Loved my experience here with Katie. Her tattoo skills are epic! I was referred to her. This location requires an appointment. The minimum tattoo price would be $125. They also require you to sign a consent letter. Your encounter would be in a private room. One to one. It's really a nice setup. Nice comfortable chair. Reminds me of the dentist chair. Katie knew what I wanted and she made things pleasant. We had a good conversation. Next thing I knew she was finished. My appointment time was for one hour. It took less time for that because of what I wanted. They give you aftercare instructions. Which is also explained to you. This was my first tattoo with colored ink. So I had several questions which she responded to very well. I would highly recommend her. Also there is alot of parking available. Just be sure to let them ring you in. They share the space with the lower level. Which is a different business. The tattoo shop is on the upper level. They also have to open the door for you and you definitely have to have an appointment. I would return when I'm feeling another tattoo experience. Which I'm sure I will. read more

Tattooed Heart Studio - Hello Kitty. My very first day of my Tattoo. I left a Happy customer. - Tattoo Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

How have I never left a review for this place!? I've been going to artists here since they were in the old location. This studio is by appointment only - no walk-ins. Every. Single. Artist. Rocks. The space is clean. All artists have their own closed room that has large glass walls on one side that can be frosted automatically for privacy. Cleanliness is a top priority here. I'm currently in the middle of a sleeve with John. Seriously. These folks are professionals. Take a look at the artist's portfolios and make an appointment already! read more

I had my first tattoo today with Andrea Jensen, and even with my most hopeful thinking did not think it would go nearly as well as it did! Andrea is immensely talented, creative, genuine, and professional! From the beginning of my consult up until the end of my session, her support and gentleness throughout the process made the experience much more comforting to me. I had zero doubts with her and wouldn't want to get a tattoo by anyone else! Andrea has beautiful line work, a unique style, and an approach to tattooing that is both spiritual and grounding. She is aware that the way her clients perceive their tattoos is tied into the experience that goes inside its creation. She is empathetic to the pain felt while getting tattooed and tries everything in her ability to lessen the discomfort, from offering food and drinks to giving free extra supplies during aftercare. The price was discussed prior to my session and there were no extra costs that surprised me. I did not have to sit in the lobby and wait for her, either-- when I arrived she was ready promptly and was friendly from start to finish! She made sure I was hydrated, didn't need to use the bathroom, and sterilized before even beginning with applying the stencil. There are also various mirrors throughout the lobby and in Andrea's office that offer different perspectives about how your tattoo would look. The lobby is beautiful, VERY clean, well lit with natural lighting, spacious, and adorned with plants and original artwork. Everything seems advanced here, from the dryer in the bathroom to the glass walls in the private studio rooms that change to foggy glass at the click of a button for added privacy. Andrea's office is full of her personal sketches, some crystals, and a couple mindfulness books. When I needed a little distraction throughout my 3 hour session it was nice to simply sit back and look around. :) Side note: If you get a tattoo from her and want it touched up down the line, she touches them up for free! Andrea is amazing! Andrea's work is amazing! And Andrea is humble through it all, even recommending other artists in the shop for me to check out if I was looking for something different. I'll definitely be back! read more

Beautiful and clean location. Very private and professional. I found Kinsey on instagram and fell in love with her work. Scheduling was simple and the work was performed as promised and healed quickly. Can't recommend this shop enough. read more

John is incredible. I knew I wanted a mandala tattoo on my upper back for a long time but I hadn't found the right artist to do it. Fast forward through a ridiculous amount of Yelp research to John - as soon as I found him and got a glimpse of his previous work, I knew this was the artist I wanted to tattoo my mandala. I drew up the design myself (only because of the meaning behind the piece), reached out to him via his website, and he sent me a message back same day. This was my first tattoo, so I was definitely nervous going in but I was able to bring my sister along with me and the atmosphere of the private room was very calming - dimmed lighting, salt lamps, healing crystals, laid-back background music, etc. When I arrived, he printed out multiple sizes for me to choose from and made sure I was absolutely certain the placement was exactly what I wanted before we got started. His line work is extremely precise and my mandala turned out exactly how I wanted it! Afterwards, he took his very thought-out pictures for instagram (clearly, he's a pro) and walked me carefully though the healing process. John isn't cheap, but he's an insanely talented artist that's adding a permanent piece of art to your body. Pay the money and book your tattoo with John, it's worth it. read more

