Arrows and Embers Custom Tattoo

usually don't write reviews but this time I will.
Sean from Arrows and Ambers in Concord, NH did a couple of my previews tattoos and recently i have asked him to just embellish an existing one and add one new. Unfortunately, my request was declined by him and the reason being the tattoo was too small for him to be bothered with. Very unprofessional and disappointing in my opinion since I thought I was a previous customer and there is nothing on the website citing "only big project" accepted.

This place is Top-notch!! Sean is my absolute favorite artist, Hans down!!!!

I found Arrows & Embers after doing an exhaustive search for someone new to do my second sleeve. I live in MA so I started by looking for artists that had been to multiple tattoo conventions in New England. Sean was on my short list of artists to meet having seen his name pop up in Boston and New Hampshire (where he placed first in men's and women's categories multiple times). I met with multiple people because it's important to me that the artist not only has technical skill but is a good person. Sean's portfolio speaks for itself, but he is by far the nicest, most down to earth, artistically sound professional I have ever met.

We met for a consultation and planned out something that I was really excited about. Multiple sessions later, I've ended up with a piece beyond what I hoped for. It is beautiful, detailed, vibrant, and looks like I have an oil painting draped around my arm.

I definitely look forward to collaborating with Sean again. Do yourself a favor and check him out. You'll probably have to wait a while before your first actual inking because his reputation has grown and the referrals keep coming in, but he's worth the wait. Would you rather have your permanent, life long piece done by someone with tons of availability, or a line of fans waiting out the door?

One of the best shops around by far. Everyone from the owner to all the employees (and even other clientele) are all extremely friendly and the shop boasts a great atmosphere, and incredibly talented artists, of course. Will Self is my artist as I lean towards Japenese styles and he must've been reborn as an artist 7 times, as his extensive knowledge on the art itself, and of course skill, is extraordinary and must be one of the best, if not already, top oriental style artists based out of NH. If this hasn't convinced you to get/finish your next piece get on their website and check out their extensive portfolios, Will also has an Insta with all his works, from start to finish as well.

Not only is Sean an amazing tattoo artist, Arrows and Embers has top notch customer service! What wonderful people! Seans tattoo and art skills are amazing, taking my flower photos and ideas I had and making them look even more beautiful on my arm! Will never get a tattoo anywhere else ever again!

About a month ago my wife and I had Sean "ink" us with our first tattoos. We waited five months for our appointment, and all we both can say is it was WELL worth the wait! Sean runs a clean operation. He's very friendly, and we both got to know him while he did the work he does so well. Sean has a unique creative side to him that we think shows when he does his work. We both had fairly simple tattoos done, but Sean did an AMAZING job. He captured EXACTLY what we wanted. The lettering he did for me tells the story of what I wanted. I wanted Celtic with a flair that looks modern but captures my heritage. My wife had her lettering done with some shading (that Sean suggested.) It looks amazing! Ladies if you are worried about have art done that has "fine lines" look no further, Sean is your artist! The lines on my wife's tattoo are clean and VERY crisp (mine too). One of the best things about Sean is when it's your time, he focuses on you, no one else. A CLEAR advantage to his shop is it’s a custom shop ONLY. Sean's instructions for the aftercare of our tattoos was spot-on. We've had no trouble with the healing. If anyone out there is looking for a tattoo artist, See SEAN!! It takes some time to see him and get your tattoo but trust (us) me, you have to wait because he's Good! Check out Arrows and Embers; you won't be disappointed. I can’t wait to contact Sean for my next tattoo.

Just started a full back tattoo with Will, I can’t say enough about Will and his tremendous knowledge and skills! My five year search for the best artist for me has ended! I have found my tattoo home! The entire shop is beautiful and clean, amazing friendly environment of expertise and down right cool people! I highly recommend Arrows and Embers!

So what can I say About Arrows & Embers? I can say that for about 10 years I had contemplated a tattoo. I wanted something that had a meaning and would be non offensive as I walked about the community. I had a pretty good Idea of the art I wanted. I reviewed several shops portfolio's on line. when I saw Sean Ambrose art I knew he had the ability to get the job done. I consulted with him in September of 2019 and set an appointment for April of 2020 (he is that booked out) . Then COVID! I will say that while disappointed at having to wait He called me and got me right in after they could open. The manner in which he walked me through the process (being my first tattoo) was awesome. I would recommend Arrows & Embers to any one looking for quality work with a great artist.

Sean is an amazing artist and he really takes his clienteles best interest into account.
I still remember him turning people away at the door because the person he was tattooing wasn't comfortable. To risk losing money for someone is so admirable.
He's the one and only artist I will go to for my works of art.

I got my first tattoo the day after my 18th birthday as a gift from my mom. My art teacher who is sleeved highly recommended him and I wouldn't have changed anything. Sean is beyond the definition of an artist, where he is not only talented on skin, but on paper, making drawings/paintings/anything made look like a photograph. He was so calming, clean and professional while giving my mom and I an extreme deal with a fairly detailed tattoo. I will always favor this place over every other tattoo shop I've been too and wish to go again! My only complaint (which is a complement in disguise) is that I wish he did walk ins and not have to go by appointments because I would only go to him! But I'll be back for him in the future!
