Mashpee · Upper Cape
Two bridges, about the same drive
Mashpee is one of the four Upper Cape towns, and it’s one of the few places where the two Canal bridges are about the same drive. The two routes are within about two miles of each other. Route 130 takes you north to Route 6 and the Sagamore Bridge, while Route 151 and Route 28 take you west to the Bourne Bridge. Both end at the Canal, and we’re on Main Street on the far side.
Two routes
Sagamore or Bourne: your call
Via the Sagamore Bridge · about 24 min, 17 mi
Take Route 130 north for about 7 miles, then merge left onto Route 6 West toward Boston. Cross the Sagamore Bridge and take the Route 6 West exit toward Buzzards Bay. Follow Scenic Highway about 3.6 miles to the traffic circle, then the Buzzards Bay Bypass to the rotary and Main St.
Via the Bourne Bridge · about 27 min, 19 mi
Take Great Neck Road North to Route 151 west, then Route 28 north (MacArthur Boulevard) over the Bourne Bridge. Follow the Buzzards Bay Bypass to the rotary and turn onto Main St.
Google Maps times with light traffic on a Saturday evening in October. OpenStreetMap routing confirms both routes (about 31 minutes each, 17.2 and 19.0 miles). Park in the lot across the street from the shop.
Questions
Mashpee FAQ
Should I take the Sagamore Bridge or the Bourne Bridge?
Either one works. Google Maps usually picks Route 130 to the Sagamore Bridge (about 24 minutes). The Route 151 and Route 28 way over the Bourne Bridge is close behind (about 27 minutes). Check live traffic and take whichever bridge is moving.
How do I pick an artist?
Look at each artist’s Instagram, find the one whose work matches your idea, and pick them when you book on Square. Still stuck? Call and describe the idea.
Does it hurt much?
Most people find it more uncomfortable than painful, and placement matters a lot. Ribs, feet, and spine usually hurt more, and the outer arm, forearm, and thigh usually hurt less. Your artist can take breaks whenever you need one.
Can I use numbing cream?
Yes, if it’s a quality brand. We carry a couple at the shop, including NOTATTOOPAIN. Cheap creams can make the skin rubbery and harder to tattoo.
What if I need to reschedule?
Contact the shop as early as you can so we can help: (508) 743-8462.
