Reviews of East Coast Tattooing & Body Piercing (Tattoo Shop)

evelyn aquino

The piercer is honestly the most honest man I know. Totally recomend him! He tell you the truth when it comes to where to put your piercing!

Jessica Reitzell

I brought my daughter to get her nose pierced and I wasn't particularly impressed. Jess, the piercer, was efficient and did a good job, but the whole time I had the sense that she'd rather be elsewhere. Neither she, nor the woman working …

Very disappointed at the moment, I got a conch piercing a few days ago. I was getting a weird feeling about it so I went to another piercer, and he said that the piercing was done so not straight. That I will never be able to change the …

Ashley is very great at what she does

Great people

Maura Rook

Randomly stopped in on Sunday and was greeted with the most pleasant women who helped me figure out what I wanted. Then Frankie came out and took the time to draw it out and size and resize until I was completely happy with my new piece of art and its placement. Frankie did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait to go back to get more work done!

I just spoke with the owner about an issue I was having with an ongoing infection in my anti-tragus piercing that was done on 5/27/18 (the infection was no fault of the shop) --He was very knowledgeable and accommodating, and gave me good advice and a realistic outlook of my situation. I would go here again for a piercing.

Brandon Tanguay

Frankie absolutely killed my tattoo, it’s by far my favorite peice. Extremely nice and great service 100% will be going back to him for all my tattoos.

I arrived at 12 like its opening hours stated. Waited for half a hour in the heat, no one was there. Very disappointed because I only had enough money to spare for a lift there and back one time. Not cool. If you're going to this location make sure you call before heading out because they aren't punctual.

Jessica Jencks

Love it there and very Cheap

Nikki Petersen

The older woman at the desk was incredibly rude and unprofessional. I didn’t even bother getting pierced. When I asked to meet my piercer before committing she refused. All she cared about was getting me to pay. They may do great work but need to work on their front of house hospitality.

Alison Auger

I'll never go anywhere else for piercings. Jess is awesome, shes so friendly and does an amazing job. The tattoos I watch get done are absolutely fantastic. Such a great environment and staff. Really a fun place to go. They're also open late so you dont feel in a rush.

jason ventura

Got my first piercing here they're great

Bridgett Brown

Great place.

David Paolo

Booked an appointment days earlier and put a $100 deposit. Arrived on time and they took someone in before we got there. Almost 2 hours latter and we are still waiting. Terrible service .

Kandace Nikole

Whoever is managing this place needs to be fired! I had a piercing done about a month ago so I called in to inquire about changing rings she left me on hold for five minutes all the while cursing her employees out and actually had a customer leave due to her horrible attitude! I had to hang up and call back and when I did she was still very rude I told her I will go somewhere els and hung up! No customer service skills what so ever!

KarmaVixen

Friendly, affordable, great service!

Molly Tobia

Love this place. Very friendly. Jess pierced my Tragus and rook and was very quick and easy with it. Def going back!

torird9

I am a picky person and I love how my tattoo turned out. I showed up and told the guy I wanted a Gucci monogram on my finger and he helped me find an image of the monogram I wanted. It looks perfect and I love it. It was a great experience overall for my first tattoo. 10/10

Louisa Rabelo

Such an awesome cool place! Jay is the best!

Afrida

DO NOT get your navel pierced here. I got mine pierced and after cleaning it out 2 times a day, it still hadn’t healed and caused me pain anytime it was moved even after 8 months so I went back to ask them to look at it and the lady who was at the front wouldn’t even look at it and said it was fine and that it would take longer. And then I went to an actual piercing place and they told me for sure that it was infected and not only that but that the jewelry that was used was a kind no legitimate piercing place uses anymore as it has ridges that cause pain when you try to take it out. They helped take it out as painlessly as possible and told me how to heal the infection. After looking at the jewelry it was obvious the metal had degraded which helped cause the infection and left a big dark scar on my stomach. NOT a good experience with their piercing. Very disappointed especially since I had gotten my nose pierced here the year before and it was perfectly fine and one of the guy piercers was very helpful at the time.

