I have been to this shop twice now for tattoos, each time I saw Sarah and she was amazing! We talked before hand about what I wanted and sent her some pictures. She was really good about telling me what would work and what wouldn’t. I completely trusted her professional opinion and could not wait until my actual appointment. The artwork and attention to detail was beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be any happier! I will definitely be going back for any future tattoos. The whole staff was very nice and professional as well as the shop itself being very clean and well put together. I highly recommend for anyone to check this place out!!
I had the most wonderful experience. I have been contemplating getting my eye brows micro bladed for a long time, as my eyebrows (or lack there of) were always a huge insecurity of mine. Kelly took the time to answer every question I had, walk me through the process before hand, was very meticulous in the mapping process and made sure everything was perfect and that I loved it. I can’t say enough how grateful I am of Kelly and her amazing work. She has boosted my confidence and went above and beyond my expectations! If you are even slightly considering getting your brows done, contact her!!!! I promise you won’t regret it.
Coming here was a recommendation and I was extremely pleased with the people and the talent they have to offer!! Great atmosphere and an overall comfortable feeling Kelly was AMAZING!!! This was my very first time getting my eyebrows micro bladed and I have absolutely NO regrets!! She is extremely talented, took her time, and the end result is flawless!! Kelly is very down to earth, easy to talk to, and will work with your ideas as well as provide professional suggestions. I highly recommend coming here and throwing out ideas on what you want....the artists will take care of the rest!!
I loved everything about my experience even the name of The Parlor! The owner is really cool and nice and I now consider them my go-to shop! I brought an idea and he turned it into something better than I had imagined! This will be my go-to from here on out! Thank you Andy for your professionalism and overall good spirit! My tattoo is now 3 years old wow time flies! It looks as good as day one!
Love this shop. Very clean. positive environment. Great artists. Vic has done most of my tattoos and he is very kind and understanding. Will always go here for my tattoos. Highly recommend
My daughter and I got our first tattoos recently from Kevin and we love them! The place was so clean and everyone was very nice! Such a chill atmosphere there! We are already talking about our next one!
Everybody here is so friendly and welcoming! I cant rave enough about Sarah she is just so amazing! She is so nice and easy to talk to while you are getting your tattoo done. Each of my three out of the four tattoos that I have were done by her and they all came out wonderful. She is also so professional by taking the time to resize and relocate the tattoo and takes such safe hygienic precautions. Plus, when I come to her with an idea/concept, on the day of the appointment she gives me 2 different versions of the tattoo to pick from which I love because it shows that she really cares about what you want for the final product.
I have been coming to this shop since 2011, and have had work done by many artists. The shop is always clean, professional, and welcoming. Getting my first tattoo was very nerve-wracking and this shop made it a great experience.Sarah is a great artist. Very easy to work with, friendly, and an all around amazing artist!!
Everyone was so nice. I followed kevin berube there from art for life then shark tank tattoo. They have amazing artist there and im glad kevin is there now
I was tattooed by Sarah, from the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. Everyone is very professional and ready to work when you walk in. Clean establishment!
I’ve been tattooed by Sarah on multiple occasions now and she will always be my go-to for new work. They’re extremely professional, clean and always welcoming to their clients.
I’ve been here twice to get two tattoos and the people there are awesome and do great work I won’t go anywhere else
They are only interested in money..they dont care about their customers..very dirty place, not professional at all ...this place needs the board of health called and they need to see for themselves
Expert artists with exceptional results. Justin is the Tattoo Wizard 11/10
I have been to many tattoo places but have gotten my last two tattoos here. Sarah is AMAZING! She is so easy to talk to and does an amazing job. She makes the tattooing experience so easy to get through. Both times she was prompt and ready for my tattoo as soon as I got there. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Sarah has time and time again exceeded my expectations. I will not go anywhere else, I can not recommend her enough!
Ive had multiple tattoos done by Sarah and I cant speak highly enough of her work and professionalism. She is prompt, and always ready as soon as I arrive for my appointment. Sarah is so personable and easy to talk to, and makes sure your tattoo is what you want but, gives great advice with placement and ideas as well. Would highly recommend!
I got my first tattoo at HS&HG Tattoo 9 years ago, and have gotten many more at this shop since then. I have seen a couple of different artists but the same goes across the board for all -the artists are kind, welcoming and accommodating. The shop is very clean and inviting. Each artist is very talented in their own way and styles, and they work with you so that the tattoo you are left at the end of your session is one youll love forever. I highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone I know who is looking for a tattoo, and I will continue to do so!
