As an artist myself, and having owned two shops previously, one of the things that I expect when I walk in the door is a willingness to talk about options when dealing with a bad tattoo. The other is honesty. Ive seen bad tattoos - those that cant be fixed and those that can. I know the difference. Upon walking into this tattoo shop, the artist took one look at my arm and started telling me that he did not "want his name attached" to the mess on my arm, he was concerned about his "reputation". After that, he tells me that his apprentice may be willing to do the job. And finally, proceeded to tell me to have it lasered off. This tells me a few things - he doesnt have the confidence in himself to tackle a tough job, his precious reputation comes before his clients, and his ego is overwhelming any good sense. So, I went to Diversified Ink around the corner, where I was treated quite respectfully, and the artist I spoke with - Abby Lusk - thought the repair was very fixable. Hmmm. As far as I am concerned, a REAL tattoo artist should know his/her limitations, and not be afraid to admit them. If you cant handle the job, just say so. A recommendation pointing me in the direction of an artist that can tackle the job doesnt hurt either. I know. Ive done exactly that, and in return I have customers that are very loyal. To the artist - your reputation only matters to you. The rest of us dont give a damn, we just want our tattoos done - fixed, touched up, new, whatever. Instead of thinking about your name, try thinking about how you can serve the needs of the client, because that is why you are there. To give the client what THEY want, not what you think they should or shouldnt have. As an aside - working on this mess wouldnt have hurt your reputation at all, no matter how it turned out. But you might have had a very happy client giving you a good rating here, instead of someone who will recommend, in person and online, to avoid your shop at all costs. Not only in Bangor, but across the entire eastern seaboard as well as most of New England, and most of the northern states. Think that over the next time you want to put your "name" and "reputation" before the client.

I have been a client of Blind Faith Tattoo for nearly 10 years. D.J. Price and Autumn Tierney take pride in their work and treat every client like their only client. Their shop is extremely clean, cared for, and well organized; exactly the kind of qualities you need to look for when choosing the right artist in the right shop. D.J. Price and Autumn Tierney are notoriously honest and will not just tell you what you want to hear. They give honest feedback to help you find the perfect design or idea. Both have different styles of tattooing but they come together and reflect each others unique talents wonderfully. All of my work holds their color well, heals normally, and looks as bright as the day I got it. If youre looking for true professionals who will mark you for life - they are the ones to go to.

The man was very rude to me. I had him do a tattoo for me and he grinnded the needle into my skin. to this day it still swells up and itches at times. I have 2 tattoos so far and the other dont do that. he did it in a hurry. I bet he is a good tattoo artist for some people but for me i will never go back to him. Note to the Owner: This the tattoo idea i sent to u and the one u gave me looks nothing like it. I will take my canvas to a proper tattoo artist who does what the customer wants

Ive been to SO many tattoo shops in my day, but Ive never had a more pleasant, positive experience as I have at Blind Faith. DJ and Autumn are both expert artists and make the client feel comfortable and confident when getting their tattoo. Ill never go anywhere else! The environment is laid back, everyone is super friendly and easy to talk to, and the shop is CLEAN and sterile. Both DJ and Autumn are good people to the core and Im so glad I gave their shop a chance!

Highly recommended. Chris had some equipment issues during my session and did everything in his power to make sure my tattoo will come out perfectly. Ended up scheduling another session to finish it up. It was very clear he takes immense pride in his work and cares very genuinely for his customers satisfaction. I have complete confidence he will get it perfect when I go in for my follow up! Everyone else was very pleasant and helpful as well!

Blind Faith is the best tattoo shop in town, without question. D.J. and Autumn are both true artists in every sense of the word, as well as total pros. If you can imagine it, they can make it a reality. Theyre both masters of a number of styles, from old school to abstract. Blind Faith has a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that always makes doing business there a pleasure.

Blind Faith always offers a clean, comfortable environment. D.J. Price came up with the design for my first big piece and hes been tattooing my husband for years. My experience here has always been enjoyable...it only hurts a bit. D.J. And Autumn take their work seriously and they should, theyre pretty great at it.

Dj Price is a fantastic artist. An actual real artist, you wont see any flash racks in this studio. If youre serious about quality work, theres nowhere better than Blind Faith Tattoo. Autumn is an amazing artist as well. Be careful though, she bites hard! Youre a towel...
