The Hidden Gem Private Tattoo Studio

I cant emphasize enough how awesome this place is, and my experience here! Antonio is extremely friendly and professional, especially when it got to the 6th hour of the tattoo and I was really feeling the burn. He let me take breaks when I needed it, checked in to make sure I was doing okay, and even offered to book me for a different day if the pain got too intense. His studio was calm and clean, and he was extremely careful about changing his gloves if he touched something. Not to mention all his designs are INSANE, I am so so so thrilled with the one he did for me! The best tattooing experience Ive ever had, and if I ever want another, Im definitely going to be booking with him again! Thank you so much Antonio!!

Antonio is a great guy, I cannot recommend him enough. The shop is very clean and he is a true professional who does incredible work. He was able to take my idea and turn it into something better than I had envisioned. Booking was easy and well worth the wait; I will only be going to him for future work.

Always an amazing experience with this artist! Has done all of my tattoos, for years! Won’t go to anyone else. He’s booked, but he’s worth the wait! 100000%

If you’re looking for a tattoo, THIS is the place to go. I sent an inquiry through the website in March when they were accepting new appointments and received a response I believe early May, maybe a bit earlier. (aka he’s busy because he’s amazing!!). Antonio is so professional and does an AMAZING job with his tattooing. I got two small tattoos (one on my ribs/torso and one on the back of my forearm. Pics are from 5 days after getting them done) on Tuesday and they’re healing very well. His studio is clean and he shows you all the brand new needles and ink he’ll be using on you, and answers any and all questions you may have. Also super reasonable pricing! You can tell he loves what he does and he does it so well. He works with you to create the tattoo you want and he was so great about my little last minute changes to make sure I was happy with what will be on my body forever. Every time I look at my tattoos I can’t help but smile. Thank you times a million Antonio!!!!! :)

Antonio was professional and friendly. He checked in with me throughout the session to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the way the tattoo was coming out and was really easy to talk to, which was an added bonus! His work speaks for itself. I highly reccomend Hidden Gems Tattoo Studio!

If your looking for an Awsome Tattoo artist look no further!!! Book your appointment with Antonio he’s by far the best ! Got my tattoo done and have zero regrets! Thank you so much I’m in love with it and I’m looking forward for more.

I had the BEST experience here. Antonio books way in advance, but its totally worth the wait! He was so professional, and his space is very clean. He has a really great technique as well, and hes been doing art his entire life. He was so receptive to what I wanted, and thought of ways we could improve upon the design element I had envisioned in my mind. His prices are really reasonable because he works alone, and is only there when he has an appointment booked. I definitely recommend Antonio to anyone interested in getting a tattoo, and will do so at any opportunity!

98 reviews and a 5.0 rating as of 4/26/23 says a lot. This was my 1st experience (2 sessions with a total of 11+ hours of tattooing) with Tone and google may want to allow a 6th star for him. He put my soul on my arm with only a few pictures and I couldnt be happier with the results. I wish I gave him a blank canvas to work with but he exceeded my expectations with the results. Trust his process and you will be amazed.Thank you Antonio for everything and see you in 2024.

Honestly, amazing amazing work! Tony is super kind, down to earth, respectful and patient! Made my first tattoo experience amazing! The vibes are calm and he makes sure youre okay with everything before he starts. He opens everything up in front of you to make you feel more at ease. All needles are packaged and clean. Cant stress this enough, AMAZING! Recommend 110%. I was so nervous, but I couldnt be more happy with his work and my new realistic black and white tiger!

Had a really good session with Antonio today. Anytime I get a tattoo by him he is very attentive to my comfort level. I love talking to him because he’s very open and mindful. Every session is different, there are new topic conversations as a distraction to the tattoo gun or the background music. You can’t always get this at a regular shop. I’m pleased to be a consistent client and I’m looking forward to seeing more creative tattoo pieces. See you next time ✌🏽

Antonio is an amazing tattoo artist and an even better person. His studio is extremely clean and professional. I got my first tattoo done and he made me feel extremely comfortable and was constantly checking in with me while doing it. Antonio is a down to earth person that takes passion in his craft, I couldnt have picked a better person/artist.

