True North Tattoos and Piercings 177 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04330

"Callie was wonderful for my piercing. She was very clear about what she was doing every step of the way, and made me feel very at ease. The shop is a great space, and the jewelry selection is excellent."

"Went to true north hoping to get a tattoo that I really wanted and was my first time going so I had no idea what to expect. I got Amanda and she made my experience awesome! Brought my idea to life and it came out amazing ! Would recommend anyone to go to true north, great environment and great people!!"

"I was lucky to get the owner Garreth for my walk in experience. He was forward with me and very knowledgeable when it came to configuring my design idea into something that was more practical and could show his talent without it changing over time. The shop is very clean and brand new as they are fresh into a new location. I was happy to be worked on next to Cee as he was very funny and professional, I recommend booking an appointment ahead of time with either him or the owner! The rest of the staff seemed pretty nice. Definitely a busy walk in shop experience, i would get there right when they open to claim a spot in the day. Lots of staff most look young, very interesting conversations with clients which is expected in that atmosphere, and why I go to private shops also."

"I’ve been here multiple times, and every time I have a great experience. Staff is incredibly kind and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable. I’ve been pierced here as well as had jewelry changes. The jewelry is amazing and when getting pierced, I felt safe, secure and that the staff payed attention to me in case I didn’t feel well, as well as being patient. Clean, professional, and the place (previously and now where they currently moved) is beautifully decorated and organized. I recommend this place to everyone I know. I live over an hour away and will still drive all the way to get the kind of service I get here!"

"The artists here are amazing. My artist-Amanda, went above and beyond her jib title. She listened to my story, my ideas, then took her talent and designed two pieces. I was torn, I chose one and also saved the other for a later time. She was very informative of her preferred method and I was eager to let her have free run. I have never done that before on my previous 12 tattoos. I am not disappointed. She did the black lines first. After they healed, I made an appointment for color. She was booked out two months but because she was as eager as I to finish, she made an appointment on her day off for me. First session was 5 hours, second was almost 8 hrs. I am more than satisfied with my tattoo. I can’t put in words what this means for me. It is a special piece. Something I had been working on for over a year in my head. She mastered it. Her boss and co- workers are equally talented. Each one has their own unique expression. There are piercers here as well who know what they’re doing. Safe. Sanitary. Comfortable. Worth every dollar know matter how much you spend. Walk ins are welcome- worth the wait in line. I will be using only this shop for all my future ink work."
