From the moment I contacted the shop, to seeing the finished image, the entire process was professional and was an absolute pleasure. Xavier took my idea and brought it to new heights I couldn't have even imagined. The tribute to my brother he did for me means more to me than I can explain, with a level of detail far beyond my initial expectation. I know the work he did would make my brother proud. In addition to the quality of work I received, the shop was immaculate and he was a pleasure to talk to during my session which lasted roughly 9-10 hours. There is no doubt in my mind that Xavier and his shop will be my first choice for my next tattoo. Thank you!

I can't even begin to describe how incredible my experience with Xavier was he completely exceeded…read moreevery expectation I had! I drove down from Maine for a tattoo, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole process. But from the moment I walked into his studio, all of my nerves disappeared. I was so comfortable and impressed that I ended up going back for a continuation three weeks later. Xavier is not only a true professional but also an incredibly welcoming and friendly person. He made me feel at ease instantly, taking the time to chat with me, not only listen to my ideas but also advocate for his, and make sure we were on the same page before starting. He explained everything, step-by-step, and answered all my questions with patience and care, which made me feel so comfortable and confident in his abilities. As for his artistry, WOW. Xavier is an absolute genius when it comes to realism and portraits. The level of detail in his work is mind-blowing. The portrait I got is a tribute to a my beloved Lux Who we lost in April and it's so lifelike, it well surpassed my expectations. Every line, every shadow, every subtle nuance- it's perfect. You can tell Xavier doesn't just tattoo, he creates art. The precision and care he puts into his work are unmatched. I honestly couldn't be happier with the final result. Xavier's talent is out of this world, and the whole experience, from his professional yet laid-back demeanor to the incredible artwork he creates, was worth every mile I drove. If you're looking for someone who truly specializes in realism and portraits, and is authentic and down-to-earth Xclusive Ink is the place to go and Xavier or one of the incredible artists that work for him are unbeatable. I'll definitely be making the trip down again for my next tattoo--no question about it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Almost two years ago, I was visiting a friend in Connecticut when we randomly decided to get…read moretattoos. Total spur-of-the-moment decision. We called around, found a spot with an opening, and that's how we ended up walking into a tattoo shop -- and how I met Lo. From the start, Lo was super kind, patient (especially since I was very nervous), and walked me through the whole process so clearly. That first experience was so good, I followed him on Instagram right after. Fast forward a few months -- I was back in Connecticut and craving more ink. I looked him up and found out he was starting his own shop: Time Out Tattoo. Just last week, I went back again and got a bigger piece -- something I would only trust Lo to do. That's how confident I am in his work. The vibe at Time Out Tattoo is amazing. The artists? Talented and genuinely welcoming. It's a space for everyone -- girls, guys, gays, theys, and everyone in between. Whether you're looking for something delicate, bold, or completely custom, I highly recommend Time Out Tattoo. I don't even live in Connecticut... but it's the only place I'll get tattooed now. Huge shoutout to Lo -- thank you for creating such a special space and for being an artist people can actually trust.

These guys are in a new spot. Happy they are able to do business again…read more The average tattoo shop is clean, this place is clean and following all the guidelines required for them to operate their business. No corners are being cut and that certainly eases the minds of their patrons. The reason for 4 stars is because I'm not the one getting the tattoo unfortunately but am able to review based on what I see . This is how small businesses stay in business. Good reviews and repeat clientele.
