Washburn Tattoo — Local services in Saint Johnsbury

Both me and my fiance have had very negative experiences here, and We also have family who have had trouble here too. He's had multiple piercings done here alone with a tattoo, All the piercings have become infected within 24 hours or have been incorrectly placed. The tattoo he got, much like mine, the artist went to deep on the tattoo. Along with this, My tattoo didn't look like what i had given for a design and not only wouldn't modify the original print to make it fit where I wanted it, but also placed it awkwardly.

My family and I have been coming to Washburn for years, since before they moved to their new shop.

We started coming back when Izzy was an apprentice (she now has her own shop). We’ve had pieces done by Bruce, Isabel, Tristan, and Wes and are absolutely pleased with every single one!
