I'm here to do the thing we all hate doing: ask you to vote for my workplace. I know. I know. Every business is constantly asking you to vote, review, share, tag your cousin, your mailman, and that one person you haven't spoken to since 2017. But I'm asking anyway, because from behind this desk, I get to see what your support actually means. A year ago Elegance took a chance on me and helped change my life. Everyday I see nervous first-timers walk through our doors and leave feeling like absolute badasses. I see artists obsess over tiny details, staff answer the same questions for the 900th time, and everyone here put genuine care into making sure people feel safe, respected, educated, and excited about their experience. So yes, your vote matters. Best of Central Mass voting is open August 17–31, 2026. Find Elegance in these three categories: Services → Best Tattoo Studio Shopping → Jewelry Store Shopping → Specialty Shop The link for voting can be found on @eleganceworc 's page. You can vote once per day, per category, so come back tomorrow. And the day after that. Yes, Im asking you to make voting for a tattoo and piercing shop part of your daily routine. I have no shame you all know this. A vote for Elegance is a vote for our artists, our staff, our education, our quality jewelry, our safe practices, and the community weve built together. It helps us continue providing the level of service we're proud of and keep investing in the people, tools, education, and jewelry that make Elegance what it is. Is asking embarrassing? Absolutely. Am I going to ask anyway? Obviously. You know I support the people who support me loudly. Thank you for choosing us, trusting us, recommending us, and letting me continue to be the person behind the desk who knows entirely too much about your piercing plans and juicebox preferences.
