Black Hydra Tattoo

I called to set up a consultation. They said to fill out the form on their website. I filled out the form. Then I got an email saying send pics to another email. So I did that. Then 10 days went by with no response. So I called and left them a message. They emailed me saying they were all booked and that my name will be put on the list but they can't guarantee anything. So I emailed back saying I was getting the feeling like they wanted me to go somewhere else. They replied that wasn't it at all. But there are 400 people on the waiting list before me. So it took 20 days and emails and phone calls to find out they are booked up for who knows how long. I'm sure they are very talented. But they could have let me know. My recommendation is if you actually want to get a tatoo try somewhere else.

Best tattoo shop around. Multiple artists that have a variety of different tattoo styles and they are all good at what they do. I Highly recommend.

I got this stunning tattoo done the other day by Xandra and I can not express how happy I am with my tattoo. She did such an amazing job and I’ve gotten so many compliments on this piece already I’m so happy with my experience and I highly recommend her! Didn’t see many reviews for her so I just want to let y’all know she is bomb!💗 thank you so much again I will definitely be booking with her again soon!

alex/xandra has been the artist that i have trusted for a long time. i have been beyond impressed with all of her work and am so happy to have her art on my skin forever. she’s so kind and is up for any project that i present to her. every time i look at my tattoos from her i'm filled with a sense of confidence and joy. i 1000% recommend her to anybody looking for color-packed bold tattoos! and honestly anything else! i know that i will be a lifelong client to her, she’s very sweet and produces amazing work.

the environment at black hydra is safe and welcoming. the staff is very nice and easy to get along with. this is the shop that i will keep on coming back to. as a queer person i feel that this is a very safe space; it is full of art and personality. my favorite tattoo shop by far. definitely check them out!

I have been going to Brad for tattoos for years and was more than happy to follow him to his, Emily and Mat’s new studio. Very clean, professional, well-maintained and full of interesting art and decorations. I like that over half of the tattoo artists are female, I like the lack of toxic masculinity and I particularly like the welcoming vibe for every kind of human, which is important to me as an outwardly lgbtq person. The artists all create high quality, beautiful and thoughtful art in multiple styles and will make sure you leave with something you love. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a studio you can trust to deliver a high quality piece of art for you.

Brad, Mat, and Emily are not only excellent artists and true professionals, but they’re also down-to-earth and friendly people. They’ve all worked very hard to hone their craft and each of them brings something special to the table. Brad has been my tattoo artist for years and I trust him with a variety of styles. The shop is beautiful and they’ve worked hard to create a comfortable, clean, and friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend Black Hydra Tattoo! The shop is packed with talent.

I have 4 tattoos & all of them have been by Emily. I love each one of my tattoos & Emily has always been professional, super clean, fun & each session has been a great experience! I have gotten so people that have asked me where I've gotten my tattoos & by who. I of course recommend her each time. I've seen her great work on several of my friends & we all can say Emily ROCKS! I look forward to my next tattoo with her! ❤

Brad has done several of my tattoos - ranging from small lyrics to a 3 hour book cover! He is a fantastic, friendly artist and I cannot recommend him highly enough - and he’s ready to take on any size piece! My friends and family have been tattooed by Mat, Brad and Emily as well - and they are all terrific artists who we are thrilled to see opening up their own shop!! Come see these guys and you will not be disappointed in their work!! :)

Mat has done a few of my tattoos and I love them! Sitting with him is easy and relaxing. He really listens and takes his time to accurately depict your tattoo dream! I have zero doubts the other artists are just as passionate. I love seeing all their work and would love a tattoo from each of them! I look forward to scheduling many appointments!

Went here to get an apprentice tattoo from a friend and had a great experience. The shop is beautiful, super clean and a good vibe. They even have some prints for sale. For tattoos in the Fitchburg area I would recommend this shop!
