Kat welcomed us with a warm greeting, she was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable, and studio was impeccable and really cute ! She made us feel comfortable right away. I haven't gotten a piercing in awhile and she knew I was a little nervous for my nose piercing, and she made me completely at ease and made the process quick and painless! She took her time to draw where the ring would go and told me each step of what she was doing. Made me feel like I was in good hands!!! Kat was awesome!!!! Really sweet, calming, professional and all around fun to talk to!!! I'll definitely recommend Hamptons Ink to anyone who is considering going there. Now I'm wondering what I can get done next . Thank you, Kat!!!!!

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.

Do not come here for cartilage piercings!!!! I got a double…read morehelix piercing here in September and I recently went to another piercer to get my jewelry switched out. This licensed piercer told me that the jewelry Connecticut Ink put in was not made for cartilage (butterfly backs) and the piercing was done wrong! My holes healed improperly due to the jewelry and somehow the piercing was made at an angle causing it to further take longer to heal. I would not recommend this place for piercings!!

They were very clean/organized with Covid stuff- had me wipe down my phone and hands when I came in and very clean inside the shop. Ed tattooed me and was great! He gave me honest feedback on how to improve my ideas which I really appreciated. His work turned out great and he gave me thorough after-care instructions. My tattoos were simple but Ed does some awesome color work - if you're interested in that definitely check him out! overall I had a great experience and will definitely be back the next time I need a tattoo!

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've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE! It smelled nice and everything was clean. The art was tasteful. They sterilized everything and showed us the chemical strip that showed that everything was sterilized. Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared. Now that I see how well this shop treats people, I'll definitely be back!! My wife went with me and wanted her own piercing after watching my experience! 10/10 would recommend
