i agree, my first is from there, done by kevin... hes awsome

Woonsocket, eh?

I am at the moment more interested in stuff close to the Boston area reliable for simple pieces - I have one or two in mind and don't need a top of the line artist or anything, just a reputable, consistent place.

redemption is really good in boston i have had a few friends get pieces there

http://www.redemptiontattoo.com/

someone is going to mention pino bros from boston....i think they suck.

That kind of info is much appreciated as well ;)

Golden Tattoo in Salem NH. See Alex, he's fucking sick!

ART FREEK TATTOO ! Providence, Rhode Island

I got my tongue pierced at golden.

pffft piercing your tongue, be a man and split it !

my guy is down in Swansea at atomic ink.
in March a bunch of us and some guys from guttural secrete, retch, skinned, and probably a few more west coast dudes are renting out a shop for the weekend in march in NH. i don't know where it is. should be fun though.

art freek is awsome as well, a vast majority of great artists in new england earned thier licencing at art freek... a lot of good artists and work come out of that shop

Creepy Creation in Londonderry NH

My girlfriend. Give us your money. E-Mail me at humanity_is_purged@hotmail.com for info.

I got mine from Aaron at Sin on Skin in Tiverton, RI. It's right over the MA border.

But yeah, I know lots of people who go to Redemption in Somerville and speak highly of it.

stay away from chameleon in the garage in harvard square
they have a reputation for not being very good

i can suggest awesome places in montreal...but it's not that local

Raynard from Darkwave & lightwave tattoo

- if you want something horror related he's the guy to go to. he did my sisters tattoo of jason voorheast --- it's insane!

he's an amazing artist and a really nice guy. take a look at his portfolio & his drawings!

http://www.maggotsdelight.com/tattoo.htm

take a look at his artwork --- it totally blows my mind what this guy can do with pen paper let alone a gun & ink.
http://www.maggotsdelight.com/artwork.htm

teagan from lightwave tattoo is amazing too!

her black & white work is incredible. i watched her tattoo someone for 2 hours and i was just blown away by her talent. this chicks knows how to work the tattoo gun!!!!

http://www.lightwavetattoos.com/artists_tegan.htm

My drummer got all his stuff there... good work...

the portfolios on http://www.sinonskin.com/home.htm and http://www.sinonskin.com/home.htm suck balls. sub par mediocre biker shit studios. might as well order a rub on tattoo and some hepititis online and you would probably get the same results.

also Julie Moon in seabrook NH

hehehe

federal hill in providence, semi-expensive but worth the money
http://www.federalhilltattoo.com
cobra's in plymouth, not too expensive, i was able to barter with them from 200-150
http://www.cobracustomtattoo.com

he did the skull on my left hand.

http://www.acutebodyarts.com/

ask for John Williams. the guy in Spider Gates, brother of Pete Williams, who used to be in RK.

his tattoos rock. quite a bit. very talented.

So far very satisfied with the work Jay Moretti at Masterpiece in Framingham did yesterday...

is that off RT. 9?

It's right on Route 9, westbound... It's between Shopper's World and the Route 126 exit, kinda on the top of that hill.

show the ink

=)

Haha in due time, no digicam or webcam, and I am pretty lazy about getting film developed...

no shit, i go to school around there, i've lived in this area my whole life and I never knew framingham had a shop there!

Tattooed Dragon in Lynn does some pretty good work.

....or Double Dragon in Derry N.H.

bulldog tattoo
benefit street in pawtucket r.i. (you'll be able to see it from route 1A)
best tattoo artists in new england
decent prices
-l-

If Art Freek Tattoo is still around in Providence thats another good one.

Studio3, in Pembroke, NH

Tiki tattoo in Mansfield mass is a new shop. They're off the hook with their work! great shop, clean as all hell and great prices... they're gonna be a shop top recon with i think.....I get my stuff done their now, i used to go to a place in pawtucket ....

hector @ skin graff on stafford st. in worcester does probably THE best work around here and has the best deals

http://www.myspace.com/kartutat2

I'm going to have to go with Mike on this one, Skin Graff in Worcester is amazing, simply because hector is the guy i got for my tattoos. Insanely good work and very good prices if you bring him a really good piece. If you go to his site the batman and joker tattoos are mine

Josh_hates_you said:

I've had all mine done at Granite City in Quincy Ma.

http://granitetattoos.com/

Bill's the one who did all my work. He's a cool guy too.

Fat Ram's in JP

Tattoo Fever. Period. Dana is brilliant.

Atomic Ink [swansea I think]...Andrew Paquita. Dude is SICK.

that dude Hector at Skin Graff is out of this world. the work he did on Beaver McD's arm is astonishing. he is definitely who i am going to.

Josh_hates_you said:

Andrew is the man...be prepared to wait 3-4 months for an appointment at this shop.

avoid black diamond.

good guys, but all their work I've seen looks like they are trying to rush you out the door so they can get paid.

don't like their line work one bit

sure if he shows up!!

Masterpiece on route 9 sucks. Really didn't like that place at all


I'm all for chameleon tattoo in cambridge. The guy John there does AMAZING greyscale work and is very professional
http://www.chameleonbodyarts.com/john.htm

anything in whitman and abington is pure poison. only good shop on the south shore in stinky monkey.. tony and jerry are both worht their wait time.. cobra customs is a bunch of fucks.. but midas from there is a deent dude.. and tats well.

I've heard mixed things about "Action Ink" in Taunton. Anyone know this place?

My guy used to work in Rochester NH, but just recently moved to a shop in Salisbury MA called Keepsake(which saves me about a half hour on my drive)!
If you love grim and very detailed work, Nick Filth is your man.

Ben (ex-Graveyard BBQ) @ Pino Bros

I'm getting mine done by Andrew from Atomic Ink in Swansea tomorrow. He does bad ass shit and has been doing it for years. If you're near there I suggest checking him out.

Atomic Ink = awesome

Tiki Tattoo is extremely good.. they're booked out 3-4 weeks . but its well worth the wait.. i waited 4 weeks for my appointment but if they're that busy then they're doing something right!! See Don he's unbelievable.. A funny prick too!!

Holy wowzers. I've been planning on going there for my next one. Can't wait, I know he'll do an awesome job. Everyone at that shop is fantastic.

Spyglass tattoo in Manchester on South Willow ST is AMAZING
I'd check them out
both Dave, and Bud won at the LFOD Tattoo convention Dave won first for Best Full Sleeve and Chest piece as well as second in Medium piece.. Bud won Second in best full sleeve.
Dave did my tattoo and i couldn't be any happier with the results.

Nick Flanagan (drummer from Hatchet) at Dragon's Lair Tattoo in Salem, NH did my first tattoo last night. He won 2 awards at the convention in Manchester. One was leatherface that won 2nd place for women's small piece, and a huge zombie backpiece in 1st place for woman's large piece. Dude is sick and works so goddamn fast.

Bud was also at that Dragons Lair shop in Salem, and opened up his own in Manchester

Nice! I'm actually planning on going there to get him to do my next piece.

Nick at Dragon's Lair that is.

Good choice Doug! He does some of the best horror movie work. I'm already going back on August 15th for more.

603 tattoo in salem,nh is the place to go if your looking for traditional or japanese..........check them out on myspace, wicked clean work and no rockstar attitudes or prices, plus they have guest artists from all over the world
