First tattoo! Treated myself for my 31st birthday. Helena was a dream! So sweet and easy to connect with, such a warm presence. She made this experience so enjoyable. My first words after seeing the final product were “I feel like this was always supposed to be here!” A true artist and a delightful person! 10/10
Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with! It was my first time visiting this shop. The shop was bubbling with positive energy, especially on a busy day for shops being Friday the 13th. Signing in for an appointment is a smooth and easy process. Jimmy was able to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and executed an excellent job. The space is clean, offers snacks and water and filled with fabulous art to look at while you wait. Kuddos to y’all! 🫶🏼
Mike went above and beyond to make sure my tattoo design was perfect. From start to finish, he was kind, patient and made me feel very relaxed while getting my tattoo. Seaport Tattoo is a great spot to get something that will be permanently on your body!
My best friend and I were a walk in appt this past Saturday to get our first matching tattoo. They were so friendly, accommodating, and the shop was really cool. Helena was our artist and she was the best! She was super, knowledgeable, fun and had some great insight and advice helping us with this process. She made us feel super comfortable as first timers and made the whole experience so memorable. We will definitely be back to see her for our next tattoos! Highly recommend her and Seaport Tattoo if you’re looking for a shop!
Came in to look at some flashes and was able to get tattooed the same day. Great experience, Mike has some awesome art and he does an excellent job. Very nice guy and keeps you relaxed the whole time. I highly recommend this high quality shop with high quality people! Definitely coming back for more!
Mike Ouellette is awesome! He took me and 3 friends who all wanted matching tattoos and did EXACTLY what we asked for even tho we were all super indecisive at first. He was patient and offered his insight but also assured us that he wanted to make sure we were comfortable with the placements/sizing before starting. Highly recommend him and this shop!
You know what’s even better than being absolutely in love with your new tattoo? When the artist was equally as stoked about it. Mike Ouellette’s work has been on my mind, so glad I finally got to Seaport Tattoo Company today. The shop is gorgeous, clean, staff were super friendly and Mike was beyond phenomenal. I could type a small novel about how great my experience was and how glad I am to have found a shop/artist to stick with that I trust 100%. Can’t wait to go back. If you’re here reading reviews and are on the fence- do yourself a favor…get off Google and book the appointment. You won’t be disappointed!!
Seaport Tattoo is incredibly professional, clean, inviting, and reasonable in pricing. There is an artist with a style for everyone!I would HIGHLY recommend Mark for any fine line, realism, and highly detailed pieces. His work is exceptional and I will be going back to him in the future after working with him many times.Thanks and keep it up Seaport Tattoo!
Helena has done all the tattoos I have and I leave happy every time. The environment here is amazing. I will continue to come back for all my tattoos!!
I had such a great time!!! I got my upper lobes and helix pierced by Maya. She was so sweet and made me so comfortable. I’ve wanted to get these since I was a teenager and I couldn’t be happier. Maya explained every step of the step of the process, she showed me all different types of jewelry and different spots to see where I would like them best. My helix didn’t hurt at all. The tattoo shop is massive and so bright! I was greeted right away and offered a drink and snacks. I can’t wait to get my next ear piercing. Thank you Maya!!!
My best friend and I did a walk in for matching tattoos and Helena was our artist! She was super kind and patient and truly made our whole experience! We plan on coming back to the shop and getting more work done by Helena! Couldn’t recommend this place and her enough!
Got my first professional tattoo here from Mike and I had a great experience! The shop is cozy and clean and I felt very comfortable :) Parking was slightly annoying but that comes with the territory. Definitely going back for more ink!
Maya did an excellent job on my piercings! I am so happy with the placement, and Maya was very intentional about making sure I was comfortable and knew what was happening the whole time. Would highly recommend going here for a piercing. Thank you, Maya!
Definitely the best Tattoo experience Ive had. The studio was very hygienic and the staff was very courteous. Mike was amazing and really helpful, loved his work. Loved the overall experience!
The location is convenient. Its been many years since I got my tattoo here (2017) and Im in the process of getting it lasered off now... a small tattoo with delicate line work that totally blew out as it aged without weight gain or loss, just really aggressive needling. Photo is original when tattood, how it aged and progress a year and half in of lasering.
Called aug 3 for a walk in, the lady I talked to was very kind and told me to come in at 5. Got a metallica/kill em all tattoo done by Mike. He was very creative and threw out ideas of how to make the tattoo cool and unique. Im very happy with my tattoo, still waiting for it to heal. Awesome line work and shading.great price. Will definitely be back for more tats when Im in the area again. Thank you guys! 🤘🤘
Maya is great for piercings! My best friend, partner and I all wanted to go in for different piercings, so I set up several appointments through the website. Maya was really thorough at walking us through the process, from helping us pick jewelry to explaining the aftercare. Maya was also just super friendly in general and even offered drinks and snacks while we were there, great customer service experience over all. I absolutely plan to come back for more piercings later!
I trust this place so much. The work is incredible. I already have 3 tattos done by Mike Ouellette. I recommend this place to everyone 👌
Helena is a fantastic artist that I love working with. She has done all my tattoos and I have never been disappointed. Will continue to come back for more in the future!
Maya is an amazing artist and so easy to work with! Answered all of my questions, was very knowledgeable, provided a clean and calm environment. I was very satisfied with my experience getting my nostril pierced and the results!
Called for a walk-in and was not disappointed. I got a coverup for some sticknpokes I did years ago. Reggie worked with me on my design for the cover up. He hand drew the tattoo to my exact liking. Wonderful staff all around. Thank you!
Everyone here was super accommodating. My artist Mike took my vision and did nothing but improve upon it. If your looking for a tattoo this is the place to go!
