To give you a real answer.. Pearl Street Tattoo - really open, supportive & non-judgemental space and should be up your alley. However, they tend to book months in advance.
As for as anti-capitalism, you do realize you'll be paying them for a service in currency? I don't think anyone would barter for a tattoo. If you want a true anticapitalist tattoo, you'd need it done for free at someone's house lol.

Anyways, I'd actually be shocked if there was a neonazi tattoo spot in Boston, considering how difficult it is to run a parlor here compared to say.. New Hampshire. Like, tattooing only became legal here in 2001.

I was a tattoo with an anticapitalist meaning only. under our current economic conditions a truly “anticapitalist” tattoo would be very hard to achieve. I fundamentally don’t believe there is ethical consumption under late stage capitalism. Yes, I can resist it, but I cannot abstain from all acts of capitalism if I want to be a part of my community.

I will wait months, the best tattoos come from highly sought artists.

Fair enough - and I agree with you. I think most local tattoo artists would lean in your political direction.

I think the downvotes are coming from your phrasing. It partly comes off as cringe, sorry to say.

Anyways, good luck to you. Every artist at that shop is incredibly sincere, you should find what you’re looking for there.

Honestly not sure how to phrase it neutrally. People are going to react and make assumptions instead of asking clarifying questions. I frankly don’t want to waste an artists time getting a consult for a tattoo they won’t create.
