This was, by far, the most amazing tattoo experience I've ever had. Alin's shop is clean, cozy, and calming. 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! Read Less

I received my first tattoo this past Friday and I must say thanks to tattoo artist Alin, he was fantastic at making my experience comfortable. He is a very nice guy who took the time to answer all my questions and gave me comforting reassurance. The place and the equipment are clean and it is not dark and creepy. I will definitely go back for my second experience and I would definitely recommend Propaganda to anyone looking to get inked. Read Less

I love this shop so much! It’s always clean and friendly! I don’t know if I’ve met everyone yet but the few that I have met have been so kind and creative and knowledgeable about what they do. It makes me feel comfortable being there and all the work is amazing. I’ve gotten tattoos with Erica and she is just such an amazing thoughtful person. She takes pride in her work and it shows. You are in good hands with her! I can’t speak for everyone else because I haven’t gotten tattooed by them but I have seen their work and I can say that it is phenomenal! Read Less

What an amazing experience! My childhood friend Erica worked her magic and created an amazing cover up piece over an existing small tattoo. I couldn't be more pleased with the completed work.

Before getting this tattoo I had a lot of questions. I was told by other tattoo artists from other tattoo shops that color spreads and color won't last when doing thin lines. I wanted a simple outline of a lotus. James from propaganda made me feel welcome and instantly trusted him. I'm a person who is very hesitant especially about tattoos. That same day we made an appointment and I left my deposit confident in my decision. I couldn't wait. Few days later I went in to get my tattoo. We discussed colors and I wanted a mix of burgundy and magenta. I was worried we wouldn't be able to find the color but James mixed the colors for me to make the perfect customized color I wanted. I was so happy. Took me a while to figure out where I wanted my tattoo but James was very patient with me and my indecisiveness. I felt so relaxed and at ease. I had 2 other tattoos done some where else and this experience has been way better than the others. I love all my tats but never did I bond and have good conversations with the artists and manager. Propaganda is a real welcoming place. The people are authentic, respectful and very chill. They don't sell themselves to be the best but I think they are the best so they don't need to flaunt it. After posting my tattoo and tagging James on my IG 4 people have commented saying they got work done by James and loved his work. One guy said "that's my homie" another girl said " he deals with my headaches"... With feed back from followers and my own experience I believe James is awesome not just because of his talent but his personality. Propaganda is the place to go. Read Less

I really wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo. Alin is an incredibly nice guy and takes real pride in everything he does. The studio is clean and neat, and not dark and creepy like so many other studios are. He make sure you get exactly what you want and patiently walks you through the design process, with the goal that you walk out of the place happy with your new piece of art. His prices are reasonable, and he is incredibly professional and trustworthy. I can't recommend this place enough.... Read Less

A friend of a friend came here a while back and I saw the pictures and fell in love. I live in California but came back to visit family here in CT and figured I might as well get a tattoo while I'm home. After searching around and remembering some of the artwork I saw before from Propaganda I knew that this was where I wanted and needed to go. Alin was my artist and I definitely made the right decision in come here. I honestly had one of the best experiences I've ever had getting a tattoo here. I've never been more satisfied and happy with the outcome. He was very friendly, helpful, and a joy to talk to since I had to sit for about an hour and a half (he even invited my girlfriend to join is meditation group). The shops a little tight but cozy, the other staff was friendly, and everything was clean and sterile. I'm actually going back in a week to have Alin fix another tattoo that I have that is blown-out and distorted. Waiting until I came back form California to come here was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Coming here just to check it out is worth your time. Read Less

I recently got a tattoo done by Alin. Not only was he incredibly patient with me as I tried to decide where I wanted to put it, he offered his professional, and incredibly sound advice - without trying to pressure me. I originally wanted it on my foot, but because of my skin quality (poor - haha, this I knew!) it just wasn't a good place. It wound up on my inside right ankle, slightly angled and curved so it flows with my body. It's beautiful. I am incredibly happy with it, and should I decide to get another tattoo, and am in CT, I will definitely go there again. Read Less