Recently got work done by Helena and couldn’t be more stoked about it. She was honest about my initial design and made suggestions that would age better over time, offered breaks and was patient, and just overall good vibes in the shop. I’ve never been so relaxed while getting tatted and knew I was in good hands.
If I could give Mike (Ouellette) 10 stars I would. I am visiting Boston from Portland, OR, and Mike gave me EXACTLY what I wanted! He was so kind, respectful, and really puts his heart in tattooing. Great guy and I love my tattoo!!! DEFINITEY recommend going to him.
We came in for matching tattoos, and Helena was amazing -- very friendly and accommodating! We are only visiting Boston for the weekend but might have to come back soon so we can get our next tattoo here!!
Im from out of state & came to boston on my birthday and wanted a tattoo on a whim. originally was just trying to find a spot with a decent artist that can fit me in their schedule & i thankfully came across this shop Helena was amazing from the hospitality and kindness as well as her passion and talent 10000/10 will definitely be going back
Piercer was very professional and nice but you could tell she was a little impatient -- when she put her markings of where the piercing would go, I mentioned that it wasnt where I had expected but she didnt offer to remark them. I prefer piercing experiences where the piercer is super open and we have a back-and-forth of discussing placement - I never want to feel bad or like Im inconveniencing someone when Im making a decision about a change to my body.Otherwise, the shop was super nice and everything was very clean. I would still recommend it -- but just be prepared and know exactly what you want.
They have snacks and drinks in the front while your waiting. They also have a pool table that your allowed to play. The piercing itself took less than a minute. Overall an amazing experience
Working with Mike was awesome! Very professional, considerate, and creative. Clean, organized facility. Will definitely go back and work with them again!
I got a walk in tattoo done with Mike O . I have nothing but good things to say as he was super helpful with design / placement but he is also super talented artist . And he is great post tat with helpful advice and very responsive with any post questions . 5 stars no doubt
I got a piercing here- I have too many to count and this is the best place i’ve been. Maya took the time to look at my other piercings that were irritated and helped me fix them!
I’ve had multiple tattoos and even a piercing done here and it was all around a great experience. Kind people and great vibes.
Reggie was super kind and helpful. His line work was beautiful. he made this experience so much better and we can’t thank him enough. don’t listen to the bad reviews. if you have the money and the time, come visit!
Great hospitality and atmosphere! Very clean and sanitary. Reggie was very nice easy to talk to and did great work! Would highly recommend him and the shop and will definitely be back!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Mike was more than accommodating, super respectful, personable and his work is awesome! If I didn’t live all the way across the country, I’d definitely come back for more!
Mike did an amazing job. I will be back for sure.
I have consistently gone here for all my piercings and if I had more tattoos, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Maya is extremely professional, kind, and informative. I always feel like I get the deluxe experience. Helena at the front desk is lovely. Jimmy runs a tight shop. I always recommend this place to people when they are looking to get work done. The skills of the tattoo artists are some of the best in the city.
I wanted a great black and gray photorealism tattoo for my kids and I found mark. I knew tattooing hands can be tricky and mark blew it out of the park. Im blown away with the results of this tattoo. the staff was nice. the shop was clean and well maintained. overall best shop iv ever been in. Id recommend this place and mark to anyone that looking for an amazing tattoo!
A little on the pricey side but if your looking for a quality tat that you will be happy with then its very much worth it. Mark dod my tat and he made my idea come to life.
It was an amazing experience with a great piercer. Super professional and very kind and welcoming! Would definitely reccomend
My son actually found Seaport Tattoo online and I took him for his first tattoo. He had Stef and I couldn’t have been happier. She was so kind and helped me to get through it lol and Oh my son too!! Lol He recently turned 18 and I wanted to make sure he didn’t regret what he got. Honestly everyone in the tattoo parlor was so friendly and we felt at home to be honest. Not to mention his tatt came out perfect. I made my appointment that day to see Mike the following week. I have about 8 tattoos and the one Mike did for me is on a whole different level. I couldn’t be any happier. Not to mention he has a great personality also and he did an amazing job and he also was great at keeping my mind off the pain, cuz I am a total wimp. I wish I knew about this place years ago!! It’s not like any of the other places I have been to, not by a long shot!! If you really care about how your tatt comes out then Seaport Tattoo is where you want to go. They even have a pool table table not that I had a chance to play cuz Mike and Stef were both right on schedule.
Love the staff so much! Great energy and vibes! Amazing artists and the work always comes out so good!
Best experience I have ever had at a tattoo/piercing parlor. I felt so comfortable and taken care of. Maya was so awesome and I absolutely am in love with my new belly button piercing.
Mike was wonderful. Very kind and detailed. I love my tattoo.
Got some work done at Seaport and had a really rad time today. Mike O is really cool to work with and has done a bunch of great work on me. He has a passion for tattooing and extensive knowledge on all things American Traditional. He paints some rad flash and is always down to work with you on unique original ideas. Today he did a really dope cover up piece and it came out great this is the second piece he has done for me that is a cover up and Im stoked on them both. I will definitely be visiting Mike again for more!
Mike is the man! Beyond talented at what he does would recommend 10/10!
Had an overall great experience getting my newest tattoo here. Worked with Reggie who was very patient and honestly did a great job turning my idea into exactly what I wanted, giving me very honest feedback on what he would recommend and what not. Also got good tips for after care and their studio‘s balm to try for free. Will definitely go again for the other side
Helena did so amazing with my kittens paw print tattoo!! By far one of my favorite pieces
Had a great experience today at seaport tattoo with Mike. Mike is awesome and has done a bunch of really awesome work on me, he is friendly his work space is always clean and he’s always down to work with me to come up with unique ideas that fit my individual style. I will absolutely be coming back to see Mike and anyone looking for dope traditional style tattoos should hit up the shop and ask for Mike
I couldnt be happier with my tattoo from Mike. From the start, he made me feel comfortable and gave me the freedom to choose any design elements. Mike made sure the tattoo was perfect and his workstation was extremely clean. The pricing is reasonable for the size of the tatoo and he has offered a free touch up if I need it. Great artist and great shop!
