I was back visiting family on the east coast and reached out to the artists and luckily Blyth had an opening. I originally asked for a couple of words and then when I got to the studio I had changed my mind and also wanted a little duck she was able to accommodate me and do both my original idea as well as the duck. Both pieces were memorial pieces for my dad who had just passed away.Blyth and I had nice light hearted conversation while she was tattooing and she was super sweet about making sure I loved the placement as well as the font. She also made sure that the words were the same black and needle size as a tattoo they would be next to so that it looked perfect.The atmosphere was so inviting and unlike any other shop I’d ever been in, you could tell it’s a very clean shop but I didn’t feel like I was in a doctors office like I have in other shops.I hope to get more work done by Blyth when I’m in town in the future!
I got my newest tattoo done by Blyth, she did such an INCREDIBLE job! She’s very thorough, precise, and makes you feel comfortable! The whole vibe of this shop is immaculate, very clean, and you can really tell how creative these artists are. Not to mention how adorable her office aesthetic is, Blyth is SUPER talented and a very kind hearted person. Seriously such a great job. I won’t be going anywhere else for my next tattoos!🥰
Great artists, atmosphere & service!I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Vellum Art Collective. The shop was easy to find, very clean, professional and fun! Artist Blyth was a breeze to communicate with & worked beautifully to provide me a tattoo that I’m loving!! Owner Jake was also tattooing and I got to peak in on an awesome piece he was working on.
I’ve been going to Jake since before he opened this shop, and I can’t recommend Vellum Art Collective enough! As soon as you walk in the door you can feel that it’s a different vibe from the other tattoo parlors in the area. The building itself has so much character, and it’s both esthetically pleasing, and immaculately clean. The entire staff at Vellum are so friendly and approachable, and they have all of the necessities plus more (espresso and snacks) to make sure that you have a comfortable and 5 star experience. I personally love that each artist has their own open room off of the main seating area, as it gives you just enough privacy to be comfortable while getting tattooed, without feeling secluded or too tucked-away. You’re still able to interact with all members of the team throughout your appointment, but you can relax without feeling exposed to a room full of people. Each artist has their own unique style of art, that ensures that you can get exactly what you’re looking for! I’ve referred multiple friends to Jake, and none of them have ever left disappointed with their artwork. If you’re considering booking at Vellum, this is your sign to just do it!
Vellum Art Collective is the best studio I have ever gotten work done in. The space is inviting and comfortable, and each person is getting inked in a private room, not jammed next to four or five other people. I have over 85 hours of tattooing done on me, and this place is the best around. Jake has done the majority of both my full-arm sleeves, and I love every inch of them. Tattoos are forever make sure you get one you like. I highly recommend this studio and its artists.
I had a very positive experience at Vellum where i got my first ever professional tattoo done by Blyth! she made the whole experience really comfortable and was very accommodating. the vibe and decor of the studio was also inviting and cool to look at. my tattoo healed great and i would love to come back and get more work done :)
Vellum is such a dope space. Lots of fun decor and trinkets to get lost in admiring if youre someone who enjoys the visual stimulation. Clean, organized and comfy space.Blyth is a gem. Super sweet, very kind and accommodating, and just an all around fun time. She was welcoming and easy to chat with which made my experience even better. Her tattooing space is like a mini museum and a cool glimpse into her funky world.She was attentive and communicative from start to finish, even before I ever stepped foot in the shop. Went for a Friday the 13th flasher, and love my new addition! 10/10 highly recommend, all the stars for Blyth and Vellum. 100% plan to go back to her for my next piece 😊
Absolutely loved my experience at Vellum! Blyth is amazing and so sweet. She is very accommodating and friendly and does an incredible job! The shop is very clean and the decor is sick as hell! In love with my tattoo, highly recommend the shop :)
I got my first tattoo for my 22nd birthday and was not disappointed. Blyth was absolutely the best! I loved the vibes, the transparency, the decor, and overall made my first time tattoo experience really great. Blyth used to work for tattoo removals, so she knows a lot about where tattoos will last longer, where they might be more prone to fading, etc. I appreciated the transparency of it and I knew I was in good hands. She made sure to ask questions and reassure that the placing/tattoo design was to my liking. At the end, the aftercare goodie bag was just the cutest. Would definitely recommend!
