Darkside Tattoo

I would highly recommend Darkside very cool place everyone there is great . Nick is my artist he does awsome work

Very clean, friendly employees who give you great attention and advice. Love getting my tattoos there and all my piercings. Looking forward to my next appointment.

Got a great tattoo from Sean at Darkside. He was really friendly and also good at what he does. He has more that 20 years of experience and is a cool guy who charges a fair price. Come here in the winter if you are trying to get a tattoo from one of the snotty shops, these guys will help you right away and make sure you leave feeling satisfied!

I go to this place for all my "Glass" Needs! The staff have always been friendly, polite and Never Pushy! I come here for Jewelry, Humor Gifts and even bought a couple Christmas Goodies too! I count on them to have what I need and Glass Supplies as well as to see the Fantastic Local "Glass Art" they always have Plenty Of! It is nice to see a Local Business that Supports Local Artists!

Quick, very positive visit/piercing experience review with a lot of detail follows hereinbelow.

I needed to change a metal piece of jewelry to a nonmetal retainer for an upcoming MRI. I tried but couldn't do it myself. I needed a professional.

Now, I know from experience that it might be quick but would certainly fill a time slot. I know from experience that a piercer doesn't just randomly have spare time to talk to everyone who walks in with questions requiring a detailed answer. Hence, I wanted to SCHEDULE a time to consult, which might utilize a full time slot, and hoped to schedule a possibly adjoining appointment for the switch.

Great first impressions! The receptionist who'd initially booked my visit was VERY professional, at an uncluttered desk. She was quite friendly and got me right in. Then, we had had to reschedule due to an expected blizzard (that never came). I screwed up, arriving on the new day but old time (now three hours early). On this sunny Saturday, the piercer was booked until my new appointment time (for which I inadvertently double-booked). She looked at the schedule, but openings couldn't immediately jive with my own. Again: this was due to my own carelessness, so I couldn't be mad at all. I was, however, working around the MRI schedule. Knowing Darkside's reputation for high standards, I didn't want to risk a different shop. What to do... I didn't complain though I knew I would neef to reschedule the MRI with metal remaining in my ear. The receptionist kindly consulted with the piercer as to when I could reschedule, and they were able to, due to a cancellation, find an opening right near the time at which I'd inadvertently shown.

The piercer was friendly, warm, and professional. Her station was clean and had a door. (I don't know if this has become industry standard. As a former receptionist in a tattoo shop who'd heard tons of complaints about a mere curtain, this is a BIG plus in my opinion.) Since I still needed to switch the jewelry and had brought 6ga PTFE, which I though they might not stock and which I'd had the vendor autoclave, she was able to painlessly change a flatback, internally-threaded plug that hadn't budged for a good seven years.

She frankly answered my delicate (I hope!) questions, and I felt good about my trust in their reputation. I am delighted that this small business is WELL on its way back to the top!She also, after I showed her the two tattoos on my hand and wrist that Sean O'Hara, the owner, had done years earlier, brought Sean (from what I hope was a break and not a big interruption) to say Hi. While they are delicately executed, they are but a drop of water in his sea of hundreds (at least) of multi-visit customers getting multiple huge tattoos spanning a multi-decade career. Keeping in mind that I wasn't a memorably stunning woman when I first went to Darkside, I was thrilled with the genuine recognition in Sean's eyes.

Where my family used to live, businesses near the Center of the city - not even a smaller town like our current home - complained bitterly about the "threat" of a potential tattoo studio. The area surrounding, and clientele entering and leaving, were neat and the people certainly were polite and not what our former home feared would hurt their businesses. (Actually, families shopping fot Easter dinner were frequenting the family bakery within the same plaza, none of whom seemed to feel the need to shield the children!)

Darkside's ample parking is within a clean lot, and centrally located near the historical Town green. The kind of business / tattoo shop its neighbors would never contest. I honestly feel Darkside Tattoo is the kind of business towns should welcome because they offer the quality product and excellent service any municipality can boast. I am so glad my trust was on target.

Locals might remember some bumps over the years but baby: Darkside is back.

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, they are very clean, and have great artists/quality. Glad to finally find a reputable place for tattoos. Recommend!

I got my first tattoo here by Dave. He did an amazing job! He made me feel comfortable since I was super nervous. Definitely coming back for more.

I got my first tattoo last December. Dan did an amazing job. He help me through it step by step. It was a pleasant first tattoo experience.

Super clean, courteous, professional, great artist, they take extra steps to protect clients from covid-19, wear a mask it's a must, they take your temperature before your appointment, totally recommend them
