Hardline Tattoo Studio Opens in Adams

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

Studio owner Thomas Buckley talks with Selectwoman Christine Hoyt as she looks through his image books on Friday.
ADAMS, Mass. — Hardline Studio opened its books on Friday, offering a variety of original tattoos created by owner Thomas Buckley. For him, this has been a longtime dream.
 
He has been a tattoo artist for more than 15 years and many wore his artwork at the ribbon cutting attended by the Board of Selectmen.
 
"It got into me," Buckley said when asked how he got into tattooing.
 
"I was drawing pictures and I was forced into it. It chased me down. I couldn't go anywhere, I couldn't even go to a restaurant with my friends and family without someone being like, 'Hey, by the way, I know you're eating but when you start tattooing, please call me.'"
 
Even the studio's name has been a long time coming, as he chose it in high school.
 
"I made cards, they were dorky, I wish I still had them," he said.
 
Selectwomen Christine Hoyt and Ann M. Bartlett, and Selectman Joseph John Nowak Jr. commended Buckley on his grand opening and expressed appreciation for joining the town's business community.