Got some small line work done by Blyth and they all came out amazing! She communicated really well, and I was checked on many times to ensure I was comfortable at all times, and that my tattoos were lined up and sized exactly how I want. I was provided with an aftercare bag as well! The shop was so unique, and the abundance of personalized decorations made the shop feel very warm and welcoming. I definitely felt like a valued customer the whole time!
Blyth exceeded our expectations beyond belief. My brother and I had a few ideas for a simple tattoo to honor our mom who passed. We gave her some ideas and she drew up many designs that we loved, and most importantly she absolutely killed the final tattoo. The shop itself was so welcoming and beautiful inside as well! Highly highly recommend, I will be back to see her!
Blyth was a pleasure to meet and I am extremely pleased with her work. She took her time with placement to make sure the new tattoo looks good with the surrounding tattoos, I already have. The overall feel of the shop was really nice, and welcoming. Also love the way its decorated. Easy parking is a plus
Blyth was fabulous. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of during my appointment. She was very responsive during the planning process and was meticulous about making sure the stencil was perfectly placed before beginning. I cant wait to go back!
I absolutely cannot express enough how pleasant Blyth is to work with. Not only is she talented, but she’s so kind and puts your comfort on a pedestal. I told her to “do her thing” and she came up with the most incredible design for me. The vibe of the studio is moody in all the right ways and I can’t wait to continue working with her in years to come!!
Had a great experience getting my first tattoo at Vellum! I worked with Blyth and she was very professional through the whole experience, from designing my tattoo (dedicated to my dog) to actually tattooing me. The studio is also so comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend this tattoo studio!
I’ve been going to Jake for 8 years and haven’t let anyone else tattoo me since. Just recently, another phenomenal experience and 3 more sessions scheduled in the near future. If you’re looking for talented artists that won’t sacrifice quality, this is the place. I’ve given Jake ideas on what I’m interested in and let him come up with a custom design every time, He always knocks it out of the park. My suggestion for anyone interested, get on the waitlist. ITS WORTH THE WAIT.Thank you Jake, Blyth and Nick for another great experience 🤘🏻
My experience with Blyth was nothing short of comfortable, clean, and simply amazing. She was more than excited to work with me with the concept I had in mind for a small linework tattoo, and made the extra steps to make sure I felt welcomed and cared for before and during the appointment. Vellum Art Collective had an overall welcoming atmosphere with all the coolest quirky trinkets and artists who you can tell were family and made the space open to all. I really hope people make the steps to work with and visit Vellum Art Collective. :)
My sister and I got tattoo cover ups from Blyth today and she was absolutely wonderful. She was very informative and professional. The shop was very clean and easy to find. Our tattoos both came out beautiful. I highly recommended Blyth
Quite possibly one of the greatest and most pleasant experiences Ive ever had getting a tattoo! Blyth was incredibly professional and made the whole experience feel very welcoming and I cant wait to get more tattoos from her. The shop has an amazing atmosphere and is filled with great art and decor that captures your attention and the room I received my tattoo in was jam packed with so many things to look at that before I could see it all my tattoo was finished. I was very happy with my tattoo and the line work was crisp and clean and my artist Blyth was wonderfully full of great conversation. Before I knew it my tattoo was finished and I will absolutely be coming back for more and would highly recommend this shop to someone whether its your first tattoo or your 20th tattoo. Theres not one negative thing I could say.
This shop is extremely professional. Jake took his time creating a unique and very detailed tattoo that captured all the elements I wanted working late both appointments. Blyth assisted me by answering all of my questions well in advance. Both of them were patient, kind, and clearly love the work they do.
I got my very first tattoo today from Blyth! I loved my entire experience. The studio had such a good vibe. I loved Blyths space. I felt comfortable and had a lot to look at while getting my tattoo. She spent time reviewing everything with me including the after care and I loved the goody bag she gave me to take home. Blyth was so friendly and answered all the questions I had. I will definitely be back for more :)
The BEST! My friend and I wanted to do a matching tattoo - we decided on the day before and contacted Blyth, who was ADORABLE and got us a last minute appointment. We were very happy about the whole process: the studio is super cool, clean, and beautiful; Blyth is awesome, talked with us about our wants and needs and when we thought it couldnt get better, Blyth had a surprise at the end (cant tell, you have to go and check)! We are both very happy with our tattoos and our experience at Vellum! HIGHLY recommend!
