I have an old piercing that I needed new jewelry for but I wasn't sure what size I needed. I reached out to Westminster Tattoo Company and they got me scheduled for the same day! Everyone I interacted with from the front desk to other employees were so nice and friendly. The piercer Ethan was kind and got me taken care of in a jiffy. I'm definitely going to be coming back here for both future piercing and tattoo needs. Bonus! The shop also doubles as a really cool museum of oddities and they have all sorts of interesting things for sale. Check this place out just for that alone. read more

I've gone to Westminster tattoo company for a few tattoos and piercings now. I really couldn't recommend a better place to anyone. Their shop is run by two women, something I love to support and find important. Being someone who is a clean freak, I can genuinely say that this shop is kept spotless. The times that I've gone, I am always welcomed and helped immediately with any inquiries I might have. I got my first tattoo from Beth and then my second one from Matt. Both were very knowledgeable in guiding me through the process of placement for my tattoo, as well the design of it. The piercings I got were easy and painless. No complications and heeled very nicely. Over all, my experience has been a pleasant one and I look forward to my next visit for some more ink and jewelry. If you are looking for a great place to go for a tattoo and piercing, definitely go here!!! read more

Highly recommend! My daughter, 15, came for her second earlobe piercing with Tony. There was an issue with the piercing (not Tony's fault; just a placement issue my daughter didn't realize until we got home and changed her earrings.) we called the shop immediately, they had her heal for a week and brought us back in for Tony to correct the issue, no questions asked. Every person in the shop was kind and friendly. The shop was SPOTLESS and the gentleman at the front desk was spraying down and cleaning the area after each client. Super impressed!! read more

My daughter and I were in Frederick and she wanted a new piercing. Everything nearby was closed and we ended up at Westminster Tattoo. We've now been coming here for close to a year and everyone has been nothing but extremely friendly and professional. We drive 90 minutes each way just to come to this shop! That should tell you something... read more

Amazing and all around a great experience. The shop is so cool and clean. I would definitely recommend this place and Tony! I've been traveling to Frederick for my piercings but I will definitely be coming back to Westminster Tattoo Co. for the rest of them. Tony was so nice, professional and a great piercer. Walked me through the process, sanitized the jewelry/the area well, made sure I liked the placement and told me to breath. He was so great I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a piercing. The other staff were also so friendly and accommodating too! So glad Westminster has a great piercing place. read more

I went in on 4/1/23 to my piercing appointment with Maria Mylnikov. I had scheduled a nose piercing and nipple piercings and was very excited about the experience. The nose piercing was quick and dirty, no issues. The nipple piercing is where I have major issues. Maria was friendly overall, seemed knowledgeable. She kept mentioning how she had a botched nipple piercing experience herself and how she is really careful to do them the right way on her clients so no one has to experience what she experienced. She marked the spots on my nipples while I was sitting up which I think is normal (according to YouTube....). My left nipple has some inversion, and SHE told me she saw that right away, but said she would still be able to pierce, no problem. She pierced me and with the left one I tried to describe a burning sensation, and she brushed that off. I had some swelling and pain later that day with both which I expected. In the days and weeks after, the swelling and pain never let up. In fact in addition to the soreness, the balls on both ends of the barbells started embedding into the piercing holes several times a day. Every few hours I had to push them out and deal with the pain and the scabbing and bleeding. Also as the weeks went on it became clearer to me that the left piercing went through my areola on one breast! I went in to see Maria about my concerns and she told me everything looked fine ("cute", even) and I should try different bras to lift things up so there wasn't so much weight on the piercings as they healed. She also said she could try curved bars if things didn't change. I decided to get a second opinion from another professional piercer. They immediately looked at both and recommended I take them out immediately because the locations of the piercings were incorrect and not through the nipples. They were through my areoles (significantly on the left side and partially on the right). I was told that if left as is, they would never really be able to heal without the constant embedding. I am very disappointed by my experience with Maria. I would've really appreciated her saying she made an honest mistake with the placement and I could've decided what to do from there. I'm now left with scars that really hurt my self esteem. The whole point of this piercing was a fun confidence boost, but unfortunately I didn't get that. Unfortunately I do not recommend Maria for nipple piercings. read more

My daughter wanted an industrial piercing for her 15th birthday. She and I made a date out of it since I've always wanted a nasal piercing. The requirements for a minor piercing was very clear on the website and explained on the phone. When we arrived the check in process was amazing since we are still in a pandemic. The shop is beautiful and clean and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Anthony was our piercer and he was amazing! He walked both of us through the process and took his time. Everything was relaxed and neither one of us were nervous or regretted anything. We are a week out now and both piercings are healing wonderfully and he even checked on us the same night to see how we were doing. I recommend this facility and Anthony 100% and we will certainly be back again!! read more

Fantastic experience! My daughter wanted her second piercing and to be honest, I'm was not thrilled with the idea of getting them done at the mall so I decided to take her to Westminster Tattoo Company. I was a lot more comfortable with an establishment who "specialized" in piercing. They were extremely welcoming and it was a clean and professional atmosphere. Despite a little glitch in this mom not reading through what was needed to have a minor pierced (if they are 12+ they need a photo ID along with the birth certificate...my fault), it was a great experience. Liv was wonderful. She was extremely attentive and took her time to make sure everything was done right! Not rushed at all! For any moms or dads out there, skip the mall and take them here! So glad I did! read more

Wish i could give a 0. They were so rude. I went in for him to fix a piercing that had been put in wrong. He insisted I needed a new hoop for my nose when i wanted to keep the same one. He then continued to put a gauge into my nose piercing that was too big and made me bleed. Then I asked for my original nose hoop back and he gave me one that was too big and not my original one. I can say it's not the original confidently, because it is a different gauge. I kept insisting that i just needed the original one swapped in my nose because the stopper was on the wrong side and he insisted i need a new hoop even thought that's not what i wanted. If u were thinking about going here, save ur time and go somewhere else. read more

I had my eyelash extensions done by Liv this afternoon and I will definitely be a regular customer. She was very nice, the shop is clean and the decor is cool and quirky, and my eyelashes look fabulous! If you are in the market for a tattoo, the artists books showcase tremendous talent and they were friendly as well. read more

Beth Kennedy has been tattooing me for almost 20 years so I was beyond thrilled when she opened her own shop. I feel like her work speaks for itself but let's just say she's very talented and I judge all tattoos against her work! The space is gorgeous, welcoming and professional. You can tell a lot of thought was put into creating a modern and open feel. Free and ample parking! Check out the surrounding businesses while you're there.... I stopped in last week to have some body jewelry changed out and get a new piercing. The young lady at the front desk was attentive and had me checked in super fast- the electronic consent forms etc were really convenient! Liv the piercer was amazing and the jewelry swap and piercing were virtually painless. The piercing space was private and comfortable. Highly recommend Westminster Tattoo Company!!! read more

Artist at this shop did my tattoo in color after we agreed it would be grey scale verbally and by text and email. Messed up precious tattoo in the process too. Refused further discussion on the matter. I'm currently getting laser removal treatment, which is very painful and expensive. Advice: watch the entire time and don't face away even if the artist tells you too. read more
