Tattoo Artists in Boston, MA

Baltimore - Dave Wah or Eric Gregory.

Tyler Malek he's worth the drive up to s.nh

Lucky or Ram at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in JP or Dia at Boston Tattoo Company!

what style are you looking for? mine was done by dan bythewood at regeneration, his style is more traditional/illustrative. http://instagram.com/danbythewood

You are better off traveling 1-2 hours away IMO. James McGrory www.xjamesx.com in Portland or Ron Henry Wells in Providence http://laughinghyena.wordpress.com/

This guys work is in.sane. http://nikkohurtado.com/

Nate Stevens at Stingray. http://www.stingraybodyart.com/nate-stevens.php

Gemma at Secret Society tattoo in Worcester has inked many friends. Mike Lussier at Art Freek in Providence did my feet and many friends ink. Jen at Anchor and Steam in Newport has tattooed many friends. Cory Kruger I believe is in Clinton MA and he used to do large periods of time in Japan working.

7 years removed, so I don't remember the names ... but I was really impressed by a guy at Darkwave Dermagraphics. I was going to get mine done there if I didn't have to move back home in such a rush.

Well not in boston, and not even close but the best shop in CT is Hope Gallery in New Haven.

Granite State Tattoo. Here's a piece by another artist at the shop.

Fat Ram's in JP

Redemption

Sadly, they're all pricey. Regeneration in Allston is where I got a simple, text tattoo...which is p. difficult to fuck up.

[Pino Bros.](http://www.pinobrosink.com/artists/) in Cambridge. Absolutely killer tattoos.

Stingray in Allston. Myself and several friends have gotten tattoos there. Good price, really nice and helpful people.

Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in Jamaica Plain. They do custom work and usually require appointment for consultation, although I believe there is a walk in day.

Got min at [Pino Bros Ink](http://www.yelp.com/biz/pino-bros-ink-cambridge) up in Inman, would highly recommend them. Clean, helpful, and extremely professional.

Local guys (and gal) who I've had good experiences with: Ed at [Skin Art Studio](http://skinartstudio-ink.com/about.php) Amanda at [Empire](http://www.empiretattooinc.com/somerville-ma-empire-tattoo.html) Jorge at [Kaleidoscope](http://kaleidoscopetattoo.net/home.html) Chris at [Stingray](http://stingraybodyart.com/chris-debarge.php) Edit: Incorrect information, removed one

Good Faith Tattooing on Commonwealth Ave. Ian Dana is amazing. All of the artists there are top notch. I will go to nobody else. Highly suggest you at least walk in for a consultation.

Calavera`s in Chelsea

I got one at the Painted Bird in Medford and have nothing but good things to say about Ronnie. He mostly does text which is what I have but top notch work. Kinda pricey but place is clean, friendly, and professional.

I think you might like Oleg, at Off the Map, Easthampton: https://www.instagram.com/turyanskiy I haven’t come across many hyper-realism tattoo artists in Mass yet. Timmy B at Nite Owl, Northampton does like a new school realism style which I love https://www.instagram.com/timmy_b_413. The Murray twins at Black Veil do interesting stuff (but not hyper real) https://www.instagram.com/blackveiltattoo Jesse Rix in Keene NH does realism-trippy-insane work: https://www.instagram.com/jesse_rix If I think any others, I’ll send you the link here.

I just had something done at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in JP. I did a lot of research of different shops and different artists - and this parlor had the best reviews in terms of quality, linework, and cleanliness. All their artists were super experienced. [Chad](http://chadcheskotattoo.com/) does a lot of traditional-Japanese work. He doesn't really check his e-mail, but if you swing by the shop - you can catch him. Dave did mine, I had a great experience. Very friendly, accommodating, and the design looks better than I anticipated. My only issue with the shop is the fellah at the counter when I setup my appointment wasn't unhelpful. And also, the place is expensive - $80 minimum. But you get what you pay for.

All the guys at [Good Faith Tattoos](http://goodfaithtattoos.com/home.html) are super talented and great guys. Been going there for a few years and have never been unhappy with a single experience.

[Reuben at Chameleon](http://www.chameleonbodyarts.com/#!rueben/cr2 k) in Harvard Sq. He did my work when I lived in Boston.

Light wave tattoo isn't in Boston, but it's a quick hop to Saugus. I've had all my traditional work done there, good place.

Check out [Hannah at Brilliance Tattoo](http://www.brilliancetattoo.com/hannah/), which is on Comm Ave. If you are willing to travel, look into [East River Tattoo](http://eastrivertattoo.com/) in NYC. All of their artists specialize in this style or similar and their work is incredible.

Don Tony Francis

Ya me check out my work on my page and I'll come to u or u come here I live in Everett 7813675386

Tierneys Tattoos in Lowell - he does a tap out deal for 350$

Regenration in Allston (Brian Hemming) gave me this [this!](https://imgur.com/gallery/NNSyH/new)

I know someone who was pretty pleased with the work she got at Pino Bros on Cambridge St near Inman Square. edit: I feel like "pretty pleased" might be underselling it a bit; so take that as in, she's very happy with it. I don't have any tattoos, myself, so I can't speak to anywhere otherwise.

Pumpkin Tattoo on Center St in JP has some great artists worth checking out

[Boston Tattoo Company](http://www.thebostontattoocompany.com/) in Davis Sq.

BRILLIANCE Tattoo has Elize Nazelie, who, IMHO, if you like her style, is one of the best out there. I have 4 pieces from her, one in progress and a bunch from their apprentice Hannah. Great vibe, great work, awesome artists.

As an add on to this, does anyone know of a good place in the Boston area where they do finger tatoos?

Chelsea Laurie Perry Sweeney is right go to Tiki Tattoo in Mansfield...I have a lot of friends who have gone there and will recomend it to anyone

You should just get a coverup. Cheaper and faster

Can we see it?

tattoo removal is still fairly specialized and i'm not sure if these places are all over the place yet. I mean in the Boston area there should be something, right? personally, i don't know anything since i've never looked into getting one of my many tattoos removed. but i figure maybe this would be a good a place as any to get some better info: http://www.reddit.com/r/tattoos/search?q=removal&restrict_sr=on good luck!
