Neighbors
Wareham’s town slogan says it’s “Better Before the Bridges,” and for getting a tattoo, that holds up. We’re on the same side of the Canal as you, a few minutes past Onset Bay on Main Street in Buzzards Bay. We’ve been here since 2009.
Quick answers
Wareham & Onset: what people ask first
How close are you to Onset and Wareham?
From Onset village it’s about 5 minutes (2.5 miles). From Wareham center it’s about 11 to 14 minutes (6 to 7 miles), depending on whether you take Route 6 or go through Onset.
Is there a bridge between Wareham and the shop?
No. Buzzards Bay is on the mainland side of the Canal, the same side as Wareham, so canal bridge traffic isn’t part of your drive.
Can I just walk in?
We take walk-ins depending on the day. Call first to check, between 10 AM and 6 PM: (508) 743-8462.
How much is a small tattoo?
The shop minimum is $100, which covers 30 minutes of tattooing. Bigger pieces are priced by time.
What should I do before my appointment?
Get a good night’s sleep, eat beforehand, and show up hydrated. Skip alcohol, wear clothes that make the spot easy to reach, and bring your ID.
Do you do piercings too?
No, we’re a tattoo-only shop.
