Reviews of NH Custom Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Jim Rothe

Awesome the best at exactly what I want. Never better

William Hanson

My man Jake greatest artist you will ever meet 10 stars

Cynthia Em

Jake is an amazing artist. Probably the best one I've seen so far. he recently did my boyfriends half sleeve and it came out better than imagined. He free handed the dove, the flowers and the skull. He paid close attention to my boyfriends muscle patterns and customized his tattoo to fit his body perfectly. Jake is very professional and knows how to make his customers feel at home and comfortable. We were there for about 8 hours but it felt like the time flew. Thank You Jake for an amazing job and I look forward to coming back for myself next time.

James Littlefield

Jake absolutely killed it! He took the design and completely revamped it into something beyond what I even thought was possible! Going back for my next soon

Dani Guerin

Jake is amazing! He is a really talented artist! Working on session 3 with him to finish up my 1/4 sleeve.

Mykenzie Bishop

Jake is so awesome and has so many creative ideas. I put emphasis on custom because he makes sure every tattoo is fit to your body specifically. Every tattoo is drawn on freehand rather than traced, and the artwork is outstanding. The environment is relaxing and welcoming as well, which makes for a stress free experience! I highly recommend Jake and will be going back for all of my tattoos

Sarah Boudreau

So Jake is an amazing tattoo artist I heard about him through a friend and draws your tattoo on your skin and because he has such a steady hand and wonderful art skills it'll come out amazing every time he recently moved shops so now he owns his own place and it's much more open and welcoming hes always willing to work with you and he did this small memorial tattoo for my dog I found the picture of what I wanted online and he made adjustments to make it more legible and this wasn't my first tattoo but I got really hot in the middle of the tattoo (has never happened to me before) but I'm almost happy it did because now I can tell you that he stopped right away got a fan on me I felt like I was gonna throw up for a minute I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face and when I came out he was right there he gave me a couple pieces of candy get my blood sugar up and made sure I was 100% before starting up again he was more concerned about how I was feeling than anything else which I have seen some tattoo artists who rush you back into the chair to finish it up and they get little aggravated if they need to stop some people might say he's a bit on the pricier side of tattooing but let me tell you a quality tattoo from Jake is well worth the money you put into it he's experienced and he does everything he can to make sure you get what you want and that it's perfect if you are looking for your 1st tattoo or even just wanting an experienced tattoo artist to do a big piece his prices are reasonable for the quality work he does. He is a good person and wife is pretty amazing too from the couple times I've met with them and I would recommend anyone to go to him.

Nikiya Osborn

Just finished my 2nd 12 hour session there. Jake was able to give me a complete sleeve in that amount of time. Great work, very light handed. I was nervous at first because he's does completely free hand work (one indication that at least one of his bad reviews is a lie) and I've always seen tattoo artists that draw, stencil and then tattoo, but I'm very happy with his work and would recommend to anyone that wanted a true artist doing their ink work.

Jr Reilly

great fist time experience, sat for 5 hr tattoo which came out better than expected and its not even finished yet! He had drew my design which i liked so much better than a print and ink shop.

Charlene Valentin-Rodriguez

Got bilateral nipple piercings by Jake. He is very thorough and professional. Jake has a great hand! the piercings didn't hurt much during. Had no drainage and minimal to no swelling. Looking forward to my next piercings and tattoo...

Kaleena

Jake did an awesome job on my tattoo. He took the time to make sure he fully understood what I wanted before he drew my tattoo. His prices were extremely reasonable and he makes sure you are comfortable throughout the whole process. He also has excellent customer service and is available through text and answers promptly if you have any questions after you get your tattoo.

Caitlin Krajewski

Absolutely amazing! Jake hand drew my beautiful half sleeve right on me, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time ! Definitely going back!

Daniel Catharine

Went to 3 tattoo shops with 2 pictures looking to make one tattoo and everywhere wanted to do it their own way. Gave Jake my 2 pictures and he came back with a sketch 3 min later very close to what I was looking for. You won't find a better artist around truly a master of his craft. If my mom wanted a tattoo this is the place I would send her hell I would send my grandmother here! I have never seen a tattoo heal so quick and clean.

Tim Perin

Said online was open from noon till midnight. Called ahead of time message said open and not to worry if doesn't pick up means he is probably busy with tattoo so we took the haul up from Danville got there at 2:30 was closed. Not a good first impression. Oh but he did answer his Instagram and say he would be there at seven.... or eight. Hmmmm ya no thanks!

