Had my yearly ear piercing. Great guy. The right amount of pain and I get jewelry to boot.

Tattoo healed bad plus they brush you away when trying to get the free touch up which is promised after you get a tattoo...

Susan Gomes

I just recently got a tattoo on my foot and had Shayna do it. She was fantastic!! I loved my tattoo, I'm an artist so I drew up my tattoo and she did it. She recommended placement and I loved it. No idea who people are talking about at the front desk of being rude but I've been in there several times and never had an issue. I did go in as a walk in and ended up coming back a couple times because of time issues which was fine. Some tattoos are more time consuming than others. I'll definitely go back to Shayna in the future. My second tattoo I had to wait for the guy to come in then get set up which I wasn't happy about. Waited 40 minutes for him to start. The tattoo, again my design, came out great I love it but I wish he was on time since I had other appts that day to get to and it put me very behind but I wanted my tattoo. LOL! I'll wait next time for Shayna tho she was amazing and funny and very personable and on time. They are a bit pricey but well worth it.

Very expensive

Robert Labreck

John and the team are great. Clean shop with talented artists. Never disappointed

Lindsey Phillips

Their all rude and they told us they could take walk ins over the phone. We drove 50 min and we go in and they said they wouldn't have time to do a simple flower and they closed in 4 hours... The guy who answered the phone was rolling his eyes. Don't go there

Joe Orlando

Pretty gnarly environment, employees are too cool to be called employees, more like party members!!!

Nicole Baez

I have mixed feelings about my experience...On March 11th My mother and I went for our first tattoos..ever! DO NOT GO TO JASON...The tattoo artist we were appointed to was Jason. When he called us in he didn't even greet us, we had to introduce ourselves. I told him that it was our first tattoo experience which he totally dismissed. Not only that he had the strongest body odor. I could go on but I really want to keep this short just do not go to JASON. After enduring so much rudeness and smell of B.O. we had to walk out of getting the tattoo...we went to the front desk and we let them know our experience and they were able to give us another artist who was just AWESOME. He was courteous,nice and really took the time to explain what he was doing. His name is STEVE, i recommend him! Loved the experience with him and loved our tattoos! The store took the time to apologize and really turned the experience around.

My cousin Steve Faherty does fantastic work here. His wisdom n experience shine through. Highly recommended by me is the entire staff of Rte 9 Tattoo&Piercing in Framingham give them a call for appointment and any concerns you may have. Great Shop/Studio.

Don’t come here for ear piercings. They Only use hoops and not studs which caused issues with healing and resulting in the piercings being closed. Also twice the price of many places. They are very clean otherwise which is why I gave them two stars

Eric DiPietrantonio

I cannot say enough positive thing about this place. Italo Nanais is an amazing portrait tattoo artist. I am 60 and this was my first tattoo. It is of my Dad who I was very close to. I search for a portrait artist and found one at Rt9 Tattoo. John the owner is kind and considerate to his customers. I highly recommend any one, any age going there. You will have a great experience.

Bart Mullen

Great staff, incredible artists.

Chris Wickson

My slipknot and stone sour tattoos. They are great people. Will always go there. Minero you're the best! Cant wait for next appointment and today i just walked in and they took care of me!

pamela ross

I just got a tattoo for autism tonight. Andre did it and it is amazingly beautiful!!! They were very professional and friendly!! I couldnt ask for a better experience!! I highly recommend this shop and especially Andre!!

sharol Franco

very bad customer service! i went in there with a tattoo in mind and the guy that spoke to me said that it wouldnt go with me that it was too hard to do blah blah blah.they were not what a tattoo parlor should be like friendly and put customers first.i do not recoomend this place for noone ...like some people say u get what u pay for! it may be cheap but there ink is crap and fades away

G Kos

This is a customer service rating only since the shop never got our business. I would rate it a zero if not for the extremely courteous young woman at the front desk. A friend referred us to this shop, and specifically Natalia, however she was not available for a few weeks. We tried to talk to Jason but he had no interest whatsoever and seemed completely irritated that we were taking up his time. He did let us know that he had been doing this for 20 years. Maybe it was just a bad day but now I see several prior similar comments. In any event, the shop lost 2 or maybe 3 customers today based on first impressions.

