Best Tattoo Shops In Baltimore

“Had a great experience. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Both my partner and I got piercings. My partner forgot to eat in the morning and passed out in the chair. The person who was working immediately got water, sugar, and gave us all the time needed to recover. Thank you for being responsible when he forgot!!!
Also, SUPER affordable!“

“Studio 7 is the best! Tom is an amazing artist and insanely talented. I researched several tattoo studios and artists in MD for awhile before choosing Studio 7. Tom is by far the best artist hands down. He was super professional, easy to communicate and plan with, and made my idea, specific details and the designs I wanted come to life. The studio was very clean, cool, comfortable, easy to get to, and the pricing was fair. Even though some areas hurt way more than I anticipated or remembered from my first two tatts, Tom was really kind and patient with me and helped me get through it. Will definitely be going back for more work! Love my new pieces!“

“Ink was so helpful and attentive to my questions & concerns, regarding my opinions with great gentility & professional. Excellent customer service & communication before, during, and after the appointment. So satisfied with my nose and navel piercing— THE ONLY PIERCER IN DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE!! I highly recommend for piercing or tattoo needs.“

“Had an amazing time at Ripped! Went with a group to get friendship tattoos and it was such a blast. The place was super clean and welcoming, and the staff were so friendly. They even offered us snacks and cold drinks, which was a lifesaver on a hot summer day. Jose was our artist, but honestly, I'd be happy with any of the artists there. They all made us feel so special, and even the owner took the time to chat with our group. It really felt like a special Baltimore experience.“

“Mike King is a consummate tattoo artist. Very professional and personable. It was good to connect with Mike on person level while he crafted my tattoo of deep meaning.

Requested style: Buddhist mantra“

“I can’t emphasize enough what a great experience I had at Spellcraft! The space is clean and well-managed, with great vibes coming from all employees. I worked with Scott and am so grateful for his patience, skill, and encouragement throughout my sternum piece. The entire booking process was clear and easy, and the entire experience was well worth what I paid. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I love the service here Very reasonable when the prices I am coming back soon

Time going.I have never been so satisfied with the customer service and how they're reasonable.And I love my cover up tattoo And they really honestly do work with you I would.

“I got my eye brows done. Jillian was kind, gentle, professional and about her business. The service that she gives is priceless. It is worth every dollar. Sage Cosmetic Tattoo, is the place to go for your eyebrows. Treat yourself to more beauty. You deserve it. They turned out beautiful. I had my touch up at the end of June 2024, and that went as great as when she first did them. My eyebrows looks natural and on point. I recommend Sage to any one that desire to be good to themselves. I can't stop looking at them. Thank you“

“I walked in as a nervous wreck, being a tattoo noob, and from the get-go Anastasia did an excellent job helping me to quash my anxiety. The place was super clean (including the restroom and all surfaces), had excellent art on the walls, and a nice soundtrack. Anastasia was super patient, went really slow and carefully at first, and the rapport between us helped me tune out the discomfort of the procedure. My tattoo looks awesome, and a couple days later, there's no inflammation or discomfort. The only question is, what should I get next?“

“Requested style: I showed my stylist what I wanted and let him design it how ever he would like

Cleanliness: Very clean, the vibe in the shop is calming

Stylist: My first time getting a tattoo and came here for my first and I Loved my stylist! He was very chill and layed back, and he did an amazing job on my forearm took his time with it“

“For my first time ever getting a tattoo, this shop really solidified the experience for me. I called the shop soon after they opened & after hearing that they take walk ins, I sent my inspiration photos, calmed myself (because my nervous excitement was very real I found myself on the cobblestone streets where Saints & Sinners is. Dwaine greeted me & gave me a concise rundown of the process. Upon hearing it was my first time, he was very warm and reassured me that I was in good hands. Waited while my design was drawn up by Dave (who is also the resident landscaper) & took in all the inspiration on the walls. There were frames and books a-plenty. About 10 minutes later, Dave tells me to come upstairs - it's getting real now! From the time he laid the stencil down to the last swipe took all of a solid 20 minutes; I hadn't even got to the juicy part of the podcast I was listening to. After my tears (happy & bittersweet ones for personal reasons) and my payment, I left the shop with my tattoo wrapped well & with stickers, pins and lollipops in my aftercare kit. Sweet. All in all, this was easily the best hour of my day & I can't wait to see how well it will heal. You have a customer in me, Dave - thank you so much.“