I brought my sister here to check it out. The shop itself is nice, the staff is friendly enough, but we had to pass on the work based on style. She didn't want a geometric piece, which is their specialty. She wanted figurative, or what some call representational artwork. They were decent about her declining their services, but somewhat surprised. I don't think what they charge is commensurate with the quality of work. With all the shops available, it's a buyer's market. I wound up taking her downtown. Seriously, what's in Hanover? read more

I traveled over 300 miles round-trip, twice, to get my first tattoo here. I can attest that it was totally worth it! I wouldn't have gone anywhere else or had anyone else but Natalie Seki! She created an amazing work of art that I now get to display proudly forever. Everything about the experience was terrific and I highly recommend THS to anyone looking for a tatto read more

I got a tattoo done by Tory Destromp back in 2014. I was very nervous because it was my first one. When I first went to the shop to talk to Tory I showed him what I wanted to get and where. We talked about what it meant, the style, placement and date and time to have it done. He truly wanted to make sure it was something I wanted to do. I mean it is a big thing The shop is extremely clean and all the equipment is sterile. The place is very professional and artistic. The tattoo artists and staff were very friendly and funny. I was super nervous and Tory helped calm my nerves. His design was incredibly beautiful and I could not be happier about it. Tory talks to you when you are having it done and makes sure you are doing okay. He is a true artist. I am thinking about two more tattoos currently and will definitely be getting them done by Tory. read more

Such a beautiful space and energy. I really appreciated the appointment-only availability to the public, this is absolutely a different, and better, tattoo studio experience. Kinsey kicks ass with her art and inviting personality. I instantly felt at ease and didn't at all feel like I had been there for 6 hours of our session. She was gentle and communicative about any discomfort. I would definitely visit this studio and Kinsey for my work in the future and recommend to anyone who will listen. read more

Tattooed Heart Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

This is my fourth tattoo, but by far this tattoo shop is my favorite. They only go by appointment so you contact your artist directly which I really like. I contacted Meredith and she was always prompt, polite, and professional. I couldn't ask for a better experience and I plan on coming back for future projects. She was very thorough about making sure I like the tattoo as well as making sure she kept everything clean. I would recommend her, and this shop to anyone looking for great and competent artists. read more

Yes I got another tattoo and yes I just had to come back to Tattooed Heart to get it. This time I got a chest rocker of my daughter's name just under my collar bone. Again I told John what I wanted and I said my daughter's name in script, he said cool and we made the appointment on my birthday. I came in and he said here is what I have. I have what you asked for, Samantha in script but I also have this and he showed me her name done in like a stone lettering. He told me that everyone has script on a chest rocker and he wanted to do something different. Well as usually it turned out awesome!! John never disappoints, just give him the artist freedom and he will come back with a beautiful piece of art. The tattoo took a little over 2 hours to do. John was in the zone most of the time and it went by faster then I thought it would take. The people at Tattooed Heart are amazing, very friendly, it feels like I've known all of them for years. I will not go somewhere else to get my work done, John is the man and will continue to get my tattooes from him. I also got my ears gauged to an 8 by Jenn who is just great person, very friendly, I could talk to her all day. She is very knowledgable and will give you honest answers to what's best for you and your body, no BS involved. I will be going back to her to get my ears stretched to a 6 gauge in another week or 2. I could try it myself but it was a pain doing it myself when I first started out at 18g and went from there. Stopped doing it myself at a 10g, just want someone who knows what they are doing from that point on. Tattooed Heart can do it all. Jason read more

As good as it gets. I have been going to Tattooed Heart for several years and I am always happy to recommend them to anyone! John has drawn and tattooed 3 unique pieces on me and I regularly get compliments on his artwork. Amy did a piece for my arm and it is unique and stunning. The studio is clean and professional and very artistic. Everyone I have met at the studio has been very friendly with a positive attitude. John and Amy have worked with me on budget limitations and I really appreciated that. Tattooed Heart is the only place I will go for tattoos. I cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