Best studio around! I have followed my artist Dakoda through 3 studios now and this one is my favorite by far. Such a beautiful, clean and professional space. The features of the old bank that it is built in are an amazing addition too! I havent met anyone but Dakoda personally but I have heard nothing but positive reviews of the other artists in the shop. Dakoda is one of the most caring and professional artists in the valley!
Wonderful experience at Vellum! Very chill and relaxing. Blyth did mine, and I could not be happier with her work! High recommend. I will be going back to her for all future tattoos!
My experience at Vellum was absolutely wonderful!! The shop is gorgeous and the artists there were so nice. Id been waiting on the right person to do my garlic girl tattoo, and Blyth was total perfection! I couldnt be happier with how it turned out, and cannot wait to get more work done by her soon!
Amazing! I had my first tattoos (2) done by Blyth (Campbell), and what a wonderful experience. She was patient, attending to my questions about the process: the whys and why nots in order to achieve the end product I desired. And I am very pleased, and have already booked another appointment with HER:)
Had a great time getting tattooed by Blyth! Shes so sweet, funny, and talented. Im so happy with how my tattoo came out and I will definitely be following Blyths career and coming back for more work from her. Also, the shop was really clean, everyone else who works there was super nice, and I love that it was easy to find AND had ample *free* parking available.
Excellent experience! The artist, Blyth, was great and super knowledgeable! The studio environment was warm and welcoming. If I wasnt moving back to Georgia, Id come back to this place again!
I had an amazing experience here with Blyth, especially for a first tattoo. Blyth did a wonderful job not only with the tattoo, but also with making me feel comfortable in the studio. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and I felt like I could really relax and enjoy the experience!
Had a great experience at this location. Nick was my tattoo artist and I highly recommend him and the artists at Vellum Art Collective. It’s a clean and professional environment where they make you feel comfortable during the whole process. This is the place to go if you are planning on getting a tattoo done soon!
It was my first tattoo and it was a great experience. Jake had the design drawn up when i got there and it was even better than expected. It looks amazing and he was very professional.
I had my ankle and foot tattooed by Blyth Campbell. She has the patience of a Saint!! Once Blyth stenciled my design on my ankle and foot, what I had selected from a picture (friend), I did not like at all. Blyth kept changing my design until finally I liked it. During this process she was kind, compassionate, and kept assuring me that it is okay - its your tattoo so I want you to be happy with it. AND the end-product turned out great - Thank you Blyth
I got my first tattoo here, and my experience was absolutely amazing. The environment and Blyth herself was so comforting. Any anxiety I had about getting a tattoo was gone. The tattoo its self is amazing too with beautiful line work.
The shop itself was very clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. A+ vibes and layout!Blyth, my artist, was warm and welcoming and absolutely fabulous. She is obviously very skilled and a wonderful tattooer, but she is also great at putting you at ease and helping you stay comfortable throughout the tattoo process. I look forward to getting more tattoos here
This is one of my best experiences I’ve had of getting a tattoo! The staff is so personal and are a great time all together, the art is stunning and drawn perfectly and is so personal I can’t wait to come back again to get so many bigger and better pieces! This is definitely the shop for me! My artist was Bylth was absolutely fantastic and I felt really close in a short amount of time. Jake the owner clearly cares about every person who walks in and is so passionate and it really shows in how he talks to you. I already can’t wait to go back to get my next piece!!!
I had an awesome experience here! The shop itself was so inviting and I loved the decor. Blyth was so welcoming and she made the process easy and smooth. This was the most relaxed I have ever been during a tattoo session and I will be back!
I can’t say enough good things about this studio! It was my first time there but I felt totally welcome and comfortable. The place was super clean and bright and had such an amazing vibe I could have just hung out after my appointment. I saw Blyth and she took her time to make sure I was comfortable and understood the process the entire time. My tattoo turned out fantastically and I will definitely go back when I’m ready for more art!
I went in for the first time on Sunday and was immediately met with a calming environment. Everything was neat and clean and the process went so smooth! Blyth is literally the sweetest human you can get work done with and Im so thankful I got tattooed by her! I would absolutely suggest going to Vellum and getting some work done!
I’ve been to Vellum Art Collective 3 times and can’t wait to book more appointments!!! The shop has such welcoming chill atmosphere and some sick decor !!!!! I’ve been working with Jake Z. And I couldn’t be happier !!! His work is absolutely phenomenal! If you’re looking for a place for your next tattoo you can stop ! Just book with Jake, Nick, Dakota, Kaleo or Blyth they all specialize in their own styles and are all incredible artist ! After 20 min of being in there was like a night out having drinks we were laughing so hard ! Not sitting for an 8 hr. Tattoo the time flew by!!!! Chris G.
