Tattoo Artists in Cambridge, MA

I also can't speak highly enough of Good Faith on Comm. Ave. I've been to Ian many times and am always blown away by the work he does. All of the artists there are incredibly talented, kind and professional. Best shop in Boston!

Alicia Thomas from Boston Tattoo Company in Somerville is amazing with the geometric stuff. Look her up on instagram,@aliciathomas_art

come to lowell for a real artist. tagio is the best. 40 mins north well worth the trip

[Good Faith Tattoos](http://www.yelp.com/biz/good-faith-tattoos-brookline?hrid=D1ZHIG-5 qumLiXXrMmoaRg&rh_type=phrase&rh_ident=ian) on Comm Ave is the best in the city. I have a full sleeve and both sides of my ribs done and I got them all from Ian at Good Faith. All the guys there are wicked nice and incredibly talented.

I personally know Roz and Ram who both have their respective shops. They've done amazing work on many of my friends. Ram runs [Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in JP.](http://www.pumpkintattoo.com) Roz is at [Boston Tattoo Company in Wellington Circle.](http://www.thebostontattoocompany.com/#!medford/c187 a)

Justin Kopec is pretty awesome, he was doing work at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo, then had his own place. not sure what his status is these days, as he is attempting to move to california, but you can find him on instagram at justinktattoo

[Kristina Bennett](http://www.offthemaptattoo.com/artists/Kristina_Bennett/) is guesting at Off The Map in Easthampton this winter, you might want to see if you can get an appointment with her? OTM is a bit far but it's one to watch, they are very concerned with quality there.

Charlie at Sacred Addition in East Bridgewater is worth the drive and wait.

If you can get up north, check out Aaron@The Ink Club in Billerica, some very friendly and talented artists there.

I used to go to [Chameleon](http://www.chameleonbodyarts.com/) in The Garage in Harvard Square for piercings and always had a good experience. Don't know about tattoos but they do free art consultations so that helps.

I've had mine done at Boston Tattoo Company in Davis Square in Somerville. A little out of the way, but accessible by the T and a very talented group of artists.

Riverside Tattoo in Cambridge. Dan and co. are great at their craft and good at conversation too.

Brilliance tattoo

Pino bros has good artists. Check out their online portfolios.

I (and several friends) have had ours done at Redemption Tattoo north of Porter Square. Several good artists there, mine was done by Deirdre Doyle. I've also seen excellent work at Gallery Tattoo out in Concord, but it's a haul to get out there. *edit* echo /u/NewDriverStew's comment about style, Redemption is a pretty traditional shop

Boston Barber & Tattoo Co Anything these guys do is top of the line

I haven't been to this place yet, but Visible Ink on Rte 99 in Malden/Saugus is next on my list. Several of the guys there have great portfolios. http://visibleinktattoo.com/

Riverside tattoo company in cambridge.

Brian Hemming at Regeneration and Jaesun Duggan at Always & Forever are both great.

Natan Alexander in Salem at Witch City Ink. The only one I'd recommend.

To echo some other folks: Regeneration in Allston. Dan Bythewood is an old friend and has done most of my sleeve. Edwin Marquez did my zombie prom queen - and Brian Hemming did my little brother's first tattoo.

My guy is out in Concord but he does amazing work. http://www.thegallerytattoostudio.com/ his name is Kurt, he's the owner. Really really great stuff.

Josh Wallis did 3 out of my 4 pieces. He's rad.

Dave Norton at Pino Bro's

Deirdre Doyle at Chameleon Tattoo and Body Piercing did a back piece of wings with detailed feathers and Celtic knotwork on me. You can peruse her portfolio at her website. Also she's a very cool human being. http://doyletattoo.com/home.html

Yes! Matt Crocker!

Jaesun Duggan has done many of my sisters tattoos. Tattoos by Jaesun

Dave Norton!!

I've gotten all my work done at Pumpkin Tattoo, but I can't speak to clean fine lines.

Only one place to go...Pino Bros Ink in Camridge. Frank Pino Jr will take care of you.

Drastic Tattoo in Peabody!

Skin Art Studio in Cambridge is great, too. Got a lot of my ink there.

The Gallery Tattoo Studio in Concord. Kurt used to work at Pino Bros Ink, until he opened his own shop. So either of those.

Ms Colby Leonard also works with that charity project for breast cancer mastectomy patients, so that's pretty cool, too.

Victoria Road Tattoo:)

Rave'ing Ink in Arbury court, wouldn't go anywhere else

Alexandra Hugianua at Fabio's, Mill Road, Cambridge

Alexandra Hugianu at tattoos by fabio

Custom Ink on Cherry Hinton Road - talented, genuinely nice guys

you cant really ask for a 'best tattoo artist' as all of them specialise in their own kind of art, there might be one better at doing anime than writing but then the other would be better at doing other designs, it all depends what you want done. Alot of tattoo artists will not ink you if they think they are not competant to do the design you have asked . personally i would recommend Dave The-Rave Casbolt from Rave'ing Ink in arbury court as his work is incredible and a really good all rounder, ive shopped around and he does offer the best prices and in general a very sound guy. Highly reccomended

I went to Tora tattoo and loved it.. i even had a conversation with Chris who did mine about a tattoo that he had fixed for a lady, it was a foot print. obviously didnt see the before or after but i would think it had detailed lines… also Jaime I have heard is amazing!!! good luck

I second going back to Thrive. Jesse Villemaire will help you right out!

Ben from Berlin Tattoo in Kitchener. He's amazing, but takes a few months to get an appointment with him.

Drew Atkins is boss status.

Anthony Tattooman Dowell isnt that far, but thats my dude nd he does killllller work.

Come to Zanesville Dropped Anchor can help..Drew Atkins does good work

My boy can hook you up. Gonzalo Chavez, hit him up. He does sick work.

Tremont Dental Care. They are super nice and they have Saturday hours.

Hourglass Tattoo in Cambridge on Mass Ave. Tattoo artist's name is Andrew.
