Any good Tattoo shops in RI?

July 31, 2007 7:56 AM

Looking for tattoo shops in Rhode Island (preferably with websites showcasing their shops and art) My google-foo must be off today because I can find stuff, but mostly it leads me to the dreaded 404. Any help RI Mefiers?

I've only gone to Electric Ink in East Providence, but goting to their website, I notice the artist I used last, and really liked, is no longer there. So I'm trying to keep my options open and look around.

Hopefully I'll be going to get some ink this weekend .

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

Anchor Steam in Newport does a lot of really nice work. Both Jen Clinch Guertin and Bill Byers have done large pieces on friends of mine. Said friends were very happy with the results.

Yeah, Newport's a bit far from Providence (in RI distance units), but there should be a couple downtown and at least one in Middletown. Alternatively, there's this list.

Best answer: Call Electric Ink and ask them where your artist went. Probably not too far.

Check out Black Lotus Black Lotus in North Kingstown. I have a tattoo by Joe Romeiro and I was really happy with his work.

I love me some Bill Byers from Anchor Steam. He's done three pieces on me, and not only is he amazingly good, but he also has fantastic bed-side manner.