I booked a full day session with John at Tattooed Heart Studios, and my experience there was amazing!! The atmosphere of the studio is calming and relaxing, and everyone is extremely friendly. John was very accommodating and kind, not to mention that the half sleeve he completed for me exceeded all expectations. They truly are experts in the field that they specialize in. Booking a session through email was very easy, and I am in love with my tattoo. I would recommended this studio to anyone wanting a tattoo that fits the artistic styles of this studio. John's linework and attention to detail is amazing!!! Could not be any happier. read more

It's been a few years since my first and only tattoo so I've had the itch to get a new one for a while. To my delight, an artist I've been following on Instagram (Natalie Seki) just happened to relocate to the area. I ended up having a tattoo done on each forearm by Natalie. Absolutely lovely experience from concept to execution. She was very open to my ideas, gave recommendations on alterations (which I followed because she was right - what I wanted originally wouldn't have worked as well for my brown skintone). She had a very light hand so the two back-to-back sessions I had were just barely above uncomfortable. Even then, she always made sure to check on me to make sure I was doing OK. Check out her IG (just her name) and if you click with her style, please consider a session with her. You won't regret it! read more

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish with Andrea. We emailed back-and-forth a few times to get started, I sent my deposit, and got a sketch before my appointment. I initially wasn't completely sure what I wanted style/design-wise but she quickly figured it out by asking the right questions and requesting reference photos. She knew what I wanted more than what I knew or could describe, which was a great (and reassuring) feeling! The sketch absolutely blew me away, and I couldn't wait for my appointment. But, to my surprise, the tattoo is even better than the sketch! Andrea was very thorough in her preparation, cleanliness, and in making sure I was comfortable. The studio is amazing and private, which I appreciated. Andrea is a great conversationalist, which helped distract me from any discomfort. Since I am from out of town, I asked for some dinner recommendations, and she even ordered takeout (because I wanted to go back to my hotel and crash). She is amazing, and so is her art. Highly recommend Andrea and Tattooed Heart Studios! read more

What a great experience! This shop is a well-oiled machine and John is a very talented artist. I was comfortable with everything from beginning to end and have a really great tattoo! I highly recommend booking your next tattoo (or first!) at Tattooed Heart Studios. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place is amazing, very relaxed and clean environment as well as inviting and friendly. I came here to get tattooed by Natalie Seki because I really like her brushwork style. It was worth the wait and I'm very happy I found this place. Highly recommended studio for anyone. read more

Great shop, professionally run, all the staff friendly. Worked with Paul after a recommendation to this shop and looking thru the portfolios. Paul helped put my vision into a nice piece at consult, shot me his draft a couple days before, incorporated my changes, and did the work professionally, ensuring I was comfortable the whole time. Awesome job on the tattoo. Definitely back for another. Not cheap, nor should it be. read more

Great artists...great shop. I had John design a flowery geometric-esque mandala for me...it turned out better than expected. It was a little pricey, but worth it for such great work. I highly recommend this shop and I will be getting tattooed here again in the near future. read more

Tattooed Heart Studio - The "flowery geometric-esque" mandala that John designed for me - Tattoo Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Natalie Seki of this salon did my first (and only) tattoo. I had the idea of a small piece of art to remember my wife. At the consultation we talked about concepts and colors. I wanted my wife's signature incorporated so I sent Natalie a photo and she replied with a lovely original, elegant yet simple design that perfectly typified my wife. The result is beautiful and discreet. Ms Seki's work is lovely beyond description; her personality is calm and calming. The salon itself is elegant, beautifully decorated and gives the impression of a very high-end beauty salon - which I guess it is. I couldn't be happier with the result. read more

Best tattoo experience EVER. Great customer service, very clean, very spacious, just fabulous Most importantly, Amy is so friendly and TALENTED! I was 150% pleased with my piece and she was so enthusiastic about it! GO HERE OK!!!! read more

