The best shop in town for tattoos. Most of the artists here specialize in traditional tattoos (besides Chuan, who makes some of the best fine line stuff I've seen). Prices are fair, the shop is fun. read more

Came in as a walk in for my very first tattoo. I was treated well by both the person working at the front and the artist Brady. It was my first time so I had a lot of rookie questions but they were there to guide me and gave me any advise. The tattoo turned out better than what I was expecting it. Overall it was good, pleasing experience. Thank you! read more

I've never been so thankful and satisfied. Walked in not expecting anything. Walked out with a permanent stamp that already brings comfort and gives me a grin and a little belly laugh... Matt, ya did a great job buddy. I can't stop grinnin' thinking of my old man when I look at your work. You all were such kind souls and really enjoyed and appreciated ya'll. I know my father would've been tickled over his handwriting tattooed on me, I can hear his laugh now. I will surely be back for more! ALL the best to the whole Orange gang, Annie Moore Important side note** I was one of those last minute walk-in knuckle heads tonight Spur of the moment. Immediately said "I'll make an appointment." Jake said, "I can get ya in tomorrow" I responded, "no can do, my show is releasing new episodes tomorrow." Jake didn't flinch, didn't ask questions, and made it happen. Never asked about scheduling for another day! I was taken back by his kindness, I know he had to be done and wanted to go home. I never write reviews either. These are good people and artists read more

Got my first tattoo here, I didn't catch the guy behind the counters name but he was super helpful and was able to get me an appointment with Bryan, the tattoo artist and he was able to get me in and out in minutes. The quality is great and I have had no issues with the tattoo. The vibe of the shop was super laid back and it was fun to see all the designs on the walls. read more

I have gotten several tattoos here for over 12 years. This crew knows what they are doing and always demonstrates respect, consideration, and professionalism. They listen well and add input from their decades of experience - ensuring you walk out with a tattoo that will hold up to the test of time. Their shop is relaxed, welcoming, clean, and fun to be around. Make a wise decision and make an appointment with the guys at Orange! read more

The guys at Orange Tattoo are amazing.Have gotten many tattoo's there ,Brady Duncan is very professional and makes the experience of tattooing very easy.Would highly recommend this company. read more

Excited!!! Wanted a tattoo since my engagement. Randomly in Annapolis doing a Pilates class and driving to get lunch I yelp tattoo places in the local area. Orange tattoo has great reviews so we stopped in to see and thankfully they were able to take us. I hadn't had a tattoo in a while and I forgot that a good artist can be pricey even for a small piece. Overall the tattoos came out great and I love that two artist did them because you see that two artist tackle the same design differently. Thank you!!! read more

Love this place! Jake responds almost immediately and is so personable! Joe is great and was so patient even though I know I did not make it easy! I'm even going back for more! xo read more

My sister and I went to get our first tattoos here and had heard good things about the shop from other people, so we were anxious and excited to see if those claims were true. We discussed our ideas with Walt, who was quick to criticize both of us on several aspects of the tattoos we wanted. He was very judgmental, and not forgiving about the lack of knowledge we had about tattoos. I had drawn up a sketch of the general look of the tattoo I wanted, and he repeatedly told me that the styles of the different parts of it didn't match, even though I repeatedly told him I only drew it to get the idea of the tattoo on paper. When we came back to get the actual tattoos, Walt was over 30 minutes late for our appointments because he took a walk-in before us. He did my sister's first, which turned out great, and then did mine. Both sketches looked okay, but it was easy to tell that he had done them that same day as soon as he got in, instead of when the ideas we spoke about were fresh. There were a few stray wobbly lines in the sketch up of mine, but I mistakenly thought they were from pixelation and that he would smooth them out for the actual tattoo. Nope. He literally tattooed quite a few pixelated lines onto my skin. The lines are in a dreamcatcher-like pattern, so it's extremely noticeable. Also, as I was getting tattooed, I heard him say "oops". If it was a joke, it wasn't funny. There are quite a few bad lines in the tattoo itself, which I will post a picture of. The price I paid for the tattoo was not worth the experience, and I wasn't asked to tip so I can only assume that they took the tip out themselves. I would not recommend getting tattooed by Walt, but it seems that other people have had better experiences with other artists. read more

