Tooth And Nail Tattoo

Michelle has done two good size arm tattoos for me, as well as a small quote. Her attention to detail is amazing, and it’s crazy how quick she can draw something up. Easy to work with and personable too.
Courtney (owner), Jay, and Kyle are also amazing artists. I wish I had the money and room to get things done with each of them as well. The shop is clean, all artists are masters at their craft, and you can just tell how much they care about their work and customers. I am definitely coming back again and recommend this shop all the time.

Court has created an environment that is fun, welcoming and well run. I've been tattooed by her as well as guest artists and have seen this business grow over the years. The shop is always kept clean and each artist is organized and skilled in their styles. I cant recommend this shop enough ♡ tattoo pictured by Court Mello

I went here twice to get tattooed by Court. Once was a small minimalist wave tattoo; the other was a larger, more intricate magnolia flower. It is hands-down my favorite tattoo I have ever got. It is absolutely gorgeous, and it was a great experience. (The shop has a really cool vibe, we watched “Dark Tourist” while she tattooed me, and Court is honestly just an all-around awesome human.)

And all of the other artists working at Tooth & Nail are insanely talented too!

Courtney and her team at Tooth and Nail Tattoo are some of the most talented individuals I had the pleasure of meeting and getting tattooed by. Courtney's team responded to my tattoo request promptly and set up a consultation that best fit with my schedule. Courtney, who happens to be the owner, was very attentive to every detail within my overall concept. The biggest challenge was where I wanted the placement of this tattoo. I unfortunately have slightly bowed lower legs which, as you can imagine, made placing this tattoo even that much more difficult. However, that did not detour her, rather, Courtney was more determined to make sure the placement was not only anatomically correct but went with the natural curvature of my lower leg. She even consulted with a team member to make sure the placement looked appropriate, which I appreciated as well. During the actual session, the atmosphere was fun yet relaxing and honestly, it was overall a fun time! I felt like I was "hanging out" with friends rather than getting tatooed. I cannot wait to get my next tattoo done by Courtney and to visit the staff at the shop again!

Always a great experience here. Definitely the best tattoo shop around. Court is incredibly talented!

Best shop in the world , Courtney, Michelle, Kyle and Jay are some of the nicest people who put out work that’s equally as nice and beautiful as them 🥰

I can't say enough about how much I love coming to Court for my tattoos. I've been getting tattooed by her since 2016 and am continually impressed by the ways she perfectly translates my half formed ideas into beautiful pieces of art. Her attention to detail is second to none. The shop has a very relaxed atmosphere as well.

This is one of the coolest tattoo shops I’ve ever been too! All the artists there are awesome!! They’re all extremely friendly and do amazing work! I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Michelle (@rightinthetrash) and she was phenomenal! 10/10 would recommend any of the the tattoo artists there! Can’t wait to go back! 😁

Courtney did a large tattoo for me and it’s so so good. She’s a class act and a true professional. I would highly recommend her or any of the other artist at Tooth and Nail.

Amazing shop, woman owned and operated, the most respectful and talented place in Connecticut! Owner stands up for what is right and refuses racist customers. We love a shop with discretion and dignity.