Meaghan Cain

Got a beautiful cover up tattoo by Jake for my grandmother. It's absolutely gorgeous piece that I'm proud to have. Love his work and his attention to detail! Very down to earth, professional, clean and makes you comfortable. Can't wait to get it finished!

Liane Kerbyson

Jake worked on a cover up for me today and he blew me away with the results. A lot of trust goes into finally sitting and saying yes to a tattoo artist. Jake did not disappoint. He listened to what I was looking for and followed it while adding the right amount of his own creative license. Brilliant artist...

Debbie Demers

highly recommend, we will return for more

SkittleBear111

Ever since i got tattooed by Jake I've decided no other tattooist can compare to him. He is a true tattoo artist and did my tattoo freehand. He drew something custom for me right on my body and the end result was beautiful. I've gone back to him many times because not only is his artwork amazing, but so is his personality. I recommend him to anyone who wants a quality tattoo for a great price. Even my family and friends have gotten tattoo work done by him, so you should as well :)

Keith Marshall

Good artist. The shop is a bit cluttered and messy. Didn't affect the final product tho. I'd probably go back again.

Manny Sodre

Jake is the man! Fast, light handed, professional, and very caring regarding his customer's comfort...would never go anywhere else...

tori pane

Jakes the best!!! He has such a light hand! He is now refixing all my tattoos!!! Awesome company as well!

Thomas Hurd

I absofknlutely love NH Custom Tattoo! I found Jake NH custom tattoo by googling best biomech tattoo artist in NH his shop popped up and I also found him on Instagram looked at all images/videos of his work and was immediately impressed. So I had mind made up he was my tattoo guy after looking at his work along with many others. So I scheduled an app after following his work for bout 6 months turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. He gave me a full sleeve in 16 hrs did it all in 2 sessions and knocked it out of the park. I went with a biomech and skulls sleeve. I recently a few days ago went back for another half sleeve and this time he did a dragon half sleeve it came so mean and fkn nasty. I love it! His work is 5 star all day long. Another great thing about this guy he is a great conversationist so while he tattoos you it takes your mind off the pain of the tattooing which is great if your sitting in for a all day tattoo which is straight 8hrs of tattooing for 977.00 which is a hell of a deal for this guys work. I would have paid 600 more what he did for me with out a 2nd thought. He knocked my tattoos out the fkn park. I will be going back for more! Side note I know we all like to get exactly what we want for tattoos but def stay open minded to his suggestions he knows better then you how to make it look he is a artist lol. I went with all his suggestions on my piece and they came out fkn awesome Thanks Jake love my tattoos brotha!

Cara Lavoie

Jake Custom Tattoo is very light handed. He didn't even make me bleed and I am usually a bleeder. Excellent work, Excellent demeanor and great skill. He also knows how to make you feel comfortable while he does an excellent creative free hand one of a kind tattoo.

Toto 1989

Great place Love my piece. More work need to be done. Highly recommended getting ink done also piercing as well!!!

Dylan Caswell

Such a positive atmosphere. Made me feel comfortable. Excellent work! Very clean and sterile!

Tara Rovero

Jake is great! Love my one of a kind piece can't wait to finish it! I get compliments on it all the time even though it still needs some color! Love it!

Joe Trolo

Jake's a great guy. I can see why people drive so far to use his talent. They even had CBD and vape stuff. Cool place.

Bonnie Shepard

I recommend Jake , He does amazing job with very good quality and amazing detail work at affordable prices, Making my next appointment with him very soon.

Lee Fiers

What an excellent job. Nice smooth and steady hand with a nice quick pace. Did an amazing job and got a lot done in a short period of time. One of my favorite Artist out there. Excellent customer skills and undescribable free hand skills and talent. I would be honored to sit back down with Jake and get some more ink done in the very near future. Jeff C.

Joshua Jackman

Jake has to be one of if not the best tattoo artist I have ever met and is always friendly and inviting I'm proud to say I started out as a client and now he's a great friend of mine

Kyle Harrison

Very professionally done artistry, great prep, and a detailed walkthrough of the entire process.

Ryan

Stop littering cities with your stickers. The design sucks to begin with - so it’s not helping you. You’re legitimately bad people

Meghan Keogh

Some artists do this and do it for the money; tattooing whoever they can to make a buck. Jake is all about the art and creating something that you're proud to wear and he's proud to do. He was extremely focused on making sure I was comfortable and that I had a positive experience in his shop - it's evident that he is dedicated to building a reputation of good customer service. I would absolutely recommend him; he did great work that is unique and well done!