Antonio is an amazing artist and all-around wicked nice guy! He always made sure I was comfortable and happy with his work through the whole appointment. Highly recommend! Ill definitely be going back for my next tattoo!

Awesome dude, nicest guy in the world. Couldnt be happier with my tattoo. Hes knowledgeable and extremely talented. He was friendly and funny through my entire tattoo. Believe me, anyone that can put up with me for hours on end and still be friendly and funny is a saint. Place was clean and professional. Communication over email was easy, relaxed and constructive. I gave him some ideas for my tattoo, and he was able to create something that was really unique and attractive. I have been recommending him to everyone I talk to. If youre considering getting a tattoo from him I would definitely recommend you do it. I think youll be extremely happy. Good luck dude!Update, 8/2021: Got my second tattoo from Antonio. I stand by everything I said in my original review. Antonio is still a stand up dude. Wicked awesome guy. If anything hes gotten even better, but hes still wicked humble. I wish him all the success in the world. Oh, and I love my tattoo. If I get any more money and my wife will let me, Ill be back again.

I was referred to Tone by a good friend and it was the best decision I made!!! For years I’ve been prolonging my tattoo just being cautious since this tattoo is very personal. Tone was so professional and kept a well maintained place. He has a great personality and makes sure your comfortable during the whole process, frequently asking if the work is ok. I will definitely recommend him to all, and if anyone is ever hesitant look up his work. His art speaks for itself and no doubt the best work I’ve had!!! Can’t wait to go back for my next tattoo.

Antonio exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I waited a long time to get a tattoo that had a special meaning to me, and that also incorporated my heritage.Antonio is really chill and laid back, which makes it very comfortable for newbies like me! He is also very clean and asked you to leave the room so he can clean and prep it while you watch from the doorway.I get compliments all the time on my tattoo and I am absolutely obsessed with it. If I could walk around with my shoulder blades exposed 24/7 I would.I highly recommend Antonio and the Hidden Gem Tattoo Studio. Antonio FYI As the Terminator says, I’ll be back!THANKS ANTONIO!

Antonio is awesome. Great tattoo artist with a fair price. One of the best in Worcester!. He books you for the day and is focused on each individual client

Beyond content with my experience at Hidden Gem. Antonio created the most perfect design based off what I showed/told him I was looking for. Extremely outgoing, great vibes and very clean and professional studio. I am absolutely in LOVE with my piece. I will most certainly be back and anyone who’s been considering Tone as an artist? BOOK NOW!! Thanks again Antonio! Can’t wait for our next session 💎

Antonio was very professional and accommodating. This being my first tattoo I had a ton of questions going in and he certainly answered all of them. Very easy to work with, great and clean work environment and most of a he is very much so dedicated to his profession. Couldnt have asked for a better experience!!

I’ve had tattoos done at other places, and this by far was the best place. Antonio is very professional, his work is impeccable! He held conversations with me probably to keep me calm (anxiety issues) haha, but his studio is very clean and calming. If you are in the Worcester area, or Massachusetts area, go see Antonio, he’s the best!

Honestly if you’re in Worcester, or even in the surrounding cities/states, this is the only shop you’re going to want to look at. You get the quality of a traveling artist for local prices. Grab your tattoos before he escapes Worcester!!! Not only do you get an amazing piece of art; it is accompanied by a professional, relaxed environment. Not to mention my guy gives mentally stimulating banter while tattooing. I almost didn’t feel any pain for an hour, because I was so into the conversation. There’s no way you can possibly feel like leaving less than a 5 star review after getting tatted here. Just remember it’s a private studio, so email first and be patient; he’s the only person that works there. You can’t just show up and expect him to drop what he’s doing. All you gotta do is email, consult, then become a walking canvas of art!!!!Infinite stars

Tone is an amazing artist. He finished my sleeve & is doing my portrait tattoos. His work is impeccable & always meets/exceeds my expectations. We gather the ideas together & his creative mind goes to work. I highly recommend him.