This is a top notch shop. I have been getting tattooed for 30 years. I have leg, chest, back tatoos and am sleeved on the other arm so I speak from a well educated position. Jimmy Johnson was my artist and we just clicked. I gave him a small amount of direction and trusted his discretion. To me, this is the best way. He is the artist. I just have a statement I want to make. He fulfilled the task well. I was hungry when I got there and asked him if he wanted something to eat. I usually do this with anyone working on me or for me. At other shops, when the invitation is given to the artist they go around and take orders from everyone in the shop so as to take advantage of my generosity. The exact opposite happened here. Jimmy ordered lunch for me, him and a guy that was at one time his apprentice. Well this time Jimmy bought lunch and it wasnt some crappy Burger King either. I also had a headache so Jimmy provided ibuprophen and water. Later, he ordered coffee from Dunkin Donuts and offered to buy that for me too. The hospitality in this shop is unmatched, it is simply without parallel in the tattoo world. I posted a picture of the work so you can judge for yourself. I saw several others finished work while I was there and every bit of it was Top Notch.
Great service and super easy piercing by Maya!! Really enjoyed this experience
Awesome shop. Thanks Reggie for making time to get my wife and I some awesome little tattoos on our 4th Anniversary! Only in town for a couple days, just walking in and got excellent service. Thanks everyone!
This is one of the nicest, friendliest and professional shops Ive been to. I know about the shop because Mike Oulette (one of the artists) had done tattoos for me at his previous shop. I love working with him because he is kind, patient and collaborative. He makes everyone feel comfortable, and has such a gentlehand my tattoos he has done for me always heal amazing. I have referred many folks to him and they always have an amazing experience. Seaport Tattoo is a great shop, but Mike is one of the best tattoo artists Ive ever worked with. Yall should stop by and check out his work. Pictured is my most recent tattoo which is my 4th tattoo from Mike and 2nd tattoo Ive gotten at Seaport Tattoo.
I absolutely LOVE this shop!! From my main man Jimmy who is INCREDIBLY talented.. to the cool, respectful front desk crew and the amazing piercer. I love coming here and recommend it to everyone. I’ve even carried Jimmy’s business card to save myself from answering the question of “where you get your tattoos done?!” 😂 They are amazing. Check ‘em out, you won’t be disappointed!
One of the artists said he would be happy to work with me. I put down a $250 deposit and then he decided he didnt want to work with me.
Came to Boston for a school trip, wanted a tattoo to commemorate the experience. Reggie did my tattoo, and Ive been nothing but pleased with it.All of the staff there were incredibly kind, and shared many of their own stories with me and my friend. Thank you!
My nephew and I would highly recommend Mike Ouellette. He was a true professional--kind and respectful. He took his time with us and we are very happy with the results. Thank you, Mike!
Im very happy with my Ink. Six and counting ! Looking forward for more.
Best Shop in Boston! If you’re anywhere near Seaport, this is your spot. And if you’re not, get here! I had Reggie do 5 different pieces in a sitting & they all came on bangah!!! Dope art. Awesome experience. Would recommend you get to Seaport Tattoo Company ASAP for your next work! Don’t forget to ask for Reggie!
What a fantastic experience!!! Got my first tattoo today and the entire process at Seaport Tattoo was just incredible. Mike is awesome, and as he started the inking process, it just got me more and more hype. The design is flawless!!! I was a little nervous before starting but Mike was very assuring and we had an awesome conversation during the process! I would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon here for my next tattoo. Cheers once again Mike!!!!!!!
Jimmy was incredible from start to finish for my latest tattoo. The shop is modern, clean, and welcoming and the team is awesome. I gave him an abstract idea of what I wanted and we worked together to finalize the design - I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it came out! 2.5 hours of laughs, careful work, and professional design later, I have a new piece of art I am obsessed with. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for future tattoos!
Jimmy Johnson did a coverup on me. I felt he was great to work with and took pride in making sure my tattoo looked and fit properly. The shop is very clean, open/spacious and updated.
Butchered my back & am looking at removal or cover up options minutes after leaving. Worst tattoo I’ve ever gottenArtist proceeded to blame me and said it was my fault for moving, which is a lie obviously (mind you I have two very big pieces that are great on my body and am no stranger to tattoos). No remorse or pride in his work & then also proceeded to say I was going about this “femininely” by posting a review. A McDonald’s drive through worker requires more professionalism than this man and do not understand how he was hired.
Exceptional. Jimmy Johnson is a master tatoo artist and professional. He took my spark of a vision and created a masterpiece. He has a clear understanding of the importance / significance of the tatoo experience for a client...great convo (and knew when time to focus), great music, and hospitality. The studio was cool, clean...great energy. He completed a very complex piece (IMO) with perfection, care, and determination. I completely recommend this five star company (Jimmy, Helena...thank you). I hope they share my tatoo...but I will leave it to their discretion. Magnificent.
Mike was amazing! Came in from out of town for two walk-in small tats on a Sunday. Everyone was so kind. Mike was patient and helped draw up what we wanted.
