I couldn’t have imagined what a magical, cathartic, profound experience my tattoo sessions with Shug would be!!! Absolutely incredible and the end result is a beautiful back piece that makes me feel more complete and is a wonderful expression of my spirit.
Shug is not only an amazing artist, he is a guru. I deal with anxiety and was nervous that the sessions would be awkward for me. The music he played set a great mood and his energy was very calming and therapeutic. I gained much more than ink from the sessions, it was a major release. Things I’d been holding onto flowed out of me through the pain, music and conversation.
I had a 15 year old, faded back tattoo that I’d ignored for years and dreamed of getting fixed. As my elopement approached I realized the importance of fixing the tattoo as a gift to myself. I wanted it to be reborn in a sense and reflect my growth and spirit. Shug was VERY accommodating and worked with my last minute timeline, as I wanted to have it done before my elopement. Instead of having an old faded tattoo that I wanted to have covered, I was able to find the perfect dress that complemented the piece and show it off with pride.
This tattoo means more to me than words can say and it wouldn’t have been the beauty it is if I hadn’t trusted Shug’s talent and gone with his advice. He is a true artist and I encourage anyone who goes to him to trust his vision, you will not be disappointed!
It’s also worth noting that the healing process was incredibly smooth. Shug provided me with simple, detailed care instructions that allowed me to treat my fresh ink properly. It was insane how well it healed between each session! My elopement pictures were taken less than 3 weeks from the last session.
I have attached some photos from my special day, as well as the before picture and some progress pics. Getting this tattoo is the best money I have ever spent on myself. I am forever grateful to Shug! Beyond blessed to have such talent right here in Maine! :)

I am so happy I had chosen Shug to be my new Tattoo artist. The inviroment is comfortable, the conversations we had were absolutely amazing and the way he payed attention to detail was like non other! We did a perfect collaboration on our ideas and art and the results were beyond my expectation! I was not kidding when I told him being there and having him do this beautiful art on me was the best experience I had ever had and it's literally an Arm party while working on this piece that means so much to me! Here you will see exactly what I am talking about! There is no doubt who I will be using for the rest of my tattoos. That's for sure. I can't wait to have additional memories made and more beautiful colab art in the future! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have nothing but great things to say about this tattoo studio, and the artist, Shug. He gives his clients 100% of his focus, right from the start during the consultation, through to the completion of the artwork, and even weeks afterward. Most importantly, he adds an ethereal element to the experience, by ensuring that he has captured his client's intention in life, whether it be to work through barriers, inspire motivation, release, grief, and any intention you can think of in between. This intention is at the core of each art piece, and he infuses this into the art during the tattoo process. It is a very spiritual, energetic process, that makes the tattoo much more than just a decorative piece. There is genuine power behind the art that will benefit the wearer.
Additionally, his line work, coloring, and shading skills are top notch. His studio is clean, comfortable, well-ventilated, and well-lit. I felt comfortable throughout a 6 hour session, with great communication to make sure I had enough breaks, water, etc. I highly recommend this tattoo shop.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. Shug offers a unique, intentional setting and made me feel as comfortable as I could getting a six hour foot piece. He free handed and designed the piece on the spot. His creativity is unmatched!
