Not where I've usually gone in RI for my tattoos but I'm so glad I came across Bret and his studio. Friendliest and most down to earth guy. Extremely clean & professional place and he's willing to work with you to get exactly what you want. 100% will be going back Read Less

Booked an appointment a few weeks before, for when I was scheduled to be in town for a family. Three of us, all wanting our first tattoo. I called Captain Bret, we set an appointment, and started discussing designing a 3" watercolor floral tattoo. We had a great experience from start to finish. A few adjustments to the original design and Captain Bret was not only a pleasure to work with but his work is beautiful. He's a very thoughtful artist and is committed to you having a great experience. The shop is very well maintained, and the Captain is very hygienic in his process. Reasonable pricing, easy to deal with.Home run! Read Less

Nothing short of fantastic.My wife and I went on a recent trip. We both got new tattoos. Brett was real artist he did a fantastic job and both mine and my wife's tattoo. He took time and care to give us exactly what we wanted.The best thing about Brett is that he finished the work he started.  We thank you so much and will see you next time we are in New Port!

My wife and I were in Newport for the weekend and decided to get tattoos for our anniversary gift to each other. We picked Captain Bret based on the fact he was close to our hotel... so glad we did! He was extremely professional, great conversationalist, very hygienic and clean (he and the shop) and I was surprised at the reasonableness of the pricing! I will be back! Read Less

Got Tattoos while on vacation in Newport. Captain Bret stayed late for us which was super nice of him, and the work was great, highly recommended. Also no young kids working at the shop,,, we got work done by the Captain himself. Read Less

Have been going to Captain Bret for almost 20 years now... His work is amazing! At this point he's done about half my back, one full sleeve and we just started on the second. Bret takes the time to get your design right. He's not shy to recommend alterations to improve positioning and aesthetics. The shop is clean and he does quick, accurate work. If you want a tattoo done right, go to Captain Bret... you won't regret it. Read Less

Did a huge 14" Celtic trinity knot custom piece for my back, it's my first tattoo. Got it on 9/14/16, it's beautiful, nothing but compliments on it too, even from those who couldn't believe I got it done. It was at least a 6 hr session and Captain Bret powered through it and made sure I was holding up alright. Awesome tattoos, awesome artist, awesome dude and some excellent stories. Read Less

What a great experience for my daughter, and for me. Because she was nervous she had a hard time articulating what she was looking for. But Bret got it, made her feel at ease, and created exactly what she wanted. I was so pleased I got one (a different design) too. We talked a bit and he gave me the perfect starfish. Bret was professional, personable and talented. Super clean studio and, unlike the other 2 I had work done at, no head banging or gangsta music. Read Less

Capt. Brett did a phenominal job with a real basket case drawing of a mystic cross. We were able to add a Celtic twist to it. Came out great and am thrilled with it. Thank you Capt. for a job very well done. D. Shea Read Less

Six weeks ago I was looking for a custom tribal piece and Captain Bret captured my vision. He worked with me to determine the ideas that I wanted to see in the tattoo. He is friendly and his work is truly art. I wasn't disappointed and you won't be either. The shop is clean, hygienic, and made me feel very comfortable.I followed the aftercare instructions and the tattoo healed with very minimal scabbing.He also looks after the military and will give you a discount!Thanks Bret! I will always remember this trip to Newport!! Read Less

Captain Bret is the best!! I have several tattoos by him the last one was a beautiful water color mermaid!! He can do it all!! Renowned for his celtic work he is also fantasic at nautical, tribal and traditional style tattoos. Check him out Newport ri !! Read Less

Really nice guy who treats his customers with such respect. I got my first tattoo from Bret and he made me and my friend feel very comfortable. The only thing that I was surprised about was that he didn't tell us much about the aftercare...? Maybe it's because the size of the tattoo was so small, but still, I expected more of a list of does and donts and we didn't get one. Other than that, he was awesome and so nice!!! Read Less
