There is no one I trust more than Clae when it comes to making quality tattoos. His work is solid, fast, and he always works in a respectful and approachable manner. He listens to what you want, he will treat you with respect and kindness, and he holds no pretentiousness or attitude about his highly-regarded reputation and long history of awards. As a woman, these are really important qualities to me and I feel totally comfortable around him. Although I don't know the technicalities of the work, we have come up with some amazing ideas together - I can give him concepts and images and he comes back with the most unique and beautiful way to reflect that on skin. His style is personal and although some of my ideas for pieces have been pretty basic (birds & flowers), he's made them into works of art that I love to see more and more everyday. The shop is clean, full of fun artwork to look at and bustling with a crew of interesting and genuinely nice people. Read Less

Love, love, love this place. Clae is super professional and talented. He always guide me and suggest the best ideas. The studio is very clean and organize.

I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted, and left with the most stunning tattoo I've ever had. I get compliments from everyone. His work is simply gorgeous! I am lucky that I get to see it all over town now, and each person is thrilled with the work he has done for them. I can't recommend Clae enough. If you're local or planning to visit our Victorian Seaport, swing by and check out his work. It's all over the walls and will probably walk in while you're there! Read Less
