Forecastle Tattoo

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Jay. I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted and Jay was incredibly patient and helpful during the process of figuring it out. He is thorough and truly wants you to love your tattoo! I will definitely be returning.

Great tat & experience! It was a pleasure to meet Jay & have him do my Ink. Hes a true artist!!

Got my first tattoo done here a few weeks ago by Sam. Could not recommend this place more, after a few miscommunications Sam went out of his way to make sure I was able to get my tattoo at my scheduled time even with technical difficulties going on! Will definitely be returning.

Jay was amazing! It was my first ever tattoo and he made me feel so comfortable with the whole experience. He answered all of my questions and my tattoo turned out amazing! Will be going back for others.

Great place very cleanly and friendly. The artistry is next level if you are looking for great artwork come here. Thank you Sam blown away!

Went here last summer to get some new ink done, something special to me. Jay worked back and forth with me on the design via messenger since I was coming in from out of state. Absolutely love my ink, Jay has a good touch and his patient with clients!

I never been in but i have seen there work.and it was.flawless. looked like his flesh was falling off and revealing a robotic arm underneath like a cyborg was.so.cool i was.like what was that they toldwhere.they got it from.and how.much it costed still so cool people can draw and do that i neber could be able to ever draw like that thats some next level.stuff !!!

Amazing. Professional. Great music and atmosphere. Sam had a great sense of humor. Cant wait to go back!

I put in a quote and then get told I have to wait 3-4 weeks just for to hear back about the design nah not my cup

Jay fit me in for a little tattoo a few weeks ago and it was such a good experience! Easy going company, professional, and he kills script. My tattoo is healing really nicely and Im super pleased. 10/10 would go back if Im back in the area in the future!

Absolutely the best. My only regret is that I have only 5 stars to give. I sat in Sams chair for 4.5 hours and he was a real professional. He really took my input on the design of my tattoo. My tattoo turned out great. Jay was also really nice. If you have the desire to get an awesome tattoo, especially if you want a comic book or video game tattoo theme, go with these guys. They are the most passionate group of artists around.

I just got some work from Jay. Im not biased because Ive known him for a decade, or that his former band listed me in the thank you sections on their cds. or that bands he and I have been associated with worked together a bunch. none of that. I have a bias because I think Jay is an amazing artist. I have him a project and he crushed it. he went above what I expected. mind you the tattoo I got came from a nickname one of our band buddies gave me, and I wanted him to put HIS twist on the concept. people... when you tell your artist to do their thing... let them. this shop is ultra clean, relaxed, and loaded with talent. if I didnt know this person prior, I would be just as thrilled with the whole experience. attitude, professionalism, art quality, price. I have all positive things to say about this shop. I have been getting inked for 32 years. Im not easy to impress. this is a high quality shop with people that MAKE IT THAT WAY. completely chill. completely professional. this is EXACTLY the condition I want when I get ink. relaxed. go check these people out. METALKEVIN was there and gives ALL thumbs up

My husband and I stopped by on our anniversary wanting to get something small to commemorate the day. Jay greeted us and was so friendly and nice and made us feel welcome! His work was amazing and he was fun to talk to. He suggested a great little restaurant/brewery for dinner and even suggested the meal! It was fantastic, Jay! Thanks again!

I brought my daughter to see Rob today (her 18th birthday!) for her first tattoo. He was very kind and compassionate. He made sure she was comfortable and understood the whole process from set up to clean up. Throughout the tattoo he checked to make sure she was okay. I was really impressed by how much he truly seemed to care that her first tattoo experience was positive.The studio was clean and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend Rob and plan to see him again in the future!

Clean shop, got a chest tattoo started with Rob! What a great guy super personable! We talked for a couple days and Rob hand drew a piece for a cover up and its amazing couldnt ask for anything better! Super friendly and professional a real personable guy! Highly recommend going to see Rob! 10 out of 10!

They’re always super clean, friendly and comforting. The shop always smells sanitary. They go above and beyond to make sure the tattoo is exactly what you want & is placed where you love. Not to mention they’re very affordable compared to others in the area. I’ve seen Sam and Rob, both were awesome.

I got a tattoo from Sam today and lets just say Awesome!! He helped me with design and ideas which Ive been struggling with for 4 years. A talented and creative guy I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!! No matter what you need for ink go see Sam at Forecastle Tattoo in Bangor... Its worth the trip!!!

Absolutely amazing experience with Derek! He saved a piece that I wasnt in love with, taking time, precision and attention to detail which was seriously lacking in the piece. I was actually embarrassed about the piece prior to Derek reworking it. Now, Im so extremely happy and cannot rave enough about his talent! Im scheduled to return and am anxiously excited to sit with Derek again!!!

Got a tattoo from rob yesterday that I’m extremely happy with. Rob was very welcoming and made it comfortable for me. He also offered to touch up another tattoo from another artist I had that was fading and now looks ten times better. Will definitely be going back for my next tattoo

Absolutely the best experience I have had in a shop ever. Best tattoo experience, Jay is an amazing artist and was able to make an extremely meaningful idea come to life. Will definitely be back.

Go and see Rob at Forecastle tattoo! Ive had 2 tattoos done in the past 2 weeks and am thoroughly impressed. I got a great feeling walking into the place. I highly recommend checking them out.

Jay is amazing. I had reservations on how I wanted my tattoo and he gave me good advice that eventually led to getting it done perfectly. Absolutely love it.

Sam did an amazing job on a cover up for a wrist tattoo I had. Definitely a master of his craft with an obvious love for detail, especially the little details that add so much to his work.

My new favorite. Sam is beyond talented and the shop itself is comfortable with a variety of interesting and cool things decorating it. The whole experience could not have been better.
