Tattoo Paradise

Dropping a review to day that this is your place. Don’t look any further. The shop manager is incredibly helpful and organized, the artists are super friendly and immensely talented. A big shoutout to Bobby Sunshine on the work he has done for me. I happily sit in a couple hours of traffic from Virginia to come here because I know I will get the best work done.

I came in pretty nervous to get a nose piercing but Rachel was amazing and quick! It barely hurt and the process was super smooth. She’s a very kind and fun person and is truly great at her job

I love my tattoos dont get me wrong but their healing/aftercare process hasnt worked for me or maybe its the quality. Not even a year old and both the tattoos i have from them are fading in certain parts. And i have multiple tattoos from other places and never had this issue. Probably gonna have to find a new studio

Great, clean place. Love the vibe. Very professional and knowledgeable. Safety and respect were highly valued.Appointment didnt start on time but I wont knock a star because of that. It adds to the vibe I guess. Chill atmosphere.Thanks for the piercing Ray! Its healing well.

I’ve recently came here twice and got two piercing done and I’ve had great experience for both. Both the piercer and the person at front desk were very friendly. Piercers is very skilled and highly recommended other to get there piercing here!

Me and a group of my friends decided we all wanted to get matching tattoos, while i was visiting Maryland from Tennessee. There was a total of 5 of us, we walked in as soon as they opened and the staff was all super friendly & we were accommodated immediately. Spencer Scott did my tattoo, it only took a few minutes. I am super pleased how it came out, He did great line work. The price was a little steep compared to other tattoo shops I’ve been to, but I would definitely return for another tatt. 😊

Rachel is truly professional. Her service was above and beyond, will be back for my next piercing.

I’ve actually gotten two great tattoos here. One from Cody Abell and it’s great! I’m a paralyzed veteran and came in for a third tattoo. The stupid Australian with eye lid tattoos told me I had to leave because of my service dog. Unfortunately I did not see anyone I recognized who are always great to me and my dog. Instead his Australian friend told me to also leave the shop because of my trained service dog. Lost my business.

I went in here to look for a new shop for art. After discussing my idea the kind lady paired me up with Jeff P. Jeff and I started to discuss ideas as I showed him the original image.I told him I wanted to to look similar, but different. He made it completely different and I dug it at first and went for it. Once I saw it on my leg it looked almost different then the sketch. It looked amazing!!! Jeff really took time to do amazing detail. I really cant wait to go back and get another!The shop was clean, inviting and everyone was friendly and professional. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place.

I have gotten all of my tattoos done here. They are incredibly talented and professional. They produce amazing art while being efficient with your time! In addition, their piercer Rachel is wonderful and you will love your new piercing. I love this shop so much, I am a life long supporter and wouldnt go anywhere else.

Prices are a little high, but I’m extremely happy with my tattoo. Bobby was absolutely lovely, and I would definitely go back to him for another tattoo.

Overall it was a really solid experience. We called to get some information and was informed appointment only for piercings. When we got there it was only about 10 minute wait. The lady doing the piercings was great! She talked me and my partner through the whole process and seemed very knowledgeable on her progression. We talk all her suggestions and haven’t had any issue.

I got my first tattoo here and was impressed by the professionalism and attitude of the artists. Prior to coming here I experienced multiple cancellations from other local places so I walked in here on a Saturday evening. The place was hygienic and clean. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and Chase took his time designing and perfecting it. I am so happy with his work and expertise. The pain was quite minimal and he explained the precautions and care to be taken after the tattoo.

The staff at Tattoo paradise made the process extremely easy! My artist Luke did an incredible job and would highly recommend

Had an awesome experience here! I came in as a walk in for a nose piercing and they were able to fit me in within an hour. The staff was beyond amazing and helpful and some of the nicest people I’ve met. They let me take my time picking out my piercing, deciding on the placement, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. I was a big baby and nervous wreck but my piercer Rachel was incredibly helpful in getting me to chill out and feel comfortable and pierced my nose flawlessly. I definitely recommend going here and will be going back for any more piercings I want in the future!

