This is by far the best place I have ever been tattooed. All the artists were very nice and professional. The atmosphere was amazing. I went to Alyssa and the end result was the best tattoo I have ever had. Super clean, very nice people, the art is very cool. She made me feel very welcome and the other girls that were there were really nice people too. Its an all around great place to get a tattoo or whatever else, I would defintiely recommend to anyone. I will never go anywhere again except AR Designs.

I love this place, its very neat and must have one client to come in for their appointment during the covid 19 times. Make sure everyone stays safe and is required to wear the mask. They are friendly tattoo artists.Alexis is my tattoo artist and she did 6 tattoos on me so far. She is an amazing artist and she always makes sure its even and looks perfect. Make sure she got everything covers up before I paid and leave. I am always happy with how my tattoos look. It is 100% satisfying with her artwork on me!

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed here. Alexis is very professional and kind. The environment in her shop is relaxing and calm. I really enjoyed the music and the setup of the shop. Definitely not your normal tattoo shop but the best place Ive been in a long time. And well my tattoo is absolutely beautiful and cant wait to sit in her chair again.

Alexis is a true artist, a professional, and my go-to for any work! She is so receptive to what your vision is and works with you to create exactly what you want (and usually even better than what you had in your mind!). Her shop is unbelievably clean and sanitized, super inviting and she always provides a comfortable experience. Everyone that Ive had the pleasure of chatting with there is welcoming and professional. I would 100% recommend reaching out for your next tattoo; one of the best options in the area by far in my opinion! Cant wait for my next visit!

Im a collector and was first attracted to the studio because I thought I was really cool that the Berkshires has an all woman tattoo parlor. The space is clean, the vibe is chill, the artists are professional and talented. Very happy with my tattoos and my experience here. Will be back for sure!

Alyssa did a beautiful job!! She was wonderful to work with- a great artist and person. Will be going back!!!

The owner Alexis did these simple tattoos as a favor to me and my son. She stepped way below her pay grade and artistic ability, and it meant a lot to me and my kids. We are so happy. The shop was a great experience, very comfortable and clean. Alexis fills her shop with sweet and talented women. Thank you so much!

Owner/artist Alexis is fantastic. Super polite, always consistent and is an all around amazing artist. The shop itself is super clean and all the girls are all professional. Id recommend any of them and you wont be disappointed.

Lexi is an amazing artist! Everybody in the shop is very friendly and its always a good time to get a tattoo there. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding art, gorgeous location, and the most pleasant tattoo experience I have ever had! When I walked by the studio the first time, the vibe just drew me right in the door. Greeted by a smiling artist who turned out to be open, friendly, professional, so easy going, and super talented. She took such great care of me through our initial consult right up until the end session. Communication is key to getting a piece so beautiful that represents exactly what I was looking for. This wasnt my first tattoo, and I can tell you I have NEVER had such an enjoyable experience as I had at this shop. Five stars isnt enough!!!

Alyssa Richardson is one of the most professional and skilled tattoo artists I have ever met. Her line work is superb and her use of color is jaw dropping. She creates some of the most amazing tattoos that involve 2D and 3D realism. I would highly recommend getting a tattoo done by Alyssa. Wether you want a big piece that takes 5 hours or a smaller piece that takes 1 hour her work is flawless throughout. If you aren’t getting a tattoo done by Alyssa then you aren’t getting a tattoo done right.

I have been looking for a place to get a meaningful tattoo for my recently deceased mother. For personal comfort reasons, I only let women tattoo me. The first place I looked into thats the local cool, hip spot did not have any women employed as artists so I was VERY pleased to find that Alexis not only owns the business and space herself but she also has an ALL women staff.Alexis was prompt with response time and flexible with scheduling. She helped mix and match hand writing samples to create what we wanted it to say. She was warm and welcoming while still strictly adhering to health standards. Incredibly precise line work while also some how maintaining a magically light hand.Her designs are def fire because the alarm went off right as she was about to start tattooing me. We all waited outside until the fire department cleared us and the residents of the attached buildings to re-enter. Definitely a once and a life time experience. 10/10 would recommend.