The atmosphere:Clean, relaxed, visually satisfying, comfortable, excellent selection of music, and Ants customer service skills are on point.Hospitality:He assured I was comfortable where I was sitting, the temp, music, offered me water and made the appointment as relaxed and chill as possible. 4 hours felt like 2...Skill:Ant is not a tattoo tracer, he is a legit artist who can make nothing into something amazing. When his printer/copier didn’t make the template as perfect as he wanted it. He free handed it!!! Zero complaints!End results:An amazing/meaningful tattoo that he took his time to perfect and make sure he was capturing what I imagined and elevated it. He’s professional, talented, hard working and I’d recommend anyone to go see him! If this is your first tattoo or 30th, you must get inked by Ant!!

The name matches the talent. The shop is very clean and makes you feel comfortable as the artist achieves your dream tattoo. The tattoo I received here was exactly what I wanted down to every line. You won’t find a better shop with reasonable prices and great work. Definitely getting my next dream piece done here.

Tattoos are an impression from your soul onto your physical skin. Finding the correct tattoo artist should be the most important part of the tattoo process. I am fully satisfied with Hidden Gem. His work ethic, mannerism, artistic devotion, stability and of course talent was greatly appreciated. The atmosphere was calm and work area clean. All needles in packages and ink with caps!!! I have 8 tatts and these new additions are by far the cleanest line work and solid color. I was not rushed in or out and he listened to me and asked for my final review on placements.Not overly priced but even if it was his work is worth it!

I had a cover up tattoo done by Antonio. I found him in Instagram and new I had to have him be the one to work his magic. Not only is he a talented artist, but also extremely professional. Hidden Gem studio is clean and cozy. Antonio made sure I was comfortable and satisfied during my experience Bonus is he is very down to earth and has the best snacks on deck 😉

Definitely the place you want to go. Antonio is a extremley talented artist that will work with you on your vision. Super professional and clean. I was comfortable the minute I walked in his studio. If I could give this place a higher score I would! My piece came out better than what I was hoping for, thank you Antonio!

Antonio is professional and approachable. I was really comfortable in his studio. He was meticulous doing my tattoo and it came out beautifully. I will absolutely continue to go back to get work done from him.

Great experience. Ive got 4 tattoos from Tone. Each one I gave him and idea and asked him to creatively expand upon it. And each time hes outdone himself. The environment is welcoming to the customer, clean, and just a comfortable time. I highly recommend.

Today was my first tattoo session at the hidden gem studio and Antonio was a very polite, friendly and respectful artist. I felt comfortable and his world is beyond amazing! I recommend Antonio 100%

Excellent customer service / hospitality! Best tattoo shop experience in my life, tat looks dope, got to take a break and eat lunch no stress, chill vibe everything went right. Great dude there man i highly recommend Antonio at this place, he’s a real one with some real skills.

By just walking in to the shop you will not want to leave without a tattoo! the friendly welcome you get, to the cleanliness and and coziness it will deffinately make you a happy customer.Thanks Tone you are #1

Honestly best tattoo artist Ive seen in worcester. Shop was a comfortable size. Very clean, Professional and talented. Always made sure that I was comfortable and made the overall experience great. Definitely going back and getting more done by Tone much respect for your work bro.

I hand picked him to do my first tattoo based on his amazing artwork and he did not disappoint. I just got my third tattoo done by him and I’m absolutely in love with the results. Great prices and very talented, I recommend him to everyone I know wanting to get ink.

