My girlfriend and I recently got tattooed here and we had an amazing experience. This was her first one and Dave was awesome from the consult through the finished piece. The shop has such a cool vibe and the staff is so nice. We both will be going back. read more

I've consistently gotten work done here from Luis, and other artists that have worked here in the past. Staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. I couldn't recommend a place more ! read more

I've gone back twice now for tattoos over the years, and been thrilled with the results. Both of my tattoos were from Greg, who made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Both tattoos were memorial tattoos- nothing super outrageous, fairly straightforward (one a butterfly with watercolor, one just a paw print). But Greg took time to make sure they were what I wanted, where I wanted, and listened while I talked about who I was getting each tattoo for. Great location, highly recommend! read more

My artist J is awesome and extremely accommodating. I could not be any happier with my ink

First time going to their new location since they were on mineral spring, and saw a new artist Greg. He did an amazing job and made sure I got exactly what I wanted with size, placement, and colors. Definitely will come back! read more

Unicorn Ink - Two tattoos in one session - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

Popped in for a spontaneous piercing(s) and saw Mikey. Was super chill, super nice, the whole vibe of the shop was relaxed and comforting. He worked quick and efficiently. Space is super cool. Front desk person was VERY nice. Even as someone who is heavily tattooed it can be intimidating walking into a tattoo/piercing shop and I felt very comfortable the entire time. Highly recommended read more

Unicorn Ink - Third hole - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

I had a very disappointing experience with this place. My mom expressed concern, like any parent would about me getting a tattoo at 18, and instead of responding with professionalism, someone who works here made a rude and unnecessary post mocking her after we left. It was immature and totally uncalled for. I expect better behavior from a business, especially one that works with young clients. Would not recommend. read more

I rarely, if ever, post reviews anywhere, but I had to absolutely leave one for this. My husband and I took our (almost) 5 year old daughter to Unicorn Ink today to get her ears pierced, and it was the absolute best case scenario, complete dream experience from start to finish! The person at the front desk was so patient and professional, the office was clean and had a great atmosphere and aesthetic, and Mikey, our piercer, was so wonderful! Mikey's work space is decked out in the coolest The Nightmare Before Christmas theme, which happens to be a movie my daughter had a brief obsession with not that long ago, so she instantly was so relaxed considering she was about to have her ears pierced! She was very excited but also expectedly very nervous, but Mikey explained every step so she knew what to expect and it was so quick and over in a flash she didn't even flinch! She absolutely loves her new pierced ears and is looking at them in the mirror every chance she gets. Minimal redness and swelling so far, Mikey gave us some after care instructions and the World's Best Business Card. Little details like that just show that this person loves their career and invests in themselves, and that's a person you can trust to give your kids, and yourself, the best possible piercing experience and outcome. Thank you, Unicorn Ink! I will recommend your studio every single time to any parent who ever asks where they should get their child's ears pierced, or anyone else for that matter! read more

Worst communication ever, they recommend me to reach out to two of their artists for a cover up. One recommended me to the other just for the other to recommend the original person who said they don't do cover ups. If u didn't want to tatt me just say that. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Greg is awesome! He was very considerate of my comfort (asked what music I wanted to hear and played it the whole time), checked in with how I was doing, used a lidocaine lotion to help with pain, responded readily to any questions or concerns. Tattoo looks awesome! Very Grateful read more

Unicorn Ink - Bear - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

My son just turned 18, and one of my birthday gifts to him was his first tattoo. I have several tattoos myself, so I know the importance of finding a high quality artist and shop. I made an appointment with Kenz and my son and I are so happy with the outcome. She has only been tattooing for a few years, but she knows what she's doing and I would definitely recommend her. She took her time with the placement, adjusting and measuring it several times until everyone was happy. As a mom, I was probably a little "extra" with ensuring everything looked perfect before we started, and she was really great about it. She offered my son breaks and snacks and distracted him from any discomfort by talking about gaming. The shop is sanitary and very very cool! The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. Each artist has their own studio so you can have privacy too. Thank you Kenz and Unicorn Ink for making my son's first tattoo experience perfect! read more

I've been to Unicorn Ink a few times. Last summer, my hole closed up while I was trying to change it (many months after my healing period ended). Due to Covid-19, I had to wait quite some time to get it re-pierced. They were incredible about setting up my appointment, and they sent a text to confirm! On the day of, they really stuck to COVID safety protocols! They had me wait in my car while I filled out paperwork. When I completed that, I was escorted inside. I signed in and had my temp taken (touch-free). There was ample sanitizer (and social distancing). Mike did my piercing, and, per usual, he was quick, efficient, & informative! I LOVE MY NOSE PIERCING! It's perfect. Definitely recommend! read more

