Blue Iris is a private tattoo studio boutique located in beautiful Merrimack, New Hampshire. Located off the Everett Turnpike on Daniel Webster Highway, Blue Iris is conveniently nestled between Nashua and Manchester.

When Paul Teves, owner and artist, originally conceived the idea for a private studio he had decided that the element of a "boutique" would be unlike anything else in this area. The idea was to create a unique environment that encouraged the client's mind and eye to merge with the artist's mind and eye to create an entirely custom piece.

Your time here at Blue Iris is scheduled in advance with design consultations highly encouraged. As an appointment-only business, the artists are able to spend ample time meticulously crafting your ideas and bringing them to life with their art. It is this notion that enables quality craftsmanship in an environment that allows artists to work without time constraints and third party pressures. We believe this is the greatest asset to our clientele, because every time you walk in the door, you know your wants and needs are of utmost importance.
