I got my first tattoo at Jim's a few days ago with Dave. I could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience. Dave was very professional and great to talk to! It was a quick tattoo, but I enjoyed the fact that he was open to chatting with my sister and I during the process. I decided to go with Jim's after a lot of research (I had been waiting on getting this tattoo for about two years). I saw that they were voted number one in NH in 2016, so I travelled down from Portsmouth to make sure I was going with the best. It was definitely worth it. Everything was super clean and hygienic. They charge to use a card, so make sure you either bring cash or a debit card (so you can get cash out of their ATM). From the research I did prior, I can tell you that I got a very reasonable price for my tattoo: $60. It is about two inches long and includes 4 Korean Hanja characters (the older version of today's modern Hangul, Hanja can easily be mistaken for Chinese, as it is also translatable in Chinese, but not commonly used in China anymore). Dave followed the exact lines of the phrase I printed out, and asked me to double check the characters weren't upside down or anything before he began. I would highly recommend Jim's to any of my friends, and plan on returning sometime in the future for my next tattoo! read more

The whole process went amazing from initial consult to final product!! Davey was GREAT!! read more

Not satisfied with their follow up. I was told by Brandon that when my tattoo started fade any one at Jim's would touch it up for free. No Brandon isn't there anymore they are refusing to stand by what I was told. They just argued with me and was very disrespectful. If anyone ever says that they will touch it up when it starts fading in 4-6 years for free get it in writing. read more

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Dan today and let me tell you, this guy is an incredible artist. I don't know what that other yelper was on about, but the Dan who did my hand tattoo was extremely nice. Wicked chill dude! I could tell that he cares deeply about his work. He made sure I was comfortable (hand tattoos are not pleasant!) during the process, which I really appreciated. All the laughing and chatting we did during the session really took the pain level down a bit. I'll definitely be getting more work done by him, and if anyone is looking for a classic traditional piece, hit this guy up! read more

My fiancé and I followed Dan from the previous shop he worked at, simply because the man has incredible talent. He puts mind and heart in every piece he creates, which leaves you with a unique tattoo that you won't see on anyone else's skin. Aside from Dan the man, the shop as a whole is welcoming and excited about your ideas read more

just went to Jim's for a new tattoo on Sunday Feb 6, 2022. Only one customer ahead of me so the wait was very reasonable. Very engaging staff while I waited, Pete was great. I met my artist Christoff. He drew me up a great design , did a fantastic job and was just overall a really good guy. since there was noone waiting behind me, I asked if he could do another simple tattoo for me, which he did without hesitation. Another great tattoo. The price was very reasonable and highly reccommend Christoff at Jim's Tattoo in Seabrook NH. You will not be disappointed ! Marco Shaffer Merrimac, MA read more

Have always had a great experience here ... myself, my husband, my son, my friends and her husband etc. My husband called today and asked for tattoo artists we always went to there and he was told that artist was no longer there and because he asked for him they would not work on him and hung up. So bothered that they would treat repeat customers like that, people that have been going there for over 20 years ... we will gladly take our business elsewhere! read more

Absolutely loved that I could walk in and get a tattoo. Christoph was incredibly honest about what he could and couldn't do. He also tattd my cousins, it was their first time. He was patient and kicked butt at execution. Thank you for our memorable day!!!!! read more

Kind of assholes. They said they had appointments available, then we showed up and they said they couldn't take any of us. No follow up. "Uh can you get the door please" on our way out. yeah go fuck yourself. read more

Came here this past weekend and had a appointment with Pete to get a tattoo for my 2 kids. Pete took what I wanted and made it come alive on my arm. He did a excellent excellent job! I couldn't be any happier with it and hes such a down to earth guy with years of experience and knowledge of the tattoo game. I can't wait to come back and add another one! Thanks Pete! read more

I only had one friend have an incident, but was corrected quickly and even got another friend a tattoo out of it for being so patient. Been going here for 20 years. Never a problem.

