Walked in with 5 people for some small tattoos and was able to get right in! Alina was extremely welcoming, VERY cleanly, and had amazing line work. I am a bit picky when it comes to line work and Alina is a total prodigy. Very good natural talent with art and attention to detail. She sanitized every placement of a tattoo, after each persons tattoo, changed out the equipment/cleaned as needed, wore gloves, and light handed. VERY professional. The atmosphere of the place is very cool and relaxed. I'd fly back to Boston just for this place. read more

Angie and Vu did a piece each on my husband and I, and both came out amazing and exactly what we pictured. They were friendly, professional and the shop was super clean.

Literally obsessed with this place. The vibe is amazing, great customer service. My girl Angie really did her thing on my tattoo. I would 100% recommend Angie and this shop overall. P.s to the owner, you should get Angie a little table for her ink. She works so hard she deserves it! read more

I LOVE HOLISTIC INK !! I've been going here for majority of my tatts + piercings since 2019, super duper friendly & talented staff. It's my 4th Friday the 13th walk-in & I got 2 tattoos done by Kaya, very sweet & even gave me a cute little goodie bag after the service was complete. On top of the tatts i got a toothgem done by Hang, very happy with the beautiful work. ALSO shoutout to Billy, Angie, Vu & Ryan who have done my previous body art, much love ! read more

I will literally never get pierced anywhere else again. I had been putting off getting a new piercing for years because my last experience was pretty bad, but I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. Angelina was absolutely amazing! So helpful and kind and comforting. She talked me through every single step and put four new holes in my ear and I barely even noticed it. The shop was so clean and well decorated and the price was on the affordable side. I went from taking years to deciding if I want another piercing to dying to go back to put more holes in my ears!! read more

tiana was amazing ! beautiful line work and amazing people skills. can't wait to come back!

Walked in, they were very patient with me. Came in for a piercing, the piercer was so gentle. The whole process was so easy. Definitely coming back for future piercings and hopefully a tattoo! read more

It's hard to write this review cause I don't want to name the artist I saw. I plan on getting way more work done and he's busy as is. I know once I show his work it's possible he will get booked more often. My artist is Billy, I stalked his Instagram (https://instagram.com/billy.inked?utm_medium=copy_link) for a year and finally decided to come see him. It is so worth it. He is super professional, light handed and when I tell you incredible. This dude is so talented. His lines are super clean, the detail is insane. You pay per hour but he got so much done in just an hour & a half my leg was pretty much done in under 2 hours. I had a 4 hr app and he pretty completed more than I expected. He is so detailed, I cannot wait to get more done. Weird thing is, I sat there in awe that I got to be tattooed by him and him so humble looked at me like it was no big deal. I've searched for 10 years for an artist that can accommodate my expectations and Billy is it,, He's official. The rest of the staff is chill, it's a very clean shop. Shout out to the fearless Piercer there. She is so bad ass. I definitely recommend checking this place out for your tattoo and piercing needs. They seem to have a house full of good artist. Cash only or Venmo read more

I recently got a big statement piece for my spine done by Billy Le at Hollistic Ink (picture attached). I was recommended by a friend because I was looking for a Tattoo Artist who specializes in fine lines and small details. I followed Billy's Instagram (@billy.holistic) and I loved all his work, so as soon as he announced that his booking was opened, I texted Holistic Ink to schedule an appointment right away in November for something in April. They booked a 30min free consultation with Billy on April 9th and to my luck, someone canceled last minute and I was able to book the tattoo Appointment on April 23rd! (His next available spot would have been July 3rd, Billy IS POPULAR. SCHEDULE as soon as you can!!) Consultation went very smoothly and Billy was very open to my ideas and very informative with the protocols and guidelines of what to do/not to do before a tattoo. He gave me a rate of $200/hr and that the tattoo design I wanted with the size (about 9inches down the middle of my spine) was going to take about 3-4 hrs. There is a $100 deposit that is not refundable in order to schedule the tattoo appointment. You are also able to text Hollistic Ink if you have any questions/concerns and they will answer any questions for you. The day of the tattoo appointment, they ask that you come 15 mins early so you can fill out the paperwork with your ID and go through the design with your tattoo artist. Billy was very adaptive and responsive to any small changes you would like on the design. Let me scream it out to the world; BILLY IS AMAZING. He duplicated the design I wanted to the T so perfectly. From start to finish, with a 5minute break for me to drink some water, it took about 2 hours which was way shorter than we both expected. He is very light-handed and made the experience/pain very bareable. For this being my first tattoo and on my spine which I heard wasn't the typical first tattoo spot for people because of the pain, it was not bad at all. I'll give it a 4/10 pain, wincing pain at most when he was working near my should blades, shading and right on the spine. He is super fast and accurate at his work. He made sure I was okay during the session and asked if I needed any breaks. I am definitely looking to get another piece done by him in the future. Because it was only 2hrs, the price was definitely worth it and I tipped him well because he deserved it. Overall an amazing, smooth and worth experience! I highly recommend Billy to do your next tattoo because he will ROCK IT. read more

