Got my conch and rook pierced here. Didn't hurt at all, but I have high pain tolerance. I believe it was $50 for each piercing. I paid $185 and got better jewelry instead of the basic ones it comes with. That way I won't have to change them out for a long time. Overall, pretty cool place. Friendly staff, good jewelry and easy to find location, Street parking is tough to find since they're located on a busy intersection. Read Less

Vinny is an awesome artist. He not only listened to what I wanted, but also added his creativity to create a great piece. His craftsmanship is excellent, as he has deep knowledge regarding the techniques and the dyanmics between the skin and ink in the tattooing process. I highly recommend Vinny if you are looking to get a medium to large piece! Read Less

I came to Holistic Ink because I made a mistake of letting other artist put ink on me without making sure they understood what I wanted. Not only did My artist Vinny incorporate the new ink to blend in with my old one, he listened to understand what I wanted. He made my other tattoos work around his tattoos. I don't know how he made that possible, but he shocked me! His art is unique and it's very detailed! (The owl is one of my first tattoos I got from vinny, and now I'm finishing up another huge piece. ) Vinny is fast, he listens, and he's creative. I'm excited to finish up my next piece with him! Tip: don't hesitate to tell Vinny exactly what you are looking for. He's really patient! Read Less

A few days later he came up with a pretty cool concept and sketch and we went from there. We tweaked the sketch a few times as I wanted it to be perfect and Vinny was great with making changes and being patient with me until I had exactly what I wanted.The tattoo was was finished in two sittings.

I went to Vinny the same day I called for a consultation (literally the minute after I got off the phone). I showed him a few photos of my dog and I told him the one I really loved. He was able to set up an appointment within the week. Once I got there he quickly set up my photo and told me his idea of setting up a contrast between an anime styled face next to my realistic dog. Once he finished the linework (while rubbing in cocoa butter), he sprayed numbing spray before tattooing the white linework. Definitely helped with the pain!  The tattoo was done within two hours. To ensure I was comfortable, Vinny had a pillow and set up Netflix to give me something to do. Definitely hope to be back soon! Read Less

So I'm new to tattoos and such but was deciding on getting one in the past year. Was looking for someone who could do some neat Japanese work around the area. I heard about Holistic Ink from some friends and seeing some of their tattoos, I started to become interested in their work. Here I came across some work of Vinny's and together with some work I found online.. he was able to incorporate his techniques and build off of that to make something even more incredible! Vinny is a really cool guy. Very welcoming and very friendly! He's quick and very efficient with his work. I hate needles in general but Vinny managed to make it go by quick and with as less pain as possible  just kidding. But definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a tattoo. I have looked at the other artist's work and they're incredible as well. Definitley check out Holistic Ink! They're very welcoming, professional and very friendly! Thanks Vinny for my first tattoo!

I got my first tattoo here at Holistic Ink! It came out just as I imagined, maybe even better! As an artist myself, I'm very picky and indecisive when it comes to coming up with a design so I left it all up to my tattoo artist, Billy Le, and he was fantastic! I just gave him a general idea and a few photo references and he was able to find inspiration and free-styled a beautiful, one of a kind piece of art of a Koi fish entangled in cherry blossoms like I wanted. I absolutely LOVE the clean crisp lines and the vibrant colors. They are also super attentive with aftercare too. I texted them when I had questions with the healing process and they always responded quickly and reassured any concerns I had.I'd definitely be back here for my next tattoo! Read Less

Got both my full sleeve and half sleeve done by Vinny. This dude is legit. His Japanese-style tattoos are the best I've seen in the Boston area. Vinny's speed is unmatched and still keeps every little detail while he tattoos, a true professional at work. My first tattoo was my full koi sleeve and was totally done free-hand and came out amazing. My second tattoo was my half sleeve and Vinny was creative enough to make the idea I had in mind work so perfectly. These guys at Holistic Ink are serious about their craft and want to provide the best service possible but are also very kind and warm spirited, they make you feel welcomed the second you walk in. I'll be coming back to Holistic Ink for all my future tattoos and will continue recommending this shop to all my friend and whoever wants to get tattoos done by some great people. Read Less

Got a piece done by Vinny. I had 2 tattos on my arm that I wanted connected into a sort of sleeve that would make the whole thing blend. I came with the idea of what I wanted it to include and let him run with it. He made it look better than I had thought out myself. He works super fast in small sessions that makes you not spend your whole day, and that also makes sure he sees any problems during the healing process if you end up needing a second one. Definitely going back. Read Less

Few of my friends highly suggested I go to Holistic and find Billy to do my coverup. I had previously set an appointment with another artist at another tattoo shop that I usually go to. Seeing as this was a coverup, I wanted it to be perfect. So I decided to cancel the previous appointment and go with Billy. I definitely do not regret going with Billy to do my coverup. He was able to make an appointment with me right away, the other place was making me wait a month and half for my appointment. Billy's lines are much cleaner than other people I've went to. Very friendly and accommodates to your needs and requests. Extremely happy with my new tattoo, by far my favorite piece! Read Less