Anna Piccioli

Rob is the guy to see for any piercing. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Carreiro Family

Clean, sexy shop with the right space and vibe. In and out with a brand new daith piercing and perfect instructions. 6 weeks out, looking good.

Prior to my most recent visit to Route 9 Tattoo, I had 5 of my 6 other tattoos done at other studios. While I haven't had a bad experience at any of the other studios, this most recent visit to Route 9 has me convinced that all of my future tattoo work will be done here. I will detail the reasons why my experience here was so positive by breaking it out: Easy Process: I initially send a message in via Facebook to get an idea for how to approach a consult. All of my other tattoos are relatively small and haven't required much pre-work or discussion, but this project was much different. Someone got back to me in a matter of hours and very clearly explained to me what to do. I stopped by the shop one night when the artist that I wanted to work with (Natalia) was there. I spoke to her briefly and explained my idea. She let me know what timing would be good and how long to book an appointment for. She also explained that we would work out the details via text as we got closer to the date. Finalizing the Design: I sent reference photos and details/meaning to Natalia via text. She replied with a couple of drawings and some follow up questions. We very quickly and very easily came to a final design that literally made my heart skip a beat when I saw it. The Tattoo: Natalia made the entire experience enjoyable, comfortable, and easy. I was at the shop pretty much all day, but it flew by. Throughout the experience I saw that the shop is clean, everyone is professional, and they're dedicated to giving their clients a great experience and a beautiful tattoo. They care about their art and the people that they're working with on it. Overall, I highly recommend Route 9 Tattoo and I also recommend Natalia as an artist. I reviewed the work of all of the artists there and they are all incredibly talented people, so you can't go wrong there, but Natalia is amazing. She also clearly communicated the care of my tattoo and when to stop back in for her to see how it heals and what to expect from any next steps that we may need to take (touch up, etc).

This place is cool and accommodating. Went there on short time as a walk in, and the staff were very helpful. Natalia did my daughter's tattoo. She's an amazing artist. Coming back for more to say the least. Great place. Thank you Natalia and crew!

James McGaffigan

My new place. Love it there.

Okay so let me explain my horrible experience at this so called tattoo parlor!. I went in excited about getting a tatt talking about different ideas was indecisive about what I wanted but figure they could help me out cause there artist and that's what artist do artist help bring images to real life! well nope not them the sabotage them! I finally came to an idea of what I wanted but not once did this guy Jason make me feel comfortable about getting it done he was very rude started insulting my chest tattoo but thought maybe he had a weird sense of humor so I just ignored him but anyways long story short I paid $200 for a diamond tatt that was very simple after he was done looked like a street tatt the worth $50!!!!!the guy that did my tattoo was named Jason and he shoul bE ashamed of himself talking bout he's a artist for 20 years more like 20 days I wish I could upload a pic on here so everyone can see the work he did! this something I have to live with on my body forever I was stupid to go along with it but he did not put no effort no thought no compassion he hurt me like hell and felt no remorse I kept saying he was hurting me and was like I'm bout go up on a price like you gotta be kidding me I was treated like an animal I cried and cried cause I allowed for a situation like this to happen to me and didn't realize till I got home cause I kept thinking about it over and over and just thought it was me and was in denial lastly I realized how My tattoo was wrapped in just plastics with blood dripping down my neck he didn't even bother putting in a gauze but I will never recommend this place and never return there they can have the chump change they got from me I hope noone ever has to experience a horrible service like I did!!!!!!!!!

Ryan Figueroa

The guys here did my girlfriends lying tattoo and it came out great. Very experienced guys.

