Reviews of Stingray Body Art & More

Brooke Morgan

I have gotten eight tattoos here and a couple of piercings here. (Shout out to Aaron, who did most of the tattoos for me.) The shop is clean, the waiting area is comfortable and I've been treated well every time. The shop manager is good at her job. Parking in this neighborhood kinda sucks, so if you're driving, give yourself extra time to make a couple rounds. They used to do walk ins on Saturdays, which I took advantage of. It's my understanding they became appointment only because of covid. Prices are totally fair for the industry.

Claudine Aoun

For a first piercing, it was wonderful! They did a great job with my septum and it healed well. The service and people were super kind, with the shop itself being very clean and organized. I would go back for sure!

Amanda Good

Always amazing. I've had multiple piercings done by them - always clean, kind, and professional. Recently thought 2 of my piercings closed up after being out of the country and losing the jewelry for them so went to get them repierced. The looked and saw that they were still open just very constricted. Opened them up, put some new jewelry in, and got on my way for far less $ than I was expecting.

Maya Holt-Teza

I’ve had multiple experiences getting piercings here, they’ve always done a great job! Service, availability, and communication is all excellent, highly recommend

Lillian Kaufman

I HIGHLY recommend going to Sting Ray for extremely professional and well done tattoos and piercings. The atmosphere is so wonderful and all the staff are so welcoming, kind and willing to answer any questions. I’ve gotten many piercings here and today I got my navel done and had an amazing experience per usual. Kristina is very talented allowing the piercings to be quick and painless. Also the best body mod prices in Boston with great jewelry choices.

Olivia DeSanto

So so happy with my wonderful experience at this shop! The staff seemed quite knowledgable, every person I interacted with. Emrys did two piercings on my ear and was extremely quick, clean, and gentle. He was also kind enough to downsize a post on a healed piercing from ~3 years ago that I never got around to switching out. Thanks to all :) highly recommend this shop and I'll definitely be going back.

audrey

pre covid I went here for tattoos, fantastic work. More recently I was here for two nostril piercings. Emrys did them both, hes the BEST. I do not want to go to another piercer ever. fast, professional, knowledgable. Hes been doing this since 1999, so I trust him endlessly to do it clean and appropriate. I originally wanted a different piercing and he straight up said "no." because he knew the risk and didn't want to take that chance for either of us. Mad respect.

Caroline Helms

piercing staff is kind and very knowledgeable, it’s always easy to call and schedule something

Chris “Phoenix Bodywork” Duffey

My girl friends tat came out awesome! Faster than even said, waiting room is dope. Parking was actually easy( we did go mid day), a mask is still required.

Melanie Staten

Really great experience here. My partner got their first piercings and everyone was so helpful, understanding, and respectful. The piercings (triple forward helix) look amazing! I'm so glad they were able to make their first experience a good one.

Arielsi Aybar

Matt Park at Stingray is an amazing artist! He saved me from getting a mediocre tattoo, he could have just taken the money, not bothered and done it but he knew I could do better and designed this beautiful piece just for me! It’s like he knew what I wanted before I did! I’ll definitely be going back to him for more ink. I Highly recommend going to see him! He can bring any idea you have to life trust me! 5 stars

Anthony Nguyen

I love Stingray! I truly felt welcomed there. The staff there were extremely amazing for taking the time explaining everything and answering any questions I had left. Heck, even the phone call to make an appointment was pleasant. I have been to another piercing shop in the Cambridge area where they botched my earlobes piercing twice by two different piercers. My piercer, Kristina, did a wonderful job on my earlobes. Her precision is right on the money. I appreciated her even more when I got home to have a closer look at her work. If I had more earlobes, I would look for Kristina to get them done. Strongly recommended for anybody to get any piercing job done. 5/5

Mame-Diarra Ngom

I got a nose piercing with Emrys today. Everyone working at the location was kind and helpful. He made the piercing very easy and comfortable. He was also super knowledgeable about the piercings and aftercare. He even ran outside to return a water bottle we left behind! Highly recommend Stingray!

