a home. And then the artists...are spectacular in really every way. Everyone I have met has been so nice, so cool, and of course so skilled and talented. They take their work tremendously seriously and produce amazing results. On top of all that, their prices are super reasonable. Getting inked can be super nerve wracking, particularly if it's your first time. I can't imagine a better studio than Tsunami to put you at ease. Seriously I can't recommend them highly enough.

Matt is so kind and knows exactly what will work and what won't. He's not going to give you a shitty tattoo. The " shop" is in a beautiful second floor Portland apartment flat.

You need an appointment and I'd recommend calling well ahead because they do not take walk ins.
