I was really pleased with everything at Hamptons, Ink. I went for a nose piercing and it was…read morecompletely seamless and fun! Kat welcomed us with a warm greeting, she was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable, and studio was impeccable and really cute ! She made us feel comfortable right away. I haven't gotten a piercing in awhile and she knew I was a little nervous for my nose piercing, and she made me completely at ease and made the process quick and painless! She took her time to draw where the ring would go and told me each step of what she was doing. Made me feel like I was in good hands!!! Kat was awesome!!!! Really sweet, calming, professional and all around fun to talk to!!! I'll definitely recommend Hamptons Ink to anyone who is considering going there. Now I'm wondering what I can get done next . Thank you, Kat!!!!!

I got a spine piece done by Joe here. First off, the salon is killer. Very clean and everyone is…read moresuper professional. Spine pieces are notorious for being a tender spot. I went in, had a consult with Joe, and put a deposit down. Immediately liked his attitude. He's very caring about what YOU want and making sure it's perfect for YOU. We went back and forth on font and designs and he was very receptive. Came in for my appointment, he was very polite and respectful. He is very light handed and super attentive to detail. This was a large piece down the entirety of my spine and he knew it was something very sentimental for me so he took his time and didn't rush. He went in with a fine needle and then went back in to pack in color to ensure it doesn't spread and fade poorly. I napped most of the session because he was very light handed Thank you Joe, and thank you Darkside for the great experience. Highly recommend!!

Instead of doing what many piercers would probably do, just make a few extra dollars & taking advantage of my ignorant self, they educated me on how to treat the irritation and told me it was best to keep my original jewelry even knowing I was willing to pay whatever to buy new jewelry and have it changed. I saw a young customer who actually got pierced walk out happily with her new lobes, probably her first piercing ever. I'll definitely be getting piercings here and updating my review after. If you're looking for awesome customer service in a comfortable environment with nice people, I'd definitely recommend this shop.

After lunching with a girlfriend in Old Saybrook, we were driving down Main Street when she said "hey, that's where my husband and daughter got their matching tattoos. Do you want to check it out? In we went and I told the gentleman at the counter what I wanted. He said I could walk in anytime for that. Out from the back came Jim who said he could do it right now. I told him what I wanted, and 5 minutes later he came back with a couple of sketches. I tweaked the font and toyed with the pink ribbon, and boom...15 minutes later I had my tattoo-exactly how I wanted it, where I wanted it, and without breaking the bank! Jim even said I could come back if down the road I wanted to outline the ribbon; that's customer service. I just sent a friend there and she was thrilled as well My daughter keeps talking about the whole family getting matching ones..I know where we'll go.

I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE!

Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared.
