Reviews of Yankee Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

AJ

Out of all honesty this shop isn't that bad. They will do alright tattoos and when I say alright don't expect to be getting something you see on tv. These people tattoo in a raw style. They don't know the meaning of gentle and really do not give a care in the world of what YOU want they are not into it unless it fits them. Unless you are in the sons of anarchy don't even bother going here. The staff is rude from the receptionist at the desk to the artist in the back. I could tell none of them wanted to be there which is a recip for disgusting work on your body. Let alone they over charged me by about 60 dollars. This place didn't only make me not want to go back it made me not even want to get another tattoo.

frederick watkins

Jason did some Awsome free hand work

Gary Pasquale

They do great work .I got so ink from Anthony and talked with bald bill . Great spot but u have to park on the street

Maxine Kravitz

Best tattoo shop. Professional and clean. Everyone feels like family, wonderful and friendly even outside of the shop. My mom travels from Philadelphia just for Bill, the owner, who specializes in nautical tattoos. All the artists are super talented and skilled beyond the classic Americana tattoos they are known for.

Sara McClanahan

I had a super great experience! The piercing was very well done and professional. I've had a few piercings and it was definitely one of my better experiences. It was a good price compared to the other one's I've gotten.

kelly Jean smith

Nicole Crawford

Anna Hewitt

Love my tat and the staff was friendly and nailed what I wanted. Think it was Jason who did the work and he was great. Nice and friendly. Barely felt a thing and it was awesome work!

JoAnne Rice

Love going here! Open, fun and wecoming; Jim is my artist but they are all amazing and so sweet.

Tanner

Great staff with a very clean and professional atmosphere. Anthony did an amazing job sketching and inking. Completely satisfied with my overall experience.

I got a double helix piercing on my left ear and a third lobe piercing on each ear by Nick. Staff is extremely friendly and informative. Nick is a great piercer, able to give easy information quickly as well as additional information through a pamphlet to take home. The process of piercing was simple as well, with Nick telling when to inhale and exhale. The price was also reasonable too! $70 for double helix and $30 for the two lobes totalling to $100. I'll be returning in the future when I decide to get an industrial piercing as well as tattoos. Thank you for the great service!

lynn williamstonkin

Anthony Audy is an amazing artist. Visit #10 was great.

Jordan Swisher

Excellent experience from start to finish. Ross was very helpful with setting up an appointment and Jay did a perfect tattoo. The atmosphere was chill and inviting. Would highly recommend!

Rileigh Hardy

I've had a few tattoos done here and I've loved every one of them. All the staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is great. If you're looking for quality ink in Burlington this is the place to go.

Brian E

I've had 3 ink pieces done in this parlor over the past 10 years by Jason Tooth. Clean facility and attentive staff made my experiences here enjoyable. Haven't gotten any piercing done myself, but brought a friend to have her upper lip frenulum done and she said it went awesome. I'm sure they get tired of tatting and piercing all the newbie college kids in town, but they still do it with professionalism and attention to detail. Definitely reputable and well known in the industry (BILL). My opinion, best shop in town.

Rapper The_realest_struggle

AMAZING cover-up on my neck! Definitely coming back for ALOT more work! I'm so happy and completely impressed!! I have 42 tattoos and have had horrible shop experiences.. so I needed a great place like this! Thank u! Price is awesome and so is the work and comfort zone! Not to mention it wasnt half as painful because hes a pro and knows jus how deep to go into the skin! Real tattoo artists.. not con-artists????- - Thanks Eric

Erin Morse

Wonderful experience, providing proof of vaccination put my mind at ease and all their staff were very friendly. Went in for a piercing and definetly will go again!

Katie Wilhite

My friend and I had piercings done by Nick and he was AWESOME! Nick was so kind, professional, informative and hilarious. We laughed and had a great time. Literally the most painless piercings of all time. Highly recommend Nick & Yankee Tattoo!

Denise Lewis

I found the staff cold. And not really into my tattoo as I would have liked. I got a arm band done. One all the way around my arm. Just under my chinese symbol of dream. My friend and I had found a design I liked and altered it to suit me. And brought it to have put on. The girl that did me. She seemed to be in a different head space then being there. I don't think I will be going back there because of it.

Desiree Vo

I was very pleased when I went in for a cover up & my expectations were blown out of the water. I went in really not caring what went over the old tattoo and Jason drew this beautiful rose that went over most of the old lines. I would tell anyone looking for great work to go to Yankee Tattoo

Charlie Eng-Lambert (clairebot9000)

this place was AMAZING. put me in short-notice (there was a cancellation), the piercer was super professional and hilarious and kind. i forgot their name (Nick i believe, really 10/10) but they were super sweet and described the process to me so i felt like i was in good hands. i was! their piercing job was amazing, quick, and straight. if you have any questions about this place, let me put them at ease - they’re amazing. and the front desk person is literally the cutest person in the world :P

Daisy Moore

Their work is beautiful and I've never seen such patient artists. They make sure you are absolutely happy with size, placement, etc. before they begin. Everything is very clean and professional.

david bell

Walkens welcome,nice place .

