Took my terrified mother in for her first tattoo and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional & kind hearted experience. It goes beyond the art. Mike is an absolute gem, as is the company he keeps in his shop. It’s no surprise to us that this place has won so many awards, we can’t imagine going anywhere else now.
I went with a friend to get a piercing while she got tattooed I ended up with 9 new piercings! I love every single one and Sev was super cool! I’m definitely going back once my piercings heal for the new jewelry. The next day I had an appointment with Bambi for a tattoo she did excellent and I love it so much! She was easy to talk to and really understood what I wanted. She worked extra hard to make sure the piece fit and looked perfect. He detailing is amazing as well! I have another consult with her at the end of august and I want to get all my tattoos from her!
My friend makenzi is a super talented apprentice here and always delivers on their designs and execution. i’ve gotten ten tattoos by them so far and can’t wait to go back for more. the shop and other artists are super nice and cool as well. great environment and good people. have brought a couple friends here as well and they have nothing but good things to say.
Called Makenzi and made a consultation (it was very easy to do), she was very pleasant and professional. Listened to what I wanted. Later she sent me a pic of what she drew. I liked it but asked for a change and she accommodated my request. We set a date and time along with a good price. I showed up 5 minutes early and she was already ready for me. She had options on size and we decided on 1. She finished the tattoo in the time frame that was set up. This is my 4th different tattoo and each of them are from a different artist. But I’m already having her draw up my next one. I definitely would recommend her and the tattoo shop. Plus they played a great variety of music. Helps to distract from the pain.
If you want an amazing tattoo this is the place to go! Outstanding customer service, Molly was super cool and Im already planning my next piece that I want to get from her! She was also super affordable, even with a good tip I spent less then I expected to just on my tattoo😁 thank you so much Molly, will be back again!
Got some work done by Brittany today at her new place. The place was clean, everyone was so helpful and pleasant, and Brittany does great work. Lovin it!!
First time going here seen them on Facebook from a mutual friend. Shop is beyond clean, staff is warm and welcoming. Amanda is a great artist who worked with me and my sister getting tattoos and my sisters first tattoo. The entire staff made the experience. I highly recommend this place. We will be coming back for all our future tattoos here the vibes are unmatched by any other tattoo shop I have found so far.
So happy with my experience here. My two sisters and I wanted to get a group tattoo. We were able to schedule the appointment and send our reference pictures for our designs over Instagram. Lexi showed us our designs when we got there and worked with us to make a few modifications, then she just rolled through our tattoos one by one. She was so cool and patient and easy to work with, and the tattoos look incredible. We were there just over 3 hours, I think, which i think is pretty good time for 3 tattoos. Would absolutely recommend Lexi!
Absolutely astounding work done by Holly, @traditionallybonded on Instagram, some of the cleanest and best American traditional I have ever seen, Ill be coming back frequently
Myself and my husband walked in to see about getting matching tattoos yesterday. They fit us right in the schedule same day, without any problems. First impression was how clean that place was. I have never been to a tattoo shop so clean. One of the piercer met with us to get paper work done and was so extremely nice. The whole atmosphere was amazing. Bambi did our tattoos and was so knowledgeable about tattooing hands and the healing process. So took her time to make sure it was placed perfect. Even though it was after hours, we did not feel rushed nor did she rush. She was so friendly. Everyone we spoke with there was friendly and welcoming and thats really hard to find at a tattoo place. We didnt feel like they are all about money but about making sure their clients are happy with their work. I cant say enough about how well the experience was. We will definitely be coming back for more.
Love this shop - gotten half a dozen tattoos from various artists here, everyone is great. Special shout out to MaKenzi and Mike Griffin for being fantastic artists
I came in to get a piercing by bubbles and it was the best experience i had! She made me feel comfortable and was easy peasy. I’m definitely coming back soon to get a tattoo.
Hunter did a killer job. Contacted him last minute and was able to get a same day appointment. Its the time and care to get it right that i really appreciated. Definitely will go back and finish my sleve here. Worth the drive from Baltimore.
I love love love my tattoo from Casey. She was so sweet and wonderful, definitely will be my go to artist for the foreseeable future. Great conversation too!
My brother and I scheduled appointments to get tattoos in honor of our dad. The studio is super clean and the staff was WONDERFUL! The artist we worked with was kind, accommodating, and patient working with us while developing our tattoos. I would definitely recommend this shop and go again myself!
