Can't recommend Captain Gordon, Christie, and Pari enough!!!!!…read moreI've gotten 20 piercings and 2 tattoos done by Time Bomb since 2019 and have had nothing but amazing experiences every single visit. Can't forget to mention that their shop is filled with the "Curiosities" portion which will entertain you for hours. I spot new trinkets and oddities every time I'm there. If I had to use one word to describe operations it would be "CLEAN". Their sanitation protocols are beyond medical standards and the term "professionalism" would be an understatement. Even as a seasoned piercing client, they're all still diligent in ensuring I'm updated and informed on aftercare practices as well. Advanced piercings, helix, lobe, and nipples, a wrist tattoo, and spine piece later, I'll always chose Time Bomb as my body mod providers. A full bodysuit tattoo piece is in the near future, and I can't wait!!!! I would and still do recommend Time Bomb to everyone I come across. Services: Ear piercing, Color ink tattoos, Tattoo aftercare, Piercings, Tattoo design, Female tattoos, Tattoos Requested style: Custom, easy to heal, low maintenance, and consultation in placement were all part of the process in piercing and tattoo decisions. Their team of professionals were able to answer all my questions and give sound advice in how I'd experience and heal from the new pieces. Cleanliness: I've walked into doctor's offices less clean than Time Bomb's shop. They take cleanliness and sanitation to a new level and it helps make the experience feel safe and cared for Artists: My piercers were Alden, Jasper, Christie, Captain, and Pari, tattoo artists are John and Captain. I'd recommend all of them, although Pari was supernaturally fast with her piercing experience (3 helix's). No joke, it took under 5 minutes to place, prep, pierce, and clean up. The piercings themselves took maybe a minute and a half. Both Pari and Christie made the piercings hurt less than expected and have such a skilful and delicate touch that they're experts in their industry.

Pari, who installed my newly purchased jewelry, was quick and sanitary. I would recommend them for piercing but since I haven't had a tattoo there, I cannot speak to those services.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the shop, my experience and Charli. Upon entering, Jess greeted me and made me feel welcome. After waiting a few minutes, Charli came out to say hello, talk about my tattoo and gave me her opinion of what to do. She drew the stencil, placed it where we discussed and did her thing. It ended up being beautiful, beyond what I had imagined. She's so incredibly talented and her work is just fabulous. The attention to detail and working the tattoo in with what I already have - perfection. I'm so happy. I booked another appt with her in a few months. If you have any doubts - don't! Book the appt and see her!

Everyone here is as good as it gets. Both men and women artists here take their jobs seriously and kick every tattoo right in the ass. I don't think I'm 7 years of being tattoo'd that I've wanted to be in a shop so often. You're in an old Victorian style mansion with giant glass windows in the middle of downtown Frederick, Maryland, enjoying life and getting tattoo'd. 10/10 experience. I personally go to Matt Torres @tengutorres on Instagram. My opinion, which is why you're here anyways, is that Matt is the best Japanese artist in the DMV. Out of all the artists I've been too, he cares the most about his customers. If you don't want a big traditional Japanese tattoo, maybe stop reading and go to another very talented artist in the shop (literally anyone, even their apprentice kicks ass) but if you do want something like this, Matt is it man. You get a zoom meeting to plan, you work together, he plans it out, he shows up early every time, he's ready. He studies his work, he studies the Japanese tattooing style, he reads up. You know what you're getting is better than the next and feel better self confidence wise. I promise you will never be disappointed in Matt's booth.
