Field notes

What locals say about Portsmouth tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Portsmouth.

“I had an amazing experience getting tattooed here! From start to finish, Joey was incredibly professional, respectful of my budget, and made me feel completely at ease. The studio was clean and welcoming, and the whole process felt thoughtful and collaborative. I even drove over an hour just to come to this studio. I absolutely love the final result—it’s exactly what I envisioned. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work and a comfortable atmosphere!”
Candice Williams on GREG'S TATTOO'S LLC
“Steph did an amazing job on my tragus piercing. I’ll be back in 4 weeks to do the other ear! My only suggestion is that the “no children” sign be placed at the front door and within eye level. It is currently placed on a column by the front desk 8ft high.”
Claire L. Webster on World Famous Blue Horseshoe Tattoo and Piercing
