Boston Tattoo Company - Somerville

Hail is an incredible artist. the tiger i came for last week came out sooo good, the line work and the detail is great.

Had my septum and both nostrils pierced between early May and mid June, Keith and Lou were SO helpful and explained every step of the process thoroughly. Cannot recommend highly enough

Had a wonderful experience with Hailey and love my tattoo! Planning the tattoo and scheduling were all super smooth and easy, Hailey is awesome and makes the experience super fun and comfortable. 100% would recommend and would go again!

I had a very disappointing experience with Zach Young. The tattoo I received looks nothing like the design we discussed and agreed upon beforehand. I came in with clear ideas and references, but very little of what I asked for was actually incorporated into the final piece. What’s most frustrating is the apparent lack of effort. When I compare my tattoo to other work he has done, the difference in quality and attention to detail is hard to ignore. My piece feels rushed and poorly executed, with minimal care taken to match the concept we had planned. Getting a tattoo is a permanent and personal decision, so it’s important to feel heard and confident in your artist. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience here. I would strongly recommend that others carefully review his work and ensure clear communication before committing. Also, he admitted to me that he has been drunk while doing other clients work in the past and had alcohol at his station in the shop. That begs the question if he was drunk while doing mine.

Keith did 2 cartilage piercings and wow what an amazing experience! Friendly, super knowledgeable, and communicative. I can’t highly recommended him enough. He really cares about his art and work. Hope to be back again!