I got my tattoo with Joe (Joe-One?) in December and loved it. As with all of my tattoos I came in with a couple pictures of designs or ideas I want. I walked in close to closing time so there wasn't time for the tattoo, but he had an opening that worked for me 2 days later; he even had his own drawing based on my ideas in that short amount of time! Everything was clean and comfortable. He was gentle but I think I also got it in a less painful place (arm) than some of my other tattoos. The price was right for the quality of the tattoo and it still looks great 6 or 7 months later. I only like it more as time goes on. I recently stopped by to bounce a couple ideas off of Joe for another tattoo. The idea i had wasn't going to look good in a few years as the lines bled, unless we did it bigger, and I'm glad that Joe was honest with me in how it'll look down the road rather than trying to make a quick buck. While I could've insisted that he do it small, you need to trust your artist to do what they do best- designing and tattooing tats that look great and last. I would recommend him for tattoo veterans and first timers alike. read more

Wow, super nice, great service amazing tattoos! I got a cover up done and I love it!! They were super professional and super kind. I would definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone. They were also super family friendly and told me my toddlers could come watch. They sell sodas and drinks as well so you don't have to go thirsty while you are getting hours of work done. I will be back for more. I worked with Brady and he was very flexible and creative. read more

A big shout out to Chris Berube and all of the guys at Orange Tattoo Company!! Chris has helped me revive an old sleeve project that is now almost done and looks GREAT!!! Everyone at Orange is an experienced pro with many years under their belt and they truly care about their clients. Stop on in and take a look the shop speaks for itself. I'm certain you won't be disappointed. read more

First I will say, Orange tattoo is my main joint. I come here for all my tattoo needs because the guys are well-experienced & always a pleasure to work with. I've been tattooed by Brady, Carl, & Joweone and they are all awesome. Second, I will say to all the bad yelp reviewers...if you come in expecting for them to change their entire schedule, think again. Saturdays are walk-ins, first come first serve (and the same goes for the rest of the week when they have walk-ins available). If you say one day, "Oh I think I might want a tattoo today", well then, tough luck for you. The rest of us are paying good money for the artists' time, so don't think I'm going to give up my spot for you. If you want a complicated piece, for hell's sake, make a consultation & set up an appointment! And if the piece needs to be altered so it will come out correctly, take their advice! The artists know more about tattoos than you do. If you are unsatisfied with their customer service, they will give you a coupon for Mission BBQ. So please, take it, and leave. Orange Tattoo is a Naptown treasure, and they will treat you right. Just don't be an asshole. #PissingBoobs read more

Kim did exactly what I asked of her and my tattoo came out beautiful. I highly recommend her, plus the business was very clean.

Called orange tattoo company at 6:30pm and asked if they had appointments available tonight. They said they take walk ins until 8pm. Me and my dad and a couple of other people were going to get tattoos and we get there at 7:15 and they turned us away. My dad said we would even pay double for the tattoos and for someone to stay a little bit later to complete these few small tattoos and they still said no. They were very rude. I understand that most tattoo artists are kind of dicks, but they were exceptionally above average when it comes to level of rudeness. Won't be back. They could have made $500 for 30 mins of work. Too bad. read more

Let me say this !!! Brady Duncan is extraordinary !!!! He has been my artist for the last 13 years but he has been tattooing at Orange Tattoo company for the past 8-10 years I can't quite recall , anyhow this is not your stereotypical tattoo shop! The guys here are very professional , pleasant and talented ! It's clean very open and airy ! Brady Duncan I trust this man with my skin 110 percent ! I neve question his skills! I may come with an idea he will tell me what's best for my skin, being as though he is the artist he knows what goes well with my dark brown skin ! What will look Good for years to come and not for a moment ! People constantly inquire about my tattoos and are taken back when I explain to the that they have been on my body for years with no touch ups! If you are familiar with tattooing you know saturating vibrant color on brown skin takes some skill ! I will always be a client of Brady Duncan! His chair side manners are impeccable! So are the other guys in the shop!! They are all talented ! read more

Brady is absolutely amazing. Two things to compliment Brady on: First, his personality. He is so cool and kind. I have never once felt uncomfortable during a long session. He is out going and extremely professional. He has always encouraged my ideas and makes me feel welcomed every time I walk in the shop. Secondly, his talent. He has done one of my sleeves, my back, and starting my other sleeve. I have never disliked any of his drawings that he's presented to me. He exceeds my expectations every time. The work always turns out clean and beautiful. I am very proud to recommend him to anyone who is questioning where to go. All the other guys in the shop are all so funny and fun to be around. I really enjoy going to Orange read more

Pretty disrespectful. I called to ask a simple question and was spoken to as if I was a child. Who ever answered the phone needs a lesson in how to speak to an adult. Ignorant, rude, and counter to what a place of customer service should provide read more