Nick did an amazing job on my Garden Spider! Ive had work done by him in the past and plan to keep going back. Excellent artist , you wont be disappointed!
Hands down one of the nicest shops Ive been to and Ive been to a LOT. An all around great vibe, clean, stylish and comfortable. Each artist has a separate room providing privacy and comfort during your session.The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming, just like family.
Artist, Nick is awesome to work with. Most definitely recommend getting your tattoo at Vellum. Good pricing rates per hour. Currently work in progress. The artists are willing to work with you such as scheduling and how many you can do per session.
My experience was very good! Blyth did an amazing job and was very good at working with me. This was a great experience as my first time getting a tattoo! I am very happy with my result! 10/10 would recommend!
A very talented crew. My artist Jake came up with an amazing design. He was committed to ensuring the very best execution with the utmost attention to detail. Jake and the crew made me feel at ease. I could see from the others in the studio during my visits that the whole team are amazing artists and total professional in their hygiene routines and in their customers care. I would thoroughly recommend Vellum Art Collective and Jacob Zucco.
Ever since my tattoo artist moved back home I’ve been meticulously looking for a place to get work done and from a recommendation I decided to give it a shot here after looking at their artists’ work! The environment from the moment I stepped in just had a homey feel to it yet it was a tattoo place. I might have some bias since I haven’t been tattooed by the other artists but I would say Jake is such a superior artist alone but having such an array of talent in the shop; there’s nothing someone couldn’t do for you there.He goes over everything with you to make sure you’re extremely happy with every detail and you can see his passion for art and tattoos. The attention to detail with prep work, the patience, the care they all put it to make sure you’re comfortable in any regard; the list could go on! For me what really stood out was the family feel you get with the staff for sure. Not just the respectful and professional attitudes but there’s also a humble feeling you get when another artist pops in to see how the tattoo is coming out and the excitement they get watching the work get done. It’s hard for it to not put a smile on your face! Three days after I got my first one from Jake, I put down a deposit to continue with more work and so far with my sleeve, I’m still blown away with the talent. I guarantee you will not be disappointed by getting tattooed by anyone there whatsoever!
Really cool tattoo parlor in an old bank building. I got a tattoo with Blythe, who was super friendly and did a great job! My friend and I came to get matching tattoos and had a really nice experience.
Ive gotten three tattoos from Vellum Art Collective and I love all of them. The shop is really clean, the artists are friendly, and theyre honest about a tattoos longevity, placement, etc. Shoutout to Nick and Blyth for the sick tatts theyve given me, I love them to pieces! :-)
I have been a client of Jake for about a decade at this point. I have followed him to different shops as he has grown in his career. Jake is not only extremely talented, but an extremely loyal and professional artist. He is respectful of his clients request while also has a great professional opinion and twist on his work. He truly cares about the details and not only of his work, but the experience of being a client in a clean and comfortable space. I have had many friends find Jake organically through his positive feedback in the community as well as referrals who continue to be clients of Jake over and over. Jake is a phenomenal artist and great guy to work with. His shop is immaculately clean and welcoming.
Im working with Jake on a sleeve right now and his work is unreal. His designs are amazing, and his tattooing skills are out of this world. On top of that he is down to earth and easy to work with to get you exactly what you are looking for. The studio itself is amazing and very clean. I highly recommend getting your tattoo done at Vellum Art Collective!
I feel SO incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon Vellum Arts Collective and Blyth in particular as I was looking for a last-minute mothers day tattoo artist. Blyth was quick and responsive to my emails and game to work on a piece written by my 10 year old with my 5 year olds drawing and I was excited to have found her. Walking into the studio I immediately felt so welcomed by Blyth and felt so creative from the decor and vibe of the space (in an old bank building!!!!). Blyths room is covered in whimsical delights and she spent as much time as necessary talking through the design and ideas of placement. During the tattooing itself Blyth was quick and made it as painless as possible and was hilariously chatting away with me to keep me distracted. It was truly a BLAST. At the end of the day I couldnt be more pleased with the entire experience and now my partner (who was with us) wants to go back to get one for themselves. THANK YOU BLYTH!!!!!
I absolutely loved my tattoo experience! Blyth made my experience so comfortable and I left with a tattoo better than I couldve ever anticipated! I can’t wait to be back!
