The Boston Tattoo Company

All the staff are friendly and helpful. Got a tattoo from Arran, he was reasonably priced and took his time to make sure that the tattoo looked the way I wanted. Highly recommend him and Boston Tattoo for your next tattoo appointment.

I've gotten both of my tattoos done here, one with Matt (who had left by the time I came back for my second) and Mitch. Both times I got walk-in appointments, and both times I came with a black and white design. I even had the second one done the same day I came in.

I went with Mitch for my second after browsing through the artist portfolios and liking Mitch's portraits and greyscale shading. I had a specific design in mind and references with me, and Mitch was very patient with me tweaking little things here to match what I was looking for. One of the references had to be scanned and resized, and it still came out in high resolution. He never got impatient with me and my suggestions, which I think helped the final product come out so well.

Mitch was also great with the tattooing itself. My design had a lot of shading and fine, irregular detail, and he nailed it. I never expected it to come out as well as it did. We also had a good time talking about all kinds of stuff while he was laying down the ink.

I'm no tattoo expert but I'm a fan of this shop and will be back if/when it's time for the next one.

Dani is an amazing artist! Give her creative freedom and she will not disappoint you! (I also hear she's rearing to do more color work 😉) Great atmosphere, fair prices, and amazing people!

My tattoo was done by passing artist and was left a bit crooked but it actually ended up giving it a nicer look! The reason why I loved them so much was because the manager/owner ended up being the one to touch it up for me and treated me great!! I'm definitely going back for my next tattoo!!!

Pretty disappointed. Came from out-of town this weekend and did some research on the place ahead of time. Sent multiple emails and had to call to ask if they even received it. Since my boyfriend and I were coming from out of state we gave more than a month's notice about getting in. We arrived extremely early today and upon arrival we were notified one of the artists we scheduled with was not tattooing due to an injury and instead we were seeing their relative, I understand things like this can happen however a phone call would have been appropriate as we had no clue as to what his work looked like. My artist was not even there and I too was thrown to this artist. Since we sent images ahead of time we were hoping to see something prepared. Again this was not the case and had to wait for something to be drawn up. The artist drew both tattoos up and were ok but could have been a lot better. Once my tattoo was finished I regret having it done, and my boyfriend was ok with his. His tattoo took only 40 minutes (I timed it) and we were still charged the entire hour rate and I was charged additionally for what I had done on top of the deposit I had already put down.Unfortunately we left with a bad taste in our mouths and do not plan to return again. It's possible I may get mine removed or covered up and it hasn't even been 24 hours.

A bunch of really friendly people. Very relaxed atmosphere but very professional when it was time to get down to business. Price was very reasonable and Nick Bratkon did an amazing job on a megaman piece. Will definitely be back to get more work done with Nick in the near future. Great experience overall.

I was tattooed yesterday at the BTC and the experience was amazing. After finding Elize's portfolio online (the shop itself doesn't have a site up yet--still very new) I drove up three hours to be tattooed.

Elize is an amazing artist--not only was the piece she put on me beautiful, but was very sympathetic to any pain I had (it was my first tattoo), made sure I was happy with every step of the process, and loaded me up with lollypops to keep my blood sugar high and me very happy. The space was clean and spacious, everyone there was polite and professional, and there's a Starbucks next door. I'll be going back for sure!

Rude, rude and did I mention RUDE!? I came in to look at their nose rings and possibly purchase one as mine fell down the drain. Left work on my break because they are right down the street. I walk in and ask to see their nose rings in which I was informed their piercer is not in the building. I said ok, well my nose is already pierced I'm looking for a hoop. Again, told he is not around. I repeatedly asked to just Take a look at their selection and they continuously denied my request to even look, stating their piercer isn't there. I asked if it was store policy to refuse customers the ability to look at their body jewelry when the piercer isn't around and was told no! I have picked out MANY NOSE RINGS WITHOUT A PIERCER available...

I have one question, why was a customer shunned away when asking to see your nose ring selection!? Unbelievable!

In addition to the fantastic quality of work that Joe Gettler provided, and the staff's patience and ability to provide information for someone getting their first tattoo, the decor and vibe of the place was really quite cool. This was easily a 5 star experience!

Amazing experience everytime. Got piercing by Joe, not only was he very kind & patient towards all the questions I had, but you can feel he truly loves what he does. 10/10