Julia Dufault

Natalia was recommended to me by a friend, so I called to set up a time to meet and talk with her about some ideas. She was very nice when we met and I was super excited to work with her. I needed an artist to draw my tattoo as it was a large back piece. We looked at some pictures and talked about ideas. She gave me contact info and asked that I email her the pictures so she could have them to look at. She said give her a week. She replied when I sent her the pictures so I know I had the right email. Two weeks later I sent her an email after having not heard anything, and one week after that I sent her one more. I never heard from her. Very VERY disappointing.

Ali Callahan

Very friendly and professional! The work is amazing and the environment is clean. what more can you ask for?!

Hanan Abdallah

Andrew Morin

elizabeth guzman

They are very professional. They do amazing work my boyfriend and his brother went there and they are both getting arm done from different people. Both look so great. They can't wait till it's finished and then they will do there other one.

Megan Woodworth

I have been here twice before for piercings. Many of my friends have gone here for tattoos and piercings. The staff is very professional and extremely prompt. I was in a out in a total of fifteen minutes both times I got my helix pierced. They have competitive pricing and a very calm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend it!!

Mich aela

Absolutely terrible costumer service. When I first walked in, I asked for an available artist to do a sit down and talk about my tattoo. Instead I ended up talking to the receptionist, who not only didn't even call the artist for me, but was UNBELIEVABLY rude as well. When I explained what I wanted, he shot down every thought I had and told me the piece I wanted was impossible to do. Then after some further explaining, he tells me it'll $300 to get work done to me. Yah, right. I got a quote on my piece from three other shops and all of them were in the $150 range. I won't be coming here again. Overpriced, terrible service, and terrible staff.

barbara towle

I've had nothing short of excellence from Rt. 9 Tattoo, Amazing tat artists, Friendly staff, Always a great experience !!!

john Azar

I got three of my several tattoos done there and, I've had terrific service every time. Jason tattooed me and, they came out just the way we drew them up. Honestly don't know how people could knock this parlor or the employees...they've treated myself and everyone I've recommended to go there with respect and made our tattoo experience pleasant.

Love It

Went with my niece and nephew to get their first tattoos. Professional and knowledgeable staff with clean work environment. Comfortable atmosphere, and even though it is on the pricey side, you get what you pay for.

Dawn Fairbanks

Absolutely love going here. Steve does my tattoos and they always come out perfect. Great place with lots of friendly people to help you out. Jon runs an absolutely amazing shop!!

Eric Vinith Menezes

Personally They Did A great job n prices were some what high but with high prices comes good quality i am satisfied with tatto n they did a great job with keeping clean utensils n equipment.

Bill FitzPatrick

A friendly atmosphere with a talented staff, if you have reasonable expectations and know the tattooing process, you will certainly not be disappointed at Route 9 Tattoo.

Michelle Harrington

I had a great experience at Rt 9 tattoo. I was booked for a consult with Andre. After looking at my design, he felt it was not something he could do. He asked 2 other artists if they could, and they could not. He explained clearly to me what their concern was with the design and recommended someone who might be able to. These are true professionals, who are not tattooing just for money. They are artists who consider the design and if their skillset matches what you are looking for. Highly recommend.

Alexandria Goff

I took my daughter (7) to get her ears pierced.. idk his name bit he was amazing.. we spent a good 4 hours in there (my daughter was not 100% about ear number 2) he was so calm and understanding.. she left with just 1 ear done but hey I know where to go when my daughter decides ear number 2 is worth it...

Deneen Gray

I have had 4 piercings there no problems.

Ali Luchino

The crew was awesome. They took great care of us, made us feel at home. Our tats were beyond what we could've expected.

Jay T

I can't say enough good things about the artist who tattooed me and the staff at rt9. Natalia is the most amazing artist she did a really intricate piece to perfection I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Natalia and staff! I will definitely be back for more:)
