I got two small tattoos here last week and had a great experience! I called to come in last minute…read morebut they were super accommodating and worked with me to get what I wanted. They were very clean/organized with Covid stuff- had me wipe down my phone and hands when I came in and very clean inside the shop. Ed tattooed me and was great! He gave me honest feedback on how to improve my ideas which I really appreciated. His work turned out great and he gave me thorough after-care instructions. My tattoos were simple but Ed does some awesome color work - if you're interested in that definitely check him out! overall I had a great experience and will definitely be back the next time I need a tattoo!

Hi, I was tattooed…read moreby Mari. She's incredible. I was in the industry for 11 years. Was married to someone who owned a very prestigious shop in Westchester County, NY. I have been in CT for 4 years. I refused to get tattooed by anyone out here bc I couldn't find anyone good as in NY. But Mari is damn good. What I personally look for in a tattoo is clean lines. That seems like a given but a lot of people either can't do it, or it blows out (expands in your skin). Also I said I would never ever ever in my life get lettering. I am basically covered in what looks like a garden. No lettering. Just no. But, never say never. Not only did I get lettering, but I got it here in Connecticut. And I wish I could have handed her a $100 bill as a tip. Aside from the tattoo and it's quality, Mari made me feel comfortable. She even gave me some candy to double up on the slim chance I would pass out bc it had to go over a bone for a brief minute. Thank you Mari, I really hope I am spelling your name correctly. She goes by @therealsashasmilesz on IG I may or may not choose to post a photo of it bc it is a personal tattoo but just look at her work on IG. She can 100% no doubt, tattoo her butt off. The rest of the people who worked at the shop were also very kind, calm and friendly. Thank you so much "Sara" (from the Bronx)

When I was 18 I got my whole right side done and Adam really helped me get thru the pain back then when I almost couldn't take it anymore. He is meticulous and does really great line work . I even ended up leaving with an unplanned finger tattoo because I couldn't get enough when the touch up was over ! Il definitely be coming back !!

If…read moreyou're not a regular "ink" gal ( my only other one had been done 25 years ago), you really don't know where to go or how it works. 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.

My tattooing experience is not very broad. Although I have six tattoos, I've only been to two…read moreshops. When I find an artist who does clean work that matches the vision of what I wanted why would I go anywhere else. At Goodspeed, George, Jeremy and Clarissa interact like you are visiting them at home. The decor of the shop is eclectic. The music is surprising. George has done 4 of my six tattoos. Once you develop a level of trust with an artist, getting ink done is much more enjoyable. On my most recent visit I brought my daughter for her first tattoo. Both of us are super happy with how the tattoos came out. Goodspeed is a great little local shop for getting your ink done. But a tattoo shop is not a salon or preschool. Be ready for the chaotic energy that goes with artists creating permanent pieces of art on people's bodies. I don't have plans for any new work, yet. But when I do, Goodspeed is where I will go.