Ethan Rollins

My sister and I got matching sister tattoos. They came out amazing and we absolutely love them. The price was very reasonable as well!!

First Last

This business littered Manchester with stickers of their logo all over street signs and traffic light poles. Real classy.

Christian Smith

Jakes is does amazing work. i would go to him if u want a great quality tatto for a great price. he has a gentle touch and makes sure you are as comfortable as you can be.

Ryan Labrecque

The best tattoo place in NH give it 120% great artistic work

Grim Reaper

excellent work and very friendly customer service definitely will return

Matt M

Highly recommend going to NH Custom Tattoo for anyone looking for a new tattoo. Jake is very friendly and personable. He will work with you and bounce ideas back forth with you to get the exact tattoo you want. Thanks again Jake!

Misty aragon

I am so happy with Jakes work! He is amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

Nicole Deshaies

Jake does fantastic work. He is kind, doesn’t make sessions awkward, and is as gentle as much as he can be. He has a true talent, and is very precise with his lines and shading. I would recommend 10 stars if I could!!!

lindsay labbe

Awesome experience, impressive shop, clean & very professional. Jake Literally hand draws the tattoo on you no templates or prints offline you truly get a custom tattoo that personally fits your body, can’t wait for our next appointment!

Tasha Hebert

It was great experience! !!

Doug Marsh

Jake's the man! Absolutely love going here he's super fast, light handed, affordable, and an amazing artist! Highly recommended!!

Rina Daley

My experience here was absolutely amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone in the New Hampshire area even the Massachusetts area! It’s so worth the drive. Amazing work! LOVE THIS PLACE! My new favorite tattoo shop !

Chris Inman

Did my research and it led me to him. When I went in, I knew what I wanted and how I wanted it to look, but he pretty much talked me out of it. When we finally came to an agreement, he haphazardly created a stencil and began working. At first look it was terrible, but I thought he was going to fix it. The words were sized differently and spaced improperly and the lettering was inconsistent in look. I paid him $200 in cash and left. After healing, I couldn't get over how awful it looked and contacted him to request a refund. He essentially refused and tried to offer a store credit, but why would I want someone who screwed up the first time to work on me again? No thanks and never going here again.

Burnnskii

Work is hit or miss. Also, zero respect for the community they are in and surrounding towns. Many stickers have appeared everywhere around Manchester on private property and anywhere they thought would be high traffic. Zero regards to what it was being stuck to as long as visibility was ideal. Why give back to a business that doesnt care about the home towns of the ones supporting it.

Kristen Leonard

I got a tattoo done by Jake and he did a great job. He's very nice and takes the time to make sure what you want and how to make it your own. He draws it on you and makes sure it flows with your body. He's a very talented artist and I recommend him to anyone looking for a great tattoo with great quality.

William Black

Jake tattooed me for the first time nearly 8 years ago....In the 8 years of knowing him I have had the opportunity to watch him grow and expand as an exceptional artist....he is not just some guy with a tattoo machine who thinks he can tattoo...he is truly a tattoo ARTIST...the only person I currently trust to come near me with a machine....I highly recommend him for any work wanted/needed

brianna desfosses

i just went to get my nose pierced, i am very happy with how it came out. I felt very welcome and jake was very sweet + his dog was wicked cute. 10/10 reccomend

Allie May

Best experience. Made what I showed him I wanted into something even better. Great conversations.

Wendy Glass

Really cool place to go ..Even if you don't get tattooed that day the shop has so much to see and lots of cool stuff to buy for yourself or gifts..Check it out!

Amber Morin

Does exactly what I want love it the best on the east coast

Ian Wallington

I've wanted a tattoo for about 15 to 20 years, but never pulled the trigger. When I first met Jake, he was professional and courteous and I walked away thinking that he loves what he does and genuinely wants to create the best product he possibly can. I decided that Jake would be the artist I would use for my first tattoo. My tattoo is now 2 weeks old and looks fantastic. Although I had specific ideas and generally knew what I wanted, I asked Jake for advice. Jake offered to draw my idea freehand and form the lines to my muscle definition. The outcome is a unique and custom tattoo that surpasses any preconceived expectations. Not only is Jake a talented artist who performs a high-quality service, he also seems like a great guy and wants his customers to be comfortable. Jake offers his customers options of music/ movies/ Netflix shows and has the ability to engage in just enough conversation to be approachable and enjoyable. If you've already been tattooed by Jake, you already know all this. If you have not been tattooed by Jake, what are you waiting for?