Piercing Appointment:Amazing shop!!! Friendly staff super comfortable clean environment! Overall GREAT experience!! Already booked future appointments!!!!Update: Tattoo AppointmentAMAZING!!!!!!!Outstanding Experience!!! Highly recommend!!! I recently received an addition to an existing tattoo with mind blowing results!! Jimmy Johnson is an exceptionally talented tattoo artist!!! Struggling to find the perfect example resulted in providing just a few pictures (mainly what I didn’t like) yet Jimmy so effortlessly read my mind bringing my vision to life and created an unbelievable custom masterpiece better then I could have ever hoped for!!!! Words cannot express my gratitude! I’m literally obsessed with my Yellow Brick Road Tattoo!!!! Can’t wait for next ink therapy session!!!!
Mike was above and beyond with us being walk-ins from out of town. Took his time with our pieces and was beyond professional and chill af. Definitely coming back to Boston for some of his badass traditional coloring!🤘👹😈
Amazing people kind very helpful,clean and made us feel. Veey satisfied going back next week
Came in for a jewelry change and Maya made it quick and painless.
My friend made an appointment to change a piercing ring and I was just going to be there for support but Leah was so warm, supportive and fun when she greeted us that I decided to get my 3rd Earring holes done too. We went in one at a time and Francis was awesome. He made you feel like his new best friend and made sure you knew what he was doing with each step for the piercing. Some tattoo shops/ piercing parlors can be intimidating but everyone here was simply awesome. I’d absolutely go back when I decide what I want to do next.
Two of my friends and I came in for a walk in. Me and one friend were told the wait for tattoos was about three hours and agreed to it. Other friend got a piercing and was able to be helped immediately Francis was very funny and professional and did a great job on her conch.Got notified an hour in advance for our walk-in time with a text from an actual employee (not an automated system) who was very responsive! Owner Jimmy was fast and very professional with our tattoos. He gave us lots of sizes to pick from and made sure we were comfortable. They also gave us a sample of their aftercare lotion!All around had a fantastic experience for a very reasonable price given the quality and professionalism. I would highly recommend Seaport to anyone looking for piercings or tattoos!!! I will never be going anywhere else in the Boston area!Note: if you want to get a walk in tattoo that day I’d recommending heading in right after opening so you’re at the top of the list. :)
I did my first tattoo yesterday afternoon with Bruno - Great artist who made the process super easy & did an overall great job on the tattoo in general.I would highly recommend & the entire shop as a whole was very professional!They will give you text message updates as your appointment gets closer.Also- Bruno did a great job explaining the healing process & what to expect until the tattoo has completely healed! Something I greatly appreciated, as I have little to no knowledge about tattoos!
I got my tragus pierced with Francis today, hes awesome! The piercing went so smoothly and Im so happy with how it turned out. He calmed me down and was super sweet and easy to talk to. Definitely go to him if you want any piercings done!!
Charged me $200 for a tattoo no bigger than a business card (it was literally a name) I’ve never in my life been charged so much for something so small. Not sure if they robbed me cause I was black or cause I was a tourist but either way, it was a shady thing to do. I paid it of course and was still very sweet and nice but it was honestly so disrespectful. And they didn’t bother discussing after care, making sure I had products I may have needed, literally nothing was discussed.
This artist goes on Facebook marketplace randomly telling people he will tattoo them for a MacBook or iPad or iPhone that they are selling 😆.Yup , he really thinks somebody in the world would sell their sealed expensive apple item for a spontaneous tattoo from him.When confronted about how ludicrous of an offer that is he gets offended and asks to fight and calls you names. Ironically enough r.e.a.l stands for …. “respect everyday”.I would steer clear of getting inked by Mr. Reggie
I got tattooed by Jimmy and had a nose piercing cleaned/fixed by Francis...had an amazing experience both times! The shop is super clean and everyone is extremely nice and professional. My tattoo healed perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. I forgot my wallet when getting my piercing fixed, and Francis super graciously allowed me to come back and pay for it. I was so embarrassed but he put me at ease and was really nice about it. Will definitely be coming back for any and all future piercing/tattoo needs! Highly recommend for anyone from first timers to those with experience.
I got a sternum tattoo from Mike Graciale and he did an amazing job. The staff were so kind and the place looks very clean. Mike sought out my opinion every step of the way and was respectful of me the entire time. I love the way it came out. As a young woman getting tattooed in a semi-intimate area I felt very safe. I would definitely feel comfortable coming back for another tattoo.
I couldnt recommend working with Mike and Seaport Tattoo more. He has done my full arm over a series of about 5 sessions. Not only is his work incredible, but he creates a fun and relaxed environment that puts you at ease. Great tattoos and a great guy!
I was in town for work and my helix piercing came out and I lost it. I didn’t have a replacement earring and I didn’t want it to close up, so I desperately tried to find a place nearby. Kallie was so amazing! Not only did she squeeze me in between her appointments, but she was extremely nice and talked through the whole process (since there was a chance my piercing could’ve closed up). She was very gentle even though my ear was super swollen and gave great advice for how to help with the swelling. I may not be a local but I 100% recommend Kallie for any piercings!! She takes all the stress out of the situation.
After the amazing service I received from Seaport, I felt somewhat obligated to leave this review. The customer service is amazing. The people here are very friendly and helpful. The environment is very spacious, clean, and appropriate. Francis did a great job of informing me of the risk factors and gave detailed directions to help me maintain my piercing. There is truly nothing bad I can say about this establishment and it’s service.
Got my first tattoo here by Clay. A great experience overall. Clean, nice place with welcoming people. Would recommend.
I had my tattoo appointment with Mike Graciale. He was super friendly and was extremely comfortable to be around. The woman that Mike drew up for me was breath taking. Great atmosphere. Amazing artwork that I am proud to wear. Service that goes above and beyond any other shop Ive been to. Cant wait for my next piece from Mike!
