She was friendly and made it super comfortable for my friend and I while giving us options/recommendations and jewelry to choose from. It's been a year since I've gotten them and they've healed nicely and are some of my favorite piercings! The prices are also VERY fair, the best I've encountered in the area, would totally recommend!

The service from the location itself was fine, but I reached out to the artist on mangoly? I…read morehaven't heard back in a couple weeks. I was referred to that site for scheduling from the tattoo parlour itself, so it wasn't like I tried to reach out to the artist on the down low or something. Also, I prefer to see a tattoo parlour in person. I want to be in the space to see the look books and see the vibes (and cleanliness) myself. They were appointment only, so I didn't get to check out the parlour yet. I think some of the artists have some beautiful art, but as a potential client who wasn't given a courtesy email from the artist, it just feels eh. I bought two large pieces from a place in NY from the owner himself, who communicated with me directly quickly and personally over 3-4 months. I just expected something similar to that. Or at least to be more prompt.

It obviously rubs off to his team as they are ALL amazing artists. Fernando did my full arm sleeve and the amount of people that stop me to talk about the work is astronomical.

When you sit in the chair here whether it be a tattoo or piercing listen to when I say, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY about the quality of either as they surpass the expectations every time. 10/10 Recommended.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

Everything was clean and process was fast and easy. I'm not very experienced with tattoos and tend to be a baby with pain and can't even look at needles but Jacqi is very experienced and made the whole process smooth and easy. Definitely reccomend both Jacqi and Wicked Goddess- her art style is soooooo cool and even though I havent been pierced here they have a huge jewelry selection.

Wasteland tattoos is fantastic! Highly professional, fair prices, clean, efficient, and precise! I…read morehighly would recommend to all of my friends. The tattoo that I requested was very simple and small, and they could not have executed this more perfectly. Furthermore, this was my first tattoo, and they put my newbie nerves at ease immediately. Pros: Price: The tattoo that I received cost $160 (pre tip). They ask for a deposit of 50% in advance, and then have you pay the rest onsite. I believe that $160 is the minimum price for any tattoo here. Tripp provided me with a quote in advance, per my request, and was very prompt and direct about the pricing as soon as I provided him with an example of what I wanted, which I really appreciated. I initially felt like this price was a bit high, however I called several highly rated tattoo parlors in the area, and this was the lowest price for my simple tattoo. So comparatively, this place checks out, price-wise! I am glad I paid to have it done at Wasteland, as the experience was incredible. Accuracy: The tattoo was executed exactly as I requested-- I couldn't have asked for it to be any more accurate, honestly. It was simple, but I think with simple designs, any flaws are even more visible, in a way? So I was very pleased with how it came out. Friendliness: I had a very pleasant experience here. Banter throughout the tattooing process, I felt like my artist and I were just friends hanging out. There were upbeat R&B oldies playing, which put me right at ease. Pain: Truly painless, to be honest. I was shocked by how little pain I experienced. Honestly, it was reminiscent of a small scratch. Also super quickly completed. Simplicity of booking: Booking this appointment was so easy. I figure that this is partly due to the simplicity of my design, however I was still surprised how quickly they got me in. I was able to secure an appointment within a week of reaching out. When I showed up, they were ready for me, and the entire experience felt very streamlined and efficient. Clean studio: The studio was clean, modern, spacey, and private. The bright colors and upbeat music put me at ease immediately. Masks were worn throughout the process. Instructions on treatment/self care of tattoo: My artist provided me with detailed instructions as to how to care for my tattoo. I asked a lot of beginner, kinda silly questions, but never felt belittled, and felt like I was being taken seriously and really cared for just in the way that my questions were addressed. The care process was honestly very easy, and within a couple of days, I felt that it was pretty much healed up! A super easy and fun process :) Cons: Truly ZERO from me! I am so pleased with my tattoo and impressed with the overall experience offered at Wasteland tattoos. I am recommending to all of my friends in the DC area! Go here! You will not be disappointed, and your expectations will surely be exceeded, as mine were.

Went to Craig Pokes U with my friend for forward helix piercings and the attitude we got was…read morehonestly crazy. When we first walked in the staff seemed super friendly with other customers, but the second it was our turn the vibe completely changed. We waited over an hour just to be helped, then the apprentice seemed annoyed that we were asking about jewelry prices. Sorry for wanting to know what we're paying for? Some pieces were $300-$370 each, which I understand because it's solid gold, but the way we were treated when we didn't want to spend that much made us feel judged and uncomfortable. The actual piercing process was also not great. The piercer smelled strongly like cigarettes while working on my ear (not exactly comforting), and he was really rough with my friend's piercing and kept bumping into her other piercings during the process. Overall the welcoming vibe disappeared FAST and the whole experience felt awkward and judgmental. Save yourself the weird energy and just drive the extra 12 minutes to Mister Finister's Tattoo & Piercing for a much better experience.

The sisters even took their awesomeness to another level when a week later, our daughter's earring fell out by accident (while playing) and when we messaged Belleza, our phone rang within a few minutes and we were walked through the process of how to get the earring back in!
