Profesional clean and friendly. Absolutely recommend getting tattooed here. Frankie is excellent!

Three years after my last post and I am posting more praise. Chris is a great friend and amazing artist. We almost have my entire sleeve done and each touch of the needle constantly produces amazing mind blowing results. Russell and Frankie are extremely versatile and multi talented artists that produce outstanding designs and over the top final products. The new kid on the block Jonny has grown so much as a artist in the past year. He did several beginning tattoos on me when he was starting out and now he is producing fresh new designs and has stepped up his game in a short period of time. These guys are the best, you can't go wrong, there is not a design or style that they can't produce in the shop. They are BEST OF SHOW Mike Tyson Approved........ read more

I've gone to Oxblood several times now and I think I have four pieces done by Frankie now. He was also the guy I went to for my first tattoo. The shop itself is a super cool vibe. All the artists themselves are insanely talented and really give top quality ink. But really, Frankie has gone above and beyond every time. He makes sure I'm comfortable, he'll put movies or music on, makes sure you've eaten or rested. He's also available for any questions or advice after the fact. 10/10. Would recommend Frankie, or any of the artists here. read more

I came here a few years ago and had work done by Jonny, today he did mine and my grandmothers. It was my 83 year old grandmas first tattoo and he did amazing! It was also my biggest tattoo and the precision was perfect. We're both super happy the results!! read more

I have been getting work done by Frankie at Oxblood since 2021. His style is clean and vibrant. He's always professional, attentive and wicked chill. He works with me to figure out what would look best where and there's never an idea that's too much. I usually give him a general idea of what I want for my tattoos and pass on the creative control because I trust his work. 10 tattoos later and I've not been disappointed once. Atmosphere: 10/10. It's always chill at the shop and Frankie goes out of his way to make sure there's something entertaining to listen to or watch. Cleanliness: 10/10. Top tier sanitation. Everything from start to finish is always clean. Professionalism: 10/10. Frankie is respectful, kind and very down to earth. He makes sure you're comfortable mentally and physically no matter the tattoo placement. I love this shop. read more

Came here for a fundraiser for The Sidebar and ended up with a really cool sushi tattoo that people ask about a lot. Best random decision I've made in a long time. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the artist/owner was very professional and engaging to talk to while he worked. read more

Where do I start?! From the moment you walk into the shop, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the beautiful and inviting decor of the shop. Not to mention the cleanliness, which all 3 of the artist pride themselves on. All three of the artists are extremely kind, polite, & talented. If you look through their portfolios you'll find the artist the best fit you. Even if the artist doesn't normal do a piece or style you want, they will work hard to create something you love! My first four tattoos were done by Russel, the owner of the shop. He was very thorough with answering all of my questions and concerns at the consultation when we planned out the details for my appointment. He has always made me feel comfortable the entire time. He actually sketched the tree on me versus doing a stencil so it was perfectly tailored to me. Love all the work he has created with me and done for me! Every year the guys do a tattoo fundraiser for Lyme's disease that has affected one of their friends and pets. At this event they offer pre-designed flash for minimum donations of $80 I believe. I have two smaller ones and a medium piece from Frankie. Frankie also always made me feel comfortable. And I love all the pieces he has done for me. The artist will run after care with you once finished, make sure to follow through to help your art heal and be preserved for as long as possible. I swear by hustle butter! read more

Jonny Trappe was Amazing! I had a tattoo done somewhere else I wasn't happy with. He worked with me to make it amazing! He really made sure it was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him and his amazing talent! read more

Chris Mead is a great artist!!!! Very meticulous and very very good with detail. Would highly recommend all artists at this shop for a great tattoo. My wife had Franky do a couple and Chris did a huge momma lion and cubs for her. Chris did a full sleeve for me and I enjoyed every session. Great conversation and a lot of laughs as well. After this summer of 2023 ends I will be returning to finish my other arm. Thanks Chris and the crew at Ox Blood Ink!!! You guys are awesome!!! Frank Harris Arnold Maryland read more

Russell covered up an atrocious tattoo with a portrait of my soul dog with Victorian & moody embellishments. The portrait of my dog is absolutely accurate and the other details make it feel like home. Shop is clean, organized. 15/10 recommend. read more

I had my first two tattoos done by Frankie and had a great experience both times! He always makes sure that I'm comfortable and his work is beyond what I ask for! read more

