Nick is an amazing piercer - incredibly professional, patient, and skilled, with an immaculate set up. I highly recommend Nick and Dark Harbor Tattoo!

I had a few ear piercings done by Nick and my only regret was that I haven't gotten ALL my piercings done by him! He was incredibly professional, friendly, and his attention to detail was impeccable. I think he spent a good 15 minutes making sure that my second holes were symmetrical. I cannot recommend him enough for piercings! I will 100% be going back for more.

Mike did matching sister tattoos on me and 2 of my sisters. He was awesome! Very professional; exceptional work! We were amazed at how quickly he worked. We truly appreciate him squeezing us in...we can see why he’s so busy!! The studio space is great and very clean. We love our tattoos!

Labor Day Weekend my friend and I booked a weekend in Portland. We reached out via Yelp to Dark Harbor Tattoo and within minutes we had a response. Amazing customer service. Our experience only got better when we met Joshua. Joshua not only made us feel comfortable and relaxed he put such amazing energy in the the two pieces he did for us. Mine personally he took our conversation about me being a Leo while he was doing my friends piece and incorporated it into the creation of my piece. I originally went in with the intention of getting the script " be fearlessly authentic" but Joshua drew out and amazing Lions tooth kind of like a rabbits foot but personally designed for me. It sit right above my Leo sign on my arm. He took a basic script and made it personal to me. Not only will I be back to this establishment I will continue to refer those looking to get a tattoo while also visiting again myself. Thank you again Dark Harbor Tattoo for your amazing atmosphere and energy! And another thank you to Joshua for creating one of my favorite pieces on my body!

I had such a phenomenal experience working with Stephanie at Dark Harbor Tattoo Society. Last November I underwent a preventative double mastectomy after I found out I was high risk for breast cancer. I knew that I would need reconstruction including tattoo work. This is a deeply personal, emotional, and intimate process that you need to feel 100% comfortable with your tattoo artist and Stephanie completely exceeded my expectations. I could have gotten my tattoos done in Boston where I live, but I went out of my way to Portland for Stephanie specifically. Her warm personality, patience, and impeccable attention to detail is unparalleled. I had two sessions with her, each several hours, and I can confidently say as someone who had a 12 hour surgery, those hours with Stephanie, talking, and relaxing, were some of the better parts of my mastectomy journey. Even between sessions, she was super responsive to my questions and concerns about healing, reassuring me that we'll find the best solutions to my specific needs. Stephanie also took amazing care of me, as reconstructed breasts have nerve sensitivity, she always communicated about my numbing and any sensation. While she provides other services, I can't recommend her enough for any breast cancer previvors/survivors. Thank you for making me a whole, Stephanie & DHTS <3

I loved my visit to Dark Harbor! My artist was Sam & she generously squeezed me into her schedule after a mix up with another tattoo shop in town. I was visiting from out of town & only had a few days to get tattooed before leaving. It worked out for the best! Sam was wonderful to chat with & her tattoo work is stunning! Loving my little lighthouse to remember my first trip to Maine!

Went to get my nose pierced last minute, not knowing the shop was going to close ten minutes after I came in, the piercer, Nick, still sat me down and pierced my nose. Outstanding customer service, pretty much painless, he talked me through everything on how to properly take care of it. Received contact info if I had any questions or concerns, by far the best customer service I’ve received from a tattoo shop. The shop itself was pretty cool, and pricing was decent. Definitely will be coming back for another piercing!!! Thanks nick!

Nick was amazing, super professional, and made me feel so comfortable! I had my nose pierced and it was an easy and positive experience. Everything was explained to me very clearly and the space was very clean. Nick also made it clear that he would be available for any questions I might have weeks after the piercing. Amazing experience!

I’ve gotten multiple piercings done with Nick and can’t stress enough that he is the best piercer. He is so professional, informational and cares about the health of his clients. He takes time to make the piercing placement perfect and explains every step. Everything he uses is completely sterile and only used once. He's the best. GET YOUR PIERCINGS DONE HERE!!!!! :)

When Jared posted that he had a cancellation and was looking to fill time this afternoon I jumped on the opportunity. I’m so glad I did! Not only do I love my new ink, but I had a great experience. Jared was super friendly and easy to talk to and made sure I was comfortable and taken care of during my appointment. Highly recommend him!
