I wanted to get a celebration of life tattoo for my best friend who has ALS. Having not had a tattoo in almost 40 years, this seemed like a bold move. I looked at various reviews, Instagram, etc. Finally I came upon the Odyssey Wellness website. As a cancer survivor I was struck by Darlene's work. I knew she was the right person. I found some samples and she created this tattoo that is incredibly meaningful and fits my aesthetic. It was a great experience.
After breast cancer, I had some mastectomy scars that I wanted covered up, so I went to Darlene for my lotus tattoo. Her extensive experience with scars made her the obvious choice for my first-ever piece! Aside from her effortlessly chill vibe, Darlene is a professional who is thoughtful about placement, artistic detail, and ensuring comfort. Odyssey has delicious lollipops. I'll be back soon!
Darlene is an extremely talented and thoughtful artist. She has over 25 years of experience. I am a proud supporter of this local, woman-owned business. I trusted Darlene with my first tattoo and it was a biggie: I spent 7 hours in her chair. The result was a beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork that honors the memory of my darling son, who passed away earlier this year. Darlene is patient and kind and an expert at what she does. I highly recommend the Odyssey Wellness Tattoo crew.
They deserve all the stars!

Thank you Jennifer! We appreciate you!
I can’t speak more highly of Darlene! She is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and disarming. My husband and I went in for matching tattoos and she really listened to us and presented multiple options for what we were looking for. We’re both so happy with the results and are going back for another round of tattoos. Highly recommend Odyssey Wellness Tattoo for anyone looking for a good tattoo studio in the greater Boston area!

We're excited that both of you are happy with your tattoos and are planning to return. Thank you so much for recommending us to others in the Boston area!
This place has all the things you hope for a tattoo studio: talent & cleanliness. I really loved Leina. Picked her bec her work had really clean lines and I wanted to get lettering for my first tattoo. She didn’t make me feeel basic for getting something simple for my first experience and she delivered exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this spot!

Came in with a group of 11 and they were able to fit us all in for walk in tattoos. They were incredibly nice and the shop was very cute. We don't live in the area but I would definitely go back.

I got my first traditional tattoo from Jimbo. He was kind, professional, and answered all of my questions. I am very pleased with the finished product and highly recommend Odyssey. They also have a comfy and chill environment that feels welcoming and laid back. I will be back to support these local artists! Thanks, Jimbo!

Thank you Casey! I’m so happy to hear that you had a great experience with Jimbo. We look forward to seeing you at the shop again soon!
Last year I got blessed with a tattoo by the legendary Chad Chesko which was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had. Not only is he highly professional but also a kind and super respectful person. 10/10

Yeah! Thank you for the stellar review! We appreciate his expertise so much. I’m glad you do too!
I got THE MOST bitchin’ tattoo. A dream experience. Beauty is painful and totally worth it to feel this footloose and fancy free.

I had a great experience with Odyssey Wellness. Darlene took a lot of time to develop my tattoo are with me and create something that everyone who sees it is impressed by. She puts a lot of care into creating a comfortable environment and experience and is professional and fun at the same time.

Thanks Cheryl!
Darlene got my wife and I in for a last minute visit while we were visiting Boston. Her work was great, she was patient with our adjustments, and vibes were 10 out of 10. Couldn’t be happier.

So glad to hear it! I always appreciate when someone is visiting Boston and still wants to come check out our studio! Thank you.
My tattoo experience was amazing! It was like I was hanging out with a good friend. Darlene and I sang along to yacht rock during the process and I'm thrilled with the result!!

Thank you for the review Julia! It was a pleasure working with you! It thrills me that you’re happy with your tattoo!
I had a double nipple tattoo with Darlene. The experience was easy, precise, and professional! I am very pleased with the end result. Having a double mastectomy with full nipple removal is not fun and is traumatic. This procedure helps make you feel whole again! Thank you!
