Providence Tattoo

I came to see Amy to get my Grammy’s handwriting tattooed on my arm. She was so kind and worked with me really well. She helped me decide the best place to place it and kindly explained why the place I wanted originally may not make me as happy as I thought it would. I’m so happy with the outcome and I will be returning.

I have also been tattooed by TJ for a walk-in visit. He was so kind and professional. His work is great and I appreciated his advice on location, as well. His dot work is amazing and I love my tattoo so much.

Thank you both. 💜

Jon Gorman did and amazing job and was extremely detail oriented and made sure I was 100% happy with placement, size, etc. A pleasure to work with and I usually only only have female/queer people tattoo me. I was 100% comfortable and heard in his space. Cannot recommend enough.

Every artist is absolutely amazing!! I’ve gotten a small script tattoo from TJ that has healed great, and I recently got some beautiful lilies done by Amy. They are so friendly and caring here. I would recommend this shop to anyone!

Dean did a piece on the back of my arm.Came out exactly how I wanted, very clean place, nice artists, and good work! Will definitely be back!

Very clean shop. Good prices. The artist I worked with (TJ) was very straightforward and honest, which is exactly what I look for in someone who is doing permanent work on my body. He discussed with me the piece I wanted, and how it would do aging, & aftercare for it. My roommate got work done in their Wickenden location, so I can say that both shops are 10/10. Definitely coming back :)

Went in as a walk-in and left within an hour. Both guys were very welcoming and I felt very comfortable. Forrest did my tattoo on my ribs and I am more than happy with it. Awesome job

The worst place to get a tattoo. They charge me 120 for a tattoo that should cost 60 and the guy took a advantage that it was my first time and the tattoo that he did wasn’t professional. I went to get my second tattoo at The Torchbearer Tattoo on Westminster and I was so impressed with the results and the price and the service I received.

My experience with Providence Tattoo was the first time I ever encountered really terrible customer service and unprofessionalism in a business.
A little over a month ago me and my best friend planned to get a tattoo. We went to Providence Tattoo thinking it was as good as its looks and as good as its good reviews. On November 8th We went for a walk-in, and Christian took us from there. We showed him what we wanted, talked about prices, sizing, his portfolio, and left telling him we would think about it. After me and my friend talked about it, we sent him an email the next day saying we really wanted to work with him but the pricing was scaring us away. He told us he could work on a design within our budget and we agreed. November 15th we go back to the shop to give our deposit of $60 and talk more in detail about what we wanted designed. We sent him reference pictures and also set the date that we wanted to get the tattoo done, on DECEMBER 20th. He said he would contact us through text so that we didn’t have to come in to see the design. On November 29th the following week my friend went to check the design, and the tattooist had a rough draft which wasn’t what he was looking for, so he gave him more detail and talked about what he really wanted to see. As for me he only showed me a collage/cropped pictures from the reference photos that I sent him. This was okay since it had been only a week. He said he would keep working on it and that was fine with us. Exactly a week later...December 6th we both go back to the shop to see any new updates.. well to my surprise he hasn’t made any progress on mine at all. So my visit was useless. Because I didn’t see any work put in yet I started getting concerned. My friend’s tattoo was an unfinished draft but still wasn’t what he was looking for. So again he gave him a detailed explanation of what it would look like finished. From this day onwards he had two weeks to show us a finalized draft since the appointed day was DECEMBER 20th. DECEMBER 10th my friend asked him through Instagram whether he had any updates since we could not go into the shop because we were in final exams.. well he left him on READ, no answer, no nothing. Friday, DECEMBER 13th my friend asks again, “can we try to come in and look at the design since we are a week away from getting it ?” Christian answers saying he would send us the design THE SAME NIGHT.. guess what? He didn’t. Two days later(SUNDAY) my friend texts AGAIN feeling bad about it, apologizing for bothering him and asking if he had any updates on our tattoos.. well christian answers a day later saying sorry he was busy and hasn’t forgotten about us and that he would send a design that day… still, we waited all day and got nothing. OKAY well it’s less than a week until we were supposed to get our tattoos. At this point we were getting really nervous and did not trust Christian. We were taking this very seriously since the beginning but as the weeks went by we did not see the same level of seriousness and importance from him. It felt as if we were bothering him.

WELCOME: Greeted by telephone & in person by courteous receptionist. Tattoo artist/owner is kind & professional.
SATISFIED: Proper cleanliness was maintained. The tattoo is lovely & the experience meaningful. I am grateful. I highly recommend this shop.

I have been several times and will continue to go back. Excellent experience from start to finish every time, every artist is great and Dennis is one of the most talented, professional, and well educated tattooers I have ever met. Highly recommend.
