I can't thank Bobby Sylvestre at Blue Scarab Tattoo in Waldorf, MD enough for my latest tattoo. If anyone knows part of my story, I have two cover-ups, one that needs covered, and one BIG piece on my back that didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it. So it's understandable to be extremely picky for an artist. But thank God for Bobby. His work is the best and EVERYONE SHOULD GET A TATTOO FROM HIM. Super awesome to talk to as well. Oh and he has been tattooing for 20 years. The experience makes a difference. read more

Blue Scarab - I've had so many bad tattoo stories, so when I say Bobby Sylvestre is the artist to go to, I mean it with every part of me. - Tattoo Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

So i came here on Saturday to get a tattoo based of a recommendation from my old supervisor. I came in as soon as they opened and spoke with Amber. I was acknowledged as soon as i came into the shop. I showed Amber my tattoo and went it to the shop email. She printed it out and for a price from Martin. Martin is the tattoo straits who did my tattoo. The original tattoo was bigger than I wanted, so he drew it and resized it for me. My tattoo only took about 15 minutes. Martin was one of the best artist I've ever had a tatto from. This is my fifth tattoo and he applied just enough pressure and I felt no pain. The shop is clean and the staff are very talent and friendly. I will be back for more work. read more

I made my appointment for a tattoo on Saturday, I showed the lady at the front desk what I wanted and she consulted an artist on how much it would be. She had me pay a $50 deposit and told me to come in on Tuesday at 5:30. She was super friendly. I came in about 30 minutes early because I wanted to add something to my tattoo and the tattoo artist only charged me $10 more which I thought was a great deal. Darren my tattoo artist was super chill he did the stencil for the tattoo super fast and I was in and out of there in no time. It hurt pretty bad, most tattoos do, but he checked up on me and asked if I was alright a couple of times which was nice since it was my first tattoo. The tattoo came to a total of $91 including tip. I'm very satisfied and will definitely be back! read more

Jeff hooked me up! Went in to get my belly re-pierced and he first checked to make sure the previous piercing was indeed closed. And guess what, he was able to open it with not much effort and no re-pierce! He was sure to advise me that "most other shops would have proceeded with the piercing--necessary or not--and take my $45. All I paid for was jewelry ($10) and of course a great tip for Jeff. Friendly and HONEST. Highly recommend. read more

Well folks I had to remove a star. I was told to come to the shop today anytime between 1 and 9pm and Bobby would fix my tattoo he messed up. Smh I arrived at 3:45 coming from Woodbridge VA, Bobby was with a client and told his coworker to tell me he had an appointment for me at 6. Well who the heck is waiting that long, he never gave me an appointment and why didn't he come out and apologize and speak to me about this tattoo that looks like I got it done in the state penitentiary...I LEFT AND WILL NEVER RETURN..POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HORRIBLE WORK. read more

These guys were awesome. Went in to get my gigantic captive hoop changed to a smaller, more comfortable one. Took the guy maybe 10 mins to set up and change the ring for me. He even gave me advice on another piercing I had done at a different shop that wasn't healing so well. There's plenty of parking too and it's super easy to get to. Thankfully they stay open late also. When I'm ready for a new piercing I'm definitely planning to go back here. read more

I went to this shop a couple months ago with two friends to get matching flower tattoos in the ear. While I was extremely nervous as this was my first tattoo. The artist made me feel very comfortable and I'm very happy with the results. read more

I got my FIRST tattoo (3hearts with names) at age 40 and I am so glad I waited. Bobby did mine and it was all that I had dreamed of and then some. I loved it so much I went back the following year and got my 2nd one (Breast Cancer Ribbon with words) on my left ankle! OMG.. PERFECT.. and just when I thought it couldn't get any better.. I went back a 3rd time (the following year) and got my other ankle done (Breast Cancer ribbon with Angle wings) PERFECT!! I think I'm done, but if I'm not.. i'll be back. Wouldn't ever let anyone else do it. The staff at BLUE SCARAB.. ON POINT!!! Oh yeah... I'm 42 now! read more

