Tattoo Gallery

Went in for a simple nose piercing. Place looked bright, and clean. Had to wait a few minutes for the piercer Chris who returned promptly from his dinner break. He seemed a bit hyper but overall he was really nice. He is really fast at what he does which in my opinion you want the pain to be over and done with quickly, which it was. So thanks Chris for my cutie nose piercing.

We had a great experience with Sergio. He actually both sold us the tattoo. He helped us pick the right design and perfect what we were thinking. The design we went with wasn’t easy and had a lot of color and detail. This was my wife’s first tattoo and Sergio did a great job helping her understand what to expect and preparing her for her first tattoo as she was a bit nervous.
Sergio is an amazing artist and did a great job. We still have one more sitting to go for just to finish up some color but the tattoo looks amazing and is healing perfectly which means he did a good job on her skin.
I would strongly recommend Sergio at Tattoo Gallery. When you get a tattoo you care about the cleanliness of the shop and the artist. In addition to this you of course care about the artist’s quality. We found both. While there there was another artist there named Chris whose work we observed. He also seemed to be good and to care about his work.

I walked in to ask a question about a previous tattoo I had gotten and the lady couldn’t have been more helpful! I wasn’t even a client and she took the time to clean my tattoo and give me some pointers!

I came to this shop for my first-​ever tattoo with my 5 friends. They are SO nice and helpful. Joshua did my tattoo and he was incredibly friendly! My friends and I highly recommend this place.

For the record… you should wait a least two weeks before redoing a tattoo, because it is at higher risk to get infected when tattooing over broken skin. This shop is clean, in fact, I saw this place to be very trustworthy which is why I had no problem with my teenage daughter getting her first tattoo here, in which she had no problems in terms of healing.

Went on vacation for 4^th of July. And spot this tattoo shop, it looks legit but i got a tattoo and its infected. I would not recommend this place at all! Me and my friend got a tattoo the same day and now we are dealing with the same symptoms (raised, bumpy, itching, etc) i went to the doctor and got 3 medicines prescribed. All of my tattoos are done at a legitimate place and never had a bad experience with anything except for this one. It was my fault for not doing enough research. I advise you to do your research. I also read that other peoples tattoo got infected from this same tattoo shop. This only means they hired some artist that don’t know what their doing!

On vaction in January 2010′ I got a small tattoo of my zodiac on my calf. It was fine and everything was good and it was a good experience. April 2013 I went back and got some more stars and addtions to the sign to make it a complete tattoo. Again I had a good experience and no issues. Until about a week later some of the tat was still bloody and pussing. I continued to care for it but parts of it just was not healing correctly. Two weeks later on the day I had to go to Patient Care Center to see a doctor as it was obviously infected and I could no longer treat on my own. I got some antibotics and we will see if this can clear up. I had to start peeling the dead scabs off so it can breathe. This is jacked.!! Vacation tat’s in FL are about $ 100 more an hour than Maryland so getting them you do not want to waste your $$ but in my case that’s what it’s going to be.
So just be careful when your in the shop and make sure you keep a close eye on the artist to make sure they keep your needle clean and are not touching anything Etc. Etc!!! I know you can get infections from other sources but it starts at the time of the tattoo. Never had this experience before with any other tattoos.

A+++. Great experience. Very clean and everyone is so nice. Artist did amazing work. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Will definitely use again.

So, yeah. I swore I wouldn’t be getting anymore tattoos…
BUT, to make a long story short, my best friend (who lives 1000+ miles away) and I, decided to be really stupid and mushy and get matching stars on our wrists… so that we could always look at the same star even though we were so far away (can somebody get Fifel from An American Tale in here please???)
We walked into this place, while on vacation together. It looked legit. Other people were getting tattooed and theirs looked nice. One little star on the wrist… can’t mess that up, right? HMMMM.
We both got them done and they just didn’t look right. We thought it might be because of the area and the swelling, but by the next morning, we knew they were just totally fucked up. We returned to the shop the to get them fixed, and another artist was very apologetic and fixed them for us (NOTE: Getting tattooed over a fresh tattoo is probably one of the most painful things you can get done. My friend said it was worse than childbirth — she has 2 kids). They looked 100 times better, but I immediately had a bad feeling mine was going to get infected. Now, I have been tattooed 11 times, and my others are about 50 times the size of this one. Not once have I even gotten irritation, but this one hurt immediately.
Here I am, 6 days later… swollen, in pain and on antibiotics, because this crap is infected. Not ok.
The 2^nd time we were in there, I noticed things that I ignored for some reason the first time. The place just wasn’t as clean as it could be upon closer inspection, though it has a nice façade. Supplies are disorganized… things were just not 100%.
I just pray I don’t get necrotic fasciitis from this infection. I don’t recommend this place at all.
UPDATE: 3 weeks of healing and 14 days worth of SERIOUS antibiotics later (side-​effects of those not pretty), my tattoo is not infected anymore. I lost most of the ink, which means I’ll need to have it touched up in the next several months, once it’s totally healed. Let’s hope it does better next time around!
