I was out in MA for business for a few weeks and happened to know of Joe Bastek through other friends and the community. I was super stoked to see that he was tattooing locally right where I was working. I sent Joe and message on IG and told him I was interested in getting my leg sleeve filled in with lots of color and small tattoos. He was super kind, responded and told me to swing by the shop for a consult and some photos of the leg that evening. I was stoked to have him take a second out of his day to meet with me. Consult went great and he was cool as heck which was awesome. My schedule is super hectic and I travel a lot and I'm not a resident so I was worried he would be upset - total opposite. Dude pulled out a planner and started throwing all sorts of times and days out there "Wednesday at 640pm? Saturday at 10am? What works?" I laughed because that's how my schedule literally works we ended up getting a few sessions in and knocked out the rest of my leg! Joe was super hospitable to the MA area, recommend food places and things to see before I split! Thanks Joe for being so cool and kind! I'll be back to get work done! read more

See all

Met with Joe B and had a great experience. He is very friendly, easy going and listened to all the details of my request. Tattoo came out beautifully and with such precision and attention to detail. Highly recommend. Will be back for more of his amazing art work read more

Tattoo I got here has had me self conscious for a couple years now. It was my first one so I could have used some real guidance. Have an appointment to get ink over it, unless I decide to just get it removed before then. read more

Broad Street Tattoo was absolutely fantastic. I got my first tattoo back in October and I am very pleased with the service from start to finish! Shannon at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, Henry was the artist and he is incredibly talented, and I'm in love with the piece! I recommend them to anyone looking for a tattoo, and it won't be long until I'm back myself. Thank you! read more

Terrific tattoo parlor. Very fun and friendly artists with incredible talent and attention to detail. Small and clean. Inexpensive. Great location; right down the street from Bridgewater State College. read more

This place is very good. They are down to earth and treat your with respect. They take the time to get your tattoo just right

I followed Mariah to here from her old tattoo shop and I am so happy she switched over to Broad Street Tattoo Parlor. The location of the shop in downtown Bridgewater is very convenient and parking is plentiful although the shop does not have a private lot. The shop is clean and beautifully decorated and their merch is really nice looking. Another great benefit to this shop is that artists have their own private booths to work in so there's some degree of privacy while you're getting work done. As nice as the shop is, the artists are what make Broad Street Tattoo Parlor phenomenal. Mariah does beautiful tattoos in a variety of styles. I've been getting color, neo-traditional from her but her portfolio includes all kinds of styles so I'd suggest hitting her up in particular if you're looking to get work done. Colby, one of the shop owners also does really great work, particularly on realistic looking tattoos. Check out the shop Instagram for some work from them and other artists. I will definitely be coming back soon to Broad Street Tattoo Parlor for my next tattoo. read more

I haven't been into a ton of parlors/studios but broad st. is by far the cleanest and most professional one i've encountered. I got my first and only tattoo here after Larry did my roommates back piece. I had gone with her and was totally impressed with the artwork hanging in his room in the studio as well as his warm and personable attitude. Walking into a tattoo parlor can be an intimidating experience - but the staff is amazing and talented!!! HIGHLY recommended. read more

They were closed today but Colby put me in touch with Henry this morning and he met me at the shop at 3 to give me the tattoo I wanted. Let me say first, this place is unlike any tattoo parlor I've ever been to. It is beautiful inside, nicely decorated and super clean. Henry was awesome and incredibly friendly (I've met a lot of artists who are not friendly). He drew up exactly what I wanted and did a perfect tattoo. So glad to have found my new place for tattoos! Thank you Henry. You're great! read more

Bayside Tattoo - My 10th tattoo! Thanks Henry! - Tattoo Near Me - Halifax, Massachusetts

Today I got my first Tattoo by Russ at Broadstreet Tattoo ! He was so fabulous. I am sure he knew that I was nervous. I brought my daughter (22 years old) who bought me the Tattoo for my Birthday. I thought WHAT THE HECK, I'm 50, I can do whatever I want now!! So I started small (1 1/2 inch to 2 inches square) on the back of my leg/ankle. Russ explained EVERYTHING to me as he went. When finished he was excellent at giving me the directions on how to take care of it while it heals. He's a really nice guy and fabulous artist too. I got EXACTLY what I wanted and it's perfect. It's clean there, their staff is really great. I had heard through the grapevine that they were good but I'd say EXCELLENT. Way to go Russ ! I may be back as everyone says that once you get one...you become addicted. read more