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at Tattoo Paradise, which has left me with no choice but to write this one-star review. The entire ordeal was riddled with incompetence, negligence, and a complete lack of professionalism.First and foremost, the piercer failed to provide me with proper aftercare instructions for my belly button piercing. I bought the stores saline solution but to my dismay it did not heal the piercing. As a result, I noticed that the skin around the piercing was drying out and changing color, indicating the early stages of a keloid formation. Concerned about this, I visited the shop to seek a checkup.To my utter dismay, I found a guy at the front desk who showed little interest to my request to see the piercer. Despite there being no other patrons waiting, he made absolutely no effort to assist me or address my concerns. This blatant disregard for my well-being was disheartening and unprofessional.After a 30-minute wait, a lady finally emerged from the back. However, her demeanor and attitude were far from helpful. She casually glanced at my piercing, barely showing any interest or concern. Her dismissive response of youre fine, dude was not only unhelpful but also incredibly insensitive given my distress. It was evident that she lacked the knowledge and expertise to properly address my situation.Adding to the disappointment, the overall attitude of the staff was apathetic and unwelcoming. When my friend and I initially walked into the shop, we received minimal acknowledgment and were made to feel as if we were an inconvenience. The environment itself felt hostile, which further contributed to our discomfort.In conclusion, my experience at Tattoo Paradise was nothing short of a nightmare. From the piercers failure to provide proper aftercare instructions to the lack of interest and dismissive attitude displayed by the staff, this establishment has proven itself to be unprofessional, negligent, and hostile. I strongly advise anyone considering getting a tattoo or piercing to steer clear of Tattoo Paradise and seek a more reputable and customer-oriented establishment.

I have nothing but positives to say about Tattoo Paradise! Dixon was incredibly patient in setting things up for me and Dan is a great tattooist! Im very happy with my results and plan to come back again!

Walked in, knew the place by reputation, the piercer, Rachel, managed to squeeze me in last second during a fully booked day. To say she was professional and charismatic would be a disservice to how amazing she was. I was very welcomed and was walked through every step of the process. This was my first piercing experience and it honestly could not have gone better. Highest recommendation.

Went by here to get my jewelry changed and purchased two new pieces I am now obsessed with. They have a not very large but excellent collection of jewelry with a big range of price points (starts at $60 and goes upwards of $1000). Something here for everyone for sure.Being indecisive, I took my time deciding but *very* happy with my choices (both second lobe earrings -- a monstera loop and a hoop with danglers).All the time spent here also made me wonder if I wanted a tattoo. Perhaps on a future visit.

I went for my first ever piercing on July 13th. Ray was amazing, super friendly calming my initial nerves with great conversation. Additionally provided excellent tips on aftercare. Set up was squeaky clean. I’d recommend Tattoo Paradise in Rockville for any piercing needs!

This is my 3rd time getting pierced in my life but my first time having such an amazing experience! From start to finish it was awesome. Professional and courteous from setting the appointment, to choosing my jewelry and the piercing experience was phenomenal. Rachel Ray was great about explaining the process and making sure we were comfortable with placement. I was so beyond happy with the entire experience that I wanted to hug her at the end lol. Ive decided I need 2 more. My mom also got pierced and had some anxiety before hand. She was put at ease with the process once Ray got started she couldnt believe it when it was over. Im going back for a tattoo next. I got to observe the tattoo artists while we waited and they were so professional and their clients all left happy and smiling.

AWESOME service!!!! Spencer is great. Front desk has great customer service, and I dont know how on Gods green Earth they maintained so much grace, diplomacy, dignity and class today when dealing with the most loudest, rudest, obnoxious, nickel and diming customer as I was leaving the shop. Great environment, great music, very genuinely kind and highly artistic staff.

Im surprised this is still a tattoo shop. I got my tongue pierced here 26yrs ago when Jeff and Richard were the artists. All this time later I still have it and never once had any issues with it. I still tell people not only was it nearly painless, I was in and out in like ten minutes

I searched so many places to get my nostril pierced and the lots of good reviews (and referrals) to Rachel encouraged me to go here. they were really nice since the moment i first contacted them on instagram. at the shop, their approach of talking and making jokes is great and even makes you forget you’re actually nervous. very clean and professional. i’ll definitely go back for the next one!

I’ve never had any problem going to this shop, i recommended to a friend but she didn’t like it because she felt like the guy up front was rude, although i was unsure how. Rachel is great, good piecer and awesome at communicating. im underage so unfortunately i can’t get certain things, such as a tattoo, which is understandable. My mother called to scheduled an appointment for me to get a surface targus, the guy she was on the phone with said he was gonna get back to her, but never called her back, although it was a bit disappointing, we might’ve thought the shop was busy so it wasn’t a big deal. we decided to call back the next day and the same guy scheduled an appointment for us, and my mother had made a deposit and everything. then the day of the appointment the same guy calls back and canceled the appointment, we were told by the same guy that Rachel doesn’t do surface piercings. which was a bit confusing :( .Rachel pierced my eyebrow, and i thought that an eyebrow piercing was a surface piercing , so me and my mom were quité confused.

