Boston Tattoo Company - Medford

Joe was really nice and helpful. I did a septum and one earlobe piercing. The septum didn’t hurt much (although I don’t know how that compares), and the earlobe barely hurt at all. The shop seems nice and clean, and Joe seemed to do things in a sterile way. They have their various certifications on the wall, which I think is great. Obviously this is only one experience, but seemed great to me!

Jeudiel is a stud! Could not have asked for a better tattoo artist for my first ever tattoo. Thank you for your kindness, patience and help in getting my first ever tattoo done. Highly recommend him if you are looking to get inked!! 5 stars all the way

I went to the Boston Tattoo Company in Medford, MA for my first tattoo... and I absolutely love that place! I was pretty nervous, but everyone was super nice and very helpful. I was checked in right away, and then I handed my artist (Alec) my drawing. He got everything set up, and then the tattoo itself took barely 25 minutes. I drew the tattoo, but Alec really made it come alive! Plus, Alec was very sweet and very nice, and when I get another tattoo, I will definitely be going to him.

I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Alec!!

I’ve gotten multiple piercings done here and they are the best! Staff is super friendly. Definitely would recommend.

Jeudiel did amazing work!

I got a 4-hour portrait of my dog who died almost 2 years ago now. I sat with Jeudiel for about ten minutes for our free consult and I felt super comfortable. He asked about my dog's personality and helped me to choose the best photo. He is relatively new to tattooing (even though he's a very experienced artist) and is therefor slightly less expensive than others at the shop. However, you can't tell from his work that he's newish to the scene. Win win for me!

I got my first tattoo here and it was amazing! The staff were incredibly nice and my artist Jeudiel did a fantastic job with my fine line tattoo. Will definitely be back!

Good experience overall but beware if you have sensitive skin!!

I went for a piercing on the flat part of my cartilage. Staff was lovely and the experience was smooth and easy but I paid extra to be pierced with a 14k gold earring because I have very sensitive skin and can not wear stainless steel jewelry. Turns out I paid $160 for a piece of BVLA jewelry that is only gold at the jewel end but still stainless steel through out the whole post, which is the part that actually is going through my ear and touching the whole wound. When you pick out your earring, only the jewel end is on display and they remove it from the display using pliers. I wish the professional that was piercing me had mentioned this to me but I guess they wanted me to pay extra for the gold earring.

I got my ear pierced early March and it has been giving me such a hard time ever since. I figured it was because it was a tougher area on my ear and just took longer to heal but one day while rotating the earring, I accidentally unscrewed the labret and realized the post was steel. I understood why I’ve been in so much pain for the past 2 months - I’ve been having an allergic reaction this whole time. I ordered a gold plated labret off of Etsy for $12 and within 4 days, all the swelling went down and the 8mm post is already too big when before, my ear was almost swelling over the back of the earring post. I slept on my left side after 3 months last night lol

If you have sensitive skin like I do, bring your own gold earring. Maybe call and ask in advance what size would be best suited so you don’t leave paying over $200 for piercing, tip, and jewelry. 3 stars for quick & easy piercing and kind staff. Minus 2 for lying and ripping me off.

Charged me $170 for two nose piercings just for them to be uneven they looked so bad I had to take them out wasted almost $200. Don’t recommend and the piercer was rude.

I got both of my ear lobes pierced by Joe, who did an amazing job. He was really calm and overall chill throughout the proces and ensured that the equipment was sterile. There's a wide range of jewelry as well.
Also, the front desk person is really nice :)

The studio is clean and sanitary, and all the artists there are welcoming and kind. I was pierced there and felt like I was given more than adequate time to choose jewelry and discuss options for piercings based on the shape of my ears and other existing piercings. Overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely be returning!