Kirsten Enegren

The piercers there are phenomenal. Would definitely go back

Kathleen McCarron

Thank you Bill for creating the most beautiful matching tattoo experience with my girlfriends!!

Andrew Hood

My wife got a tattoo she'd been thinking about on a whim. Walked in without an appointment and got the best tattoo (a paragraph of fine text) by an excellent artist. The best!

Pat Buono

Got my first tattoo done here with Bald Bill. He was incredibly easy to work with, and obviously knows his stuff. Total master of tattooing (hes been doing it for over 35 years). Gave me a fair price that was less than the hourly rate would've caused me to pay, since it took much longer than he expected. Very friendly environment the entire time, from drawing consultation to the final results. I recommend this shop to anyone in the Burlington area, Bald Bill is a hidden talent up here in Vermont. Very clean, set up my machine right in front of me, and took care the entire time. I will most certainly be back for more work in the future. Go here!

Faith Ryan

Anthony was so great! I am so in love with the tattoos he did for me!! And I will defiantly be going back to see him!!

Taylor Boomhover

Anthony is hands down one of my favorite artists. He really gets a handle on the person you are. The environment is also very laid back and relaxed.

Nicole Arbo

They were all very helpful and kind and gave me the exact tattoo I wanted!

Sam Brown

Very professional staff, got my first tat here

Nina Teed

I've been going there ever since Georgie was there! Great job. I will say from experience to not base your opinion off of one person you interact with. Just got my nose pierced there and I absolutely love it.

MrColdHollow

I was hoping to have special tattoo done but was unable to do so at this location. Customer service was good and would have used this location if I had been able too.

Ryan O'Keefe

Amazing work from an amazing staff!!!!

Rob Raynsford

This place is amazing!!!!!! First off, Nick who does piercing is a top notch professional. He gives great description and options. He is really kind. And his work was amazing. I recommend going to him. He is there most weekdays. Then I went to Eric for a tattoo. He does amazing work. He really does a lot of research and asks a lot of questions of what you want. He takes great pride in his work. I'm so pleased with my tattoo. And he still has more to finish up. Can't wait!!!!

Diedre Seeley

Very happy with their work

cynthia trimble

Great art. Listened to what I wanted and made it happen.

Lisa Fuhrmann

Such a great tattoo shop! The staff was able to squeeze in my partner and I on the weekend and we're so appreciative that they did. Bill and Eric did such great work - Eric did a really detailed tattoo for me that I am so happy with. Bill was such a kind soul and worked hard to make sure my partner could get his tattoo, he even stayed late for us. Bill has so many great stories and it was a joy talking to him. Bill even helped recommend places for dinner since he could tell we were both getting hungry and didn't know the area. I would 100% go back here for a tattoo anytime I'm in Vermont. :)

Gloria Martin

The artist was very patient with me and answered all my questions

Chad Lemnah

I took my son to get a consult on his first tatoo and they were very short with answers and dismissive. When we made the appointment for the consultation they seemed very nice and told us that the artist would sit down and discuss the tatoo, draw something up then make the appointment for the real thing. We get there 10 min early and they send us away for starters then when we finally get to talk to the artist we really got the idea he did not want to be bothered. He did not offer to sit down and brainstorm instead he just said send me the pic in a email and "I will draw something up then you can come back to see if you like it". Something we could have done over the phone. It was just a poor way to handle business.

Melissa DeCicco

New favorite piercing place! very professional and very knowledgeable! Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Timothy Oldaker

Jay was really nice he is really good at tattooing me and my wife are very happy with his work.

Kevin Shepard

Debbie Reese

Piercer was awsome!! Clean quick and thourough

Larissa Morrison

I saw Nick today to get an industrial piercing in my ear. He was amazing. Very informative, calm and collect d and great energy. Been pierced a few times and this one barely hurt. I was thoroughly impressed all around. Great experience! I highly recommend Nick for any of your piercing needs.

Jennifer

Got my first tattoo here and had a great experience. Came in with the design, they resized it and it came out great. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Ernest Garcia

Balled Bill did my Devil girl tattoo in 2 hours and did a great job. Very professional and can schedule easy. My go to place to get new ink. Anyone that wants a tattoo go there. Just got second tattoo at yankee tattoo, and again Bill great. Had my new pisces zodiac/yin-yang tattoo done head of projected time. He is the master.???? Gave $50 tip to show appreciation. Thanks Bill???? Just before covid-19 hit hard,I had Balled Bill do this witch (W.I.P.). Love it.???? Has an LNA I got this tattoo to reward myself for getting my LNA licence.