The finest Tattoo Artist in this area!!! I love her inspired designs and her amazing work!! Thank you again Alexis ❤

Two beautiful pieces on my wrists for my grandmothers done by Resident Artist Alexis Rosasco. I’m super happy with how well they healed and the attention to detail. Also very pleased with a thigh peace done by the shop’s senior apprentice Alyssa Richardson. Overall a very welcoming and warm environment!!

Every year Lex adds another dash to the map. I wouldnt think of going anywhere else!

AR Designs Fine Art & Tattoo has done all 3 of my tattoos. Resident artist, Alexis, has done two of them and her apprentice, Alyssa, did another one. No matter who you go to here, you will leave satisfied. They always do a fantastic job and really care about making your tattoo unique and special to you. Highly recommend!

Undoubtedly the cleanest, most professional shop in the area. Alexis is an absolutely fantastic artist and is a complete professional in her work. If you are in the area or just visiting, and want a top quality piece, this is the shop to go to. Also has really awesome art prints for sale!

I have 3 pieces from Alexis and currently working on 3 more. After the first, I had decided I will not be going anywhere else. It isnt too pften you find a tattoo artist with a fine arts degree, and it shows in her work. Alexis takes her time making sure every last detail is exactly how you want it and she will advise on placement to be sure it is aesthetically pleasing. All of the girls are very professional and the shop is cleaner than any other I have ever been in. The entire atmosphere is very calming and unlike any other tattoo shop in the area.

Amazing group of artists 🤩

Awesome atmosphere and great artists

Got my first tattoo here and it was such a fantastic experience! Alexis is a super talented artist and also very professional, friendly, and welcoming. The whole vibe of the place is really wonderful, it feels like an awesome mixture of fine art gallery, museum of oddities, and zen garden. Highly recommend!!

I am constantly impressed with this high end art studio. I have brought a few friends of mine here to get their tattoos done. The tattoos came out extremely well and I would say is much better than tattoos I have seen from other studios in the area. She also does art lessons, if you want to see her artwork ahead of time, check her walls. Its nothing short of amazing. Will recommend people to this studio. 5/5 A+

I just got my first tattoo at AR Designs and I couldnt be happier with it. Alexis is a very talented artist and the entire process was a pleasure. The studio is immaculate and welcoming and she is truly a class act. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of getting a little piece of art permanently inked.....do it, you wont be sorry!!

Alexis is the best tattoo artist I have worked with. She did an amazing job and was extremely thorough, she made sure all of the details were on point. Highly Recommend this tattoo shop.

What I love about AR designs is that its clean and professional. The shop is beautiful. Abstract paintings and beautiful pictures cover the walls. She has a ton of cool artifacts and instruments. It really feels like youre getting tattooed an art gallery. Last time I came in Alexis made me hot chocolate and gave me York peppermint patties for me to munch while I was being tattooed. She also let me log into my UFC fight pass and watch fights on her flat screen TV.My tattoo came out amazing!!!!!! I got a huge sphinx on my thigh. I couldnt believe how well the colors work together and I didnt think you could tattoo a 3-D image that well but she did.Alexis has a fine arts degree from Tufts University and it shows. I was probably annoying and had a lot of questions about the colors and shading and so on. I dont know anything about art but I was very nervous to get such a big piece done on my body after all tattoos are forever. Alexis explained that color scheme to me and everything else Art Wise. She made me feel very comfortable and I was extremely confident and her ability before she even touched me with a needle.This was great experience for me and I think Im hooked I cant wait for my next tattoo.

My Fiancé and I had our wedding bands done at AR Designs. Lex was extremely easy to work with from conception of the project to the final product. The atmosphere of the shop was very welcoming, clean and crock full of eclectic artwork. We both left impressed and excited to show off our new ink, and are both planning out more projects for the future.

Artists are so talented and amazing to work with! They do a such great job of working with you to design exactly what you want, definitely recommend!

