Bear does the piercings here and he is GREAT! First off he is the cheapest option around for the…read moreskill (easily 30+$ cheaper because he includes the jewelry). He's also the only option you'll find in the area that INCLUDES the price of jewelry in the cost of piercing. He uses stainless steel rings and studs for all his piercings unless you have an allergy and was also willing to let me bring in my own jewelry (no other shops will let you do this because they want to up charge you like crazy for the jewelry). Aside from those things he is clearly very experienced at what he does, and was incredibly kind and patient with me as I tried to decide if I wanted to follow through with the piercing. Would definitely recommend him and go back. On a side not he takes walk-ins which is a godsend when it comes to trying to schedule appointments during Covid. I was going to have to wait a week for all other places minimum.

I found multiple addresses for them so I called the phone number I found but what I got was the standard leave a message after the beep so I had no idea if I was actually calling them or not. I gave them three stars because I did hear good things about them but since I could not confirm they are still in business and with no website to confirm that they are still in business I have to assume sadly they are no longer in business.

Brian Gilley is a stand up guy as well and makes sure I'm taken care of when I walk in the shop if he's the first person I see. I love these guys and I love getting tattooed at Pisst Fish. The shop is clean, comfortable and relaxing which is the perfect environment for getting tattooed. Chad always exceeds expectations and is truly talented. I have large areas of coverage and I am constantly complimented on how well my tattoos look which I couldn't be happier about. I am still working on large pieces with Chad and the journey has been incredible. If you are looking to be tattooed in Western Mass, Pisst Fish should be your first choice! I'm very fortunate to have such an awesome shop with great people in my hometown.

I got my first tattoo from Mickey here back in May 2017 and I couldn't be happier. When I described…read moreover the phone what I was wanting, I could sense his excitement for me. At my appointment, I brought in a picture of what I was looking for; he then took my picture and created a drawing for what my tattoo could look like. The pain was to be expected but the end result made it totally worth it. Now I completely understand when people say "once you get a tattoo, you'll keep wanting more". Can't wait to add into my arm band and make it more beautiful!

A Taurus tattoo showed the "artist heather " a picture of what I wanted and she gave me a price of 275 . 75 for the deposit and 200 for the rest . we texted back and forth deciding on the design until my appointment which I couldn't show up due to unforeseen circumstances so we rescheduled . it took 4 hours for the outline and she said I should come back to do the rest in 2 weeks I think she was getting tired and I was too so I agreed . Okay cool not a problem . A few days later I asked if I could come back earlier than 2 weeks and she said I would have to pay another deposit and 250 to finish what should've already been done the first time . Talk about a fucking scam . Now I have a fucked up incomplete tattoo that I have to find somebody to fix . I'm beyond pissed this was supposed to be a birthday present to myself and I'm embarrassed to even show it . I advice you find a different artist in the shop to do your tattoos .

Went for a walk in piercing…read more SO many red flags. I should have walked out. - In the lobby, several guys sitting on old couches while browsing their phones- not waiting for services. It's a business, not a clubhouse. All were buddies of some employee. - Shelves and shelves of Funko Pops. Piercing person told me the owner had them as an "investment". Nah. I should have walked out then- that's on me. - After my piercing, no aftercare advice or instruction was offered. I asked for some info and was offered a printer-paper trifold pamphlet. Had to ask google for more. Piercing care is essential and should be gone over before and after the service. Would NOT recommend this place. Feels like a crew of barely licensed people in a cheap rent shop. I have gone several other places that were way cleaner and tons more professional.

From my understanding outside of flash days -- or if an artist schedules a specific walk-in day -- the shop is appointment only. At the time of this review, the shop is all women artists. I mostly mention this because the 1 star reviews the shop has on yelp indicate the artist was a guy those reviews are a bit out of date. The shop is kinda small for three tattoo artist and a piercer, but it's a clean space and has a cozy/chill vibe.

Lovely! I have been going to this shop for years and it is always such a warm and welcoming…read moreenvironment. Each time I come in I am greeted by whoever is working the counter that day, and am invited to look at the artists' (Ben) sketch to see if anything needs to be changed before placement. The shop itself is an open concept, which allows for wonderful communication and between all artists and clients, which I find helps pass the time and makes me feel very comfortable! The vibes are always positive in this shop and I never feel awkward or uncomfortable. Also- every artist has a different tattooing style, so the shop really does well with covering all different types of ink. It should be noted, though, that as artists they have the right to not tattoo you. This may happen if 1) the concept you bring them doesn't match their style, 2) if they are very busy (usually oxbow will suggest a different shop/artist which is very considerate of them, and 3) if you're a rude customer. This stands for every tattoo shop, not just oxbow, as well as literally any business under the sun. Perhaps a previous reviewer should realize that being rude to an artist/shop that you want to do work on you is not the best method to get what you want full tea and shade. To conclude- Oxbow has some of the friendliest and most creative staff I have ever met for a tattoo shop, and you should definitely book an appointment here! Parking can be rough but you'll find a spot.