“I went to Ray to get several tattoos over the last three weeks, after following him on IG, and seeing his beautiful work before and after pictures. I have six more tattoos that need to be covered up. Which will be done by next week. All I can say is Ray understood the assignment, and execute. He was very patience and understand what I wanted by showing him different pictures. I'm one happy customer. If your're looking to get some beautiful work done Ray is your man. He has done 3 of my covered up tattoos, and I 6 more to get done

Thanks Ray“

“The Pretty Scar had everything I was looking for in a tattoo shop. Champ took my ideas and designed a tattoo that incorporated all elements in a dynamic way. He was friendly, experienced, and creative with color and details in the final product. Very clean shop with a laid back atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Jon first tattooed me back in 2016 and he's done majority of my tatts (latest one being Sept 2022) His quality gets better and better as time goes on. Watching him progress and succeed over the years, to now owning his own shop- he definitely deserves it. The space is clean and comfortable and Jon really keeps it professional. I absolutely trust his judgement and ideas! His lines are clean and shading is on point. You can tell he really loves what he does & takes pride in his work. (as he should) Even over the years, the tattoos look great and I get compliments everywhere I go. Would highly recommend consulting with Jon about your next tattoo!“

“Airbrush Unlimited, Myrta in particular, was amazing to work with! They made hoodies for an upcoming Bat Mitzvah! The hoodies turned out so great- and Myrta was such a pleasure! Amazing customer service, patient, and responsive- everything you need from a vendor! The order was ready quickly too! Highly recommend- and can’t wait to use them again!“

“Sean is freaking awesome!! Did an amazing job on my haku tattoo. I will be coming back for more this is so dope. I walked in as well“

“I have gotten two tattoos at Chapterhouse now and have had a wonderful experience both times. Both tattoos were done by Paige, and Paige did a third tattoo for me in the past when she worked at Dark Arts. Paige is truly awesome to work with. She did a large cover-up for me, and it is flawless. She takes all of my crazy ideas and turns them into amazing tattoos. Everyone at Chapterhouse has been so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend.“

“Just got my nipples done and WOW Rampage did a WONDERFUL job! I had always been a lil scared to do any body mods but the environment and customer service in the shop relaxed me. Really chill environment. And I lucked up and came on Wednesday they had a two for one deal. Looking forward to my eyebrow and maybe even my gouch! Frfr ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This shop and Clay in particular is amazing. Just finished my first tattoo with him and already booked my second.“

“Quick easy professional and friendly service . Will definitely be back and 100 % will recommend.“

“My piercer, Sydney, was fantastic. She talked me through the whole process from start to finish during the piercing but honestly she was so warm and welcoming from the moment I walked through the door that I was already at ease by the time I went back. Any future piercings I get will absolutely be with her.

Cleanliness: The sterilization process was thorough and transparent, and everything was clean in the shop as well.

Stylist: Sydney was absolutely fantastic.“

“Cleanliness: It was very clean and sterile

Stylist: Bri was my piercer and she went over everything that would happen before and after the piercing and she gave me very special instructions on how to take care of it . She was also very funny“

“I've always had an awesome experience at Absolute Tattoo since the day they first opened their door in Baltimore.
Strictly professional and sterile each and every time. Shawn and Bobby both take pride in their work and it really shows .
Thanks guys“

“I can't say enough good things about Stay Humble in Baltimore! I went from having no tattoos to having two full sleeves and starting on my leg now, all done by the incredibly talented Diego Chacone. Diego is not only exceptionally skilled, but his creativity and precision shine through in every piece he creates. His attention to detail and ability to understand and bring my vision to life is truly impressive. Diego's professionalism and friendly demeanor make every session a pleasure. The shop is clean, professional, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. If you're looking for an artist who is both a master of his craft and a joy to interact with, I highly recommend Diego and Stay Humble!“

“One of the best tattoo shops around. I’ll fight anyone that says different. Everyone here is amazing, they make the atmosphere great to get work done in. Honestly though the best attraction here is the sweetest doggo. They told me I didn’t have to get on the floor to give him lovins but excuse me how could you not?! Anyways amazing shop, amazing people and artwork!“