Christan Fenton

The bird is the word

Steven Anderson

Stopped in and met Jake and told him what I wanted. Made an appointment for a few days later and got it done. 100x better than expected and was way more detailed than what I was thinking. I will definatly go back without question. Highly recommended.

Nikki Huelle

I'm sure this guy is fine for people who are used to getting tattoos, but he doesn't seem to know how to handle first-timers very well. I gave him the picture I had in mind for the tattoo. I wanted it on my wrist. He seemed really distracted right off, but he made the stencil and sat me down in the tattoo chair. Then, literally at the last possible second (rather than just saying it earlier when I had 20+ minutes to think it over), he pointed out that the wrist is a really conspicuous place for a tattoo and asked if I wanted it elsewhere, like the shoulder. I felt like I had to decide right then and there, and I really wasn't ready. I got cold feet and decided to do it on my shoulder. Almost immediately afterward, I realized I really didn't like it there, and am looking into getting it removed. I'm still a little resentful for having that choice sprung on me at the last second, and thus screwing up the tattoo I'd had planned for months. Live and learn, I suppose.

Emmi-rose

Hands down the best artist I have ever had. If you've never sat in Jake's chair before then your missin out. I recommend NH CUSTOM TATTOO to everyone I know and to those I don't. Book a appointment you'll be glad you did.

Danielle Santosuosso

Me and my boyfriend had gone here after we were recommended and we couldn’t have been more happy with the outcomes of the tattoos! He was so patient, gave us ideas, kept making sure we were alright while tattooing, he made us feel welcome! And even though I was nervous as anything, he made my whole experience so much easier! He was all around amazing! I will def be coming back for more! He gave me the tattoo I’ve wanted for 5 years I could never find anyone to do it right and he nailed it head on! If your looking for a good tattoo artist he’s the one!!!

Sarah Hamilton

Jake is nice and very professional, I've gotten a tattoo with him before but it was fairly small. This being my first large tattoo I was a little nervous but Jake is awesome he makes sure you are prepared and comfortable. My tattoo fits my leg perfectly, we only did an outline but I cant wait to go back and finish it off!

Ken Giusini

Jake was great, I recommended him to a couple friends and I am already scheduled to go back! You can tell right off the bat he is someone who loves doing what he does, and has been doing it for a long time. My tattoo is great I receive compliments from anyone who sees it. Thanks Jake! Keep up the hard work

Jon Sturtevant

Love the atmosphere jake and josie are amazing had a blast love the art work deffinatly will be going back

Adam Macneill

Very good tattoo parlor, good customer service but don't go there if your deadset on a picture he does his own twist on the work free handed and just trust him that you'll like it I adore my tattoo I just got last night Jakes a very reasonable guy and will work with you

tim high

"highly recommend" had a custom piece done, hes extremely gentle. I went there expecting to meet a tattoo artist and left with a new friend or two. the quality of work is mind blowing! I would definitely stop what your doing and go down and check him.

Chris Guerrera

Excellent service! Professional artist & great work

Amy Doran

A few months back I got a tattoo for my daughter. It came out fantastic! I highly recommend Jake, not only is he professional; he has amazing people skills, and is a pleasure to chat with. I'm going in for my second tattoo by him this week! I'm very eager to see what he draws up.

NH CustomTattoo, brand, CBD & vape

I am Taryn useing jakes computer at new inkland tattoo parlor. I am so glad I discovered Jake CustomTattoo, because he fixed my tattoo for me that a previous artist had messed up on. Jake actually cares about the work he does and has a great attitude. He does amazing cover up work. I will never go to another artist besides him ever again that's for sure . Thx alot jake

Amanda Frost

Been getting inked by Jake for over a decade. Love love his work. Thanks for the great art work! :-) :-)

Emily C.

