Absolutely love love Have Hope Tattoo. Amy has done such a wonderful job on all of my tattoos and really takes the time to make sure her clients are heard and respected. The prices are very reasonable and everyone there makes sure to be approachable and professional!I make sure to recommend this place to family and friends and they have had positive experiences as well!
I had an appointment today with Kristen, best experience ever. We had previously met to discuss my memorial piece and to say she nailed it is an understatement. She has mad skills and made my vision a reality! We talked the whole session, and I was so comfortable and at peace. Amy and Nick are wonderful too, everyone is friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like you are at home. The shop is clean and inviting, once you try this shop, I promise that you will never go anywhere else for a tattoo.
Amazing experience here. Got my first tattoo with Amy and she was so awesome. Did an amazing job couldn’t be happier with how my tattoo turned out!! This place is an amazing vibe and just so relaxing definitely will be returning.
This is by far the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. From scheduling an appointment all the way to getting the tattoo itself. Both Amy and krystin are super professional and friendly and are great artists. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Amy earlier today and from my first time meeting her yesterday I knew that she’d be a new long term artist for me. The business is clean, very professional from the initial consultation to the actual tattoo and after, it smells amazing in there, and this was my first tattoo experience that an artist actually conversed with me while tattooing. I loved my experience there and will be going back for more. Also I can’t forget Nick the first person to greet me when I came in he’s also great and beyond helpful. Keep being great you guys see you again soon.
Such a great experience! Amy is very understanding and gracious as well as extremely kind and professional. She does great work and is very careful to maintain a safe, clean and friendly environment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get a first time tat or otherwise. We will certainly be back, this is our new go-to tattoo.
This is the tattoo spot you have been looking for. Look no further. Amy is a phenomenal tattoo artist. I can not think of anyway the experience could have been better.I wanted to cover up an old tattoo from 20 years ago and Amy did not disappoint. Ill let the pics speak for themselves. Genuine good people.
I got my first tattoo here a couple days ago, and Kristen was AWESOME!!! Super down-to-earth and relatable, and the whole process was easy and comfortable from start to finish. She did a great job!!! The shop seemed small but was kept very clean, definitely planning on coming back for future tattoos :D
I recently had the pleasure of getting my very first tattoo done by Amy I couldnt be happier with the experience!! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail in the workspace. Throughout the entire session, Amys professionalism and great personality made the whole experience very enjoyable. We had a great time chatting and her positive energy made me forget I was even getting a tattoo! My sister and I had an amazing experience and love the work she did for us!!I would highly recommend Have Hope Ct to anyone looking for a skilled and friendly tattoo shop that provides not only top-notch work, but also a clean, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Amy is a wonderful artist. She is very professional, and really puts her heart and soul into her work. She is very easy to talk to and will do everything she can to make your experience with her nothing short of positive. Definitely someone I would recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Kristen is awesome. She paid attention to what I wanted. She was very polite and professional. Her work is outstanding. I would recommend this place 5 stars. Very clean. People are kind. I have so much great stuff to say about Have Hope
Kristen is absolutely FANTASTIC!! She understood my vision and was spot on with the design. I was her first infinity tattoo, and I got so many compliments. She is very professional. She has done my two newest tattoos. Im definitely going back for more. Thinking of getting new artwork, she is your gal!!! Thank you, Kristen, for your talent and for bringing my vision to light.
Have Hope is honestly amazing. Amy is so welcoming and talented, I had an amazing experience. She absolutely knows how to create a warm atmosphere, and she was so supportive while creating what I jokingly call my trauma tattoo, listening to my story and creating something beautiful for me. Love her work, and if I get another tattoo, Im absolutely going back.
Where do I begin? If 6 stars were an option I’d put it. Shop is very manicured and welcoming ran by Amy herself. Booking an appointment with her was stress-free. Staff is also super welcoming from her boyfriend Nick to her apprentice Laura. Laura is never shy to crack jokes or uplift your mood. The detail and linework were exactly what I envisioned. If you’re thinking about that next tattoo, see Amy!
I have been getting tattooed by amy since april 2022 and i have 8 tattoos now. this is the most heart warming place you can go to. the people here are amazing. as soon as you walk in the door you are immediately greeted and amy makes sure you love your design and shows you and helps you make any adjustments you want. i have been able have such a good relationship with amy to the point where i walk in and we can just discuss our lives and everything we’ve missed since my last tattoo appointment. on top of the amazing atmosphere that is here, the tattoos are AMAZING. amy will check up and make sure you’re doing okay and you’re comfortable while getting tattoos. amy and nick are always super generous and welcoming whenever we come in. these tattoos have exceeded my expectations every single time and i’m forever grateful for this place and these people.
