Hunter is great tattoo artist and an all around good dude. His work is fantastic. Convenient location, sanitary, clean, awesome covid 19 protocols. By appointment only right now. I say book an appointment if your wondering.
My bf got his first and second tat here after doing a journalist piece on the artist. It was a super cool place. Vibes and people were aces. I also got a small piece here. Totally chill space. Highly recommend the artists who work here!
Best place for your pain pleasures and great work been going there now been 4 appointments arm sleeve looking amazing thanks .
Absolutely obsessed with my new tattoo. Inky did a great job with my rework/cover-up. She worked with me on my vision and really brought it to life. The shop also did a great job with sanitization, temp checks, etc with the current Covid situation. Excited to go back for my second session.
I went in for my first tattoo yesterday, and I could not have had a better experience. The atmosphere was clean, brightly lit and welcoming. Ely did my tattoo, and she is such a sweet and kind person. She led me through all of the steps kindly and gently, putting my nerves immediately at ease.The tattoo she did for me is GORGEOUS. It is exactly what I wanted - I wouldnt change one thing about it. She was wonderful through the process, too, making sure to take frequent enough breaks so that I could stand up and stretch and look at the progress in the mirror.If I ever get another tattoo, it will be with Ely at Idle Hands.
Elyse does incredible designs & her line work is perfect!
I have been here twice now, great vibes, awesome artists and I couldnt be happier. Dollar is extremely professional and pays attention to every detail. I will always come here for my work and I highly recommend Idle Hands to anyone who wants high quality ink. Look no further, this is your place!
Wonderful tattoo shop! Ive gotten several pieces by Ely Wick. She is so kind and talented. She puts so much love and creativity into each piece she does. I cant say enough good things about her and her beautiful art.
Elyse is amazing. She’s going to be my tattoo go to. I’ll follow her if she goes anywhere else. She’s just that good.
Elly is awesome. We love her so much. The rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My wife and i get all of our ink from here as well as a lot of our friends.
Every time I have gone to Idle hands I’ve always have an awesome experience! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo, so far I’ve got about 4 medium size tattoos for a great price! The staff is hilarious and make you feel welcomed!
Even though my tattoo is simple I must say that this place is amazing and the service was amazing no wait and the people are really nice. I will be going back for my other tattoo in the near future. I would recommend this place for any of ur tattoo or piercing wants.
Mariana is a wizard and did what no other tattoo artist would even entertain.. The shop is clean and comfy. Good vibes. Good people. And you’re missing out if you haven’t had the pleasure of being tattooed here
Ely is amazing, the place is nicely decorated, clean, covid safe, professional.
Ive gotten a few tattoos from various artists here and each of them were professional, highly artistic, and awesome to hang out with for hours at a time. Theyre also a very clean studio overall. I would definitely recommend getting a tattoo here.
I could go into full details about this place, but what better way to describe it than AWESOME! Amazing artists with awesome talent and personalities that will suck you in, I more than highly recommend this place, and their work is phenomenal. I do say this because I love every experience Ive had in this shop, plus my beautiful added piece from here. I cannot wait for many more, and I say, why are you waiting?? GO TO IDLE HANDS!!
Amazing artists and very friendly, no pressure atmosphere.
My boyfriend and I wanted to get tattoos in memory of our late grandmothers. After my grandmothers funeral, just yesterday, we strolled into the shop (along with some other family members) and Robin and the young lady were very welcoming and helped us immediately. Robin was fast and excellent and made me feel very comfortable, especially with it being my first tattoo. He even allowed me to have my family stand and watch in support, he joked with everyone and made us feel like we had known him for years lol. :-) I will be back again very soon!
Ria was so compassionate, friendly and professional. She made sure that every single moment from talking with her on the phone to the,way she treated not only me but * every * single customer was treated with a level of customer service you rarely see anymore. She also put her own little flair into my design which just made it that more special !!!!! 💖
Saw an advertisement for marvel related black friday tattoos and reached out to the artist about a piece i wanted to get started for my son. I havent gone to a shop since my preferred artist past away and Mariana went out of her way to make me comfortable in getting new work. I had to push my appointment back due to court and she still found time to work around my schedule. My tattoo turned out amazing, its juggernaut and she did a great job, the details on his helmet and hands are incredible. Cant wait to go back for my next piece. Highly recommend to anyone.
Ely is the best tattoo artist ever!!
I message them on their Facebook and I got a response within 5 min very nice and the gave me a price and great.. Excited to get my new tattoo soon...
Elyse was amazing!
Mr. J, Thanks for helping me put memories of my good boy Dart on my skin. Hes always with me.
Ely is awesome always, staff is friendly and the setup is very cool and comfortable
Im Henry and Im way happy getting a tattoo of a koi dragon done by Robin. It was my first tatt and wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to hurt. Great sense of humor, down to earth people, all very talented and the place is super clean. Love the art pieces up on display on the walls and the vibe there makes you want to come back. I love it there and planning to go back. Thank you guys
I have gotten most of my work done by Crystal aka Inky McStapleface. Not only is her work absolutely excellent, but the all around atmosphere of the shop is awesome. It is very inviting and friendly yet professional and . All of the artists are very easy to talk to and personable, which is why I am and will continue to be a repeat client.
