Piercing near Cambridge

“I recently had the privilege of having Chris Reilly (@reillyinks) as my artist at Chameleon Tattoo in Union Square, Somerville. I was finally ready to get my full sleeve and came in with a mock up that looked a little crazy, but had a ton of meaning for me. During my consult, we discussed my vision and he showed me some ideas he had. His energy was solid. Made me feel comfortable and relaxed every time I came in. Always positive and patient. Shop was exceptionally clean and the vibe was super chill. More than exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail was impeccable. Linework and shading were clean, smooth, ... flawless. I literally can stare at my arm all day, it's that stunning. He is an incredibly talented artist, refreshingly humble, and I am super grateful for all the time and energy he spent with me. Pleasure to work with and would highly recommend.“

“I have gone to Lucky's Cambridge a few times for various piercing projects and have had positive experiences every time.

Keith pierced my double brow in December when he was apprenticing. This was an important piercing for me as it has given me a great deal of gender euphoria around my face. It's healed wonderfully. He was very thoughtful and intentional in his process of lining up both sets of holes before piercing, and verbally walked me through the entire process with him as he went along. Everything is perfectly aligned just as I'd hoped. Healing was uneventful. And I've since had the barbels sized down (also at Lucky's though I forget the piercer's name!)

I went for my triangle yesterday and had an excellent experience working with Lars. Their process seems trauma-informed and centers consent, communication, and comfort. There was ample space made for me to ask and have questions answered. And I felt assured of my agency throughout the process. I was comfortable advocating for myself and I had an active role in my own piercing. It wasn't just something being done to me. Lars was considerate and used respectful language and professional touch around my unique anatomy. I knew I was in good hands! She made sure I had all the information I needed and gave me some invaluable advice along with extra supplies to help me care for my new piercing.

I would recommend working with Lars if you're a queer or trans individual considering a gender affirming genital -or other body- piercing. He made my session comfortable and accessible. I've been wanting this piercing for a good while. The placement was very carefully aligned and looking at it now, I'm happy with how it sits on my body. I'm excited to start the healing process and eventually my stretching journey.

Thank you Keith and Lars for the work you're doing.“

“I brought my 16 year old son in to get his ears pierced and they treated us like royalty. Everyone in the shop was so nice and professional. China was our piercer, he made my son feel comfortable and did a great, clean, professional job piercing my son's ears. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back for more work.“

“If you're looking to get a painless belly button piercing, go here. I got one this morning and it was so quick. He was seriously so nice and did my piercing so straight and exactly how i imagined it to look. He had other clients coming in for tattoos and they just simply looked amazing. Whenever i decide to get a tattoo or another piercing, I'm coming here like no doubt.“

“I saw Abel for my first ever tattoo and it was such a great experience. He made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it. I saw his instagram account and knew that he was the artist for me for lettering on my chest. His attention to detail and his friendly personality has me already to get another. I would recommend Abel to anyone looking for top notch lettering.“
