Visions Tattoo Piercing, and Art Gallery

I’m so happy with my new piercing Angie was awesome explained everything to me and helped me pick a good piece of jewelry also all the girls at front desk were very nice as well will be back again

So I’m not a big Unilocaler and I typically only want to write positive reviews with recommendations but I was really turned off at Visions Tattoo a few weeks ago. I selected Visions based on previous great reviews — maybe I hit them on the wrong day? The building is very cute and inviting. I felt very confident about their cleanliness & sterilization process after poking around. However, with the exception of a very nice younger woman — the staff was very indifferent. I came in with a girlfriend (both of us in our 40s) and it was as if we weren’t young or hip enough for their attention as customers. Really weird vibes. The petite piercer (I missed her name — actually I don’t think she introduced herself) seemed totally put out to have to answer my questions about the jewelry itself. I was going in for a nose piercing — looking for something micro. They seemed to be out of stock of most simple small 1.5 or smaller nose studs (i didn’t want colored stones). This was my first piercing (besides ears) and I had some basic questions about L types, etc & length fit but she seemed super irritated to answer or have to show me any pieces from the case. The place was empty except for the staff huddling around a jewelry sales rep. The piercer’s attention was basically on checking out the cool jewelry samples vs. her own customer. Anyhow, once I got in the room she asked me what side — and I truly wasn’t sure — looking for some guidance as to conventional thinking… and I got a blasé «whatever side you want it on» — uh ok? So I picked my left side & she hastily penciled my nose and told me to lay down (no handheld mirror to double check location, etc). She pierced my nose quickly — did a cursory recital of proper hygiene followup and then of course advised buying their $$ saline, etc product. Anyhow, no problems several weeks later with the piercing itself (actually after I changed out the stud I bought at Visions to a smaller L stud that fit my anatomy better) but their «bedside manner» definitely lacking. I don’t need to make a best friend at a place like this but a smile, a little small talk & some good advice wouldn’t hurt. I definitely left with a bad taste about the experience — and that sort of sucks for both me and the business.

I went this week for a consultation with Taylor about getting a small second tattoo, the same tattoo my uncle had. I went and described the tattoo to Taylor and he very delicately explained to me why this tattoo wasn’t a good idea (it would get blurred, it wasn’t large enough, etc) and that’s why I always go to Visions — because he could have given me a crappy tattoo and I would’ve paid in — then in a few years it would look awful. Instead he took the time to explain what would happen so I could make the best decision possible. He also talked to me about other in memorium tattoo ideas, definitely went above and beyond. I also had another tattoo I needed touched up and he did that, it looks GREAT I’m so glad I went in. Can’t recommend the place enough — especially Taylor!

I brought my daughter their to get her nose pierced yesterday. The facility is immaculate and very nice. The people that work their are very friendly and attentive. They have a very nice selection of body jewelry and a good range of prices. Angie pierced my daughters nose and she was very sweet and extremely professional. She took us into an amazingly clean room which was cleaner than many healthcare facilities I’ve been to. She explained in detail exactly what she was going to do before she started. After she was done she very thoroughly went over aftercare and what to expect in the future with a nose piercing. I would highly recommend Visions and would definitely go back.

Great experience. I’m considered a tattoo collector as I travel to the most interesting shops I can find for the tattoo experience. I personally consider the tattoo itself only 65% of the entire process. Arielle, who tatted me was fabulous. The shop was also spotless! The artwork is beautiful mostly from Canmann, and the service was great, coming from like five sexy tatted up
Pinup chics. Definitely at least go in and check out the paintings!!!

I’m a mom (and a physician). When my 15-​year-​old daughter wanted to get her nose pierced I balked. When finally I agreed, we did our research. Visions came highly recommended and I have not been disappointed. Since that time my daughter has been back for a second ear piercing and, honestly, I wouldn’t allow her to go anywhere else. The staff at Visions is professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring. The facility itself is extraordinarily clean and all sterile procedures are followed.
In fact, when my daughter was out of town and a friend of hers had issues with a piercing performed at another location, they called Visions for advice. I cannot recommend Visions and their staff highly enough!

