She made me feel seen and was very patient, making it clear that I could change anything about the design or placement before the needle touched my skin. At the end, she made sure that I didn't want anything touched up before finishing. Lastly, communication regarding the appointment was seamless (shoutout to Simone). Victoria is a very talented artist, and I highly recommend her and Bethesda Tattoo Company.

I waited a bit to get my first tattoo and so at the age of 58+ I contacted Liaa at Bethesda Tattoo…read moreafter looking over her work online and sent her my thoughts on a custom piece for my left forearm. She scheduled me in for a consultation and we went over the work that I was looking to get, she listened to what I was asking for, provided some feedback, and then said she would get to work on a rough draft that she would send prior to my appointment. The rough draft came via email, we proceeded to send ideas back and forth, I appreciated the collaboration and level of effort before I even sat in the chair. Liaa had an apprentice with her during my session, and she did a stellar job of working on my tattoo and mentoring a new person to the art. I am totally impressed with Liaa's work as an artist and plan to go back for another tattoo. I really liked the studio and am grateful for such a wonderful experience.

Linh who does piercings there was actually about to finish up for the day, but decided to still take me in (thank you very much Linh) had a great experience there! we were talking throughout my piercing experience it was my first time since my first lobe done as a baby. Linh was thorough with placement and talked about post-care and provides instructions. also shortly consulted about a possible next piercing, i would definitely go back to have Linh do my next piercings, the vibes were very much fun and comfortable. thank you so much!!

I was extremely fortunate to find EB and Tim a couple years ago and I am so thankful that I was…read more The level of professionalism that these two show with every appointment, consultation, and sitting that I've spent with them speaks to how dedicated they are to their crafts. Since I've started going to them, I have not looked to anyone else to take care of my piercings or tattoos. EB is super helpful and thoughtful and has a great eye for piercing anatomy, and EB also takes the time out of super busy days to reply to messages and follow up with aftercare advice. EB from the beginning has been so accommodating with each visit and truly cares about the healing progress of finished work. Tim is such a hard worker and diligent artist and always takes time before/during/afterwards to make sure his projects are top notch. Every time that I see Tim's updated portfolio, my jaw always drops at how his creativity and his style shine, he is truly one of the best artists in the area in my humble opinion. Their work collectively speaks for itself. Additionally, they both take sanitation very seriously as they do not cut any corners in ensuring that their clients are taken care of for peace of mind. I recommend both of them in the highest regard and I think you should look no further when booking your next tattoo or piercing. Also, they both really love the organic fruit leather snacks from Whole Foods, I usually bring it during my visits to share with them because of how much they both love it. Make sure you bring them some and let them know I sent you!

I'm leaving a 6/5 star review. The work speaks for itself. The art speaks for itself…read more I started working with Tim (IG @darkerplz) in October 2019 and ever since then he's done nothing but grow as an artist and a true professional. His creativity and the level of detail in his work are constantly evolving and it absolutely blows my mind. My Experience from start to finish on large projects, coming up with ideas together, and sitting in the chair for 8-9 hours in a day at times, has been nothing but a pleasant and wonderful one. Such a very humble and down to earth person. Great energy. Great vibrations. Great environment. I'm sure majority of his current clients would agree with me that he's probably the most sick and talented tattoo artist they will ever work with (I think that Is the case for me at least). If you're looking to get work done by this artist and at this shop, you will be in great hands and they will take care of you without a doubt. If you're reading this and considering getting work done, get on the books and calendar ASAP, Tim's quite a busy man nowadays lol! Peace and love,

For my personality, she was too talkative honestly, I could barely get a word in about my actual concerns and questions. She did make me feel very safe, and the piercings are healing well. Not sure if it's because I already have some piercings, but she didn't go very in depth with proper care and things to look out for. No mention of a follow up either, so it left me with some questions but it's not a big deal. She is very knowledgeable so if you ask she will definitely tell you. Almost forgot to include this but the person I spoke to on the phone to schedule the appointment was quite rude, I saw a few other reviews talking about this too and it was my experience as well. Very short answers, exasperated tone and language, overall not a great first impression. I went through with the appointment because of the positive reviews about the piercer, but the person answering the phone could definitely scare people off.

I don't recommend this place at all. If you are a parent and want to take your teen to get piercing…read moredone, this place will give you a hard time to do that. They want ID parent (I get that), they want birth certificate (I get that) but now they want a passport or drivers permit. My child doesn't drive. You would think with my ID, my child birth certificate and her school ID would do. They said that their insurance asks for this but as I search on Maryland laws doesn't say anything about this. This is their "business law" which is fine but parents don't take your children here because they won't help you.