I had a wonderful session with Blyth today! She was informative and attentive to all my needs and wants. Lovely atmosphere and staff! Extremely clean and comfortable environment! Will be going back soon!
Discovered Jacob on social media a while back while looking for a B&W Realism Artist and he quickly became the only artist Id let do my work! Super talented and totally makes the mark every time I go to him with an idea for a piece. He recently opened up his new shop in Chicopee which is absolutely stunning, CLEAN and huge! Super easy going vibe, very welcoming! Thankful to have come across such a talented individual! If your looking for the most talented artist in the area look no further! Thank you Vellum Art Collective!
I got two flash designs by Blyth and I love them! She made me feel so comfortable at the shop… sometimes tattoo places can be intimidating but I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend getting tatted! The shop itself is beautiful and clean. It’s very welcoming and pretty cool that it used to be a bank! Thanks Blyth & team!
Always amazing work done by Dakota. Vellum is such a relaxing, clean and safe environment. 10/10 referred to anyone who ever asks.
This studio is absolutely amazing! First off, every single person in the shop is just an amazing person in general. Everyone is always super nice and always popping in to complement each other’s work and it really just feels like home being there. Jake has been doing a half sleeve for me for the past couple months and it has been simply an awesome experience all together. 8 hours of tattooing feel like they’re gone in a second when getting to interact with everyone there. Blyth, Jake, and Nick are absolutely hilarious and talented and it’s so fun to be in the room with them while being tattooed. Dakota is so wonderfully nice and cheerful, and always happy to just talk about his art when he has time. Kaleo is always working on sick tattoos and is so incredibly kind and I just love watching him work. Honestly, there is so much to say about this place that is just amazing. The artists are great, the whole atmosphere of the shop is stunning, and I look forward to every single one of my sessions. If you’re local and looking for some amazing work, come here. If you’re not local and looking for some amazing work, come here!!
I have been going to Jake for years and each time I sit with him I am blown away by his talent. I am constantly getting compliments on the work hes done. The entire experience from start to finish is seamless and comfortable and hes a great dude to chat with. I would recommend him and his shop, Vellum Art Collective to anyone seeking their first or 100th piece!
Vellum Art Collective is top notch. The artists themselves are even more top notch. I will never go to a different artist/shop. So thankful for this place! Infinite stars!
Absolutely amazing studio! I live an hour away, but me and some friends went there for a flash sale, and our artist Blyth was so kind! Everyone else at the shop was very welcoming and made us feel at home. I would absolutely make the drive again because I know that I’ll have a blast again.
The aesthetic and atmosphere of the shop was fun and artistic. Also- the phone booth is a prime photo op. All the employees were all welcoming and friendly. This was my first time there and it will not be the last.Blyth was professional, kind and fun! She explained her process and put me at ease. Her line work is awesome. Highly recommend Blyth and the shop.
My experience at Vellum Arts has been nothing but the best. The artists are always happy and fun to be around, along with a comfortable atmosphere within the studio. Jake is an excellent artist and I’m excited to continue my sleeve with him.
I came across Blyth’s flash sheet and reached out because I loved so many of the designs, and she was so easy to book with! She was super responsive and flexible with what I wanted and made sure I was happy with everything prior to the appointment. The shop itself is beautifully spooky but very laidback, and all the artists were sweet and welcoming which isn’t always the case at some shops. Blyth was super efficient and made sure I was comfortable (even got me a blanket when I got cold!). I’d go to any of the artists there but I’m so happy with her work.
I’ve gotten a few pieces down by blyth (who is amazing) Vellum has been very professional, clean, inviting and fun!! I’ve always have a good time and would recommend to anyone! All of the artists work looks awesome as well! I plan to return many more times!
Awesome place to get your tattoo. Everyone I ran into in my 3 sessions were friendly and fun to talk to. Quality of the work is outstanding. Couldnt be happier. My piece ended up covering up an older piece I had and you couldnt tell looking at it now. Cant recommend them enough.
Just recently got a little piece done by Jacob. He took his time and did an amazing job. I was very happy with the outcome. He’s an outstanding artist. Peep his artwork on the vellum instagram. The shop is super cool. Staff is great. Love this place. I will be getting more work done.
I’ve been getting tattooed by Jake Zucco at vellum for just over a year. I gotta say, his attention to detail and even the after care aspect of his work is second to none. Every time I go in for a new session, it’s like visiting old friends. It’s just a great atmosphere and a really great bunch of people.