Danny Killea

"Did you use this business?" Well, I tried, but it seems like they genuinely have too much going on, and I wanted to give a heads up of what at least I went through. Been tattooed before (NOT here) and this place is really close to me so I figured I'd give it a try. After getting booked ~5/23, I e-mailed my reference piece to the artist Alina the same day. After not hearing from her for 12 days I sent a follow up basically saying, "hey - are we good?" she replied saying she was sorry, it's super busy, but we're good. Day of tattoo (scheduled 6/12, 5PM) arrives and I get a call a little bit before noon from the shop asking me if I've checked my e-mail today. I hadn't, since it was a Sunday morning, so they explain the situation over the phone: the person I spoke with originally 3 weeks ago underbooked my timeslot and the piece can't be completed today. I can either come in for the linework during my original appointment and then wait about a month to finish it up, or wait that month for the longer appointment and do the whole piece at once. I was wildly disappointed to say the least. I've been looking forward to this for a while now and this was an incredible let down. I found another shop who could take me sooner (and assured me they booked the correct amount of time) so I did cancel the appointment at Stingray altogether. The person I spoke with on the phone was very apologetic and they are giving me my deposit back, so that's honest of them, but they too also iterated how busy the shop is, so if you do end up booking here don't be surprised if you feel rushed or overlooked during the process.

Maxwell King

I had a fantastic experience! I had a tattoo done by the artist Jess, and she was easy to talk to and was very in tune to how you were feeling! She was easy to talk to and the process of getting in and out were as simple as putting pants on!

Kara Coraccio

Got a piercing with Emrys yesteday, and can't recommend enough! I initially went in for an industrial but unfortunately I don't have the right anatomy for it. Emrys explained everything in great deal, and we came up with a great option to get a forward helix piercing to eventually incorporate with a prior piercing with a chain to get a similar industrial effect. Emrys was so nice and professional, and I felt super safe and confident that I was getting a quality piercing experince. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Tryand FeelMe

Matt!!!! Love Matt. This is a great tat shop. Me and my husband and son got B FOR BOSTON , my husbands home town!! They are by the book here . My husband couldn't get his because of him renewing his ID.They are all funny as hell!!!! Fast, clean, not cheap but hey cheap ain't always good. If I get back to Boston I'm going here. As a matter of fact I would go to Boston just to get my ink from matttt!!!!! And the owner is cool too, Scott....i think , if I'm wrong I'm sorry...xox

Karleen Walsh

Super professional and clean. I got two piercing done. Everyone is the shop id so nice and Kristina was so kind and sweet when i told her i was anxious about my piercings

Moriah Hicks

Cannot say enough great things about my experience with Stingray! Alastair made my old tattoo disappear with a gorgeous cover up. The detail and line work is amazing. The people behind the front desk were super friendly. And great job with Covid protections

Kay Rosenberg

Cristina is so nice, and very talented! She is my favorite piercer around. She is kind, and makes me feel comfortable. I would trust her to pierce anything.

Michael Morgovsky

Thank you, great service, it’s worth few minutes to wait for quick and painless ears piercings

Zero Sun

Staff were all super professional and welcoming, made my first piercing experience super positive! Couldn't recommend these guys enough :D

Danny Quynh Lam Ong

Love the work here. If I can use numb cream or something I would love to be back for more tatoo. I couldn't stand the pains hahah lol

Christin Harrigan

I will only get pierced at Stingray! The staff is amazing, well informed, and very clean. The location is pretty accessible too, right in Allston (bus route and the B line within walking distance).

Levi Young

got my double lobes pierced in 2018! never infected! I was incredibly nervous but the welcoming atmosphere and great decor almost immediately calmed my nerves. incredibly nice, helpful staff. 100% recommend!

Elise Carson

Such a great experience! My friend and I walked in on a Sunday evening for naval piercings. We had to wait for a bit, but none of the other places we'd checked were even able to fit us in that day, and I had a flight early the next morning. The staff were all super friendly, and the waiting area was comfortable. There was a good selection of jewelry as well, and the place was super clean. The piercer awesome! He had a great sense of humor, and the piercing was over almost before I'd even noticed it. He went over aftercare with me and my friend, and encouraged us both to come in if we had any questions at all during the healing process. I mentioned that I wasn't from the Boston area, and he asked where I lived so he could tell me about a good place nearby where I could go with any questions. I wasn't expecting him to know of anywhere in Oklahoma, but he barely missed a beat before telling me about a good shop to go to if I needed anything. Overall, I was very impressed!

