I finally started researching shops this summer and Iron Hand Is about two minutes from my house and had amazing reviews, so I went ahead and booked. I couldn't really remember what to expect from my first tattoo, so I was excited, but a little anxious. Maegan was amazing from start to finish. I sent her some ideas the day before and when I went in, she was patient and it was clear she wanted me to be comfortable with every detail. You can see right away from the vibe of the place that it is just somewhere fun to be and you quickly feel relaxed and comfortable. There were several other tattoos going on at the same time and all the artists were so professional and kind. It's been a rough summer, so in addition to being completely ecstatic about how it came out, I feel like I needed that two hours to just take in the positive energy. From the reviews, I was confident that it was going to be a good experience, but it far exceeded that and I'm already planning for my next one! Thanks Maegan!

I had ideas but nothing set in stone. I emailed the shop with my thoughts and I received a response a few days later suggesting I meet with artist Chris Velencia. I made the appt and met with him and new right away he and powering were the right choice. The art we landed on was the style Chris liked and was great at. Set my appt for about a month later to do it and I cant be happier im writing this and we are not even done im so happy with how its coming out

The person at the front desk was so patient and professional, the office was clean and had a great atmosphere and aesthetic, and Mikey, our piercer, was so wonderful! Mikey's work space is decked out in the coolest The Nightmare Before Christmas theme, which happens to be a movie my daughter had a brief obsession with not that long ago, so she instantly was so relaxed considering she was about to have her ears pierced! She was very excited but also expectedly very nervous, but Mikey explained every step so she knew what to expect and it was so quick and over in a flash she didn't even flinch! She absolutely loves her new pierced ears and is looking at them in the mirror every chance she gets. Minimal redness and swelling so far, Mikey gave us some after care instructions and the World's Best Business Card. Little details like that just show that this person loves their career and invests in themselves, and that's a person you can trust to give your kids, and yourself, the best possible piercing experience and outcome. Thank you, Unicorn Ink! I will recommend your studio every single time to any parent who ever asks where they should get their child's ears pierced, or anyone else for that matter!

I'm looking forward to going back to see Danny to have another nice size tattoo done. It is definitely going to be my place to go when I'm not in Florida getting them done by my artist there!

I came here for my first tattoo. I was planning on getting three stars on my lower ankle but ended…read moreup with a trail of ten stars around my hip. Let me start from the beginning. My friend and I arrived early because Federal Hill only accepts reservations in person. When I told the artist that I wanted a tattoo on my foot, he advised against it. He explained that the skin on your foot is very delicate and foot tattoos don't hold up over time. I guess a lot of people come in and ask for Nicole Richie's famous cross tattoo on her foot. The artist claimed that it was photographed when she first got it and she constantly has to have it re-inked. Federal Hill has a lifetime guarantee on their ink and will re-ink your tattoo for free if it fades. However, that does not apply to foot tattoos. I was a nervous to get my tattoo in the first place and now I was second guessing going through with it. The artist told me he would do the tattoo if I really wanted him to, but he would prefer it if I got it somewhere else on my body. He also said he understood if I didn't want to get it at all, he just wanted to tell me the truth. My friend and I were impressed with his integrity and decided to go inside and think things over. The studio was clean, professional and inviting. Right away, I decided I wanted the stars on my hip. I had the artist draw stars, first on paper, then on my hip with a Sharpie. He had in mind a big tattoo with two inch stars but that wasn't what I wanted at all. I'm petite and wanted smaller stars and for the tattoo to only show if I was wearing a bikini. I made him wipe his drawing off, redraw it again and again, then I would run half dressed to the mirror to inspect if I liked the design. He was extraordinarily patient with me and made sure the final drawing was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we agreed on the design and size of the tattoo. I had ten stars drawn in an arch, the largest resting on my hip bone. He also suggested dots in between which looked fantastic. The actual tattoo only took eleven minutes and didn't really hurt. The artist was professional, had a great sense of humor and now I have an amazing tattoo!

I got my second tattoo here last Sunday. I went in on Saturday to make an appointment with my…read morefriend. Since her tattoo was considerably larger than mine and we wanted to get them together, we had to make our appointment for Sunday at 5pm. I went in knowing exactly what I wanted - a very simple word in a very simple font just below my right clavicle. At first I thought I wanted all lowercase letters, and when Mike drew it up, we both agreed that it looked kinda silly - I was glad he felt comfortable sharing his opinion. He did a great job with executing the fine lines of the lettering. The tattoo was finished in about 5 minutes and although their minimum charge is $60, Mike let me have it for $50 (the price of the deposit). My friend got her state flag tattooed on the side of her hip - about 3x4 inches, in color. It looks INCREDIBLE. Furthermore, it's the Maryland flag, a really, really complicated design - I was so impressed. My only complaint is the music... I friggin hate hardcore. Definitely going back for my next tattoo!
