Chameleon Tattoo & Body Piercing

Owen Beane is awesome and I would highly recommend him. He explained step by step of the process in doing my nipple piercing. Owen is knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. He is friendly, welcoming, and a good listener. Owen helped me by doing a breathing technique together to reduce my anxiety. Also, front desk receptionist is nice, too.

Received very pleasant and professional service here a few weeks ago! I went in for a helix piercing, and was really happy with James. He was friendly, provided me with exactly what I was looking for, gave good advice about the piercing itself (location, etc) and about cleaning and prevention against infection etc. Loved my experience here and continue to be happy with the result.

Got my first set of non-ear piercings. Owen was very professional and gave great tips and directions for aftercare. If I decide I any other piercings I will return! The space was super clean and private located in the garage at Harvard Square. Awesome spot!

I cannot thank the team at Chameleon enough for creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Hannah answered all of my questions over the phone, and chatted with me while I nervously awaited my appointment time. She and James were 100% in sync, and the hand-off was seamless.

James was incredibly polite and thoughtful in his explanations, and the piercing itself was very quick (septum). He took the time to teach me how to flip the ring up for work, and gave me tip & tricks to get it back down without much fuss. If you have any concerns about getting a piercing, James will take care of you.

Top quality service from genuine people. Doesn't get much better.

They're a bit slow to greet people as you walk through the door, but once they do, they're super friendly and helpful! I went for an earring change (two forward helixes) and the person who helped was wonderful and patient as I chose the earring I wanted. He even tried to save me some money by reusing the backs I had already, but unfortunately the backs I had were not compatible with the jewelry that he had. I would definitely come back here if I needed more earrings changed!

Always the perfect balance of professional and laid back! Owen is the absolute best piercer on the planet- his favourite clients are when parents bring their kids in since it means they won't be getting pierced with guns, and it shows with how calming and encouraging he is when he pierces!

The staff is fantastic at answering any and all questions without being condescending. They do go by a walk-in basis and fill up quickly after 12, but that's only because they don't want to rush the piercers, which I appreciate, it also gives more time for the client to learn about their piercing and have any and every question answered!

All in all, amazing place. I got my ear lobe piercings fixed after they were botched in a mall when I was 12, and I've gotten other piercings from there ever since.

Owen is the best piercer I've found. I keep coming back even when I'm not living in-state. His "bedside manner" is professional, informative and personable. Always open to answer any questions. I have gotten my nostril, septum, double helix, and conch done with more ear piercings to come. Would not go anywhere else, if I can help it. Highly recommend.

This place is hands down one of the best places to go for tattoos! My best friend and I went for walk-ins one night for her birthday and the staff was super friendly and chill. Mike was my artist and he did an INCREDIBLE job! I showed him the basics of what I wanted and asked him to run free with the idea to make it pretty. He went all out and it came out so beautiful! Definitely favorite tattoo to date! This piece was also cheaper than a smaller tattoo that I had done at a different shop! All around, I had an excellent experience, Mike did an AMAZING job, and I definitely plan on going back for another tattoo!

The guy who pierced my ears was nice but not super friendly. He was only interested in piercing my ears and not making making me feel comfortable. My ears were also bruised for weeks after the piercing too, which never happened in other places (his hands were too harsh). The earrings are also way too expensive and over priced and my piercings kept getting infected where the ones I got at other shops healed fine.

I went to get my ears pierced and it barely hurt. James was very nice and if I go to a place again it'll probably be here. The decorations in the place are lovely and people in the front are welcoming too.
