Going back to see that Barron has his own tattoo studio and has filled it with amazing artists, is a huge step for him in this very progressive and competitive business. We loved our artist, James. He was professional, warm, and happily added a small adjustment to my tattoo with a "no problem". I seriously have nothing to add to my wish list, except for maybe they can add a studio in Georgia...

I had a great experience at Redemption getting my very first tattoo. I really like that you book…read moreappointments by reaching out to the artist you specifically want to work with. They have portfolios of the artsists' work on the website. Based on Yelp reviews, I chose Andy Reach and he was great. In order to reserve your timeslot, you send a deposit to your artist (I chose to do so via Venmo), for me it was $60. After you receive the tattoo you pay the remaining amount, $40 for me. [Note: $100 is the minimum fee at Redemption, even for a small tattoo like mine. I was happy to pay that knowing I'm working with a great artist at a reputable shop, but you can probably find cheaper for small, single-color tattoos elsewhere.] Don't forget to tip too! Andy did a great job on my tattoo. I had a really specific design (the 3 stars from the corner of the page in the Harry Potter books) and he copied it exactly. He was very honest and upfront with me about what size and location would last well instead of promising something that would never work long term. I left with a slightly bigger tattoo than I'd anticipated, but I feel confident that it won't fade or blur like the smaller size I'd initially planned on. All in, I was probably under the needle for 20 minutes tops. It felt like someone digging their fingernail into your skin. Sure, it hurts, but no biggie. A month and a half later, my tattoo has healed really nicely and looks great. It bled a little bit the first night but other than that healing was fairly quick and easy. I will absolutely come back to Redemption and Andy specifically if/when I decide to get my next tattoo.

As my 18th birthday was a while ago, my first to-do item on the list of stuff to do for the big…read moreoccasion was getting my first tattoo! Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I had to wait a little while longer to visit the shop for the first time! After booking the consultation, and meeting my artist, I put down my deposit and waited one painstakingly long week before the official appointment arrived. Of course I was nervous as heck because I had job idea how much the tattoo cost, or how painful it was gonna be, plus doing anywhere during all this madness is a challenge within itself. However, all the safety precautions were being taken, all artists and customers (including myself) had masks and gloves on, and the procedure went great! Jebb, (my artist) did a phenomenal job of making me feel comfortable and calm during the whole thing, and I will definitely be coming back here for my next tattoo! p.s, my art is healing really nicely, and the pain afterwards was little to none!

Together we came up with what i wanted and tattooed it all the same day i walked in. The staff are all super friendly and the shop is very clean and up to date. I was also pierced here shortly after! Nothing but great things to say! Highly recommend if you're on the North Shore coming by!

I had done a good amount of research on tattoo artists and decided to visit The Fox and Fable…read more7/5/2025 for a walk-in that I had been wanting for a few years. I was first greeted by Bee, an apprentice at The Fox and Fable, who was warm and welcoming. Bee expressed that they had time for a walk-in and started the check-in process with me. Bee spent such a long, and essential, time listening to my vision and what I wanted out of this tattoo. They were kind, funny, and made sure I felt listened to. They printed over 5 versions of my tattoo idea, that they hand drew for me, and asked me what I did and did not like about it, any changes, and actively listened to what I said. I have had so many negative experiences with tattoo artists, stating their preference on what is permanently on MY body, the placement, my ideas of tattoos, being annoyed with my questions and concerns, etc... Bee was the opposite. After the consultation Bee and I worked on the sizing, made more adjustments, and then they started tattooing me. Their fine line and coloring work is beyond what I had imagined and seen on their social media. Bee was gentle and informative about what they were doing to me the entire time. I have always wanted a regular tattoo artist who I can trust with my future art, and I finally found on with Bee. They may be an apprentice right now but they are so beyond talented, accommodating, and compassionate that I can't wait to see what they do next. I will be a returning customer to not only The Fox and Fable, but to Bee specifically.

I showed him a drawing only. He said it was good enough! Mike liked it and did it free-hand from a little picture. I couldn't be happier! I can see it on my left arm. It was like an answer about "Who I was, really? What better defined me?" This defined a moment, when I see it thru out the days! Anyways, my newest tattoo is exactly how I'd seen it there so many times before. Mike was def a pro, who knew how to color and do the word "Light" as if it really shone! People, who are curios, like myself, ask to see it! Thanks!! And to Mike, or Matt. (I can't remember names anymore).
