Neil England is one of the best artists globally. I can't recommended him enough. I've had a lot of work done by him and generally I give him an idea and let him run with it because I trust his expertise to make it look awesome. He hasn't let me down in 10+ years.

Staff was very nice ! I had Ray as my artist and he was patient and also quick. He talked to me through my first two tattoos and made the experience awesome! The location is a little odd (in the middle of almost nowhere) but it's worth it!

Maybe the tattoo artist is no longer there but i had a horrible experience. Said they couldn't do a tattoo smaller than a quarter dollar. And they filled in my tattoo with the same needle she outlined with. I didn't know any better hope you do or this post helps. Not only was it extremely painful, it looks so cheap.

My husband and I came here for our first tattoos ever (two each on three separate visits)--Neil England does absolutely incredible work, everyone's super nice, just a really fantastic experience overall. I can't say enough good things about our experience here.

My artist, coralynn, was fast and friendly and entertaining. My tattoo ended up exactly as I wanted it and she was very thorough with care instructions and took a photo of it for her snapchat. Very fun experience, I was a walk in and was out within about 45 minutes.

I went here to get a second tattoo, just script done on my side. I was hoping it would turn out amazing.The tattoo artist was very friendly and seemed like he knew what he was doing. When I got home I was able to see that my script was pretty messed up. Some of the letters were crooked, the back end of my tattoo was not aligned with the front. I was very upset considered getting the tattoo removed completely. I did raise my complaint to Empire, and the woman I spoke with was very rude on the phone. She told me to just come in and he'd fix it, I was hesitant and asked if he could show me how it would look prior to fixing it and she said no, to just come in and he'd fix the tattoo. When I did come in I asked him to take a look to see what he could do to fix the tattoo. There was more than one aspect of the tattoo that was messed up but he only focused on one of the letters, so I said I'd have to think about it and come back. I just ended up going somewhere else that could fix it for me because I just couldn't trust him to do a good job the second time around.

I recently got a walk in tattoo from Sam and it is definitely one of my favorite tattoos, he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend this spot!!

Incredibly customer friendly. Artists are flexible with scheduling. I've been getting tattoos for six years from different shops all over the Boston area. Empire is the shop, I want to get all of my work done from now on.

I'm sure they would do a great job with anything that's like a trace job but DO NOT go in if you want anything more than that. I wanted to get this beautiful image of an interpretation of A Stary Night by Van Gogh and I asked my artist if they would be able to do it ad they said yes. I ended up with a chicken scratch drawing that a five year old could have done. So unhappy with this tattoo.
