Piercing near Catonsville

“Mindy is truly the goat, I came right at closing time for the second year in the row and she still happily did my piercing. Everyone has such a great vibe and I love it!“

“she did the best and even my eyebrows have ever looked. she was very thorough and walked me through every step of the way. she also has jewelry and does piercings too! i’ll definitely be coming back!!“

“Olivia is the best! She did my first ever tattoo and was so amazing. She was super helpful with giving me all the information I needed and walked me through the whole process, which I really appreciated as someone who had no background knowledge whatsoever. She is so incredibly talented, and the best thing about her is the way she takes pride in her work. You can really tell that she cares about the pieces she creates and wants them to look good just as much as her clients do.

Olivia definitely exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make my vision come to life!

The studio was also super clean and comforting. It was awesome being in a private room- it felt less intimidating and calmed some of my nerves as a first timer. Thank you again Olivia and Tattooed Heart Studios!“

“My mom-in-law and I decided to get tattoos. Cool huh? Both are simple designs but we'd never done this before. A friend of mine suggested Raven and Rose, and we're really glad that she did. I submitted info via their online contact form and Laura quickly got back to me. We went back and forth a bit via emails on details because, again, our first times. Had a fantastic experience. Laura is great and could not be better. She was really REALLY concerned that we were 100% comfortable before, during, and after. We had lots of questions and she had lots of answers. Each of our tattoos took just 30-40 minutes, so not very large or intricate. She constantly checked in with us during the process. Lots of small talk which she even said ahead of time would help mitigate the very minor uncomfortableness of being poked by a needle thousands of times in the same place. It worked. Laura, and the whole studio, could not have been better. Everyone was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend R&R for any tattooing and related artwork. We're both really happy with what we now have.“

“7+ years painful pleasures has been my go to supply company for all my piercing
Needs ALSO TATTOO SUPPLIES!/general tattoo shop supplies. One stop shop kind of company“

“Missy is the best! I've been coming for years...excellent service, beautiful shop and the esthetics are great. Will continue to support in the future!“

“Loved the piercings done by rampage, she was amazing and had great energy. I got industrial piercings, and they were $70, and it hurt a little, but the way she did it, the experience was good and it didnt hurt afterwards, she was good at letting us know how to do aftercare. Thank you for such a good time, and I will go again for another one.“

“this is the only place I will go for any tattoos or piercings! been coming to this shop for the last 2-3 years and I have never had a bad experience.“

“What a wonderful experience. Every so often a place of business will raise the bar for the industry. After being tattooed the past 8 years in a variety of high-end shops in DC and Northern VA, I was blown away by the place. This has to be the most state of the art and clean studios I have ever seen. It is located off a main highway, in a nice quiet industrial park with a nice forrest view. There is ample free parking. The inside of Painful Pleasures looks brand new and is very, very well kept. Hell, even the bathroom has automatic sink and soap dispenser, the floor is immaculate. Every little detail is taken care of. The individual rooms they use for tattooing have private TVs and radio options. The tattoo chair is ergonomic and very comfortable. My artist had the cleanliness and professionalism that could make most ERs look silly. There is also a feature to turn the clear glass walls opaque for tattoos in places that not everybody gets to see. All of the supplies are top notch and they don't skimp. My artist even cleaned the chair in front of me with bleach based cleaner before getting started (despite the fact it was already clean). He also opened all needles in front of me and changed gloves repeatedly to avoid any cross contamination. I was hesitant to post because I am selfishly hoping to allow this studio to be the best kept secret in the DMV area, but when a business and an artist put this much effort into customer experience and work, recognition is mandatory.“

“we got my daughters ears pierced and it was a great experience! very quick and professional!“

“The lady who did our tattoo was so friendly really quick and a pro at script writing! Would highly recommend“

“I had a tattoo on my chest about five years ago from Jacob. I was happy with the results.

I went in today to have a conversation with Tom. He was very nice and professional and you could tell he knows what he’s doing and he is very relaxed.

I recommend this place because for the last 30 years before we had the Internet.

This was the place that everybody talked about.“

“I could not be happier with the work Kaleb did. I gave him an image of a balrog I wanted a couple days before, and he created his own art done in the traditional tattoo style. It came out perfect. He was also extremely pleasant to talk to before, during, and after the work was done. I'll be going back for more tattoos from him in the future.“

“Got my tragus pierced by Aliza and she also pierced my son's ears while we were there. She was very professional and accommodating. My son's ears swelled and she immediately had him come in to give him swell bars (I think they are called) to make him more comfortable. I look forward to returning for more piercings and tattoos. Highly recommend! Check them out, you won't be disappointed.“

“This review is long overdue, but I've been getting my tattoos done here for years. Amazing service--Dave and Aaron are literally the best ???!!“

“Gordon does fantastic work and an unfortunate motorcycle accident ruined my sleeve in several places. Gordon has been extremely patient fixing the road rash on my tattoos. The results are outstanding.
Thanks,
Jim Smith“

“As soon as I came in for my tattoo consultation with Clay a couple of months ago, I knew I was in great hands. He made me feel comfortable right away, his shop was super clean, his prices were extremely reasonable, and it was clear he was an expert at his craft.

During the actual tattooing, Clay was great to chat with as he worked. And he routinely checked in to make sure I was tolerating the pain okay.

Watching Clay bring my tattoo to life was a privilege—his talent is incredible. I am blown away at how well it came out, and I am so happy to have this work of art on me forever!“

“My go to tattoo shop, thier coverups are immaculate, precision is on point, their variety of techniques and artists to fit all different kinds of art styles is amazing. Very welcoming and caring artists full of passion! I would recommend them time and time again.“

“I always feel so welcome when I walk in there and I've been going there since 2012. I highly recommend them for piercings. Tattoos I've seen their work and they're beautiful ❤️“

“Came in off the street as a walk-in had the owner tattoo me was very satisfied with all three pieces over $1000 worth of work“
