Tattoo Shops near Hillcrest Heights

“I got a tattoo by Nay last Wednesday and I had such a great experience. The shop was clean and visually appealing. Nay is very personable, friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. I will definitely be back.“

“I had the best first time experience with Ash for lip blushing!! She made me feel so comfortable given the fact that it’s a tattoo and I’m not a huge needle lover! She was able to match my favorite lippies and make my DREAM SHADE. This is the best cosmetic treatment I’ve ever decided to do and if you’re considering you need to book with her!!“

“Got a double ear piercing with Kyle and it was quick and easy! Very thorough with piercing placement and sterile environment. Would recommend.“

“I worked with Isa. She was fantastic. She took the time to take my artistic feedback and worked with my ideas. Very meticulous work and good attention to detail. Her line work is fire.“

“I got tattooed by Mary back in May and I couldn’t have had a better experience!! She gave me exactly what I wanted and the tattoo couldn’t have turned out any better!!“

“My brother and I got our first tats here with TJ. Overall awesome experience, chill vibe, super welcoming to new people. If you're looking to get a tattoo but are nervous trust me this is the place.“

“Gotta say my first tatoo appointment by Gilda was amazing. She opened and set her station up in front of me. She was knowledgeable, clean, friendly. I have a sunflower that I am going to turn into a sleeve and I made the best choice in tattoo shop and artist would recommend to anyone.

The shops front office staff was polite and very patient and the overall theme of the shop is artistic but also very clean and sanitary I recommend for any first time tattoo appointments. Both my artist Gilda and the receptionist went over maintenance how it would feel, how to take care of with written pre printed instructions. Not to mention Gilda had my tattoo ready and when it was done it was exactly what I had in mind.

Definitely will be making an appointment in the future for a sleeve.“

“Absolutely zero complains. First time customer, website is nice and user friendly , I followed Ryan on instagram to monitor when his books were open. Easy to submit an idea, then Ryan reached out and a month later delivered an awesome American Traditional piece packed with solid bold lines and color saturation. Ryan is very easy to talk and communicate with and very professional and worked the tattoo design to fit perfectly with existing tattoos. Shop is nice and clear , and the rest of the staff/co-owners I interacted with were great. Will absolutely try to get tattoo here again“

“Memo was incredibly professional and kind throughout my session. This piece was a small, meaningful tribute to my late aunt, and he handled it with great care and attention to detail. The experience was smooth, comfortable, and the work came out beautifully. Highly recommend.“

“Michael is hands down the best piercer I’ve ever had. I have been going for four years and each time he’s had great customer service and made it a fantastic experience!“

“John at High Five has my highest recommendation. He worked with me on the second phase of a larger project, helped clarify my vision and map out future steps.
John was selfless with his time providing a consultation lasting more than an hour before taking a penny.
A true artist beyond even his exceptional tattooing, John applied his decades of creativity to help refine and enhance my vision.
Aside from that, John is just a genuinely cool dude. High Five is an incredibly welcoming environment and John instantly puts his clients at ease, setting the tone for a wonderful experience. If you’re down for tales of adventure, be sure to ask about his favorite past time and epic travels.
I will most certainly return and am honored to walk through the world displaying John’s art.“

“First off, MST is super responsive to emails and their Instagram messages, where other shops sometimes are not.

I've had two tattoos with Faka, a few years apart, and both experiences were great. I love the feel of the shop - they have a huge door they open on nice days and it's bright and airy in there.

Faka is super attentive to the ideas you have in your brain while also considering the location and actual execution of them to ensure it looks right on your body. They also offer touch ups within a certain time period to make sure you love your piece.

My first one was on my back and pretty easy to sit through, but my second one was on my ribs and required a few quick breaks. Faka was super understanding.

My rib piece was a sentimental one and Faka focused on keeping the nature of my pop's handwriting true to his style. Thanks so much, I'll always recommend MST to my friends!“

“Super clean, kind, and quick! Bobby gave me a great block letter red ink tattoo on the top of my foot. Walk in curious, walk out happy!“

“The best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to.

Eric and Susan are both super talented and together their range covers almost any style of work you could want.

Plus, because they put so much thought into the physical space - spacious booths, comfortable tables, no walk-ins - the shop itself is extremely calm and comfortable.

Can’t recommend them highly enough.“

“Reds is the best tattoo artist in the DMV area and he is an amazing person. 3 generations in and still going.I just left his shop in NorthwestHe designed both of my tattoos and they are awesome as usual.7329 Georgia Ave Suite 2 Washington DC 20012Go and get a tattoo from him and you will be happy you did“

“Everything went well. This has been a long time coming this review and Imani is a phenomenal tattoo artist. From the time I set my consultation and had to reschedule because I got sick to the last ink put on my skin, she's been a great communicator. If the space was too cold, she adjusted it. If I was too hot or needed a break, we adjusted and took a break. I felt completely at ease within her space and wasn't worried. We kept the tattoo realistic in terms of ideas so it didn't get it of hand because of my chaotic ideas and it was great because my tattoo came together beautifully. Being able to put together a vision in a collaborative setting feels great when you're looking for an artist to just listen to you and keep it real with you. She paid attention to my skin as she tattooed as well as didn't tattoo if I wasn't healed properly to avoid causing me pain. I have no raised areas where she tattooed me and she was gentle where I was previously scarred from a different artist. I highly recommend setting up time to talk to Imani about your tattoo wants. She will listen and be honest with you if what you want is possible. This is her craft and you matter so she takes her time and everyone deserves that.“

“My mother and I wanted to get matching tattoos as our first tattoos and Ty did a great job. He and the rest of the artist were so welcoming and made us feel comfortable and put our minds at ease about the whole experience. I definitely will be visiting Ty again for my next one. 10/10 would totally recommend!“
