Wayback Tattoo Studio

I went in for a black point Judith lighthouse tattoo. The tattoo artist Russ started off with drawing the tattoo up and printed out multiple sizes of the stencil, he was very nice and patient. Once we found what location looked best he got started on this perfect tattoo. He has very light hands. He has a very clean work environment and asked me numerous time if I needed a break or wanted time to breath. Overall my tattoo experience was perfect I will be going back to Russ for all of my tattoo needs.

I walked in here asking a lady about an appraisal for some work. Not even a minute goes by some dude in the back yells "there's no way to give you an estimate on anything"!!! Completely rude towards me when i wasn't even talking to him to begin with 😡 I wouldn't recommend, I'd give half a star if I could, but the lady was cool to me so....you don't interrupt someone when they're not talking you you!

The new owner, Russ, is incredibly talented—I really enjoy both his work and his company. He takes your vision and makes it 100x better. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

I had an amazing experience with Russ at Wayback Tattoo! From start to finish, he was professional, welcoming, and incredibly talented. He really took the time to understand what I wanted and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. His attention to detail and steady hand made me feel completely confident throughout the entire process. The studio was clean and had a relaxed, creative vibe, which made the whole experience even better. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo—thank you, Russ! Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work and a great artist.

Lovely environment and sweet artists! Russ and Ashley both create wonderful work:) 10/10 recommend!

Called for a walk in on a whim for a tattoo they both were no nonsense and very knowledgeable immediately made me comfortable worked with my tattoo idea gave me some honest feedback and gave me a dope tattoo love the way it came out and they gave me a GOOD price for a GREAT tattoo 10/10 if I could. I’m mad I don’t live here so I can’t get the rest of mine done that I wanna do if you are getting a tattoo done in this area your dumb if you pass this place up. Great hang after that tattoo and hooked me up with a touch up on a previous tattoo great no nonsense customer interaction with that special kind of Rhode Island love. See you guys when I come back next year and thanks for being the first place I’ve ever wanted to leave a google review on

Paul has been working on my sleeve. And all I get is awesome compliments. I need to have a couple of more areas taken care of and i'm all excited. Please go talk to, Paul and see for yourself. You will be very happy.

Tattooed by Aimee who is amazing! Captured my vision perfectly and did an outstanding job!
