Compass Rose Ink: Custom Tattoos

"I honestly can't say enough great things about Keith at Compsss Rose. His fine line artwork is the best I've seen. He just did my 14th tattoo, and I wish he could have done them all. He is very good. Book him if you can."

"I’ve had a couple small tattoos done years ago but after my husband passed away there’s been so many experiences with ladybugs. One will show up for almost every holiday. My grand daughter spotted one last Xmas on the light over the dinner table. So we’ve decided it’s papa coming to check in on us. I had a couple different ideas on what I wanted. Keith was awesome, he never said anything negative about my ideas but so tastefully swayed me in just the right direction. He’s awesome!! A little quiet at first. Took me awhile to realize he’s concentrating so hard on the details then he warmed right up. I would recommend him to anyone. His space is spotless, plus his artwork is amazing."

"My sister and I had no issues at all booking an appointment. We got matching moon tattoos on the backside of our wrists. Matt is incredible! He was super knowledgeable and very sterile. He made sure that my sister and I were comfortable the entire time we were in his shop, despite being in his chair or not. I feel like we also got a free history lesson about Salem! Do yourself a favor and go see Matt! He will give you an incredible tattoo and experience. He is very very nice and accepting of ALL people."

"Never normally post reviews but Matt and his team definitely deserve one. I’ve been to a fair few tattoo parlours and compass rose was definitely one of the most comfortable and friendly. Booking an appointment was quick and easy, thank you Tracy. And once I turned up they made me feel right at home while they prepped. Matt made sure I was comfortable with the size and placement of the piece and periodically checked if I needed a break once we started. The piece came out even better than I expected and Matt’s skill is impeccable. I’ll definitely be back soon for more. If you’re looking for somewhere to get your first tattoo or your 20th I couldn’t recommend Compass Rose more."

"Great place, Matt is the guy I got a tattoo from, he's very easy to work with, he knows what he's doing too. He is a true artist, doesn't just do tattoo design. He draws comics on the side and is great at it. I got a tattoo from 8 years ago, and the color is still popping out. It's clear he uses top notch quality products. You got an urge for tattoo and you got ideas? Bring your ideas to Matt at Compass Rose, and he will bring it to reality. Go to Compass Rose on Main Street in Gloucester. Easy location and you can get great food in the many foodies surrounding the shop. Will make you want to come back for more."