I had a great experience with Rachel. I wanted 5 pieces of jewelry changed out and I purchased 4 from the shop (I brought in a piece for my nose ring). I had an appointment and I showed up on time. There were a couple people who came in at the same time as me (not sure of their appointment) and I did have to wait about 45 minutes, but honestly I was impressed at how well Rachel did at juggling all the people and trying to make everyone happy. I was in no hurry so the wait was no biggie. I left with 4 really pretty pieces of jewelry and Rachel helped me to make sure the whole look was cohesive and looked pretty together. I appreciated her professionalism, her ability to work well under the pressure of 5 guests all at the same time, and her ability to visualize the final look. She gave me solid recommendations and while their selection of jewelry is small, they were all pretty pieces. She was fun to chat with and did a nice job of adhering to Covid precautions. The shop is pricey but they charge what they think they are worth and thats OK with me. I am new to the area (from Cali) and Im really happy I found a piercing studio to call my own since I frequently change out jewelry. Thanks Rachel!!!

Definitely recommend this place if youre nervous about getting pierced love my new nostril piercing lol now want another one

Can I give Rachel a 100000 rating??? If you are looking for a piercing, especially nose... RACHEL is your girl!! The moment it was time for my appointment, she was friendly, so outgoing and easy to talk to. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, you dont even feel like you’re going to be pierced. My nerves went away and honestly it went by so quickly I didn’t even feel it. She really knows what shes doing, she explained the aftercare very thoroughly and made sure I was given her contact information if I needed anything. I will definitely, most definitely be going to Rachel only for my future piercings! She is AMAZING!! Thank you Rachel, I really enjoyed my appointment with you, I was a first timer at Tattoo Paradise and trust me, I will come to you always!!

Loved the piercer(Rachel). She was so nice and made my daughter feel super relaxed and comfortable. Daughters piercing (nose) healed great with no problems. As I told Rachel well definitely be back dont know for what exactly, lol, but well be back! First time going wont be the last 😁

I went for a piercing and had such a great experience! Rachel made me feel so comfortable and the experience enjoyable. She made me feel as if we had been friends for years and was very skilled at her work. She made sure I liked the placement of the piercing and explained very well about after care. She even does follow ups to make sure the healing process is going well AND gave her direct contact info incase I had any follow up questions! Ive never been offered that before! I loved my experience and would happily and confidently refer anyone to her. Easily 5 stars!!

Small but wonderful staff. Saw Rachel to get my daughters ears pierced.

I originally went in for a tongue web piercing. After Rachel took a look at it she informed that she wasn’t comfortable with piercing it and explained why. I appreciated her honesty, I would rather have heard the truth then paying for a piercing that wouldn’t work out for me. She checked again just to really be sure and ended up with the same feeling. She told me I had the perfect lip for “smiley piercing” so that is what I ended up getting. Rachel was super friendly from the start and explained everything to me from the piercing process to the jewelry sizes. She was joking around the whole time and just really puts you at ease. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I have NEVER had as amazing of a piercing experience as I did with her. I 120% recommend Rachel for any of your piercing needs. She really knows her stuff! (I also must mention that all the staff was very friendly and pleasant to be around)

Looked around a few places I knew of to get an eyebrow piercing, and called to make an appointment. I ended up having to wait about 25 minutes because Rachel (she does the piercings) was with someone and someone else was waiting to swap out some jewelry. Wasnt an issue for me since Im patient and she explained what was going on. Anyway! She did a great job with the placement and the whole poke didnt take long at all (Im actually glad she didnt use a clamp either). She made me feel super comfortable and it was really chill. Anything involving needles can bring anxiety but hearing how excited Rachel was about doing an eyebrow was pretty calming. She loves what she does and it shows! Will definitely look for her when I get another piercing.

I went there back in May 2018 to get my first tattoo. Nick is the one who did it and almost a year later, it still looks amazing. I decided to get a piercing and Rachel was so wonderful. She has a lot of energy and makes you feel so comfortable. They offer great tips for aftercare and even followups. Im most definitely planning on going back in the spring. The prices did not surprise me because this is not the kind of thing you would want to do for cheap. You dont just pay for a tattoo or a piercing but also for the service. Every time Ive gone there the staff was so kind and helpful. I 100% recommend this place.

08/16/22 VisitMy tattoo came out super cute (I just got a small lil crescent moon). They knew it was my first tattoo and made sure I was okay throughout. I don’t live in Maryland, I was just visiting, but I probably would go back. The only downside was that they charged me $160 for a tattoo the size of a quarter, it was an outline too. Other than that, it was great.

