The staff was super helpful and FRIENDLY and made me feel very comfortable the whole time. They were very considerate the whole time checking to make sure I was ok before continuing. My piercing came out beautifully and they had a great selection of earrings to chose from. My tattoo was also beautiful and I'm glad I listened to a few of their recommendations! Wasn't sure if I would want more tattoos or piercings but I'll definitely be back after that experience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I'll add my tattoo photo once it's healed :)

I had been tired of looking at a scar on my leg, and he helped me craft what I didn't know I was looking for. I immediately received compliments from people about the line work. I am obsessed!!!! I will be back many, many times. In addition to the friendly staff, I was impressed by the cleanliness and spaciousness of the facility. Lastly, I appreciate that they highlight local artists, by allowing them to sell their select treasures in-store. The items appeared to be curated and were presented in an appealing way. I highly recommend either Johnny or Russell!

We almost have my entire sleeve done and each touch of the needle constantly produces amazing mind blowing results. Russell and Frankie are extremely versatile and multi talented artists that produce outstanding designs and over the top final products. The new kid on the block Jonny has grown so much as a artist in the past year. He did several beginning tattoos on me when he was starting out and now he is producing fresh new designs and has stepped up his game in a short period of time. These guys are the best, you can't go wrong, there is not a design or style that they can't produce in the shop. They are BEST OF SHOW Mike Tyson Approved........

Seeing as how I am an active member of the yelp community, I am going to try and keep this as…read moreprofessional as possible, because I am livid. If anyone I knew wanted a piercing, this is the absolute last place I would recommend they go. Bryan was our piercer and he had no interest in making me feel comfortable, making sure I was happy with my results, or hearing any of my input. I realize I am not a piercer but I've had many piercings and I've never had someone disrespect me or make me feel so uneasy about modifying my body. He didnt ask me to check and make sure the placement was ok, he didnt tell me what he was doing or when he was doing it. Thank goodness I couldn't feel when he pierced me (nerve damage). My belly button piercing is crooked and it was a repiercing. I asked him to go thru the original hole and he refused but told me it wouldnt look weird...ill post a pic and let you be the judge of that. My personal opinion is that he didnt give a shit about how it was going to look and wanted to make quick cash before closing.

My second tat was at Saints and Sinners in Baltimore, it is crooked and blown out. I will never go any place other than Artworx to get tattooed after that horrible experience at the other place. Carroll did my other tattoo on my rib and he has a light hand, which made the experience the least painful it could be getting tattooed in that area. The only thing that I can say negative about this place is the location, it seems kind of sketch especially next door to a liquor store. There are a lot of weird people coming and out of the shop while you are getting tattooed. But the shop owners and owners are nice and the place is fairly priced for tattoos.

The only negative was my artist was ready to go! Like I could feel that he really didn't want to do the tattoo. Maybe they had a long day because of the sale or holiday. But yeah... that's not the vibe you want from a person who's putting permanent anything on your body lol. In the end I like my tattoo. The experience just felt very rushed.

The inside is welcoming and clean. The front desk person went to find where the artists keep their portfolios located. Which led the owner, Mick, coming out front and finishing up with a client. I had overheard that the shop was booked until May. That made me leave because I would be gone by then. Mick, even while attending to a customer, asked about where I was going and suggested of a shop at the very state I'll be going to. That to me was what led me to write this. Her knowledge and suggestion on the fly like that to me showed her passion and dedication to the craft. Thank You Dragon Moon

It doesn't look like it's been cleaned and 30 years and it doesn't look like the inside has been renovated for longer than that. It's actually really disgusting environment.

He was very cool with the music (asking what kind of genre you would like to hear) Made you feel very relaxed and was a riot.

After doing some research, I came across this shop and reached out to Matt via email. He responded quickly and walked me through what my next steps could be. I scheduled an appointment with him to change out my jewelry, and he was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and attentive. Matt not only explained everything clearly but also made sure to follow up with me consistently by email, which I really appreciated. Within a few days, the bump started to go down. I was so impressed with the experience that I also had him replace my tragus piercing. Matt's professionalism, care, and follow-through truly set him apart. I don't see myself going to anyone else for piercings- he's definitely earned a loyal customer in me.
