Where is the Best Place in Boston To get piercings and/or Tattoos?

Question

I'm interested in getting my nipple pierced. I want to know where is the Best place to get it done in Boston and on average how much does it cost. I might also want to get a tattoo. Is there a good place in Boston that does both?

Answer 1

Please consider:
Tattooing has been banned in some states for health and safety reasons. Unsterile tattooing equipment can transmit infections, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and even HIV. The risk is so significant that the American Association of Blood Banks requires a one-year wait between getting a tattoo and donating blood.

Q: What signs of infection should someone who has been tattooed watch for?
A: Increased pain, tenderness, swelling, heat around the tattoo site, red streaks, pus, swollen lymph nodes - all of these are signs that you need to see a doctor for antibiotics.

Q: What other risks are involved?
A: You could get granulomas, little nodules that can form around the tattoo, or keloid scar formation. Some people are prone to developing these keloid scars, which grow beyond the boundary of the tattoo. Granulomas and keloids are permanent unless you have them surgically removed.

Also, allergic reactions, although rare, can happen.
