Rachel Duclos

Amazing experience! Jess did a mesmerizing job on my latest tat. I literally get complimented several times a day, on her work! Wayne is a fantastic and so is Emma... I have seen MANY tattoo artists’ work over the years and this shop has it 10-fold over their competition. Do your homework, make an appointment and expect to be blown away! Thanks again- hope to see you soon!

Rachel Jenkins

Every piercing I've had done here (13 of them) have been perfect. Clear instructions, perfectly lined up and Wayne is really good at preparing you for what the actual piercing part is going to be like. 11/10 recommend

Laura Mulligan

Jess and Emma are both incredible artists!! I have been to many artists and shops and none of them compare to this one. A professional and peaceful enviorment to get tattooed. Jess has a delicate touch and is able to bust out extraordinarily detailed tattoos in an impressive amount of time. I will be a loyal customer to her as long as there's skin to cover.

Nakia Pickering

Best tattoo shop near North Conway! Emma was quick to respond and schedule me an appointment and their rate are very affordable! Clean, organized shop with a great atmosphere. I'll be going back very soon for my next tattoo!

My wife went here for her first tattoo just yesterday. We walked in spontaneously, and we just lucked right out. The inside of the shop is beautiful and inviting. The girls that work there are amazingly friendly and kind. The talent that they have in this establishment is second to none. Next time we come up I hope to be getting my second tattoo from them. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Emma for the beautiful tattoo, my wife is so extremely happy with it.

Mariko AH

One word I can say for my experience: amazing! Everyone was so friendly and helplful. My artist was SO talented and it made the whole thing more enjoyable knowing someone like her did my first tattoo. Would easily recommend if you want to go somewhere clean, beautiful, and welcoming. Thank you, Darling Grey!

Amanda Ryan

Best place around the valley to get a tattoo or piercing, friendly staff too

Kendall White

Love! Love! Love! Husband and I on our honeymoon wanted ring tattoos, didn't state they took walk-ins. They graciously allowed us to do a quick walk-in! Very professional and clean parlour and staff. The whole staff was very welcoming and super nice! We had Emma, very good attention to detail with small finger tattoos! Would highly recommend!

Hannah Randell

Where to start.... The Darling Grey is not your typical tattoo parlor, AT ALL. The owner Jess, goes above & beyond to make her clients feel welcome & comfortable. This shop radiates equality, perfection, & kindness. The shop is SPOTLESS clean & everyone there radiates kindness. Emma & Wayne are staples to the shop that make each visit even more wholesome. I wouldn’t want to step foot in any other tattoo shop after frequenting The Darling Grey. Beware... they have that effect

John Owen

Extremely clean. Shoes off at the door. Open and inviting. I did not feel out of place at all. Entire staff was friendly and informative. Had a piercing by Wayne. Wicked nice guy. Could have stayed there for hours talking to him. Walked you through the process before he did it. Made sure you were all set with complete after care instructions.

Gina Quinton

Unique and quaint Beautiful location Friendly and comfortable

Jodie Patscheider-Martin

Jess is the best. Atmosphere is amazing and the artwork on the walls is imaginative as impressive. Highly recommend. Wayne is professional and the best piercer around. Have brought my family to both for years!

Amanda Lombardi-Foss

Wayne is the man!! Went in today, just looking for more info on the diath(sp) piercing. He explained it throughly. His calm demeanor was ready reassuring. As I am NOT a fan of needles or pain & was quite uneasy. When I decide to get more tattoos or that I need another piercing I will defiantly come back here. As will I recommend this place to others! Keep up the great work!!

Bill Strong

Jess is clearly the best tattoo artist in the valley. Darling Grey is an awesome shop with a great atmosphere.

Felicia McDonald

Emma is fantastic. Friendly, fast, safe and wicked good at what she does. :]

Cassie Goodfellow

Professional, Clean, and Classy. Great shop. I just adore Emma and her work.

Amanda Hogan

Talented artists in a comfortable, clean and gorgeous shop!

Anne Joost

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! I got a upper leg tattoo and Emma did such an amazing job. I can definitely recommend the place.

marilyn rivera

This place may have good artist but....too much waiting time for cosultation, almost 3 weeks, cant imagine when i would get my tattoo. Gave up went to another tattoo place......but your response was absolutely correct. My review was a bit harsh. The fact that your place is busy a is a good thing. Maybe I was just impatient.

john brady

Best tats around! Nice clean atmosphere! Jess is awesome! Would recommend anyone to go there!

Margaret Jividen

Thank you Emma for my beautiful tattoo! The studio is so well decorated and clean. I love the atmosphere, and everyone agrees that my tattoo is a work of art.

Shelley Rich

Highly recommend!!

Andrea Porter

I have been a long time customer of Jess's so of course I followed her to her own shop! Let me just say, it is absolutely fabulous. Her shop is stunning, so beautiful and had a fantastic atmosphere. She does such beautiful work on all of her clients, and I am always left amazed by her. I have NEVER been disappointed by her art. Absolutely phenomenal. Even Emma is pretty outstanding, I haven't had the pleasure of working with her yet but I have seen some of her art and was very impressed. Such great people, wonderful to be around, very comforting and all around great.

