Capital City Tattoo LLC — Attraction in Concord

I am really not the type of person to write a negative review about anything, but I had such a terrible experience here with my piercing. My friend and I came in on Friday the 13th get piercings (which I know, I probably shouldn’t expect much from a cheaper piercing)- but both my friend and I have had terrible reactions. I have a ton of work done and plenty of piercings on my face, so I really didn’t think twice about getting my daith done. My friend got the same as me. We went into a really well reviewed tattoo shop after to get hers changed to some different jewelry, and the piercer insisted on taking hers out. He had me take a look, and the reason was because the piercing was done so close to the outside of the ear, you could see the bar through her skin. He let her know she couldn’t keep it in or change it because if it got stuck on something (clothing, hair, etc), it would literally rip out of her ear. I decided to leave mine in because it didn’t seem too bad and I’ve it for a while now and have developed THE worst infection I’ve ever had from a piercing. I went into my local shop that took my friends piercing out, and he immediately took it out, letting me know it was done pretty sloppily, super slanted, and done with the worst quality jewelry possible. I’m really disappointed by this place. Like I said, I’m not the type of person to write bad reviews, but I decided to come here because of all the positive ones and just want to let people know that not everyone had a fabulous experience. I would suggest maybe looking elsewhere...

Great experience! Savi was very professional but also personable. It's not always easy to achieve that balance! She told me right up front that she was an apprentice but I noticed that she didn't seem to need much reassurance. As she should, being an apprentice, she was overseen by her mentor who was close by and confirmed that everything was as it should be before she started - right down to the length of the needle. She had it all right, by the way. The tattoo sensation was...a tattoo. Not the white-knuckle pain of an unsupervised apprentice in Canada that never should have - but I digress. It felt the same as every other tattoo I've received from seasoned artists. She, herself, was really cool. She has the bartender vibe. We talked half the time and the other half wasn't awkward. She also checked in every once in a while to make sure I was ok. I guess people would want to know that everything was sterile that should be and that all precautions were taken to insure our safety. Check and check. All in all, really good experience. I would go to her again...

With a lot of research and time, I finally found the shop I wanted to get my first tattoo at and that was Capital City Tattoo in Concord Nh, and I had my heart set on the artist Faye. The reason being was because the tattoo I got there is a very important piece to me. It is a realism tiger tattoo with line work. And it is a memorial piece for my father who has passed. I saw Faye’s work and knew she was the one for the Job. She was very attentive to small details and had a very steady light hand. As well as experience in different styles. I was so overjoyed when she was able to turn my idea into a stunning Tattoo. personally believe her skill is beyond her years. Even though I was unaccompanied and nervous for my first tattoo. The second I stepped in I felt more than comfortable in the shop. The shop was beautiful and clean. I felt comfortable with Her and other artists who made it a very friendly environment. And I definitely will be back for future Tattoos! 10/10...
