For what it's worth, I have NOT yet had a tat done here. Â However, LoML stopped in for a consultation about covering up a bad tat, and I started looking around, impressed by the artwork that I saw available. Â The shop rep was very friendly and knowledgable and talked to both of us about our individual options - LoML's potential cover job and a new tat for me. Â I had inquired about my being a diabetic (since I know that some shops won't do work on diabetics due to the liability) and they'd said it was no problem if I were able to obtain clearance from my doctor. Â This is great, since I had previously given up all hope of getting a tat - now it's possible.
I looked through the books and was mightily impressed with some of the pieces. Â The staff was very courteous and reassuring to what amounts to a first-time scared newbie. Â :)
If (or rather, when) I decide to go ahead and get tatted, it's most likely going to be here.
I had to go here after another place messed up a nose piercing. I fell in love instantly. Since that first visit, I have had three more piercings and one tattoo, with two more tattoos and one more piercing scheduled.
I just cannot recommend them enough.
Everyone is very knowledgeable, and will take time to answer your questions and concerns. There is a female piercer on staff for those intimate piercings (yes, I have had that done, yes, it hurt for second, but it healed quickly and is awesome).
Their tattoo artists range from good to great, and they will let you know up front who is best for the design you have picked out. They will also be very clear about how your tattoo will look over time, which I think is awesome. It would be so easy to take my money give me exactly what I want and not tell me that my cute little spirals are going to look like crap in a couple of years. But they don't. They understand better than anyone that this is a permanent part of who you are and they want you to look as happy with it on day one as on year ten.
Great place, definitely check them out.
I got my 1st tat here. They were great.. The price was about what I expected so it was right on the money.. The work was 1st class all the way. Everything was explained.. Just waiting to make up my mind on what my next tat looks like.. almost there .. I will be going back here for sure.
Review Source:I had an amazing experience at Saints and Sinners! The staff was welcoming, professional, and casual all in one. I felt so comfortable. My tattoo artist, Sean, was absolutely amazing. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted and he worked with me to get a design together. I absolutely LOVE the piece.
The staff here takes cleanliness and safe tattooing practices seriously, so no worries there.
This was by far the best tattoo experience I've ever had, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go back for another!
My friend and I were in Baltimore for Memorial Day weekend and decided to get something done.
We picked this place because of all the awesome reviews it got on here. She decided to get a tattoo and I decided I was going to get my nipple pierced. Spontaneity! Woo!
Anyways, the guys working here are suuuper cool. We didn't really have to wait, they helped us right away.
She got a really good price for her tattoo and my nipple piercing was no more than 80 bucks including tip! Clean, sterile environment and not to mention they were playing some kick ass music the entire time. They also gave me the aftercare for my piercing for FREE, which no other place has given me and I have 2 other piercings.
If you go somewhere else to get work done, you're stupid.
I've had a small tattoo and tongue piercing done here and I'm happy with both!
The best part is the piercer Jess who works by appointment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to get pierced - she's seriously awesome. Took the time to answer my questions, understood I was a bit nervous and honestly, it was painless (as crazy as that may sound).
One tattoo artist there was reluctant to do a small tat for me because he didn't want his work to be poorly reflected in later years when he thought the lettering would change, and while I respected his decision, I chose someone else (from the same shop) who understood that it was my choice, my body and said he could do what I wanted...AND he did a great job!! Â I still love the tattoo I got there years later and happy I stuck to what I wanted and the location (I have to hide my tattoo and piercing at work). I would go back for another. Â
I recommend this shop for cleanliness, friendly people and great tattoos!!
i'm on my 3rd and largest tattoo and had been shopping around a bit. Â when i walked in, i instantly fell into a sleu of jest and banter with the front desk guy with lovely scalp ink. Â i'm the kind of person that needs to go on positive vibes to pick a tattoo place, so once i spoke with the actual ink guy, matt that was it. Â these dudes rock already!
he was super helpful, knew exactly what he was talking about, had great designs (took time to help me out with my own too), and was really nice too. Â great rapore and conversation, he honestly put my mind at ease while sitting there for 2 1/2 hours of utter pain. Â i'll recommend him and the shop any time.
thanks guys!
Good, clean shop with quality artists. Â Jim is a nice guy, very down to earth, and does great work. Â Hunter Spanks used to work here, and did a lot of my work. Â (I think he works at HFBL in Hampden now). Â They also carry artwork and clothing, all reasonably priced.