Went to unicorn tattoo parlor and went to my trusted tattoo artist Kenzy and as usual she didn't disappoint. She listens to what you want and your ideas that you may not have pictures of but she listens so well, she understands what you are looking for and then TOPS your wildest dream of what it will look like. I receive nothing but compliments for my tattoos (her work ). Extremely talented... Thank you, Kenz. I believe she knew just how important this last tattoo was for me ... read more

I've gone to unicorn ink for a few large tattoo pieces. I see Jason who has done some amazing work on me but the only downside is his attitude. He's not the friendliest guy and comes across as somewhat arrogant. He's a good artist but it's always a tense and uncomfortable environment. He seems like he is annoyed at the fact he has to do the tattoo but atleast it's a clean and environment... Definitely will be looking elsewhere for my next tattoo! read more

120$ for terrible line work. Very disappointed with this tattoo. The crescent moon isn't round, and it's sloppy. The letters are fading and I just got it done. read more

Unicorn Ink - Highly disappointed - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

It's been 14 years since I got my last tattoo, so I was very picky about where I would go when I picked up the habit again. My best friend got work done here, and I was impressed (plus, I trust her judgement), so I made my own appointment. I went with Jason, and was not disappointed! I chose a piece with lots of color, and Jason did a fantastic job. He didn't try to oversell me on anything, was upfront about the process, and fair about the pricing. I'm making an appointment with him again for next month and would highly recommend him. About the shop itself: what a fun environment! Wicked friendly staff. Relaxed vibe. Super positive experience. A heck of a difference from tattoo shops of old! I liked that I was able to book my appointment with them online. I could send design ideas ahead of time, and be certain that the artist was comfortable with the work. My emails were answered quickly, and they were super patient with all of my questions. I look forward to visiting again! read more

Angelo is so talented. I have three big pieces on my body now, and all are supposed to be realistic depictions of landscapes with my animals. This is by far my best one yet! Angelo did such a realistic depiction of my cat, I wish he had done all my pieces. He is worth the wait, and also a very chill down to earth guy. The place is clean, with a large lot, and they're taking Covid guidelines very seriously. Very professional place. Highly recommend. read more

Professional, clean, kind, helpful, friendly. I'm so grateful for the staff at Unicorn Ink.

I will definitely be back to see Mikey for my next piercing!! read more

This place was so cool! The inside of the building alone is worth the visit! The decor and intricate detailing kept me looking every which way. Mike who did my rook piercing was professional, nice, and such an easy guy to work with! He made me feel comfortable and honestly it didn't hurt at all which I find is a true sign of a great piercer!! Thank you very much mike I absolutely love it! read more

Unicorn Ink - Rook piercing - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

They've done a few tattoos for me and were always professional and nice. The place was kept very clean and even entertaining! They will answer any questions and explain things if needed. They also give advice and information. They don't just give tattoos because a person wants them if they feel it's a bad decision... At least for me they didn't and now I am glad! I thought I knew what I wanted and how it was going to look, etc. But after talking to X and understanding things better, I changed my mind. I must say today I am so glad I didn't get what I thought I wanted but got something else and have been happy for years!! read more

Super great experience here! I took my 6yo to get her ears pierced and a second lobe piercing for myself, and everyone was kind and professional. The atmosphere was clean and fun, my daughter loved the rainbow floor and unicorn art everywhere. The employee who helped us made sure to explain everything clearly before he did anything, so my daughter felt very prepared and confident. read more

I've been fortunate enough to be tattooed by my dear friend Giulia twice at this shop; anyone would be lucky to do the same! The vibe in the whole place is very cool, there's a ton to look at in the common area and all you have to do is look at the posts on this page to see the great work every artist here is putting out. Giulia in particular is SO meticulous about her craft and puts a pretty remarkable amount of detail into small spaces. I've been tattooed all over the country and not every place you walk into is this welcoming and cool, with such a quality roster of artists to boot - proud to call unicorn my "home base" for work these days. read more

Just found this in my "drafts," this was meant to be posted a year ago! Went in to have my nose pierced this evening after working up the chops for the past few years! I was greeted warmly and professionally by Mike and the people at the desk. After filling out paperwork we went right to the piercing area. It was such a relief that he took the time to answer my questions without making me feel like I was taking up all his time. He was patient and accommodating. Highly recommend!! read more

Love this place . Super laid back and welcoming. Have 3 tattoos from here and love all of them. Always easy to communicate and schedule

Piercing review. In and out, with the very personable Mikey. I decided on a whim to get my tragus pierced and walked right in, no wait. I may have been persuaded due to their $10 off Yelp check in coupon. Hey man, ten bucks is ten bucks! Mikey was very patient, and very professional. This isn't my first rodeo and have experienced some real know-it-alls and Mikey was the very opposite of those boneheads. Kind of can't wait to come back for my next piercing. read more

