Tattoo Shops near Essex

“First time there and my experience was awesome. Taylor was nice, the owner was so nice I didn’t even know she was the owner. Maverick did my tattoo, he was nice as well. He did an awesome job on my tattoo. I will be back.“

“@infernatattoos did an amazing job with this filler piece. Lu was super easy to work with and shared some great stories to pass the time during the tattoo. Overall great experience from start to finish. I definitely recommend them.“

“It was my first time at the shop and what and phonemal experience it was; All the Ladies were very professional and friendly. Jess did excellent work on my tattoo, the vibe was very easy and relaxing as well. I had a great day/birthday, I will be returning soon, Thank you Jess ?“

“Excellent customer service. I had a nose piercing very fast for walk in. Going back for ear piercing and recommended service to my friends and family. ?✔️??“

“Had a great experience getting a nostril piercing with Joseph! He took his time making sure my piercing was even with a previous one and made it as quick and painless as possible!“

“I'm blown away by the wonderful service we received. We had our 7 year-old's ears pierced there for her birthday. Bree was our piercer and took time explaining everything to our daughter, showing her all the tools that she would use, and took the time to explain body autonomy to her and that she's in charge of the process. Bree even had my seven year old sign the release (as well as me). And to put into practice that she was in charge of her own body, Bree asked permission before performing each step.
It was such a great, professional, and genuinely nice experience. I highly recommend.

Note that for minors, you must make an appointment ahead of time and bring documentation to prove that they belong to you.“

“I went this past weekend to get 2 piercings, and I must say, I WILL BE GOING BACK! everyone here is so friendly! my piercer was amazing! she stepped me through everything, was very attentive, and made sure I was comfortable and understood everything during and after! I've had these 2 piercings before which have rejected, but since getting them done by her I have had minimal to NO PAIN with my septum or the industrial I had her do! their healing so well and I love them! highly recommend this place!“

“I can’t emphasize enough what a great experience I had at Spellcraft! The space is clean and well-managed, with great vibes coming from all employees. I worked with Scott and am so grateful for his patience, skill, and encouragement throughout my sternum piece. The entire booking process was clear and easy, and the entire experience was well worth what I paid. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Crysta is awesome! The best piercing experience I’ve ever had! She was patient and worked with me to figure out exactly what I wanted and helped me put in earrings that I was having trouble with. Also, very reasonable prices. I will be going back!

Cleanliness: Very clean and sterile!“

“Just received my second tattoo from Ashleigh a few days ago. She does really fantastic work; her work is very detailed and the color is gorgeous. I haven't even requested anything custom yet, her pre-drawn designs and flash designs are great. I'm also a fairly quiet, introverted person and she never tries to force a conversation which I really appreciate.

The shop itself is a pretty relaxing place to get tattooed. Tattoo shops sometimes lean too hard into it for my taste, with flash everywhere and can feel a little stale. But here, there's a great vibe here with plants and artwork“

“Went in today to get my daughter's 1st tattoo for her 17th birthday and a helix piercing. They made sure she was happy with placement and design before starting anything. The tattoo was important as it represents her and her 2 sisters and Tony nailed it, we didn't catch the piercers name but he did awesome as well. She will be returning for future tattoos and we would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for a great experience!“

“The lady who did our tattoo was so friendly really quick and a pro at script writing! Would highly recommend“

“As soon as I came in for my tattoo consultation with Clay a couple of months ago, I knew I was in great hands. He made me feel comfortable right away, his shop was super clean, his prices were extremely reasonable, and it was clear he was an expert at his craft.

During the actual tattooing, Clay was great to chat with as he worked. And he routinely checked in to make sure I was tolerating the pain okay.

Watching Clay bring my tattoo to life was a privilege—his talent is incredible. I am blown away at how well it came out, and I am so happy to have this work of art on me forever!“

“Clean, friendly, and super professional! Went in for some piercing therapy and walked out with two new piercings ?“

“Came in off the street as a walk-in had the owner tattoo me was very satisfied with all three pieces over $1000 worth of work“

“Meant to leave this review months ago, but this shop saved my whole month. I was struggling looking for professional artist who not only had time but were active in money talks and communication i found it. I wish i could remember who did my tattoo cause i will be back, she did great and was so patient with me. I only take away a star cause the prices for barely two tattoos were way too high but the quality of work is still top notch“

“Loved the piercings done by rampage, she was amazing and had great energy. I got industrial piercings, and they were $70, and it hurt a little, but the way she did it, the experience was good and it didnt hurt afterwards, she was good at letting us know how to do aftercare. Thank you for such a good time, and I will go again for another one.“

“I can’t say enough about the incredible talent and professionalism of this artist and shop owner, Stevie Monie. His work speaks for itself—his realism portraits are beyond impressive, capturing every detail with precision and depth that makes the tattoo come alive. He specializes in larger-scale custom pieces and sleeve work, and you can tell he pours his heart into every design.

The shop atmosphere is welcoming and professional, and he makes the entire process comfortable from start to finish. If you’re looking for an artist who’s not only insanely skilled but also passionate about his craft, this is the place. Truly one of the best in the industry—I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin.“

“Jason was my tattoo artist. He was amazing and very friendly and he did an amazing job with my tattoo. I would definitely recommend this tattoo shop and I plan on going back. Very wonderful people and very friendly.“

“Great local tattoo shop that offers talented artist that give awesome tattoos. Brett has been tattooing me for over 15 years. Other artist as well have great work! Highly recommend“

“I’ve followed Jeff for years, since he was closer to me in Annapolis. This is the second black & gray tattoo I’ve had him do, and will definitely be back for more. This new shop is very clean, professional, and bumps some awesome music. Go check out Jeff!“

“Eddie is amazing. Very easy to talk with and share ideas. I had just a thought in my head about what I wanted. He brought it to life. Do yourself a favor and go see the group if your looking for an artist By the way this is also a coverup. Amazing work“

“Under new, and wonderful management! I got my sleeve finished by Logan who is a wonderful artist. Would highly recommend this respectful and clean shop.“

“I sent my guy $2,000 on accident. 2 bands!!!! And he sent it back no hesitation. I appreciate his professionalism and his customer care. Definitely top tier service overall!!!“

“Jon first tattooed me back in 2016 and he's done majority of my tatts (latest one being Sept 2022) His quality gets better and better as time goes on. Watching him progress and succeed over the years, to now owning his own shop- he definitely deserves it. The space is clean and comfortable and Jon really keeps it professional. I absolutely trust his judgement and ideas! His lines are clean and shading is on point. You can tell he really loves what he does & takes pride in his work. (as he should) Even over the years, the tattoos look great and I get compliments everywhere I go. Would highly recommend consulting with Jon about your next tattoo!“
