Boston Ink Body Art Specialist

Unfortunately as welcoming and nice the appointment setter was…. I was extremely disappointed. After waiting 2.5 hours we were told we needed to pay in full before being tattooed. Never have I ever nor my cousin (half body already covered) paid before getting a tattoo. We wasn’t comfortable with that and just think it should be discussed prior to appointment setting. Call me crazy but if I’m getting a tattoo can I see if I like how you draw the stencil at least first before I pay you?! We didn’t get to that step yet nor was offered to sign any paperwork.

The Staff was very kind and welcoming. The artist, Eric took time to go over my concept and improved on it. This was my first real tattoo/ cover up. He was very patient with me and gave me breaks when I needed them. This will be my go to spot.

I never write reviews but I had a horrible experience at this place and there are endless reasons I want to protect others from the experience I had. First off, the shop has an unprofessional environment. Not only were there kids running around, but the ONLY piercer showed up late, despite the fact that we had an appointment for four of us to get pierced that day. The shop is not as sanitary as it should be. The jewelry is kept in an open tray, uncovered and I felt so uncomfortable I asked the piercer to clean the jewelry before piercing me with it. Of course, something that I shouldn’t feel the need to say. Within less than I week I had to take one of my piercings out and go on antibiotics. The piercer was not properly trained. I asked her how long she’d been piercing and she said 6 years but I would be shocked if it was 6 weeks. She didn’t know where the conch piercing was. After piercing me and trying to put the jewelry in, she dropped the screw on ball down my shirt while trying to twist it on. The ball fell off of the barbell 3 days after she pierced me. And in less than two weeks the other piercing’s screw fell off too. My frustration came flying back and I had to write this review with the hopes that others will pick another tattoo and piercing shop over this one. OH and the 500 reviews for this shop are definitely fake, there’s no way 500 reviews would give this place 5 stars. I hope this helps someone!!

Yesterday 04/16/22 I went there for a touch up on the tattoo I have on my neck and I am very disappointed. My artist, Erick didn't do the full retouch, the part of the tattoo behind his ear is still just as faded. I also asked him to cover up a part of my old tattoo that was still showing and he added a weird detail to a part of the rose leaf which now looks worse. I paid $450 for this tattoo, I expected better. I am very disappointed. I also had to deal with harassment from another person who works there. I'm not sure what is the artist name, but he's the only light skinned person working there, this person stares at me in a way that makes me feel very uncomfortable and turns around and makes negative comments about me to others. The first time I went there I overheard him tell another member of staff that I'm a weirdo. The second time I went, his behavior was the same, but I chose to ignore it. I'm also not fluent in English, so there would be no way to confront him. I came to this place to pay for service that I expected to be excellent, but I ended up paying for bad service and i was humiliated, disrespected. And If there is anyone who should feel ashamed it is him because in the first place a good responsible father would never take his underage daughter to such a place like that and leave her unsupervised wandering among strangers. There is no professionalism in this place. I do not recommend.
