I cannot overstate how welcoming and professional the team at South Shore is. After reading some…read morestellar reviews and looking at online portfolios I was genuinely impressed with what I saw of Jesse's work. I had a vision of what I wanted done as a tribute to my sons and from my initial inquiry through the finishing touches they helped me bring it to life. Communication was spectacular every step of the way - I shared an overview of what I was looking for through those first texts which paved the way for a terrific consultation where Jesse took the time to go over everything, let me know what he needed from me, and provided some great resources for picking out the right font, even providing helpful pointers for what to look for in different fonts so that it would continue to look great for years to come. On arrival day of Jesse already had a mockup ready to go and was more than accommodating with some minor changes I wanted done. I can't say the process was painless for obvious reasons but it was as smooth as one could ever hope for. The work was clean, the price was extremely fair, and I left with a piece I'm super happy with that has already received a bunch of compliments even though it's still in the healing phase. South Shore has my highest recommendation and has definitely won a repeat customer with me. Can't wait to do it again.

From the moment you walk into the door you're greater with chill music, a welcoming atmosphere,…read moresuper friendly owner and staff. They offer you water and coffee while you wait. They chat you up a bit and then you meet your artist. In my case I had Chris Raft who was an expert in eastern and Japanese traditional tattoos. He draws up an example, prints it out and brings you back into the room. This place has separate rooms for each artist. Super clean and upscale looking. He laid down the stencil making sure it's positioned in the exact way wanted. He laid down the finest outline I ever had, filled it in with color that was flawless in every way. Talking the whole time making me feel comfortable. Super cool guy, when it's all done give you the opportunity to review it, take your photos for the gram, and gives you two different ways of protecting it. They have a second skin and the old school way of protecting your investment. The prices here are on the higher end but the services justified the price. You have to remember this is a permanent investment and you shouldn't go by price alone. I will be coming back here to get more work done with Chis in the very near future.

As opposed to using a separate needle for shading, he used the same needle as the line work. During the healing process, the tattoo scabbed over and when the scab fell off the tattoo was completely faded and scared over. I've never had this experience in my life and my whole left arm is tattooed. Would never ever recommend this shop to anyone nor will I ever return. First and last time. Please be weary of this artist. I have pictures to verify scaring.

Welp. I have to write this review and I REALLY REALLY didn't want too. But I went in for a tattoo…read moreabout a year ago I'm in my early 20's not even out of college, and I was going through a rough period of my life. I never had a tattoo before and I showed up to the appointment clearly high (on Xanax) but the artist went through giving me a large tattoo on both of my hands. woke up the next day immediately regretting the decision and now have to under go painful laser removal because it is already affecting my career since graduated. I just wish the artist said "no." After talking with friends who are covered in tats most artists would never tattoo the hands as a first tattoo, so yes I did get what i asked for but I now wish I would have gotten it anywhere else like my arms All in all very unsatisfied wish this place had better guidance for new customers.

We were looking forward to "you get what you get, and you don't get upset." I ended up getting a Poker Hand and my daughter got a Cat. Something normal that we both would have chosen. Our artist was Brooke, and she was just so lovely and friendly and appreciated what we were trying to do with the random tattoos. She was excellent, I highly recommend her. We had so much fun with the randomness, we absolutely would do it again. Shop and procedures were very clean.

I spoke to Jess about what I wanted, and explained an issue I was having with a current piercing. Jess listened to all of concerns and about what I wanted for my new piercing. She didn't rush me and actually listened and gave me feedback. Then, in the chair I was. Before I knew it Jess took care of one of my piercings and then I had the new piercing I wanted. Jess had such a gentle touch and made sure I was comfortable. We even made some small talk during the short piercing process. I will absolutely be back for all my piercing needs as well as when I decide what my next tattoo will be. The shop itself was very clean. Great music playing as well. 5 stars all the way!
