Frankie was truly a breath of fresh air. This was my very first tattoo experience, and I was not starting small. I was going all in with a full sleeve. From the very beginning, Frankie helped me capture the heart of what I wanted. I came in with one idea, and he walked me through the artistry and beauty of how a tattoo can be interpreted and brought to life in an even better way than I had imagined. In the end, I trusted his judgment completely, and I do not regret it for a second. He guided me through every stage of the process and was incredibly thorough when it came to aftercare, making sure I understood how to take care of my tattoo during the days, weeks, and months between sessions. To this day, all I get are compliments on my sleeve. People are always asking where I got it done, and I never hesitate to tell them it was Frankie at Three Roses Studio. Professionally, he is outstanding, focused, and incredibly talented. Personally, he is even better. Over the course of about a year, mostly because of my own scheduling issues, we got to know each other well, and I can honestly say he is one of the most down-to-earth and genuine people you could hope to meet. The whole experience was one incredible journey, and I could not be happier with how it all turned out. read more

Three Roses Studio - My lovely wife and I on the beach with my new beautiful tattoo sleeve. - Art Galleries Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Pretty soon to write a tattoo since we got them today, but will plan to update it later . . . My 18 year old son and I got matching tattoos. I contacted Frank weeks ago, to ask him about scheduling a time we could visit from MA to get our first tats. He was so great, he actually opened the studio specifically to accommodate our schedule when we would be visiting from out of state. He was great. We shared designs over emails and spoke over the phone. He was frank and advised us and we ended up getting 3 done today. I got one on my outer wrist, and my son got his matching one on his inside arm and then an arm band. The band is one based on something we saw and liked. Frank modified the piece and made a piece of art that is now a custom piece that no one else will have. My son is so happy. When we came in we sat and talked and got to know each other. He made sure we were not nervous, wanted us to know his home was our home, answered all questions, and made us feel so comfortable. He is not only professional with years of experience and an incredible talent, he also has a great eye. He understands the technical aspect behind his art, and the psychological aspect of tattoo. We really were interested also in the spiritual side of tattoo and learned so much about this. Really interesting. Frank has so much information to share, you only have to ask. We now know, that we will never get ink anywhere else. We can highly recommend Frank and Three Roses. The back room, with the TV, art books and his hand drawn art was just so great. It had the feeling of being cozy yet professional. Check it out. Well worth the trip. read more

I truly cannot sing Frankie's praises enough. From the day we walked in for our consult, through every step of design, to these stunning results, he treated us more like friends/family than clients. He dug deep into our wants and asked a ton of questions in order to create designs that were truly unique and perfectly us. Additionally, the second tattoo he did for me was unbelievably meaningful. After a recent miscarriage, my husband and I wanted a way to memorialize our loss and keep the baby we never met with us forever. Frankie took that and turned it into the beautiful bird piece, with the idea that when we are able to grow our family, he can continue to add to the design. These were my 4th and 5th tattoos, and I can honestly say I would only recommend Frankie based on my various experiences with other artists. He is just as amazing a human as he is an artist! read more

I would strongly advice against getting a tattoo here. I spoke with the owner of the shop (Frankie) directly about the tattoo I wanted. It was my first tattoo and I was very clear about the size, font, and placement of my tattoo. While emailing Frankie, he seemed very accommodating and knowledgeable which was important to me and my dad. I got my tattoo at age 17, and looking back I was very naive. I initially felt comfortable getting such a meaningful tattoo done, however when I arrived at the shop I felt very uncomfortable. Frankie didn't tell me until my appointment that the tattoo I wanted needed to be bigger. Again, I had been very clear that I wanted a small lettering tattoo but at my appointment he insisted that it needed to be larger. I have seen small lettering tattoos many times that are much better quality than the tattoo frankie did on me. He should have been honest about his ability rather than saying what I wanted wasn't possible. In my appointment, Frankie also claimed to be ranked number 7 nationally as a tattoo artist, which is NOT true. With all of his talk and it being my first tattoo, I wasn't experienced enough to see through his bs. I submitted a google review stating what had happened and he responded by saying it was my fault bec of the after care. This is so far from the truth. I have several other tattoos now that have healed beautifully and haven't bled. My other tattoo artists' refer to Frankie's tattoo as a "blowout" meaning he tattooed too deep causing the ink to bleed. I went to a dermatologist to get the tattoo removed bec the handwriting was not legible, however I learned that because Frankie tattooed so deep, my skin was scarred and raised wherever he tattooed. As I read other reviews I noticed this was common for him. Frankie, I'm not bashing you and I'm 19 so don't attack me like you did in my last review. You've already messed up the most meaningful tattoo I could have. I'm sharing my experience and trying to educate others so they can make informed decisions and hopefully this won't happen to anyone else. I attached a photo from a few hours after my tattoo and then again when it was healed. This is not a healing problem. This is an artist problem. read more