Bayside Tattoo - U2 Symbol from the 2001 All That You Can't Leave Behind Album. - Tattoo Near Me - Halifax, Massachusetts

I got my 1st (currently my only) tattoo at Broad Street Tattoo Parlor a few years ago. They were kind, professional & the place was extremely clean. As someone who has a latex allergy, I was happy to see that this is a question they addressed in the paperwork given upon arrival. I could not be happier with the way my tattoo came out and I will definitely return to Broad Street Tattoo Parlor for future tattoos. read more

Broad Street Tattoo is absolutely amazing. This was my first time getting a tattoo and the artist was extremely kind and answered all my questions. He prepared me for what I was going to feel and asked me multiple times if I was okay to keep going. Everyone I spoke to was extremely nice and I highly recommend this place. Plus the quality of tattoo is absolutely amazing. I got my grandfathers ha deriving and it is identical. I will definitely be coming back for future tattoos. read more

My husband and I have been coming to this shop for over 4 years now. Colby is amazing! Her work is meticulous and the shop is immaculate. I highly suggest checking them out! read more

Russ Townsend is the only one ill let tattoo any more. Russ always goes out of his way to make sure its exactly what you want and his creativity and ideas are phenomenal! Russ recently stayed over hours after a busy day to help me with covering up a tattoo and i couldnt be happier with the results. Highly recommend broad street tattoo and Russ Townsend! read more

This was my 3rd tattoo at Broad Street. I would not go anywhere else. The shop is highly professional. The artists work with you until you are happy with your design from start to finish. From scheduling to the finished tattoo. I am so impressed with Mariah"s work. It's only been a few days and already people are complementing the design and workmanship. read more

I recently had a tattoo done by Joe here. He was great in following the design that I wanted. I absolutely love my tattoo. The place was very nice inside and everyone was so friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

I went for my first tattoo in 2010 here, after hearing some great reviews about it. From the moment I walked in the door until I left, they were nothing but professional and kind. They have a way of making your ideal tattoo come to life. When I talked to them about my tat, he would kind give suggestions on how to enhance it. Michael is the one that did my tattoo and he was funny and down to earth. I highly suggest this shop!! read more

This seems to be an anomaly of an experience, but I wanted to do a simple walk-in piece and hadn't thought anything much of it. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, but I wasn't picky and I was absolutely willing to pay. I felt I was getting an unenthusiastic third-degree the entire time, people were talking to me about how they didn't want to just "make up" some lines when I said I liked geometric pieces and would love to pull up a reference and to build on another tattoo I already had and a lot of blank or annoyed looking staring that I wasn't sure how to parse, so I stood there uncomfortably instead. In the end I went with something that apparently the tattoo artist was more comfortable with tattooing, despite it still having absolutely no meaning to me ( It turned out great, I am not at all unhappy with the quality of the work. ) I didn't mind that they were unwilling, only that instead of saying an outright "that's not really my thing," or "I'm not interested," or even coming up with some bs excuse like they didn't have time, I was getting the third degree. They seemed to be experiencing some sort of moral dilemma- they didn't want to do my idea for a tattoo, but they didn't want to tell me 'no'. In the end I was being met with an abrupt, distasteful personality in the middle. Later, while I was getting tattooed, they kept talking about how they bought a burger a while before and that they couldn't wait to go home and eat with their wife since they didn't get to have it- I would have accepted a "we don't have the time to fit you in," but instead they said, "someone else was supposed to do this." People were in and out the entire time talking about burgers my artist couldn't have, there was a comment about the clerical girl that sort of rubbed me wrong. Prostitutes oddly enough came up, though that didn't really bother me. I could tell that maybe my artist wasn't having the best day- we didn't part on the worst of terms. We talked a bit about where we came from etc. and he finished up, I paid and tipped and he thanked me with what felt like genuine enthusiasm for the first time in the night. Overall, I just went to have some good experience for the day. I've been mentally exhausted, and tattoos and piercings make me feel happy and good about myself, and I just had an entirely alienating, uncomfortable experience that had my gut twisting a bit at the end of it. I honestly can't place the experience but I don't think I'll be going back. read more

As a college student at Bridgewater University, this place was very convenient. It was a short walk down the road and the prices there are pretty good. I got a medium-sized tattoo and a smaller one for $100 total. The staff is very nice and the artists are talented for the most part. The only negative part I'd have to say is that their filling-in and their line work can sometimes be sloppy. I don't know if it's because I'm young that my tattoos turned out this way, but if you're looking for something perfectionistic (which luckily I wasn't), this may not be the place for you. (However I got one done very well from Mariah). read more

