I'm a germophobe and this shop is immaculate. All my tattoos have healed beautifully and have stayed crisp and clean. My color ones are still just as vibrant 10+ years on.

Upgraded threadless jewelry, depending on the piercing starts about $10 more than what's listed on the site. Any additional jewelry upgrades range from $30-$70. They show you all of your options and then it takes a few minutes while they prepare. Elena did my piercing and she was great! She made me feel very comfortable and gave lots of information for after care of my piercing including her card and the correct supplies to buy. The shop was clean and nicely decorated! I would return for other piercings!

I got my first tattoos here and it was a great experience! Due to the permanency and an awareness…read moreof my own OCD and perfectionism, I was stressed about getting everything exactly the way I wanted it. Seth was remarkably patient and worked with me to meet my requests on every last detail (size, aspect ratio, position, ink). (Embarrassingly, I asked him if we could move the template we transferred onto my skin 5 times for one tattoo, having to wipe it away and reapply it. It would have driven basically anyone crazy, but Seth was laid-back and understanding throughout.) The price was also very reasonable. As others have mentioned the private studio was clean and seemed well organized. Honestly, vibe at the studio is not something I care about (I just want a great looking, safe tattoo), but it did have a nice feel. In my case, I wanted something very specific (and relatively simple), rather than something creative from the artist. I got exactly what I wanted, and it looks perfect. Since this was my first, Seth also explained every step of the process to me as we went. In terms of safety, I saw all his new, packaged needles. (One thing I didn't verify was how he sterilized any reusable parts. ...something you could do yourself if you're inclined.) I'll definitely return to Seth for any future tattoos.

Beware! This "place" is a scam. Paid a deposit and scheduled an appointment with Nick Thibert on…read moremy wedding day. Texted and called this individual after my wedding to let him know we were on our way; no response or answer. We proceeded to the Ellicott City address. No sign of the business. Called the business number, went straight to a message saying they were closed. Found another address online in Baltimore. Drove up there, same result, no Goldleaf, only an Asian restaurant. The next day, Nick called me with some bogus excuse and said the only way I can get a refund of my deposit is by giving him additional money! When I suggested that he just deduct that money from my refund he pretended that he didn't understand, then hung up. Then he proceeded to text me insults. Do not contact this business they are scam artists.

Nick, the owner of Gold Leaf Tattoo, was professional, listened well to my daughters requests, happily made changes (of placement) as requested, was calm and encouraging and provided wonderful service in a clean and organized facility. In fact, he accidentally dropped the clamping tool right when he opened the package and immediately asked his colleague for a new one. He would not touch anything other than the new, sterilized tools or my daughters nose. Not even the drawer to retrieve the new clamp. I would recommend piercings here. And honestly, his tattoo art was pretty impressive as well.

Rick is the MAN! He did such an amazing job! I am beyond impressed with how much he paid attention…read moreto detail and how focused he was. He was also beyond inviting of me (a new client) that my buddy James had recommended! I had to reschedule a month in advances from my original appointment (ahead of 48 hrs) and literally there was a cancellation the following weekend and he was able to fit me in! He came up with the design when I gave him my vision and I am so impressed and happy with the outcome. It took 5.5 hours but the price was way cheaper than I was expecting it to be. Also shoutout to Casey, the owner, we were laughing and having a great time while she was there and her studio is so beautiful and very home-like and open. She was working on another client and we finished around the same time his tattoo looked amazing as well! Also, the other artist Ryan, he did a half sleeve while I was there and it looked so bad@ss and he too was so kind to me and he's also very good looking Overall, the location, the price, the quality, the service, the everything is top notch at this location! I loved every second from communication, to receiving service, to just feeling relaxed and comfortable. If I could give any advice, I would recommend getting a different type of saniderm aftercare bandage wrap. Mine came off that day after sweating (dancing at the club). I came back the next day and they gave me two patches just in case it came off. The bandages I've had at other places never came off at sweating or even taking a shower.

I don't think there are enough positive words to describe my experience with Casey and Foxwood…read moreTattoo Collective! I got a large thigh piece that spanned two sessions for a total of 9 hours. Casey was so warm and welcoming through the entire process. She clearly listened during my consultation and when I showed up at the first session her artwork was way better than I could have imagined. I threw a LOT at her to incorporate and she did it beautifully! Getting the actual tattoo was such a comfortable experience both sessions. She is kind, funny, and constantly checking in with you to make sure you're ok (and numbing you when you might not be lol). It's also clear she fosters a warm and welcoming vibe in her shop and it shows with how friendly the rest of the artists are as well. I'd happily spend another 9 hours in her tattoo chair and would love to do one of her intuitive tattoos in the future!

I have a lot of old tattoos, when my artist passed away I didn't trust anyone to do my work. Just from a piercing I went back to see about getting a cover up. Cody and Ray immediately got to work on ideas and they didn't stop until they came up with something that fit. Carlos did my tattoo, mind you its been 10 years since I had one. But he reminded me why I loved them so much. He matched it perfectly, light handed and done so intricately. Even with just the outline it already looked amazing, then no words could describe how great it looked and how you can't even tell the mess that he covered up that I wanted so badly gone. I HAVE FOUND MY NEW ARTIST!. Thank you guys, this means so much, how much time and details you worked on for me, meant everything Thank you and you know i will be back for more.

The first time I went in I had my nose piercing fixed because it had fallen out and it was pretty new so I was struggling trying to put it in myself. Ray 1) came in on his day off 2) was super friendly and got it done in 2 minutes without any pain! I decided to come back and get 3 quotes done on my spine, collarbone and side boob because the staff was just so friendly the first time around - and again, so happy with the service and the work. Ty did my quotes and I normally have a very low pain tolerance but he was super gentle and I never felt any discomfort or pain. Another thing I loved about this place was that they take walk-ins/aren't backed up on appointments like most places in the city. I'm definitely coming back here to get more done!!!!