Olympia Kalavantis

I came in to get a helix piercing today and after I filled out paperwork, a really nice woman helped me pick out jewelry based on where I was piercing my ear. After I picked out a stud, we had to wait about 30 minutes before they could pierce my ear due to how many people were there but they kept everything very organized and they have lollipops, beverages, and games to keep you occupied while you wait. Also, it was very clean and everything is sterilized!! When I went in to the piercing room, Kristina was really great. She explained everything while she did it which really helped me stay calm and she was super quick, I didn’t feel a thing. Then, she thoroughly explained how to care for my piercing and I was out in no time. Overall, everyone was super nice and it was just a really great experience.

R Munoz

Super helpful staff!! They helped me with sizing and styles for my jewelry. Nice shop with lots of plants and very friendly staff. Loved it

Amanda Eidson

Me and my friend got our very first tattoos! Aaron was awesome and was able to fit us into his schedule! Customer service was amazing and waiting area is super comfortable and the music was great! I would give 10 stars if i could! Ill be coming back again for any other tattoos and piercings!! Thank you Stingray staff for an amazing first experience!!

Greta Telo

This is an amazing place. I love it. Great prices, services and always friendly. I got my Red Sox tattoo there in 2010, still looks amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I got a small nose stud there, quick and painless. The place is really a 5 star establishment.

Sadie McLaughlin

Yesterday was my first experience at this shop, from start to finish it was excellent, very relaxed and upbeat, beautiful and clean shop. I got my tongue pierced by Brad, it was quite obvious his experience and professionalism, but his personality is awesome. I personally don’t get nervous when getting pierced or tattooed but if I did have any nerves He would have completely eased them. I wish I had gotten the names of the other staff members there to give them a shout out too. Awesome experience gorgeous unique jewelry it was definitely worth the trip and travel

Bella Tanaka

I went in on a Sunday afternoon because a cheap piercing that I had gotten abroad was bothering me. The place was very busy, and I was told to wait about an hour to be seen by the piercer. I came back after an hour and waited just a bit longer before it was my turn, but I was happy with the accurate wait time. I didn't catch the name of the nice person who looked at my piercing, but they were so understanding and walked me through the entire process. They also made an effort to make it as painless as possible which I really appreciated. I didn't have to pay for the visit, just the $35 jewelry that I got replaced. I was told to come back whenever I had a concern. I hope their advice helps me because this was a really enjoyable experience!

Alexander Gousie

I've gone to stingray three times for a piercing and each time I've gone, the hospitality and information about after care is PHENOMENAL. They'll help almost anyone who walks through the door get the best out of their piercing or help rectify issues that other piercer's stores have made. So much information is at your disposal and while it might seem like a lengthy process, it's because they care so much about each client. Kristina is an amazing piercer and even though I've moved from the state, I will always come back for new piercings. I can not recommend this place enough to people. Whether it's your first piercing or your 20th, they take care of you.

Zachary Gardner

I went to see Aaron for a geometric tattoo. He was awesome! The lines are straight and crisp, and I really appreciated how meticulous he was toward the end, switching to a smaller needle to touch up small soots that he missed earlier. Excellent excellent EXCELLENT artist. Thanks Aaron!

Pats Mandez

There's a reason why Stingray is a well known tattoo parlor in the Boston area. They use only top quality products for piercings. There is an artist for every type of tattoo style/speciality. The place itself is super clean and very sanitary. The staff are super friendly and are happy to answer any and every question or concern you have. Alastair is the artist who did my tribal piece and the finished product was incredible! They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for and it was worth it!

Mariana Golden

I had a double helix and septum piercing done in one go. Matteo was very friendly, quick and professional, and the piercings just felt like a little pinch, and then nothing. The cartilage piercings stopped hurting after the first day, and they haven't even swelled, which is great. I am VERY careful about aftercare though, so that helped. The only issue I had was that the captive bead ring that he used on my septum was too tight, and was digging into the front of my nose and causing me a lot of pain. It actually bruised the front of my nose because it was so tight. I called Stingray, however, and they said that I should come in ASAP and they'd simply switch it to a larger size. Unfortunately, I was traveling and wouldn't be back in the area, so I had to go to another piercing shop to get it done. I'm grateful that Stingray was so willing to fix it immediately for me, though. Even though I had the issue with the septum, Stingray was very responsive and willing to fix the mistake immediately, so I'm still giving them a good rating. Matteo seems very experienced, and the piercings themselves were done very well, it was just the size of the ring on my septum that was wrong, but that was a quick fix. In the future, I'm planning on coming back for a few more ear piercings and maybe a tattoo eventually

Jere Pilapil

I’ve gotten tattoos from three different artists here. All were very cool, professional and did great work!