My AC was broken in my car and drove 30 min there to get a piercing changed out. I made an appointment first and when I got there I was denied because my temp read as 110 degrees! I was sweating, from driving. I get COVID rules but like 110!?!!! I was even tested the day of (for work restrictions were tested twice weekly) and they wouldn't accept that either or let me cool down for a few. I went right to CVS, bought a thermometer and it read 97.9.... BELOW average. read more

This was my first time at unicorn ink and what a great experience! Walking into the shop the front desk is so friendly & crazy enough it is super kid/family friendly! I was there to get my 9 weeks old daughters ears pierced and had my 10 year old son with us. My 10 year old loves the video arcade and chips & candy! Mikey did the piercing and OMG he was so patient! My daughter was so cranky but he took his time and marked her ears and kept setting back giving me all the time needed to calm her down! I even breastfed while Miley did her ears. This place was amazing, and I HIGHLY recommend them. Everything was so clean and well taken care of. Thank you so much. read more

This is the worse shop ever for tattoos, I wish I could upload a picture of the messed up tattoo my best friend got from the boy they have working there. I emailed the owner regarding it, I even send a picture! he saw nothing wrong with the tattoo? He had a nasty attitude regarding our complaint.. I was dumb founded I couldn't believe his attitude.. as a business owner it's best to know how to be humble... I felt so bad for my friend because I took her there.. worse mistake I've made.. so think twice do not get suckerd in by cheap prices or what ever sale they advertise.. I'm so disappointed read more

I truthfully never take the time to submit reviews like this but I feel it's important to bring my experience to the attention of both this business and people considering getting a service done by them. I can't at all speak for anyone interested in tattoos as I only had four piercings done here all by Mikey. These were some of my first piercings so I unfortunately wasn't knowledgeable enough at the time to recognize the red flags, speak up about them, or chose to act differently which resulted in some major damage to the tissue surrounding all of my piercing sites. For starters, I had a two lobe piercings done, one on each ear. He wound his clamp so tightly on my ear lobe that after I had left the shop I had huge swollen bruises surrounding the piercing sites on both lobes. As someone fairly new to piercings at the time this terrified me. It took a nearly a month for these to go away. The main issue I had was with the helix piercing I had done here. If you're considering piercing your helix at this business I urge you to please consider other options. For starter jewelry I received what I believe to be a 20 gauge post with a butterfly back. For anyone who knows even a little bit about piercings putting a butterfly back on a helix piercings is immediately concerning and raises all of the red flags. It's been well over a year since I have received the piercing and it wasn't until recently I made an appointment with a more reputable piercer who told me that I was likely pierced with low quality jewelry that coupled with the butterfly back and the poor angle I was pierced at resulted in an accumulation of scar tissue on the tip of my ear. Getting my helix done here essentially deformed my ear a little bit. I'm extremely bummed. Also, because I was pierced with such a thin sized gauge I was never able to change the jewelry to anything of a proper quality or type of backing conducive to healthy and good looking piercings. I now have to work with another piercer to stretch this piercing I have to the proper size it should have been pierced at in the beginning. Just a lot of time and money I shouldn't have to spend. It's incredibly frustrating to have to have these complications with my piercing especially because they don't stem from anything I did wrong. Also, just a little side note. When I got this piercing done I expressed that I'd eventually like to wear a hoop in this piercing and asked which size he'd advise me to purchase. To which he responded I would be best of with a 16 or 18 gauge hoop. Shoving jewelry too big for a piercing hole can result in some irritation and even damage. The way I was pierced with such tiny jewelry and advised to simply shove something far larger when it would heal up is just crazy. I also had my rook pierced here. It has also been almost a year and with consistent after care and not sleeping on the piercing it is still irritated, not healing, and even bleeding. With all these other issues I'm beginning to question that I was given poor quality jewelry for this piercing as well which has resulted in these issues. I would also like to add that at no point was it disclosed what material the jewelry I received was made from so I have no idea what was put in my ears. What I do know is that I will never be coming back here for any piercings nor will I suggest any of my friends come here as well. Again I would like to add that I NEVER do stuff like this. It's just important that I make everyone involved aware of my experience and hopefully some changes can be made to improve services people receive here. I am leaving two stars because despite the complications I have had Mikey is absolutely incredible guy and made me feel super comfortable throughout all of the appointments I had with him. By no means is he bad piercer. I just think purchasing some better starter jewelry, double checking the angle of piercings before he does them, and ensuring he's not clamping people too tight would make him such a far more incredible piercer. read more

Really can't say enough amazing things about Unicorn Ink. From the minute you step foot in the door you're welcomed into a great shop with amazing art and decor all over the walls by a great staff. Greg has done two pieces on my boyfriend and a huge piece on me. His work is unbelievable, we're lucky to have met him seeing as we has just randomly driven by one day and decided to come in. He spent a few weeks working with both of us on our totally unique designs and nailed them both exactly how we wanted. Dave is awesome and works so hard to make sure everybody is happy. Overall just a great and talented staff. It's worth checking out and making the trip to Mineral Spring! Definitely a gem in this city. read more