Mark Holden

Came here for a tattoo a few months ago, the people were generally nice and the tattoo came out well enough, but I did have a couple issues. The tattoo was a little sub par, but I think I'm also just being nit-picky, either way I should have researched the artists further before making an appointment. My main issue was the rudeness of the woman working behind the desk. When the tattoo was done I was about to pay and was holding my cash and was trying to work out in my head how much to tip, and I was planning on tipping really well. Let's say the tattoo was $270, I was planning on tipping $50, I give the receptionist $300 and as I go to get more money for the tip she rudely interjects "And the rest is for her right?" and I just kind of looked at her and said "yeah, right." So just to let you know you screwed one of your artists out of an extra $20 because you couldn't wait 5 seconds for me to get more money out or maybe you didn't think I was even going to tip or something. I won't be returning.

Lila Beau

I have been getting tattooed by Jess for many years. She is amazing. She does amazing tattoos. I would recommend everyone to go there. Amazing artists! Thanks for always be so good to me. Love seeing you!

You feel right at home the moment you pull up to this magical garden. This shop is a serene, calming environment jam-packed with unique art. While those factors draw you in, you stay and come back for the supremely talented artists. Emma is an angel!

Whitney Antonelli

The Valley needed an awesome down to earth Tattoo Parlor that's not all about the money and The Darling Grey is it! Jess is an amazing person and fantastic artist. Wayne is the man when it comes to piercings and Emma is really showing her talent! Even if you aren't ready for a tattoo or piercing you should stop in and see the place and meet everyone. They have sweatshirts and stickers for sale but also their like family and everyone fits it!

Emily Henriksen

Barbara Davis

Would definitely go back for another piercing! Very friendly and very clean!

Debbie Gaudreault-Larochelle

Came here a few months ago with a friend to get her septum pierced. Wayne did a great job, and she loves it. Made the long drive again specifically to see him- feel very safe and clean there. Will definitely be coming back for any future piercings and recommend all others to as well!

Stephanie Pacetti

Jess is INCREDIBLE! She has done all of my tattoos and I would recommend her to anyone. The sweetest girl ever. She rocks!!

Sarah Thomsen

For my fourth tattoo I found myself in New Hampshire looking for an artist who could take me as a walk-in. (Just a small tree on my wrist. From reviews online I decided darling grey was the best place to go and let me tell you... They are fantastic! I have never felt more at ease and comfortable in a tattoo shop in my life. They were accommodating and informed, I received a BEAUTIFUL peice from Emma and I can't say enough about how great she was. I will never go anywhere else for my ink.

Steph Karl

Awesome place! Love all the plants. Not really worth the prices but i guess everyone has their own opinion on that.

Sami Sylvester

Jess Guercia is Amazing! She is talented, extremely creative, will listen to what you want, and give you that and better! She's also very easy going and fun to be around! I LOVE my tattoos from her and get compliments on them all the time. This woman should be your first pick! She's always mine!

Ed Andrews

Went in to donate to the fund for badly injured ink artist. Very impressive entrance garden, which continued inside. Several attractive women who are clearly products of the product: excellent thematic sleeves in brilliant colors. You can see and feel why they have such a solid following of men and women who love body art

Casey Foye

The Darling Grey feels like the most incredible art gallery you've ever set foot in. When you step through the door, you are surrounded by gorgeous artwork and classy Victorian themed furnishings. The owner, Jess, is an outstanding artist. Her paintings and drawings have the most fantastic whimsical quality to them. Looking at them, I wish I could crawl into her imagination and have a look around. On top of the talent and quality displayed in the artwork around the shop, both Jess and Emma are incredibly talented tattooers, and they are both very professional. At The Darling Grey, you are guaranteed to take home artwork that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

Kristen Barbin

Jess is an amazing artist and beautiful soul. She is engaging and makes even a first timer feel welcome. I highly recommend her and her business.

Tranifer Lovely

I love this shop! Both artists are so nice and talented, prices are competitive, and the art you leave with is worth cherishing for a lifetime. Not to mention, the parlor itself has an amazing ambiance, and is incredibly clean. Go here, you will not be disappointed!

Debra Hoyt

What an amazing "Parlor". She has outdone herself in the atmosphere. She is so gifted with talent. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend her to anyone. If I decide to add more, she will be my go to artist.

Danyell Wright

I've been to a few different tattoo shops and The Darling Grey is the most relaxing atmosphere ever for a shop. Thank you Jess and Emma for the wonderful experience. Can not wait to return for more.

What a "darling" shop! Hands down the best place to get a tattoo I have been too. Clean, the atmosphere doesnt feel like a tattoo shop, all the green plants give you envy! Great artists and staff doing awesome work. I will be back to get more done here! If you can work with April you will love the outcome!

Brought my daughter for her nose piercing. We both felt so comfortable and it looks great! Will definitely be back for my next tattoo! Update:Just got ink done by Beth and I couldn't be happier! Her work is PERFECT not to mention it just felt like I was chilling at home for four hours. Love the atmosphere, people and skilled dedication. See you for my next one for sure, thank you!