Nic Rowe

Quick, professional service and Kristina did an awesome job at making me feel comfortable and explaining aftercare for my piercings. If you're looking to get a piercing or tattoo, there's no reason not to get it done here!

AT B

I highly recommend this shop. I went this Morning to have my hood pierced. From Beginning to end Brad, my piercer made me feel comfortable and right at home. He took his time to explain the procedure and was very patient with me. I appreciated both his professionalism and knowledge. The actual procedure itself was quick which was great the sting lasted for only a few seconds and it was over. I have gone about my day like normal and feel minimal discomfort. If you're looking for a place to trust this is it. Super clean, friendly and knowledgable. This was my first time here but I will definitely be back.

Maddie Rex

Very focused on cleanliness, super friendly, and a relaxed environment. Staff are AMAZING and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!

Rose H

Looked this place up because my daughter wanted her ears pierced and reviews said they do a great job. Other option nearby for us (Claire's) was reviewed as spotty, quality (symmetry) wise. It was great (except we had to wait an hour, but I'd do it again). Woman who pierced her ears marked them first and got her approval. Really happy with experience and result.

Natalie Golovanov

I got this cute daith piercing today, I'm so happy with it ! All the employees were great and they were really careful about sterilizing everything and making sure everything was in perfectly in place and that I was comfortable. The decorations and the couches in the lobby are so nice and cozy. It was such a good experience :-)

Aviva Musicus

After doing a lot of research, I chose to come to Stingray to get three ear cartilage piercings, and I'm happy I did! The waiting time was very short, and the man who pierced my ears was extremely lovely (and clearly experienced with piercings, because his face was covered in them!). It was a very clean and sterile environment, and they helped me pick out the right sizes for my earrings. I also like how their earrings just come out by pulling them apart, as opposed to other mechanisms--it made it much easier for me to switch them out. It was pretty expensive, but not more expensive than other piercing places I looked at.

Alyssa Arzola

I went to Stingray last week to get my nostril pierced and did not have a great experience. I subsequently reviewed the establishment on google and yelp. To my surprise, I received a response from Scott, the owner of Stingray apologizing and an offer to remedy the incident. He suggested that I reach out to Kristina, who is an experienced piercer, but I was still very weary. After speaking to someone at work, I was reassured I’d be in great hands with Kristina. After calling her this afternoon, I decided to give Stingray another try and I was so pleased with my experience. Kristina was absolutely phenomenal and so professional. I am appreciative that Scott and Kristina were so responsive and attentive. I am very happy with my piercing, but far more impressed with the customer service that I received. Five stars across the board!

Kitty Cat

I went to stingray today to get my tongue pierced. I was very impressed by both the atmosphere and the employees. I was helped right away and the lady at the desk was super nice. I filled out the paperwork and handed over my ID. In less than five minutes, I was sitting in the piercer's office with a new tongue ring. The prices are reasonable and the piercer was very informative and friendly. I was most amazed at how spacious and comfortable the waiting area was. I definitely cannot wait to go back!

Will Vesey

Got my first piercing here with Kristina. Spent at most half an hour inside for a walk in appointment, office is comfortable and piercer was professional and understanding. Great experience, will come back here in the future if/when I get another!

Ellen Noonan

Really great experience; terrific vibe overall and Alina is so kind and talented. Will definitely be back!

Ali

My friend and I went to go get our lobes and helixs pierced. We walked into a very welcoming and calm waiting room. Right away we were greeted by a lovely woman at the front desk. She helped us get all of the logistics taken care of for our piercings. After waiting a bit, we got to look at jewelry and were escorted by an employee who gave us a tour. The options were endless!! Once we picked, we waited a few minutes until they were ready to see us. The sterilization process took a good 10 minutes (we were quite happy to know how sterile the tools and jewelry would be). Soon after we got into the room where the piercings would take place. The room was clean, well lit, with lots of sanitary precautions and a biohazard needle container. We felt at ease. At last, we were ready to get pierced. Matteo walked us through the whole process from placement to sanitizing. His calm presence helped reassure us that everything would go as planned. We laid down on the comfortable surface and Matteo explained what he was going to do. We inhaled and exhaled while he inserted the needle through the desired area on our ear. After piercing he explained how to take care of our newly pierced ears, and when to come back to see him. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience at Stingray Body Art & More. The prices were as expected, the facility was clean, and the staff were very welcoming. I would highly recommend Matteo as well as this outstanding establishment to get pierced!