Holistic Ink - Tattoo design down my spine - Tattoo Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My birthday is tomorrow, so instead of dwelling on the mental pain of turning another year older- why not counteract with a tiny bit of physical pain that looks super cute, right? RIGHT! I treated myself to a nose piercing, stopped in around 2pm, and the whole process was seamless. Angie definitely was busy with walk-ins, but between her and the lovely girl at reception- they knocked it out of the park. Quick, efficient, clean, legit painless, excellent prices. Angie explains everything perfectly, and her work is flawless. I will be for sure coming back to her for more. Absolute pleasure, and I look forward to continuing working with them in the future! Thanks guys!! read more

Very Pleasant Experience... The young lady at the Desk is very good at what she does: very welcome & warm, knows how to make the customer feel valued right off the bat. For my 1st time there, that was pretty impressive. Angiee, my Piercer was very nice, professional & made me feel comfortable. This was a nose piercing and Angiee & the lovely young lady who was training, made me feel at ease with their patience & kindness. That makes a huge difference for a customer. Thank you Ladies & Holistic Ink! You'll see me again! ;-) read more

Unfortunately I had a bad experience here. I recently went to get large tattoos with my sisters and they were nice and friendly, there was 3 of us and had no issues. We spent significant amount on our tattoos and was not asked for a deposit and we booked the appointments the day before, we also each tipped very well. Now a couple weeks later I wanted to book another appointment before I flew back home - out of state - which should be a compliment, and did not receive the same service. The lady was rude and difficult and said I would need to put down a 50% deposit. It's for a 2 inch tattoo. I was expecting the same service whether its a large artistic piece or small 1 inch tattoo. She didn't even ask to see the tattoo I wanted and wasn't even accommodating especially after I explained my prior experience and how pleased I was and how I was from out of state. Unfortunately now none of my family or friends will patron this business at any location. What sets apart a business is how you are treated and the customer service. No matter size or price of a tattoo you should always treat your customer the same. I took it as its not meant for me to get my meaningful tattoo here. Hopefully they can take this as a learning lesson but she didn't even apologize and its quite hurtful especially since the tat I wanted to get was to honor my dad that just passed away. If able - please consider before spending your money here as they are a hit and miss when it comes to consistency. To be clear - I would've paid the deposit, it's not about the money, her approach was rude and condescending and even said I lied about not being asked to put a deposit down previously. I understand each business has its requirements but I do expect to be treated the same as previous and don't need a hard time to book a tattoo, it should be an exciting experience and I rather give my business to an establishment that is positive and inviting - the energy was way off. Terrible service and I do not recommend especially if the art pieces you want are special and meaningful - so stay away as it all starts with the front of the house. read more

I got my first tattoo here at Holistic Ink! It came out just as I imagined, maybe even better! As an artist myself, I'm very picky and indecisive when it comes to coming up with a design so I left it all up to my tattoo artist, Billy Le, and he was fantastic! I just gave him a general idea and a few photo references and he was able to find inspiration and free-styled a beautiful, one of a kind piece of art of a Koi fish entangled in cherry blossoms like I wanted. I absolutely LOVE the clean crisp lines and the vibrant colors. They are also super attentive with aftercare too. I texted them when I had questions with the healing process and they always responded quickly and reassured any concerns I had. I'd definitely be back here for my next tattoo! read more