For many years, I have been planning a sleeve, but couldnt get it planned out. Amy took my initial idea and created an amazing collage of my interests, including a horse, butterfly, hummingbird, roses, calla lillies and even a few adorable ladybugs. If you are looking for a great experience along with amazing art work, then Amy is your girl. She sincerely cares about her clients and quickly grasped my style so her advice was completely on target. Book your next ink appointment with Amy, you will NOT be disappointed. Ive attached pictures of our work in progress and cant wait for my next session.
I got my first tattoo here with Amy and I cannot recommend her enough! She was super kind and professional, and made the process of getting my first-ever tattoo so comfortable. She walked me through the whole process like a pro, including aftercare. The shop is quiet, chill, clean, and just has immaculate vibes. Everyone is friendly and timely. Amy’s work is also fantastic! I’m beyond satisfied with my tattoo and I want her to do another next time I’m in town. To top it all off, she also gave us the name of an awesome pho restaurant, where we got lunch after the tattoo session. If you’re looking for a tattoo artist in Connecticut and want someone who’s an absolute pleasure to work with, look no further.
Amy is great! She is very friendly, welcoming, and talented. The process of booking the tattoo was easy, and I felt super comfortable in the shop. Very clean and professional. Definitely recommend!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amy for three of my four tattoos. She and Kristen both do excellent work and are incredibly professional and warm. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fifteenth, you’ll have a safe, comfortable and welcoming experience. Looking forward to more! :)
Amy & Nick are just so wonderful. Very welcoming, compassionate, caring & fabulous to their clients. Def. Interested in getting to know you & go above & beyond.When I say clean!!!!! I mean clean!!!!!! Fully stocked with state of the art equipment & product that is necessary in the care & cleanliness of what’s needed to properly care for a new tattoo.Studio is quaint & very comfortable. Mega clean!!!!!!!! Private tattoo rooms for a more personal experience.Can’t recommend Amy enough. She is a very professional artist/shop owner and super amazing at her game! Met her apprentice is she is so very friendly & approachable. Nick is a great front end staff/owner. Very knowledgable, engaging & just a great guy.
.I am blown away by what good job Amy did in transforming 2 faded hand tattoos into a work of art that Ill be able to enjoy every day. I basically let Amy use her own discretion and she is a true artist. She doesnt use a heavy hand and I basically had no pain. I really wasnt looking to have another tattoo but after her work I think I might move forward and get one. Im happy to recommend this business.
This was the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. Not exaggerating. Amy, Laura, and Nick were extremely warm and welcoming. I felt so comfortable during my appointment and enjoyed chatting with all of them. Amy is extremely skilled at designing/tattooing and was very detailed in the piece she did for me. I am extremely pleased with the end result. Absolutely recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.
I had a great experience today at Have Hope Tattoo! Amy was professional and personable! The tattoo I wanted came out amazing and I couldn’t be any more satisfied. The atmosphere was very calm. Amy made me very comfortable and we had great conversation as well.
Amy and Nick are fantastic people. The atmosphere is very clean and accommodating. Amy is an incredibly talented artist and it shows in the time and care she puts into each piece. I cant wait to work with Have Hope more in the future. 10/10 would recommend.
Amy is one of the best artists I have ever worked with!! She has now done two different pieces with me. They were very personal designs and she was so respectful and helpful in creating exactly what I wanted. The studio is very clean and a relaxing, safe space. I will be going to her for my future pieces for sure!!
So excited to have found them! Amy did an amazing job on our tattoos and we had a great time talking with her. She is very professional and friendly. The studio is set up in a way where privacy can be achieved with the option of a closed room. Also since its by appointment only, there wont be random people coming in and awkwardly watching you get tattooed. Theyre definitely fostering a great studio and prioritizing customer comfort with amazing service! Well be returning (:
This was my second tattoo but my first big piece, and Amy made me feel comfortable the entire 3.5 hours. I had an immediate connection with her from the way she patiently answered all my questions and artistically brought my piece to life. Throughout the session, she shared so many personal stories that showed why she started this business. Its truly a passion project for her that goes beyond the art.The three women-owned businesses in this building are all amazing; I highly recommend checking them all out. Get yourself a tattoo from Amy, hop over to Luna for a dope piercing by Jamie, then have yourself a fun photo sesh of your new body art at the photography studio next door full of the most ecclectic, gorgeous collection of accessories and props.
If you want a great tattoo in a clean, comfortable, inclusive, and friendly environment-- look no further. Have Hope is it. Amy did an amazing tattoo for me and my adult child. Mad skills!! Its beautiful and it is healing great. I really appreciated Amy and Lauras kindness and humor. I will definitely be going back.