Great environment, clean, Kevin kills it.
The shop is very clean and the employees are extremely sweet. Which is a bonus to the real reason i go there. One of the tattooers named Justin Weins is the main reason. EXTREMELY talented. You pitch this man a great idea that you think “how can this get any better?” And he shows you exactly how. I will never get tattooed by anyone else. His talent is just the surface. He is very delightful to sit with and easy to talk to.
I came into the shop to get my brows microbladed by Kelly. I have a fear of needles and pain in general so I was super nervous. Kelly made me feel comfortable 100% of the time and made sure that I was ok every step of the way. She was awesome and it actually ended up being an enjoyable experience. I love my new brows!! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I am very picky when it comes to tattoos. I have a specific style that I want on my body and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades has accommodated me since my very first tattoo. Though my original artist no longer works at this location, I have not strayed from this shop. When you find a forever shop, you’ve found a forever shop. Sarah is my artist and she has always welcomed me and my creative ideas into the space. She is so talented, genuine, funny and supportive of all ideas. She really makes the process of getting a tattoo a wonderful one. When getting tattooed, you’re often in a very vulnerable state, regardless of placement. At HSHG the atmosphere is one that makes you feel comfortable — whether it’s the other artists sharing their own funny encounters or the calming grey walls which open up the room. I am very happy to wear art from this shop, and I am always proud to tell people where I get my work done. If you love talented, creative and colorful people, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is the place for you.
I went to Kelly to have my eyebrows microbladed because they were almost non-existent. Not only is she gentle, sweet and just an all-around great human, but she’s very professional and absolutely NAILED IT! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!! Her attention to detail is spot-on and she listens to exactly what he clients want while making professional suggestions to enhance the results along the way. 100% worth the 1-hour drive for Kelly! I feel much more confident with my appearance thanks to her!
My girlfriend got her freckles done here by Kelly, and they came out so well!
I have been going to the shop consistently for the past 2 years and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Both Sarah and Andy are amazing artists that I have gotten work from and get nothing but compliments on their work when someone sees my tattoos.Both are easy and fun to talk with while getting any piece done, being knowledgeable and quirky, finishing the day with an amazing piece of art on your body.
Recently just got a tattoo at this shop. Place is clean and staff is friendly. Justin Weins continues to do excellent work. Justin has done most of my 20 something tattoos, everyone of them have come out great. I constantly get compliments on his work. I recommend him to all of my friends, who are looking to get a tattoo.
Justin Weins is hands down the best tattoo artist who has done a piece of work on my body. Knowledgeable, respectful, professional, and helpful are the first things that come to mind for this artist. He has made my artistic ideas into stunning realities. 12/10 rating from me.
I originally contacted this shop because Vic was willing to touch up an old sleeve of mine. However, I saw that they had a microblading artist and decided to book with Kelly right away! Her Instagram profile has post of all her amazing work! I havent had full eyebrows for over a decade! When I came in Kelly greeted me right away and had everything all set up. She was so sweet, professional and efficient. She made show I was comfortable every step of the way. Im not going to lie I was shocked and scared by the brows she gave me. Not because they were bad but because I havent seen my face with full brows in a very long time. It was an adjustment period. Kelly did reassure me that the shock will go away. Sure enough it did. I fell in LOVE with them during the healing process. Then the final touchup helped perfect them!!
I couldn’t say anything amazing enough about this shop. Andy’s work is award winning incredible. And his wife Sarah is following in his footsteps. Their shop is nice, clean, and welcoming. They are two of the nicest people you could meet. Andy is working on fixing a half sleeve I had that didn’t come out right, and the colors on it are amazing now! My Snow White he did is so incredible I get stopped every 5 minutes in Disney. I can’t wait for my next piece !
Very disappointed with the results. At first it looked great then hours later a severe pain and redness developed on the tattoo that spread all over my forearm and elbow, which led up to going to the hospital where the infection was confirmed. I’ve never had this sort of problem with my previous tattoos from different artists.
So, being someone who has few tattoos and not super versed in tattoo culture, I’ve always felt a bit intimidated/shy when looking for the right tattoo shop and artist. SO GLAD I found HS&HG. They were everything I was looking for in a tattoo shop. Very clean. Very friendly people. I totally trust them. Andy is an INCREDIBLE artist, and to top it off, professional and accommodating. I could not recommend HS&HG enough, or any of the amazing and talented artists/professionals who work there. Thanks for a great experience guys!
