Hobo’s Tattoo

I have been to all of the Hobo’s locations including the one in Rochester and I have never had any issues with any of the artists or the tattoos received. I think with every experience in life, not just tattoos, you get out of it what you put in to it. You have to expect wait times when getting tattooed especially if the artist is drawing something custom for you. I have been tattooed by the owner as well as Andrew at this location and found this shop to be clean with lots of art (both theirs and from others) to look at while I waited. I would go back again as my experiences and outcomes have been great.

My husband and I made a trip all the way out to Portsmouth to Hobo’s, only to find that they didn’t have any openings today. Unwavering in our commitment to getting tattoos **today** we had them call the Rochester location, who ended up having time to take us. We piled back in the car and headed to the newest location of Hobo’s. I actually despise the town of Rochester, but was pleased with the multitude of free parking spaces right outside the shop, and the friendly and accommodating tattoo artist who greeted us. Although some more comfortable seating while waiting would have been nice, (the window seats made us feel like we were baking in an oven) we were pleased with the appearance and feel of the shop. It definitely has a similar feel to the shop in Portsmouth, albeit much smaller. I would drive to god-​forsaken Rochester just to get another tattoo here, especially from Spencer. He was professional, friendly, and most of all was kick-​ass at getting our tattoos exactly right. He even introduced us to some great new music. Will definitely be back. Bonus: prices at Hobo’s are beyond reasonable.
