Vital Ink Tattoo

Love this place! Danny and the crew are awesome!

Got a tongue piercing from Chris, he’s amazing!! Definitely going back for more piercings.

Vital Ink Tattoo has some of the most amazing artists in the Seacoast area. I have been getting tattooed by Erik Hilliker for several years now and he is absolutely my artist of choice. What's great about him and Tom both is that if you go to them with ideas, they are so artistically inclined that they will take your tiniest speck of inspiration and make it into something so beautiful, you will be absolutely amazed. And if you ask them for something that is not necessarily their style or comfortable doing, they are more than happy to refer you out to a fellow artist. Neither do it for the money, they do it for the art, and their customers come first. A lot of tattoo artists forget that, I think. And I think also a lot of tattoo artists are not necessarily artists, it's more like they're just connecting dots. Go for a consult, look at their work, I doubt you'll be disappointed. Did I mention they're funny? Trust me when you're sitting in a chair getting tattooed for 3, 4, 5 hours.... you want to have a good time. And you can make fun of how short Tom is all the livelong day ;-) He's also a great hugger! I have to update this as my favorite piercer, Chris Rohrer is now there. If you want a piercing that is more art than jewelry, he's your man. And I'll end it by signing the praises of Savanna Battles. She is a gift from The Universe, that one. I'm blessed to have been able to be a canvas for art we created together. The hamsa hand and mandala are by Savanna, my ear which was a project done by Chris, and the last two are my favorite pieces by Erik.

Very nice experience! Made me feel very comfortable, super quick, and Chris was very experienced.

Vital Ink is amazing! Everyone there is so nice. They’re constantly asking if you need food or water and making sure you’re as comfortable as possible while getting your artwork or even just sitting in the waiting area. I got a tattoo from Candice and she’s super talented, amazing, and super nice! Also, the entire shop looks super clean and organized and has a fresh feel to it. I think I just found my forever tattoo shop 😊👍🏻

Amazing experience, very clean, very professional and my tattoo came out amazing. Very very straight lines Katie did a great job!

I got a tattoo from Danny and 3 piercings from Chris all of which turned out amazing! Everyone is super friendly and they do everything they can to make sure you’re comfortable and leave happy!! Highly recommend

Adding a review because I saw Eliza’s comment and was hoping my experience was a one off thing but it seems this is a continuous problem. I brought one friend here and had a great experience with Chris doing a septum piercing. He was very skilled, reassuring and I brought two more friends a month later. During my appointment with these friends he constantly flirted and made uncomfortable comments to “I shouldn’t say that, my wife doesn’t like when I flirt with my clients” to two 18 yr old girls. I understand an “edgy” joke gone wrong and making people a little uncomfortable but it was constant during the appt. Only leaving three stars cuz I don’t want to tear down the whole shop, everyone else I’ve met there but him seems great! But the piercer, Chris is not one I would recommend to any college girls/women around. I will not be returning for myself or recommending the piercing services to friends.

I had five butterflies on my foot. They came out amazing.

I’ve been pierced by Chris multiple times over the past five years, and have always had great experiences. Unfortunately, the experience I had yesterday left both myself and my friend feeling deeply uncomfortable, and neither of us will be returning. Yesterday I accompanied my friend while she was getting her ears pierced. During her appointment, Chris made multiple comments that made us incredibly uncomfortable–saying that the earrings I was wearing made him want to “tie me up”, hitting on my friend by profusely calling her “beautiful” and “gorgeous”, and joking that his job was so difficult because he sees so many “irresistible women” on a daily basis. Both of us were visibly uncomfortable, yet he continued to make these comments. TLDR: If you’re a woman, you may want to find a different piercer.

Chris is absolutely amazing! He made me feel so comfortable and took great care of me. Everyone at Vital Ink was so welcoming and I can’t wait to go back!

This shop was hopping and once you walk in you realize why. The shop was bright, welcoming, and comfortable. The piercer is honest and straightforward which I'm sure is why he is so busy. I will definitely be returning there for future piercings, and I will be recommending them to friends and family as well.

I keep coming back here, I've been here three times, each with different friends. I came here once with my friend for her first tattoo and then just recently I came for my second ear piercing in my lobe, and I just got matching tattoos with my other friend. Each time I came I had a different person helping me but everyone who has helped me has been fantastic. The tattoo I got was just a bit of line work but it was effortless and my friend and I were both very comfortable the entire time. Our tattoos are pretty new but we haven't experienced any itchyness, pain, or irritation, the process was very sanitary. We were also provided with water and snacks which was greatly appreciated. I loved it here and would definitely come back again

Both my piercer (Chris) and my tattoo artist (Tom) are out of Vital Ink and they are both absolutely incredible at what they do. I’ve had two larger pieces done by Tom and three piercings done by Chris and I can say without a doubt they are the best in the business (and incredible people in general). I have started to drag my friends in as well, and have 0 intent on stopping.

Terrific artists, fun time!

This was my second time coming in for a piercing here :) a couple weeks ago I got my septum done by Chris and had an amazing experience, so naturally when i spontaneously decided to have my nipples pierced I came right back. He was so professional and everything was so sterile and clean. I felt 100% comfortable and had an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about coming here for a piercing definitely do it :)

Chris is great!! He is very personable, puts you at ease, makes sure all your questions have been addressed, and you've answered all of his. You fill out a bit of standard paperwork, and then finally the finely finessed precision puncturing process proceeds. His passion for the job and commitment to customer service is clear. He wants you to be happy and listed a bunch of things he offers to ensure this, from jewelry exchange to cleaning to what I can only describe as a frequent piercee punch card, but without an actual card. What a neat idea! I went in for an industrial and septum piercing, and honestly I've been bitten by horseflies that hurt more. I don't know why, but I assume skill factors in. The guy clearly knows his stuff. The shop was clean and felt like a safe environment. I could see the sterilization process occurring as I waited my turn. I could not be happier and would not hesitate to return to Chris for maintenance or new holes. It is amazing the confidence metal through your body can inspire. It's nice to be who you want to be. I can't stop looking at myself in reflective surfaces. Should put a couple more mirrors in here so I can stare at myself... Have a good one!

Just had a vertical labret done! Thank you all for being awesome and the sweetest people!

Erik is awesome. Been seeing him for years

Chris did my bridge piercing here in October. I had a lot of trouble finding a shop to do it and one place recommended me to go here. Bridge piercings are tough ones but he helped me with everything. I am most impressed with his ability to take ‘criticism’, and help accommodate you to all your questions and needs. We spent 10 minutes just lining up the piercing so I could feel the best about the placement. I am very thankful I went to him! I never write reviews but this place deserves it. Steady and equitable environment with a good crew
