Tattoo Shops near Clinton

“First, I’m not typically a 5 star reviewer. That said, if I could give this place 40 stars I would. Brought a piece I drew and Shad was excited to set up time for me to get the work done. Conversation wasn’t forced, great vibes. Highly recommend. Thanks Shad!“

“I waited a year to leave this review because I wanted to base it on multiple visits. I will start by saying that Elegance has provided, by far, the best piercing experiences I have ever had. I have been there probably 8 times in the last year, and it has never been anything but absolutely immaculate. Like, not even a singular speck of dust exists in this studio. If you prioritize and value cleanliness when choosing a piercing/tattoo studio, then this is most definitely the place for you. Piercings are by appointment, so you truly get a VIP experience each and every time you walk in the door. The front of house staff are personable and super knowledgable. They offer a wonderful variety of beautiful, *quality* jewelry in every price range. Once you select your jewelry, you get to wait in cozy massage chairs while it’s autoclaved (again, cleanliness is an A+++) and they even offer you drink and some candy! When it’s time to be pierced, you’re brought into one of their beautiful, private rooms.

I have been pierced by both Jay and Joe, and both of them were fantastic. Jay (Owner) is wildly passionate about piercing and it truly shows the quality of his work, the way he educates guests about piercings & anatomy, and the time & care he puts into each piercing. He makes you feel so comfortable, and walks you through what he’s doing as he does it, so no touch, pinch, or pain is ever a surprise. He’s now pierced my nostril, flat, eyebrow, tragus, and he has fixed/re-pierced both nips (after they were pierced way too shallow at another studio before I knew about Elegance.) They ALL have perfect placement, and have healed wonderfully. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting Joe and having him pierce my daith. He was friendly, very down to earth, and his love of piercing was so evident. He nailed the placement, it was nearly painless, and it’s one of my favorite piercings now. 

Pricing at Elegance is very comparable to other studios in the area, but the quality of the jewelry, the piercing expertise, and the experience as a whole are exponentially better than what you’d find anywhere else. 

One of my favorite things about Elegance is their dedication to being LGBTQ+ inclusive. Their forms include the spaces for preferred name and pronouns (if they don’t match your ID) and they are flawless at using them. 

For as long as Elegance is around, this is the only place I will go to for my piercings, and the only place I will recommend to other people! There is a reason they have over 500 five star reviews, and it’s because every visit is a five star experience, each and every time. 100000/10 recommend Elegance!“

“Nick was amazing,the staff was friendly and it was so clean. I got a piece honoring my grandmother. A unique butterfly, Nick made sure my tattoo was as beautiful as my grandmother was. Thank you again so much and I look forward to having more work done with you and ZaZa ink.“

“They were so sweet and patient and made me feel safe to get my bellybutton piercing done. This was my first time going here for my piercing, and I am happy to get more stuff done here!!“

“I got a couple pieces done there by Greg, and I gotta say, he is extremely professional and extremely clean. his line work is steady, precise, and the pieces I got healed real fast and I had no problems after. the setting of the shop is friendly and welcoming, and I highly recommend getting work done there.“

“I’ve gotten I think 16 tattoos at Blvck Rose and they should be sick of me, but everyone is still nice to me lol. Super queer friendly, clean, safe. I’ve primarily seen Luke and he does such an amazing job with all of my stupid gross ideas, and I’ve got some significant scarring so I’m definitely not the easiest canvas. My cousins also get work done there, so between us we’ve basically seen all the artists and we’ve loved all of them. Every experience I’ve had getting piercings with Brie was also awesome.“

“I have 10 tattoos & have never returned to the same person until T did 1 of mine & so far he’s done 3 now ? he will be doing another one shortly. He’s the best. He’s got great personality, he likes to joke around, but he takes his work very seriously and he’s really good at it“

“I got a tattoo by Amber today and it came out even better than I expected! I love it, Amber was professional and kind, and I will be back for more.“

“My fiancé wanted the same exact ankle tattoo duplicate onto him. which is my name!We called Cat the owner and was lucky enough to get a same day appointment. The shop is super clean and organized, Cat got an eye for detail ,she is friendly , professional ,flexible and she is an artist with a solid work ethic. Each tattoo tells a story, so beautiful and passionate. Choose Cat for the job and I guarantee you’ll be happy forever. Thank you Cat !! You are awesome ?Note: Cash only ?“

“Carlos Lopez is, by far, absolutely one of the best tattoo artists in New England, and conveniently located in north central Massachusetts. Carlos Lopez is the artist to go to and you should book with him asap.

Really impressed with his drawing skills (original, fresh, legible designs) and his tattooing ability - super crisp and consistent linework with bold outlines, and he can really pack in the black!

Professionalism: responsive to emails. Pricing is affordable while also reflecting his experience and top-notch art skills. Original artwork: I gave him my idea with some guidelines on what I wanted and didn’t want, and he created something 1000x better. He custom drew and placed the design to fit MY skin (I have keloids, scarring, and moles he had to work around), in the area I wanted. He is a versatile artist and you should let him work his magic: I highly recommend you give him some creative freedom with your idea and preferred style. He made some very reasonable modifications to my idea and truly elevated it into an incredible tattoo.

His shop is clean and well-lit (the entire plaza and parking lot, as well). He was on time. We talked very little while he was working, which suited me just fine as I’m an introvert. He’s a non-smoker, I appreciated that he didn’t have to take smoke breaks and that his shop didn’t smell like cigarettes or incense or anything else.

Most importantly, he was respectful of my body and me as a person. I have some fear/discomfort around men in general and have always been super selective about who touches me, and almost exclusively prefer only working with women (doctors, massage therapists, dentists, etc.). I know that’s extreme – I just want to say I felt incredibly comfortable with Carlos Lopez from Day 1 and that’s rare for me, and I’m mentioning it in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Carlos Lopez is *the* best and I hope you get to work with him! I am beyond pleased with the whole experience & tattoo.“

“Absolutely love getting my tattoos done here, no worries ever!! Nav is lush can’t wait to come back!!!“
