What locals say about New Britain tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in New Britain.
“I work at a restaurant just down the road from this shop, and a little over a year ago I called to see if anyone had time for a small walk in memorial piece for my dad. I got connected with Kris and came in that day. The shop itself is super clean and well-designed, and everyone there was really friendly and welcoming. While I was there, I noticed some of Kris’s artwork on the wall that really matched my style. So when I started thinking about my next tattoo, I came back and booked an appointment with her. We came up with a really awesome idea together, and she executed it perfectly. Most recently, I went back for the biggest piece I’ve gotten so far. She did the side of my head. I gave her the freedom to come up with something cool, and the design she created blew me away. The final piece honestly exceeded my expectations in the best way possible. I’ve trusted her with meaningful work and spontaneous ideas, and every time she delivers something better than I imagined. On top of all that, some of the artists from the shop come into my restaurant now and then, which is really cool to see. It’s great when local businesses support each other like that. Highly recommend this shop and especially Kris. She’s insanely talented, easy to work with, and super communicative throughout the whole process.”
“Flying Tiger is the BEST!! I brought my little sister here to get her belly button pierced because I had mine done by Jason and absolutely LOVED the experience—and this time was just as amazing!! Jason is so friendly and chill, and he made my sister feel totally at ease (even though she was a little nervous at first). Her piercing looks SO good—she’s obsessed with it! We seriously had the best time. If you’re thinking about getting a piercing, RUN to Flying Tiger!!”