I got my nostril pierced by Rachel a couple months ago and she was very kind and informative through the whole process. Definitely makes you feel comfortable and at ease and answers any questions or concerns you may have (She even gives you her number incase theres some clarification you need on your piercings healing process and aftercare). The process went by quickly and Im very happy with my results, I highly recommend her!

Made an appointment for a check-in a month+ in advance, they called me an hour before to reschedule, citing the artist had car trouble. Rescheduled for a few days later and I asked to please waive the deposit for a piercing I wanted due to the last minute change. They agreed. Showed up and the artist wasn’t there - they told me they weren’t able to get in contact with her. Didn’t offer any type of apology. Lost my business.

They are fantastic!I went here to get my daith and conch piercings back in November, and Rachel was amazing. She explained everything I needed to know (including things I should probably already know!) clearly and was incredibly personable.Did I mention shes super understanding? The ball on my conch earring fell off yesterday and I couldnt find it (and was unable to get the post back in even if I had found it). I stopped in and Rachel took care of it quickly and easily. If youre looking for a piercing, look no further than Rachel!The whole establishment is clean and all staff are polite and courteous. Im in the market for a new tattoo, and you can bet thats once Ive got the money saved, Tattoo Paradise is the place Ill go!

Excellent service. They only let in a few people at a time. They took our temperature and everything was clean. We went to get my 17 year old daughters second ear piercing. Rachel was amazing, friendly and informative. She explained everything as she went along, putting us at ease and making it a really fun experience. Thank you!

Go to Rachael for piercings! My daughter got her nostril and an industrial piercing and the process was easy and comforting.Rachael explained the procedures, healing time, what to expect and how to contact her with any follow up questions/concerns BEFORE the piercings began.She was very knowledgeable and did not want to rush the process. It was highly recommended that my daughter keep her mask from weighing down on her ears and to keep her hair up during the healing process.Very friendly, funny and courteous. Im very happy with my overall experience and this is the FIRST nice Rachael I met :) overall shop was clean, not crowded and we were greeted upon arrival.Happy that we went to Rachel thanks a bunch;)))

Rachel the piercer is amazing! She makes the whole process very fun and comfortable. Shes very honest doesnt sugar coat anything but she always tells you whats gonna happen. She truly seems to care about your concerns about your piercings. Great prices and good jewelry selection. This will probably be my new go to piercing place!

I walked in ready to get a tattoo. It was a tall heavy built Caucasian guy whom I spoke with. I showed him the tattoo that I wanted and to add color. First off for a small tattoo he gave me this outrageous price of $300 plus, and than told me because the color of my skin ( African American ) color wouldn’t look right on me. I showed him that I had other tattoos with COLOR. He than said they were booked up for the next couple weeks. 🤔 The other employees were just sitting there no response. I will never go back there nor RECOMMEND.

I got my first tattoo here last week, from John Lupo. Super happy with the result. Everyone at this shop seemed nice, though John seriously has my gratitude for being so patient and professional even though I was insanely nervous at first. Definitely would come back.

Rachel is genuinely one of the best piercers in the DMV. Her knowledge, honesty and professionalism is refreshing and extremely comforting. And the gentleman in the front with the mullet (which looks nice btw) is always pleasant and kind. Thank you guys 💕

I had a wonderful tattoo done by John Lupo. I had to go to a new tattoo shop because the previous artist I usually go to moved. At first it felt odd for me to go to a new tattoo shop (or any new place for that matter to me). The shop was welcoming and clean. John was very patient despite my own awkward moments. I had given ideas before my appointment and his artwork that came from what I wanted worked perfectly together and took every detail, I love my new tattoo. The pricing was very reasonable to me and he was great to talk to. I would come back again.

I’ve gotten all my piercings here after having learned the dangers of guns. Their piercer, Rachel, is amazing. She takes the time to help soothe my nerves for every piercing she has given me. She’ll answer all my questions and not sit there going “are you done yet...?”. The shop itself is very clean, organized, and has good vibes. When it comes to the pricing, I feel you get what you pay for. This shop may be more expensive than going to the mall, but you won’t get anyone with as much knowledge and skill as here.Truly great place. Rachel is awesome, granted we do have the same name.

I got my nose re-pierced at this place. It was a great experience from start to finish. Rachel put me at ease right away and it was over in no time. She is awesome at what she does. I will go back one day for another tattoo or who knows maybe another piercing.

I took my 16 yo in for multiple cartilage piercings. The shop was clean, the staff wonderful, polite and professional. Rachael was amazing with my kiddo, providing guidance and insight to help her choose wisely. Top of the line all the way! Def going back and recommend them highly.