I solicited several tattoo artists within 50 or so miles, trying to find someone that could produce a photorealistic piece for me. Several artists said Nick Herrick is the only I guy I know that could do that for you anywhere near here. Finished this in three sessions. Nick is gifted!
Hands down the BEST tattoo experience with Casey Hart. To start off Diamond Dagger is VERY clean and made me feel safe while in their shop. I was recommend to Casey from seeing her artwork on someone else and it was the best decision choosing her to do one of my biggest pieces yet. She was very attentive to the detail I wanted in my tattoo and was able to bring my idea to life while also incorporating her style into it. I would very much recommend Casey if you are looking for a good quality tattoo. I would also recommend Diamond Dagger because everyone else there seemed very talented! Thank you Casey again! I can’t wait to get another piece from you soon :)
I just got my first tattoo done here by Casey and cannot say enough incredible things about her, this studio, and my experience here.First Id just like to say... this studio is professional, clean, neat & tidy, and super inviting. You can tell that all of the artists there really take pride in their work and making sure you have a pleasant and comfortable experience.Secondly- CASEY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! HANDS DOWN. I booked with her because I was intrigued by her work and her style fit exactly what I was looking for. Her line work, delicacy, and precision of detail is so beautiful. At my consultation I told her I wanted flowers on my foot and she drew up a rough sketch and seemed to totally get what I was wanting. I told her I wasnt that picky about what kinds of flowers she did; I was very familiar with her work as I spent a lot of time researching and looking at her portfolio so I learned which types of flowers she liked to do a lot of. I trusted her and knew that whatever she did was going to look bomb. On the day of my appointment she actually ended up free-handing most of the flowers, stems, and leaves on my foot which I am still blown away by. Not only is she an AMAZING artist, she is super sweet, friendly, funny, and made me feel SO comfortable and relaxed when I was nervous about the pain. She is also super informative about tattoos and did a great job explaining the aftercare process for me since I was not familiar.Overall, my experience here was beyond what I could ask for and I would highly recommend this studio and especially Casey to anyone!! I have received so many compliments already, even my mom who was not thrilled about me getting a tattoo loves it! I totally want to come back here and book with Casey for my second tattoo.
It is obvious that all the artists from this shop love their job and their work. Brilliant atmosphere and staff, and Casey is fantastic, patient and a joy to talk with. My piece turned out more amazing than I could ever have hoped for, and I will absolutely return to Diamond Dagger for more tattoos in the future. Definitely the best tattoo experience I have had yet!
I got tattooed by Casey on Wednesday and it was probably the best tattoo experience Ive ever had. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming. From the moment I walked through the door I felt like family, even though it was only my first time there. If you are thinking about going here I cant say you should enough! Thank you Casey for the amazing care you take! My tattoo is better than i couldve ever imagined!
Casey Hart has this piece available for Halloween and of course I fell in love with her! Upon arriving at the shop, Casey was so friendly and her vibrant personality made me so comfortable. The vibe of the tattoo shop was unmatched, everyone was so cool and laid back. The shop was spotless and everyone was being Covid-safe. I’m beyond psyched that I have a tattoo by Casey on my body and I can’t wait for more! Will recommend her and Diamond Dagger endlessly!
Went there as a walk in with my friend and I to get matching tattoos. The people there are GREAT and so sociable. I want back again for my husband to get a tattoo and I plan on going back for a couple more to collect the different artists work. The place is really clean and well lit and I had a great time. Nothing like ink therapy.
By far the best first experience and great first impression coming into the shop its very clean and organized. As I got in I was welcomed by friendly faces. Customer service was amazing. I scheduled an appointment with Gabby and a small last minute personal emergency happened on which I couldnt go to the appointment I initially planned but Gabby was such a helpful sweetheart and was able to reschedule my appointment. On the initial reschedule date she still checked up on me and reminded me both the day before and on the day of if I still wanted to go through with getting my tattoos done. During the process she made sure I was comfortable and ok. Lets face it, everyone has different tolerance on pain and this was my first time ever getting a tattoo, heck two tattoos in one visit but again her customer service was way above and beyond, even the other artists there too. Im definitely coming back here and book with Gabby. I live an hour away from Diamond Dagger but it really was worth the drive. I highly suggest getting your tattoos done here and go book with Gabby!! Shes super sweet, funny, and amazing artist and very knowledgeable on how to take care of a tattoo while it heals!!!!
