The Fine Line Tattoo Studio

I went in for my first tattoo and had a great experience at Fine Line. Melissa (who did my tattoo) was extremely nice and professional, and Mark was great. They're super talented, and really seem to love their job. While I was there, several other customers came in for various jobs -- touch-ups, simple tattoos, tounge piercings, and even a woman who had only an idea in her head of what she wanted. The staff was courteous without seeming fake, and made everyone feel comfortable. Most importantly, the artwork was awesome! Melissa did a great job, and I'll definitely be going back again. more

in regards to Dizzle- what people have to understand about this shop, and many other tattoo artists, is that they don't have "customer service". they don't "sell". you walk in, tell them what you want, and they do it. it's not a really hard concept to grasp, but if someone goes in all unsure, and expecting the artist to choose, or sell them on something, or talk them into something, that's not going to happen there. i have had over 45 individual pieces done by "the guy with the slicked back hair" AKA Mark Roberts, and am THRILLED with every one. after going there a few times, i got to know both Mark and Bill (who has since moved out of the country) and always gotten great work and great advice. if you want a great piece of work at a fair price, go there- you'll get exactly what you pay for. if you want customer service, go to the wal mart help counter, because they're there to say "how cani help you?", not to give you a wonderful tattoo. when going to a tattoo shop, a person should ALWAYS be more interested in the skills of the artist than the way the artist answers the phone or greets customers.... honestly, i wouldn't mind if an artist told me to F--- off, just as long as i get a great tattoo! Pros: Awesome shop Cons: they won't coddle the whiny babies more

Okay yo, person who said Fine Line is bad? You're crazy. Fine Line is a great place. Mark is not rude or corny. He's a fun and nice guy. His tattooing is gorgeous. And his piercings are fine. Thay're not idiots and they do know what they're doing. It's great I got my belly button and nose done there and i just turned 15. Don't think they're bad because you got one tattoo there. I highly recommend Fine Line, There are more good reviews than bad, So majority rules. :] Pros: Evereything Cons: Nothing more

this was by far the worst tattoo parlor i have experienced. The people are unprofessional, customer service was bad (if you wanna call it customer service) and the guy with slicked back hair and the beard is a rude, corny guy whose artwork is just plain awful. I regret getting work done at fine line. there are plenty of other shops in CT. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! Flats in groton is good, as well as Transcend in Branford and Green Man In West Hartford. STAY AWAY FROM FINE LINE! I now have a tattoo that was overrpriced and would have been much better had i done my research and not gone to these idiots. BE SMART PEOPLE!! Those positive reviews must have been done by the artists themselves so dont listen. Pros: No appointment needed(b/c no one wants work done from them!) Cons: Everything else more

i got my first tattoo on saturday and it was a great experiance. the staff in fine line are wonderful i was really nervous and anxious and i almost chickened out but they made it a really good and wonderful experiance for me i am actually going back soon to get atleast 3 more they are wonderful i really would recommend this to anyone looking to get a tattoo. they use single needles to get more detail by the way and i didnt really experiance a lot of pain as i thought i would Pros: really great and had a good atmosphere Cons: nothing about this shop was bad more

Mark Roberts is by far the best tattoo artist and body piercer I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I have stepped into many shops, however none made me feel as comfortable as Fine Line. Mark has a great personality that really eases your nerves and makes the sometimes painful experience, not so painful. To be honest, I forgot getting a tattoo hurt. Pros: very clean, personal experience, fair pricing more
