Great experience. My fiancé and I went and Flacco did his piece. It was clean, everyone is professional and the tattoos, both by Flaco and what I saw from other artists, were incredible! If you’re looking for true art to be put on your body, this is the place to go

Fake artist! Just tracing pictures found online. Looked up a bunch of images on Google. Never drew a thing other than little marks here and there on the Google images he kept searching. Little to NO communication the whole time and didn't really listen at all to what was wanted. At the end didn't get anything done and I want my 200 bucks back!!!! Said he would keep in touch to plan a better piece, never heard anything from them. Terrible and a complete waste of time and money!!

I had the best experience at empire tattoo in somerville!! whoever was working the front desk was extremely kind (short brown hair with glasses) and the artist, ramon, did an amazing job on my tattoos (he did the wave and the sparkles! not the scrappy numbers of course) !! I was a walk-in as well and they were able to accommodate me! I went in wanting to fix a few of my tattoos and adding a couple more; ramon gave me truthful and intelligent advice. one was too fresh and the other one he knew it would not age well and admitted I would hate it more if extra detail was added. I appreciated this greatly because others (different places) have just said they didn’t want to or an aggressive no without reason; but ramon was working in my best interest and made sure i was aware how it would look down the line. he also offered alternative ways to fix it or make it more detailed which was awesome! the tattooing experience itself (not including the pain lol) was great, we had some nice chats about life and careers. ramon also offered to fix up my other tattoos later on once everything is healed. the price was awesome, environment was comfortable, fast yet well done work, and everything in the tattoo room was extremely clean! I could not recommend this place enough!Service: Tattoos

Walked in around open on Saturday with a friend. We were the first ones there so there wasn’t a wait. Sam checked us in and did my friend’s tattoo. Ray did mine. They were both professional, friendly, made great conversation, and most importantly did an amazing job! We love our tattoos.The shop is on the smaller side but it’s clean and comfortable. Ray was extremely flexible with modifying the stencil so it was perfectly what I was looking for.We were there for around three hours including checking in and stencilling and everything. They’re pretty large tattoos (wrap around our thighs) as well.I would definitely recommend walking in!

Ramon did my finger tattoos and Ben did my mothers moon and they both did amazing, not only do the tattoos look insane but they were both such sweet people, the conversation, the care they put in, everything, i don't think i could've asked for a better experience whatsoever

Had a great experience!!! Being my first time, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff who guided me towards an experienced and talented Artist Ramon. The design and colour combination which I wanted were bang on!! The entire process was smooth and Ramon graciously accomodated my appointment despite his busy schedule. Really appreciate it!! would definitely recommend empire tattoo!!!Service: Tattoos

Terrible service. I went in a lil over a month ago to get a consultation for a tattoo by Ray and I put a non-refundable deposit of $100 for my tattoo. I made my appt for the following week and the same day of my appt is when the secretary called me to tell me Ray was sick and I had to reschedule. So today (which was a month later)I was gonna go in to start my tattoo...I get the same call again but this time he had to reschedule because he didn't save the design he sketched when I was supposed to come..I'm like "wtf". I asked for my deposit back and she was trying to tel me they have to keep it in case I want to come back to get my tattoo started. I said no because he cancelled twice on me! So they refunded my money to my card...so unprofessional!! Never again will I go back there!

My daughter had her first tattoo with Nelson and this was an absolute fantastic experience. Her artist was incredibly talented and brought the vision of hers to a full reality and fulfilled a sentimental dream tattoo that is just so detailed and beautiful. I will be going back and definitely recommend if you want a high quality tattoo done then Nelson is the artist to go to. Thank you for a memory she will cherish forever.Service: Tattoos

BTambs and Ray were absolutely phenomenal. Booking the appointments was a super easy and fluid experience every time. The atmosphere is very relaxing. All of the employees that I have interacted with have been kind and respectful. My tattooed and microbladed eyebrows by Brittany are BEYOND PERFECT... the eyebrows of my dreams(especially considering they were a major FIX job that she handled with precision) She also did 5 of my tattoos... all of which are top tier and I could not be happier. Her flair for the arts and classical training is evident by her artwork and sculptures that decorate her studio. Ray is so experienced and so steady, the tattoo from him was over in a blink and so crispy clean. The lines work and shadowing on the black and grey rose with script is flawless. If you want quality work done by brilliant artists go see Ray and Brittany at Empire.