I got my hand tattoo done by Nick and I love it!! He’s so talented and he was super nice and explained everything really well. Will definitely come back for my next tattoo 🙌
Had a great experience, very cool spot with the best kind of people. On point with projected time spent and paced very well in application. Design, placement and care discussions were inspirational and informative. Very happy with my pissed off severed electrical unicorn head. 🦄Would go again.
Blyth is so kind, charismatic, and incredibly attentive to her work and clients. I absolutely love my tattoo from her, and the time spent in her chair was so fun!
This beautiful work was done by Kaleo Luna! After our first session I knew I found my artist! He is beyond talented, kind, and respectful! I travel from the Sourh Shore to come here and have no plan to stop! I highly recommend him to everyone and anyone, especially if youre looking for traditional work done!
Jake Zucco and I started in on my full sleeve tattoo a few years ago and have recently completed it. I waited til my late 40s to get the tattoo of my dreams to be sure it was exactly what I wanted and I am so incredibly happy with it. Jake took the time to research all of the natural oceanic elements we used and placed them to look their best on my arm and shoulder. Each little detail is exquisite and thoughtful. I feel that this artwork really represents me. Every session was professional, relaxed and sanitary. The shop in Chicopee is really beautiful and comfortable. A nice mix of music (which matters when youre sitting for several hours) and plenty of privacy. A very warm and friendly vibe from everyone who works there. Super grateful and highly reccommended.
Felt very at home getting two tattoos here from Blyth, one of the apprentices! The studio is very clean and inviting, Blyth and the other staff that was there were so friendly and made me feel right at home getting my first ankle tattoo. The aftercare kit they provided me was very cute came in handy also!
Just got a cover up on my finger today by BLYTH!!! Awesome experience being there she is an amazing artist totally killed it!! Definitely recommend this place I will be coming back!!!
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have been getting tattooed by Kaleo Luna for a few months now and he and the rest of the Vellum crew always foster a welcoming, safe, and all around great vibe. Kaleo’s skills are outstanding and I look forward to continue working with him more in the future.
Jake did a great job with my tattoo. He listened to my concerns, gave me advice to manage the pain, provided numbing cream to help, and he was extremely personal. I love how he customized my tattoo. His artwork came out better than desired and he showed great patience with my jerky movements throughout the tattoo session. I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested in getting a tattoo.
A bad tattoo and a good tattoo last forever--I wanted a good tattoo and did a ton of research on local shops before settling on Vellum Art Collective and I am very glad I did. Jake and the crew are easily the best in the north east.
Jake and the staff were all super nice. They responded quickly to my emails with any questions I had. The place itself was also very private yet homey. I’ve had multiple pieces done by Jake and can’t stop going back for more. His realism skills are crazy awesome!
I got my first tattoo from Blyth and I love it! The space is comfortable, clean, and the music is great.
I had the best first tattoo experience here! everyone was super nice and awesome! Blyth, who did my tattoo, did an amazing job! I love it so so much! I’m already planning for my next tattoo:)
Jake is extremely professional and easy to work with. He is also an amazing artist. I have 2 pieces from him now and would trust him to complete any tattoo!!
I have been to several Tattoo shops and this is by far the best one! The shop itself is so nice and I cant say enough about the people! Dakoda and everyone one else at the shop are so nice and welcoming. I would recommend Vellum Art Collective to everyone and anyone! Cant wait to go back!
The vibes in this space are immaculate! Blyth and Jake are both super nice and welcoming. Blyth’s work is so clean, and you can tell she has a passion for the work. Can’t wait to go back!
Vellum art is a very warm welcoming shop. And the separate private rooms make it much more comfortable getting a tattoo. I’ve been getting my sleeve done by Jake for close to a year now and can only speak highly of him. He’s very detail oriented and professional. I can trust his recommendations and am always amazed how the tattoo turns out in the end.I highly recommend giving him and his shop a chance for your next tattoo.
First ever full sleeve done here. Worked with Jake on this piece for at least 12 sessions and every time hes giving me something timeless to take home with me. This is where you get quality work done. I literally fly out from LA to continue working with him despite moving here a couple years ago.
