Hi! Weโre a Pakistani woman-owned tattoo shop in East Somerville, Massachusetts.
At Pearl Street Tattoo Club, we deeply love tattooing and want to share that love with everyone! We feel itโs important for our clients to feel welcome, safe, and respected in our space no matter their background. All are welcome, always.
Our shop has three main goals:
To provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for tattooing where all can feel welcome and respected.
To promote anti-racist, pro-women, pro-LGBTQIA+, and pro-science values in the tattoo community.
To support, nurture, and encourage our artists so they can push their tattooing skills and creativity.

ACCESSIBILITY
The front of the Pearl Street Tattoo Club is wheelchair accessible, but we do have stairs in the building.

PUBLIC TRANSIT
We are conveniently located on the bus routes for the 80 (Arlington Center - Lechmere) & 90 (Davis - Assembly Row). The stops for both are at the intersection of Pearl Street @ Cross Street. We are also close to Sullivan Station, with many buses stopping nearby on Broadway @ Cross Street. Alternatively, weโre a short walk from McGrath Highway @ Alston Street for the 88 bus. These bus routes offer access to multiple T stations:
Davis Square (Red Line & Bus connections)
Assembly Row & Sullivan Station (Orange Line)
Lechmere (Green Line)
We will also be a short walk from Gilman Square and East Somerville Stations once the GLX is open.
If you prefer to cycle, we can store your bike in our enclosed back garden while you get tattooed.
PARKING
We encourage folks to use public transport where possible, but we do hold 1 temporary parking permit for the area around the shop. If you request this permit, we ask for a small deposit of $20 that will be refunded upon your departure, as permits are not easy to obtain.
If able, we ask our customers to park a block or so away from the shop to leave space for our neighbours.