I got 2 of my 3 tattoos here, and this place was nothing less than fantastic!!! Clean, friendly, and they do a great job. Jim himself did one of mine and even charged me less than the price posted on the wall!!!! I was a little intimidated by the guys that work there, but once they start your ink, they are really nice! If you want nice work, a clean place, and friendly staff this is the place to go!!! read more

Thank you God for finally bringing me a great tattoo shop. I have had nothing but crappy luck for pretty much all of my past 20 tattoos. This place was literally a breath of fresh air. The people are actually friendly and welcoming unlike other places such as the painted bird in medford where the people are huge jerks. Al was very welcoming and very sweet and nice to talk to. He even offered to grab me Starbucks on his run for his staff. Which was incredibly considerate and it made me even more comfortable there. Usually I feel really uneasy in tattoo shops which is crazy because I have 21, right? But no. Super awesome people working there. This shop is sparkling clean also with private rooms. (Again, unlike the painted bird in medford where you are ONTOP of other people) They and they obviously take pride in the way their shop looks to customers. And it doesn't just look clean, it really is clean. My gorgeous tattoo was done by Ashley Matthias. I knew of her through girls I work with and I loved all of their tattoos that were done by her so I made an apt. She drew up something beautiful for me. I pretty much gave her free reign because I had seen enough of her work to trust her. My tattoo is perfect. All the lines are straight. The shading is incredible. Everything is detailed and perfect and I have a favorite tattoo now. I love all of my tattoos but if I could erase them all and start again with just work by Ashley, I would in a second. Also she charged me the most reasonable price ever. My beautiful detailed custom drawn tattoo was the same price as my stupid little pink skull from the painted bird. So I was able to tip her more. So, basically I'm obsessed with this place, and Ashley and I recommend you do yourself a favor and go here if you want an amazing tattoo in a comfortable clean and friendly shop for a really good price. If you live far away, make the trip because it's worth it. Promise. read more

My daughter got a tattoo here over the summer. It was badly drawn, poorly executed, and incomplete. I am embarrassed for her to have this on her body. She will be going to a different tattoo parlor in January to have it corrected. Cannot recommend this place at all. read more

There are a gazillion places in and around the area to get tattoos. Go to Jim's. These guys and gals are pros. I was a walk in and I was easily able to find a design I liked in the gallery. The guy at the counter was helpful, polite, and was able to quickly point me in the right direction in their extensive gallery. He got me set up with an artist and in the chair without hassle. Kelley did mine and she was very patient while helping me find just the right spot on my shoulder. She was very careful, professional, and pleasant throughout the process. She's very precise and knows what she's doing. My tattoo looks exactly how I wanted it to look. The shop was clean, easy to find, and there are private rooms. And the people working there couldn't be nicer. They want you to be happy with your new permanent friend and it shows. Just can't compliment the staff enough. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. It gets busy, so you might want to make an appointment. I went when they opened on a Friday and it filled up fast. My timing was good. read more

Joe was recommenced to me and I reached out for something not realistic in regards to placement which he very nicely pointed out to me. We talked about other options and my vision. Emailed to discuss further and I provided pictures so we were on the same page. I was excited and Joe was so great, it's not easy to feel at ease for 2+ hours with a bit of a stranger but he is super nice and helps you chat to pass the time and deflect from the situation. I've had plenty of tattoos before but this was probably the best experience regarding passing the time. Our first session was an adult gator on my right foot. In less than a month I was back to get a couple baby gators on my left foot. Neither were a usual style for Joe but he did a great job and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to go back and show him them both fully healed. Gomez in the front is a pleasure as well. Great job guys, see you soon! read more

Great place, they worked with me to design the perfect tattoo. The wall is covered in really cool tattoo art examples. They have many artists in there who are all really good. I got mine from Angry Al and my friends have gotten them from Kelly and Ashley Downsides: The uh 'receptionist' is abrasive and slightly rude. Not the best first impression. Overall this place is great and very clean. Highly recommend it! read more