Well first of all, Jake Is amazing! The girl that works with him (I forget her name) is pretty & super awesome..absolutely loved her!! The shop is super dope looking. Not loud or packed. They make you feel homely which is great because Im not a people person. He went above and beyond for what I wanted...he was very honest and upfront about what I wanted but I let him do his thing & it came out phenomenal. He listens & is really patient with my annoying questions over & over and takes his time & doesnt rush. I looked at so many peoples work in Western Ma & hands down, his work stuck out the most! Not trying to brag but I needed him desperately for my piece & he was their with the quickness!!! Super thankful & appreciative for it. Hes definitely someone Ill continue to go back to no doubt about that. Just look at his work, IM TELLING YOU ..DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS GUY...HES THE BEST & I STAND ON THAT 100% cant say it enough ...thank you so much !!!
Kaleo was amazing. After waiting almost a year to get a tattoo due to a horrible experience at a local shop, I was so terrified to have to get a coverup. I drove an hour and a half to Vellum after finding Kaleo on Instagram. I reached out to multiple artists to discuss my coverup and Kaleo was the most responsive and helpful. I was so scared because the last tattoo I got was by someone so extremely heavy-handed it genuinely made me never want to get a tattoo again. Kaleo was patient, asked how I was multiple times, and so light-handed with amazing results. I finally feel like I can go back to getting artwork again. I booked while I was there for my next appointment. This shop has talented, professional artists and are worth checking out 100%.
Vellum Art Collective is a beautiful space, and unlike most tattoo shops, there are separate private rooms for each artist. This is especially comforting for those who don’t like to be exposed to an entire shop of people during the process. I’ve been in many tattoo shops where I’ve felt uncomfortable getting tattooed in a large room of tables and small work stations. The space is newly renovated, extremely clean, and very comfortable feeling. Jake is a very kind artist, who does beautiful realistic tattoos and who takes his skill very seriously to give you the best art possible. His work is extremely consistent, you will never see a bad piece from him.
I’d highly recommend getting a tattoo here. Kaleo took care of me, we met first to discuss the idea of my tattoo as it would be a cover up for an old one that was a hard job to cover. We spent about a month discussing ideas, and when the appointment came along he showed me his idea which was something was beyond what I expected and was awesome. His co workers were also giving suggestions and the environment was cooperative and a good vibe. He’s a very respectful artist and a good person to work with and the experience was great. I’m looking forward to my follow up appointment and would recommend Vellum to anyone looking for quality work with good people!
I got a fun flash from apprentice Blyth, already have another appointment set. Warm environment with earth tones and plants throughout. TV on in the background and open concept space (esp for the small building) was welcoming and chill. 10/10 would recommend
I am 3 full day sessions in on my sleeve with Jake and he is doing a phenomenal job! I went to Jake with a very basic idea and what he is doing far exceeds my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend him!
Charming and welcoming shop. Our artist Blyth was incredible! Beautiful work and very talented.
Loved my artist Blythe and I loved the decor and the music and EVERYTHING!! Very clean and my artist took care to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe while being tattooed my first time ever :) great experience overall
The shop is beautiful and inviting! Ive gotten 4 small pieces done by blyth, shes wonderful. Everyone is so nice and talented, I cant wait to get my next tattoo!
I’ve had several tattoos done at various tattoo shops over the years from North Jersey to Mass. and by far my best experience has been at Vellum. Jake is an amazing artist. As a client I really appreciate his attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism. His work is amazing and I know every time I go in for a session it’s going to be a great experience. I would definitely recommend checking out Vellum and seeing Jake.
I had the most amazing experience getting tattooed by Blyth a couple weeks ago. I got some flash and I adore how they all turned out. Blyth was a pleasure to spend a couple hours with and I will definitely be getting more of her flash in the future!
Got tattooed by kaleo when he was back in California, and all I can say is he is quite literally the best! I’ve had nothing but great experiences with him. Super friendly and professional! Glad I met him and was able to acquire the collection of art I have on my body forever.
This shop is absolutely amazing! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and very talented! My first tattoo there was with kaleo he’s so chill and of course very talented! Hes now my go to neo trad artist I’m so excited for my next tattoo with him! Definitely go swing by the shop and meet everyone! 10/10
Kaleo was wonderful! He was welcoming and easy to make conversation with during my session, offering breaks and making me feel super comfortable. You can tell how passionate he is about his work and it really shows! Can’t recommend him enough
Great studio. I got my first and second tattoo done by Kaleo. He is a great artist and his work shows it. He brings a great energy to the tattoo session and really helped me feel comfortable! As soon as I finished my first session with Kaleo I instantly booked another.
