PROVIDENCE TATTOO REVIEWS

I have been coming to the shop for about 5 years now. Doug does an amazing job every time. He understands my taste and style. I am grateful and appreciative big time! The shop is very clean, modern, and cozy. Always good tunes going. Thank you.

I had an awesome experience with Providence Tattoo shop in Rhode Island. From the last minute call Saturday evening. To the 4pm tattoo on Sunday. John was super professional and efficient. We had great conversations and he was very open to my ideas and needs. I'd definitely go back if I'm ever in the area. Plus I've never gotten flowers from a man before . Thanks for the great afternoon and another state checked off my list.

I got my first tattoo here and the shop was great! Peter did a great job and had a good attitude. He made my first tattoo a comfortable experience! His work was clean and quick. I would definitely come back sometime.

UNICORN INK REVIEWS

Had my first tattoo yesterday with Kenz & had an amazing experience! Despite me being nervous, the laid back & inviting environment made me feel much calmer. I loved all of the decor in the lobby & the personalized touches that all the artists added to their own rooms. All of the staff I interacted with were very kind & patient. Throughout the entire tattoo process, Kenz did an amazing job at answering all of my questions & making sure I was comfortable. She also did an amazing job at illustrating exactly what I was looking for with my tattoo idea. Definitely reccomend coming here for all of your tattooing needs!.

I had a tribal phoenix done on my right forearm in my early 20s. My fiancé offered to get me a tattoo for my birthday. I reached out to Greg a few weeks back and told him I'd like to have this piece touched up. He was very accommodating to my schedule. He fit me in on short notice, helped give me ideas on how to bring this old tattoo back to life, and did an excellent job. He went far above and beyond my expectations. I'll definitely be back for more work in the near future.

Greg got me in super fast and brought the design I wanted to life. Such a tranquil place that feels super inclusive for everyone. Also, major bonus points for getting me in and out before the storm. Super fast! Will be returning for future visits and recommending to anyone who asks about it.

EAST COAST TATTOOING & BODY PIERCING REVIEWS

Loved Our Experience! My Friends and I Went Yesterday and All Three of Us Could Not Be Happier!!! They Did Smaller Meaningful Tattoos Which Came Out Perfect for Them and I Got a Bumblebee. Brendon Did an Incredible Job With the Details and Was Extremely Professional, Kind, and Funny! All the Staff We Interacted With Were Also Very Patient and Helpful. Also the Prices Are Very Fair. I Will 100% Be Going Back There Again and Would Highly Recommend This Place to Anyone Asking!! Thanks Again Eastcoast Tattoo for Such a Great Experience and a Lifelong Beautiful Piece of Art!!!.

Always an awesome experience!! Lexx is a fantastic piercer and Anthony is a bomb tattoo artist! They make it a very relaxed and enjoyable environment. I go wicked often and always enjoy my time there.

Trevor is a great artist. Easy to talk to and did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. I’m just sad that I’m from Maine and found a tattoo artist that is 4+ hours away. The tattoo is the pumpkin in the photos.
