“The tattoo artist was very patient, professional and understanding. Had a pretty good conversation with him. The tattoo I got was on my upper arm and it kinda tickled rather than hurt. If live in the DMV or visiting while you’re willing to get a tattoo, that’s the place to go I promise it’s worth it. It’s pretty affordable depending on what you get.“
“Kyle was incredible and did an amazing job! I am always continuously impressed with the service, experience, and quality at Fatty's!“
“Today I got a perfect little tattoo by a young lady named ley! She was incredible. Very helpful and patient with me ( I hate pain)… after two Bad Bunny Video (playing on the wall) I was done! The shop is very clean and the staff is amazing. They are all Spanish speakers but made sure to keep me in the loop and switch between the two languages. Wish I could give more stars! Also wish“
“I had my 2nd lobes piercing for the first time today by Maddie and she is AMAZING! Not only is she super skilled with her techniques, she is also a ball of personality!! My piercing didn't hurt at all and she really took the time to educate me about the aftercare. Also, the aftercare package (which is an optional purchase) is the CUTEST package EVER! It has an instruction card, their stickers, lollipops and a pack of Q-tips to help you take care of your new bling. It really goes to show that Maddie and the rest of the crew really care about their work even after you leave their shop. I can't wait to come back for more piercings with them! Getting an appointment was super easy. Parking was plentiful as well. I like that they have reserved parking spots just for their customers, but there is a small public parking lot within walking distance from their shop if you can't find parking.“
“Ray is a top rate artist and a really good guy, and is highly skilled in design, line work and exceptional at shading. I went to see Ray after a middling experience from a well-known DC artist for a full sleeve. Ray was able to completely transform my half-done sleeve to a true work of art that is seamless in flow. Prior, it was not well connected, line work was uneven and collapsing in some area and the shading was not cohesive.
Ray pulled it together completely and I absolutely love what he did. I recommend him completely and without hesitation. And for those that think you’ve got to go DC for a top end tattoo you don’t. Hit Ray up. He is the best in the DMV.“
“It was my first time getting tattooed at this shop and it was an overall great experience. The environment is professional and fun to be around. I got tattooed by Maria and she did an amazing job, not just with the tattoo itself but with her communication skills and attentiveness. I would definitely come back!“
“Pop’s tattoo is such an amazing professional tattoo parlour. As soon as you walk in you can tell how clean it is. They do a wonderful job of making you feel completely comfortable. I got my cartilage pierced twice and the procedure went very smoothly. My piercing didn’t get infected once nor did it swell. They prioritize precision and cleanliness and it is obvious how much they care about each customer’s comfort and about getting the job done right. I would highly recommend Pops Tattoo for anyone looking to get a piercing or a tattoo.“
“Cleanliness: The shop is beautiful and welcoming, and they follow strict cleanliness and sanitary procedures.“
“Professional, efficient, clean (in more ways than one: also clean work!), tidy, and friendly! Definitely one of the better tattoo studios around.“
“i have been wanting to go in here to get some in && it took me so long because i thought it was appt only. but in fact, they do do walk-ins. when i walked in the vibe was lit with the music && all the people tattooing && getting prepped to be sitting in the chair i had an appointment w vanessa who was already looking at fonts && things for what i had requested. luckily since this not my first rodeo i also had it all together. quick, painless, && a good time. look forward to getting more ink here!“

“I made an appointment at Big City Body Art with Maddie and got my nostril double pierced. It was a seamless process. She walked me through everything, she made sure I was comfortable while piercing, and that I understood the aftercare and healing process. She was super friendly and professional and I would definitely go back to her if I want to get anymore holes. The place was set up beautifully and it was immaculately clean and straight, prices were pretty typical of the area and all of the staff was great.
I drove a hour to them, so if you’re looking for a reputable studio that does piercing, it’s worth the drive!
