"Came here with my daughter for her first tattoo a couple years ago. I was still considering what I wanted, this came to fruition and I love it! Noel does awesome work! Highly recommended."

"I got my first tattoo in February 2021. It was my first, and I was so nervous to trust anyone doing a tattoo with so much meaning to me. Noel was exceptional as he explained the process with me and was very patient with my placement choice as he re-did the stencil a couple of times for me. He was very comforting throughout the whole process and I could not have imagined going to anyone else! Will be booking for my next!"

"I was living in old saybrook last summer and wanted to find an artist who was consistent, and one i could be consistent with as well. Prior to Noel, i had never been to a “legit” studio, and the ones that were legit had really bad vibes and i was just all around uncomfortable. Noel however cared about the art he was putting on my body. he helped adjust sizing to certain tattoos that would have blown out down the line, as well as made tiny little changes to tattoos i wanted that others had to set mine out from the crowd. He will always send you to his mirror to make sure you LOVE the placement of his work, and his overall kindness always goes the extra mile. We need more artists like you man. I have not been back to him in over a year but i have also not gotten any sort of ink in over a year. I only trust him moving forward. Attached are two of my favorite tattoos he did for me- however all six he has done are just as stunning"

"Noel is the only tattoo artist I'll ever go to. He's such a nice person and so creative. I will recommend him to all my friends and family."

"I first started going to Noel close to a year ago. He's now done 4 pieces for me. My first encounter with Noel, he made me feel very comfortable and demonstrated his attention to detail and desire to accommodate my desires. I first met Noel when my friend and I went in together for matching tattoos, and he was extremely welcoming. Noel takes time and pride in every piece of his work, no matter how big or small. The shop is also very clean and a comfortable, small environment. I've found Noel to be one of the most, if not the only, artist to make me feel comfortable in such setting, which I have also expressed to him on several occasions. Not only is Noel a friendly guy, but his work is also phenomenal. Since meeting Noel and having him tattoo me, I now know I will be returning to him for all my future pieces. Hands down will recommend Noel- no hesitation."
