This is my first time coming to a tattoo shop in Massachusetts. Vu was incredible. Very nice, and handle our matching tattoos easily! Not only was he quick but the work is stunning. He gave us a very easy to follow aftercare and tattoo balm to use after! Played nice relaxing music as he worked and was able to accommodate all of our tattooing needs! My wife and I are very happy with how the tattoos came out! I will be coming back to get more work done in the future!

I went to Boston with some friends just to see the city, and me and a friend scheduled appointments for the 31st. I had an idea of a tattoo and Ryan was able to capture what I wanted so easily. He was courteous and very professional and kind. Since it was my first tattoo I wS nervous at first but once the process started I was completely at ease. Would definitely come back to Boston for another tattoo.

I went to the South Bay location and my artist was Thu phuket. I wanted to elevate my arm tattoo with hibiscus flowers to start my upper-arm sleeve, and she did an amazing job. We had an in-person consultation, and she was able to come up with the best design for me. The process was overall informative, neat, and comfortable. I would definitely go back to her for another tattoo. Thank you Thu!

Holistic ink was recommended to me by a friend. I have had prior tattoos done but nothing like actually having a consultation with an artist and looking at their work and having them create a vision of what I had in mind. Thu was AMAZING, kind and overall patient with an indecisive person as myself. I am 4 days out of having it done and there is no swelling it looks like it has always been there. Her vision for color especially on brown skin was perfection! I trusted her with the type of lines that would look best and how to position my Coqui frog and bring it to life. She is extremely talented, dedicated and it shows in her work. I am beyond grateful. I sing her praises to anyone that asks and hears.

Set up an appointment with Vu for a tattoo. Did a consultation on what I was looking for, and he nailed the design. On the day of my tattoo, he showed me the stencil and we tried the placement before starting. Once we started, you could slowly see it coming together beautifully. He was dedicated and focused on giving me a great piece. The finished product looks amazing, and the detail and care he put into the tattoo is reflective of the great work he does.
