SHOP HISTORY
Miraculous Creations was originally started in 1993 in Brookfield MA on Lincoln St. It was a small in-home business because at that time there simply was no such thing as a business dedicated to body art.
The original name was Miraculous Creations Alternative Lifestyle Center . I (Rose) offered a variety of services based mostly on personal growth, achievement and healing. These services included body piercing, relaxation techniques, meditation, counseling services, hypnosis, past life regression, energy balancing, etc. I started piercing as a spiritual tool used in modern therapy, adopted from ancient cultures and beliefs. Miraculous Creations at that time was a partnership with Buzz. This was also where we had the base for the tattoo legalization process in MA.
With a little time the business grew so much that it was clear that we needed more space and a more central location. We moved to 59 Green Street in Worcester, MA on March 20, 1996 . We were in fact Worcester's very first body art business! Others are quick to make this claim but I promise you they cannot back their claims up with proof because they are false claims. There were a few people doing piercings in bar rooms, apartments, basements, back seats of cars, hair dressing studios, head shops, home parties, etc., but not one was a business doing body art (tattoos, piercing, branding, implants, scarification, cutting, pocketing etc.) We were the first. Our business license is on display at the shop if anyone questions the dates. Yes, we can back up our claim to be Worcester's first with solid proof.
We had no idea how fast Miraculous Creations would grow and we were quickly adding staff members and looking for a larger location. We moved to our next location at 310 Park Avenue on April 28th 1997 . Miraculous Creations remained a partnership until April 2001 when I (Rose) became the sole owner, making us Worcester's ONLY woman owned body art business as well! Miraculous Creations had also opened other studios in various locations across New England but they were closed when I took over as sole owner so that I could stay local, stop traveling to work and put all of my energy into making Miraculous Creations the best it can be.
In 2003 we moved just 4 blocks down the street to 458 Park Ave, our current location. Here we have a small parking lot in back and street parking out front. We have better security, a nicer landlady and all around better space. This space gave us separate rooms allowing for more privacy. We now have a relaxing private piercing room, a separate jewelry changing/check-up station, a cosmetic tattoo room, 2 tattoo rooms, a reception/waiting room and a large medical supply storage room. Many other shops are decorate like social clubs or bar rooms and that's fine. We have always prided ourselves for running more like a Doctor or Dentist office since this is a medical field rather than the bar room style shops. This style of decorating is cleaner and safer which is so important in the health industries. We think the average customer would rather remain safe than hang out in the bar style environment and risk disease or injury. Besides, there are times and places for the bar scene, and those are when your're not getting body art performed on you.
We are still well known by the consumer as Worcester's Best and we thank you sincerely for all of your support in our continued growth.
in January 2005 we became incorporated as an LLC. At this time I added both my son Jesse and my new husband Phil as owners.
Again…THANK YOU for your patronage!
