Rising Tide Tattoo RI

I went today to get a very special (and first) tattoo in honor of my daughter's passing. The shop is super clean and inviting. James was the best... he gave me exactly what I wanted. Being that it was my first time, I told him what I was hoping for and he was able to put together a tattoo that is amazing! I would highly recommend him and his work!!

Hands down the best place to get tattooed. The shop is extremely clean, the staff is super friendly, and James is an amazing artist, with an unbelievable eye for color and detail. James and his wife, Rachel, are such genuine people, and it makes the whole experience just out of this world. I'm really happy with my piece, and I'm looking forward to my next session.

Right off the bat all employees there were professional and nice. They talked with me at length about my new tattoo and the various options. Went with the artist Meezo, he was AMAZING. Beyond satisfied with what I got and how nice he was. Got my daughter's name and he was also great at going through different fonts with me etc. Will definitely be back to see him for my next one!! 🙏

Great, clean shop with amazing artists. I have been tattooed by James and drew and both were awesome. Highly recommend. The chick at the desk, she’s an owner, is a pleasure too. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

Really nice and welcoming. The artist I had was dope and has awesome art work and portfolio. So glad I was able to come in and really enjoy the design and work he did. I would definitely come back to get another tattoo done.

Just got my newest tattoo here and the experience was amazing. Rachel at the desk is such a doll, sweet as can be. James did the tattoo and he is phenomenal. I couldn't be more in love with my tattoo or my time there. Can't wait to go back for more.

Have gotten multiple amazing tattoos from James. I highly recommend this shop to everyone. Lots of friends of mine and their family have gotten amazing work done at Paradigm. The shop is very clean, plenty of parking down the back and I really appreciate that the shops front entrance is a ramp for handicapable people.

The owner is rude and very unprofessional. We had an appointment with Heather who had to cancle appointment due to emergency. As we tried to reschedule the next day after calling, they told us to call back Heather was busy tattooing. We call back, no answer. We send their Facebook page a friendly message, they unprofessionally tell is they will no longer be doing the tattoo after we had an appointment for two months.

DREW! He’s Amazing, so caring and did an amazing job !! Drew made me feel like family and I was so comfortable with him ...Even the staff , was a very nice lady, she offered me some special numbing cream coz that was my first tatoo! Thank you so much for this amazing work and service.

I searched for an artist to start a project and ended up selecting one who is a part of this team. We set a date to start the project and I was given an email address of the artist. I attempted to contact via email to no avail. I wanted to see how the art was coming along before putting it on my body. Unfortunately three weeks before my appointment I was involved in a motorcycle accident and tried to reach out to let them know, I received no answer. They are nice, inviting and good artists in shop however.

Update: I was contacted via email after this post. Their email is not typically used for communication and they prefer phone calls. I increased the 3 star to 4.