Got my first work done here by Ashley! She was very patient since I'd never had s tattoo done before. Have returned for 17 more since then. Wouldn't go anyplace else. When asked where I get my ink I'm proud to say Jim's and ask for Ashley. read more

Terrible place. Went there and got absolutely taken advantage of price min was 80. Paid 100 for two tiny shitty tattoos. Mine came out okay but my friends were horrible. They were wicked rude and disrespectful and took advantage of us. Horrible experience. Would not recommend. read more

I went to Jim's on Saturday to get my tattoo updated. I was scared out of my mind from my first experience many years ago. The man that greeted us was friendly and extremely helpful answering all my questions until I felt comfortable having it redone. Joe was my tattoo artist and was so sweet and kind through the entire process. At least 5 times he asked how I was doing and was willing to have friendly conversation as he worked. My tattoo came out exactly how I had wanted it to. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a tattoo. read more

this place is king shit when it comes to tattoos. you hear the name over and over again, but for good reason. they've been around for so long that they can't fuck it up for themselves; they NEED the artists to be the best of the best, and they have to do it with hardcore efficiency. and that they do. the dude you first see when you go in there is the balls. love him. if you're a prissy girl or a puss of a dude, you may be a little inimidated by the guy. he's a tattoo guy. once you get to talking with him, though, it feels like you're going to have a full house, sentimental-music-and-hug-tyme moment. he even lifted up his shirt to show me all his tattoos. if you go in with just an idea, wtf EVER, they're going to help you out. they want to. if you go in with an exact desire, they're going to make it work for you. if you go in wanting something off the wall, you're in luck cause they have a lot of shit to choose. i may laugh at you, but you'll get a good tattoo. i am one of those douche bags that has stars tattooed all over her. no, not nautical stars. thanks for asking, though. i have outlines of stars. i've been drawing them on myself since the nineties. that's some vintage shit. i have four separate tattoos, making a total of 9 stars. korie from jim's is responsible for 5 of those stars and he's going to be the one to give me at least 8 more. he just doesn't know it yet. this place is a class effing act. my boyfriend and i went in on a sunday as they were opening. the guy at the front desk knows what's up in terms of who is better at what, so even though there were 2 or so other guys with no clients, he had us wait for korie, who he knew was super good at stars. that's not to say the other guys weren't; it's just that he rather put us with someone that was proven to be good at stars. i appreciated that so much, you have no idea. when i told the guy i wanted them on my rib cage (p.s. this is called a "ho handle," which made me feel like a #1 class act) and the dude tried to test me and sort of talk me out of it. the girl that was being worked on before us was crying like a baby bitch cause she was getting flowers in the same area. she only was able to get one flower done and had to bail. that was super reassuring to me but that's where i wanted my stars and that's where they were gonna fuckin go! i'm rambling way too much. korie was rad. we were listening to his ipod and a clutch song came on random and i told him i liked them, so he played all clutch from then on out. we joked around like old friends. five stars took probably 10 minutes. he seemed super impressed at how i didn't twitch or shake or shit myself or whine or cry like the turd girl before me. i made one little peep (like, legit a peep because i felt like my sidefat was being dug into with a knife afire) and he yelled at me to shut up and i did. then he thought he offended me, which he didn't cause i knew we were bff, and apologized. this guy rules. p.s. my boyfriend also got stars, on the backs of his arms, and they're pretty amazing. we are dorks and get similar tattoos. this was a year ago, almost exactly, and my tattoos haven't faded even though i go tanning (like an ASSHOLE) and am not the best at remembering to moisturize. they're still dark black and perfect. i want to go back and add more onto the ho handle to be a supreme hipster (is that the right term for a post-emo lame kid?) fuckface. they never bled or got weird. also, i've lost weight since then and they didn't turn into slop. i don't know if that's a result of korie's tattooing but it is for the sake of telling a story, dammit. for two of us it was $300. i don't know the breakdown cause we paid together. steve's stars (two) are about 3 inches large, filled in, and outlined. my five stars vary in size but i guess they average on being 1 inch each. the quality, the cleanliness, and the experience were worth way more than $300. i've never felt more comfortable getting ink permanently fucking up my body in my life. i'm ABSOLUTELY going back. read more