Me and my GF walk in on a Sunday with no appt, and we were immediately greeted by Eric. He said that he can take us in an hour. My GF wanted a series of butterflies on her back. Eric was extremely helpful with the design that he came up with and put them into my GF back. I would highly recommend this place for its cleanness and it professional staff. They also have a couch with a XBOX 360 where I spent most of the day hanging out on. Dave the owner was also there and he was very nice as well. Overall this place is definitely one of the best tattoo place I ha ever been too. read more

I came here for my first tattoo after researching online, reading the yelp reviews, and getting opinions from friends who have been here before. Everyone has only said good things about Unicorn Ink and I'm glad I came here! I loved Greg's art style and it was exactly what I was looking for, and he did a great job on it! I was a little nervous, but Greg was very easy-going and made the process a lot less stressful. And David, the owner, is super nice too! And they are both very professional and open to listening to your opinions and sharing their own as well. I'm a huge clean-freak so I felt very comfortable getting my tattoo done here because they are very clean there and safe. I definitely recommend coming here to get tattoo work done. :) My friend who came with me pretty much wanted to get her next tattoo done there too after seeing what a great job they did on mine. read more

I had always heard great things from friends about unicorn ink, so I wanted to give them a try. I've been wanting to get a tattoo to commemorate my mother, who passed 6 years ago, so I started with emailing from the website about setting up a tattoo consultation. The shop manager was awesome with helping me get the appointment. I explained what I wanted to get and she set up the consult and the tattoo appointment for me. This is where I start questioning everthing. I arrived for my consult only for my artist to be nowhere to be found, and no one in the shop knows where she is. She walks into the shop, from outside, about 20 minutes after my consult time. I finally get to go over what I want for my tattoo, a rosemary sprig. My mother's name is Rosemary and I didn't want it to be a portrait so I went a subtle route. I also asked her to include her birth/death year into the stalk of the sprig. She said it would be not problem. My consult was over a month before my appointment so she could sketch somethings up and she said she would text me some designs ahead of time and see what I liked. I hadn't heard a word from her til 8pm the night before my appointment, and it was only to check and see if I was still coming in for my appointment. She then proceeded to email me the morning of my appointment with the sketches that were done for my appointment. I opened the picture, and I couldn't believe what I saw. She had sketched CROSSES! Not once during my consult did I ever say the word cross. I was blown away by what was sent. Also should mention, the "sketches" that were sent to me, weren't even sketched out. 2 of the images are necklaces and the other 3 were cut and pasted from other images, one with a Shutterfly watermark on it. And now, I won't be getting my memorial tattoo. That's what I waited over a month for! A photoshopped flash page. Thanks for nothing Sofia... read more

Came here in April 2019 for two pieces. Receptionist was wonderful. Place is funky and vibe-y. My tattoo artist- Nick- was not really fun or kind. He did a nice job, but he seemed annoyed by my questions and the fact that I disagreed where I wanted the tattoo placed. He wasn't friendly during the tattoo and barely said goodbye as he vanished as soon as he completed the job. Against my better judgement I still have him a 50% tip. The receptionist had to call him back upstairs so I could give him his tip. I should have not tipped him as generously as I did but I wanted to show hin that he should just be kind and warm to all his clients. I now have a new tattoo artist and she is making a lot of money off me so he lost out. Sadly I can't recommend him, but friends of mine still go here and have great experiences with other artists. I wish I stood up for myself the day this all went down but I didn't want to make a scene or feel any more uncomfortable than I already did. read more

Got my first and second tattoo here from Giulia (who no longer works there). Overall they made these sometimes painful experiences so easy and comfortable. Which I believe is very important considering the permanent art. The rest of the artists work is beautiful and I would still continue to go there if my artist was still there. Highly recommend. read more

Unicorn Ink - Pandaren. Tribute tattoo for brother in law - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

Unicorn is a refreshing break from the other tattoo shops around Providence. I was ecstatic to find Unicorn online and even happier with my decision to get ink here after going in for a consultation visit. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The atmosphere fun, yet calm, something I greatly appreciate when I am getting tattooed. I went in with a few images and talked with Greg, the owner. We talked about ideas, scheduling, price and then he said he would get back to me within the week with a few drawings. He was timely and professional. Listened to my ideas and drew up a beautiful piece. When I went back for my actual appointment, Greg was not only considerate of his customer, but extremely efficient and neat with his work. I am extremely happy with every aspect of this shop and its employees! I would highly recommend Unicorn Ink to anyone looking to get tattooed in PVD. read more