I give this shop 5 stars because it is the best and only shop in the Baltimore area I will be getting tattooed. I got tattooed by the owner, Russell, in which he is a very talented and professional artist. For my first tattoo, he made me feel very comfortable while sitting for the tattoo and incorporated every idea I asked him to for a kick ass piece. I absolutely love my tattoo and am proud to wear it for the rest of my life! This is my family's preferred tattoo shop in which my mother, father, brother, aunt, and cousin have all been tattooed by Russell. If you want a technically designed and professional tattoo I highly recommend seeing Russell! read more

Oxblood Ink - Moses Tattoo (realism) - Tattoo Near Me - Severna Park, Maryland

Oxblood ink is the bomb. This tattoo shop is incredibly welcoming - so clean and organized. I've been going to this shop for 7 years now or so....it's been a long time... and I have never been disappointed. I've seen work from all the guys there and they are all so incredibly talented. I personally use Frankie Baker and he is so nice and great to work with. He comes up with some awesome ideas or helps me with my own. He is well versed in tattooing and has done some incredible artwork for me over the past years. Get to Oxblood! read more

I have 4 tattoos and counting from artist and owner, Russell. I've gotten little jammers, memorial tattoos and one of his signature Halloween Specials. He's a great dude and not an uppity business owner like some shops in the area. What I appreciate most is the time they take to actually help you and not just slap down some ink for your money. When I wanted a memorial piece for a long time friend and artist that passed away, Russ really took the time to design a great looking piece that was still sentimental. When I got a Mermaid for his Halloween Special, there were so many little details I loved. Can't wait to be back in area and go back. read more

Russell is the only tattoo artist I go to and I don't see that changing in the near future. He does amazing work, with great attention to detail. He's friendly and personable and he really makes every experience pleasant. This was my first time getting a piece done at Oxblood Ink but once I found out Russell had a new shop I knew I wouldn't be going anywhere else. Oxblood Ink is beautiful; very clean and everyone there is so friendly. It's a great atmosphere to be in. I will 100% be returning for Russell to do my next tattoo.

Chris is my artist and he is very professional and understanding when it comes to helping me create my tattoos.

I went to oxblood at the recommendation of my sister and I am happy to say I am not disappointed. This is a relatively new tattoo studio but I think it's going be around for a while. I called on a Wednesday night asking if they could do a walk in and they said yes! So I packed up my sister and headed down there. The shop itself is well decorated and cozier than other shops I've been to. Located in Severna Park, kind of in a weird place, the business center behind a McDonalds. Once I arrived they said they could take me and I needed to pick an artist. I looked through all 3 artists books and choose Frankie. I loved what I saw. Everyone there but especially Frankie, was: kind, polite, respectful, and considerate. I had him redo the stencil twice and he didn't even blink an eye about it. I asked him to do watercolor behind my tattoo and he did an amazing job. I didn't know what to expect because it wasn't part of the stencil but he really did a fantastic job. I've never seen someone do water colors so well. The price was incredibly reasonable. Very happy customer, I will be returning. Thank you Frankie! read more

Just got some new ink a couple days ago and am extremely happy with the tats! Chris Mead nailed exactly what I wanted. Not only that, but I asked for a change on the design at the last minute and he took care of it for me and rocked it! I will definitely be back! Thanks Chris! read more

Ria Rabitt did a small simple tattoo. As this being my first tattoo she was very helpful and told me everything I needed to know about how to take care of it! Overall her and the rest of the staff was very friendly! Definitely recommend! read more

Went to get my cartilage pierced, he told me it would be $30 for the piercing, and another $30 for the jewlrey, which was fine, but he was very unspecific about what jewlrey costed what. He eventually managed to insult all of my other piercings and called the people who did them idiots... told me that I couldn't use what I had been using for the rest of my peircings and they would cause cancer. My total came up to $95... needless to say I will NEVER be back. read more

Josh Morrow is amazingly comforting (all looks aside, he's a snuggly teddy bear). He's done four of my eight piercings and will continue to be a loyal customer. Russ is amazing and started (we came so close to finishing) this piece at the 2015 Baltimore Convention. He was crazy gentle, my tattoo is beautiful, vibrant, and barely scabbed at all! I definitely recommend first timers to see Russell. read more