I highly recommend Jim's, during our recent vacation I stopped in a couple of times and had a few questions, each time they took the time to explain everything and at no time did I feel rushed. I ended up getting a totally awesome tattoo that I am extremely happy with. read more

I have gotten two different tattoos from two different artists at Jim's now and I was happy with both. I highly recommend Al, who ended up doing my second tattoo. He does great traditional style tattoos which drew me to his work. Hes very attentive, drew up my tattoo first and we made some adjustments before starting. I didn't feel pressured to talk through the appointment(I am a hairdresser and talk all day so I appreciated this part.) Overall I was very happy and would recommend the shop to anyone I know, and already have! read more

My tattoo artist did basically a great job, but when I asked to have one element of the design corrected I was told by the front desk person that my tattoo is as perfect as I could get even though it is wobbly and uneven. I'm definitely going to have it corrected somewhere else. Terrible customer service. I added a photo with the blue circle. read more

Unfortunately, I was forced to give this place a minimum of 1 star, but if it would allow 0 stars, that's what I would choose. My friend and I went here, after reading all of these seemingly rave reviews of their service and talent.. We were excited, as we planned to get matching tattoos (on the smaller side, not huge, with 2 colors).. When they told us it would be a whopping $130 per tattoo, we had to regretfully pass on getting them that day since we thought, at the most, it would be about $60 (which it is nearly EVERYWHERE ELSE.. I price checked many other places afterwards, believe me). So naturally, they offered us the option to make an appointment, but a $60 cash deposit was required to do so. We stupidly agreed and made an appointment for FRIDAY July 6th at 12:30 PM (I have a picture of the appointment card as proof). Well, as "luck" would have it, we ended up needing to reschedule due to work conflicts (life happens). They do not open until 12pm, so my friend called to reschedule as soon as they opened and they tried to tell her that it was scheduled for Thursday and that it was technically a "no call no show". She thought maybe we read the card wrong, but she double checked the card after she hung up with them and it was definitely written down as 7/06 @ 12:30 pm (which is a Friday, not a Thursday.. Guess someone needs to get a hearing aid at such a young age.. so sad). She rescheduled the appointment for a couple weeks out for another Friday (we could only do it on a Friday. We would NOT have scheduled for a Thursday) , which ended up not working out because she works for a leasing office with limited staff, so if they call her in, she HAS to go. I called this time basically apologize profusely for being a pain about it, explained her working situation and they were clearly pissed off. They suggested just walking in instead of making another appointment, to which I agreed, given the circumstances. When I asked if the $60 would still be held and put towards the total cost of our tattoos, I was told "Oh, that's gone now. You've been a no call no show twice now, sorry.." Um, excuse me, what? We had called in the appropriate amount of time, given the notice she received to go into work, but because THEY clearly don't know how to manage their appointments appropriately, WE lost out on our $60. I do not have $60 to waste on some kid's inability to log appointments on the right date. I will be reporting this to the BBB and I strongly suggest you all take your business anywhere else but this place. The service sucks, too.. absolutely no sense of humor with these guys.. They made us feel uncomfortable when we were originally so excited about our tattoo idea.. I, luckily, found an awesome artist who drew up our design ten times better AND is charging literally HALF the price for the exact same size tattoo and amount of colors. So disgusted with how this place treated us and I sincerely hope that no one else ever has to experience their horrible service or has money stolen from them. read more

Dave was amazing!!! We got to the shop a bit before closing and Dave took his time and made the experience awesome. Dave's knowledge and skill is exceptional. He took time to stay late and did not rush and took complete pride in his skill. From sketching out the absolute best design to standing and tattooing it. I cannot express how great Dave is and we can't wait to get back in to see him. Jim's is the place to go and if you get a chance ask for Dace you will not be disappointed..... read more
