I love Anthony. He was referred to me by my son's father who has had work done. I have had 4 major pieces in the last yr or so. Wouldn't go anywhere else. My son also has 2 from him and will go back around Christmas time for another. And I'm sure many more. Definitely knows what he is doing . I get a ton of complements on his work. He's a total professional and has his work to back I'm up. He's amazing and will never go to anyone else. :) Read Less

The owner took a deposit from a child she knew to be 17 years old. The child canceled the next day much in advance of any appt. Dina Kinel refuses to return the child's funds. The child was never at the shop nor did an adult sign a contract on her behalf. That is the type of business person Ms. Kinel is. She would rather profit off a child than do the right thing. She probably has to pay lawyers with the child's $ for all of her pending court cases in Meriden. Read Less

I do not recommend this place at all! The festering wound that was supposed to be my first tattoo is just now starting to heal. The tattoo artist was quite friendly but the women that I dealt with (co-owner according to their website?) was extremely rude and all she cared about was money. She got her money but certainly will never get my business or my recommendations again. Read Less

Anthony is great..he takes his time and does not rush anything. He works close with you to make sure everything is right..placement & design. I am returning on Saturday to get some more work done by him. The shop is clean and inviting. Dina is awesome too, she is welcoming and makes the experience a positive one! Love this place..if you're looking to get your first tattoo or a new artist search no further! Read Less

I had been to the shop on a Saturday looking to get a tattoo. The artists did not have time for me that day, which is understandable. The lady at the front desk called me to schedule an appointment for thursday at 5 pm. Thursday came, and I sat at the shop for over an hour and a half, and Anthony never even showed up to do my tattoo. After being told numerous times he was usually late, but worth waiting, I got tired of hearing it. The front desk lady left after about an hour of us being there, while i was told he was on his way. I ended up leaving the shop at 6:45 disappointed and angry that they had wasted my time. Needless to say, I will not be returning or recommending this shop to anyone I know. Read Less

Ant did my first tattoo recently, and I am very happy with it. It was a simple design (just script / text on my ribcage) but he really went the extra mile to make sure it came out perfect. He also explained everything in detail, including aftercare measures. He did a tattoo on my boyfriend as well- he has several tattoos already, but this one really stands out and it's not even finished yet! I have a few more planned, and will go to this shop for all of them... No need to look anywhere else, when your artist is this talented. Read Less