Came in for a quote for a tattoo with my friends. first impression, wasn’t very friendly or welcoming. prices were high for what we were asking for but i’m not one to knock what an artist wants to charge for their work so that’s not as important. what i’m really upset about is that he told us we couldn’t have food or drinks when my friend tried to take a sip of her water bottle… i am always encouraged to snack or at the very least have WATER during tattoos so i was SHOCKED that they told us we couldn’t have any! he was rude about it too, extremely disappointing service and treatment…

Nose piercing - Rachel is awesome. Process took a little longer than I expected, but it was flawless. She makes you feel super comfortable with placement and the process. Place was clean and people were friendly. Highly recommend :)

My daughter, my son and I came in to get our nose pierced. Rachael was awesome. She was professional, very informative and great touch of personable. We were very comfortable and confident in our decision and the care we were receiving. I highly recommend her.

I recently came in with my mom to get a rook piercing and Rachel was incredible!! She explained each step of the process and made me feel very comfortable. The place is sanitary as well. I would recommend coming here for any piercing with Rachel!

Rachel was fantastic during our appointment for a second lobe and helix pricing. Incredibly upbeat, kind, knowledgeable, and confident in her craft. Will definitely be back!

Everyone is super friendly, its a comfortable atmosphere, the prices are on par with what I had anticipated, and the artists are very skilled. I got a custom piece done on my left shoulder blade and rib cage. It is my first tattoo so I didnt really know what to expect, but Deirdre talked me through it all, and my tattoo is everything I wanted and more! She is very detail oriented and focused on creating high quality art. Her linework is amazing; I got a ton of compliments just on the outline! I cant recommend Deirdre highly enough. Shes absolutely awesome. I wont be going to anyone but her. :)

I got my tattoo today at 12:30 by Cody. Cody is very sweet and professional. we were supposed to meet last week but I had to reschedule due to me being sick (not COVID-19) and he was more than happy to wait so that my appointment could be a fun experience. I was a little nervous but he made me feel very comfortable and told me at any point if we wanted to take a short break- he was more than happy to. I got a cover up and I absolutely love how it turned out. I got a beautiful elephant on my forearm with red flowers on the side. it was a cover up for a previous small tattoo. i’m beyond happy and will be referring my friends to him. I will also be coming to him for future tattoos. I highly recommend him. his work is great and his attitude is even better. thank you!!!!

I got my nostril pierced by Rachel today. She was absolutely amazing. This was my second time going to Rachel. Sometime last year she helped me change my jewlery from a previous shop. She was very patient & informative. She had no issue moving the mark for my piercing about 5-6 times. & she also had no issue changing the jewlery when I decided it was too big for me. The piercing was quick & as least painful as possible. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Thinking about going back to get the other nostril pierced.

I got rachel to do my piercings and i love them and i love how much she cares for her customers, she’s so kind and someone you can rely on☺️

After searching out numerous tattoo parlors, we found Tattoo Paradise staff to be the most friendly that weve ever encountered. Some parlors have an atmosphere that can be a bit off, but not here.The moment we walked in we were greeting like we were friends that hadnt seen each other in awhile. They were very involved with our creativity in giving us the best advice on what art we wanted and who the best person would be for the job.The experience was so dope, Im planning to make this my Go To parlor for me and anyone who asks Hey, wheres a good place to get a tattoo?

I just got a daith piercing and Rachel did a wonderful job. She took her time explaining everything and made me feel very comfortable. The place is soooo clean and the artists here are so welcoming. I’d definitely come back for more piercings and would highly recommend to others.

Rachel!!!! What can I say, she’s an amazing piercer amazing personality makes things quick fun and easy. 100% honest and very helpful. Guarantees her work. She told me to come back in 2 months to my nose piercing

The tattoo stylist Rachel was great asked to give my 17 year old her 1st nose piercing. She was very patient, thorough, informative and knew what she was doing. As a parent it was very comforting to have her.

Recently visited the tattoo shop. It seems the shop likes phone calls and email more than showing up physically to schedule/discuss a tattoo. I attempted to discuss what I had in mind but the phone was constantly ringing and the employee/artist was always answering the phone. After I waited to talk to the artist the phone rang again and that seemed to have priority over me being there in person. I just felt my business wasnt as important considering I wanted multiple tattoos. I just got fed up and left. Go somewhere else if you like customer service that allow you to feel comfortable getting tattooed by them.

I came here to get my conch and daith done by rachel as she had previously done both my traguses and my nose piercing. She is so friendly and joyful which makes it so much easier to get over the fact your about to get a needle through your ear! Lol 10/10 reccomend. They guy at the front (cant rememeber name atm) was also very helpful explaining the jewlery options. He got me squeezed into an appointment last minute.