So I was recommended this shop by a friend and all her work is sick so I was really really excited. I booked an appointment for May 14th about a month in advance. I showed up the day of my appointment and the shop door is opened and unlocked, but all the lights are off and no one is there. I called the shop a few times thinking maybe someone was on break since my appointment was around lunch time. No one answered. I waited 15 minutes before another client showed up and was just as confused. I ended up messaging their Instagram just to make sure everyone was okay. I received a reply two days later saying that all the artists had gone to the tattoo convention in Baltimore that weekend. I was annoyed because I had received emails leading up to the appointment confirming my date and time, but suddenly no one was going to be in the shop? They apologised and asked who the artists was. I let them know I was supposed to be working with Nick and they assured me that he would reach out and get me rebooked.It’s been two months and I have not heard from Nick, the shop, or anyone associated with the shop to even say something like, “Nick is unavailable and I’ll be more than happy to help.” Nothing. This shop is completely unprofessional and as excited as I was to work with them, I am now looking for another shop that will actually keep their clients updated and let them know when they are unable to provide the service they booked.
I got my second tattoo with Casey after the reopening after Covid crisis. I could not have felt safer. The staff were all using mask and the whole procedure since the time you walk in, until you are done, is made to keep everyone safe! Besides the fact that Casey is an amazing tattoo artist, the whole team is very welcoming and the studio sparkling clean. Totally worth it!
Casey Hart is kind, respectful, absolutely professional and insanely talented! She puts so much love, dedication and attention to detail into every single on of her pieces. It was such a pleasure to get tattooed by her and I’m so excited to get to wear one of her designs for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to come back to her for many more! ✌🏼💖
This comment is definitely for people of color do not go to this shop. I went to an artist here named Bambi. After 3 weeks this is how my neck piece healed. Blotchy, Warped and super dark. ( I have tattoos on the other side of my neck that are 6 yrs old and are still bright) after telling this lady about how unsatisfactory this 400 tattoo is. She blamed me and the suggested I just wanted a refund that I never asked for. When I called the owner he tried to tell me it could be from moving my neck and these kinds of things happen with neck pieces.( mind you he didn’t even take the time to look at the pictures I sent, I never received a call back or the apology I was looking for. They offered me a touch up with the same artist. Do not go to this shop if u have Malonate skin. I have over 10 tattoos nd I’ve never had nothing like this happen. Don’t waste your time or money.
If I could give more stars I would. This studio is full of rockstars. Everyone is so helpful and you can tell they love what they do. The music selection is great which really sets the tone for your experience. I booked with Casey- who I have previously been tattooed by. She is such a visionary. You can give her an idea or concept and she is able to make it come to life better than you even imagined it.My friend who was with me played the gum ball machine game (you get a random tattoo for 50 dollars) and ended up getting a spontaneous tattoo!Overall, would recommend to a friend, family member or stranger.
We went today to get our 8 year old daughters ears pierced. Sev did a fantastic job talking us through the process and helping guide our daughter through the piercing. We highly recommend this shop!
My husband and I came in to get arrow tattoos, and it was both of our first tattoos. This is a great shop for those of you that want to feel comfortable! The shop is incredibly clean and the artists are awesome people. We are already looking forward to our next ones! We are both very happy with our tattoos (from Mike, the owner) and definitely recommend his shop!
This is my second tattoo from Diamond Dagger and the experience was still amazing! Casey and her apprentice Ryan are both so talented and fun to work with. Im so happy to find such amazing artists who really seem to love their jobs! I would recommend them both to anyone looking to get a tattoo in the Maryland area.
Casey Hart did an incredible job with my tattoo. Her work speaks for itself, so check it out @artxharttattoos on Instagram. What I want to share was how great the experience as a whole was.This was my second tattoo but the first was a few years old. Basically, it had been a while and I was a little nervous, but Casey calmed me by her demeanor and her smooth, professional process. My tattoo was originally scheduled for late April (obvi that didnt work out!). Casey and her team were very communicative about rescheduling. Once a new date was set, she explained the new procedures well and got to it. This tattoo did not hurt (whereas my last one was awful). Truly she has baby hands. At the end, she explained aftercare, answered my many questions, and helped take pictures (it was on my back). I HIGHLY recommend working with Casey for your tattoo.
Came in for ear piercing for my 7 year old daughter. Hunter did the work. He was so laid back, calm and collected, showed everything, paid attention, explained how it all will happen, answered all the questions that it put both myself and my daughter at ease. The procedure was quick and mostly painless, he took his time to make sure it was centered and perfect. Then he explained how to take care of it. Amazing experience, beautiful studio, wonderful people and just awesome all around! Highly recommend him! And wish him all the best in his career!
