This place is awesome! Really good, friendly vibe and super welcoming. Sam Childs tattooed me and she did an absolutely amazing job. She catered to exactly what I wanted and listened to my ideas and helped me come up with a beautiful rose piece. She’s a super talented artist and her work is so stunning and versatile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌹 Read Less

Normally don't do many reviews on places but I just had my first piece done here, I've been to several tattoo shops up and down the East coast and I've got to say these guys are the friendliest staff I've met so far. Will definitely be going back soon. Also shout-out to their apprentice Rob, excellent work, definitely looking forward to getting more done soon. Read Less

Great experiences at this shop. I've had three tattoos done by their apprentice, Rob Manix, who is a wonderful artist ! I recommend getting something done by him. The rest of the crew is extremely personable and make you feel welcome. Will definitely be back for more ! Read Less

I just recently had two appointments with Dana. Both appointments were setup and completed in a very reasonable amount of time. Dana does excellent work, and I would recommend him to anyone. I am very pleased with the work I've gotten done at Scorpion, and will definitely return for the future pieces I plan on getting. Read Less

Dana did my first tattoo ever and he was amazing. He made the process quick and easy and while it was not painless (how can a tattoo be painless?), it was better because of him. I drove from Essex, VT to see him because he did my mom's cover-up and did an incredible job. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone. The picture of the tattoo is the same day I got it after I washed it the first time. Read Less

Got one of the best tattoos I've ever seen by Danna. It's a total work of art. Very professional and clean environment. Everyone's really nice and love what they do. If you want a kick ass tattoo go to scorpions Read Less

Scorpion Tattooing delivers more then anyone else. This is a great place. The owners are not only very nice to talk to, but also some of the most interesting individuals I have met. They know their staff so well, recommending an artist to fit your needs is what impressed me so much. Dana was my artist and I was able to give him my ideas about my tattoo which he took to the next level. Initially I went into the shop looking for something specific and the amount of time he put into my design was excellent. During my visit we had a great conversation and it was very enjoyable the whole time. I could not have a better experience. I am looking forward to my next session and working with the team over at Scorpion. Dana, Holly, Mark, you all are extremely professional and I enjoyed every minute being in your shop. Read Less

I brought in a single solid color art work, discussed some ideas with Gillian Goodwill, and what she came up with and executed was so amazingly better than what I could have imagined! She gave me my favorite of my 8 tattoos! Cant wait to see what she can do with my dragon sleeve! Highly recommend her and Scorpion! Read Less

Ever since I started coming here about over a year ago I've loved my experience here every time. All of the artists and owners are so nice and make you feel so welcome and awesome about getting your tattoos. I 100% recommend. Read Less

A big thank You to Ethan at scorpion tattoo for his patience getting my tattoo just right. He had to really Work hard at getting my lettering just right because it had a curved font and it was on an uneven part of my arm. It came out amazing in the end as usual. Scorpion tattoo is the place to go for perfection at a reasonable price. Read Less

Awesome work! My tattoo artist was warm and friendly, made sure I was comfortable, and did an amazing work of art! The owner was also very friendly and hooked me up with some scorpion tattoo swag. Will definitely be returning. Read Less

I notice most of these reviews are old so I can only guess that Scorpion has improved over the years or got better artists. No one has ever been rude to us. We always see Neon and her work is beautiful. She is super nice and works with us to make sure the tattoos are exactly what we want. I would definitely  recommend this shop and I have been to quite a few over the years Read Less

Best place ever!I have always had a hard time finding a tattoo shop I was comfortable at. But luckily I stumbled across scorpion because it's now my forever shop I've gotten tattoos from a couple people there (my absolute favorite is Jesse! He does amazing colors that heal well and stay bold!)They are friendly, professional and talented. They really care about the art, and they care about the customer. I mean I go there with weirddddd ideas, or no ideas, and Jesse always knows what to do. I'm gonna keep getting inked at scorpion until they kick me out Read Less

Stopped in for a walk in tattoo today after comparing multiple tattoo shops, websites, photos, reviews and many phone calls. Had Ethan do a scorpion tattoo on my husband. He worked with our design we came with, was friendly, welcoming and professional. Establishment was very clean and organized. Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend more! In fact, I am going back tomorrow to get a tattoo, too! Read Less

Extremely dissapointed that your shop condones the stealing of other tattooists designs. Alexadra fische designed an adorable cupcake CUSTOM for a client in her PA shop. Your artist, Rebekah decided to tattoo that exact design  (and I do mean EXACT- it wasn't altered at all ) on her client. and yes, in Rebeka's IG account, she admits she KNEW it wasn't her design, but Alexandra's. How awful for the client that paid Alexandra for a custom design to now have it tattooed on someone else. Unbelievable. I'm spreading the word for people to avoid your shop at all cost. No Honor.

