If you’re looking for a clean, professional shop with talented artists that breaks all stigmas of your stereotypical tattoo shop, then look no further than Black Hatchet. They offer a wide variety of styles to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for.

Best tattoo shop in CT! Artists are incredibly talented, the owners are amazing, down to earth, and professional. The shop is a comfortable and very safe atmosphere to be tattooed. They welcome you like family and give you the best experience possible. My husband and I have gotten all of our tattoos there and it is the only place we will go!

I’ve gotten two tattoos from Lex so far. I gave her rough ideas on what I wanted and she blew my expectations out of the water. This place is incredibly welcoming, professional, organized, and clean. Highly recommend.

I was originally referred by a friend to Black Hatchet Tattoos, formally Painted Soul Tattoos. I was looking to have a large, black and white, piece done on my back. Ricky Borchert, was top-notch from the beginning. I gave him my ideas and images for the piece and he worked to create something I would love. His craft, customer service, and thoughtfulness exceeded my expectations. I left with a piece that was better than anything I could have come up with. Since the original piece, I have gone back for several other portrait pieces, and am looking to go back for more!!

Aside from Ricky’s individual work, the shop itself is 5 stars all the way. It’s a clean, welcoming, professional space if you’re looking to get some quality work done. I am north of Boston, it takes me about 3 hours to get there, but it is worth the drive!

I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. The shop is very clean and has a really cool atmosphere. The downstairs tattoo area has an open concept with tv monitors all around. The crew play movies and engage in banter with one another -it's very entertaining. From what I saw, everyone does phenomenal work. My artist was Bryan Aponte. He truly is a master of the craft. I am beyond satisfied with the way my tattoo came out. It is one of the most realistic tattoos I've ever seen -I get compliments on it all the time. Truly a great experience in every aspect. You won't be disappointed.

Black Hatchet Tattoo Co was by far one of the best shops I've visited. Brand new re-vamped lobby and tattoo stations. Ricky and his crew were beyond professional during my first 2 sittings in the shop. During these unprecedented times the shop is following all safety precautions and then some. And the art speaks for itself. If you're in CT and want tattoo, this is the shop to hit!

I have been getting tattooed by these amazingly talented artists with the rest of my family for years. The atmosphere is incredible and they do a great job of making you feel comfortable and welcome... which is so important. The artwork is so beautiful and the passion they have for it is so inspiring! 100% would recommend Black Hatchet and any of the outstanding artists!

I also want to add how great my experience was with Ela! I had lash extensions done by her for months. Upon removal I had a lift and tint and loved it. She does such a great job. She really knows her stuff. She is prompt, informative and very clean. She always checks in with you the day after your appointment to make sure everything is going well. I didn’t have any damage to my lashes even after months of the extensions. I would highly recommend Ela for all of your lash needs! She will get more of my business in the future

Ricky has done 2 of my pieces and they both look great! Im going back soon to get another piece done. The shop Is super clean. I never worry about that. There staff is very professional and they use each others ideas to create the best art possible. They listen to you and take into consideration everything you say they know the art means something to you and want it to look the best it can. Also are very knowledgeable about aftercare to keep the tattoo looking amazing!!!

I’ve seen Bryan 3 times so far with another appointment scheduled. I get stopped all the time for people to look at his work. Not only are the artists talented, but this is the cleanest, most comfortable, professional shop I have ever been in. I recommended them to everyone and I would wait any amount of time for my appointment because I always leave the shop extremely happy and I can count on and amazing piece. I’m on my way to becoming a regular! ....and they’re worth every penny.

I’ve gotten all 3 of my tattoos here, my first was with Ricky and my other two were with Lex. They are so great, very clean and professional, and competitive pricing. Highly recommend! Oh, also, one of the tattoos I came in with a picture and wanted something exactly like that, the other two I knew what I wanted and they created the drawings for me.