Jessamyn Wallace

All of my piercings (septum, rook, third lobe) that I've gotten in Boston that have NOT gotten infected, I've gotten at Stingray. The piercers here are super nice, too. The prices are really, really solid, especially compared to some of the places in Cambridge. For beginner jewelry & piercings you can expect to pay under $100 for most basic [titanium] face/ear piercings (can't speak to body piercings!). Be prepared to wait a while on the weekends, though.

Victoria Sochor

100% absolutely wonderful piercing experience. I had an idea of the industrial I wanted walking in and the piercer worked with me to make it happen. The staff was super friendly as well! Until now I have only had my lobes done. Real tame. She explained everything and ended up making it a custom pierce unique to me. It was as pain free as a piercing can be, the day after and it only aches a little. Definitely recommend this place and will go back if I find myself looking for more holes!

LE CAMUS Lea

I went there for my first tattoo and I absolutely love it! The people were very nice and professional, the place is very clean and beautiful. I love the result so much (I got it done by Aaron). I'm already planning on booking my next one!

Amy Humber

My 16 year old daughter and I were looking to get pierced, so I decided to give this place a shot as they were the only place around that was open on a Sunday. The man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. He even took the time to walk us over to the extensive jewelry section. I was quite pleased to see the selection and the reasonable prices. There were quite a few customers before us but the piercer, Matteo(hoping I'm spelling it right), introduced himself, asked us a few questions and took a look at our ears. He immediately told me that the piercing I wanted wouldn't be a good idea (daith) because they were too shallow and small. He offered to pierce my rook instead but I was too chicken!! My daughter went through with her piercing (tragus) and he explained everything he was doing step by step and was so gentle that my daughter did not even flinch! And trust me, she was nervous!! He gave us a packet of sea salt and printed aftercare instructions. We'll be returning in approximately 8-12 weeks so that he can switch out her post for a shorter one and by then I think I'll be ready for my piercing ;)

Nicole Frederick

Bradde did an amazing job piercing my sister's and my nose. He was a great conversationalist and very focused on being sterile. The wait time was as expected and we picked out our jewelry then relaxed in their lounge/waiting area. I strongly recommend.

CMZ Pythons

I never give 5 stars but this place earned it. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home. I got my first tattoo here after visiting several other tattoo shops. This one made me feel at home right away and worked with me and stayed very patient when i couldn't make up my mind. Tattoos are greatly priced. I will be back for my next tattoo sad it only goes to 5 stars way to go Devin!! I will be back!

Shirelle Jay

Got my nose pierced here, they were so friendly and helpful. It was simple and NOT too long of a wait time considering it was pretty packed for a Tuesday afternoon. Great staff and artists !

Avery Schneider

Easily the best place I've been to for both tattoos and piercings. the staff is super friendly, they're knowledgeable, and the office is extremely clean. They're pricing is great, and I'd recommend Alastair personally, as his tattoo work is fantastic. If you're anywhere near Allston/Brighton and want body art done, this is *the* place to go, hands down.

Lucille cierri

I have gone to like 4 different places for tattoos, and excuse my language (they sucked) He did a portrait of PRINCE and it came out exactly like the picture...and now he is gonna fix all the mistakes from my other experiences.

Teddy P Cadieux

I got a tattoo from Katie Nowicki a few weeks ago at Stingray and I’m absolutely thrilled with the result. It was my second tattoo; it was a bit detailed and on my ribs, so I was a little apprehensive, but Katie was amazing at making sure it looked beautiful, the placement was right, and she took breaks every once in a while to make sure I wasn’t in too much pain. The tat was very reasonably priced as well! I had a great experience and I’ll definitely be returning!

Moss Cohan-Diaz

Today was my second time at Stingray, and they were beyond phenomenal. I've spent a fair amount of time in body art spaces, and Stingray is among the best: the staff is friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable without being condescending. Their customer service is perfect, and Kristina is a wonder of a piercer.