Thank you, Maddie!“
“In my handful of experiences with walk-in tattoos I’ve never felt as welcome or comfortable as I did at Jinx Proof! The team there works well together and did everything they could to accommodate a busy day of walk-ins. My friend and I walked in with several ideas apiece and were met with patience and not rushed in the least. This has not been my experience in the past, and I’m so grateful that Tad was available. Not only are our tattoos beautiful, but Tad left such a good impression on us I wouldn’t hesitate to book a tattoo with him!
They also have a nice selection of quality jewelry and my friend was able to get a tragus piercing from Andrea, which turned out perfectly as well!
Cleanliness: The shop is well maintained without feeling impersonal.“
“Susan did my hand and my thigh tattoo and I’ll definitely be getting more work from her in the future. She has great technique and is not heavy handed, some of the most comfortable sessions I’ve had and I’m nearly covered in tattoos. She has a great artistic mind and is lovely to chat with, or not if you don’t feel like talking.
The shop is impeccably clean and incredibly professional. Highly highly recommend.“
“I’m from out of town and had to find a replacement tongue piercing (cause I ate mine by accident hush) and this was the only place close enough for me to get one. It’s a lil hard to find tbh but we walked into Michael while he was walking out and running late for something but he took the time out of his day to help me and put in a piercing for me even tho he was busy. I didn’t make an appointment or anything and I was so extremely grateful for this man!! I would def make an appointment out of respect but he is AMAZING and if I lived here I would definitely go here for anything I needed!!“
“It was my first time coming to this shop. The location is so nice and the vibe of the shop is top tier. The interior decor, music, good service, and talented resident artists/ guest artists make this shop really stand out. Will be returning for more tattoos in the future. Services“
“Eli & Paula is the best in the DMV - Orig I was looking for a good place to get some work done in the DMV being from NYC ! After finding this shop I am relieved I can come get my sleeve !“
“I got a few pieces done by Drew in July. Excellent work! Drew was patient, communicative, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The shop has a great atmosphere with friendly staff. It's a smaller open place, so the no phone call/loud voice policy makes sense. Highly recommend!“
“Reds is the best tattoo artist in the DMV area and he is an amazing person. 3 generations in and still going.I just left his shop in NorthwestHe designed both of my tattoos and they are awesome as usual.7329 Georgia Ave Suite 2 Washington DC 20012Go and get a tattoo from him and you will be happy you did“
“Me & my friends came in yesterday for nostril piercings. We were so lucky to have had Leo as our piercer! He was so calm and made us feel reassured when we were getting nervous. He walked us step by step through the entire process & made the experience super great. I wasn't able to catch the girl at the front desks name, but she was also extremely welcoming and answered all the questions we had. Overall, the experience was perfect. Definitely recommend checking them out!“
“Got my upper lobe piercings done here with Dennis originally. For my first appointment I found that the symmetry of the piercings between my two ears was a little off and contacted the artist to see if we could remedy the situation. They responded quickly and offered to fix the situation after some healing time.
Paola was both super patient in helping arrange this follow up appointment and was a fabulous piercer, making sure the second piercing lined up and that I was happy with it as well as talking me through the process. Can't recommend her enough!“
“I had a REALLY good experience with Imani and Eve! Imani is a seasoned tattoo artist and her specialty in tattoos with melanated skin was a deciding factor for me also. It was my first tattoo and the process to identify what you need is thorough and well thought out. Imani has really good energy and is easy to vibe with. I would definitely go back for another tattoo.“
“Got two lobe piercings here. Pixie was very helpful and answered all of my questions about safety and caring for my piercings. Love the piercings and great vibes, check em out and support a local business!“
“The service is great the tattoo artist make me comfortable and makes me feel at home and great line work every time I go I get exactly what I imagined it would look like“
“Of course I loved how they did my tongue piercing as well as well equip & sanitize well respectful people I love the vibe. Absolutely I will go back for Tattoo or any other piercings and bring a lot of people too
Cleanliness: The shop was well clean and smell so damn good. Absolutely loved it there and the vibez was humble like island vibes“
