I first heard of Fidelity tattoo in 2018 when I first heard of ear curation and was looking for a…read moreplace I. Baltimroe, and have been wanting to come here. I brought my friend for her second lobe piercing. First of all the place is adorable - it's women owned and the jewelry is designed by the owner - Ashley. The gold ones are pure gold which helps justify the $150 for one piece. The only piercer is now Sydney and she was lovely. I didn't get my ears pierced but my friend who did had a great experience. They are part of the Association of American Piercers. I believe it's $75 for the piercing which is higher than I expected but things have gotten so expensive with the pandemic. They do ask for a tip upon payment. They will map dots and get your placement right. They offer saline for sale. I had a great time helping my friend get her piercing. Honestly would buy plants here. They had a green Keurig and snacks. You need to make an appointment - no walk ins!

I needed a new helix stud and navel ring, so I looked up a shop and Fidelity is up the road. I'm…read moreglad I checked their site and social media because it is appointment only, which I appreciate. I was able to make an appointment that day with Dan. Checking in was a breeze and Dan was very nice. We were both masked and sanitized hands when I came in after he let me in. I came in for jewelry but got so much knowledge that I've never gotten before and some amazing piercing care. The atmosphere in Fidelity is fantastic, plants everywhere and music is great. It's a neat little spot in Middle River. I enjoy knowing that their jewelry is North American sourced so it is quality. I learned things about jewelry and after care I'd never known and I've had one of my piercings for a decade now. I will definitely be back for more jewelry but also future piercings because of the vibe and the kindness shown while I was there. Knowing about the sterilization process is a big thing that they emphasize and it made me even comfortable being told what was happening every step of the way. You're paying for quality customer service, service, and jewelry here.

If your kid is under 18, you'll need your ID, child's birth certificate as well as a photo ID for your child (if they have one...she's 17 so we used her learners permit). The whole shop is immaculate, all staff super friendly start to finish. George did her piercing and he was fantastic and made the experience a lot of fun, explained everything he was doing and provided very detailed aftercare instructions. We will definitely be back! Updating to say we've now been back several more times...my daughter got her first tattoo here and then went back for a helix piercing. Both excellent experiences, same as our first visit. George did her helix piercing (this was several years ago now...we were sad to hear he had since passed away). I was in a few weeks ago to get a nostril piercing for myself (Dec 2023). Shop is still bright and clean and Kim did a great job with my piercing and made me feel very comfortable during the process. I am planning to go back for a few new piercings for my ears soon.

I got my lip pierced here, and it was awful. Not only did I get an infection because the stud was…read moretoo short, but the piercer also upcharged me with a larger gauge. I had to go to a different shop to get a longer stud because it was embedded in my lip, which led to the infection. At this other shop, they were appalled that Triple Crown gave me a 14-gauge 8mm stud for the healing period, informing me they had likely upcharged me for the gauge size. The piercer also did not tell me a lot about the healing process; she only handed me their booklet on it, telling me to keep it clean. Not worth the money, which was about $80 for the service and stud. If you want to get your ears pierced, that is fine, but do not come here for facial piercings.

What a great experience. I wanted to get a ring piercing in my top left ear and needed to get a…read morerepiercing for my right faux rook. I called to see if they had any openings and was surprised that they had openings the same day. When I arrived, parking was easy, registration was easy, and payment was straightforward. The gentleman at the desk was kind enough walk me through their process. I really appreciated that the jewelry was included with the cost of the piercing. The jewelry is not fancy; but definitely does the job and is cute. They use the basic jewelry to allow the piercing to heal which can take up to 6 months. After that time, you can switch out your piercings. Alecia was my piercer. I highly recommend requesting her. She is gentle, knowledgeable, and talks you through the process. Our consultation was longer than the piercings themselves. Lol. She was quick. I would definitely return to Best of Times for my piercing needs moving forward.

NEVER have I EVER heard of this practice at any other tattoo shop, especially one THAT PIERCES CHILDREN!!!!! It's totally fine, though, as I found a much nicer, cleaner shop in Ellicott City.

And they spent way too much time helping me pick the perfect piercing. And honestly, I've had a few piercings in the last few years and they've all gotten infected or had some issues but not this one. They are perfectly perfect here. So thorough. And clean. Dean was amazing. Dean's eyes are something else entirely (piercing blue), but also the other piercing aka skillllllz. I barely felt my helix being done. I can't wait to come back and get my next one. Yelp was right to lead me here. I am happy to add to their 5 star reviews. Thank you, Ceremony.

We left the shop with an expertly applied piercing and an in-depth app understanding of after care and the healing process. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing!
