    Jake the sole owner and artist is a master with a tattoo gun. I am extremely impressed with the work I got done here ALL MY INK WILL BE DONE WITH HIM MOVING FOWARD. Please cheack him out on his socials. He is also very reasonably priced. Shop is very clean and has amazing decor.

    I do not recommend NH custom tattoo. This was my experience, and I want to start off by saying I have reached out to jake and have been without a response for over 48 hours which has led me to leaving this review. I am upset, and very frustrated. I found jakes shop on google, and came in to talk about the tattoo I wanted. During this time I found him abrasive, as he told me that he was concerned about giving me a "bad tattoo" due to the sizing I wanted. Should have been my first red flag. As I was very excited, I decided to move forward anyway and get the tattoo. I started off by letting jake know I was on a budget, and he assured me that he could work with it. From there, he had me send him multiple photos of what I was looking for. As we started the tattoo I found him to be extremely Heavy handed, but he tried to write it off as me being in a calorie deficit (which I normally am due to diet). As the tattoo went on, I was continuously in a lot of pain, but thought it might be due to where I was getting the tattoo. About half way through he offered me Advil for the swelling, which I found weird, but said ok because I was feeling a lot of pain and hoped it would help. During the tattoo I noticed jake was continually wringing out his paper towels filled with ink, blood, and water back into the cap he was filling his tattoo needles with, and then using the same ink to put back into my skin. I had never seen this done before, but hoped he was a professional who knew what he was doing as he claimed. What he gave me was Advil PM. Though Advil pm is not a strong sedative, that is REALLY a weird thing to do when you are alone in a shop with a woman. Knowing it was not a regular Advil, I pocketed it and waited until I left the shop to see what exactly he had given me. Once the tattoo was finished, i was pretty happy with the result. To the untrained eye, and from photos taken at a distance, the tattoo looked fine. I thanked him, and he began to encourage that I add in shading and color, to which I responded that I was concerned about my budget. At this point he informed me that the bill was at $320 for under 2 hours of work. I was absolutely shocked, denied any further work, and told him I needed to leave. I paid him, as I truly didn't feel like I could do anything else. In the moment, I tried to act kindly, thanked him for his work and left. Once home, I realized that what happened in this shop was unprofessional, not normal, and boarders on behavior that is dangerous. I have messaged jake trying to rectify the situation, and I have had two tattoo artists look at the work. He has not responded, and discontinued responding the moment I told him I wanted to continue to text to have a record of the conversation. The line work is horrible. I have multiple blow outs and ink bleeds from his inconsistency in pressure. The way my skin is chewed up is unbelievable. I have never received such a horrible tattoo. Then came the healing. I am currently 3 days into healing and thank god this tattoo has not gotten infected. The second day, my leg was so swollen and red that I was genuinely thinking about seeing a doctor for preventive antibiotics. I used manuka honey to leach out any infection for its antibacterial properties. Once I applied it, the tattoo BURNED horribly, and I watched as my tattoo began to weep a clear liquid (not sure what it was. Probably pus), blood, and excess ink. I have never been so worried. This tattoo will most likely not heal well, which is what I have been told by two other tattoo artists. I will most likely wind up needing a cover up for this tattoo. I genuinely DO NOT like to do this to other businesses, I do not like to blast them on Facebook, but the complete lack of communication, respect, handing me a medication that was not what was offered, the consistency of the work, and the over all experience has left me feeling like I have no choice. I would recommend finding another shop. Best of luck jake.

    I gave him 2 stars instead of 1 because he's a nice guy, but I am truly unhappy with the work I got, and didn't even go back for a touch-up because I didn't want it ruined any more. I think there's something to be said about tattooing the traditional way, with stencils. There are some white spots that never got any color, there's some terrible shading that looks like a line of hair down my arm and believe it or not, the other picture is birds.