First off, I would hate to go to place and get something permanent with anything less than 5 stars to be honest, so I give Tattooed Heart Studios a five star for sure. Second, the shop is super clean, you can tell they take pride in keeping it that way too, even the bathrooms are super clean. Third, I wouldn't worry about a saving few dollars here and there when getting something permanent done, but compared to other places I looked at, Tattooed Heart Studios had really great pricing. I have gotten two tattoos from here and have been with two of my other friends while they got work done here, all of which were nothing short of great. I really suggest Marcus Decker, his work is awesome, I think his specialties are bio-mech and graffiti (I'm sure he can do anything though). The first piece I got came after a coworker highly recommended the place, which is about an hour away from my house. Marcus did an amazing job on a stencilized portrait of my grandpa, which I love because its not a typical portrait style, its more of a graffiti style stencil. For the second time going, my girlfriend and I got Key and locket tattoos in a Gothic style art. We came there with just the idea and he drew up ten better ideas than I originally had and tweaked it to our personal liking. The whole tattooing process with him is great, hes cool to talk to, he precise, he doesn't bury the needle into your skin too deep (meaning his tattoos haven't "bubbled up" on my or faded from being too gentle even after two years), and he keeps you company during the tattoo. He also touched up my first ta too after I got my second tattoo for free (not that there was anything wrong with it I just wanted some small things added). Overall great experiences with Tattooed Heart Studios, I really couldn't ask for more from a tattoo shop. My suggestion is to come in with an idea because any of the artist there is super experienced and can give your ideas its own personal touch and make an appointment because they do a lot of shows, etc. read more

From start to finish my experience with this studio has been 5 stars. My artist Kinsey knew exactly what I was looking for after my description and came up with a design that I knew was "me" the moment I saw it. The studio is clean and well decorated with a chic feel. I felt like we were old friends and we chatted through my whole session keeping me distracted. My tattoo looked exactly like my design and took less time than anticipated. Wonderful experience! read more

I love this place!!! This is my third trip to THS and I really just love this shop. Professional, clean, amazing energy and fun. My first tattoo here was from Amy and she was amazing!!! I got my nose pierced by Jenn and she was so helpful in finding an alternative stud for me since I have a horrible nickel allergy. It's been 4 months and still no problems!!! This last visit John tattooed my husband and I. As I expected he did an amazing job and was awesome!!! I really can't say enough great things about THS. I think one of the best things about this place is these guys aren't just tattoo artists, they are artists. John had some amazing drawings he is currently working on laying out in his area and Amy was sketching when we walked in. Amazing artists in this place!!!! read more

This is a gem of a studio. I took my daughter for a piercing and we were helped by Dan. He was professional, personable, and very informative. The studio itself is attractive and super clean. Everyone we encountered was friendly and knowledgeable. No question went unanswered and my daughter's piercing looks fantastic. We would absolutely return. read more

I spent about 16 years contemplating my first tattoo....I knew I wanted a mehndi design and was searching local artists that did this style - enter John Garancheski. This guy! He is a master of his craft 1000%. He takes the time to make customized elegant art and I couldn't be more thrilled with my beautiful result. The studio is large, clean and just...amazing and the staff is friendly and professional. I think I might be addicted now :) read more

I don't know if he still works here, but I got my quarter sleeve done by Evan Olin. I like it a lot. Prices are what you'd expect for good work, $125/hour. I would like to come back here for some more work in the future.. when my funds allow for such ;) Nice, clean shop and the dudes who work there all seem cool. read more

Worth the wait!! My fist experience at the Tattooed Heart was a great experience. A clean shop with friendly customer service. Amy was great throughout the whole process, from the design phase to finished product. Thank you, you gained a repeat customer. read more

I've only got one tattoo in my life and I found this place after reading reviews. First, this place is really nice - not some grungy joint. The artists have a portfolio ready for you to review. I regret not having John do my tattoo, because people swear by him. The person that did my tattoo had a lot of Satanic posters up which was a huge turnoff, and he was a little too open about some of the things in his life. But he still did a great job. He no longer works there. What impressed me was that John called me up the day or two after and asked about my experience and listened to my concerns about the professionalism of the artist. I don't know if I'd ever get another tattoo but if I do, I'll be coming here. read more

