Arrows and Embers Custom Tattoo

I can't recommend Anastasia highly enough, she is truly amazing! She's done three tattoos for me now, including a large black & grey botanical piece on my arm, and they are all spectacular.

It's such a gift to have an artist like this locally- to have someone with this level of skill, artistic vision, and who's invested in the newest tattoo technology- she's amazing. Thank you so much for another wonderful piece!

Luna was great. Had to make a minor change but it wasn't a hassle at all. Quick, and professional. I love my new tattoo!

Luna is so so wonderful over here at Arrows and Embers!! She was unbelievably sweet and so kind and welcoming to us! Our tattoos came out absolutely amazing and we will 1000% be back in the future.

Just had a watercolor tattoo done by Anastasia and my mind is blown. I sent her some pictures and gave her a description of what I had in mind - and what she came up with for artwork is incredible and unmatched. It is far more beautiful and detailed that what I had envisioned and captured what I wanted perfectly. I am in love with it and want a full sleeve (and more!) from her and only her.

Sean and the entire staff at Arrows and Embers are very down to earth and approachable. I went in for my tattoo and it was a fantastic experience. The entire experience was very comfortable and welcoming. This is a fantastic establishment and I'd recommend it to everyone. Check the work of them of these artists - you'd be shocked at what you can do!

Update: the piece came out absolutely perfect! First session healed completely with no issues, with the expectation that the second session will do the same. The next experience was even more accommodating than the first one.

10/10 would recommend to anyone. I won't be going anywhere else.

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your 50th you can’t go wrong with these guys. Sean does amazing work and I simply wouldn’t get a tattoo from anyone else

I first wandered into Arrows and Embers when it was located on Pleasant Street in downtown Concord about seven years ago. I was looking for an artist to do a cover-up, righting one of my past mistakes, and I went to a couple of shops whose "artists" said it couldn't be done. However, when my then-girlfriend (now wife) and I went into Arrows and Embers, we met Sean and he was immediately optimistic and excited, yet tempered and realistic. We discussed ideas and settled on something which turned out fantastic after only two sessions. This tattoo goes from my armpit to my waste and you would never know it covers another. Needless to say, we were ecstatic and I have since never considered another artist.

I've since had many more tattoos from Sean over the past seven years. In my humble opinion, he is the best of the best. Anyone who has given him a bad review should really take a good, long, difficult look in the mirror (because chances are, if you think everyone else is crazy, it's probably not everyone else!). Some people are just plain unreasonable; it really is true that no matter your disposition, you can't please everybody. That said, Sean is easygoing, very easy to talk to about anything and exceptional at his craft.

If you are considering getting work done by Sean, be prepared to wait or book your appointment as early as possible, as he is often booked out for ten months to a year in advance. Considering this, his prices are more than reasonable; in fact, he could easily command a higher price and people would pay it. if you are looking for flash tattoos from wall posters, don't bother because Arrows and Embers is a custom tattoo shop. If, however, you are looking for art that makes you happy every time you look at it on your skin, then you couldn't pick a better artist or a better shop.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the responsiveness of the people working in the shop, and this is especially true of Jenn. She's always friendly and it adds significantly to the vibe of the shop.

Everyone in the shop is extremely friendly. Arrows and Embers hands-down has the best artists and the best atmosphere. I'm always looking forward to my next session for the art and the conversation.

I can not express how amazing Anastasia is! I haven't had work done in almost 12 years. The work I wanted done was important to me. I had to cancel twice because of COVID issue. The team here was understanding and great. Eventually I got in and was able to start the work. It isn't 100% done but so far it's looking amazing. Yes its take a long time but you can't rush perfection.

Hands down the best tattoo shop I've been to! They have 3 very talented artists all with different specialties and all are amazing! Sean is my artist and always will be. His color work is absolutely to die for and looks just as fresh in year 5 as it did on day one! If you are looking for epic artists in NH they are right here at Arrows and Embers!! Amazing work by amazing people and well worth waiting for!!

Had a half sleeve project completed here with Sean, and beyond happy with the end result. The shop is clean and orderly, but the energy is still casual and relaxed. The other artists are all super friendly and definitely interested in each others work.

As for the actual tattoo process, this is a custom shop, so no flash or art to pick out from a book. Worth every dollar for the skill and experience. They provide thorough after care instructions and even checked in to see how I was healing.

It felt much like hanging out with friends while getting inked rather than sitting in a chair and riding out the pain. Definitely one to the best shops in NH!