One of the best tattoo parlours in Maryland! Excellent collection of artists and talent. Stop in and check out the shop, it's beautiful inside! read more

I would absolutely never get a tattoo from this place! I went in there today to get a consultation on a design I had in mind and received terrible customer service. First off, the guy was a total asshole and treated me like I was some dumb 18 year old kid who never had a tattoo. I'm a grown woman and I have several tattoos. I simply asked for a tattoo behind my ear and he gives me a dry explanation that they don't tattoo people in visible places unless they have sleeves and visible tatts. WTF! Never had a shop tell me that before. I will never go here again. As a Black Woman, I didn't feel welcome there and his attitude was piss poor sorry. So rude and unprofessional. read more

Love it here, this was my first visit, but definitely not my first tattoo! I have been to 6 tattoo shops this being my 7th and this one is above all one of the best. The environment it extremely professional and welcoming. They made me feel like I was a regular! I had an unfinished piece on my leg and Walt took me right back and finished it up beautifully. The price was extremely reasonable and well worth it, we even talked about future work and how to improved current ones. I have appointment in a few weeks and can't wait. I was referred here by quite a few people that I've stop when I seen their tattoo, I am so glad I was. read more

Very clean shop! Was able to take me as a walk-in when they opened up on a Sunday. Joweone took my idea and helped me to make the decision on a great tattoo. I had my mind set on one design, but it didn't make sense for a tattoo. He did not make me feel stupid or like I was an inconvenience. I will definitely be getting my next tattoo here and hopefully will have the privilege of having Joweone as my artist. read more

Horrible experience. We went in to speak with Matt about getting several different tattoos. Each time we gave him our idea, he told us no. That he wouldn't do it. That it was a stupid idea and he wouldn't do it. I gave him idea of coins, and he told me no. That he would draw a circle with a date in the middle. My husband wanted the star-ship enterprise and he told him that a stupid idea and that he wouldn't do it. He was the worst person that I have dealt with in a very long time. Very inconsiderate read more

Went In on Saturday to get some Tattoo work redone after a less than perfect experience. I was set up with Ian and new nothing about Orange Tattoo or their artists. Ian was super cool and we talked about a bunch of stuff while they did the work. The guys were joking around the whole and I think we listened to Simple Man like 10 times in a row before everyone started going crazier than we already. Best part was the work is reasonably priced and exceptional is quality!!! I will be back sooner than Later for Ian to do more work. Thanks Guys, Great Experience all the way around read more

Everybody at the shop is an amazing artist. I only have two tattoos but they were both done here, each by a different artist. I had intended on going to the same guy (Wes), but it turns out he moved to a tattoo shop closer to his home which is reasonable and they had nothing but nice things to say about him. My first tattoo turned out awesome and it took almost no time at all. My second tattoo was done by Chris. I only had a vague idea of where I wanted it, and he helped me perfect it and I am so happy with it. Both artists were so nice and easy to talk to, I held conversations with them while I was getting tattooed to ignore the pain. The shop is always sparkling clean. I definitely plan on returning. read more

My husband's hobby is collecting tattoos and since moving to Annapolis, he wanted to add to his legs with a piece from Brady Duncan. He requested anything that would fit with the look of his other pieces and ended up getting one of his nicest works so far. We both were happy with how the shop sets up consults on getting larger pieces. It healed perfectly and we both plan on getting much more from these guys! read more

Carl did an amazing job. I came in with a good idea of what I wanted, and he made it better with his artistic eye. Thanks!

I came here because I followed one of the artists, Brady Duncan, from his former place of employment in Baltimore. I figured, once you have found someone that does good work, why risk it. He once again did an amazing job. While waiting for him to draw me up, I noticed all these celebrities on the wall, with personalized notes to the owner. The owner, whose name I forget, is the guy that tattooed the famous cross on Justin Timberlake's shoulder and the fairy on Britney Spears' lower back. Those were just a couple of famous people he tattooed. And knowing how good he was, and the fact that he hired Brady, I know this guy has high standards for his shop and I would recommend any artist there. read more

First tattoo, a half sleeve, is getting done here. People are great. They play good music in the shop too. Carl was my artist and he's extremely talented. Can't think of a complaint for this one. read more

Met a girl who had a tat from Orange so I stumbled in one day. Looked through the artwork books and thought that Eric would do the best with the tat that I wanted. I had to wait 5 weeks for his availability but it was TOTALLY worth the wait!! Eric is an awesome guy and does freegin great work! I'll go back to him for any other tats that I want. Not a single imperfection in over 2 hours of work! Orange is super clean and has a good vibe too. read more