I had been thinking about getting the yin and yang symbol tattooed on the back of my hand for a long time.  I was a judge for many years and I remember a witness saying that she used her symbolic tattoos as a way to pause and reflect on her life and moments of her life. Well, I made an appointment at Scorpion Tattoo in Derry yesterday and a young artist, Nick, did a wonderful job making me feel at ease as he did a beautiful job with the Yin and Yang design I brought in. I love the shop!  Hollie and Mark, who own and manage Scorpion talked with me in the comfortable waiting area (great couches) and they visited with clients and friends who stopped by while I was waiting.  Thank you Hollie, Mark and Nick, this was important to me, you knew it, and you are all wonderful.  I will be back!

Awesome place, my artist was and is Jesse. He is very professional and does fantastic work. I have had him do 4 different tattoos, 2 of these are cover ups, re-due 2 that were 15 to 22 years old and the look better than the originals. They charge by the hour which is the best way to go, my first tattoo were by the piece and the artist rushed through them. Jesse takes his time, does it right and charges you for the actual tattooing time, not setup, or ant down time. My tattoo were hundreds less that what they would have cost as per piece prices. There are people complaining that they did not get greeted right away. If you artist is doing work on you, there are times when they cannot just stop. they have to have the right moment in the process that they can stop or else you can end up with an issue with your tattoo. These people earn a living tattooing, they do not make a living sitting in the lobby waiting on people. Tattooing takes time, if you are in that big of a rush then you will not be happy at any parlor who does quality work.Check out their Facebook page for more samples of each artists work facebook.com/scorpiontat…, or their website.scorpiontattooing.com Read Less

I went in here looking for help with a cover up. I was hoping to cover an old tat with some colorful mushrooms. I was told that the only thing that would cover it was solid black. The options he offered were an eight ball and the grim reaper.I'm glad I got a second opinion from FTP Ink. Chris did a beautiful, colorful piece that covers beautifully. Scorpion has a very old school approach, and the staff wasn't terribly friendly. Read Less

I had been planning to cover up an older existing tattoo for years and finally decided to do it this year for my 30th birthday gift to myself. I did some extensive research over the past couple of years preparing what I was looking to achieve in the design. I reviewed 100's of profiles of artists all over the NH area and was sold once I saw Jesse's work. I came in on Saturday and was back in on Sunday to see what Jesse had come up with and to get tattooed. He was incredible to work with and his creativity brought my design to a whole other level. I am ecstatic with the outcome and would definitely go back to him again with any other tattoo I decide to get. Everyone in the shop were very nice and welcoming. I met Holly (one of the owners) and she was very good to talk to. She calmed my nerves when I first got to the shop the day of the actual tattoo. Awesome lady to talk to. I met Neon as well and saw some of her work. She is also an incredible artist. In fact all of their artists are incredible. I highly recommend Scorpion tattoo as a whole to anyone and I recommend Jesse as my artist of choice. Read Less

I came here after some extensive research for my first tattoo. After receiving a friendly initial greeting I met with Jesse and we discussed what I wanted. They were booked that day so I made an appointment and came back. The design he showed me was a little different than what I had in mind, but I decided to go with it. I'm so glad I did because the tattoo looks amazing! The session also went over what he estimated, but he still charged me a fair price. I will definitely be going back to Jesse for any future work and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a tattoo. The only thing I would offer to prevent disappointment is that if you are dead set on a particular design and want it done no questions asked, you might want to look elsewhere. These folks are frankly not going to let something walk out the door unless they feel comfortable with it. So, if you're looking for an artist who can create something amazing, go to Scorpion. If you're looking for someone to act as a human printer, you might want to go elsewhere. Read Less

The space looked nice, they had several artists books available for viewing. Unfortunately no one ever came to the front desk to greet us. After waiting 10 minutes someone finally did come to the desk, looked at us and walked right by to the front door. After that I was all set on going somewhere else. I understand they can be busy but they should at least greet potential customers and tell them they are busy. We finally walked out and were never asked by the employee standing by the door if we needed any help. I guess they are doing really well and don't need any new business. Read Less

Pretty much laughed out of the place. Came in with a very simple design and needed a little help executing it -- nope. The guy who greeted me was a complete tool and wouldn't give me the time of day. Woke up that day thinking I was finally going to get my tattoo, only to realize that no one would help me. I'll be finding someone else to do the job while these guys figure out how they should greet their fucking customers. Read Less

My first experience with Scopion was about 7 years ago when I went there for my very first tattoo. Being young and overly excited, I looked past the fact the guy walked right by me standing at the counter to go outside to smoke a cigg before even greeting me. Tattoo was simple. Artist warmed up after starting. Did a good job. Paid. Left.Second experience was about 4 years ago. Again, simple enough design on my thigh.  The guy who did it (don't even remember his name) basically gave off the "This isn't an elaborate $ maker so its a waste of my time" attitude. Tattoo results = not what I asked for. Outline bled. All black tattoo and it isn't even the same shade on part of it. AWFUL! Totally ruined my desire to ever get one again. I finally just found another tattoo artist who i trust enough to have fix it. I've heard many people say if Tyler isn't doing it, don't even bother. Read Less