Andy has been my tattoo artist for over ten years now, and every tattoo is crazier than the previous. If his portfolio of work over the years doesnt speak for itself...He is an artist who is always improving his craft, and it shows. The shop is professional, down to earth, and honest. Im sure you can find an artist at the shop that will suit all your tattoo needs.
Ive had a tattoo done here, and was exactly what i wanted and asked for. Great work. Will definitely return and recommend to others.
The shop is spotless. The artwork that is created there is outstanding. They are true artists. The owner is extremely talented and professional all the while making you feel comfortable no matter where your art is going. I highly recommend this place if you are even considering a tattoo.
I will start off saying I am VERY PICKY. I am always terrified that I will have a garbage tattoo until I started coming here. I have several pieces from the artists at this shop. All look incredible, and I get lots of compliments. I was able to give short notice and get into their busy schedule and even given the change to grab an appointment that was from a cancellation. Everyone was chatty and down to earth compared to other shops I have been to. You can tell they care about their work and their clients. If anyone could leave this shop a bad review its because of who they are as a person and not this shop.
The artist Justin there is a fantastic tattoo artist he’s been tattooing for years upon years and by far the best tattoo artist in the area I recommend everyone to go to him he won’t let you down, soon as you meet him you will vibe with him quick I been going to him since 18 and I’m 23 now I will not go to anybody else besides him. He’s beyond a successful tattoo artist
Kelly has worked miracles on my sad and patchy eyebrows, and helped boost my confidence so much!! I didn’t even realize how uneven and patchy my brows were from years of over plucking. I gave Kelly total control over my brows and let her decide on the correct size/shape of my brows, and her work completely transformed my face! I highly recommend her ️
I contacted Sarah and Andy for a cover up tattoo that was by far a very tricky request. It was important I chose an experienced and talented artist who could match my vision on what I was trying to get done all while also covering an old and pretty large tattoo. I walked into the shop the day of my appointment and Andy had the perfect drawing ready and covered it up perfectly. I cannot believe how nicely it came out and how nicely it healed as well. I appreciate all of the time he took to make it happen and I do not plan to contact any other artists in the future besides him.I highly recommend this tattoo shop if you are a serious client looking for legitimate work done! The shop is clean, welcoming, and has a friendly staff that check up on you throughout your entire visit!
I really recommend it, I was looking for a clean, dependable, nice, and awesome tattoo shop and I found H&HG on Google, I looked them up also on Instagram as well, I found a lot of positive reviews so I decided to give it a try and I was so pleased , Sarah is very good at what she does and also she is awesome.. I love Tweety Bird and Sarah helped me design my own version and it came out beautiful.The shop is very clean, and everybody is very friendly...
Very clean and relaxing shop,artist are extremely good at their craft. Highly recommend this place
Took the plunge and had my eyebrows microbladed by Kelly- OMG amazing!!! She took her time and made sure the size and scale were perfect. The process was comfortable and she was confident in her practice. I am so beyond happy with the end result and wish I did it sooner! No more drawing brows everyday, spending money on pencils. The shape and size she gave me are way better than any tutorial I tried to copy. If you’ve even thought about microblading- don’t go anywhere else. And bring your friends- this is the place and Kelly is the blading expert! Thank you Kelly!!!!
My Fiance and I had both seen Justin and the experience and pieces that he has done are top of the line and I would never consider using another tattoo artists.
Amazing!! I brought my best friends 75 y.o. mom in for her 1st tattoo & Vic was incredible!! Made her feel comfortable & joked with us! Great job! We will be back!! They put her cremated ashes in the ink!! Thank you!!
Andy is the f...ing man. 100%professional. Spent 4.5 hours in the shop getting inked. Very happy with the results. Excelent detail and shadeing, very clean line work. Cant wait for my next piece. A++++++
This shop has very talented and friendly artists. Jim is awesome, hes been re-doing my sleeve and I couldnt be happier! Also, the conversations these guys have are really entertaining.
Ive been satisfied every time Ive gone there. Andy had done two of my biggest tattoos. My mermaid which is 6 years old and my roses are only 2 years old but the colors still looks fresh & bright. He pretty much free handed my roses which is amazing by the way. My brother recommended me here to which Ive recommended many others to come here. Definitely best work Ive seen in MA. I will be coming back!
Waited around 2 months to make 2 appointments for a full sleeve. Sent over 5 references with a description of what I was looking for. I got a response that said Jim will have something really nice and ready for you on the 15th. I was met with 1 stencil of a mandala that was off of one picture I sent. He wanted to free hand a lot of it. What did I send these references for if nothing was going to be put together? He spent no time to actually put my references together and make a sleeve I saved a lot of money to pay for. Apparently getting a sleeve stenciled is too much to ask for and doesnt work like that. I could see he was getting irritated the minute I asked this to be put on paper first.This guy was completely unprepared and odd in general. Youd think design time would be a factor in a tattoo that would cost that much money/time and be on a customer for life. Not here. Didnt get my deposit back. Good business guys.
