Where in MA?

Anywhere, willing to travel. Even out of state within reason would be fine

My recommendation would be to call ahead for any suggestions you get here because some shops have changed their policies post-covid (no longer accepting walk-ins), and just ask what the shop minimum is and maybe book an appointment since even places that take walk-ins can fill up on a certain day and stop taking walk-ins that day. It would suck to drive a long distance only to be turned away!

That being said, I would recommend Bang Bang Body Arts in Northampton MA. I went there for a walk-in a few years ago and it was a great experience

Also don’t listen to the comments advising against it lol. So many places tattoo the same day! My dad owned a tattoo studio when I was growing up. It’s completely normal.

Lucky’s is good for piercings but tbh I wouldn’t recommend their northampton location for tattoos. If you can get on the books for their Boston location that’s a different story- I’ve seen some amazing work come out of that studio.

I know Bang Bang will be able to make a quick mock-up with their system so you’ll be able to see exactly what the tat will look like, and if you’re going to a professional studio I wouldn’t worry about the line art being shaky or blown out. Mine healed great and my friends who have also gone there have had similarly great experiences with both piercings and tattoos. Best of luck!!