Trevor was great! :) Immediately had my stencil for me when I first walked in, and was detailed and quick with my tattoo. The rest of the staff was funny and had a great attitude as well. I’ll definitely be coming back for the rest of my tattoos :)

Staff was open to input and suggestions. Did what I wanted for my tattoo. Wasnt really what he wanted to do but the design I had was for my grandma who passed away. He did the design I wanted and it came out looking exactly as I imagined. Recommend checking them out if your looking for a traditional style tattoo. Thanks Spencer!

Had a wonderful experience from the time I walked in the door. The girl at the front helped me with everything and was so sweet and accommodating. Tom did my tattoo and I couldnt be happier!! I dont understand when people write way over priced. These people are amazing artists and your getting a great tattoo. SO WORTH IT!!! Thank you Tattoo Paradise for making my experience so wonderful.

Positive, relaxing experience from the first phone call to post-tattoo bandaging. The staff was very welcoming, the shop itself was very clean, and I really got the sense everyone who works there actually gets along. I knew before my session was over I would be back. Definitely recommendP.s. shout out to nick for a job very well done

Very professional and clean. We were able to get nose piercings for minors here. (Their mom was with them)

I’ve got two piercings from here (nostril and septum) in the last year, and I’ve also come back a few times for jewelry changes. The piercer Rachel is very friendly and helpful. They also have a great selection of jewelry!

As an owner of a business specifically in marketing to clients, I know a few things about customer service and business transactions.Tattoo Paradise is the #1 studio in the area when it comes to customer service, business transactions, and overall good vibes. My artist (Cody) has worked with me over the year on a number of different projects and has been excellent to work with. In general, all the staff at Tattoo Paradise are welcoming, friendly, and understanding. I plan on going back to them for any ideas that I have.

Went in to change my Jewelry and get two more piercings. Rachel went above and beyond in her care for me. She is dedicated to her craft and extremely honest and knowledge. Will definitely refer to her!

My 14 y.o. daughter went in for a nose piercing. The girls inside made her feel comfortable from the beginning. The wife was happy with the experience. All positive talk after I picked them up. Thanks to everyone at Tattoo Paradise. 👍🙂👍

Real art, real people. Everyone working here is an absolute treasure, thank you so much for being so welcoming!

Got my first tattoo by Deirdre and I absolutely love it. Gary, at the front desk, was super chill and funny as well as very open to feedback on my stencil. I was extremely nervous about getting the tattoo which Deirdre handled in stride. She talked me through the whole thing and was so sweet. People who think the place is “overpriced” obviously dont understand how talented all the artists are. As the sign in the shop says “Good tattoos arent cheap, cheap tattoos arent good.” I love my tattoo and will definitely be coming back for more.

Went to see Rachel to take out 2 of my my dermal implants. One was completely swallowed by my body and really lodged in there. I was not expecting this to be fun.... but man was I wrong! Rachel is hilarious. She made me laugh the whole time.She let me know exactly what she was doing and made sure I was comfortable throughout the removal. She obviously knew what she was doing because even after 45 minutes of her stabbing me with a variety of sharp objects (that swallowed dermal anchor was really stuck), the place where my dermals used to be is not even sore or tender! Rachel definitely has magic piercer hands.Taking dermals out is not exactly pleasant, but a part of me wanted the whole thing to last a bit longer because shes so fun to talk to!On a side note, I went there during COVID (late July 2020). They were taking extra care. Letting literally only one person in at a time to the store. They measured my temperature and made me sign a document stating that I dont have any symptoms.

Great experience!! Absolutely love Rachel, shes the best. She made me feel very comfortable, she pierced my nose and i love it! I would give her 10 starts if i could....

I am so happy with the result. Ray was great and did an amazing job. I would definitely go back.

First time getting a tattoo and of course I was very nervous. But the front desk helped me answering all the questions and Drew did a great job.

John (aka Lupo) is an amazing artist! Absolutely professional and considerate, and does phenomenal work. Thanks for my beautiful design and tattoo, I will love it for life! Until next time!

I only went in the store to purchase a spare nose stud and they were really rude about it. They seemed really inconvenienced by the whole transaction even though no customers were there. I would b super anxious to let any of them tattoo me. Also a small steel nose stud was 25$.I follow a lot of their artists on IG (along with other tattooers in the area) and they are not really good for what they charge. I would go to Bethesda Tattoo, they are much more pleasant and some of their artists are insanely talents.But honestly as close as we are to Baltimore and New York, I would make a day trip to a better artist and a better shop

John Lupo is the damn G.O.A.T artist!! My boyfriend & I came in looking to get a very meaningful matching tattoo of our 3 dogs and he was able to sketch us all three dogs on the spot!! We both were able to get our matching tattoos the same day which was amazing. The tattoo came out PERFECT!!! I definitely recommend John for your next tattoo. Also the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Just got a half sleeve done on my forearm and I couldnt be happier! Sir Eric Wilcox was my artist and he did an exceptional job. Very passionate about his work, and extremely neurotic when it comes to lettering and words, so you dont have to worry about him making a mistake. The shop is very clean (brand new needles and ink used for every patron), and the staff is friendly and professional. They care about making sure you leave happy, and will make sure youre absolutely sure about what you want before they begin. I Highly recommend!

