Spirit Gallery
207 Bank St, New London, CT 06320
My business combines my love of painting and illustration with the transformational power of tattoos. It also provides a link between artists and the community. I wanted Spirit Gallery to be a place where tattoo artists could express themselves creatively in an environment that was professional and relaxed, and reach out to the community to teach, entertain, and inspire the public. The goal was to show high quality artworks by local and international artists, bring in workshops by talented professionals to give the community educational and entertainment options in downtown, and to help eliminate the stigma against tattoo shops and tattoo artists. Spirit Gallery Tattoo is a place where people can come in for consultations about their tattoos, ask questions about the process, and feel welcome and comfortable. I created the business with a vision of peacefulness, transparency and creativity replacing the intimidation and secrecy that is usually associated with the tattoo world. We welcome all kinds of people, and really enjoy giving folks their first or fiftieth tattoo!
We combine a fine art gallery with the tattoo studio, and are heavily involved in local events, helping to transform downtown New London into a welcoming, fun, and thriving city. We have talented tattoo artists that all come from fine art backgrounds and work to create original pieces for each client - no flash on the walls! We also host workshops, town meetings, art classes, and sponsor downtown events like Halloween Town. We're very involved with the community and other local merchants. We want to see everyone succeed.

Provided by YP.comI have a full sleeve done by the shop owner, Blaze. She was very friendly and spent a lot of time working with me on the design until I was happy with it. When I first walked in, it felt like an art gallery more than a tattoo studio, bright, warm, clean, and inviting. Spirit Gallery is where to go for that original piece of art on your skin.

Provided by YP.comI got a tattoo at Spirit and was very happy with the tattoo. I have nine tattoos, and by far this is my favorite one.
