Anna S.

I recently went to Snakeman's to get a surface piercing done on my left hip. Before actually selecting a piercing shop, I did some shopping around over the phone in the Frederick area since I work nearby. Many of the piercing/tattoo shops I asked about hip surface piercings either insisted I do microdermal implants instead, or told me that this type of piercing was "a waste of money," which was a little rude. I am unable to receive permanent metallic implants of any kind for medical reasons, so microdermals were a no-go. However, when I called Snakeman's (which I had never heard of), their female piercer - who I think is named Rhonda - was very friendly and understood my reasons for wanting a surface piercing as opposed to microdermals. She was very sweet, and referred me to Steve to do the actual piercing. On another occasion, I called the shop to see if Steve was still there for the day (his hours are usually 11:00-4:00, I believe), and a gentleman answered this time. He, too, was very friendly and seemed like he honestly looked forward to doing business with a potential customer. I have to admit, when I showed up for a walk-in later in the week, the exterior of the place looked sketchy. However, I entered the shop and found that it was small but clean and organized. The lady at the front desk received me and I told her I was hoping to get a piercing from Steve that day. She went into the back and brought Steve out a little later. He was very personable and was willing to listen to me describe what I wanted without judgment or condescension, which, unfortunately, I have experienced in other shops before. He said he would definitely be able to do a surface piercing, and went to look for the jewelry. The only disappointment I had when I was in the shop was when Steve told me he would be using a curved barbell to do the piercing instead of a staple-shaped bar. On the phone with Rhonda (I believe) earlier, she had stated that they used the small, staple-shaped bars to prevent rejection. Steve told me that the shop had been having trouble with their clients who received these types of barbells during their piercing; the company that made them usually made the vertical bar too long so the piercing looked poorly done. However, I generally put trust in professionals, so I went ahead with the procedure despite barbell shape for $60. I was at ease the entire appointment, and Steve did a great job on my piercing! He took the time to make sure that he pierced enough skin to make for a sturdy piercing, and also took the time to make sure that the barbell would line up with both my hip bone and my preexisting navel piercing. I love it so far, and would definitely recommend Snakeman's for piercing procedures of any kind!

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.

Popped in to look at the decor and ended up having some jewelry changed. The employees were all…read morevery nice and answered my questions about pricing. 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. Nice little shop.

I've been to many piercers and Tom is by far the best one. I indubitably trust him to advise my…read morepiercing choice with my health and best interest in mind. I currently have 25 piercings, 21 of which were done by Tom. They are a variety of ear, face, and naval piercings and I will never go to another piercer. Tom's technique, sanitation, and eye for finding aesthetic placement that complements unique anatomy is truly unmatched. I sometimes come in and let him choose my ear piercing's placement because I know he'll do an amazing job. I have never had an issue with the healing process or longevity of Tom's work. Not one of the 21 piercings had issues with rejection, keloids, or an infection of any kind. I follow his care instructions and I truly believe his piercing method and suggested healing strategy is responsible for my piercing's success. He's straightforward about whether he thinks a piercing has longevity or not and if they could cause unintended damage. Tom's top priority is the health of his clients and the quality of his piercings. In the pictures the only piercings Tom didn't do are the 1st and 2nd lode piercings on both sides. I'm not attaching pictures of my facial piercings due to personal saftey preferences. It should be noted that my septum is pierced at a strategic angle that makes it look straight, even though I have a deviated septum; and my eyebrow and nostril piercings are placed in aesthetically idealistic ways for my anatomy.

Thomas at Dendar is awesome. He has done four ear piercings for me. His place is immaculately…read moreclean. His jewelry selection is a select, intentionally chosen selection of only high quality jewelry. He's super careful with the sterilizing, and also makes sure the piercing is EXACTLY what and where the client wants. This time I wanted a staggered piercing above existing piercings--super happy with the whole experience. Will be back for the next one soon. Thomas is responsive and transparent and forthright--I appreciate that. Thanks!

i genuinely enjoyed the process, getting a tattoo here is fun and makes it a great environment…read more Scott C. was fantastic and my fiancés mom and aunt went and got it done exactly how requested. will continue to go back. he did my entire left arm sleeve.

This might very well be the best shop in Maryland and one of the top on the east coast. Wish I was…read morebeing bias but just go to their Instagram and check out their list of artists. 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.
