Custom Art Clean Shop Efficient Customer Service Professional Artists Good Tattoo Experience

One of my favorite tattoo shops in MA. Looking for some true custom art, look for Coralynn Rowell. She is creative, customer focused, and a true artist. The shop itself is clean, with a great reception area and service. I've seen them take all walk-ins no matter how insane the ask is, and someone is always there to help. I also appreciate how you can put gratuity on your credit card since I've been places that do not offer that feature. Highly recommend for a good tattoo experience. The artists are all professional with a lot of experience and the front desk is run very efficiently with friendly, effective customer service.

empathetic skilled helpful

Went there today for a very important tattoo with my sister, niece, and nephew. My mom passed this past Sunday so feelings are very raw and new .We wanted my mom's signature that actually is a flower that she did not a name. We gave him the writing sample and expressed how important that it was to match. He took the time to go over every aspect of what would work best what could happen and what would be the best way to do what we wanted. We all got the same thing in different spots and they all look like she took a pen and drew it herself. I'm so happy with this experience and will definitely be back to see him in the future. Thank you for helping our healing process.

Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior Bad Experience

Spent a decent amount of money on a large tattoo, tipped very well and couldn’t even get scheduled in for a touch up a few weeks later, kept on getting the run around from Joe, I was finally told I can get a spot if I wanted more extensive continued work done.
From the beginning I had no direct line of communication with my artist and was forced to deal with his extremely unorganized, rude, unprofessional, assistant/apprentice Joe. Overall it was a decent tattoo but a horrible experience, poorly run business that has no concept of customer service, go somewhere else.

Great Service Accommodating Staff Walk-ins Welcome

Tis an Empire--they have three locations that I know of. I've had a shockingly hard time finding a place to help me finish my hand tattoo, not because of the words but because a lot of places just won't. But they communicated with me rapidly and had me in the next day. They take walk-ins too!

Great Service Reasonable Price Talented Staff

Came in out of town on business. Squeezed me in last minute, corresponded by email to sketch my design same day, super attentive front desk, majorly talented apprentice, and very reasonably priced. Could not have had a better experience. PERFECT TATTOO JOINT and I'm covered in them. Will def come back. :)

Comfortable Experience Friendly Staff Custom Tattoo Recommendation

Very comfortable first tattoo experience :) everyone is super friendly. Corii made a really special custom piece for me and I couldn't be happier with it. Would recommend to anyone looking for small pieces or larger projects. Will definitely be coming back :)

professional comfortable patient artist personable owner immediate booking professional work

These guys and gals are incredible. The space is professional and comfortable, with rooms for each artist and their customer. My artist was very patient with me, and the owner was personable. They booked me immediately and I couldn't have asked for better or more professional work.
