I highly recommend [Tattooed Heart Studios](https://www.tattooedheart.com/) right outside of Baltimore. All of the artist have amazing work and it is one of the nicest studios I have been too. Andrea did my newest piece, but I would honestly go to any of the artist there and know I got a quality piece. They are all very active in instagram too.

Go to Richmond. The talent down there dwarfs what we have up here. Start with Unkindness Art.

[Rick's tattoo's](http://www.rickstattoostudio.com) I haven't had work done there yet, but I have done some research & the shop comes highly recommended. It's a hole in the wall but evidently the artists are very good, and they have been around a long time.

I don't have a single tattoo but because of small talk with friends who do have tats, Orange Tattoo Company is on my radar and they appear to have good reviews.

It really depends on what type or style you want, but like others have said, Orange Tattoo has really great artists. I have my entire back done, plus a few other pieces from there. My artist's name is Carl/Carlos. I gave him a vague idea, and he ran with it, and I couldn't be happier with the piece. He went far beyond what I was hoping for. Lucky Bird also has some amazing artists as well! I've gotten several from them, looking to get another piece soon. Good luck!

MGN at One Shot in Edgewater is always my recommendation. Excellent with color.

KeyCity Tattoo in Fredrick. You won’t regret it. Solid work over there. Tons of experience.

I go to Orange tattoo and see Joewone. If you go to Orange's Facebook, there is an album for each artist and you can see his work. He just did a half sleeve for me that I absolutely love about a year ago.
QueenoftheBunnies replied:
Lucky Bird! Their artists have a good variety of styles and everyone that works there is incredibly sweet and professional. They’re honestly the only tattoo shop in Annapolis I feel completely comfortable in.

Russell, Chris and Frankie at Oxblood Ink in Severna Park. They are extremely talented.

I've gotten 2 from Orange, one is great (a traditional anchor by Brady) the other is ok- has small issues but if you aren't looking close or really into tattoos you wouldn't notice. It was done as a walk in (not by Brady). The shop I LOVE though and keep going back to is [Black Lotus ](https://instagram.com/blacklotustat2 gallery?igshid=1 bvo92 ijuyijy). They are located in Hanover by Arundel Mills mall and have an artist for each style. I see Merv, he's very detailed and illustrative. But they've got someone for everything. Its a great shop, very nice, can get expensive but you get what you pay for with tattoos. I've also seen good work come out of Lucky Bird if you wanna stay in Annapolis.

Everyone I know (says the tatooless guy) swears by Frankie Orange. Also, have heard good things about the new one opening at West and Calvert.. Red Octopus -- they have several locations and not sure when Annapolis one is opening, but they have a good reputation.

I know folks who have been to One Shot Studio and Lucky Bird and they have given both places good reviews. I'm sorry I can't speak to their styles, but both places have been here for a long time and generally get good reviews. When my fiance went to Lucky Bird for a piercing, the first thing she commented on was how clean their shop was inside and that's pretty important for me to hear!

Anyone at http://www.blacklotustattoos.com/ near Arundel Mills.
Do anyone know of a good tattoo artist in the DMV area?
Sentinel F. replied:
What you trying to get? When I was shopping for an artist I checked out this website http://www.trueartists.com/ And you can search and compare. Good luck.
Does anyone know of a REALLY good tattoo artist?, not a bad/cheap person off the streets or fresh out of prison... Someone that actually works at a shop!