Tattood by Reggie and had a great experience. Definitely coming back
I had my septum pierced by Kallie who is in her apprenticeship! She was so amazing I had to come write a review. Super sweet, well trained, knowledgeable, and skilled. If you’re thinking about having her do a piercing for you go for it! I will be coming back to her in the future for more 😊 my septum ring is placed and sized perfectly.
I had my septum pierced by Francis on June 19. Ive wanted a septum piercing for forever, but I was still anxious to get it since of course it would hurt. Francis was so kind and nice, he relieved the majority of my anxiety. He was quick and professional and nice, and did a top notch job. Im for sure getting all my future piercings done by him.
I cant say enough great things about my experience with Mike. He was professional, friendly and we had great conversations. The work he did for me was phenomenal. I provided Mike exactly what I wanted, it wasnt an easy request, it took over 3 hrs. The end result was outstanding. I highly recommend Mike and Seaport. Great place and great artist. Thank you Mike
Went in for my first tattoo with my two other friends. The staff was super accommodating and made our experience one for the books. The venue is very clean and pleasing to the eye. Shoutout to Jimmy for calming us down and doing a beautiful job on our tattoos. Id 100% recommend coming here!
I went here after work one day for my first tattoo and was SO impressed!! I am not one to write reviews, but my experience here was a 10 out of 5. I was concerned about going somewhere that I did not have a personal reference from, but my experience was better than I could have asked for. The staff was extemely friendly, and immediately made me feel comfortable being there. Mike Graciale was the tattoo artist, who was AWESOME and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. He provided recommendations to me to ensure my new Lobster would stay looking fresh. Overall amazing customer service and quality. DEFINITELY recommend going here!!!!
Just went to this shop and was tattooed by Mike, who did an amazing job tattooing both my friend and I. He was very friendly and super professional. The shop is very clean and all the artists are very welcoming. This was our first time coming here and will definitely be coming back for more
They did a good job but the guy made me feel very unwelcomed and he was very impatient with me. I’m used to feeling comfortable at tattoo places and having really awesome artists that are super kind but I’ll never be going back because not only was the guy super grumpy, it was way overpriced!! Especially for the small tattoos I got! Their starting price is $100 and it’s pretty ridiculous. I got a bigger and better tattoo for way less at another place so I’m kinda disappointed.
Got a tattoo done by Mike the other day and not only did he do a fantastic job, but he actually kept a conversation going with me for the entire 4.5 hour session — normally I end up scrolling through my phone during tattoos to keep myself distracted, but I didn’t have to at all during the appointment. Mike is an amazing artist, and he is very hygienic and clean, which is so important. The tattoo shop itself is also the coolest shop I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot! The lobby is full of art, it has a pool table, and really cool t-shirt designs. The cool dude at the front desk offered me food/drinks several times, even during the appointment, which is super helpful when you’ve been getting tattooed for several hours and your blood sugar is getting low! I definitely plan on coming back to Mike for more tattoos in the future.
Me and a couple of friends made an appointment to get tattoos for St. Patricks day this past weekend and we were not disappointed at all! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we had a great experience! Everyone is very professional and so welcoming. Jimmy Johnson did my tattoo (pair of Red Sox on my left arm) and of course its perfect. We are from Texas and we will definitely be back up for some more ink! Thank you guys ❤🍀
I went to Seaport Tattoo two years ago for the first time, and got a relatively small black and red tattoo (3x2). At the time, the receptionist said they had only been open a few months and were aiming to be a premier tattoo location in Boston - I immediately worried about how much it was going to run me, but it was very reasonably priced. Because I had such a nice experience two years ago, I went back for my new tattoo, and I was just as happy with the environment and product. For the second time, I didnt feel like I was being taken for a ride price-wise, and they made the environment very welcoming; everyone is very friendly, they provide water/soda and snacks if youre waiting and theres a pool table in the waiting area.Id recommend STC to anyone.
Great service! Got a nose ring in Hawaii and it came out. I couldn’t put it back in myself so I googled and seen the 5 star reviews and I’m glad I made the right choice. It was like the same professional service I received in Hawaii. Nice clean, safe environment and was very educational. Not only I recommend but will definitely go back to get my other nostril pierced or maybe change my nose ring to a hoop next time.
I was recently tattooed by Mike and had an above and beyond experience! Mike was professional, friendly, and made me feel really comfortable. The tattoo shop is clean and the staff is really welcoming! Im already looking forward to going back for my next tattoo.
I got my first tattoo with Bruno today and it was honestly the best experience I could have hoped for. He made sure everything ok and I was comfortable before he started and he was really kind and funny. My tattoo looks great and I’m super happy with it!
Josh and Francis were absolutely amazing. Super nice and helpful; My friend got a piercing and I got a tattoo and with both people they gave us tips for places to go and had high quality aftercare lotion. Highly recommend
My mom and I recently got piercings done by Francis about a month ago , and we haven’t yet experienced any infections, or rejections. Therefore our experience was great! H Francis is a really great piercer who will work with you to achieve exactly what you want!
10/10! Nicest tattoo shop I’ve ever been too; me and my brother got tattoos here from Reggie and he was incredible talented! Check his Instagram @r.e.a.l_ink
Seaport Tattoo Company has dope artist and a family like environment. Jimmy has done all four of my tats, and the all phenomenal. Jimmy works hard to make sure you like what your getting and will give you his opinion on the best way to go about it, he has not steered me wrong. I will continue to go there hopefully to get all my tats done by jimmy!!!!!!