Don't go here!! $200 for the artist to not have gone deep enough, needs a touch up after a few months of healing. Line work is shaky which is very disappointing for the price. Will need to go through another session at a different shop due to poor results from here :-( Nice staff, but they vape a ton and the store constantly smells like stale bubblegum. Got a cartilage piercing done here as well that did not fit my ear shape and could not heal correctly, had to remove it. Disappointing considering the piercer was ragging on every other body jeweler in Boston. read more

Love this place! Walked in around 615p for a nose piercing and was seen right away! Cute jewelry to choose from, the woman who pierced me was calm, communicative, and skilled! (so sorry I forgot to get her name). Everything was clean. Staff was friendly. Cash only for piercings but they have an ATM! Will be returning for my next piercing! read more

I came to Holistic Ink because I made a mistake of letting other artist put ink on me without making sure they understood what I wanted. Not only did My artist Vinny incorporate the new ink to blend in with my old one, he listened to understand what I wanted. He made my other tattoos work around his tattoos. I don't know how he made that possible, but he shocked me! His art is unique and it's very detailed! (The owl is one of my first tattoos I got from vinny, and now I'm finishing up another huge piece. ) Vinny is fast, he listens, and he's creative. I'm excited to finish up my next piece with him! Tip: don't hesitate to tell Vinny exactly what you are looking for. He's really patient! read more

Holistic Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Got both my full sleeve and half sleeve done by Vinny. This dude is legit. His Japanese-style tattoos are the best I've seen in the Boston area. Vinny's speed is unmatched and still keeps every little detail while he tattoos, a true professional at work. My first tattoo was my full koi sleeve and was totally done free-hand and came out amazing. My second tattoo was my half sleeve and Vinny was creative enough to make the idea I had in mind work so perfectly. These guys at Holistic Ink are serious about their craft and want to provide the best service possible but are also very kind and warm spirited, they make you feel welcomed the second you walk in. I'll be coming back to Holistic Ink for all my future tattoos and will continue recommending this shop to all my friend and whoever wants to get tattoos done by some great people. read more

Holistic Ink - Front Helix piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

So frustrating! I emailed this shop a picture of the tattoo I was interested to add to my half sleeve, as well as pictures of the existing tattoo and EXACTLY what I was looking for. I also asked to have some coloring added to my existing work. I was told to come in at any time for a consult, and we would discuss it, no appointment needed. When I drove the 45 minutes for the consult, I was told that they couldnt do the consult (at first), and that they wouldnt be able to add color. They asked the for the ART that was already sent to them. When I pushed back, citing what they said in the email, they then went back to check with all the tattoo artists to see if anyone could consult. I was then told if I waited a hslf hour I could discuss it with someone but I wouldnt be able to get in until JANUARY OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR (it's April). This is all stuff that could have happened over email, instead of wasting my time. Very unprofessional. I'll be going somewhere else. read more

I recently got my first tattoo at Holistic Ink and had a great overall experience. From beginning to end Vinny and all the other staff at holistic ink were very responsive, pleasant and easy to work with. I went to Vinny with a sketch and an idea I had for a half sleeve and told him to come up with something for me. A few days later he came up with a pretty cool concept and sketch and we went from there. We tweaked the sketch a few times as I wanted it to be perfect and Vinny was great with making changes and being patient with me until I had exactly what I wanted. The tattoo was was finished in two sittings. Vinny was great and I couldn't be happier with the final result. Please visit Holistic Ink for your next tattoo! Highly Recommended -Joe read more

I just walked into this shop in hopes of working with someone to finish my sleeve. I was promptly told we don't do that here. Way to alienate potential customers in spite of making sure your shops portfolio is padded. "We don't work on other artist tattoos". All I wanted was additional work added. I was told they could cover up the work already done. Yeah sure. Steer clear of this place as the person they have working the front counter will steer you away if you don't fit their customer profile. read more

