My tattooing experience is not very broad. Although I have six tattoos, I've only been to two…read moreshops. When I find an artist who does clean work that matches the vision of what I wanted why would I go anywhere else. At Goodspeed, George, Jeremy and Clarissa interact like you are visiting them at home. The decor of the shop is eclectic. The music is surprising. George has done 4 of my six tattoos. Once you develop a level of trust with an artist, getting ink done is much more enjoyable. On my most recent visit I brought my daughter for her first tattoo. Both of us are super happy with how the tattoos came out. Goodspeed is a great little local shop for getting your ink done. But a tattoo shop is not a salon or preschool. Be ready for the chaotic energy that goes with artists creating permanent pieces of art on people's bodies. I don't have plans for any new work, yet. But when I do, Goodspeed is where I will go.

This was, by far, the most amazing tattoo experience I've ever had. Alin's shop is clean, cozy, and…read morecalming. Alin is even better. He is funny, professional, and a master of his craft. I was sincerely impressed by his use of technology to enhance the sketch and stencil. I got three small tattoos and it was a painless and enjoyable process. He took a lot of time to make sure everything I wanted was perfect...And the end result was better than I could have imagined. I'm just glad I didn't find him sooner! I'd be covered!!! Ha! You definitely need to make an appointment, and any wait is 100% worth it. I cannot gush over this shop enough!

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!

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!

I've had ornery tattoo artists in the past, but Matt is patient, a lot of fun, and also a real nice guy. The price was fantastic. I come from NYC where tattoos are $200 an hour, sometimes more. It was nearly half that here. One hell of bargain considering the quality of work, expertise, and relaxed environment. Also I was very happy to see a very clean and sanitary work space. Matt took great care and doing everything by the book. I highly recommend this place. Considering there's not a lot of tattoo shops in the vicinity of Storrs, it's great to know that the one that is, is really great.

I have had a few different artists over the years, a couple I stayed with for numerous pieces. Lou is the one I'll be staying with now. He is an insanely talented artist as you can see from my photo (and the rest of his portfolio), with a really wonderfully easy-going personality to boot. His hand is not only skilled but very gentle. I went in slightly nervous after having already done a piece on my spine years ago which hurt like a mother F-er, and he proved I had nothing to worry about... 2.5 hours of sitting pretty with no issues at all. He went above and beyond in every way during my first visit. I could not be happier with how the tattoo came out or how the whole experience was overall! As for the shop itself, it's filled with amazing artwork and is impeccably clean. I made 2 more appointments for this summer already and you should too!
