I got my first tattoo from Mickey here back in May 2017 and I couldn't be happier. When I described…read moreover the phone what I was wanting, I could sense his excitement for me. At my appointment, I brought in a picture of what I was looking for; he then took my picture and created a drawing for what my tattoo could look like. The pain was to be expected but the end result made it totally worth it. Now I completely understand when people say "once you get a tattoo, you'll keep wanting more". Can't wait to add into my arm band and make it more beautiful!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved getting my tattoo at Rock City. Every step of the…read moreprocess, from my initial consultation to discuss design to the actual tattooing itself, was absolutely perfect. I even have a short follow-up scheduled three weeks after my appointment so they can take a look at my ink after it has healed and to go over areas that may need some touching up. I get a real kick out of talking with people who are passionate about what they do, so my hours in the chair with Kevin just flew by. I'm a relative noob (this was only my second tattoo), so I'm sure I must have been asking the most ridiculous questions, but everyone in the shop seemed eager to share their expertise. I don't know how many more tattoos I will be getting, but there is no doubt in my mind that I'll never go anywhere but here.

I have had a few different artists over the years, a couple I stayed with for numerous pieces. Lou is the one I'll be staying with now. He is an insanely talented artist as you can see from my photo (and the rest of his portfolio), with a really wonderfully easy-going personality to boot. His hand is not only skilled but very gentle. I went in slightly nervous after having already done a piece on my spine years ago which hurt like a mother F-er, and he proved I had nothing to worry about... 2.5 hours of sitting pretty with no issues at all. He went above and beyond in every way during my first visit. I could not be happier with how the tattoo came out or how the whole experience was overall! As for the shop itself, it's filled with amazing artwork and is impeccably clean. I made 2 more appointments for this summer already and you should too!

Everyone in this shop is patient, open minded, totally willing to work with whatever you want, upfront, honest, and knowledgeable. Though the shop is family friendly, please understand that language is used loosely, and it's a room full of people getting stabbed with needles. You may hear a few colorful words- but that's the business that you've walked into. Can't say enough great things about these guys. Just go meet them yourself for any tattoo/piercing needs.

I've had ornery tattoo artists in the past, but Matt is patient, a lot of fun, and also a real nice guy. The price was fantastic. I come from NYC where tattoos are $200 an hour, sometimes more. It was nearly half that here. One hell of bargain considering the quality of work, expertise, and relaxed environment. Also I was very happy to see a very clean and sanitary work space. Matt took great care and doing everything by the book. I highly recommend this place. Considering there's not a lot of tattoo shops in the vicinity of Storrs, it's great to know that the one that is, is really great.

He's also the only option you'll find in the area that INCLUDES the price of jewelry in the cost of piercing. He uses stainless steel rings and studs for all his piercings unless you have an allergy and was also willing to let me bring in my own jewelry (no other shops will let you do this because they want to up charge you like crazy for the jewelry). Aside from those things he is clearly very experienced at what he does, and was incredibly kind and patient with me as I tried to decide if I wanted to follow through with the piercing. Would definitely recommend him and go back. On a side not he takes walk-ins which is a godsend when it comes to trying to schedule appointments during Covid. I was going to have to wait a week for all other places minimum.