Love this place for piercings. It’s a clean and extremely friendly environment. Nick did my piercing and he could tell I was nervous so he was talking to me the whole time and distracting me. He made sure they were even and took all the precautions before actually piercing me. It was expensive but honestly worth the experience and I haven’t had any problems with it. They are also good at switching out jewelry. While I’m living in the area I am 100% going here for my piercings.

I have gotten all my piercings done here, as well as one of my tattoos. Taylor Weed did the tattoo, and Nick, who (sadly) I believe has since relocated, did my piercings. Clean, professional, all around great experience every time I go.

I went here about a year ago (a little late on the review I suppose) with my fiancé, who got a jewelry change while I got my ears pierced and stretched. I went over reviews before deciding on Visions because of their Association of Professional Piercers (APP) certification. Our stuff was done by Nicholas Adams, who I think just left Visions. He was excellent, but so was the other staff. Great selection. Very clean, professional, and knowledgeable.

I’ve been (as well as many family members) getting beautiful tattoos from TJ since he started and he’s just awesome! Recently I had Ashley create something to fit into a couple of TJ’s pieces. I couldn’t be happier and love how it all came together.
For me, it’s all about the Artist/​their talent and the beautiful work of art I get to wear; but at Visions, you also get a great environment. Well lit, bright, clean, relaxing and friendly people who love what they do! Looking forward to the next tattoo!

Lucky for everyone local, I hear that Nicholas is sticking around these parts for now! You will still find him at the studio.

I came in with a friend to get her lower belly button pierced and also to change my spetum ring because the one I had was too big and hanged very low. I was examined by Nicholas and turns out my original piercer pierced below my sweet spot. It was removed so I could come back in to get it re-​pierced after it healed. I got it re-​done by Nicholas and I couldn’t be happier, he’s helpful, professional and knowledgable. The place is also very clean and sanitized with tons of jewelry to choose from. The front desk receptionist is very nice too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a piercing in the future.

I just HAD to go back a few short days after getting my forward helix done because I wanted to get another piercing. I ended up getting my cartilage done because unfortunately I don’t have anymore space for another forward helix. Anyway, I went with a really sweet threaded end piece by Anatometal from their new Sabrina collection. cast in 18 k yellow gold with a gemstone in it. I love the jewelry so much here & the fact that Vision’s will custom order for you too!

I came to this place for my first tattoo thinking it was the best around, but I was wrong. I wanted simple script and the staff was very difficult with what I wanted and only wanted to do big bold script. They did not work with me at all and after I came back to see what they had drawn up, it was completely not what I asked for. Since I already payed the $ 100 deposit I gave in and it took a while to get something I even remotely liked. They would only do one font, which wasn’t the one I wanted. After all of this the artist ended up BLOWING OUT my tattoo. Now I have to find somewhere else to get it fixed. I am extremely disappointed especially since this was my first tattoo.

I just got back from getting inked by the fabulous Ariel, and I have nothing but good things to say. I’ve been pierced several times at Visions as well, and it’s always a clean, professional environment that knows what it’s doing.
Ariel was the perfect artist for me — it’s like they knew that when they paired me with her. Together we designed a fantastic medium-​sized cover-​up tattoo (well, I told her what I wanted, and she designed, beautifully).
The Visions system does take a little longer to get your tattoo than if you were to just walk into a place — they have you meet your artist, you design together, you wait for the artist to finalize a design, you approve the design, and after that, you schedule your appointment to get inked. From the time I made my design appointment to the time I actually got my ink was a little under two months, because they are popular and busy! However, the quality of the art and the artists are worth it.
The tattoo itself was a long process, six hours, but Ariel is friendly, fun, and talkative and makes the time go by well. She never seemed irritated it was taking so long, and wasn’t annoyed when by the end I started to get sensitive and (admittedly) a bit teary. She also had no problem when I needed to take breaks, and was so professional yet incredibly chill and easygoing. She made me feel so at home and comfortable during my entire time there — we would talk about literally everything! She also knows everything there is to know about healing and aftercare and makes sure you leave knowing exactly what you need to do.
If you want a professional, clean, personable tattoo parlor that doesn’t just do tattoos and piercings but also makes art, Visions is the place to go. My tattoo isn’t just a tattoo, it’s a work of art that I can’t stop looking at.
Thank you Ariel! :)