Isabel Porter

The owner is so awesome and professional great experience will be recommending and returning for my leg tattoo..

Ophelia Fernandes

I've been here several times with my girlfriend and it's been a great experience everytime. The staff is very friendly and experienced in what they do. I have gotten piercings and tattoos here and both have healed beautifully. I recommend this place to all my friends, and I will be going back for my next tattoo!!

Nicole Buchina

I have had 4 piercings done so far by Jess, and each experience was phenomenal! She is super personable and is crazy sweet. She talks you through it and you watch her set up, so you know everything is sterilized. She is also incredibly quick with the actual piercing, so it is a lot less painful. I have brought my best friend and also my fiancee to her and they both love her. I will only ever go to her now!

collin huth

Had such a great experience here! Frankie did such a great job and was very very nice! Tattoo came out beautiful! ( got a bike tattoo. Matching with two other people.) I would love to reach out to Frankie through email so next month when I'm in RI I can see him again! Is there anyway to get his email or social media? Thank you see you guys soon!

JD Mariah

Very good tattoos! Joshua is amazing.

K

I called to get a piercing and I was told they don't have a piercer anymore..... I'm a little confused.

angie santiago

I came here a couple days ago for a piercing and it was a great experience. Everyone who was there was so polite and helpful. I would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a piercing/tattoo in Rhode Island.

Grace Brown

Jess was quick and skilled.

Katie Rostron

Great tattoo shop. Everybody is very friendly. Prices are reasonable and tattoos look fantastic

Ryan Bobillo

I had a terrific experience here! This shop can be a busy spot so I had to make an appointment a week ahead of time. A huge thank you to Josh Robinson for being upfront about his availability and working with my vision to ultimately produce an amazing tattoo. I highly recommend this spot!

Zoe Claire

This place is great ! The receptionist is lovely. I got three piercings in one sitting and the piercer was so awesome during it. Very clean and polite.

Sarah Dasilva

So friendly, comforting and kind. Its a bit far but totally worth it with the prices, quality and customer service. Really reliable

Stacy Hoover

Hopefully they will be reasonable and give me a refund for my crooked piercing. Fingers crossed. The woman at the desk told,me to come back in a week if i was still unhappy. Its not going to straighten itself, so ill still be unhappy and will be going back.

Victoria Braxton

She wasn’t the most friendly person not rude at all but not friendly. Went for the price. Got my nipples pierced and she made she it was very fast, which was very needed. But she didn’t tell me how to take care of the piercings at all.

stephen foell

This was my first time getting a Tattoo and I am nothing, but pleased with East Coast Tattoing and Body. I was a little nervous at first, but when I walked into a clean place and met Josh I felt great about it. Josh was the one who did my tattoo and I give him 5 stars for his artistic skills and customer service. I will be back for another one and I highly recommend this place.

Jessica Woodburn

Walked in for a septum piercing, walked out with a septum piercing. The piercer was super friendly and it was very clean.

Allan Stone

Got a tattoo today and it was done by Josh it was a great experience and it was fun we cracked jokes and we laughed the whole time he was really friendly and im gonna come back for sure to get another in the future.

Jackeline Sical

Went in today with my sister to get matching tattoos. Frankie was the artist and he did a really great job, my sister and I are happy with his work. He was a really chill funny dude. Definitely recommend him to anyone. Oo and my sister ended up getting her nipples Pierce by Nathan. He was hilarious and did a great job making her feel comfortable threw the little process. I will definitely be returning to this shop and will be telling people about it :)

shyanne fayolyn

really good, they would of gotten a 5 star but they didn’t explain much and the workers used unprofessional language and were kinda unfriendly. i got my rook pierced and it was really good and painless. they didn’t look that happy and were blasé.

Johnny Berrios

Awesome work and artists

Cat F

Just got my nipples pierced by Jess two days ago and had to go back yesterday because one was not where it was supposed to be. It had my nipple pointing to the side. The other side looks a lil deeper than it should be too but ill deal. She was friendly and nice. Didnt have a problem with repeircing it for me. The price was good. I got a peice of paper to tell me how to clean and care for it, i feel she should be a little more informative about what to do afterwards. Places i've been in past years had told me ; to do this, not to do that. Yes i said i have had other piercings so i know the basics, but instead of just being handed a paper after it was done, I would have liked a conversation to go with it about how to take care of a new piercing. Just saying it would have made me feel more secure that i went to the right place. Other than that i liked the place and people. Not bad.

