If there was a way to give them ten stars I would. Everyone who works here is courteous and respectful. The best experience in a tattoo parlor by far. The entire place is exceptionally clean and none of the artists are careless, wreckless, or otherwise negligent in their duty to the public.
Lou has done several of my tattoos and I plan to keep going to him for as long as possible. He is an amazing person, phenomenal artist, and wicked smaht.
As far as pricing goes - you get what you pay for. They are very reasonable when it comes to costs and time especially considering that when you're finally done you end up with a masterpiece.
As for some other comments, there's a sign - in plain English - that says all deposits are non-refundable, you're told that on the phone too. I've never been to a tattoo parlor that will return a deposit. The deposit is a security not just for you the patron but the artist as well. Their time is money. If they get shafted out of a client that means they don't make the money that they reasonably relied on to have made. That means that maybe their rent won't get paid because you overbooked yourself. Tattoo artists are people too and tattoos are literally their livelihood. Please respect them.
Thank you all for being...
Read moreMy wife and I walked into Clockwork Tattoo and Art Gallery in Southbridge for the first time today, and we were incredibly impressed. The shop is super nice—beautiful floors, super clean, and has a stylish, welcoming vibe. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a friendly and professional attitude that carried through the entire experience.
My wife was able to get tattooed just a few hours later, which was an unexpected but awesome surprise. She got our dog's name and our wedding anniversary date tattooed on either side of her temple. Script tattoos might seem simple, but we've both had bad experiences with uneven, hard-to-read script in the past. That was NOT the case here—the artist did a phenomenal job. The lines are clean, the lettering is balanced and totally legible, and he had such a soft hand that even getting tattooed on the face wasn’t too painful.
We're super happy with the result and absolutely plan to return. Highly recommend Clockwork to anyone looking for quality work in a great...
Read moreGot my first tattoo here for my 18th birthday by John, and then one more recently by Ramon. 10/10, for both of them. Everyone here is super nice in general, but when you walk in the door, it's just all good vibes. You can tell they're authentically great people. My first tattoo, I would've been really nervous for, but John was super knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. My sister came with me so they chatted while I had the tattoo done (sternum tattoo so I wasn't talking, I was more focused on breathing 😂). The more recent one, my best friend and I did a walk-in to get matching tattoos. Ramon took our idea and drew up a few ideas, and the three of us worked together to get the final design, which we both loved. Not once did either of us feel pressured to say we liked the other designs, and he was super chill to hang out and converse with while we got our tattoos. 100/10, if you decide to go elsewhere for...