Mia I

just went to them today they are amazing. It has a nice vibe , great music , comfortable chairs and most of all great customer service the guy who gave me my piercing was amazing so nice and made the experience so comfortable definitely will go back. do I recommend? 100%❤️🙌🏾 P.S I don't write reviews but I just had to show them love for being so awesome.

Christopher Matthews

I have had two tattoos done here. They have done a great job on both. My second tattoo is a memorial tattoo on my chest and the detail in it is amazing. I knew it was going to come out great but my guy really nailed it. Very happy. Will be going back sometime this spring for another tat!! Love it. Thanks Aaron!

Michaela Bennett

The staff were so friendly and thorough in helping us find exactly what we wanted for our piercings! I would definitely go again!

Stephen Baillargeon

Got a walk-in tattoo here on a Saturday and had a great experience. The artists are great, and all of them have portfolios on the website. I'd recommend looking them up, calling ahead to make sure they'll be there, then doing a walk-in on a Saturday and request them. They kinda made me want more tattoos.

McKersin

Best place to get pierced! I'm on piercing 9 with them! About to go for ten!!!! Look for Mateo! He is passionate about his work. Anytime you have questions he'll follow up and make sure you look right. Also a really nice guy!

Catelyne “Cat” Farrell

Devin is the bomb dot com! He just finished a large piece on my arm and I've never been so happy with a tattoo. All the folks who work here are super welcoming and I've loved every trip there :)

Youngjae

Got my septum done and redone here. Also my rook too! Both piercers were great. Wait can be a bit long, I recommend asking how long the wait is in case you are short on time. But nice place for piercings, I prefer it over pino in Inman and I also recommend Chameleon but Chameleon is crazy busier.

Kristin Paciorkowski

Bradde was awesome and did a killer job! I had my nose pierced and he kept it so causal and conversational that there was no stress or pain to speak of! He also made sure I was adequately educated on everything from picking jewelry to after-care. I would definitely recommend!

Bethany Jolly

I've had several piercings done at Stingray, in the past 6 months, and every one of them has been great. On one occasion, Kristina gave me two surface piercings during the same visit, and they have healed beautifully.

Joel L

The wait was a bit much (day before a holiday) I dont blame them. It took me about 10 minutes total to get everything done. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for my new piercing!

Edward Domina

UPDATE #2: Got my third tattoo at Stingray last week and again, a GREAT experience. They are now my Official Go-To folks for ink. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing, please support local Allston/Brighton and stop by Stingray! Peace. UPDATE: Got my second tattoo with Stingray last week and once again, a great experience. The artists & the staff really make you feel at home. I love the tattoo! Some groovy extras at Stingray: the place is full of vintage furniture that is awesome and unique. Also, there's some really great local artwork on the walls for sale. I may go back soon to grab some art...and say hi. If you're thinking about getting some ink, pop over and check them out. Got a new tattoo on Friday the 13th. Great, great place! Friendly, helpful, and caring folks. They’re really fun as well. Will go back and would highly recommend!

Helen Townsend

Very good piercing experience, but be sure to go at a time when it is not busy because it is a first-come first-serve sort of thing so you could end up waiting a whiiillleee. Although the waiting area is very nice and the environment and staff are friendly and welcoming!

Stephanie D Arriaza

I really recommend going to this place, I got my nose pierced for the first time and i was really nervous. Sadly i didn’t get their names but the woman at the front desk was really helpful at telling me it was going to be okay. The girl who pierced my nose was really careful and made it quick and painless. it’s a little expensive BUT totally worth it. i’m definitely going back!

Noemi Cruzado

The place looks awsome and as soon as you come in your helped right away. I went to get a piercing and I was nervous but the piercer was great and fast. I enjoyed the experience and I will definitely go back in the near feature!

Fadiah Walden

The service here is great! Christine was amazing! She explained the entire process before my piercing and explained the pro’s and con’s of other piercings I was interested in. Very professional, personable, and thorough. I definitely recommend this place!