Melisa Chagnon

Very clean and professional

Natalie Salgado

Had my nose pierced here and the process was pain free and everything went smoothly. Definitely would reccomend this place to my friends !

anora aragon

Horrible experience. I've gotten piercings and tattoos here before but I went in for a belly button piercing and came out with a surface piercing above my belly button. As in 2 random holes in my stomach. Went back to ask them about it and they just stared at me with no answers and the piercer Nate continued to patronize me, acting as if I was wrong for calling them out for giving me the wrong piercing. Extremely upset about this whole thing and hope no one else experienced what I did

Crystal Brogno

Absolutely adore coming here! Had my nipples pierced by Jess a little over a year ago and they came out perfect! She was gentle and accurate. I've had my tongue pierced by Nate and he's also done two of my tattoos. Very detailed and skilled in what he does! Very laid back and comfortable environment. Definitely a place I recommend often !

Antonio bayley

Great atmosphere. Great work done here. Frankie is the man dude does a great job every time. Highly recommend the shop and Frankie

Maria Rodriguez

Clean and they do excellent work. Especially cover ups...

Michelle Curry

I got a Breast Cancer Tattoo on 8-28-16 it was the first one i ever got. I was soo scared!! The artist i had was Josh. He was very professional. I highly recommend him. If i were ever to get another one he would be the one i would go to!! Thank you Josh for doing such a nice job!! I love my tattoo so much Josh you did an awesome job!!

Brandon Lamoureux

Good prices! Josh is a great artist! Highly recommended! One of the best around. Seriously.

Alisia Montes De Oca JMB

I looked up a few places in the area and called. This one not only had the best price, but it was quick, comfortable atmosphere, and she was a pro! I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a great, safe, and clean piercing!

Jamienata Lamin

Nice place and the owner is so great, love getting my tats here. Artists are dope and the place is clean.

Izzy Moreira

i went there for an eyebrow piercing. the woman who pierced it wasn’t very nice and has an attitude. but that doesn’t mean everyone will have a bad experience

Nelson Lebron

Daughter was happy

Tanysha Karliee

Wasted money paying for parking when this shop wasn’t open at the time it said

Nadyy J

I’ve been in this place for a couple times and I have to say Josh is my to go to. He’s the best, Can’t even feel the pain lol. But, today I went and he was doing a job that was going to take 5 hrs. Frankie tattooed me and he also did an AMAZING job. I highly recommend both of them.

Ashlee Giovanella

Francis is the man!

peter pytka

The artist I scheduled an appointment with was over an hour late. The artists that were currently present were unhelpful and lacked basic customer service skills. The staff handled the situation in an unprofessional way and due to this I am absolutely dissatisfied with my experience here. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

Rebekah McLaughlin

Both the owner and piercer were friendly and inviting. They truly go the extra mile to make a customer happy. Love my piercing!

A B

such a great experience and definitely my go to place for all piercing needs in the future. Nate was excellent and super friendly/calm dealing with my needy self twice in one week. Was having issues with my nose piercing and another piercer down the street refused to help me out twice saying it was impossible to fix, while Nate helped me out without hesitation! great prices as well. 10/10 recommend him to anyone in the area.

emmy hernandez

They were very unprofessional. The jewelry was not sterilized properly and the piercer appeared as if her focus was elsewhere. Poor customer service.

Gabrielle Travis

Best place in Rhode Island for all of your piercing needs. Ask for Jessica!!

Molly B

Ashley gave me a vertical labret back in January and it’s healed beautifully!! She also has super cute Juniper the fox stuff which is wicked awesome! Plan on stopping by tomorrow to pierce my tongue !!

Lacey Whitaker

Very clean place, nice people. Chris pierced my nose and Frankie did a small anchor tattoo on my foot. His lines are super clean. Both experiences were great and I would definitely keep going to East Coast for anything else I get.

