Best Tattoo Shops In Worcester

“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!“

“Phenomenal experience today with Randi. Love the work they did and just as a experience as a whole . Was kind compassionate and professional . Came in a stranger felt like I left a friend ... 100% recommend“

“Listened to what we wanted (my wife and I were getting matching tats) and modified and adjusted a design until it was just right and worked for both of us. Super clean and professional.“

“Got one tattoo there 10 years ago. Got my second from Emma back in July 2022 and about to get another one next week. Maybe a couple small ones. The staff there are super chill and definitely know what they are doing. Clean place and sterile. They definitely make you feel welcome and work with you answering any questions you may have and making sure you walk out satisfied and happy. Planning to get more from them down the line. Thanks so much for making my experiences great. That's why I keep coming back for more great tattoos. Thanks Emma for being an amazing tattoo artist.“

Kelsey does an amazing job and I already know I want her to do all my tattoos, she is so talented! She has a soft hand and makes sure everything is done perfectly. My tattoo healed beautifully too!! Absolutely get your next tattoo here:)Services: Tattoo design“

“My friend and I got 5 tattoos total from Rodney. He did amazing work and is a great guy to talk to. I got my first tattoos through him and I couldn't be happier. Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely coming back to him! (My friend and I are from out of state)“

“Jess is the best! I have been going to her since she started doing microblading services! She’s very professional and knowledgable.“

“Gerry is the best. I recently got tattooed by other artists at other shops & I had to come give a review to praise Gerry. His work is the best and so is his personality/demeanor. Go get tatted by him“

“Found my artist, Julio, on ig and there was great communication throughout the whole process. Was a bit nervous as I have darker complexion and didn’t know how the tattoo would end up looking on my skin, but I’m super happy with how it turned out — great artist, would highly recommend. Thanks again Julio!“

“I've used this salon twice - 3 y ago and just last month. Very happy with Kristin's work (and also with her professional progress since last time). She's attentive to what you want and need, gentle and caring during procedure. My skin is not easy to work with, especially on lips ?, so she's doing a great job....
Will use again and will rec-d to other people!
Thank you!“

“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 ?“

“I have gone to Studio 31 3 times for tattoos and have always had a great experience. The shop is super clean and has a cool atmosphere and all of the artists do solid work! I had a piece done yesterday by Shoe on my calf and I had planned to do both calves in one sitting. After the first was done, we talked about how I was feeling and what the best approach would be as I wanted to get a bit more done but didn’t think I would be able to sit still for another 2+ hours. I asked if we could do the outline to get things started and Shoe gave me the pros and cons for that. I had seen a post about this same artist before, saying that he talked her out of doing what she wanted or said he could not do what she wanted. I had the complete opposite experience. He gave advice as to why it is better to do the entire thing in one sitting but also said try at it was my choice as I was the customer. I knew that I didn’t t know better than someone who has been doing it for 20+ years and took his advice. Needless to say, I will be going back in a few weeks to get my other calf done. Lastly, besides being knowledgeable, he does really great work! I highly recommend this place and also Shoe and Jason Banks (those are the only artists I have gotten ink from).“

“Great experience! Me and 2 of my friends got our ears pierced and they were all very friendly and efficient!“

“Tabitha does a great job! I love her work and I'll definitely be coming back for more!“
