I love this place. Got two tattoos (including my first) and piercings here. Very professional but still a super chill and kind environment. I worked with 3 different members of staff and all of them were super insightful and knowledgeable. Always will be my top option.

I had two tattoo sessions with Deanna and they were amazing. The environment was comfortable, with lovely spooky/nerdy decor and great music. Deanna’s work is gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with it. The line work and shading are both just right. On top of that, Deanna gave me great care instructions and extra Saniderm so the tattoo healed quickly and safely. I have no doubt that I’ll be going back to Deanna for more tattoos.

I traveled all the way from Nantucket having made my appointment months in advance for a tattoo with Dave- i waited for about 30 minutes until another staff member notified me that dave “would not be coming in that day”. i am extremely dissatisfied with this experience and encourage others to take their business elsewhere.

I had a tattoo appointment originally scheduled for January 2022, and had to reschedule due to COVID issues. The shop was really helpful reaching out and getting me rebooked for March. My appointment with Deanna was great! The shop is easy to find and the folks there were kind and friendly and super helpful. I arrived early and was able to replace my nose piercing that I’d lost the night before while waiting for my tattoo appointment. Deanna was fabulous, I’ve admired her work for quite a while and I’m so excited to have her work on me. She was quick and careful, let me stop for stretches and explained the aftercare for the tattoo super clearly. Really really good experience. I also ended up having to message her the morning after as the saniderm had started to come off, and she was super responsive and helpful. Overall, really great experience and hopefully will be back soon!!

We do not

Do you guys do anti-brow piercings? And how much if so ?

Hello there! I'd recommend to come in for a consult to see if your anatomy is suited for that specific piercing. If it is, we would charge a $50 fee plus the cost of the jewelry.

Are piercers using masks + face-shields or just masks?

Hello there, my name is Brian and I'm the manager of the BTC. Minors who are looking to get pierced will need a valid photo ID, their parent or guardian with them with their own valid ID, as well as a birth certificate to prove the relationship. Only certain piercings are allowed to minors, all other services such as tattooing are explicitly for 18+ adults in the state of Massachusetts. If you have any other questions, please call any of our 3 locations.
