Nice little shop in the middle of nowhere. I lived in Salisbury for a couple of years, and…read morehonestly it is the armpit of Maryland. At best it is a stopover for those running late for Ocean City. I guess it is a college town as well. Surprisingly, there is a small faction of social outcasts that turned up in Salisbury and man what a group of cool people they are. They do things like piercing and tattooing and partying...They are exactly what the Bible thumpers on DelMarVa need, people to bring this this left behind part of the US in to the modern age. Crucial Tattoo had just finished remodeling when I had moved there, so I couldn't tell you what the old one was like. The shop takes up two units of the building they are in. The front of the house has the standard sampling of the artists tattoo's, magazines for inspiration, really comfortable couches just in case you have to wait for your artist to get to you, fashionable clothing for people who like tattoo's, and body jewelry. One of the cases has some old masks that came from the orient, which are awesome...it is too bad they aren't for sale. That back of the house is where all the magic happens. There is a room for piercing, and a few chairs for tattooing. Everything is clean. All the artists use disinfecting cleaner, gloves, and autoclaves. Usually the artist and the customer are the only people allowed in the back. Once in awhile the owners like to have special days for frequent and favorite customers. Usually a small selection of appetizers and finger food and a good amount of socializing...plus good deals on tattoo's by talented artists. I highly recommend Casey O and Erik from personal experience.

If you are looking for a new tattoo or piercing, Crybaby tattoo on Main St in Salisbury Maryland is…read morethe place to go. Peach and her stuff have created a positive, inclusive, and hygienic environment that makes everyone feel safe and welcome. I've had three tattoos done here - one by Peach (rainbow ballons), and two by Sierra (magic words, cat broom moon). All three came out beautiful. I was especially pleased with the detail Seirra did in the Cat on a broom looking at the moon tattoo. But both ladies have a very light touch and I had little to no pain both during and after the tattoo. My daughter also had her ear lobes pierced by Bridgette and it was super easy. Bridgette was patient and reassuring and Dani has had no problems with infection and very little pain. Thank you Crybaby!! I'll be back for more.

Well today 2 weeks later we show up at 10:50 AM for our 11AM and after waiting there the boss(manager) said Julian is not here on sundays because he never misses church and wanted proof that someone called my wife/when they called/and what they said like damn really so we just lie na and after about 25 minutes we were still sitting in the lobby waiting on a update and guess what NO Updates from this professional staff so my wife approaches the little girl(that's how she acts light skin girl that dresses like a tomboy for reference with a beanie on) and said we will just leave and she said ok. This was not a good experience and explains the other reviews please do your research and be prepared to be unappreciated.

Got an eyebrow piercing and two lobe piercings done here by drew and sam respectively, i had to…read moretake out the eyebrow piercing because it was pierced too shallow and started rejecting, and my one of my lobes was pierced crooked. went to another piercer today to get my eyebrow taken out and they told me it was done with low quality externally threaded jewelry which is not correct. they also had too switch out my lobe to a flat back of better quality. my other lobe fell out and closed due to the type of jewelry. overall don't come here unless you want to waste your money and risk your health.
