The bigger the city, the greater number of options for tattoo artists. And with the size of Boston, the amount of artists is endless. Hopefully, this list can help you when planning for your next ink. Here are some tattoo artist recommendations in Boston.
Hailing from Boston Tattoo Co. Somerville, Williams’ illustrative work has a magical feel to it. Her flora-fauna-animal pieces have a story-book atmosphere, but her florals are impeccably realistic. Although you’ll see a lot of flowers, Williams’ portfolio is incredibly diverse. Her work also encompasses traditional, dotwork, black-and-white and colorful style. This is one of the best tattoo artist recommendations in Boston!
The description Medeiros provides for her work encompasses her whole portfolio: “fine lined, vintage inspired, portrait, botanical, medieval and macabre/occult illustration, with a preference for intricate, etching-inspired linework black and grey shading, and dotwork/stippling.” Her female faces have an ethereal quality to them, and seem to evoke a feeling of tranquility. Medeiros’ floral work also stands out due to its delicate shading and harmony within the piece.
This artists’ American traditional work stands out in color, quality of lines and composition. Johannes’ pieces stay in the range of what encompasses American traditional, but he plays around with the rules. You’ll find babushkas and Childish Gambino lyrics among his work, as well as a fair share of roses and panthers.
Full disclosure: I got a tattoo from Elize and this artist knows what she is doing. Her work ranges from beautiful botanical illustrations to delicate animals to celestial beings. Not only is Elize kind, but her work is beyond gorgeous. I can’t recommend her enough to people as her style is incredible.
Holler’s work portrays the beauty of nature. From their gentle animal pieces to floral bundles, the simple beauty is translated through precise dotwork and thin lines. Their portfolio has just about everything imaginable in their style, which shows a beautiful sense of translation into the artists’ own vision.
Longhaul’s work, to me, belongs on the body as well as in children’s storybooks, in the best way possible. In the precise manner that vintage storybook illustrations portrayed nature scenes, Longhaul replicates this onto the body as if crafting her own story through ink on the medium of skin. Nature and surrealism blend together into the perfect combination of black-and-white pieces.