We went to Las Vegas for our sons 21st birthday and there was Tattoo Expo at Mandalay Bay so we decided to check it out. I am so glad I did! We met Keith and crew and loved them! Keith does GREAT work and I have gotten more compliments on my tattoo. He is by far the best tattoo artist I have came across. He did my whole tatt free hand and it is incredible!! Looks like the next time I need some work done I will be flying out to Maryland from CA. Keith, if you are reading this....you ROCK buddy!! read more

I came here to get a nose piercing. I came on a weekday and only one other person was waiting. But I still had a bit of a wait. But only because the piercer wasn't in yet. But that's my fault, I should've checked before hand. The girl at the counter was nice. No 'tude. She even came back to the room at one point for support since I came alone. But by then, the process was basically over. I still appreciated the gesture though. The actual piercing went fine. The only problem I had was when I came back to them to change out the jewelry.. I had gotten a stud at first, and when I came back, I wanted a hoop. But I was told that that wasn't possible, because they didn't pierce me with the possibility of having different types of jewelry. (Which I have discovered to be false. When I got my nose repierced, I got it done in the exact same place, and I have a hoop now) So, I ended getting another stud. But this eventually pushed itself out because it had no back. I don't know why I let them talk me into that one. Once it fell out, I just left it out.. Anyway, at the time of the piercing, everything went smoothly enough. It was just the afterwards I had issues with.. read more

The whole atmosphere is incredible. Ashley is such a sweet person and is a great person to have at the front welcoming people in and getting them squared away (her hair is so cool, too). Bobby was the one who did my tattoo, and he is incredible. He's meticulous in his work and just an all-around good guy who made me feel so at ease about the whole process. I really appreciated that he was very straightforward with me - his pricing was more than fair, scheduling was a breeze, and he walked me through what was going to happen and what to do afterwards easily (which I needed because it was my first tattoo and I was very nervous). He takes pride in his work and is exactly the kind of person anyone should trust to put art on their body forever. Bobby and Ashley at Blue Scarab - if you read this, thank you for everything! read more

So I came to this shop to get Keith to do a tattoo cover up for me. After being put through the ringer with Keith starting work on me, having to pay fully, then up and leaving the shop all together in between the time of him starting work on me and having to come back and get my tattoo finished....I almost lost all faith in this shop. Bobby Sylvester came to the rescue. The only thing that was done to my tattoo before Bobby took it over was am attempt to fade it with white ink by Keith and a little bit of laser work by the owner. Bobby took my cover up and went above and beyond my expectations! He is an amazing artist who does amazing work and is so professional. Two hours later, my tattoo was everything I wanted and more. If you are looking for a tattoo artist who isn't going to BS you and really listen to what you want, Bobby is your man! He will be the person that does all my work and who I will tell anyone to go to! read more

Walked in to get a nose piercing on the fly....The lady who helped me fill out papers, etc. was very friendly. Mike was about 20 min. late, no biggie, I was nervous as hell anyway, so it gave me time to settle whatever contents I had left in my tummy....Mike was very patient....thank goodness he had a sense of humor......So, if you want to get your nose speared, head on over to Blue Scarab Tattoos! read more

A friend of mine got a beautiful tattoo on her foot and highly recommended the Blue Scarab. I went in to talk with someone about getting a tattoo on my foot. I met Bobby, one of the tattoo artists. He gave such a good impression and really listened to what I had in mind for my tattoo. I had it envisioned in my mind but wasn't sure how to translate it into a tattoo. But Bobby listened to the meaning behind my tattoo and came up with a gorgeous tattoo for me, in memory of my mother and in honor of my beautiful son! I couldn't be more pleased!!! I get so many compliments on my tattoo! I've since gone back to see Bobby for another tattoo. He has done no less than perfect work! I highly recommend the Blue Scarab and Bobby! I have also had the opportunity to see Keith's work on other customers and his work is phenomenal as well. Ashley works the front counter and is a sweetheart! Great customer service and very friendly. I have nothing but great things to say about this tattoo salon!!! I highly recommend them! My sister loved my tattoo so much that she has gone in to see Bobby and has gotten a tattoo as well! read more
