Pearl Street Tattoo Club

Fantastic place. Clean, open, bright. They make their clients feel welcome and safe. The staff is very friendly and the artists are amazing

Pearl Street Tattoo Club is a fantastic place to get tattooed. The vibe of the whole shop is positive and inclusive. It felt safe as a queer nonbinary person. Walking in I was greeted by Capricia the wonderful counter person. She helped me complete the requirements before I headed back to get my tattoo with Jay. Jay was so kind and gave me breaks as I needed them. He designed my tattoo themself and it is a glorious piece. Absolutely love it and how it turned out. The color is so saturated and vibrant. I can’t wait to come back and get more ink from them and the other artists as Pearl. Update 03/04/2023 Went back for a Get What You Get with Jayde and it is adorable! Little candy corn boi. Love him so much. The bad pic is mine but the boi is adorable

I’ve never been in a shop that was so inviting, warm, comfortable & fun! My experience was nothing short of excellent. I got a fine line tattoo of hydrangeas on my arm, done by Jayde, & I’ve been on a high ever since - I can’t stop staring at it, I love it so much. It was my first time adding color to a tattoo & it was the longest session I’ve had. She went above & beyond expectations, giving me *exactly* what I imagined. I was super comfortable the entire time & I’m so thankful for that.

I got a tattoo from Jay at Pearl Street a few weeks ago; the first session's work has now essentially healed up and looks wonderful. Not only do I love the artwork, but I had a great experience with the sitting itself. There was ample privacy, music to listen to, a great vibe between employees that contributed to the overall positive atmosphere, and Jay was great to sit for. Getting a tattoo hurts, but Jay made the experience as easy and comfortable as possible (while still skillfully sticking needles in me). My tattoo is a large animal-subject thigh piece; I'd recommend both the shop and Jay!

Let me start by saying that the staff at this place is amazing. Everyone is extremely respectful, nice, and friendly. I also felt very safe and seen as a queer woman and the space itself was really clean. However... My tattoo was done by Sarah and I wanted some linework, I loved the design she drew and was so excited when she put the stencil on my arm. Well, it is definitely not what I expected when the tattoo healed. I followed the aftercare perfectly and it is my fourth tattoo, so I know that the reason the lines blew up the way they did - isn't me. There is definitely scar tissue (the tattoo is definitely raised) and the lines aren’t clean at all (you can see it on the picture). I am really sad about it because this is obviously on my body for the rest of my life and I had people comment on how not good it looks compared to my other tattoos.

Not my first tattoo with Arran, but my first tattoo with Arran at this shop, and it was a wonderful experience! The space is bright and clean, and the entire staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and kind. I had a full day session and I cannot recommend Arran enough - his work is vibrant and gorgeous, the application was smooth, and he took excellent care to check in (and end the session a little early when I needed to stop - completely without judgement or issue, making my time there feel genuinely safe and respectful). A fantastic environment with amazing people that I look forward to returning to!

I went here opening day and got a tattoo by Sarah (Jellyfish). It’s beautiful. Sarah was super personable and funny. Everyone is very professional but also down to earth and kind. The shop is extremely inclusive so everyone feels comfortable here. The physical shop is BEAUTIFUL too, they did an amazing job building and decorating. Can’t wait to go back! (Photo is a very fresh tattoo, at the time of writing this it’s 4 days and healing beautifully) . Update: I've since gone back and had a tattoo with Arran (Hades and Persephone) which turned out stunning. It was the longest session I've ever had to sit for but Arran made it comfortable with breaks and numbing spray and constantly checking in to make sure I was doing good. The vibe in that shop is so chill and fun, I really can't recommend it enough. The entire crew is welcoming, fun, and inclusive. This is like no shop I've ever been too. It's safe. Another update: I've now gotten tattoos by all artists in the shop (Jellyfish is Sarah, Hades/Persephone is Arran, Psyduck is Jay, and the Primrose flowers are Jayde). They've all done a beautiful job and you can see they all have their own artistic style. Every person who works there is lovely and kind, there's really no better shop.

