Tat done by Linda

Went too this business with one of my children to have my first tattoo! Having had total anxiety about being from a different time of acceptance this was a great experience! The location is right off major roads, the building is large, parking is ample and it's in a safe environment. They take walk ins on Saturday which work's excellent for 9-5 folks. Upon entering I was very impressed by the staff, service, decor and cleanliness. Linda whom tatted me was a dream! The VERY BEST especially for a newbie! She was warm, engaging, professional, patient and explained everything. Linda prepared my arm with perfection! She made sure I could sit comfortably, I felt fine and if not please let her know. She was very attentive. My tat took very little time! Linda educated me about after care and supplied me with instructions and some cool swag! I highly recommend Red Octopus Tattooing! We traveled out of state because of Linda's Top Tier profession, knowledge, catalog and welcoming spirit. The vibe in the shop is sweet! Check them out! Linda and the front desk woman were a chef's kiss! Thank you so much for this awesome experience!

Ambigram done by Joker.

I had a couple tattoo ideas circulating in my mind for several years but never got around to getting them done. I recently saw my friend's memorial tattoo for his late father and I asked where he went and he recommended this place. I reviewed the website and contacted two specific artists: Noble and Joker. They both were highly responsive, receptive to what I wanted and were able to take me in for a consultation and do my tattoo in such a quick turnaround. I am VERY pleased with the results! Noble: Specializes in black/white/realism. Very great with florals. Joker: Specializes in color/realism/cartoons/etc. They were both patient and fun to talk to! I will certainly be back! THANK YOU!

Daith piercing by Ruthie!
Tahja P.

Tattoos here are amazing (amazing artwork and attention to detail) but my most recent experience with this great establishment was getting my daith pierced by Ruthie! She is AMAZE-BALLZZZZ! I was a bit nervous as this is pretty thick cartilage but she assured me she'd be gentle and quick! She told me to take a deep breath in and by the time she got to "out" (when she told me to breath out), she was done and cleaning me up! Other that a little pressure, I didn't feel a thing! Love it!!!

RUTHIE the piercer
Keeyhla R.

I initially visited in February 2020 to replace a triple forward helix jewelry replaced & discovered Ruthie. She is professional, precise, & listens to the customer. I previously frequented All American Tattoo (Manassas & Stafford, VA) for my piercings, but they got new piercers who were seemingly overwhelmed/ easily irritated with general inquiries & concerns. I plan to revisit several times because I always recoeve exceptional service.

Tramp stamp done by Johnny

It would get 5 stars if it wasn't always so crowded when I come in!! But I've been here twice and I've gotten 4 tattoos from this place. Johnny did two of them and Bryce did the other two. Kudos to them for how professional they are. They both make you feel comfortable and allow you to take a break if you are feeling tired. I recently got my thigh done and I specifically came in for Johnny but he wasn't In so they gave me Bryce instead. I was hesitant at first because I didn't recognize him but he was great !! I'll post the picture of two of the tattoos that I've gotten done by both of them . Johnny did my tramp stamp and Bryce did my thigh. Ps. If you are coming in for a tattoo on the weekend , make sure you get there early because the wait is usually an hour before you can even get in the chair.

Love the artwork they do here! I enjoy the clean, open atmosphere, the staff are friendly and professional. This is a place i enjoy coming to get tattoos. I highly recommend it and they also give military discounts/veteran discounts as well. Another bonus is that the artists are Vets as well!

I got my tragus and 1st gauge (14). No taper was used but it went quick and Ruthie was fun and pleasant. The tragus only hurt for 2 seconds. Care instructions were both told to me and given to me on a sheet of paper. I will be back again. Thank you.

Paul's Work is AWESOME!!!!
Paige M.

This my tattoo place to go. I only have two, but I plan to get more. I will always come to this shop. I've used to artist feom here and loved them both. Paul did my tatto on Tuesday, and it looked amazing! He was super kind, and made sure I was doing okay the whole time. This time I will not forget his name because I'll be going back to him!! I don't know if hell see this, but THANK YOU PAUL!! Everyone at my job says your awesome, and they keep asking who and where. I am pointing all fingers to you!!

Great atmosphere, did exactly what I wanted. Rico did a great job, would highly recommend him to tattoo you. They also offer really affordable prices. Rico also gave me an octopus stress toy that was adorable. I'll be getting my next tattoo here I also got a nose ring and they put it in for free which was cool

Great service at Red Octopus

They scammed me out of almost 300 dollars. Tattoo Artist was a no show, did not text, did not…read moreanswer his phone nothing. I called the Arundel Mills Mall to report what happened. I was promised my money back, but have not received my money.

In March I went receive two tattoos by a Artist of the name Tone aka "Str8.ink". When I arrived on…read moretime the artist was 45min late. After that , the artist didn't work on me for 3 three hours. By the time the first tattoo was done it too late to start on the second one. I was told to come back later on in the week for another session. When I arrived on time again he had me wait while he "ran errands". Then after an hour of waiting the artist was doing everything else but my tattoo. Had multiple people coming in and out of the shop with no masks on. The artist left with his friend while I was waiting in lobby. Even his friends that were coming in and out of the shop were asking when was he going to work on my tattoo. I arrived at 6:30 and got tired of waiting while and left at 11:00PM while he just sat in tattoo room with the door closed. I attempted to reach out to the artist but kept getting the run around about getting another appointment. I ended up just asking for my money back for the second tattoo and the artist didn't want to give my money back. The artist was very conniving and told me the $650 I gave him for the tattoo was non-refundable. Im currently working on a small claims to receive my money back. Learn from my mistake and take your business elsewhere.

My niece scheduled an appointment to have some work done by this local DMV tattoo artist…read more @_sebastian_tattoos He requested a $500 deposit be sent to him via an account transfer. Once he received the deposit an appointment was set for Feb. 10th. On Feb. 10th Anthony aka Sebastian canceled my niece appointment stating that he had to finish up with a client. Another appointment date was set for Feb. 13th. When that day came he canceled the appointment again stating that he was working on a client. Another date was set for Feb. 16th. Anthony canceled her appointment again, this being the third time. He stated that he was feeling under the weather and asked if he could reschedule for a later time that day. My niece had originally explained to Anthony(Sebastian) that she was here on leave from the military and that she would be departing on Feb. 19th heading back out of the country for active duty. Due to the many cancellations on his end my niece requested that he refund her money since he was unable fulfill his end of the contract. I also reached out to Anthony (Sebastian) to attempt to rectify the situation but he later blocked me when I insisted that a refund be given to her since he voided the contract the moment he canceled her appointment. Unfortunately we were able to find out that he has done this to other individuals. As a black community we try to support black businesses but with situations like this it makes it hard to do so.
