He creates something out of the pile of ideas I send him and never disappoints. He curates a welcoming and relaxing environment and doesn't fail to keep his hand relatively light and the experience short. It's all your own preference, but I never feel as though I am alone through the process, he has the ability to make conversation with a wall or just be the wall. I have first-hand seen him interact with unexpected costumers and been touched by how he can kindly answer questions that might seem obvious to others. I can't wait to work with him again. I just got a tattoo done today, but have added a picture of a memorial tattoo that he did for me a couple years back.

I 1000% recommend.

One of my piercings took over 10 minutes and he told me after he did the piercing that he usually tells people that he wouldn't do this piercing because it's so tough and that he had only done it on two other people, yet he still decided to do it. Also, he told me afterward that he used numbing cream that I didn't ask for. They gave me no aftercare instructions and it was just an overall bad experience. I recommend going somewhere else if possible!

However, going to Fortune Teller, it is clear that everyone there loves what they do. Upon walking in, I was greeted by one of the artists who was incredibly nice and checked me in while I waited for Doug to finish up. The establishment is incredibly clean and spacious. If you are looking for a new tattoo, I highly suggest Doug. He cares about the work that he does, and his artistry is amazing. He also is personable and makes the experience of getting a tattoo enjoyable and eases your mind. I would definitely come back to Fortune Teller in the future.

This was a studio I'd been following and was hopeful for an appt. Was able to chat with Kara and we found time that worked. Everyone at the shop was smiling and friendly and Kara was so welcoming.

I worked with Alby and he truly is a professional. He took my idea and made the sweetest tattoo. I liked that he printed out a few sizes so we could play with location and what it would look like. The level of talent was unreal - I have gotten so many compliments on the detail of work. Would not hesitate to recommend Alby or this shop for your next tattoo.

I have worked with both Alby and Casey and cannot speak highly enough of North Coast…read more Alby did a smaller piece on me a few years ago, and I felt instantly welcomed into the space. The tattoo is lovely and the healing process didn't even seem to happen - such fine work! More recently I have been to see Casey for a larger piece. I brought a crazy vision for a tattoo that I had always dreamed of and didn't think would be possible based on the placement and complexity. Casey has brought this dream to life. I am so grateful for his creativity, finesse, and general vibes that make getting a large painful tattoo feel easy and has changed my look in such a sick way. And not to mention all of the other beautiful tattoos I have witnessed in process by other artists at North Coast - When someone asks me where to get a tattoo in Maine, I always recommend North Coast!

It's the second floor of a house, and you genuinely feel like you've been welcomed into a home. And then the artists...are spectacular in really every way. Everyone I have met has been so nice, so cool, and of course so skilled and talented. They take their work tremendously seriously and produce amazing results. On top of all that, their prices are super reasonable. Getting inked can be super nerve wracking, particularly if it's your first time. I can't imagine a better studio than Tsunami to put you at ease. Seriously I can't recommend them highly enough.

Matt is so kind and knows exactly what will work and what won't. He's not going to give you a shitty tattoo. The " shop" is in a beautiful second floor Portland apartment flat.

You need an appointment and I'd recommend calling well ahead because they do not take walk ins.