Seaport tattoo is a very professional shop, there’s always someone at the front desk so your never standing there feeling ignored. Jimmy is tattooing my sleeve and I couldn’t be happier with the work he’s done. He’s a talented artist and a solid guy. I highly recommend seaport and jimmy johnson to anyone!
Came directly from a flight to the studio after my nose piercing broke off. The lovely stuff(especially the redhead one with the glasses:)) helped me right away. Very much appreciated.
Amazing place, I got a navel piercing, Maya did it and to be honest she was the sweetest, I was so nervous and she was very patient and kind I loved the result, I also bought a new piercing for my nose and she helped me putting it on, the staff was so nice, they even offered snacks and drinks while you wait, definitely coming back.
Jimmy is my tattoo guy and he has done amazing work for me. He is a stand-up guy and very well seasoned at his profession. He doesnt mess around and take a ton of breaks. He is the master of his craft. I would tell anybody if you want work that will love forever, hes the one.
Everything was clean and professional. Reggie is the man and will look after you. Shoutout to him for the great work he did on my sleeve!
I got a butterfly done by Bruno today and it was a great experience :)It turned out exactly how I wanted it and it went super easy and quickly.I didn’t pay as much as I thought I would either. I’m super happy with how it turned out and I’m already thinking about getting another tattoo done here lol
After searching and searching and doing research on various artist throughout MA...I settled on Seaport Tattoo. I really liked the portfolios from Seaport from all the artists but , what I saw out of Brunos portfolio on IG really caught my eye, so I gave him a shot. Man I picked a winner. Bruno is the absolute man. He really cares about his work and his art and I am ridiculously happy about the work that I had done by him. A real artist that grinded from the ground up and has perfected his craft. His lines , detail, highlights , shading, coloring and basically eveything is next level. Bruno is super professional and makes sure you are comfortable as well. I highly recommend Bruno. Top notch. A++++The shop in itself is a great environment also. Everybody is super chill and cool and its a great place to get some work done. Laid back vibe and all the artists and the owner are really cool. Its a great shop and where I plan on coming for all my future work. Check out Seaport Tattoo for your work. I promise you wont be disappointed.#BuddhaReview
Cant recommend Seaport Tattoo enough! I have been wanting to add to my memorial tattoo for a while; researched many area artists. Finally found Mark Vata @vata.vision_ink; he is new to the shop but I just loved his style and strong art background. Very easy to communicate with and was able to book an appointment within a week. He did the most phenomenal job; really took his time and it is just perfect. He is super talented and Im thrilled to showcase his gorgeous botanical monarch forever.
Jimmy Johnson does truly extraordinary work!! This was my first time and wont be the last if I decide to get another one,! The shop is very clean and homely and everyone is very kind! I highly recommend him to anyone! Jimmy your on point and thank you so much,I truly love my PAWS!!
Mike Graciale did exactly what I asked him to do and produced the very detailed tattoo I was looking for. I waited 7 years until I found the right person to do it. My new tattoo well surpassed my expectations because of how precise the artist needed to be to accurately transport the exact design onto human skin (he nailed size and placement as well). He is also super friendly, super respectful and extremely talented.I wish him many more decades of success and happy customers.1000% professional in every single step of the tattooing process. His portraits are out of this world because he has mastered highlights, shadows and most importantly the natural transitions between them.I am a new fan and hope to get another gallon of ink from Mike in the next 20 or so years. Peace matey!Captain Ben Sparrow
Seaport tattoo is one of the most professional and best tattoo shop i’ve seen in massachusetts. i got the pleasure of being able to get tattooed by this very talented artist bruno. his work is beyond amazing and i am so happy with his work! definitely my new artist
This place is by far the very best tattoo shop I have ever been to!! It is filled with class knowledge and artistic ability and I highly recommend checking it out! Jimmy is amazing and everybody that works there is 100% amazing! Talk about what a tattoo shop should be in look like this is the classiest place Ive ever seen!! I wish I could give more but 5 Stars across the board!!
Mike is amazing!! I drive over an hour for him on every tattoo I get. You give him an idea and he makes it 10x better. Super talented guy and makes the experience worth it. Whole shop is gorgeous and clean!
Best tattoo shop Ive been to. Super clean and inviting atmosphere. Ive had several tattoos done by Mike. He is the only artist I will get tattooed by. He does an amazing job and is very professional. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get work done!
Wanted to post this now before I forgot. Jimmy is an incredible artist. I’ve been to him 3 times now and each time his skills amaze me. Great guy too. Makes sure I’m comfortable. He’s tattooed painful areas on my body (shoulder, neck, arm hole etc) but keeps me laughing the whole time to distract me from the pain. The shop is kept in immaculate condition. Jimmy and the rest of the staff create an atmosphere that rises above other local tattoo shops!
A couple weeks ago my wife and I went to Seaport Tattoo so she could get a small piece commemorating a hospital journey our twin daughters went through. After doing some research and calling around, my wife was set on Seaport Tattoo from the beautiful work displayed by the artists, as well as the pleasant demeanor of the office manager on the phone. Upon arrival we were greeted by owner/artist Jimmy, who was fantastic. He was very friendly and patient while my wife picked out a font, even offering up artistic advice on dos and donts for the piece. His work was flawless, and my wife and I were very impressed with the cleanliness of his shop. We had a great experience with Jimmy and would definitely return to Seaport Tattoo. A+
Seaport Tattoo is hands down the classiest tattoo parlor around. Welcoming and positive atmosphere, and a great location. Ive been tattooed here several times by Mike Graciale, and Im always incresibly happy with his work. Every tattooer here does top notch work, and everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Ill definitely be a lifetime customer.