Amazing shop! All the artist are super personable and their work is impeccable. The shop is immaculate and the artist pride themselves on being as sterile as possible. I got my 5th tattoo at the shop today and I couldn't be happier! Pricing is beyond fair for the level of work you're getting and their merchandise is rad. Check them out! read more

Russell is a talented artist and astute businessman that has assembled an awesome team of tattoo artists and body modification professionals. The shop is the only one in Severna Park, and fits the upscale feel of the neighborhood and surrounding community. It feels more like a trendy art gallery than a tattoo shop. If you're looking for some ink work done, you should definitely check them out. read more

The shop and crew are on point. Josh Marrow is not only great at what he does when it comes to piercings he is also a great guy! Frank is extremely talented and such an awesome welcome guy as well. read more

I am relatively new to tattoos. I got my first tattoo at a well known shop in Baltimore City and had a very poor experience. I felt like I was an annoyance to them instead of a customer. For someone new to ink, this was very disappointing. I start off by saying that because I had the exact opposite experience at Oxblood. Russell was fantastic, as were the other guys there, but Russell was my artist. He gave me a consultation where he listened to my ideas and provided suggestions. It turned into a conversation about the pieces and I felt like he was able to capture exactly what I was looking for. He sketched out what we discussed and it was perfect. His ability to make me feel comfortable and to assure that all of my questions were answered was awesome. The shop was so clean it felt like I was in a sterile operating room. Russell did the tattoo in almost the exact time he estimated and it turned out better than I had imagined, and also better than all the images I researched before going in. The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. I cannot recommend Oxblood enough. I will definitely be going back. Oh, they were also significantly less expensive than the popular Baltimore City shop and provided much better quality and customer service. If you're considering a tattoo, Oxblood is the place. read more

I want to thank Russell, Frankie, and Chris for their professionalism and Superior artistic ability. I have been to numerous tattoo shops. Never have I been to a shop quite like Oxblood ink though. As soon as you walk in the door and just see the decor of the shop you get an overwhelming feeling that you're in the right spot. I gave Russell an idea and he turned it into a piece of art ! I appreciate the professionalism and honestly that I receive from every member of Oxblood ink. After a few sessions I left with a piece of work that I will be forever grateful to have. Thank you!!!!! read more

Russ and the crew at Oxblood are amazing!! I can't wait to get back in the chair!!! I recommend them to everyone and I am constantly being asked where I got my work done because it's so amazing!! read more

As long as I am able to make conscious decisions I will only go to Josh Morrow for my piercings. If you see me going to anyone else, slap me because I've clearly been possessed. Josh is one of, if not THE, best body modifiers in the US. He's extremely knowledgeable on all topics when it comes to body modification and is super willing to share that knowledge to those willing to learn. Whenever I got a new piercing he went through how it was done, how it heals and what to do to have it heal correctly. Anytime I had an issue or question with a piercing, I was able to message him through Facebook and within an hour he had gotten back to me on the best course of action to take with it. I have had piercings by others that have rejected and were done incorrectly, but that is never the case with Josh. I never second-guess anything he says because, like I said, he's extremely knowledgeable and trust-worthy. Josh is also one of the nicest and most down to earth people I've ever met which makes it that much easier to have him put holes in my skin. He's super creative with placement and even the jewelry he uses, always looking for the next unique thing, which makes having work by him super awesome. He treats each client as if their piercing is the most important piercing to him, which is a really good and easy feeling. I have a lot of up-coming projects Josh and I have spoken about and I cannot wait to get them done! You seriously will not regret going to Josh, however you will regret going anywhere else! read more

Oxblood Ink is fantastic! Clean, comfortable, and safe. Russell was so easy to work with. He took his time, explained everything, and his art was on point. Definitely a positive experience and would recommend to anyone considering some ink. read more

Highly recommend Oxblood Ink. The shop is clean, modern and Russell is an amazingly talented artist. He covered up an embarassing tattoo (dolphin) I had gotten as a teenager, with a gorgeous mermaid. I can't say enough great things about Russell. read more

This is a high quality shop. It's beautifully decorated and has a relaxing feel. The staff are friendly and professional and very talented. I've had tattoos from 4 different places and this is the only one I'd return to now. My 19 year old just told me that she has an idea for a tattoo and I told her we'd pay for it but it has to be from Oxblood. read more

This is by far the nicest shop around. The artists are friendly down to earth people dedicated to what their craft. If you choose to go here know that you will be in good hands. read more