Alexia Parker

My friend and I went here to get piercings from Nick and he was absolutely amazing. He was so comforting and personable it was a really great experience.

Grace Davis

I have left 4 voicemails and they won't answer my calls, yet a friend called and was answered right away. Unreliable and quite unprofessional in my opinion

Kate Castonguay

This is a piece (not quite done) by Jim. It started as a cover up and to my own fault I hadn't gone back for 4 years after he did my initial outline. We started in on the color yesterday and after 4 years Jim remembered who I am and the outline before seeing it again. The crew there is friendly, comfortable to be around and incredibly talented. In the hours I spent there just for this I have seen many first tattoos and the artists do a great job making everyone feel comfortable. The top of this picture is where my cover up is. It was a dark, ugly tattoo I was embarrassed about. After being with Jim a few times and his ideas based around my interests, he showed me this drawing and it was a go. I'm very excited to finally finish it and would tell anyone to go there with confidence. I had a piercing changed out there as well and again same level of service. I would check out their Facebook page to see the different artists styles but know that no one would disappoint.

Steven Lawrence

Great art good people

Ellie Crandall

The guy who did my tatt was very gental and was heavy handed

tuck

Great, professional staff, super nerdy and friendly went above and beyond my expectations. Though I did get stabbed many times.. In this case it was a good thing!

Luke Gould

If you are in Burlington STEER CLEAR of this place. My tattoo was quite bad to say the least and had many botched lines. I asked for a simple geometric piece and I got jipped hard. Save yourself some time and money and head over to Event Horizon. They were much more professional and fixed mine up. Don't go here people.

Beth Allard

Rude!

Kendell Roach

Friendly, professional atmosphere. Color and lines were solid, but the dimensions were slightly off.

shannon colford

Amazing work abd quick work and superb company. I had an amazing time while I was there.

Taylor Duval

Let me start out by say Nick is AMAZING. My friend and I had appointments to get our nipples pierced, and our appointment ended up being with Nick. He was both incredibly professional and laid back. All around enjoyable guy. My friend and I were both very nervous about getting the piercings, but with 13 years of experience under his belt, Nick was able to calm our nerves with ease. He talked us through everything, answered any questions we had, and performed the piercings so fast we barely knew it happened. Both he and his work station were very clean and well organized. It was by far the best piercing experience I had ever had, and I've had a lot!

Michelle Bailey

Great!!

Melissa Brooks

Anthony is an amazing artist! I give him four ☆☆☆☆☆!

Amanda Almquist

Couldn't have asked for a better person to stick me with a needle :)

Anne Hall

As far as I'm concerned the best place for tattoos. Love Bill and Jim ????????

Tori L

I was just in Burlington on business and decided on a whim to get second holes in my earlobes (again - after a failed first attempt at a piercing pagoda back in high school). After an internet search of local tattoo/piercing shops and a deep dive into Yankee Tattoo’s Yelp, Google, and Facebook reviews, I decided to swing by to see if they took walk-ins. I’m so glad I did! Nick was a total peach: very informative, fun, and funny. While I’m no stranger to tattoos and the occasional piercing, my pain threshold could be accurately described as “zero”. Nick talked me through the entire process plus aftercare, and the piercing itself was pretty quick and painless! Highly, highly recommend, and after these bad boys heal up, I’m hoping to be back again for my 3rd holes and - if I’m really feeling crazy - a cartilage piercing or two. Thanks Nick!!

Derick LaMadeleine

Absolutely outstanding! I got a daith piercing, and was pretty nervous. Nick, with over 10 years experience, explained everything in depth of what exactly to expect, and how to treat it. He completely built up my confidence and it went really smoothly. He also did One of my lobes that was not pierced, and made sure that it was completely symmetrical with the piercing in my other lobe. Highly recommend Yankee Tattoo!! Thank you so much Nick!!

Cody Stfrancis

Good place to go for art work

Sarah

Incredible, knowledgeable, thorough staff. Great experience for new piercing.

Josh Bates

All around a great experience for getting a custom drawn tattoo from Eric! Very excited for future work done by Yankee tattoo

Brielle Bisceglio

Eric was wonderful! Talented and welcoming into their shop. Not my first tattoo experience, but he made me feel completely at ease with fun conversation and his skill. Thank you!

Hayden Mann

My tattoo came out amazing! The gentleman who did it was amazing! I highly recommend this place for tattoos or piercings! Seriously, great place and great people! Couldn't be happier!