I've gotten a decent amount of work done here. Â Never had a problem. Â If you notice, a lot of the negative Yelp reviews are from people who didn't know what they wanted, didn't do any research, and don't have any clue what they're talking about. Â Listen to advice about tattoo shops from people with tattoos...not from sorority girls with a dime-sized unicorn on their ankle that they decided to get while drunkenly wandering around Fells Point.
Went to get the other side of my nose pierced on a Thursday afternoon...was seriously in and out in less than 10 minutes. The dudes were friendly enough and gave me what I wanted at a reasonable price. And it didn't get infected at all (unlike the other side of my nose, which I got done somewhere else).
The inside of the place is nice and clean looking and they have tattoo-style graphic tees and clothes you can buy. Never gotten a tat here before, but they're cool in my book.
After 15 yrs of dealing with the peeing crooked experience of a Prince Albert, I finally decided to pull the trigger and get it changed to an  apadravya. After running into Jim (who initially did the PA) at a party, he told me of his new location, and recommended his piercer Jess.  Nervous as hell on my big day, she had me completely relaxed with her professionalism.  The piercing went down with almost no pain.  Damn why did I wait 15 yrs.  Any of you guys out there considering a PA, just skip right for the  apadravya and bypass all the crooked pissing.
I intend to get some work from Jim as well once I get an idea and some cash together. Â Great shop
B-Good
***New*** I wanted to update my review after I got an e-mail from the shop owner. I really appreciated that he followed up with my review, I think it showed he cares about his shop and his customers and I'm now considering going back to have my numbers fixed next time I'm in the area. The tattoo artist that did my tattoo is no longer at S&S and I hold to my previous review that she did not do a good job nor listen to what I actually wanted, but after getting the e-mail from Jim, I would go back and give their shop and another artist another chance. Because I don't doubt that he has talented tattoo artists working for him. To further my review of the shop. It was a very clean shop and girl at the front desk was very nice to me.
My Old Review...
Got my first tattoo here and absolutely regret it. Not only did the artist not listen to what I wanted the tattoo is is horrible. What part of Grayscale does someone not understand. I got a green tattoo instead. When I commented, she said its only a few highlight and it was only slight. HA, that was a joke. Its ALL green. Good thing its my fav color. The tattoo is very flat and bland no depth at all which is what I stressed I wanted. Also I got a 2 digit number and the numbers are not even. So now I have to shell out more money just to make it look respectable. I've seen better jail house work. If you want a good tattoo go somewhere else.
I got my first tattoo at Saints & SInners one month ago. Â It was a mixed experience. Â First of all, the front desk girl was not friendly when I went to make an appointment, which was not until the next day. Â On the day of the tattoo (Matt was my artist), I was quoted a price comparable to those in several cities, so that was reassuring. Â During the first few minutes of tattooing, Matt kept on saying "oops" which I thought was unprofessional. Â He then discovered a broken spring on his needle, which was changed. Â The rest of the process is quite uneventful. Â One month later, there are a few areas of "blow out" on my tattoo which makes the design look not as sharp. Â This is a rookie mistake, according to the internet, and while I don't regret getting a tattoo, I seriously wouldnt' recommend this place to others. Â In retrospect, I probably would have gone somewhere else.
Review Source:My first visit to Baltimore (on my birthday weekend) included staying with my closest friends, partying it up a club, wandering around the waterfront, going to a museum AND most importantly heading over to Saints and Sinners.
I can't say that I have any prior experience getting a tattoo since my visit to Saints and Sinners was to give myself a birthday gift of my first tattoo. However, my friend who escorted me there had gotten her first tattoo there about a year earlier (one she designed herself and got on her back on her far left.) with her friend who has gone there several times, so I had two recommendations for their quality of service.
They were very friendly, joking around and making me feel less nervous as I filled out forms, had my design reworked and waited for an artist to get ready. I got a small tattoo of the Ancient Greek noun that my name comes from on the back of my neck, right where my hairline is. It was about 3 in. long and 1 in. high, small but with a price tag of $100 which didn't seem unreasonable to me. It only took like 20-30 minutes (small enough that I could get away without an appointment)!
The guys were really nice and professional, and their space was very tidy and clean and they explained their health procedures with the needles and ink, and also gave me a detailed aftercare guide for while my tattoo healed. It was a really great experience, and if I ever decide to get another tattoo I might just go back there!
