The staff was super helpful and FRIENDLY and made me feel very comfortable the whole time. They were very considerate the whole time checking to make sure I was ok before continuing. My piercing came out beautifully and they had a great selection of earrings to chose from. My tattoo was also beautiful and I'm glad I listened to a few of their recommendations! Wasn't sure if I would want more tattoos or piercings but I'll definitely be back after that experience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I'll add my tattoo photo once it's healed :)

Communicated with the piercer for awhile before finally coming in with my girlfriend to get it done. It was very quick and as painless as getting that area pierced can be I imagine, and the atmosphere was chill and the price I paid for the piercing wasn't atrociously expensive (I have 8 piercings and they have ranged from fairly cheap to obscene in pricing). I would recommend this place, they knew what they were doing. So far the healing has gone very nicely

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........

Seeing as how I am an active member of the yelp community, I am going to try and keep this as…read moreprofessional as possible, because I am livid. If anyone I knew wanted a piercing, this is the absolute last place I would recommend they go. Bryan was our piercer and he had no interest in making me feel comfortable, making sure I was happy with my results, or hearing any of my input. I realize I am not a piercer but I've had many piercings and I've never had someone disrespect me or make me feel so uneasy about modifying my body. He didnt ask me to check and make sure the placement was ok, he didnt tell me what he was doing or when he was doing it. Thank goodness I couldn't feel when he pierced me (nerve damage). My belly button piercing is crooked and it was a repiercing. I asked him to go thru the original hole and he refused but told me it wouldnt look weird...ill post a pic and let you be the judge of that. My personal opinion is that he didnt give a shit about how it was going to look and wanted to make quick cash before closing.

My second tat was at Saints and Sinners in Baltimore, it is crooked and blown out. I will never go any place other than Artworx to get tattooed after that horrible experience at the other place. Carroll did my other tattoo on my rib and he has a light hand, which made the experience the least painful it could be getting tattooed in that area. The only thing that I can say negative about this place is the location, it seems kind of sketch especially next door to a liquor store. There are a lot of weird people coming and out of the shop while you are getting tattooed. But the shop owners and owners are nice and the place is fairly priced for tattoos.

The only negative was my artist was ready to go! Like I could feel that he really didn't want to do the tattoo. Maybe they had a long day because of the sale or holiday. But yeah... that's not the vibe you want from a person who's putting permanent anything on your body lol. In the end I like my tattoo. The experience just felt very rushed.

As a transgender woman I am very pleased to say everyone treated me super well and made me feel welcomed and at home. Also, the place is cleaner than the last hospital I was in, lol spotless.

I tend to be more shy and modest so before I even said anything he could tell I wasn't comfortable taking my shirt off in front of the other people getting tattooed and took me to a more private room. He was so kind and professional. He got the tattoo absolutely perfect not only to what I wanted but he was so specific and precise with his placement he literally did it perfectly. Very impressed and can't recommend enough!

After doing some research, I came across this shop and reached out to Matt via email. He responded quickly and walked me through what my next steps could be. I scheduled an appointment with him to change out my jewelry, and he was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and attentive. Matt not only explained everything clearly but also made sure to follow up with me consistently by email, which I really appreciated. Within a few days, the bump started to go down. I was so impressed with the experience that I also had him replace my tragus piercing. Matt's professionalism, care, and follow-through truly set him apart. I don't see myself going to anyone else for piercings- he's definitely earned a loyal customer in me.