I got my first tattoo with Billy Le and I love it. I've been following Billy's work on Instagram for a while and when his books opened up, I immediately schedule a consultation. I wanted a piece with zodiac animals drawn in Chinese calligraphy style. He was friendly and listened to my ideas and gave his recommendations but did not make me feel intimidated when letting me know that some of my ideas wouldn't work. When I arrived for the appointment, he was patient with the changes I wanted to make and questions I had. Since it was my first, I was pretty nervous but I trusted his artistry and man he freaking blew it out of the park. It turned out better than I could have imagined. He was very detailed and efficient - took less time than I thought. I would definitely recommend him! Also wanted to shout out the staff at the shop, specifically the first desk receptionist. She was so friendly and kind. Definitely helped me feel reassured about the whole experience. read more

My artist was Bill and he was amazing! Very professional and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He did exactly what I wanted by adding more onto my first piece (which was the bigger peony piece NOT done by Bill) as you can see from the two smaller peonies and snake, his fine lines are incredible and I highly recommend to go to him. read more

This small and cute tattoo shop in my home town was where I got my first tattoo done this year and they did not disappoint! The receptionist Nancy answers all questions helpfully and quickly. The place is super quirky and clean. My tattoo artist was Bill and he made me feel very welcomed and comfortable! He has a super gentle hand so even though this was my first, the experience and pain was quick and tolerable. Would 10/10 recommend him for his work if you're looking into a piece with fine lines and/or flowers. My next tattoos will definitely be with them read more

I have worked with Jamie every time I've been to Holistic. The first couple of times were for flash events on Valentine's Day & Friday the 13th, but Jamie recently took on a last minute request for me that I'd been wanting for quite a long time but never gone for. I've never worked with anyone who can do such a beautiful job on fine lines, and Jamie's attention to detail and respect for a piece that means a lot to me was priceless. I've found his intense line work to be relatively painless and the whole experience always feels comfortable and welcoming when I work with him. Even for flash events, Jamie is patient with the higher volume and adds more detail than most artists do for beautiful, inexpensive pieces. Big big thank you to Jamie and big recommend as well! read more

For starters I never knew about this tattoo shop after driving by it everyday, crazy! Anyways, I am glad I finally did stop and take a look. I first went in the summer of 2019 looking to get a piercing. I ended up getting my septum pierced by an apprentice (forgot her name but super professional and I didn't even feel it) I then went around the same time, this time for a tattoo. I met Jamie and let's say I was not disappointed. From the front staff being super chill and up until the day of the Tattoo, Jamie was super professional and I freaking LOVE my tat. Now that they have reopened I will be going again to get yet another tattoo done. read more

Vinny is an awesome artist. He not only listened to what I wanted, but also added his creativity to create a great piece. His craftsmanship is excellent, as he has deep knowledge regarding the techniques and the dyanmics between the skin and ink in the tattooing process.

Absolutely great work by Jaime. My 5th tat and this was my first time here. Guy took his time and actually cared about what his art looked like. I've had previous artists not care and just go about things. Came out better than I even wanted. If I get more ink it'll 100% be from here ----------- Okay update - went back here bc the place was dope the first time. My 6th tat and got it from Jose. Dude also took his time and loved doing what he was doing. Offered what he thought may look better and it was something from my simple mind could never think of. True artistry. Like this place is not just oh okay you want this fine cut and dry. The artists love to care about their work. Just great people too. Won't ever go to another place if I want #7 read more

My 16 year old daughter was looking for a studio that does under the mask piercing so she could get her nose pierced. She found Holistic Ink online and then dragged me as her parent to Dorchester. The team there could not be any nicer. It was a relatively smooth and minimally painful experience. The staff there were masked and really on top of cleanliness and hygiene and meticulously disinfecting each workspace before and after every client. Fiona handled my daughter's piercing in the most professional manner from start to finish. Her bedside manner really put my daughter at ease and of course, my daughter instantly sat up and loved her new piercing. These guys rock and the place has such a good feel. read more
