The Boston Tattoo Company

Deanna tattooed me and my buddy Lou (and has for over a year)- she helped us flesh out a rad design, and has single-handedly produced the coolest sleeve I’ve ever seen (with one feature). It was a great experience, she’s super chill to talk to and her work speaks for itself, but I’ll still talk about it the designs she helps flesh out are unreal. Fantastic experience, very professional, excellent work.

Dee has been tattooing me for a little over a year and a half now. Every time I go see her, I give her an idea and she turns it into an absolute dream.
She’s speedy with amazing line quality and I’m always stoked about the final product. She’s always super professional about her work and she’s such a delight to talk with. I’d give more than five stars if I could, I love being her regular.

The last time I went for a consult here, Deanna spent five minutes with me. I went ahead and got the tattoo, which was mediocre. I had to wait 20 minutes for her to finally come get me. Today, I was seven minutes late because I could not figure out the parking machine. She refused to see me. I had already sent her photos, so it wouldn’t have taken but a few minutes. I had traveled 40 minutes and taken a day off work. How entitled is that?

Got my septum pierced by Leslie and it was a fantastic experience!

I had a great experience with Alicia Thomas. I first reached out to her in August 2019 with some rough ideas around what I was hoping to get. She had me come in for a consultation in early September, through which she was very patient with my lack of knowledge around the tattoo process (as a first-timer). I paid a deposit and scheduled my appointment for early 2020, and was happy to learn that she had a cancellation that allowed me to move up my appointment (late Nov 2019).

On the day-of, she was very kind and professional. Because my tattoo design was roughly inspired by my wedding henna (and I had asked her to design something that echoes the original without replicating it), she gave me a few different options to select from. I asked her to combine elements and make revisions on the design - not once, but twice - and was very happy with the final result. She then placed it on my arm and we made some tweaks yet again before she got to work.

Throughout the actual tattooing process, she was gentle but efficient! Breaks were taken when needed but the light chit chat, her speed of work and overall pleasant environment made the painful parts go pretty quickly. She then gave me thorough information on my aftercare, and responded extremely quickly to an aftercare question I had a few weeks later.

The tattoo has healed up nicely, and the end-to-end experience with Alicia was fantastic. Her passion for her work was evident, and I'm grateful she was willing to channel it towards my piece!

I’ve been tattooed by Sarah, and I have been pierced by Brian. Sarah is super cool and a great artist. She does great work and is super fun to work with. When I am tattooed by her, she is always making me feel as comfortable as possible throughout the entire experience. You can definitely tell she enjoys tattooing her clients.

Brian gave me three piercings in total: an anti-tragus and a faux snug. He was really helpful in assessing what would work best for my anatomy as well as finding jewelry that worked for me. His station was clean and organized. Like Sarah, he made me feel safe and comfortable and checked on me several times. The piercings look great, and my faux snug looks like one singular barbell. He seems like a calm person which makes a painful experience as easy as possible.

When I’ve been in the shop, the other artists I have seen in passing always seem to be kind and in high spirits. Every time I visit, I can always sense the good vibes. If you’re looking for a tattoo or piercing, hit up Sarah and Brian. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Customer service is awful, first consult appointment I had with Irina I drove over an hour to see her, she cancelled on me 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment. When we rescheduled the appointment and had our consultation I felt very rushed, although I liked her work so I set up 2 tattoo appointments for June and July. About a week ago I had found out I was moving out of state and needed to cancel both appointments, I was told I would be getting both of my deposits back. I still have not seen a dollar and the man I spoke to was very, very rude about it. Absolutely awful business.

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.

Great place. Clean, staff are always nice and their artists are super talented

I went in for my first tattoo. I worked with Alicia on my design and came in for my first appointment. The store was clean and everyone was friendly and professional. While getting my tattoo my partner decided to finally get a septum piercing, and they were able to get a walk-in appointment alright away.
My tattoo is healing really well, and I am excited to go back and get the rest of it filled in. I definitely recommend going to Boston Tattoo company if you're interested in getting a tattoo or a piercing. It's a clean and safe environment and it was a great experience.
