Rising Tide Tattoo RI

Cool, friendly atmosphere! Me and my friend got Tatted by Russ. Super nice, funny dude. My friend went not too long ago and was tatted by Heather, who I was told is super nice. All around awesome place!! 100% recommend!

James recently did a cover up tattoo and it came out better than I expected. His attention to detail will keep me going back for all my tattoo work. Very satisfied with the realism!!

Heather is AMAZING! I brought my daughter, Cailyn, here for her 18th Birthday and it has been a continuing journey ever since! Heather does superior work, as do ALL the artists at Paradigm. Also extremely clean with a great all around vibe. Highly recommend!

I had been following them on Facebook for awhile. My mom, my aunt and I went to the tattoo convention in CT and we saw their booth and knew we wanted them to do our tattoos. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor so we all got matching pink ribbon tattoos. Meezo was the best, he was so fun yet professional. He took a lot of time to design their tattoos (an anchor with a ribbon) he made it perfect for them. He did the same for mine, which was a butterfly with a pink ribbon. They came out amazing, we love them. 100% would recommend Meezo & Paradigm!

I looked online for some time before choosing this shop for my tattoo. When I went in I was told to look through the book to choose who I wanted to do my work. I ultimately chose Drew whose work was amazing however, I ended up waiting over an hour for him to show up even though I kept being assured he would be there any minute. After meeting with him I made an appointment for a few weeks out to start my half sleeve. He told me to text him a photo of something I wanted in the piece and that he would send me photos in the meantime of ideas he came up with until then. I recieved nothing. Two days before my appointment I received a cancellation and two alternative dates to reschedule that would not fit my schedule. When I told Rachel this she texted back asking why I couldn't come on a Friday. Again, I told her this didn't fit my schedule. The next date out was weeks away. I ultimately asked for a refund of the deposit I put down and was texted back that this was non-refundable. This was never explained to me at the time I put the funds down. Their work may be good but their practices are certainly unprofessional. I'll be filing a claim with my bank for the return of my money since I never received any services and I already found another studio.

EDIT: I recieved an email after this post offering to refund my money because I hadn't signed the proper paperwork stating otherwise and asking me to remove my rating. Due to the fact that everything in my initial review was true and they never refunded anything, I DID have to go through my bank to get my money back, my warnings still hold. Watch out for these people. And if you want a STELLAR shop that doesn't play games with people, check my reviews for who I went with for my work ;)

Awesome experience, very professional will definitely be going back for all my Tattoo needs. James has such amazing talent a true artist. Thanks for everything

I always look forward to going to paradigm tattoo. And when I do, I am never disappointed. The work is second to none, the shop is clean and beautiful, and the atmosphere is inviting. I recommend anyone who wants a tattoo, this is the place to go.

Best experience I've ever had in a tattoo shop, I was so happy throughout every part of my appiontment. James Scott is such a talented artist, I cant wait for my next session !

James, Heather, and Drew are all great artists. Rachel is a sweetheart. Very clean shop and super professional work!
