Tattoo Shops near Ellicott City

“Great shop talented artists I’ve been working with Joe on a sleeve project and he has been amazing. He is a fantastic artist turning my ideas into original art. He is great to bounce ideas off of and come up with tattoos that have blown me away. Even after the work was done he called to check up on how the tat was healing. He goes the extra mile to ensure the whole experience is top notch, couldn’t ask for more. The only place I’ll get new work done.“

“Best experience I’ve ever had in a tattoo shop! Everyone was super friendly and communicative, they got a second set of eyes on the stencil to make sure it looked right, and my tattoo turned out perfect. They gave clear aftercare instructions too. Can’t wait to come back 🤩“

“Love getting piercings here, staff super friendly and knowledgeable! Worth the drive from columbia!“

“Brent, was awesome matching 4 sisters with same tattoo with 1 change per sister. Awesome work and making us comfortable“

“I had my first tattoo experience at Foxwood Tattoo Collective, and it could not have been better. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated. It immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable.

Casey was incredibly thoughtful and made my first tattoo experience so special. She had a basket filled with snacks and water ready for me, and even offered a warm, cozy blanket during the session. Those little touches meant so much and showed how much she genuinely cares about her clients.

We spent the entire four-hour session talking and sharing stories about our lives and interests, which made the time fly by. Casey was easy to talk to, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process.

I absolutely love my tattoo and the experience that came with it. I would happily return to Casey for another tattoo and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented artist in a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you for making my first tattoo experience such a positive and memorable one!“

“I took my daughter to see Alex for a helix piercing after a friend recommended her and she is a solid piercing artist! She has a very calming presence and is super competent and quick as well as informative and educational. We will be returning for her next piercing!“

“7+ years painful pleasures has been my go to supply company for all my piercing

“I absolutely love it at Tattooed Heart! Everyone there is so amazing and friendly, even if they aren't your artist they will pop in to see how you are doing and chat if they are in the building too. I have gotten custom and flash designs from Amber R. and custom from Kinsey and I love all 11 of them!“

“It added this to my list because I searched for Gordon's new location. My girlfriend said she saw on face book that Gordon moved the shop & it was close to the same place but just driving by I couldn't find it so I Binged it. I've known Gordon for about fifteen years & he does AMAZING work!“

“Monica is a great tattoo artist. This is now my second tattoo that she has done and she never fails to amaze me with her abilities. Not only is she a great artist but she also creates a safe space.“

“This was my first tattoo and it was an awesome experience. Everyone is great and I felt at home. The time flew by quickly and there was no pain, nor discomfort. My tattoo is a Japanese Kanji symbol with an infinity symbol underneath. The lines are crisp and flawless and it's absolute perfection. The aftercare is easy. No post pain and no problems. I'm working on ideas for my next tattoo. Thanks, LC!“

“Ethan is awesome! I've gotten several tattoos from him over the past 2 years and he will be the person that will be finishing both of my dream sleeves! He's great at custom work and he has really awesome flash designs. He's fun to talk to and has a very impressive level of movie knowledge. The shop is clean and welcoming.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend Airbrush Unlimited Group! They were so easy to communicate with, super friendly, and their artwork is amazing! This made great party favors for my daughters birthday party!“

“The service is great and the artwork and tattoos are being words!!!! I know I’ve gotten almost 100 tats since I started going to them years ago!! @christpher_ink an @tattosbyteon are the goats ? of tats!!! ? ?????“