Excellent experience! Frankie's studio is a true gem of Fairfield county. If you're looking for a place to get a meaningful tattoo that is not like a traditional biker parlor - this is the place for you. Frankie has step up his studio to be inviting and calming. It is very clean - coming from someone that works in the healthcare field that's the first thing I noticed. I also watched Frankie disinfect throughly after my tattoo was complete. My husband was able to sit near me on a couch and watch tv during my entire tattoo - which was comforting to me. Frankie is the only artist at the studio and is highly professional. He takes the time to educate you on the tattooing process. He also makes suggestions on how best to preserve your tattoo and what to expect during the healing process. I also felt his pricing was extremely fair - especially for the area. Overall great experience! I will definitely be back for my next tattoo. read more

Frankie, the owner who runs the Three Roses Studio, is one of the greatest artists around. Ranked at #2 Tattoo artist in CT, and #1 for Japanese tattoos, he is very talented, always producing top quality work with great care, dedication, and precision. He is also quite versatile in his art, style, and overall work, and he can do it all - whether producing paintings, tattoos, or teaching university courses nearby. Frankie's art and expertise is informed by countless travels and work in different countries, including Japan, Italy, and other parts of the US. The studio is in a great location and also used as an art gallery and to teach courses, which is really cool! Highly recommended for the art and techniques expertise, top rank, individual care, and overall great support of a truly talented artist. You'll be in good hands if you go here, and have the chance to get to know a really cool person and amazing artist. read more

I had such a positive experience. Frankie is a phenomenal artist and person. The space he created is one of positivity and calmness. He truly is dedicated to the work he does. I would highly recommend this studio! read more

The experience that I had at Three Roses Studio is exactly what getting a tattoo should be. Frankie is the ultimate artist and professional. He took care in the design of the tattoo, he made me completely comfortable in the studio and I could not be happier with the tattoo. I will definitely be returning to have him do more work. A tattoo is something that is going to last for a lifetime so it is not a decision one should take lightly. Three Roses is a choice you will not regret. read more

This studio isn't top rated for nothing - Frankie is unbelievably talented and has tattooing down to a science. The studio itself is clean , comfortable and inviting. Frankie worked with my boyfriend and I and created gorgeous pieces even better than we had imagined. This was by far the gentlest, least painful tattoo i've ever gotten and Frankie was kind enough to check on me during it , and finished it in record time. I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone who wants a beautiful authentic Japanese style tattoo . We will definitely be returning to finish up our pieces in the near future . read more

Frankie is passionate, professional and most importantly extremely talented. I recently received a script tattoo on my forearm. It was my first tattoo and Frankie really helped collaborate in the design of the tattoo and then ultimately executed perfectly exactly what I was looking for. If you are looking for a serious tattoo artist, who will put his heart and soul into the project, look no further than Frankie and Three roses studio. Also, the studio is more like an art gallery than a tattoo parlor and I mean that in a positive way. read more

Honestly I wish I could give Frankie more than 5 stars he is an out of this world tattoo artist. I sent him my idea for a tattoo and he drew it up for me better than I could've imagined. He really cares about the customer and making sure they feel comfortable and he makes them feel at home. Tattoos can be scary for some people and he makes it easy and painless. Honesty I don't think I can go anywhere else for tattoos besides Frankie because of his artwork and dedication to really giving you the best tattoo possible. Anyone who ever needs a tattoo I'm recommending them to Frankie. You won't find a better shop anywhere in Connecticut so if you need a tattoo 100% go to Frankie and no one else you will definitely not be disappointed!! read more

I got my second tattoo here and it has caused me to question if I ever want another. I went to the owner wanting a small heart, but he insisted I needed to make it bigger because of fading (I understand this is standard for many tattoos however the end result could certainly have been done a lot smaller as I have seen others with far better results) I agreed as I had little experience or knowledge of tattoos and trusted him when he said he could not make it smaller. However, after the tattoo healed it was clear there was one line that had bleed making it thicker than the other lines and therefore the tattoo entirely uneven. It even caused people to jokingly ask if I had drawn on myself (not realizing it was a tattoo). I ended up having to get it fixed at a different tattoo parlor, causing the tattoo to be far thicker than I imagined. The owner had amazing intentions but I believe he could have been more straightforward with me and his abilities rather than making up a bs excuse about how I had to make the tattoo I wanted bigger than necessary. The photos shows after the tough up work though I believe it is still clear the bottom left side is not correct and the sizing is beyond what a professional tattoo artist could do. read more

I am so very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend him. His studio is beautiful, it has the look and feel of an art gallery. read more

I'm visiting my friend from out of town and decided to get tattoos to commemorate her 30th birthday. We found this tattoo studio close to where she lives and we are so happy we found Frankie! At first, I thought it was an art studio - the first room is very artistic and zen. The tattoo room makes you feel right at home and Frankie is very friendly and personable. All 3 of us ended up getting tattoos and we couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you for making my trip! read more