Brookelle has done 6 of my tattoos and has been amazing each time. Highly recommended
From the moment I walked up just to get a feel for the shop, to getting my piece done last night, it was a great experience! Ria is fantastic and very in-tune with her customers. She was very positive and always had good ideas for adjusting my artwork.I love my piece and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. Thank you Ria!
Ive had two tattoos done by Crystal and im very happy with them. I plan to go back and have her do several more. I know friends who have also gone to her and been very satisfied.
Brookelle did my eyebrows. Love her work. Always perfect.
Been speaking with tattoo artist, Kinsey for over a year about starting my abstract sleeve and she has been more than patient and kind during this long process. Finally made an appointment today after my consultation and I cannot wait to get started. The shops atmosphere is very comfortable; as soon as I walked in I felt at home. I would recommend this place to anyone!! #abstracttattoos #watercolortattoos
Designed my tattoo and did amazing work I am very happy with my tattoo
Absolutely an AWESOME shop with FABULOUS artists!!! Ely and Jay are the BEST!!!
So this happened a while ago, and I wasn’t going to say anything until I realized Idle Hands does flash events often. I went to a Friday the 13th flash event about a year ago. My boyfriend and I each selected an exclusive design that had to be done by their artist Sheryl. They took our names and told us the wait would be about 3 hours. No big deal. We came back 3 hours later and were told the same thing. At this point we’re confused but assumed that because we had selected these exclusive designs they were thrown off? We originally selected our designs at 3 Pm, and ended up not getting our tattoos started until 4 am. We meet Sheryl, who was very friendly, but very unprofessional. She complained about her lack of training from previous shops and told us this was the first “real” shop she had worked at, and she had only been there a few weeks. She played on her phone and laptop during the tattoo, which was obviously not sanitized, and would continue to tattoo without changing gloves. She informed us that she had never even done a color tattoo until that day. My boyfriend went first and his piece wasn’t too bad, so I went next. The stencil was very messed up, but instead of redoing it she left it and tried to work through it. She was very heavy handed considering the piece was over scars, and she tore my skin in several places. In the meantime, my friend was getting tattooed by the owner in another room, who gave her a very messy and blown out tattoo. Later on when she complained about the shop the owner got in a very unprofessional argument with her on Facebook blaming my friend for choosing to get tattooed at 6 am, when she was the one who continued to take clients well into the morning. If she wasn’t in a state to tattoo she shouldn’t have tattooed anyone and could have rescheduled or stopped accepting clients after a certain number. Meanwhile, Sheryl was digging into my skin and gave me a very uneven and sloppily done tattoo, which later did become infected, I’m sure due to her poor sanitation techniques (again, she was playing on her phone and laptop in the middle of the tattoo.. people play with their phones on the toilet.. once gloves are on you shouldn’t be touching anything that hasn’t been sanitized). In their defense, i got the infection treated myself and never alerted the shop, but I’m seeing more and more flash events from this shop and have to warn how poorly they handle them. I did also originally ask for color with my tattoo which would cost extra. They told me how much when they took my name. After the sloppy linework Sheryl decided she didn’t want to do the color, and I agreed because at that point I could already see that my skin was torn and very bloody (this coming from a person with 14 large tattoos including work over scars, this was an abnormal amount of blood) and the tattoo itself was uneven and poorly done. She never adjusted the price, however, but I didn’t point it out because at that point I was exhausted, so sad about this tattoo, and just wanted to leave. I can’t speak for how they are on a day to day, but I can say the flash events are awful. They take on too much of a work load because they don’t turn people away, they lie about wait times, and additionally the owner attacks people on Facebook for not being happy with her messy work, and she employs people who don’t understand basic santization techniques. Just be careful.
Idle Hands is fantastic. Nice atmosphere, spacious, clean, comfortable, friendly. I was tattooed by Brookelle Bombshelle and my cousin was tattooed by Brian Dollar. Both did excellent work and were very kind. Brook was so entertaining I felt like wed been friends for years lol definitely distracted me from the painHighly highly recommended. And very responsive if you contact them on FB.
Execellent little tattoo shop. pleasant folks, nice environment. pika pika
Owner is EXTREMELY unprofessional. I am absolutely appalled by the way she runs her business. I witnessed her loudly talking about letting an artist go... while there were customers in the shop. This shop is full of drama that they in no way, shape, or form attempt to hide from the customers. I suggest not going, unless you like ripped off art, drama, and an unprofessional atmosphere.
Great shop, good atmosphere, friendly staff, and Jason does great work
Mariana was awesome! Shes a phenomenal artist.
Great work, amaizing prices. A place I can actually trust.
Ely is an enthusiastic artist!Very excited to return.
Says they close at 8, went there at 6, door was locked and no one answered the phone despite calling twice. It’s a Tuesday.
Customer service was so OUTSTANDING that I would recommend them to everyone !!! Talented and professional plus a very wonderful and creative design that didnt break the bank. A combination very hard to come by anymore.
I am Tony DeVille from DeVille Ink Tattoo & Piercing Company in Baltimore. Robin Punky Lasky did my Jessica Rabbit tattoo. He has hands of a Greek God and I will have them do anther tattoo for. The shop is very nice and clean. It made me feel like I wan in my own shop!
The owner is very professional and handled a situation with respect and human decency . Would go back because of it