Got my first tattoo yesterday, no gonna lie was a little nervous but John and company set me at ease with fun energetic crew, that was very reassuring. Everyone was very welcoming and genuine. I had a great session with John, he answered all of my questions and concerns. He did an excellent job on the realism duckwing I got, it looks amazing. Still a little sore from it, as I got the duckwing on my inner arm but had a great time and can't wait to go back to get the other arm done. The shop was very clean and everything was sterile. I will be going back soon and I would definitely recommend THS to anyone going for a first tattoo or any tattoo for that matter, unbelievably awesome. Thanks again John read more

I've been going here for over 8 years, and have had multiple pieces done by various artists, and would never dream of going elsewhere! It's a clean, well-lit shop, with friendly and experienced employees. The artists are AMAZING. I've recommended it for years, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

This was my first tattoo. Amy was kind, helpful, and a joy to be tattooed by. After an initial consultation she created an awesome piece. She was very sensitive to what I wanted, and listened carefully to me. Everyone else that I met during my four sessions were fun, welcoming, and seemed very down to earth. The whole studio is very clean, and it is clear that they take a lot of pride in their work! read more

I've never written a bad review in my life but this place was a serious disappointment. I followed their websites instructions for how to set up a consultation and it's been over three weeks with absolutely no word back. I've emailed twice and still nothing. I find it pretty awful that they pride themselves on their customer service and friendly approach when they completely ignored a potential client with an open arm and wallet. Luckily I found someone else highly recommended in the area and she got back to me the next day. I guess it worked out for the best but I hope this place gets it together. read more

I love and adore Tattooed Heart! Had my ink done on Oct. 7th by Paul who was funny, engaging and brilliant with his vision and translated exactly what I wanted into the perfect first (a happy, cartoon-style cat) and second (contemporary cherry blossoms, vividly colored) tattoos in my life. Sarah made the experience even better by making me feel at home and totally at ease by holding my hand and talking me through first ink scariness, the perfect ambassador. Amy fascinated me while I was waiting by showing me some of her works in progress, and the studio as a whole was just simply fantastic. I could have stayed for hours if I had more $ and if it wasn't so close to quitting time, but TH is the right kind of studio for me. Can't wait for my next sitting...everyone needs to run, not walk to TH because you cannot go wrong with any of the crew working their magic. Thank you JG for having such an amazing place! Roxy loves you guys! read more

I was impressed and enjoyed my experience as a whole. The tattoo artist Meredith who was very kind and patient as I decided what I wanted and because of her I wasn't apprehensive and very confident in her ability to the tattoo the way I wanted and to do it well. The tattoo she did for me is absolutely stunning! She did an outstanding job! I can't thank her enough. The studio's interior design was impressive as well as clean and comfortable. They deserve a rating of more then 5 stars! read more

From beginning to end John ensures such a wonderful experience. He just finished up a 3/4 sleeve, it's amazing and I love it:) Thank you sooo sooo much man read more

I could not be happier with my visit to Tattooed Heart Studios. The studio itself was clean and inviting, the administrative process simplistic, and the customer service top notch. My artist (Paul Natale) was nothing short of a consummate professional in regards to his artistic prowess and net skill. Artwork aside, Paul is an awesome guy with an epic sense of humor. My endorsement of this studio and the artists who work there (with a special emphasis on Paul) could not possibly be any more positive. read more

I have been going to Tattoed Heart Studio for going on four years now. I have a full right sleeve and about half way done my left as right now. This shop is unbelievably clean, fun, organized and highly maintained above all standards. All of my work is done by the owner (John), who is so unique and talented at what he does. His other artists that work for him such as Amy, Nate, and Paul are awesome as well. Each of them have different styles of art, and this team works hard, has dedication, and cares about your tattoo just as well as you do! Even when it comes to the people at his reception; truly amazing. Your satisfaction is what they aim for and they hit the bullseye each time. My words of advice: if you ever decide to get a tattoo and your in the surrounding area, do yourself a favor and go to the best shop because you won't be disappointed. As long as I live around the east coast; this is surely my only home for fine ink! Thank you Tattoed Heart. read more