I walked in one day because I was in New Hampshire and bored and honestly- why not get another tattoo. I gave my idea to Frankie who had it drawn up in about 20 minutes and then we were on our way.This place is clean, they play good music and the staff is very entertaining and good at what they do. The colors are amazing and I'm being complimented on this piece almost daily. Read Less

I have never had a tattoo before and I was very picky on where I wanted to go for my first time. My friends had actually been there a few weeks prior to me going, and they said the place was great, prices were good, and they were clean. The day I went in, I showed a rough idea on what I wanted from google. What the artist came back with was way better than I could ever imagine being. It was PERFECT! He informed me when he was about to start the first line, and when he did my first reaction was "that was it"? Lol. Anyway, I would go back to get other tattoos done there. The guy who did my tattoo was Frankie, and he was awesome. He always asked me how I was doing, and would talk to me every now and then. I havent gotten a tattoo done by anyone else there, but I think I'm sticking to Frankie. Read Less

Gotta tell you, I know some people who recommend this place highly, and their work looks good.  Of course they got sleeves that cost thousands. When it comes to a tattoo costing a couple hundred bucks, they are lazy.  I've shopped around for tattoos multiple times, I know the "GTFO" look and the lazy "MEHHHH" attitude.  My girlfriend wanted a tattoo on her foot of a compass, it was an intricate compass, not just something simple, but obviously it couldn't be too huge, and coloring wasn't necessary, just shading,etc.  We didn't say we were expecting to pay a certain price, we didn't talk price.  We already had it drawn up and on a file on her phone.  This young kid concedes to an old timer, he comes out and goes "Well I mean you should come back with it actually drawn up, because it'll take me an hour or two to draw that, and I charge 25 bucks an hour, so a 100-200 dollar tattoo will cost 50 more than it needs to".   I've drawn all my tattoos, I have sketchbooks full of more I'd like to get too.  Every artist who has done them, takes the tattoo because they like the drawing and I've gotten charged very little for big peices taking hours to tattoo.  But, they took me about an hour to draw, if that.  Drawing a tattoo like this on transfer paper doesn't take an hour.  Get over yourself. So that was his first "GTFO" line.  I know how tattoo shops work, they are freelance much of the time and the shop gets a cut, I have friends and acquaintances in the business who are incredibly talented.  I mean, Dragons Lair Tattoo (now Shogun in Salem NH) did a simple tattoo for me for 60 bucks, and that was the owner .  This is an hour tattoo at the most.  And there was no one in the place, why not take the business? I offered to e-mail the file to the guy, or he could just print a compass off google image search and draw in whatever she wanted.  He literally, looked at me and didn't answer, then kept going on about how he'd charge more for drawing it.  It was like he didn't understand what a computer was...It's like an engineer that still hand draws on graph paper on a drafting table, obsolete. So we went to the new satellite store of Waynes Tattoo, FTP tattoo, on East Broadway in Derry.  He went on Google Image search, within five minutes they chose a compass to work off of, He drew it up, charged 100 bucks total, had it done in 45 minutes, and said "Come back in a few weeks, I'll see if you need any touchups and make sure it healed okay."We got his e-mail and he found her on Facebook so she could get a hold of him easier.  We live across the street from the shop...so it couldn't be much more convenient.  He was so great, my girlfriend gave him a 40 dollar tip. She couldn't be any happier.  We found out after, he used to work at Scorpions apparently.   Apparently he didn't enjoy them much either.  hahaha.  I gave them two stars because I have seen work they do and it is good, but they are elitist A-holes for no apparent reason.  You're not on Miami Ink, you're in a hole in the wall between Enterprise and a Sub shop in Derry NH...get over yourself. If you can't adapt with the times, GTFO of the business.  They lost a lot of potential future business for the shop and the artist with their laziness.  I was looking for myself as well, for a shop locally that is personable and have a certain style to replicate my drawings into a tattoo, possibly offer a unique perspective of their own as well.  They are not that shop.

Greeted by a guy who insulted us when he thought we were outside of "hearing range", then the "artist" who consulted with us was a condescending hipster who couldn't give us an accurate price range ($250 to $500 is a pretty broad spectrum). Overall bad vibe. All set. Won't be back. Read Less

Clean, professional, and high quality work is what this place boasts. I was referred here by a friend, and the artist I chose, Tyler Malek, was very professional. He  was prompt to get back to me, and captured the vision for my tattoo perfectly. I was able to sit in on another person's session, and I was impressed with his clean and comfortable his studio was! When it came time for me to be tatted (it was my first tattoo, and spanned across a good amount of  my right side), he let me know what to expect, and made the whole experience very comfortable for me. Their prices are amazing for their custom work; it's worth every penny to be tattooed by a talented artist who works in a clean and safe environment. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for tattoos, and guaranteed I will only be going back here for future work. Read Less