Had 2 pieces done here. 1 on my back, 1 cover on my ankle. Loved it! Clean, professional, great personnel! I found the pricing very reasonable. The artist took time in both the design phase and during the actual work. I used Chris C. for both pieces, but I would be willing to work with any of the 4-5 artists working here. Great experience! read more

Broad Street Tattoo came highly recommended to me by a friend. I got my first tattoo here in December of 2010 and was nervous walking in, but I was immediately made to feel comfortable by the staff. They understood how nervous I was and also took an idea I had drawn up and made it ten times better. I was getting a script done on my foot and couldn't choose between two fonts. The artist kind of blended the two into one and it came out perfect! When it came time to actually do my tattoo, he talked me through each step of the process before & during, and the conversation made for a good distraction. I will be returning for any future tattoos! read more

Reid took my initial idea and made it something spectacular. Not Only was this my first tattoo, but this tattoo was a tribute to my sisters, of which my youngest sister passed away tragically last month. He took great care in the design and my vision. He did an amazing job. Thank you so much :) read more

This was my second time seeing MsColby for a cover up on my ankle. She's such a talented artist with great attention to detail. She was very accommodating getting me in despite her busy schedule. I'm really particular, and she nailed the look I was going for with the floral piece she is in the process of working on. Although it was a long wait to have her do the work, it was well worth it! The shop is also really clean with a comfortable atmosphere. Great place! read more

Got my first tattoo there by Joe. He is so great and I get so many compliments on my tat! This place is top notch and is very clean! Highly recommend! read more

I just got a Greek text tattoo done by Reid and he was not only professional, but also incredibly friendly and talented. He did an amazing job and my tattoo (on my wrist) turned out exactly as I wanted it to and had been healing effortlessly. I can't say enough good things- I definitely recommend it! read more

I went to Broad Street Tattoo for my first tattoo this past weekend. As it was a new experience for me I was slightly nervous and didn't know the protocol. However, everyone was very nice and easy to work with. The shop was clean and welcoming. Mariah was my tattoo artist and did an incredible job! I showed her different elements of what I wanted and she put it together exactly as I had hoped. I am probably just a 1 tattoo kind of guy, but if I were to ever get another one, I would go back there in a heartbeat! read more

My previous post was written out of spite and disappointment. I would like to say colby personally reached out to me to address the issue, I truly appreciated the professionalism on her part. read more

I got my first tattoo here. I was nervous and worried it wouldn't turn out how I pictured (a dandelion on my hip) - but the tattoo is beautiful. The pricing was incredibly reasonable, my artist did an amazing job and made me feel very comfortable, and everyone there was laid back and very friendly. The parlor itself was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo. read more

Artist dont return calls, never at the store when you stop by, go back and forth via email, "book" a date after 1 month, try to make you book with another artist, and after you settle for a date, decides to travel and needs to reschedule. Never had a so bad costumer service with a tattoo shop. If the shop and the artist doesnt want new clients, they should advertise, so I wouldnt spend my time going back and forth like an idiot. Im paying, Im the client and all I want is to be treated as one. NEVER going back to the shop, NEVER referring nobody to the shop. I'll drive the extra mile for someone that really wants to work with me and my friends. read more

my daughter and I ,went to the shop for the first time today . Both of us got great art done by HENRY , WOW amazing work , great people . felt comfortable as soon as we walked in . Ive been to other shops and BROAD STREET is the BEST ! THANK YOU ! I found my new and forever shop read more

My review is right on . Very unprofessional. I drove miles to this shop only to be told by a counter person that only one person could do this tattoo for me at this shop . The person's name was Miss Colby. He gave me her name , number and e-mail address and told me to contact her directly. I called the Tel. # and e-mailed her numerous times with no reply back at all. It took 3 day's for her to get back to me only to tell me that she couldn't do it. This is the owner that does not even return people's calls. This is no way to treat any customer, never mind a new customer. Like I said in my 1 st. review, Do your self a favor and find another parlor some where else. These people do not care about their customers. I am not saying they do a bad job, I am saying they are not customer friendly. You can use either of these other 2 parlors on the south shore that are just as good with out the attitude.. [ 1 ] Sacred Addition in Bridgewater Ma. or Sinners and Saints in Wareham Ma. read more