A few years ago our dog passed away, we loved Ruby dearly. A family member wanted to honor Ruba with a tattoo in memory of her. So the person decided to go to this tattoo parlor shop.. Overall the experience was poor, the shop was not very clean. The tattoo itself was done poorly, did not reflect Ruby at all. Today it looks like a blob of blank ink. I wish it could be repaired.. Ruby was rescued from tjo she brought into home where she was loved dearly, Ruby could be a pita at times, but regardless we miss her very much each day.. I hope the tattoo shop realizes that customers are putting their faith in them and each tattoo should be 100% each time... I havent time to write this been wanting to do it for along time...
Kelly is great at micro blading. Very professional and easy to work with!
Good tattoo, nice staff, I was given no real aftercare instructions (it was my first tattoo) and was misinformed about my saniderm that should have been changed and cleaned with a new one after 24 hours, instead I was told to keep it on for 5 days, so I did, resulting in a rash. Also has a high minimum fee, But clean and friendly.
I have been going to this shop pretty much since it opened, in my opinion its one of the best shops period! All the artists are very professional and the work is top notch. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to expand their tattoo collection.
Getting a tattoo here was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. The tattoo was so badly done that they tried to fix it on a second visit & it only got worse. I asked for a refund & they refused. I should have taken them to court but I did not have the means for a lawyer. Now i have to plan for a future tattoo removal. Its that bad! Learn from my experiance, these people are amateurs. They do horrible disasterous tattoos. They should be shut down. Im working on a petition to have them shut down because many others have gotten terrible tattoos there. I hope this helps someoneI wish someone could have warned me before I stepped foot in that place
Expensive and not very friendly
Love this place. Got all my tattoos from here. Theyre so friendly and welcoming. I recommend everyone I know looking for a tattoo shop to come here!
Andy and sarah are awesome I suggest you check them out !!!
Best tattoo artists in Western New England
I have seen art and was quite impressed at the detail so i will be making an appt in the near future . .
Greatest tattoo shop in the area of not the state! Jim had done some awesome work for me and the conversations they have are hilarious lol
I only had a hundred dollars and i was hooked up by Andre and artist Cole. I am very happy with my new tattoo. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.
Its a nice place
Go to Vic awesome tattoo artist
Edit 2: Added photo of their response in case they try to change it to show the continued lying and rude behavior without any apology despite all proof presented. Also, after looking at the recommended after my review on their Facebook, they got their friends to write fake positive reviews, half literally copy and pasted from one another and makes me wonder if ANY of the reviews in the last two years are realEdit: I should have waited till I went to get my next tat. They have given me the silent treatment for a week and after two phone calls with messages left on their voice mail, with no call back, I left a review on their facebook. Instead of giving a valid response such as We forgot about the call as we have been extremely busy or really any other friendly excuse, I got berated and personally insulted because THEY messed up. I dont know what happened in their lives since two years ago, but clearly it was something major and I wish them counseling. Until then, stay awayOld review: Its been two years since I got my first tattoo here and this review is way over due! They were very fast in responding to inquiries about pricing and very professional in person! I felt so calm getting my small tattoo on my wrist and they didnt laugh when I almost passed out. The only downside for me is that they are so far away or I would have gotten way more tattoos by now! I plan on going back someday!
Took my boyfriend to this place to get a tattoo and it costed 150 for less than an hour and a day later he realized, it wasnt satisfactory to what he asked for, so we went back to ask for a touch up. The artist he had refused to touch it up without a minumum payment of 80 dollars. We went to shamrock tattoo and vertias tattoo in west Hartford CT before, and compared to these places, the customer service was the worst Ive experianced. They were exasperated with any request and felt personally attacked, going against the business casual attitude of any given establishment. Their ability to reason with the customer about their dissatisfaction would lead me to tell people not to go there. I am really disappointed in this experience after paying as much as I did for the tattoo. Would not recommend going here.
Best shop is the area, hands down.
Fantastic work, very clean, very friendly.
Amazing customer service, and great artists
Andy is amazing!
Nice staff
Its legit
Lovely
Personas amables ,serviciales Y todo de buena calidad le doy Mucho más que 5 estrellas gracias a todo el personal