Abigail Martin

I had two pieces done together here by Alastair. I was uneasy because it was in an attempt to encorporate a HUGE quote I got on my bicep. I told Alastair what I wanted but I had no idea how to get it done. He took to the idea and came up with a scenery sketch that was what I had in mind. He courteously explained to me the limitations on tattooing- JUST because you want something doesn't mean it will fit or look good and he was kind enough to explain to me why certain things wouldn't look good over a period of time. I sat with him in two different sessions for a total period of about 8 hours. He used unbelievably vibrant colors in my piece and turned my front side arm into a sun set with the back side into a night scene with a zombie ambling in the midst with a bottle of JD. He was kind and funny, really relaxing and super mindful of my pain limitations. The staff was great. Understand that when you want a tattoo of professional quality, YOU WILL BE SPENDING MONEY. Over a total of about 600 dollars I'm very happy with my piece. The front end was totally up to date with my appointments and reminded me when I had them. The hundred dollar deposit is a great idea. Don't go to Stingray if you're expecting some 10 minutes tattoo for 50 bucks. It's professional quality. The staff there EVEN comped me a bottle of aftercare spray for a piercing done at a nother parlor because she was in shock of how misinformed I was on aftercare. (Septum piercing). This place rocks. I recommend to everyone who understands the concept of true tattooing.

Ryan Marini

Had great walk in service from the front desk, not so great “bedside manner” from the artist. He was, however very professional and quick and likely just doesn’t like walk in day. The place was clean and professional and cute! Plants and unique art everywhere.

Dominiki Kurz

Got my nose pierced. was a bit pricey and there was little information given about aftercare and their hygiene procedures. the piercer was incredibly nice and comforting. offers a student discount which is nice!

Beatriz Andrade

Got my nose pierced there and it was amazing. Very clean. The minimum for tattoos is $100 which is not mentioned on their site, and they have walk-in tattoos on Saturdays.

JESS C

Jess was great 🤩 love the work ! …

Jay A

I went to Stingray with by girlfriend that wanted a piercing, and wound up setting up an appointment for my first tattoo. I got an immediate consultation with Bosco, and we discuseed what I would like. I emailed him some photos and he drew up exactly what I wanted within about 15 minutes. Bosco did a great job, and the estimate was very fair for the quality of work.

The best place in Boston for any piercing need. From jewerly changes to tricky piercings, Stingray can handle it. And they're friendly as all heck to boot! Wouldn't go any where else in the area.

Jacob Keleman

The staff are incredible and made my very first tattoo a breeze! Super inviting place, the artists do great work, and overall just a really good experience!

Alex M

amazin shop, staff is super friendly. just came back from getting my septum pierced and it was quick, easy, and mostly painless lol. definitely would reccomend if youre in the area.

Noor Fairoza

I got my nose pierced here. It was painless. Very clean place and sterile needles were used. Also, good customer service. I recommend them.

Holly Thomas

As a 60 year physician considering a tattoo for the first time (due to a chemotherapy port scar) I took 2 years to actually do it. I am glad that I talked to people and did research because many of the tattoo artists I spoke with before Ray were not as knowledgeable and interested in making sure I would like the end product.

Kim Moroney

Great Place - Highly recommend! Staff is very pleasant and the person who did the piercing was superb ! Will definitely go back if need piercing or tattoo

Elyse Endlich

The piercing attendant was knowledgeable and good at calming down any nervous clients, and the staff are friendly and funny. Definitely go here for all of your piercing needs!

Maddy Hale

Went in on a whim one day and got a navel piercing with a friend. I was helped immediately and the piercer was very friendly. The only downside was that there wasn't a large selection of jewelry and it was a little pricey.

I have gotten 5 tattoos from Bosco Layne he is amazing! 5 stars all day. So sad that he left to Colorado (if you are ever there you need to get a tat from him). As distraught as I was Bosco left he introduced me to his colleague Mat Park. This guy is UNREAL!!!!! The sickest line work, steadiest hands and the most amazing drawings. Such a PRO!!!! You need to get a tat from Mat!!! especially American traditional this guy is an absolute legend. I have nothing but good things to say about Mat park and stingray!! You will not be disappointed!!

Been to this shop over 4 times in the past couple years for tattoo's. Took me a while to notice because I wasnt going nowhere else but they are over priced. They dont give any Lee way with the price. Again I think this place is over rated.

rose prince

No complaints here! Quick, professional Piercing. The jewelry was pricey, but that is because their stuff is high quality and safe- a responsible choice, in my book.

Techa Johnsen

I got a snug piercing here and altough the experience itself was easy and enjoyable, the people were nice and professional and the piercing itself was done well, the jewelry they put in was way to small for a snug and snug piercing always swell which meant the end beads of the jewelry was constantly falling off, I had to go to a different piercer who put in longer jewelry.