Went in and was treated rude. Had my design all picked out so I thought it would be pretty easy. In my 60s so j guess I didn’t natter. Was told to call to set up an appointment. After 4 calls ( nobody ever answers ) and messages i give up. 2 friends had similar experiences with them. Terrible way to do business
Got my nose piercing done here last year. staff was incredibly kind and everything was so clean. healed really well and i love my piercing
I came with my four friends and they accommodated all of us and gave us free snacks before and after and even provided phone chargers!! We loved it and Francis, our piercer, really made the experience super positive and comfortable. He was super friendly and efficient. I would recommend this place to anyone :)
Best Tattoo parlor in New England, all of the staff is great and the atmosphere is fitting for a top notch shop.Jimmy Johnson is the artist I have seen for a few years now and I can not speak more highly of the man. We’re in the process of doing leg sleeves (American Traditional Style) and there’re better then I could’ve dreamed of, everywhere I go people always compliment me on my work. Jimmy is also the go to guy for any other style too.Nothing but love for Seaport Tattoo. Support your local tattoo parlor folks.
I did a lot A LOT of research before getting work done but it has been all worth it a year into my sleeve. I’ve come back multiple times for Ashley, who’s work is unique, detailed, and flat out amazing. My pieces are coming along so much better than I could have hoped. Ashley always takes my ideas and makes them even better and I am constantly getting compliments on my ink. Everyone here is super friendly and they make you feel comfortable with a laid back fun environment. They’re always offering snacks and drinks and the place is very very clean. All in all I can’t say enough great things about Ashley and Seaport Tattoo so 5 stars just isn’t enough.
First off, they were not lying in the reviews about Francis. I went into the shop on Saturday around the time they recommended (btwn 11 am to 2 pm) and receptionist was sooo nice! Immediately she greeted my boyfriend and I so warmly and conversed with us while we waited for Francis to disinfect his piercing area. The shop is exceptionally clean. I loved it the moment I walked in. Any-who.. I have gotten many piercings before. But my experience at Seaport was by far one of the best. I wanted the industrial piercing and Francis walked me through the entire process. I already had a cartilage piercing in the spot that I wanted the industrial but Francis made sure to measure it so that it came out perfect. For me, the piercing literally did not hurt. Again, Frances explained everything step by step and also provided thorough after care instructions. Four (4) days later and I am literally still obsessed with this new piercing. It was done very professionally. Im glad I chose Seaport to get my piercing done. Oh yeah, and thank you Francis for keeping my hair out of the way while while you were piercing my ear, haha!
Couple days ago, I got my first nose pierced by Francis. A tear did come out of my eye a little bit but overall it felt pretty fine. Thank you Francis for caring about which jewelry fits perfectly for the nose. I will be returning soon.
Loved the atmosphere there Reggie was great help and they all do great art work and have nice line work definitely recommend getting tatted here
Good my first tattoo here with Bruno. A half sleeve for my left forearm. These guys were great and I had a lot of fun. Bruno was awesome. Definitely will recommend this place to others.
My go to place for new tattoos, especially with Bruno. Clean, friendly, and great work for a good price. Anyone looking for a shop in Boston should come here, great ink and the price is beyond fair
What a great shop! Everyone is nice, helpful, and professional. I got tattooed by Kyle, and couldnt be any happier with the end result! If you want a quality tattoo and good service, I would definitely recommend Seaport Tattoo!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP! Clean, professional and patient with customers. Jimmy was great and kind. We were walk ins, and they accommodated us right away on Sunday and especially before our flight back to miami. Thanks again Jimmy!
Reggie was great. He seemed to really know his stuff and made the experience extremely plessant.. Im usually a little needle shy...
I couldnt possibly say enough good things about this shop. Jimmy was great to work with. The shop is clean and comfortable. They have a great process and will make sure youre getting a great tattoo.
Great shop! They were able to get me in super last minute. Bruno was awesome, super personable and engaging. Work was fantastic and I highly recommend them!
Garbage. Explained that I was coming to get my 8 yr old daughters ears pierced...called no less than 4 times to ask about starter earrings, check on time, ask about bringing a passport etc. Was told a legal document that showed her age, like a passport was fine. Was never told I had to prove I was her mom...so its a birth certificate only. Traveled all the way in for a Christmas present and left with my daughter crying bc I brought a passport, as I was told. Go to Chameleon and see Owen ...do NOT recommend a place that cant get their info togetehr
This place is great. Ive recently had work done here twice - a touchup by Josh, and a new piece by Jim. The service is outstanding and its clear they really care about their work. The place itself is really nice too, with beverages, coffee, etc. Very skilled artists and a great atmosphere, would recommend to anyone.
Francis pierced my nose and it was the least painful nose piercing ever! He made sure I was comfortable and relaxed and even gave me some snacks! Very nice and gentle.
Had Mike for my 2 pieces and hes super professional, clean, great conversation and a great person. Good prices. Clean shop. Great staff. I will definitely be returning for my next piece! Thank you Seaport Tattoo!!
Yoooooo HANDS DOWN THE VERY BEST TATTOO SHOP I HAVE EVER STEPPED INTO. The front desk receptionist was super sweet and kind very helpful and just made the process so smooth but the highlight of it all is my man mike oh my god never have I ever loved another human being this man besides the amazing and outstanding tattoo job he’s done he WILL make you feel right at home and feel comfortable. You can actually joke with him and have a laugh , he’s not heavy handed when it comes to the ink and he keeps your mind away from it all with the funny jokes and hilarious convos. Mike is hands down the best person ever. Beautiful tattoo job did it exactly how I wanted it , always made sure I was ok and made the whole process a breeze. If you first timer or getting a new piece to add to your body THIS IS THE SPOT TO COME TOO 110% highly recommend this place there clean super sanitized and very kind to everyone who comes in. Honestly making this by go to spot don’t think I’ll have anyone else work on my ink besides mike that’s how amazing this place is. I love it !!!! And definitely recommend ppl to come here YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I SWEAR !!!
