    This is the double nose poop
    Lillia D.

    I requested a double nose hoop because I saw it on Instagram and thought it was really cute so I asked them to get it which they did and it looks better than ever I appreciate them going out of their way and doing that I would recommend going here because the piercer is really nice and understanding

    Daith piercing 6 months later, by John

    I haven't posted this yet when I first got it pierced, cuz I wanted to show you the daith piercing with the hoop jewelry in it. I got it done in November by John and this healed very well. Yeah! It was so painful, but John made me feel comfortable getting this piercing and I will definitely be back for an industrial and a conch piercing. I definitely recommend this place for piercings!

    After searching for a tattoo artist I came across Ray Ce from Hold Steady Tattoo. I messaged him and he responded quick and he asked me to come in so we could talk about the tattoo I wanted. I wanted a tattoo of my pets on my arm. I had sent it to a few other tattoo artists and all of them did not seem to want to do it. Ray Ce was all game and loved the idea. I booked my appointment for the next week (which is unheard of during COVID times) and put down a 40$ deposit. I gave him some information on what I wanted in the tattoo and let him create it. He messaged me the next week with the sketch of the tattoo. It was absolutely amazing. You could tell he put a lot of effort into it and is a very talented artist. He explained that he made an entire other sketch and decided to redo the entire thing just because he didn't love it. That is the kind of stuff I love to hear from a tattoo artist. My appointment day rolled around and I came in and had a great conversation with one of the other workers while I was waiting about how much we love crocs. Ray Ce came out and then we went to his room and started. He printed out the stencil and was very precise and wanted everything to be perfect. We started tattooing and we had great conversation. The tattoo was painful don't get me wrong but Ray Ce made it as easy and tolerable as possible. He was very quick too. For my arm piece which is relatively big it only took about 4 hours and the work is high quality and very detailed. Thank you Ray Ce!

    I could not be happier with the tattoo I got from Dennis Cooper at Hold Steady Tattoo! Dennis made sure the placement was perfect. When I said it was good, he knew it could be better, and did a second outline. He was right, it was better! Great conversation the entire time, lots of cool art on the walls, and good music, made what should have been a nerve racking experience enjoyable. The session was quick and affordable (can't say painless ). After, Dennis gave me complete instructions on how to care for my tattoo. I'll definitely go back to Dennis for my next one.

    John was able to fix my nose piercing that was messed up by another shop, and it healed great the second time around.

    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!