Got a good sized custom piece done on my upper arm. Couldnt be happier with it. Sir Eric Wilcox did an exceptional job. The shop is extremely clean and the staff is very professional and friendly. Will definitely be going here in the coming months. Highly recommend.

A great shop with a relaxed, highly professional atmosphere. I highly recommend Codys work - Ive gotten multiple pieces from him, including a half sleeve. I completely trust him to translate my ideas into ink while providing sound artistic advice.

Only one person (friend) allowed back it took them 45 minutes to get prepared for the tattoo even though we already had a consultation. No videos, no pictures they were sort of nice, and this place is way over priced, they will charge you almost double the price of any other tattoo place around here.

I went to get the ok ther nostril pierced and Rachel made me feel so calm and relaxed. She was amazing and professional. Everything was done right in front of me and I was aware the whole process. Thanks so much for everything !!!!

Went and got tattooed by Spencer & Gordey, I have never been happier with my experience at a tattoo shop. Everyone was professional, talented and friendly! definitely recommend going here for all styles of tattoos! Thanks again guys!

Very nice staff, very professional, and the work speaks for itself. The cost for their tattoos is more then regular shops but the quality is 10x better. Definitely plan on coming back!

I got my nose pierced today with Rachel and she was amazing loved her!! She made me feel very comfortable and she is very sweet, she did an amazing job

It was a great experience. The tattoo artists are very talented with their work and they capture each and every detail. Very professional and easy going environment. Love their work.

My girlfriend and I got Pulp Fiction tattoos here with Cody Abell. His lines were clean, fast, and saturated. Super good quality tattoos that are worth the money. Will definitely be going back. :)

Rachel was kind and gentle and able to distract me while getting my dermals taken out. She is the best piercer and I will FOREVER follow her wherever she goes!

Very professional, friendly and clean. I have visited 3 times and am planning a 4th visit. I would highly recommend the Tattoo Paradise in Rockville for someone such as myself who has always been hesitant to get a tattoo. I have been extremely happy with the results.

Took my daughter there to get her ears pierced and couldnt be happier. Rachel was absolutely great with her, explaining everything and making her feel safe and comfortable.

EDIT: Thank you to the owner who replied back, i will come back to see Matt in a few weeks.Over charged $135 for a small, one sq inch tattoo and did it wrong. For some reason the artist Jeff had the welcome staff Nate redraw the small design I brought in, instead of redrawing it himself. During the inking stage, Jeff the artist messed up on the outer line and then tried to talk over his covering up of the mistake while making the circle of the yinyang sign lopsided. Jeff also shrunk and over did the inside of the yinyang sign. Wouldnt ever recommend Jeff, and be sure Nate doesnt draw your stencil. Extremely disappointed.

I walked into the shop with a image of my doxie who passed away a year ago. Everyone in the shop were extremly pleasant and helpful. ScottSketo patiently worked with me to create the image that I had in my mind. The final tattoo was absolutley amazing. Scott managed to capture my Bailey perfectly.The detail is amazing he captured her perfectly. Scott even managed to get the festhering of her fur. He is a very gifted artist and I could not be happier with the finished image. Now I will akways have Bailey with me. The shop was very clean and I was giving care instructions. I highly reccomed Tattoo Paridise and Scott Sketo. Thank you so much Scott .

Got two tattoos here and I LOVE them. Planning on getting another one soon. Very clean and professional. They do a great job and the ink hasnt faded like it has on the tattoos I got at another place.

Starting price is too high. High prices for small amount of work put into their tattoos. Paid over $100 for a letter tattoo that’s thumb size. Overall, it was my first tattoo at Tattoo Paradise, wouldn’t recommend it for a small tattoo.

Got my belly (navel) pierced here by Rachel she is amazing!! Love how clearly she explained everything! Highly recommend her & Tattoo Paradise!

Rob did my tat and it turned out beautifully! The whole place and everyone in it was awesome. 10/10 will get tatted here again! Lotus looks great guys!

Rachel was awesome! No issues with double lobe piercing from day one and now day 14.

