    Excellent artist with AMAZING line work. Khoa was exceptionally friendly and provided a pleasant environment. The final product blew me away.

    The outline of my back piece. Done by Jason.

    I've had a total of 4 sessions with Jason for my back tattoo and it had came out better than I had expected ! Booking an appointment has always been a breeze whether it's by phone call, email or Facebook messaging with him. He's a super laid back & chill kinda guy. Every session we had would be 5-7 hours long but it goes by quick. His attention to details are top notched! Even when my Phoenix hasn't been shaded in yet, it still looked dope because the lining was on point ! Jason had always told me that he is willing to stay longer after closing to get as much work done as possible and was never rushing for my tattoo . I enjoyed all of our sessions because he had made me super comfortable and we always had great conversation without slowing down the work. I also liked the fact that Jason always included his opinion as to what I like and what would look best for my tattoo . I've gone to other places where I asked the artist for an opinion and all they could say is "if you like it, do it" but they never turned out as nice as I've liked it which I will be returning to Jason to have him fixed it up. His weekends availabilities are always booked though, but I've always been lucky to get fit right in due to cancellations. This place is super clean and they use hospital graded everything and their stuff is cleaned by an autoclaved machine ! Jason is the guy to go to ! I'll never have to go hunt for another artist again ! You won't be disappoint with Jason !! Also, This place takes cash, credit/debit from Visa & MasterCard ONLY! :)

    Qwah (my spelling) is a gentleman and an artist. This was my first serious tattoo, and as an out-of-towner, I could not be happier. It's such a big decision- especially if you don't have much experience with tattoo. His lines are crisp and clean. His hands are steady- like a surgeon. His artistic talent was for my tastes- not his. If you are in the area, I highly recommend him. Next time I'm in Boston- I'll go see him again! NO REGRETS

    Been wanting another tat for quite some time now but something always comes up. We initially went to Pino Bros, but there was a 3 hr wait for a female to do the work and I am HIGHLY female phobic, so they recommended this place! They were very friendly, the kid that did my work didnt have any tat's (his name is on the card, but I can't really read it!) which concerned me at first, but once he explained why, I was fine. He did a great job, didnt get anything crazy, just a sun on my lower back and I can't wait to go back and get another one. Something about getting inked is soooo relaxing/soothing for me, so much so that I dozed off for a bit!

    Jason did it!

    I live in New York, but I live in Boston in my mind. I was visiting for two days and had money on me and thought I'd get my second tattoo at an actual, reputable place. Did my Google searches and whatnot and honestly there are tattoo places in Cambridge that have better Yelp reviews than Skin Art, but I called them and didn't feel the same comforting vibe that I got from Skin Art. I'm SO happy I about my decision. I got this gorgeous tattoo done by who I'm assuming is Jason (didn't get his name :/ I'm such an idiot) and months later, people STILL compliment me on it. I absolutely love it, and I'm actually heading back to Boston in the next month or so to get another done! Believe I'll be in Jason's chair at Skin Art Studio.

    I am a huge horror fan, I know, does not get weirder than that, but it does! My favorite horror movie of all times is The Lost Boys! The movie is amazing and the soundtrack I listen to on a daily basis. I have always wanted a Lost Boys Tattoo and Jason at the Skin Art Studio made this happen. Not only is Jason an amazing artist, he is professional, courteous, funny and has an exceptional attention to detail! It is very rare that you find a tattoo shop which has so many talented and just awesome people working there! Skin Art Studio and Jason has a client forever! I would never think of going to another tattoo shop again! Thank you so much!!

    Jason is my artist he tattooed this custom Royal flush as well as the poker chips and shading around my arm. HEALED IN 6 DAYS!

