Greetings!

So I just wanted to take a moment and talk about our walk-in days. Most of you know that we are very busy, and all of our artists have a devoted clientele. Depending on the artist, we could be booked a month to a year ahead. Contrary to rumour, though, it is not true that you *can't* get an appointment with any if the artists, it is just that you have to be a tiny little bit patient. The patience will pay off though in your amazing, eye-catching tattoo!

Back to walk-ins. We know that some of you don't want to wait. Some of you want your tattoo RIGHT NOW. So we do our best to accomodate you by having semi-regular walk-in days on the weekends. We don't do it every weekend, but when we can we'll do first-come first-serve walk-ins on Saturdays and Sundays. Sooo...the best way to know what's up on a particular Saturday is to call Friday night. we're open til 10 and we'll know exactly what's going on as far as walk-ins go for the weekend. So, when in doubt, call us to check! 617-522-6444.

As always, come by to browse and make a consultation appointment any time we're open- Sundays 12-8 and Monday-Saturday 10-10.

GUEST ARTISTS!!

Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo

FAT RAM’S PUMPKIN TATTOO wins the category again. Ram has been tattooing since the 1980s, and he’s a grad of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, so his ink is true artistry. Select your own design once you get there, or take advantage of Ram’s talented staff, who can help you create and customize your body’s own identifying mark. Make an appointment, but for God’s sake, don’t succumb to the cheeseball allure of an Asian character tattooed on the small of your back.
