Mark helped me refine and perfect a design I had in mind for a small fine line tattoo. He listened to what I wanted, offered suggestions to help maintain the integrity of the tattoo over time, and revised the design quickly. He was super patient as I figured out the exact placement of the tattoo and made me feel very comfortable. Would definitely recommend his services!
is a true artist! He does fantastic realism work! Had a great experience getting a tattoo from Mark. Very communicative during the planning stages and helping me schedule. During the appointment I felt comfortable with the process and in the shop. Not only that but I got a super sick tattoo, exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you!
I worked with Mark on a tattoo sleeve and it turned out absolutely incredible. This was my first time getting tattooed and he was incredibly professional, helped work through and bring my ideas to life and also worked extremely efficiently. Not to mention he is extremely talented.
Mark is the best tattoo artist around. I was one of Mark’s first customers when he started out and he’s become one of the best tattoo artists in Boston. This is my 5th tattoo with Mark, and I’m always delighted with his service and artistry. He always takes his time and creates the most amazing pieces. If you’re looking in Boston for a tattoo, consider Mark and his team at Back Bay!
Mark is a true artist! He does fantastic realism work! The photos speak for themselves! Mark is very patient and thorough. The shop is very clean and Mark operates in a clean and professional manner. I gave Mark creative control of my tattoo, all I suggested was dark/scenic/realism and he CRUSHED it. If you have your heart set on certain designs, he will never try to change your push you in a direction that doesn't suit your desire. This is hands down the best artist in the city. Communication from first meeting, to design, to each session scheduling, to after care has been incredible. I have never had such luck with any other artist. I have about 12hrs of work at Back Bay Ink and have more to go, look forward to my next appt! This is a TRUE artist and a prime example of what a tattoo shop should be!
