The Black Rose Tattoo Company

LOVED my experience at Black Rose! My friend and I scheduled piercing appointments there, and everything went super smoothly. Brandi had worked with both of us, and she was awesome; very talented, relatable, and professional! I would highly recommend going here for piercings.

I came here with my daughter at the last minute to mark a special mother daughter trip. First and foremost, this is probably one of the cleanest tattoo shops I've ever seen. Bathroom included. And I love the way it's decorated with figures. If you come to this place, you really need to look at the floor (the tiles) and notice how it's decorated with glitter in between each tile. I was received with a warm welcome. The girl at the front desk was knowledgeable and very polite. I met Steve who was kind enough to do a cute little tattoo on myself and One on my daughter without an appointment. I was very grateful for that. He's a really nice guy. He took the time to explain things to me. The picture of the American flag on the forearm is not my tattoo and it's not my arm. However, the tattoo of the crescent moon with Saturn and the moon is my wrist. The butterflies that are colored and shaded are located on my daughter's ankle. Great work! Fantastic, in fact! Price was good and worth it. I would definitely come here again if I'm in this part of town. They also do piercings but I didn't get any of that. Thank you, Steve for everything.

This place was recommended to me by a close friend and I called ahead to organise something very last minute. Steven was kind enough to accomodate me into his schedule considering I only had three days left of my visit to worcester. Steve was very easy to work with and it was wonderful to see him bring the tattoo I have wanted for a while come to life. He was very patient with me, listening to my specifications as he drew up the design which made it a lot easier as I had a few pictures of similar pieces - but wanted certain parts from one or the other. Steve overall made the experience very fun and is great at putting you at ease. He is also very light handed and gentle - so much so I fell asleep in his chair as I was getting an upper hip/lower ribs tattoo. He is very talented and will definitely return for future tattoos when I am visiting.

Dylan did a great job on my wife an my matching tattoos. We get tattoos on all our vacations and ge kept the tradition alive.

I went to get my nose ring removed from work and the piercer (I forgot her name) was so friendly! The place was super clean and cool too! I definitely recommend!💓

Had a great experience with Black Rose today! Dimitri was kind and gave us his full attention. Would definitely return again!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Dimitri getting matching tattoos! Highly recommend him and the Black Rose for your tattoo needs!

I came in and booked three appointments for myself and my two daughter. We came in the next day and were greeted warmly and noticed how busy and alive the Black Rose was, which is a really good sign. Steve took my daughters and I into his room and made us feel comfortable. He engaged and joked with us which again added to the comfort. Steve tattooed the Triple moon goddess symbol on each of us but just in different placements. It was a first experience for one of my daughters. Which by the way she loved it!!! I highly recommend the Black Rose and know we will be back to have Steve work his magic!

Great shop! The owner is really nice and Katy (she did my piercing) was super sweet and cute. 🥰

Review 2/9/24 I consulted with Steve at The Black Rose Tattoo company, Steve took the time with me and explained the cost, realism and to book full day sessions this would be cheaper than hourly. Excited to move forward I booked my appointment for June. As June approached I emailed Steve several times because I did not know what he had planned for a design and I had no response from Steve or the shop. Keep in mind this was after I paid my deposit and my husband also purchased a gift card in May towards the tattoo. 6/20/24 the day of my appointment I arrived at the shop and no one was there. I waited called and Steve answered he said yes they are at the new location and he was running late childcare. We met and Steve did not have my tattoo prepared, no design. We did sit together and came up with a design and rescheduled for July. First session full day Steve left the chair for extended periods of time many interruptions left the shop for an appointment friends hanging around the chair. Session two Steve was late childcare arrived 10:30 appt 9. He was not able to locate my stencils or art and needed to find them. He left the shop again for an extended period of time while I sat in the chair with the inks stencil on my arm. Session 3 same interruptions people hanging around the chair and hardly any communication between Steve and I. Steve told me 2 to 3 more sessions to complete the project but prior to this day he said one more session. I follow many fantastic artists on social media and learned they do realism and their customers were leaving with work completed in a session and I was not. I spoke with a few artists and decided it was within my best interest to not continue with Steve. Had I continued I would not have been able to fix the tattoo or even have it removed. I chose not to show at my last appointment and oddly the shop never called me, Steve never called me to ask where I was. Would I recommend The Black Rose Tattoo NO! Will they say we were under construction moving shops yes. Will they respond that I wanted realism and that this would take multiple sessions yes! I wanted realism however again how is it mine looked a distorted doodle and was not coming together after multiple sessions, keep in mind the full day session is $1,500.00 a day! Will they respond you no showed yup they will but honestly I made that choice! As a professional business owner it is their responsibility to take due diligence and put the customer first. Respond to client’s emails. Be prepared with the work. Take care of your business and personal needs prior to accepting money from a client and scheduling a service that they cannot provide. Red flags were there from day one and I continued to go back I take ownership for this mistake. They should take ownership for taking me for a financial ride to purpose their own financial good. Luckily I found a shop who took this and created a beautiful piece of art. Last comment to this lengthy post I recently attended a tattoo convention and had the pleasure of chatting with one of the judges and prominent artist shop owner in New England, while at dinner. His comment to me blunt and truth do your research before being inked! The judges at the convention were shocked at the prior work and made mention they need re-do contest I would agree. I spent a year hiding my mess something that was special to me in memory of my Dad. Now I walk around proudly displaying my piece people approach me comment gorgeous landscapers comment on the flowers how real they are. and well sorry not sorry The Black Rose Tattoo Company you missed out on doing a beautiful realism full sleeve that is now in the works elsewhere! My recommendation do not go to Steve at The Black Rose Tattoo Company… and do your research before being inked it pays to wait and find the shop and artist who can make you visions come true.
