Britt did my first tattoo! Not only did it come out better than I ever expected, the shop was wonderful! Mike and Britt are a ton of fun and quickly eased my anxiety! Amazing experience and will surely recommend friends to come here! Read Less

Absolutely the best experience ever! Mike and Brittany are amazing and they make sure you are comfortable and get some good laughs while getting tatted. On top of that talent wise Brit is the bomb! Can't even express how much I love my tattoo. Beyond fantastic! Read Less

Mike is the utmost professionally. Clean/spotless shop! He has done at least 15 tats and has done an outstanding job every time. Personally I have sent him 12 friends who feel the same way. Without a doubt the BEST tattoo shop in the area !! Read Less

Mike was awesome.  After having a really, really bad few days, I, and for the record I am the QUEEN of poor choices, suggested to my BFF that we should go get supafruity matching tattoos.  And I mean not just any matching tattoos, matching tattoos with our names on them.  So we call mike two hours prior to closing.  Without (much) protest, he tells us to come down.  Not only did he customize my amazing scratch art into something even amazing-er (if that's a thing), he tattooed us both for an fair cost AND stayed an hour late.  AND it was amazing work.  I'll be going back for sure.

I had a great time with Britt this weekend getting my second tattoo (first with her). She drew up a beautiful mandala for me and did a fantastic job with it. Her lines are so crisp and perfect, I really don't know how she has such a precise hand so early in her career. I met Mike while I was there and he seems like a standup guy. Two professional, personable tattooers who bring very different strengths to Artifact. I got an appointment in a reasonable amount of time and paid a fair price. Already recommending all my CT folks stop in for their ink needs! Read Less

Artifact tattoo is one of the better and most professional businesses I have ever been to. They provide a clean and comfortable environment with good people and good music and most importantly, incredible artists. Britt who was my artist is kind, funny and very talented is still apprenticing but you wouldn't know it by looking at her art. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique piece. Read Less

What can I say? I've been going here since I was 17! I get ALL of my Tattoos from Mike! His work on my arms gets compliments daily and I am always asked the question "Where did you go for your Tattoos?" Artifact in Newington is my answer. I am super loyal to this place and the artist! Read Less

I had Mike May do some work for me on several occassions. His work is Fabulous! His Custom Work is out of this World! His Price was Great, his reliabilty and loyalty to me as a customer was friendly; along with professional! Not to mention the cleanest shop I can remember visiting. I would recommend this shop and have recomended this shop. " I had a piece done from Mike 14 years ago; my first piece he did and one of many pieces Mike did for me. With No Special care or treatment of the pieces that Mike did; Not One looks old or faded and the light colors like white or yellow are still as vivid as the day he did them." "He also Never shared the artwork of the custom pieces he did for me ever" Thanks Artifact Tattoo, Sean Brooks Sr. Read Less