Casey is absolutely amazing! She really listens and tries to give you what youre looking for while also providing an impeccable sense of artistry. Her line work and shading are both perfection and she has such a delicate touch that theres minimal pain. Shes the best!
Thomas is by far the most amazing artist around. Not only is his work pristine, his attention to detail and dedication to making each tattoo perfect is what makes him the all around best. He was patient and super understanding even when I’m pretty sure i was the most annoying customer in the world. Everything from the shop to the staff is straight up magical and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work.
I had a fantastic experience at this shop. Kris is phenomenal, from his communication before our session, his amazing tattoo work and his professionalism. His work is amazing. He gave my tattoo his undivided attention the entire time. I will be recommending him to everyone!! Thanks Kris!!
Excellent staff, all very friendly! Their tattoo machines hardly make any noise if that’s something that gets to you. My artist was Ashley and she was great! Highly recommend.
Casey did an amazing job on my mom and Is tattoos. The shop was clean and a great atmosphere. My only complaint is that they are a bit pricey. But a good tattoo is worth paying a little extra for.
Diamond Dagger Tattoo Studio@justin helms tattoosJustin brought my design to life. I brought my concept in and he made this happen. From the shading to the thorns, to the extra care on the prints. He was so patient and understanding of my disability, a real pleasure to work with. The atmosphere was so relaxing, friendly, no judgment, you felt like part of the family. I will always recommend them and cherish my interactions with them. You cant find better service, better art or better passion.Mike, you have the best family ❤
I went here to get a cheek bone dermal and SEV really took care of me. He spent at least 30 minutes calming me down because i was so nervous of the pain and healing process. He told me his background of piercing and said everything he needed to to gain my trust. This piercing took at least 20 seconds for him to complete and there was NO PAIN , i didn’t even know it was done until he told me. All of my future piercings will 100% be by Sev!
I am so happy with the tattoo that Kim did for me in memory of my husband. That salon is exceptional clean and the staff are friendly! I would encourage all you older folks who are hesitant to get a tattoo,I say go for it and get it here!! You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic tattoo studio with professional and friendly artists and. Amazing ink work and top class service👍 highly recommended!
This tattoo studio has awesome artists and even better people !! No matter the style they have an artist to go above and beyond to give you the most fantasticly amazinly unique tattoo. Shout out to my girl Casey !! Shes is awesome !! This place is highly highly recommend.
Terrible experience. Tried to get a tattoo covered up. After 3 in person visits, two initial forms being completed, four phone calls, and 3hrs of wasted time driving there and back I have yet to get any details of when the cover up will take place. I started this process 3 months ago assuming it may take some time to schedule the tattoo - still nothing. Walk-ins are factually not welcomed. Good luck reaching anyone who will give you a straight answer or is remotely helpful. If the shop doesnt want to do the tattoo, just say that. If the shop is this apathetic about doing a tattoo, no way Ill let anyone employed there work on me. All that effort and time wasted for no reason. You dont want to do the tattoo just tell the customer that. Please take the stupid sign off the door that says walk-ins welcome. Dont waste peoples time. Do the tattoo or dont and just say that. We are adults. Dont want my money, just say so and Ill find someone who does. This isnt rocket science.
Ive known the owner for almost 20 years. Great guy and extremely passionate about his work. Ive seen very few tattoo artists nationwide that are at his level.The best part is where as most artists are great at 1 specific type of tattoo he specializes in many.
Casey Hart just did an AMAZING micro needle tattoo for me and was better than i could ever have expected. Will be back and HIGHLY reccomend her. Five stars isnt enough to do her justice. Thanks Casey!!!!
Holly and Tyler did great work, Im very excited about my new tattoos
My visit today was WELL above my expectations. Its the first real art piece I have gotten in a shop and Im ecstatic with the turn out. Mike does amazing work and I will be a forever customer of his! Diamond dagger is the best!
I went to get a memorial tattoo after my Mother passed away. I’m no spring chick btw . The artist listened to me, asked questions about my Mom. He produced a lovely bouquet of flowers , and he wrapped them in a beautiful pink ribbon, which I was surprised with. He really listened... my Mom was 97 when she passed... a breast cancer survivor, and the pink ribbon was a surprise. When he showed me the work he had done I cried. It was beautiful.
