Pricing & Policies

We will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18, no exceptions! It is against the law in the State of Massachusetts.

A minimum of a $40.00 deposit is required to hold a tattoo appointment. We will not schedule the appointment until the deposit is paid (cash, credit or debit). Checks are not accepted. The deposit will be credited towards your tattoo.
We do not schedule appointments or provide price quotes over the phone or via email.
Our custom hourly rate is $125.00, however; tattoos are also priced by the piece.
Deposits for custom work are non-refundable. Your deposit will still be deducted from your tattoo total if you are rescheduling your appointment and give at least 48 hours notice. Any other circumstances will result in the forfeiture of the deposit (cancellation, no show, etc.).
A valid photo ID must be presented at the time of your appointment in order to be tattooed. (A valid photo ID is a driver's license, passport, state issued identification card or military ID. Photocopies of any ID or expired ID's are not acceptable).

PIERCING MINORS:
Without exception, we WILL NOT pierce anyone under 18 without a parent or legal guardian present with the minor to sign the release form.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason! We will not pierce anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you are under the age of 18, your parent MUST supply a valid photo ID* and the minor's birth certificate. If the parents last name and/or address is different from the minor's, there must be legal documentation to prove the relationship (divorce papers, adoption papers, marriage certificate).

Court papers are required to prove a relationship with a legal guardian.

*A valid photo ID is a driver's license, passport, state issued identification card or military ID. Photocopies of any ID or expired ID's are not acceptable.

The State of Massachusetts does not specify minimum age requirements for piercings with the exception of nipples and genitals. However; we at Visions believe that there should be a minimum age requirement for certain piercings. Please keep in mind, that it is at the piercer's sole discretion whether or not to do the piercing after speaking with the minor and the parent. Things that will be considered are the minor's lifestyle, maturity to care for the piercing themselves and attitude. Below are the age minimums for the following piercings:

Ear Lobes:
As long as the minor wants the piercing and has parents consent. We do not pierce babies or small children.

All other piercings:
13 years of age or older with parents consent and with piercer's discretion.

Oral (tongue, lip, labret, monroe etc.):
14 years of age with parents consent and with piercer's discretion.

You must be 18 to receive the following piercings. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Nipples
Genitals