Great experience, the tattoo parlor was super clean and the workers were so friendly and made me feel comfortable for my first tattoo. Most welcoming tattoo parlor in town!

Friendly, professional staff.

Ive been getting ink from Alexis for over a year and pretty make my way from Boston to her shop at least once a month. Shes that good! The space has great atmosphere and Alexis is good company while applying her craft to your skin! See you soon!!!!

Lex has done about half my left sleeve she is a great artist and and very efficient with the tattoo time. Great place to get some ink

Very talented artist. Love the work she has done on my back.

The only thing thats better than her professionalism and personality is her talent. She will work with you 100% in order to make your idea a reality. The best thing you can is bring in a seed of an idea and let her do her thing. I promise you will be walking out with an amazing piece of art on your body. Ive gotten my last four tattoos from her and do not plan on going to anyone else.

This tattoo shop is wonderful! I got my first tattoo here, and Alexis made the experience as wonderful as she could. The shop is clean, the artist is friendly, and her work is lovely! If I decide to ever get more ink done, I am definitely going back here.

Amazing work and awesome people to get work from I got 2 tattoos from lex and each to this day they look great!

Obviously lacking experience. I suggest taking a good look at her portfolio before walking into the shop; I regret not having done so. I’ll be going elsewhere next time I want a tattoo.

I have been tattooed by three different people and Alexis is definitely my favorite! She makes the time fun and as painless as possible! Shes also really good priced, especially since her work is amazing. I am sooo looking forward to my next tattoo from her (which hopefully will be soon!)

Wonderful upscale CLEAN environment! Lex is awesome with excellent techniques in tattooing and all her art forms. Shes very personable,friendly and always working to meet your needs and exceed your expectations! My girlfriend and I both have ink from her and cant wait to go back!

Alexis is amazing. She is clean, professional, crazy talented, and fun. She makes every experience great and I wont go to anyone but her for my ink! Shes a true artist!

Alexis undoubtedly surpassed my expectations for my first tattoo experience She is an incredible talent, who flawlessly inked exactly what I wanted!

Very pleased with the several pieces I have gotten done here!

As i write this i am in the middle of a multiple session full back tattoo. i went to alexis with an idea, which she translated to a drawing. she stepped into my head and put onto paper a more beautiful image than i can describe, and now we are bringing that image to life on, as she says, the canvas of my back. she is a truly talented artist. and to top it all off she is a wonderful person. not only am i getting my new tattoo but i have found a new friend. i promise you this, you will not be disappointed on any level if you go visit lex and her studio.i would love to share a pic when we are finished, for now it is a work in progress.

Classy atmosphere. Exciting company. Gorgeous work. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a piece of art that is worth every cent and moment of their time.

Best tattoo artist around!!! Gorgeous atmosphere and great conversation....Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Very friendly and professional! Always a very comfortable and fun environment, amazingly talented artist! Alexis is one hell of a tattoo artist and super fun to work with!

I am currently taking private art lessons from Alexis. She is awesome. Very good spirited, has a very...good positive vibe about her, personality wise. Ill be honest, I was very nervous about meeting her, felt...inadequate compared to her and also taking art lessons too (could not even draw a stick figure that well LOL). But, after I met her, I felt it was the right decision to make. Her paintings/drawings are A+++++++! One day, I will be right there maybe teaching alongside her LOL just kidding. :D Very professional for business, but also very friendly and charismatic. Pricing is reasonable too. Close to home, and really great placement for an art place to be. North Adams, MA is known for artsy people so this is purrrrfect. :) Also, the tattoos look awesome from what I have seen. On a scale of 1-10, well, 10 doesnt even cut it. :)

The artwork is really unique, and masterfully done. Lex is super talented!

Alexis will take your idea to a whole new level, amazing ability to use your body as a canvas for her creative vision!!!!!!

Best tattoo shop ever!

Awesome artwork - incredibly intricate and detailed - This is a welcome addition to North Adams!

Amazing, talented and does amazing tattoos!

Talented staff!