John did my tattoo that i dedicated to one of my bestfreinds who passed away and he made the tattoo even better then the actual photo i showed him . It is my first one and he made the experience so easy explained each step and it took 5 minutes

Excellent experience today. Three piercings and a tattoo at this location and Im more than pleased.

Five big stars. Rachel was awesome with our daughters piercing. Highly recommend.

Best shop around! Polite, helpful, quality work and not overpriced. Got a tattoo a while back I scratched it up and they touched it up for free. Dont forget to tip!

These guys are very rude and unprofessional. My daughter was there at their shop and one of the staff was very rude. When my daughter told him that she is not interested after the unprofessional argument she asked for her documents back and they didnt return complete docs copies back to her.Train your staff on customer service it will help you in your business growth.

Got a beautiful tattoo by John Lupo. I asked him to use a drawing I made as a reference and he killed it. Definitely recommend getting some work done from him or at Tattoo Paradise!

My experience was fantastic. Spencer did both forearms for me and took my ideas and ran with it. He was great both as an artist and as a listener.

Worst customer service ever. Dis respectful staff. Not understanding ever. Will re schedule with you 24 hours prior to a tattoo. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Staff was very efficient and listen to all of your concerns. Gave me their text if I had any questions. They replied pretty fast. Nice and clean, lots of options to choose from.

Went to Luke Smith, awesome tattoo, clean and professional, couldn’t have asked for a better experience and tattoo turned out better than I imagined

Ryan Clarke did an amazing job. And Cherryworks piercing is absolutely fabulous. I cant wait to go back.

Rachel is the best for piercing!! Highly recommend

Just wanted to share how refreshing it was to come in to get work done that didnt need to be done, and to have been told that. Its not easy out here to be straight up and down to Earth like that. Big respect!

Got my ears pierced by Rachel who was absolutely wonderful and helped me feel comfortable about getting some piercings in the future that Im nervous about

Couldn’t recommend a tattoo shop any more highly than I do Tattoo Paradise. I’ve got two pieces done there - by two different artists - and I could not be more pleased with their work. I Highly suggest Tattoo Paradise to anyone who asks!

I have gotten 4 tattoos here. Very professional. I was able to walk in on a Thursday afternoon and did not have to wait.

Absolutely incredible artist all wonderful very professional staff. 100% satisfied with all the art work Ive had done with that Ill keep coming back😉

Fantastic Place, working on my next partial sleeve tat here soon. Friendly, clean, amazing artists! Would not go anywhere else!

Really recommend checking this place out. I got my first tattoo here and loved it. Ask for Tom hes amazing.

Very good customer service, clean environment. My artist Cody is awesome👌. Please check him out if you can....

Walked in there some lady was rude to me, then as I was waiting I watched the same lady eating a bag of popcorn while giving the tattoo absolutely disgusting. So I left if you want attitude this is the place for you

Have had a couple things done here and its not bad. But they lost me when they tried to charge me 120 for a one inch letter. EXTREMELY overpriced.

I got a 2 x 2 tattoo and the charge was outrageous, with that being said I do love my tattoo. I probably wont be going back again

I just got my belly button and cartilage pierced by Rachel and she was amazing!

Artist didnt have good bedside manners. Went way too deep with the ink. Have deep scabs that are still healing

I am very happy with the tattoo I received here. The staff was really friendly and accommodating.

Reasonably priced for the quality of work. Always get what I want from the artists, who are speedy and professional. Highly recommend

Got my first piercing here!! Amazing. Didn’t even sting and healed perfectly

Believe the hype about Rachel!!! Excellent piercing experience

Everyone was friendly luke did great work

Nicest piercer ever, great customer service and amazing humor !

Very professional. Had ample supplies of nose rings. It replaced the place I use to go to in airpark

Spencer did an amazing job with my first tattoo!

Rachael is great. Will definitely return for future piercings.

Great piercing experience with @aripokes. Thanks! Well be back.

This place treats their customers well no matter what they will do their best service. Had an amazing and comfortable time here.

You can get piercings and tattoos. The staff is very polite, knowledgeable and friendly.

Such a clean and professional space. So happy with their service every time I go.

This is the best place to get a tattoo or piercing in the Gaithersburg/Rockville area.

Rachel Tillis was great. I felt no pain. Thank you.

Overpriced and arrogant.But, my tattoo came out decently enough.

Tom was super nice and my tattoo is super clean

Great staff. So friendly. They get your ideas!

I made an appointment for a piercing and the day of the chick cancelled

Amazing customer service, price and artists! Must say I will come back!!!!

They look clean. Theyre nice! Loved the place!!!
