“Alex is the best! She is so professional and clearly loves her job. She pierced my (quite nervous) 10-year,-old daughter's ears and Alex could not have been more amazing. She explained every step and made my daughter feel so at ease. If anyone is wondering whether professional piercing is worth it for ear pieecing, please allow me to say it absolutely is. Thanks, Alex!“

“From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. The studio is clean, and the atmosphere is both professional and relaxed.

The owner, Gordon, always takes the time to understand exactly what I want and offers helpful suggestions to enhance the design. The attention to detail and the quality of gordons work is outstanding.

I highly recommend Body FX to anyone looking for a top-notch tattoo studio. Their skilled artists, clean environment, and excellent customer service make it the best place to get inked.“

“Fantastic experience! Had a piece done on my upper arm by Kinsey and I love it. The process was super easy from initially contacting her to final ink on skin. The studio itself is superb. Clean, comfortable, and super cool. Kinsey was a delight to work with. Super easy to talk to. I brought a bag full of stuff to pass the time and didn't use any of it. We ended up just talking for the whole 6-hour session. Overall, a perfect experience and if/when I have more work done, it will definitely be here.“

“Top notch service and quality tattoos from John. His attention to detail is incredible. He is also personable and creates a vibe that is welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I can't really put into words how comfortable this place and the artists here made me feel. From helping me find the place once I arrived, to offering free snacks and water, to asking about the preferred order of my pronouns, and just the way talking to my artist and eventually everyone else came so easily . . . My tattoo hasn't even healed yet and I'm already thinking about the next one I want to request. Thank you Laura and thank you everyone else for a really comfortable experience and my awesome Coraline tattoo!!

Requested style: I got black and gray lineart with minimal shading. Laura asked questions along the way to double check I'd be okay with what she was doing, because I'm pretty much a "if you think it will look cool, I'm probably for it" kind of person. Her suggestions turned out great and I can't wait to show off my tattoo when it's fully healed.“

“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've been going to Naked Art for years now and absolutely adore all of the artist there. I've had tattoos by Eddie, Maddie and Ronie. Each time I go in for my tattoo, it's a very welcoming and warm environment. Clean place and decently priced. Just as a heads up, they do not have a piercer.

Cleanliness: The shop is very clean. New needles are used everytime.“

“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.“

“What a wonderful experience. Every so often a place of business will raise the bar for the industry. After being tattooed the past 8 years in a variety of high-end shops in DC and Northern VA, I was blown away by the place. This has to be the most state of the art and clean studios I have ever seen. It is located off a main highway, in a nice quiet industrial park with a nice forrest view. There is ample free parking. The inside of Painful Pleasures looks brand new and is very, very well kept. Hell, even the bathroom has automatic sink and soap dispenser, the floor is immaculate. Every little detail is taken care of. The individual rooms they use for tattooing have private TVs and radio options. The tattoo chair is ergonomic and very comfortable. My artist had the cleanliness and professionalism that could make most ERs look silly. There is also a feature to turn the clear glass walls opaque for tattoos in places that not everybody gets to see. All of the supplies are top notch and they don't skimp. My artist even cleaned the chair in front of me with bleach based cleaner before getting started (despite the fact it was already clean). He also opened all needles in front of me and changed gloves repeatedly to avoid any cross contamination. I was hesitant to post because I am selfishly hoping to allow this studio to be the best kept secret in the DMV area, but when a business and an artist put this much effort into customer experience and work, recognition is mandatory.“

“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?“

“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“

“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!“

“Went here to get some back work done, it went nice, smooth and fast! the work was flawless.

The pricing and cleanliness was even better. 10/10 would recommend“

“This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. My tattoo artist was very knowledgeable, professional and accommodating to me as this was my very first tattoo. I would recommend T.K. Beauty Loft,LLC for all your tattoo needs. Thank you so much. See you soon for other services.“

“I got two tattoos done by @bodymoreinked. He did a fantastic job and he’s truly an expert and perfectionist at what he does. The tattoos turned out better than the reference photos I showed him. He even helped me out with placement of the tattoo because I wasn't sure exactly where I wanted my butterflies on my hand but he made it all come together perfect. The shops aesthetic and interior design is super modern and lovely and just added to my overall top-notch experience“

“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!“

“Tom does excellent work. I am very happy with my results. I sent my mother there and she is also very pleased. Can’t wait for my next one“

“7+ years painful pleasures has been my go to supply company for all my piercing
Needs ALSO TATTOO SUPPLIES!/general tattoo shop supplies. One stop shop kind of company“

“I had my ears re-pierced by Corina and it was a fantastic experience. I had taken my earrings out during the early days of the pandemic but wanted to reopen the holes for my wedding and I explained this to Corina and she was a fantastic resource and worked with me to clear out the holes i had and reopen them.
The price is a bit steep but honestly you are paying for sanitation, customer service, the hand made jewelry and the one to one consultation and work. I would recommend her to anyone looking to be pierced. It was a very lovely experience!“

“I went to Razer's Edge Tattoo and Piercing looking to have my nostril pierced. I spent a decent amount of time searching for a reliable place to get my nose pierced for fear of having it done wrong, complications afterwards, etc. Razer's had good reviews on google and it was somewhat close so Razer's I went. I pull up and it's good vibes already. Razer is outside before I enter and asks me what I'm there for. I let him know and he asks me to wait inside and lets me know he'll be there soon with some paperwork to fill out. After he comes inside we end up chatting and have great conversation about psychedelics and such, it made me more relaxed getting to know Razer a little more. He's a cool guy! I fill out the paperwork and Razer then informs me about the procedure and after care instructions. It made me feel more secure knowing someone knowledgeable was doing my piercing. The piercing is done almost painlessly !!!! I was so surprised because I expected it to hurt more. His apprentice was mad chill too. A week after and my piercing is almost painless, doesn't even hurt when I twirl it around. No typa bumps or nothin. Idk what kinda magic he worked but I most definitely recommend Razer's Edge!!!“

“These ladies are the best! I really like all of them. I think it's cool that the shop is run by all women. Their flash events monthly are unique in that I haven't seen other shops do regular flash events like this. I recommend this place to others and have gotten my boss and coworker going there, too. These are the tattoos I have gotten there so far. I plan to do more in the future. Go to Tattoo Guru! You won't be disappointed!“

“Great place! Got my cartilage peirced today and it was really quick, very professional and very nice! Def will recommend this place to anyone! 10 out of 10“

“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!“

“The service is great and the artwork and tattoos are being words!!!! I know I’ve gotten almost 100 tats since I started going to them years ago!! @christpher_ink an @tattosbyteon are the goats ? of tats!!! ? ?????“

“I've got nothing but wonderful things to say about Robin and her work. She is very kind and did wonderfully on the dagger and flowers I picked out.“