Amy is a very professional owner and artist! Her bedside manners are great. She makes the process a breeze. Also may I add extremely talented! I will be returning for more work done by her. We’re very pleased with our tattoos and experience.
I am so glad I found Have Hope! Kristen did my tattoo. She was friendly professional and listened! I found everyone so nice and helpful. The shop is very clean. Being woman owned and the tattoo artists are all women was a huge plus for me.
Im glad I found Amys studio last summer. Amy did an amazing job with my freehand shoulder/arm tattoo. I really appreciated our long talk during my session, we laughed, I shed some good tears and got a bomb ass tattoo!! Very welcoming and I have told several of my gfs to check you out! Ive received so many compliments. Thanks again Amy. I will be back this year to start my left arm 😳Highly Recommended!!!
Such a great experience with these guys! From initial scheduling to the actual tattoos themselves, I couldn’t have been happier. I called on a Friday and by Sunday afternoon was all set! I had one tattoo that was poorly done the first time (by another business) - and Stien brought it back to life and made it look exactly how I was envisioning. She also touched up a 15 year old tattoo with a couple additions and did a fantastic job. She explained everything in detail, listened, and was just overall the best! I will definitely go back again. Highly recommend!!
Such an amazing business! Amy is so wonderful. Her art work is fantastic. She did a memorial tattoo for my dog that passed 3 months ago. She did everything I wanted and I LOVE it. Im so happy with how it came out. Will highly recommend to eveyryone.
Amy did an amazing job on a tattoo that means very much to me. She was professional, welcoming, and a pleasure to work with. Ill be going to Have Hope Tattoo for all my future pieces. The shop was clean, staff was amazing and the overall experience was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!!
Getting a tattoo done by Amy is always a great experience! She is spot on capturing what I want in my tattoo. Her shop is calming and super clean! She has done quite a few tattoos for me and still many more to come. If your looking for a very knowledgeable and great ARTIST then this is definitely the place to come! Shes also super accommodating for appts which is great if you have a busy schedule. I highly recommend this place over and over!
I had my kids names tattooed on me today. Im so thankful to have run into Amy outside the tattoo shop because not only being tattooed by her she is an amazing person!! Very professional and a VERY good tattoo artist. Extremely clean, organized and perfectionist (which I appreciate). I will definitely be back and would recommend Amy to ANYONE looking to get a tattoo!! Thanks again Amy youre a great person and tattoo artist!!
Amy and Laura create one of the most comforting/relaxing atmospheres to get tattooed in. I’ve known Amy for at least 17 years and to watch her talents and business grow is so amazing and she definitely deserves it. I’m so happy to have a piece of her art forever. Great experience for whatever art you’re looking to get. Will definitely make the 7 hour drive again to get tattooed by Amy.
Had my first tattoo in many years with Kristen and I am soooo happy! The shop is wonderful and everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Kristen captured my ideas perfectly and I couldnt be happier! I will be booking with her again asap
We have visited this shop twice and will be going back soon! From beginning to end this shop is absolutely amazing, easy booking and great communication! The shop is inviting and clean and all are beyond friendly. They calmed my daughters nerves for her first tattoo and answered all her questions as the session progressed. Little time passed before we visited for a session again with Kristen. We had great conversation with the staff and even shared stories and pictures of the past. Great atmosphere, great people, we have found our tattoo home.
I absolutely love Amy and Have Hope. Amy has made several beautiful permanent makeup tattoos on me, including my eyeliner and powder brows. Shes a top tier person at her craft, and makes sure youre getting exactly what you envisioned.Both services have been amazingly easy pain wise, and as someone with insane allergies she was able to work through the procedure in a way that made me comfortable at all points and allowed me the breaks I needed.The shop is welcoming, snacks and drinks were available to me, and everyone is so professional and polite. The studio was clean, as was her setup (totally verifiable, as Im also in the industry!) Everything has healed beautifully, and despite me having a complimentary touch up appointment still upcoming for my eyebrows, they have never in my life looked better!11/10 This is the place to be.Photos are healed, wearing no makeup. Originally my eyebrows were very patchy and sparse.
I LOVE this place! Amy creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Her attention to detail is uncanny. She is so personal and we have great conversations! I am so happy to support this place and this artist!
I had a tattoo done by an artist in Miami and after only 3 years it was unreadable and Amy got in here and brought my tattoo back to life so happy with how it came out!
I could not be more pleased with my experience at Have Hope. Amy is both a wonderful human and an incredible artist, and she executed my vision for the tattoo flawlessly while simultaneously exchanging meaningful conversation. And Nick provided excellent customer service and conversation, as well. I highly recommend this place, and I sincerely look forward to returning.