Very clean and neat. Has to be the best tattoo experience I have ever had. Great prices and very layer back vibe. Never felt so welcomed by someone so fast.Need tattoos you definitely need to book!

AMAZI NG Artist! My wife and I had our first tattoos done by Antonio. Will never go to anyone else! He is professional,courteous and a really nice guy! His studio is clean and comfortable!

The hidden gem is a real clean shop. The customer service was one of the best I ever had. A down to earth person real respectful and takes his work seriously. He took a tattoo that another place mess up real bad and gave it life. I was so happy going to this man. God bless his talent. #The Hidden Gem!!!

The only person Ill get a tattoo by. Ive never had 7 hour session go by so smooth. Felt like u was there for 2. He is a very cleanly and patient artist. He actually took the time to research what I wanted and I havent stopped receiving compliments on my peice. The vibe was awesome.

I found this shop through Google and I couldnt have been happier with my experience. Tone made sure I was completely satisfied with the sketch before putting the stencil on and checked with me through the whole process. Super chill environment and amazing quality art, I will definitely be returning here for my future tattoos!

Best tattoo spot in the city. Tattoo studio is private instead of going to a shop where a million things are going on around you. His sessions are well worth it and Tony is probaly the most dedicated in the city to his work, he puts his all in all tattoos and it shows In his work

I have gotten 3 tattoos from here so far, the atmosphere is great very laid back clean and comfortable, the work is amazing, so detailed and the artist is very professional and helpful , he exceeds expectations ever time not to mention the pricing is great. I would definitely 100% recommend going here for any tattoo your looking to get

I see a post stating if your looking for an awesome tattoo artist look no further, and I couldnt agree more!!! Incredible to say the least! Comfortable, clean, professional, and an amazing artist. 100% recommend

Inaccurate hours posted. Went there when they said they were open..locked door. Tried calling, no answer. This happened on two separate occasions. Hidden gem is a good name cause it is truly hidden.Edit:the owner has now proven that he is unable to handle the slightest of criticism and would have been a terrible person to conduct business with. private tattoo studio that doesnt answer knocks on their doors or phone calls? what business operates their welcoming of new customers by solely relying on emails?to quote the great Abraham Lincoln:It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Best tattoo artist I’ve ever been to. Very clean, very professional and very talented. He was very personable and later back. In love with my new piece!!!

Dope artist and a great atmosphere at the shop, will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo

Very clean. Antonio is amazing. I think I will stick with him. (Only because he has peanut butter and jelly trader Joes snacks...bomb!) But also because my tattoo is sickkkkk 😎

Great experience! Definitely recommend Tone, he is extremely professional but laid back at the same time. Music always on point and cares about his customers needs 1st and foremost!

Tony did a tattoo in my moms handwriting. I was beyond pleased with the results! Atmosphere was so laid back and Tony was so professional and prices are definitely reasonable.

Highly recommend. The Hidden Gem is the best tattoo parlor in the area. It is very clean and Antonio is very professional.I have been to other tattoo establishments in the area and none compare to the Hidden Gem.

Best tattoo shop in the Worcester area. The artist was friendly, and the shop was extremely clean. I highly recommend booking an appointment if you are thinking of getting some work done...

Tone provides a comfortable and easygoing environment and you can tell he’s trying to do what he loves and enjoy what he’s doing versus trying to just get paid. Great prices, amazing artwork, no complaints whatsoever.

Antonio is an extremely talented artist, he has a very amazing gift! I told him my vision and he sure did bring it to life! When picking an artist for a custom project that holds meaning to you, you dont want to make a mistake especially seeing as it’s going to be on your body for life. I have made many mistakes like this in the past, and I was adamant on not making the same mistake The only regret I have is that I did not find this Artist sooner!His shop is clean and well maintained, he’s articulate, well mannered, and honest! This artist is truly a hidden gem! If you are looking for somebody who specializes in custom pieces with extreme talent reach out to Antonio you will not be disappointed!