They have portfolios of the artsists' work on the website. Based on Yelp reviews, I chose Andy Reach and he was great. In order to reserve your timeslot, you send a deposit to your artist (I chose to do so via Venmo), for me it was $60. After you receive the tattoo you pay the remaining amount, $40 for me. [Note: $100 is the minimum fee at Redemption, even for a small tattoo like mine. I was happy to pay that knowing I'm working with a great artist at a reputable shop, but you can probably find cheaper for small, single-color tattoos elsewhere.] Don't forget to tip too! Andy did a great job on my tattoo. I had a really specific design (the 3 stars from the corner of the page in the Harry Potter books) and he copied it exactly. He was very honest and upfront with me about what size and location would last well instead of promising something that would never work long term. I left with a slightly bigger tattoo than I'd anticipated, but I feel confident that it won't fade or blur like the smaller size I'd initially planned on. All in, I was probably under the needle for 20 minutes tops. It felt like someone digging their fingernail into your skin. Sure, it hurts, but no biggie. A month and a half later, my tattoo has healed really nicely and looks great. It bled a little bit the first night but other than that healing was fairly quick and easy. I will absolutely come back to Redemption and Andy specifically if/when I decide to get my next tattoo.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I had to wait a little while longer to visit the shop for the first time! After booking the consultation, and meeting my artist, I put down my deposit and waited one painstakingly long week before the official appointment arrived. Of course I was nervous as heck because I had job idea how much the tattoo cost, or how painful it was gonna be, plus doing anywhere during all this madness is a challenge within itself. However, all the safety precautions were being taken, all artists and customers (including myself) had masks and gloves on, and the procedure went great! Jebb, (my artist) did a phenomenal job of making me feel comfortable and calm during the whole thing, and I will definitely be coming back here for my next tattoo! p.s, my art is healing really nicely, and the pain afterwards was little to none!

If you are going to be in pain for an undetermined amount of time, she will not only show sympathy, but will also give you fantastic things to look up on your smart phone to distract you from the agony. 4.) She introduced me to Insanity Wolf. 3.) She has a curious passion for mustachioed men like her burly tattooed husband and Freddie Mercury. 2.) She won't judge you for what you want tattooed or try to talk you out of something you really love. She will counsel, give your advise on placement or size, but in the end, it's your fuck!ng tattoo. 1.) She is a spectacular artist! Her designs are fun, fresh, and timeless.

I'm not a cookie-cutter person, and I don't want a cookie-cutter, pulled-from-a-book design. I wanted a "creation" by someone who might be interested in who I am and could guide me in my creative pursuit. I was directed to Dia by Carl Grace at the Boston Tattoo Convention 2013. Since then, in the last 4 months, Dia's created (2) totally unique works of art on my body. I couldn't be happier with them! The first, a large, abstract watercolor shoulder piece, was a truly creative experience. Neither Dia nor I knew what it would look like until it was done. It gradually evolved as she began to add color in dramatic, broad strokes and in interesting, dripping "moments" running down my arm, back, and chest. Healing was quick and easy only a little scabbing. The second is a hand-sized realistic-looking botanical peach on my hip. My first tattoo, done just before my 20th high school reunion, was a quarter-sized traditional (black-outlined) peach. Dia's larger, brighter cover-up was beautifully executed and is completely healed - only 3 weeks 4 weeks later. I can't WAIT for my next Dia-tattoo! Dia's talent is incredible, and her reputation is growing locally, nationally and even internationally. If you want a truly beautiful and unique work of body art, make your appointment now. Currently, she is booking 2-3 months in advance.

Marina was running the shop herself and took care of 3 clients in a short period of time without rushing. she was super kind and helpful even though i didn't get my piercing here. she let me know my options and i chose to replace the bottom disc of a floating naval with a ball since the disc was digging into me. after she replaced the disc, i nearly immediately started feeling better. the disc had swollen the area around my naval, but the ball nearly immediately settled it. the bar already seems much longer due to the swelling going down after about 14 hours. she was patient, helpful and caring. i appreciate that she cared about my healing more than the place i got the piercing done from! and i love her pink gloves and matching supplies. comfortable waiting room, piercing room, good vibes. i love that they separated the piercing and tattoo sections. wonderful customer service. thank you for not treating clients like a burden.

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.