Hello, I tend not to rate badly and I do feel terrible that I feel the need to do so. Jake seemed to be a super nice guy at first for my consaltation and so on. I was really ready for my tattoo, he said he was going to do what I wanted him to do. He put the stensil on and it looked good. He started the tattoo. In the process he answered the phone 3 times and aloud people twice to come in the back room where I was being tattooed. I told him I had money for only 2 hours and he worked on me for 5 hours. He would get mad at me and tell me not to move my head and arms so I was unable to check my phone for the time. When he was finished he made the remark “oh I did not realize it was that big” as he did not follow the stensil he put on. The tattoo was about 2 times larger than I wanted. Also he said he specialized in realism, but it looks more like he painted it vs tried to make it look real. It has been over a week and I have gashes in my tattoo where I know its going to scar from him overworking it by going over that one spot too many times. It was a bad experience overall and I am beating myself up over letting him do what he did and not having the balls to speak up.

Tiffany Deschenes

Jake is an amazing artist. He is working on a sleeve for me and the details and coloring are incredible. I'm extremely happy with the work he has done for me so far!

Jennifer Marsh

My son got two upper ear piercings today and we could not be happier with his first experience! Thank you Jake for explaining everything so well and making us so comfortable! I Definetly recommend Jake for any tattoo or piercing needs.

Beatrice Taylor

Waited four years to find an artist to get a memorial tattoo for my dog that had passed of cancer. My new ink came out so much better than I had expected! I cannot thank him enough for doing this tattoo and doing such a good job. I highly recommend him and will be sending more people his way! Fast friendly and very reasonably priced. NH Custom Tattoo is where it's at.

Jake Roberts

Jake is a very down to earth guy who is willing to work with you to make sure you get the piece that you want. I just spent 11 hours with him yesterday getting a half sleeve done with lots of details and color. He goes out of his way to make sure you have plenty of candy and drinks and let’s you watch or listen to anything to make sure you and comfortable during your tattoo experience.

Ryan Sweeney

I got my first tattoo here and it came out amazing, Jake is a very nice guy and he's excellent at trying to engage you with anything other than the pain. You can really tell he loves what he does, and he also offered plenty of information including thorough aftercare steps. I would recommend him to anyone.

Jonathan Brady

Very inviting staff and amazing work

Sara Blanchard.

I had a really amazing experience here! I was a little nervous at first, but Jake was very understanding and considered! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Heidi Kos

Jake is a great artist and does amazing custom tattoos.

Kenneth Mailloux

This place felt the need to blanket Goffstown and Manchester with stickers promoting their business. They're everywhere including traffic lights and private property.

Kim Harper

I am so happy I waited until I found Jake to get my tattoo done! Such an amazing artist and a super nice guy!!!! My tattoo is above and beyond what I expected!!!! I will recommend him to everyone I know!!!!

Cheyla

Jake is such a great artist and I am so happy with both of my tattoos! If you want quality work for a great price, look no further. He is super nice and really takes the time to explain what needs to be done before getting work done as well as goes into extensive detail about aftercare. I have never met a tattoo artist who was so passionate and explained both steps, especially the 'before care' so precisely. He also makes you feel so comfortable. Can't wait to get more work done!

Danielle King

Jake is a great, professional and clean tattoo artist! I just had a tatto done by him and I am in love with it. I will absolutely go to him for my future pieces! This man has crazy talent.

Marissa Lanouette

Very clean environment and amazing service. You will feel right at home while you are sitting in Jake's chair. The art is fantastic! I'm confident that Jake will take your tattoo ideas and turn them into something extraordinary.

michelle masse

Great tattoos

Stephen

Jake was awesome, I went in a week before and we talked about the shoulder piece I wanted in memory of my late Father. I shared a few basic pictures with him and asked him to make it his own, needless to say he did an awesome job! I can't wait for him to do my next piece.

Pookie TheBear

I am 53 and it was my 1st tattoo. I was very nervous and he was awesome at explaining everything and making me feel totally comfortable. I am THRILLED with my tattoo and plan on going back for more. He does amazing work and I highly recommend him.

Heather Waddell

My wife and i just got tattoos tonight together. Jake is by far the best artist and is true to the real meaning of tattooing thanks man we both love the tats and we will be back for more

Katie Pierce

Jake's tattooing me for over a decade, wouln't go to anyone else. He has done my back both legs and a few smalls.

Nicholas Novak

Was recently on vacation when I got the urge to go under the needle, so I found jake on google. He was super professional and answered every question I had in a detailed response and went step by step with the needle and ink procedures. He said he had never done something quite like the design I had in mind so I gave him artistic freedom and he returned that with a beautiful work of art

Nancy Hamel

Friendly and professional!
