“Excellent experience getting pierced by Bob here. I called in, asked for the price of two lobe piercings ($52 total including jewelry and credit card fee, which is awesome), and was told he'd take me a half hour before closing. Process was quick and easy, and the piercings themselves were professionally administered and cared for. Can't ask for anything else.“

“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!“

“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“

“I was randomly in Savage Mill, saw the walk in sign and decided to go for it. My artist, Laura was very nice and worked to ensure I had the exact design and size I wanted. Great experience!“

“Such a great vibe! Excellent service and skilled artists. Working with Blake and Sean was nothing short of amazing ! Sean provided clear and sound advice to my little sister and Blake was able to craft and deliver exactly what I wanted . Thank you !!“

“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.“

“Eli & Paula is the best in the DMV - Orig I was looking for a good place to get some work done in the DMV being from NYC ! After finding this shop I am relieved I can come get my sleeve !“

“My daughter took me here once and ever since then I don’t go no where else! Best piercer out here!!“