Wowzers. Kaleo Luna is incredibly talented, personable, and professional. He was very understanding when I reached out in advance of my appointment to reschedule when something came up, and he worked with me to bring a vision to life from a few different ideas. My piece (a large traditional-inspired ship on my thigh) took four hours and we took a few breaks throughout. I was offered water and granola bars and had great conversations with the apprentice that was observing Kaleos technique. The shop was clean and had lots of cool art to look at while being tattooed. Now that its fully healed, Im even more impressed by the linework, color, and shading. Ive gotten many compliments on this new piece and already have so many ideas for my next tattoo with Kaleo! If youre looking for a trustworthy, talented artist, this is the spot for you. His work speaks for itself.
Great time getting my first tattoo! I got a realistic “damaged wing” tattoo on my forearm from Jake Zucco. By the time I was done, my arm was hurting from the needle, and my face was hurting from all the laughter. Everyone is so welcoming and joyful! I can’t wait to be back to get my second wing tattoo on my other forearm!
Blyth was amazing, took the time to review exactly what the tattoo would look like, adjusted and made suggestions. Could not be happier with her or the tattoo.
I’ve had some of the best tattoo experiences ever with Kaleo. He is super helpful when it comes to taking an idea and putting his creative spin on it. I’ve already gotten a few pieces from Kaleo and will definitely be back!
Such a wonderful studio ! talented and experienced artists. a super clean and friendly environment. always a great time and i will keep coming back !(:
Really good environment and the people there are friendly and welcoming. I went for my first tattoo and I loved it and I can’t wait to go back for more.
Beautiful shop with a welcoming atmosphere. Always had a great experience being tattooed by Jake. If you have the chance to get work done by either of the artists currently there, do so by all means
Definitely a cool space! Blyth was so easy to talk to, I’m obsessed with my new piece! Will be back for more!
Absolutely in love with this piece by Jake. Everyone there was really friendly and made it a very comfortable experience. Will definitely be returning soon!!
Jake is the best tattoo artist in western ma hands down
Dakoda is AMAZING!!!! I’ve been going to him for over a year and i’m never disappointed! Everyone at the shop is so awesome and so welcoming! I cannot rave enough about Dakoda AND everyone at vellum!! such a great environment with amazing people!
Great experience! Great work, laid back atmosphere, no judgments or awkwardness. Everyone there clearly was having fun and loved what they do. Ill be back again!
Kaleo. Luna. This guy is the chillest tattoo artist I’ve ever worked with. If you want punched in American Traditional tats or whatever else book with Kaleo. I will being going back.
I’ve spent many hours in this shop and can’t speak highly enough, clean fun environment, all the artists are so supportive of each other makes for a great experience the stoke is high
Friendly, inclusive, clean, and reasonably priced for some dope artwork 💯
Super fun, super professional, had a great experience with Blyth! Would recommend 100%
All of the artists are very talented here, great customer service skills, and the shop looks super cool!
I can not recommend this shop enough. Ive been getting work done by jake and nick for the last 10 years and every time they knock it out of the park
Jake is the absolute best. Total professional in every way and super accommodating
Such a cool setting, and Jake is a really talented artist!
Great atmosphere in the shop Great service. Super professional and skilled artists that made the process of getting tattoo really easy
Excellent work in a quiet, professional shop.
Unprofessional shop, not impressive work.
The pears are delicious 🍐
Disappointing
This was my first time getting a tattoo at Vellum. Blyth was my tattoo artist for a small piece on my arm. Im extremely satisfied with my experience (read below) and will be back!Blyth is a deeply talented artist. She was also very patient, working with me on revisions and placement until I was 100% happy with the design she created based on my (originally very rough) idea. And it is perfect -- she brought what I was imagining to life. Blyth is incredibly knowledgable about all things prep, tattooing, and healing. She is deliberate and intentional about her work, which shows in the finished product.The studio is extremely cool -- I loved the decor in the waiting room, and Blyths studio in particular is honestly just amazing. Ill be back for sure!
Great atmosphere and great people ! Blyth was so kind and welcoming! VERY clean as well.The appointment went by so fast because it felt like i was catching up with a friend.I had a great experience and I would recommend over and over !
I loved the studio, how warm, close and incredible they make you feel is invaluable. I got a tattoo with Blyth, I can only mention that it was spectacular and exceptional. Im looking forward to coming back for its art, vibe and ink =)
