Read Street Tattoo Parlor

"Came in for an impromptu piece. The price was fair, the work was solid. Will likely be back."

"So today I unfortunately was scammed by someone on Instagram who portrayed themselves to be a tattoo artist. I paid a deposit and even confirmed an appointment with an individual who apparently has done this to several others. Little did the scammer know by giving me the address to this tattoo parlor they would be saving my day! Mike did an absolutely amazing job of doing everything he could to rectify this situation for me and even did this awesome tattoo for me! Please please if you are in the Baltimore area and looking to be tattooed by the best, visit Read Street Tattoo Parlor!"

"I came to Charlie and Read Street through the recommendation of a friend to get my first tattoo. I am BEYOND thankful that Charlie was the one I worked with for this! The whole process was fully collaborative and Charlie made sure that I was happy with everything at every step of the process. He never made me feel unsure or silly, and his attitude was exactly perfect to alleviate the nerves I had going in. He was personable and friendly and the 2-hour process was like hanging out with a friend... albeit with a little more ouch, haha. I just got done yesterday and am already ready for more!"

"I walked-in to get my first tattoo and the process could not have made me feel more comfortable! The people were straightforward about costs and affirmed my choices with guidance about location of the tattoo. The shop was super clean, comfortable, and peaceful. My artist was super kind and walked me through aftercare thoroughly! I'm very pleased with my first experience and hope I can come back for more tattoos in the future!"

"Read street is spectacular. Their professionalism, friendliness, and work is outstanding. Mark took his time and worked with me in personalizing the design and color scheme with me( which was important because I'm a black American). -* Tattoo is still healing"