Called ahead for a walk-in for my first tattoo... Experience was great. Everyone was friendly and the process went smoothly!
Went in to get a tattoo. The quality of the artwork speaks for itself. Kyle and jimmy are masters of their craft and anyone would be lucky to have a tattoo by either on of these fine gentlemen.What sets this shop apart from the rest is the atmosphere and the customer relations skills of all the staff. First off let me say having a front desk girl is wonderful because having a tattoo shop answer your email within an hour of you sending it is 100 percent unheard of in the industry, but they got it. The second and in my opinion more important thing is neither artist is a stuck up (I can think of more creative language but I wanted this review to reflect the same professionalism I experienced at the shop). They are both easy going down to earth working class dudes. In an age when shows like inkmaster and apps like IG has made even the most mediocre of artists think they are gods gift to tattooing it was so refreshing to come into a shop and meet guys like Kyle and jimmy. On first glance with slacks and a tshirt youd never know I had quite a few tattoos and Im also in the military so I look fairly clean cut. I cant tell you how many shops Ive walked out of because they treat me differently because of that. Well not here they went really above and beyond the call. I had a tattoo artist flake on me last minute for a really important tattoo for a teammate I lost. I wanted to get the tattoo on the one year anniversary of his death. I came in and explained the situation. They went above and beyond to accomodate me. Got me in the next day on the anniversary for a custom tattoo. They had super reasonable prices. With my tattoo being custom and all the special attention I got and the quality of the art I expected to pay an arm and a leg for this tattoo. That was not the case. It was a fair price.Seriously check these guys out. They have promotions throughout the week too. Give them a call, stop in.... Just get over there!
Had a great experience with Francis for a nose piercing. He was very professional/knowledgeable and made me comfortable during the service. The space was very clean.
Nice friendly staff. Leah was nice to talk to as we had a little wait. Jimmy gave us (my wife and I both) quality ink. Definitely a great place to go to.
Charged $500 for simple line tattoo. Appointment was also interrupted as the artist also had a consultation booked at the same time.
Clean, professional and friendly. Kallie did a fantastic job with both the piercings and educating me on how to take care of them. I highly recommend this place.
I went into this place asking for a skull tattoo something simple you would think. According to this place it’s impossible. Now I’m looking at the pictures saying hmmm seems like you know what you’re doing but they still said no “too much to do too much detail” I’m pretty sure they are just racist.if you can’t do a simple skull maybe tattooing isn’t for you.
Very strict on appointments. You late, you have to reschedule. My wife loved her piercings and the gentleman that did it was super nice!
Got an amazing piece from Jimmy. The shop is clean, the process was professional, the artwork is just what I was looking for. And Jimmy is a great guy! Totally worth it!!
Took my daughter here to get her for piercing. Staff was friendly, professional and really helped her to be at ease. Will definitely return.
Francis is the best! He is so welcoming and kind, truly made my experience so painless. I would definitely come back here just for his services! Thank you guys 💕
Great place artist are a good vibe and do great art especially their guy Reggie definitely recommend checking these guys
Best guys and gals. Excellent customer service from the front desk girl (Jenn) and all of the artists totally rule. Would definitely go again ❤️
Highly recommend coming here and getting pierced by francis! he was super nice and made my first piercing experience great, cant wait to come again :)
Mike was so amazing! Great conversation and an amazing tattoo job. If we come back out to Boston I wont go anywhere else.
Mike Graciale is an awesome tattoo artist, as well as a great guy. Love his work. Class act!!
Awesome experience. Maybe a simple tattoo but a great result, very happy with it! Going back soon!!
Reggie 👎. Don’t recommend. Definitely an amateur artist. Will not even follow a simple stencil.
Awesome shop! I got tattooed by Mike, his work is outstanding, cool personality, and very professional.
I highly recommend getting tatted from Reggie! He has a lot of cool concepts and ideas!
I never made it in the door because the phone conversation was rushed and unprofessional. I went to Wave NPave in East Boston and was treating like a wanted client!
This place is awesome. I got my first tattoo here, the place was very clean, friendly workers and Mike did a fantastic job.
Had an appointment confirmed for a week with Stephany... Canceled 1 hour before without reason. Not a good impression. Disappointed..
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, price was fair and the tattoo turned out phenomenal. Would recommend/ return again.
Out of the way if you are walking (like me). They were able to fit me in while I was in town for a few days. Really friendly people and great work.
I got my first tattoo today and I love it! Steph did an amazing job.💚
Jimmy took great care of me for my first tattoo ever. Incredibly professional environment.
I absolutely loved doing my tattoo with Mark Vata, he was very kind and made really comfortable.
Mike was amazing, and the rest of the staff was great! Very clean and friendly!
Mike was great! Was a walk-in and was helped very quickly, hygienic and great art work!
The shop is beautifully set up and the artist are both talented and friendly. I didnt feel out of place here and will continue to use for future projects.
Multiple experiences here, all great. Mike and the rest of the crew do great work
The shop is so nice. Jimmy has been amaizing helping me with cover ups so greatfull to have found him and this place.

Called once to ask a question was rushed off the phone, did not receive any kind of help regarding my situation and the guy was incredibly rude and dismissing
They was very friendly and answered all my questions ..looking forward to going back n get my tattoo
So they booked me an appointment with a guy that called out. Didn’t even call to let me know drove down there for nothing. Horrible service
Very good tattoo artist, clean, relaxed atmosphere. Love