Three Roses is by far the nicest tattoo studio I've ever been to! It reminded me more of a spa/art gallery more than a tattoo parlor. Frankie is professional, considerate and just an all around great guy! His dedication to his art and his clients shines through in his work. Just a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Such a memorable and great experience at Three Roses. Frankie is really down to earth and passionate about his art of tattooing. Such a genuine place and would recommend anyone to get a tattoo here. Not only great art work but absolutely great atmosphere throughout the whole studio. read more

Frankie was amazing! I was a little nervous coming in as it was my first tattoo but as soon as I walked into his studio I felt so comfortable. The overall atmosphere is very calming and Frankie is clearly so passionate about his work, I knew I was in good hands. He has such a light touch and rib tattoos can be pretty painful, but it was nothing compared to what I was imagining. I would recommend Three Roses to anyone and everyone looking to get a tattoo. I am absolutely in love with his work and I don't have enough good things to say about him. read more

Frankie is one of the nicest and most respectful people I have ever met. This was my first tattoo and he made sure I felt as comfortable and safe as I possibly could. He explained everything step by step and asked if I was okay throughout the entire tattoo. Not only did he take great care of me, but also my mom and best friend who came with me. The environment of his studio is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and just downright awesome. His art all over the walls is a great representation of himself so you know exactly who is about to tattoo you. He's amazing at talking to people and tells some really awesome stories. You can tell he's is in this business because he loves it, not because he wants money. He does absolutely beautiful work and I 110% recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to get tatted. read more

We can not be more happy and pleased with Frank and his tattoo art studio. Our daughter got her first ever tattoo today and it was a very pleasant professional positive experience. The art came out amazing and he made her feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. We can not be more happy with the entire experience. We will only go here from this point on. read more

Frankie opened 3 Roses art studio & tattoo shop with a vision to build an open and creative environment and pursue the arts in all forms. Getting a tattoo with Frankie is an experience that doesn't feel like the assembly line "tattoo shop" norm. It was an honor to get under the needle from such a talented artist who remains so humble. Don't expect a quick walk in, as Frankie will create a custom piece that both the artist and client can connect and be happy with. If you are looking for a small quick piece of flash this isn't your spot, but if you're looking for a spiritual lifetime commitment to a work of art, Frankie is your guy. Also the first and ONLY tattoo shop in Fairfield CT, been in business for ~6 months. Much more comfortable than any city alternative, a solid start up business to support. read more

We stopped here last summer for my cousin to get a tattoo. The staff was so kind and patient for our group. It was a really nice interior, and cute decor. We were there for almost 3 hours. They helped pick out the font and design her tattoo too, plus the tattoo turned out great. Really recommend this place:) read more

The vibe and experience you get from Three Roses Studio is one of a kind; Frankie takes the time to get to know each and every one of his clients on a personal level and always goes the extra mile to ensure that what you ask for is what you get. All around great guy who devotes all his extra time into making clients happy. Highly recommend - go check it out, I can guarantee you will leave making a new friend. read more

If I could move into a tattoo studio and live there, it would be 3 roses tattoo. Frankie is the best in the game, creating the cleanest, most comfortable environment for any client, especially a first timer. The energy of Frankie and his space is something extremely unique, and I was already planning when I could come next the second I walked through the doors. He has such a refreshing way of looking at tattoos as memories that capture a moment in time. Most tattoo studios have an intimidating aura, but at 3 roses you feel entirely at home and calm. Frankie is so personable and talks you through every step of the process. After this experience I can't see myself going to any other tattoo studio besides 3 roses. read more

Three Roses Studio is awesome! It's a beautiful art studio and tattoo parlor and has various events throughout the year such as "Paint and Sips", poetry readings, holiday parties and is a great hang out spot!

Amazing experience over all! Most tattoo parlors won't let you have friends come in with you, but this was an intimate experience where friends were allowed to hang out and support you.

Three Roses is the coolest place. It's a laid back and comfortable atmosphere and Frankie makes everyone who comes in feel like they're welcome.

Amazing studio! Extremely clean and professional. Couldn't be happier and pleased with the work and presentation of this business!

Frankie is not a tattooer, he is a tattoo artist. Before tattooing, Frankie has a consultation with you to get an idea of who you are and what you're looking to get done. He truly listens to you and, as a result, is able to create exactly what you want. Frankie did a very special tattoo for me - I donated a kidney and wanted to commerate it with a tattoo. His piece exceeded my expectations. It's everything I wanted and more. And then he updated a tattoo I had but was unhappy with...both are absolutely beautiful. Frankie's studio is like no other tattoo studio - it's warm, inviting and full of amazing art. And Frankie is a warm, caring, friendly artist who's only goal is to make sure he gives you exactly what you want while making sure you are comfortable and happy throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a unique tattoo and a true tattoo artist, Frankie's studio is the place to go. read more