By far the WORST place to go to, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone if you want a well detailed design. When I walked in I showed the gentlemen my design and the response given was unacceptable "In my opinion I think its a terrible design". He did give advice to do minor tweaking to it but I think he lacked the skill of being able to do it.He than said he could ask another artist if he could do it but as I waited he NEVER came back so I walked out. The design was meaningful to me in memorial of my god sister who passed away. It was my first and last time I would ever enter in such an unprofessional business. read more

I always recommend Orange to everyone who asks me about my tattoos - I've dealt with a few artists there, when my favorite left - he was replaced with someone very talented and I've been dealing with him since. I have lots more space to fill... and a few touch ups that I need - but I would recommend everyone go to Orange. You get what you pay for! They're truly NOT expensive! read more

Everyone at Orange was great! Matt was patient with me and did an awesome job helping me figure out my design and did a wonderful job executing it. Jake did a fantastic job setting up the appointment and helping with all arrangements. Everything was clean and sterile. Wonderful tattoo experience, for a reasonable price. Already had a second and brought in a referral! Would definitely go back again! read more

Go ask for Joe! I've gotten tattoos from him for about a year now and I'm so happy with them. The colors are incredible and he always gives honest advice about what you want as tattoo artists go. From color, size to detail this place is great. His prices are pretty awesome too, not the whole bs of hourly tattoo rates. The staff is always friendly and will try to work within means. read more

Amaaaaaazing experience! I would definitely recommend this place I went there to get my third tattoo. Compared to the other places I have been to in the DC and Annapolis area (which were very expensive), the prices are very fair and totally worth it since the quality of work is so good. The environment was very clean and the staff was very professional and very kind. They worked with me as far as customizing my tattoo until it was a great fit for me. My tattoo artist was Walt. He was very friendly and super caring about the perfect spot for the placement of my tattoo design. My tattoo design had alot of curvy fine lines and he did them absolutely perfect and straight. I could not have asked for a better work of art on my body. I absolutely love it! So if you are looking for a place in the Annapolis area, this would be a great spot to go to. Also as a bonus, they sell tattoo care products in a small pack ($10), cans of sodas of variety (about $1), and candy bars! read more

I've had 4 pieces done at Orange, all with Brady. I searched the area for 5 years looking at places to get my work done, and settled on Orange after seeing some stellar work on a friend and asking who their artist was. I have never regretted going to Orange to get ink done, and have never regretted the ink. The shop is clean, well lit, and has an open and inviting atmosphere, even for complete newbies like I originally was. I've looked at other places, and while there are certainly other great artists and shops out there, Orange is the best in the Baltimore/DC area in my opinion. Last time I was there (which admittedly was over a year ago), walk-ins were Saturday only, and appointments were necessary any other time, though their facebook page will post when an artist has an open availability for a walk-in on a day-to-day basis read more

Incredibly talented artists, great atmosphere, friendly staff, great prices. I really feel like I got an incredible piece of art. Brady did a large black and gray piece for me with such skill and speed. I like that he is not afraid to make suggestions to customers based on his artistic experience. He is especially attentive to the shape of the body, how the image will come out in certain areas, and what will best capture your vision on the body. Best to let him take artistic license on your ideas. He made some suggestions to my vision that produced incredible results. Again, incredible talent and very friendly, helpful staff. I'll be getting another tattoo here soon. Highly recommended! read more

Terrible experience! ive been to many tattoo shops where ive experienced way better customer service. Shop looked cool and clean. I went to Ian for my tattoo and he seemed pretty cool until he started raising the price. I agreed on him saying 400-500 for the tattoo. which still was very steep to pay for the tattoo i wanted but i was excited. First he does one part of the tattoo (with the colors of his choice) and tells me i have to come back to get it finished. MY ARM BROKE OUT. BUMPS ALL OVER THE NEW TATTOO. i came back for him to finish the tattoo not thinking that it costs more for work he didnt finish on his own. they charged me $500 the first time. when i came back the second time it was $160. the second time he told me that he would not finish the bottom of the tattoo because of the bumps that he caused. it took about two months to go back a THIRD time. the third time he argued with me and stated how he did not want to finish my tattoo. and i am very unsatisfied with a tattoo that is overpayed for and him being inconsiderate about work thats on MY BODY!! In his argument with me he stated how "this is not somebodies basement that you get tattoos out of" all because he could not speak up at simply let me know that i must keep paying for him to finish his work. read more

Had my first tattoo done by Carl today. Small wrist tattoo, was a great experience! Showed him a picture of what I kind of liked, he drew his own and I loved it! read more