This is the best shop in Massachusetts. It's also my favorite. There are others of course that exemplify great service with talented artist. But I've never had a tattoo done more close to perfection than by Vinny. He's extremely talented and serious about his craft. He's also very honest and great with prices. His code is unique and treats the art of tattooing as should be a lifestyle and not just a hobby. With that type of mindset he's able to achieve anything a client may be looking for. Which is not an easy feat given many tattoo artists develop a distinct art form. Which distinction is great but with a artist flexible as Vinny he's See's that vision you have for your tattoo exactly the same. Achieving what the client wanted given the obvious fundamental fact that it is permanent! All around committed artist and people's person. Thank you Vinny!!!! HUMAN xo Read Less

Have been going to Vinny since I embarked on the magical journey that is tattoos. I trust no one else. He's hilarious, personable and he's just an all-around good guy so you're not looking at some shady business or anything.I've watched him grow from apprentice to owner and he is always seeking new ways to master his craft. He's always an enjoyable trip and my tattoos are always exactly what I want - all in different styles. His expertise lies within traditional Asian art but more often than not, he's willing to expand beyond that. I have tattoos of all different styles, from Japanese art to text to intense color packing and Nordic.Always looking forward to my next trip. Thanks always Vinny! Read Less

My first tattoo was my full koi sleeve and was totally done free-hand and came out amazing. My second tattoo was my half sleeve and Vinny was creative enough to make the idea I had in mind work so perfectly. These guys at Holistic Ink are serious about their craft and want to provide the best service possible but are also very kind and warm spirited, they make you feel welcomed the second you walk in. I'll be coming back to Holistic Ink for all my future tattoos and will continue recommending this shop to all my friend and whoever wants to get tattoos done by some great people. Read Less

Highly professional. My sister’s tattoo came out better than we even imagined. Vinny taught us how to take care of the tattoo afterwards too, which was very helpful. He takes his time and pays great attention to the details of the tattoo. Will definitely come back to get tattoos done for myself too. Vinny is the best! I’ve seen his work through others and it’s crazy good. If you want a tattoo done that you know will come out great, go to Vinny. 👌 Read Less

Got a piece done by Vinny. I had 2 tattos on my arm that I wanted connected into a sort of sleeve that would make the whole thing blend. I came with the idea of what I wanted it to include and let him run with it. He made it look better than I had thought out myself. He works super fast in small sessions that makes you not spend your whole day, and that also makes sure he sees any problems during the healing process if you end up needing a second one. Definitely going back. Read Less

Few of my friends highly suggested I go to Holistic and find Billy to do my coverup. I had previously set an appointment with another artist at another tattoo shop that I usually go to. Seeing as this was a coverup, I wanted it to be perfect. So I decided to cancel the previous appointment and go with Billy. I definitely do not regret going with Billy to do my coverup. He was able to make an appointment with me right away, the other place was making me wait a month and half for my appointment. Billy's lines are much cleaner than other people I've went to. Very friendly and accommodates to your needs and requests. Extremely happy with my new tattoo, by far my favorite piece! Read Less

This is the best shop in Massachusetts. It's also my favorite. There are others of course that exemplify great service with talented artist. But I've never had a tattoo done more close to perfection than by Vinny. He's extremely talented and serious about his craft. He's also very honest and great with prices. His code is unique and treats the art of tattooing as should be a lifestyle and not just a hobby. With that type of mindset he's able to achieve anything a client may be looking for. Which is not an easy feat given many tattoo artists develop a distinct art form. Which distinction is great but with a artist flexible as Vinny he's See's that vision you have for your tattoo exactly the same. Achieving what the client wanted given the obvious fundamental fact that it is permanent! All around committed artist and people's person. Thank you Vinny!!!! HUMAN xo Read Less

Have been going to Vinny since I embarked on the magical journey that is tattoos. I trust no one else. He's hilarious, personable and he's just an all-around good guy so you're not looking at some shady business or anything.I've watched him grow from apprentice to owner and he is always seeking new ways to master his craft. He's always an enjoyable trip and my tattoos are always exactly what I want - all in different styles. His expertise lies within traditional Asian art but more often than not, he's willing to expand beyond that. I have tattoos of all different styles, from Japanese art to text to intense color packing and Nordic.Always looking forward to my next trip. Thanks always Vinny! Read Less

This is my first, and not the last time I get a tattoo at Hollistic Ink. I've heard great things about Vinny from very close friends of mines. I wanted to get a half sleeve of a dragon that connected on my chest and when meeting Vinny he informed me the characteristics and symbolism of tattoos.

I love it when an artist can express and show they creativeness through your own ideas and make it great. Give Vinny your idea let him touch it with his own flare. He does lots of his work by free-hand drawing it out on your specified body part. Guaranteed you'll love it! Read Less
