Ryan Fleming is a professional, kind, funny human being and someone I look forward to working with…read more The studio itself is clean and predictable. 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.

This is a solid tattoo shop. I went in with a design in mind, but they've got a ton of artwork to…read morepick from if you need some inspiration. Like other reviewers have already mentioned, the shop is neat and clean and everything was handled in a sterile manner. As for my tattoo, I explained what I wanted and where I wanted it. He explained that where I wanted this particular tattoo wasn't the best placement and he took the time to explain why. I tend to think a lesser tattooist would have just done what I asked for without explaining why it wasn't the best choice. Can't stress enough how grateful I am that he had my best interest in mind! He drew it up for me better than I had imagined, the placement is perfect and it looks fantastic. Is there anything better than a fresh tattoo?!?! This is a fun, laid back but professional shop. I traveled over an hr to go to this shop and it was well worth the drive. Oh and the prices are more than fair. I can't think of one bad thing to say about this place...not one!

Might be the opposite of what you imagine a tattoo shop to be, but in all the best ways…read more The space is quiet, calm, clean, and peaceful. 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. It's clean, organized and quiet. There's parking on the street but I've never not parked in front of the building. I would recommend Tsunami a hundred times over. You need an appointment and I'd recommend calling well ahead because they do not take walk ins.

She did such a great job on my rook piercing. I felt so relaxed and actually had fun, because she put me at ease and made me feel very safe. She was very thorough with explaining her process. 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!

What an AMAZING experience I had at this shop!…read more My mom, sister, and I made same-day appointments with Jess at this beautiful tattoo/piercing/art gallery shop in downtown North Conway. It honestly was the best day in recent memory. This shop is unlike any tattoo spot I've been to - it's serene, calming, and immediately puts you at ease in a situation where you might be feeling a little nervous. Jess, Emma (the other tattoo artist), and Wayne (a piercer who has pierced me several times!) are all welcoming and fabulous to have conversations with. Jess is such an amazing artist - watching her tattoo is a thrill - and her artwork hanging around the shop is unreal. I spent much of my time here observing her amazing paintings, as well as the loads of gorgeous plants, succulents, and Victorian-esque items! This shop is clean, the artists are genuine, and the work they do is the best I've ever experienced. I don't see a reason to go anywhere else... I'll be back asap, Darling Grey!

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!