The absolute best place to be tattooed! Kind friendly staff and amazing vibes!

PSTC is awesome! Got my first tattoo here back in November, and Jayde (and really everyone!) did a fantastic job at making me feel comfortable and safe here. Plus the tattoo turned out amazing, Jayde really works fast! Quick, barely painful, and really fun process. I definitely plan on coming back.

most amazing experience ever, everyone was so friendly and jayde is absolutely incredible!! so fun to talk to and created an amazing design for me. she is so creative and thoughtful and made sure i was comfortable every step of the way. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I had a great experience during my full day session with Arran! It was very cozy and well curated in the other shop, I felt very relaxed, and we had good conversation. All of the artists were very hospitable and my tattoos came out exactly as I hoped. Highly recommend

10/10 cutest, most inclusive, comfortable tattoo shop i’ve been to. Jay was the best and i’m beyond happy with my tattoo, and all the artists there are super talented and welcoming. Definitely plan to be a repeat client at Pearl Street Tattoo Club!

This was my first tattoo since the pandemic and also my first full-day tattoo, and I don’t know if I could have had a better experience. I am painfully shy in new environments, but everyone was so cool to talk to, very inclusive + informative, and insanely talented!! Also, their covid policies made me feel really safe. Arran worked some swampy resident evil imagery ideas into the coolest design, and it was so fun to watch him gorgeously execute the colors. I was 100% the biggest loser in the shop, 10 stars out of 5 😌

Fantastic. Really happy with all aspects! Worth the wait it takes to get booked.

So I have gotten two tattoos from Arran now. One get what you get and we just started a full leg sleeve. I have a good chunk of tattoos and have worked with many artists over the years. Arran is by far the best and my favorite. He is super nice, and beyond talented. His artistry is amazing and unique. His tattoo skill is also amazing. He works very quickly and cleanly which was super impressive. All the artists in the shop are crazy talented and kind. I am a bit of a weirdo and awkward but, I felt welcomed and at ease here. I would get a tattoo from any artist in the shop honestly. Arran is my fave though! Get a tattoo here you won’t regret it!!!!

my experience at pearl street tattoo was the most positive experience i have had getting tattooed! some shops can be intimidating, but walking in i immediately felt safe & comfortable— the receptionist was very sweet and friendly. jay was my artist, and they kindly encouraged me to speak up to make sure the size and position of the tattoo was exactly the way i wanted, and patiently made any adjustments i asked for. throughout my appointment he answered any questions i had, explained each step of the process, and made me feel that not only was the quality of the tattoo important but so was the connection with his client. if anyone asks me where to get a high quality tattoo this is the place! i’m already looking forward to booking my next appointment :)

Amazing experience!! Jay was so nice and skilled.

My artist was Jay, my experience was amazing! Very friendly, accepting, and comforting people

I've had 2 tattoos done here and looking forward to more. This is THE PLACE in the Boston area to go for tattoos. Great and inclusive vibe, it is such a (hidden?) gem. Every single staff member is great. A no judgement tattoo shop that we all look for. I wanted to stay and hang out after my pieces were done its such a fun place! I would recommend following on instagram for booking availabilities and additional info.

I have gotten three tattoos from Sarah at Pearl Street in the last two months and have had a wonderful experience! The studio is very clean and welcoming, and Sarah is great — one of my tattoos was picked from her flash, one is a slightly changed flash design, and one is an original design I brought to her. She did a wonderful job with all three, and was very careful with placement and making sure we were both happy with the way it looked on my anatomy. None of my tattoos took very long, but Sarah also told me everything she was doing as she went along so I knew where we were in the process and how long it would take, and also checked in to see if I was doing OK/needed a break. Lily at the front desk and everyone else working in the shop was also lovely and friendly. Highly recomend!