Just had the most PHENOMENAL experience with Amy! Such an open and affirming studio. I told her what I wanted and she made my vision come to life. I’ve been getting tattooed for almost twenty years, and I am supremely impressed by the service and the talent. Definitely book here, you won’t be disappointed!
I am so, so happy to have found Amy! Amazing tattoo artist who truly wants you to be comfortable and feel empowered getting a tattoo! I am only disappointed to be moving away without being able to get more tattoos by her! Highly recommend!
I won a gift certificate for a tattoo and Amy did it for me. I instantly became hooked on the work she does. I just had my 3rd one done working on my sleeve. I give her and idea of what I want and let her do the rest and she nails it every time to exactly what I had in mind. Shes down to earth, very friendly and compassionate about what she does. You wont regret having her bring your ideas to life.
Have Hope is such a beautiful studio. Amy is absolutely wonderful and so kind. This is a absolute safe space to be tattooed. I had the honor of being able to watch it from day one and grow into the beautiful studio it is today. Thank you for providing a safe space and creating beautiful pieces for every persons story! I can’t wait to return!-Cole
Amy is extremely professional, kind hearted, caring and so SO talented! She drew up and placed every piece of my half sleeve that is still in progress.If you want to go to a tattoo shop and feel comfortable and welcome, this is the place to be!
Amy is absolutely amazing! I have had her as a tattoo artist since 2018 and she has been phenomenal. She takes so much time into drawing up the designs that we come up with and making sure everything fits the style that you’re going for!!! Her work station is always so clean and organized. I recommend her to everyone looking to get a new tattoo, or even continue adding onto what they have already!!!
Could not recommend this shop enough...Amy was wonderful to work with from booking process, to designing the most beautiful sunflower spine tattoo, to tattooing it with as little pain as possible! Not only extremely talented, but an amazing person to talk with as well :)
Amy is the most trustworthy and professional artist I’ve been to. She goes to great lengths to make sure you are happy with your design and feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I will be a lifelong client!
Got my third tattoo done here and I absolutely love it! Studio is so clean and the artists are so sweet. Kristen did a phenomenal job, it was exactly what I wanted. I’ll definitely be back! :)
Amy is kind and professional. Very happy with her work and very satisfied with my first tattoo! Definitely coming back to her.
Got a tattoo by Amy and had such an amazing experience! Made it a point to get to know me a little bit and was such an awesome person. Everyone there was very sweet and I will definitely be back!
I wish I could give more stars, because I so would. Amy is such a kind, caring, talented and creative artist. I felt heard and comfortable the entire time I was there, which is super important to me. Have Hope Tattoo is the best.
Amy was drawing on her tablet while I was serving her dinner one night at the restaurant I work at. I’ve been wanting a new tattoo of my children’s birth flowers but the gentleman who did the last 2 tattoos didn’t exactly give me what I wanted. I asked her if it would be something she would be able to do and she automatically said yes and showed me some examples! Beautiful artwork. She was on time, clean, friendly, and I was so comfortable being around her, especially during covid times. I am already thinking of new tattoos I’ve been wanting so I can go back to her. I have also raved about her professionalism to everyone I come across who compliments my tattoo or mentions they are thinking of getting one. Female owned. Female artist. It’s amazing.
First time getting a tattoo and felt very anxious but right when I walked in the environment was very comforting and looked clean. Amy is amazing!
Amy is kind, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. Ive gotten 4 tattoos from her (so far!) and have enjoyed every visit!
Always a pleasure to see Amy! She has done both mine and my brothers tattoo!! Very clean and talented!! Highly recommend her!
Amy is very kind and professional. love both of the tattoos I have gotten from her. highly recommended.
Great work, very nice people. love the work will definitely recommend
This was my first tattoo, and Kristen walked me through the steps and checked in to make sure I was doing okay. The tattoo came out so good, I will be back for future tattoos!
Great people that work here and the manager is a super nice guy. Good at what they do and always give me good tattoos.
Amazing service!! people are phenomenal and very welcoming. Just got a great tattoo, already booked my next appointment, Highly recommend!
All my tattoos are done by Amy and have come out amazing! highly recommend getting body art done here!
The most welcoming, relaxing tattoo shop I’ve ever been to! I got my elbow tattooed & can’t wait to add more to my arm.
Absolute best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! Super chill environment and amazing artwork that will last a lifetime!
Amy was amazing and was very thorough! She answered all my questions & I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you guys!
Awesome atmosphere, great people. Will definitely recommend this place for anyone getting their first tattoo
I had a few questions and spoke to an employee who was very unhelpful and dismissive.
Amy and the staff here are amazing , very professional and dedicated to giving you the best tattoo experience you can have
Very professional business, Amy is an excellent artist and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome experience!
Amy does amazing work and the customer service was above and beyond!