I just recently (March 2014) got a forward helix piercing here. I agree 100% that the shop is very clean and the staff is very focused on keeping it so. Angela and Canman were very professional and friendly.
My main complaint was with the piercer, Nicholas. I mentioned that I wanted a hoop, instead of stud, and he told me right out that I had to get a stud. I also mentioned that I was concerned about how much my ear would swell and that I wanted to make sure there was enough room with the jewelry to accomodate. He assured me that would not be an issue. However, I’ve been having occasional problems with exactly that, especially in the beginning. My ear swelled and the jewelry literally had no room to move. There was a day when it looked like the back of the jewelry would get enclosed by my ear due to the swelling. I’ve been monitoring it closely and thankfully the swelling has gone down enough to avoid having to go back to the shop to have them look at/​replace the stud.
While I am enjoying the piercing and I think the shop itself seems great, I can’t say that I’ll be going back here when I decide on my next piercing.

I had always wanted a tattoo but one that was unique and done by someone I knew and trusted. We had the pleasure of meeting CanMan and Angela when they were in our town for a convention and we just saw what good people they are straight away. So naturally, when we went up to the Boston area for a wedding, we HAD to go check out their shop. I told CanMan what I was looking for in a medium sized celtic trinity knot and he drew up a beautiful design prior to our arrival.
The shop is UH-​mazing. It is so much more than just a tattoo shop. It is truly a place where art, in all forms, lives. And it is in this cool old house on peaceful, scenic grounds. Not your typical tattoo/​piercing shop by any means.
So the tattoo process itself… I do not have a very high pain threshold. But CanMan and Angela were so calming with their demeanor and seemed to be completely «tuned in» to what I was experiencing. He knew just when to take a quick break and reminded me to breathe (kinda important!). He had just the right music and atmosphere to make me comfortable.
The finished product. gorgeous! It is not in a place that is often seen by the public but when I do show it to someone they are amazed at the colors and clarity and beauty.
The only reason I do not have a 2^nd tattoo now is because I haven’t been able to get back to Boston to visit Visions. CanMan is my tattoo man, period. He should be yours too!

I just completed my first piece from Visions and specifically worked with Ariel. There is not enough good things to say about everyone there. I have gone to many tattoo shops and by far the cleanest and most professional has been Visions. Everything from the initial consultation to setting the appointments and following through as scheduled was handled professionally.
Working with Ariel was also incredible, not only is she extremely talented as a artist, she really listens to what you are looking for and works to make sure you are getting what you want. Not only that but the 8 hours that I sat for the actually work to be done was by far the most entertaining time I have spent getting tattoos. Ariel has tremendous passion for what she does and it shows with how she works and how she talks about it.
Having Visions under 5 minutes from house is incredible and we are already working on the next piece! I would recommend Visions and Ariel to anyone who is serious about getting a tattoo and wants to have quality professional work done.

Five stars all the way!
Craig at Visions was so professional and clean. I get compliments on my tattoo all the time. He is 100% reasonable with his prices and the quality is unsurpassed.
The studio is immaculate and everyone is super friendly and professional. I would not go anywhere else. I will definitely be getting my next tattoo from Visions!

A group of us attended the 6^th Annual Halloween Bash last night at Visions Tattoo in Medway. Awesome time had by a couple of hundred of people in a vast array of some of the best costumes ever worn! People really took this seriously, there’s nothing worse than going to a costume party just to see people who don’t dress up… there was a contest as well, and 1^st prize was a $ 200 tattoo done by the owner of Visions himself, Can Man…
Onto entertainment… There were two bands, fire eaters/​dancers, and they brought infrom New York City Mini Michael Jackson and Mini Paul Stanley from KISS to perform! Most of the event was outside, under a huge, heated tent, equipped with a stage and very decent sound system.
The best part???
This event was FREE for anyone over 21!!! It was BYOB, but they provided a bunch of food, hot and cold, plus a ton of desserts, water, non-​alcoholic bev’s, etc… It started at 5 and when we left after 12 AM the party was still in full force. I was VERY impressed with the shin-​dig that was thrown by Artist/​Owner CanMan and his wife Angela.
I’m waiting for the pics to upload on their website, they hired two professional photogs to take pics of everyone… a really well organized and executed event. Thanks for having me, and already looking forward to next year’s gig, lucky #7!
Thanks again, Visions!