Talia D

Came here to get my upper ear pierced and I was given wrong information on the phone. I was told that there was a ton of different jewelry to pick from but when I got there it was only a small barbell and a hoop. No one greeted me at the front desk and it took 15 minutes for someone to come out of one of the rooms and give me service. I could tell that the person that pierced me was getting annoyed when I was asking questions about the healing process. And the angle it was pierced at was really crooked and it got worse as it healed, so I went to a different tattoo shop to have someone look at it and the guy that looked at it said that the earring that it was pierced with was way too small and it was at a wrong angle. And they didn't have any jewelry you could buy to change it with, which I thought was odd considering that most tattoo shops have jewelry you can buy. The shop was very clean and the piercing itself barely hurt, but I was just disappointed that it was pierced crooked.

Kelly Teves

Jess was awesome! She tolerated me and my obnoxious friends and did exactly what I hoped she would do...give me a heads up of when my piercing was taking place and walk me through breathing I had already been practicing, haha! I was expecting my nose piercing to hurt, but I and my friends (knowing how much of a baby I am) were shocked at how I handled it. I swear...it felt like a little pinch! Smooth, fast, easy breezy. And it looks beautiful :) I highly recommend East Coast Tattoo :) Great customer service, great prices, and beautiful and clean environment.

Alyssa Lonchay

I've gotten two fantastic tattoos here and one piercing. I'm so glad they take walk-ins because both of them were completely random ideas that I wanted that day. They were professional and timely, however they also had some great line work and they were very clean. I highly recommend this place for all tattoo needs, especially for a walk-in tattoo. Awesome place!

Joel Lafrance

mamie seyon

I went there to get my belly button pierced. The environment looked clean .Jess, the piercer was fast and did a good job. But it’s like she didn’t want to be bothered. She made not the slightest attempt to have a conversation with me. I tried but it felt weird so I stopped. She wasn’t rude or anything, but a smile or a little conversation would have been better considering that it was my first time getting my belly pierced. When she was done she didn’t tell me anything else, like how to clean it how long it would take to heal and what to expect etc.... She handed me a piece of paper. I felt rushed like she didn’t want to be talk to or be asked any questions. My experience over all was ok but I went on YouTube to get information I should have gotten from HER! Which is overwhelming! Hopefully everything goes well with my new piercing!

Sharde Baker

Navel and nipple piercings here are a NO GO they’ use the wrong jewelry, they don’t offer internally threaded jewelry. They only offer externally threaded jewelry which should be avoided and causes irritation and pain... and my piercer was rude and impatient

Cordelia Calberson

Very clean and professional atmosphere. I got a navel piercing done a few months ago here and plan on going back to get my nose pierced soon!

esteban suero

I went for a cover up and what it was done has been the best. Josh I owe you a big one the way you incorporated into the tattoo I have was amazing. Thank you, you free me from a curse name (just joking). I will be going again for couple more tattoos

Raquel Kennedy

Not open during the hours they say they are. Happened to me twice trying to go into the shop.

Justine Palin

Pros: Every single other place I looked into charged at least double for the $35 tragus piercing I got at East Coast! The pricing is excellent and affordable- with the supplies, jewelry, and establishment upkeep and hygiene being just as quality as anywhere else! Very comfortable, personal feel in the shop, with large murals featuring local-themed art, multiple pool tables, television with movie and video game options, poker table, etc. Lots of tattoo option and jewelry displays as well. There is an extremely cute trash can in the bathroom. Professional and friendly artists. Con: I showed up about 30 minutes after the shop opened and still waited about 40 minutes before the piercer (whose name I didn't catch, sorry!) even showed up. (After calling to make an appointment and being told that it was walk in only, I feel like setting up an appointment may have avoided this issue.) However, I had nothing to do on that day, so it wasn't a problem for me. In fact, I enjoyed browsing the art and the personal touches in the shop! Thought this information would be helpful for the review, though. :)

Alexandra Botts

Fair price, good work offered by Jess (piercer) and Francis (tattooer)
