I did not get a tattoo or piercing or use any of this shops services. What makes this review 5…read morestars was the quality of service I believe was right for a customer to receive. 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's amazing going down the comments for this business and seeing everyone giving them five stars…read moreand giving them amazing ratings I guess I'm the only one who had a bad experience there lol but just a reminder they do great work if you want a great tattoo, I would go there, but be specific on how much you wanna pay because they will not hesitate to you want a tattoo like for example I paid $500 plus a $100 tip for a tattoo that was worth no more than $250 just a little reminder of the little shady practices this business does/and also they might deliver great customer service and a nice view to your face, but I'm telling you guys they will swindle you out of your money like I would not leave your purse alone in there like that's the vibe they gave me they seem pretty gritty and money hungry/oh, and also the inside of the business is very dirty. 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.

I just got my first tattoo done here by Casey and cannot say enough incredible things about her,…read morethis studio, and my experience here. First I'd just like to say... this studio is professional, clean, neat & tidy, and super inviting. You can tell that all of the artists there really take pride in their work and making sure you have a pleasant and comfortable experience. Secondly- CASEY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! HANDS DOWN. I booked with her because I was intrigued by her work and her style fit exactly what I was looking for. Her line work, delicacy, and precision of detail is so beautiful. At my consultation I told her I wanted flowers on my foot and she drew up a rough sketch and seemed to totally get what I was wanting. I told her I wasn't that picky about what kinds of flowers she did; I was very familiar with her work as I spent a lot of time researching and looking at her portfolio so I learned which types of flowers she liked to do a lot of. I trusted her and knew that whatever she did was going to look bomb. On the day of my appointment she actually ended up free-handing most of the flowers, stems, and leaves on my foot which I am still blown away by. Not only is she an AMAZING artist, she is super sweet, friendly, funny, and made me feel SO comfortable and relaxed when I was nervous about the pain. She is also super informative about tattoos and did a great job explaining the aftercare process for me since I was not familiar. Overall, my experience here was beyond what I could ask for and I would highly recommend this studio and especially Casey to anyone!! I have received so many compliments already, even my mom who was not thrilled about me getting a tattoo loves it! I totally want to come back here and book with Casey for my second tattoo.

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. Advice... never get a tattoo if you feel rushed. You won't love it in the end and will think about the what if's

Called this tattoo shop to see if they were taking walk ins on a Wednesday afternoon - The man over…read morethe phone said come on in! The shop is located on a sketchy street but once upstairs inside of the shop it is spacious and clean. I was lucky enough to find street parking around the corner. This is a cash only establishment and their is an ATM outside if you need to withdraw. My friend and I were getting small tattoos on our wrist and the prices were kind of steep - granted we did just walk in and we are in downtown Baltimore, so kind of expected.... When Danny (tattoo artist ) was about to start, a piercing appointment came in so he got that done right away. His technique was good, he was very clean, using new needles and gloves - it took less then ten minutes for two of my mini tattoos. I was charged $80. My friend was charged $60 for her one cross tattoo. Danny was great and had good customer service but I probably would not come back for the prices.

They don't accept card but kindly directed me to an ATM where I got out cash. The nose ring fell out again while i was just using the ATM. I went back after getting the cash and they told me to stop messing with it, which would have been fine if I was, but as a brand new piercing I couldn't bear to touch it. Here's where it gets a little sketchy... I ask how much the piercing it. He says "20..." I hand him the twenty and I watch his eyes go to my bag where he can see I have another twenty. Then he goes "...one. And I don't have change." So I paid FORTY dollars for a "twenty one dollar" piercing (though I'm convinced it was only twenty) and on my way home it fell out again. The whole "twenty.... one" thing left a bad taste in my mouth so I didn't want to go back. Obviously, the hole closed that day. I wrongly paid forty dollars for a piercing I didn't even have for a whole 3 hours. Would not go back.

Loved my experience here with Katie. Her tattoo skills are epic! I was referred to her. This…read morelocation requires an appointment. The minimum tattoo price would be $125. They also require you to sign a consent letter. Your encounter would be in a private room. One to one. It's really a nice setup. Nice comfortable chair. Reminds me of the dentist chair. Katie knew what I wanted and she made things pleasant. We had a good conversation. Next thing I knew she was finished. My appointment time was for one hour. It took less time for that because of what I wanted. They give you aftercare instructions. Which is also explained to you. This was my first tattoo with colored ink. So I had several questions which she responded to very well. I would highly recommend her. Also there is alot of parking available. Just be sure to let them ring you in. They share the space with the lower level. Which is a different business. The tattoo shop is on the upper level. They also have to open the door for you and you definitely have to have an appointment. I would return when I'm feeling another tattoo experience. Which I'm sure I will.

Rocks. The space is clean. All artists have their own closed room that has large glass walls on one side that can be frosted automatically for privacy. Cleanliness is a top priority here. I'm currently in the middle of a sleeve with John. Seriously. These folks are professionals. Take a look at the artist's portfolios and make an appointment already!

Writing this review after my second time visiting Red Thorn and it certainly won't be the last…read more I've now gotten tattooed by both Spencer and Masha and they were both excellent. The shop itself is great. Obviously clean and organized. Plenty of flash on the wall to look at while you wait and I was pleasantly surprised that even as a walk in, I didn't wait too long. I appreciated that both artists were able to create exactly what I was looking for with a very loose description. They both made sure I was happy with the placement and ensured I was comfortable during the service. Stopping by Red Thorn is quickly becoming my new favorite thing to do in my free time and I can't wait to go back.

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.