I got a memorial peice for my recently passed best friend by Matt Diaz. He exceeded my expectations and made my vision turn to reality. I truly love all the amazing small details he put in, you can tell how much he wants to perfect your tattoo while working by how focused he is ,and he’s really funny, and nice while doing it. Thanks again Matt & everyone at diamond dagger. Will be back.
I came to Jules with a very specific request. She nailed it 110 percent. Will def be back. Very clean shop. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I am more than happy with my results!!
I got my first tattoo here and I loved it !! I got my tattoo done my Matt and it turned out very well ! I love all the detailing and work that went into this and I’m so happy with my new tattoo !! I definitely recommend coming here because everyone is so friendly as well :)))
Ashley has been working on a cover-up for me and it is amazing! I also really like the atmosphere here; the people are great and the music is fitting. Will definitely get all future work done here
If you want a rude, pompous tattoo artist that ignores his clients, doesnt show up for appts, and asks the DAY OF what you want when you had a consult WEEKS AGO- then Mike Dolch is your guy. You can really tell this guy is arrogant, and every client is another dollar sign. He randomly comes up with prices off the top of his head as he feels like it. Not to mention the fact that the music is so incrediblyloud and blaring that you cant even hear yourself think. If you want a reputable, PROFESSIONAL company with amazing artists and good customer service, Id recommend Konkrete Jungle or Black Cat Tattoos. Ill never give this guy or his shop any business again. Granted, he does do good work, but that does not make up for bad quality customer service.
They are superbly disrespectful and unprofessional, the price of my tattoo wasn’t even right. The artist upcharged me a reasonable amount and when I asked where these hidden prices came from the artist told got upset and said I wasn’t trying to pay for the tattoo. Very Sketchy and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Nick and Mike to call them out.
Penny is so sweet and helpful! She was super gentle, and really understanding. I really recommend her! She and Chris made my experience here amazing!!!! Much love
This afternoon I got a tattoo done by matthew and I cant say say enough how much love love love this tattoo!! He made the design fit my body perfectly and took his time (which I have so much respect for) and talked to me the whole time making sure I was as comfortable as possible and not to mention the prices were great.
Very clean, professional and welcoming shop! Ive so far gotten a tattoo and two piercings from Hunter and the whole experience was a pleasure. Youll be in good hands
Good art. Great atmosphere. Awesome people.
Went in this morning to get a piercing for myself , my daughter and my son as a walk in. Sev was amazing, friendly, personable, clean and did a fantastic job on all three piercings... (one ear lobe one septum and one labret) he made my kids feel comfortable and relaxed (esp my daughter who has anxiety but felt totally at ease with him) and we definitely recommend him for all your piercings!!!
My first studio tattoo and they made my tatt turn out mona lisa good.Definately took the time to do a good job.And the team were nice and completely badass
Me and my boyfriend went today to get my little pony tattoo done on my thigh we had the best greeting by my tattoo artist Will he was so nice and so gental when he was doing my tattoo. Thank you so much for the princess Luna tattoo i really appreciate you taking time to do that for me.
Went here for my very first tattoo and the service was wonderful. The tattoo healed perfectly and they designed it beautifully.
Great work by Holly. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.
So helpful and friendly after I had an issue with my piercing that was done at another shop, they were professional and the peircer was very nice. Appreciated he was not just trying to sell me something like another piece of jewelry
Ashley was very professional and dedicated to making sure my tattoo was perfect. Shes a great artist
Always completely satisfied w the work I get from this shop. Casey is seriously talented and I recommend her to everyone that wants quality work done.
Got my nose pierced and the process with fill out a questionnaire and actual steps was fast. Great service.
Sev gave me shark bites today! Im so happy! Always a great experience with Sev!
Justin does such a great job ensuring his customers are taken care of and happy! Quality work for a great price!
Pretty sure I got an infection from the piercing I got here. Owner was very rude to me. I would never go back here or recommend this place to anyone. Bush league.
Very unprofessional artists do not respond...messaged owner a couple of times with no response...communication is horrible. Must say shop is very clean.
Nick did a fantastic job on my sons tattoo. Ill be seeing him soon for mine 😉
Amazing place, all the artists are so talented. My tattoo was done by Ryan Waid.
Had a great time! Super friendly environment, Kenzi was super nice and very professional!
Lexi did a great job with my daughter for her first tattoo
Amazingly professional and well decorated.
Brookelle is amazing and my go to artist at Diamond Dagger. Highly recommended
