Time Bomb Tattoos & Curiosities

I moved to this area not too long ago and I was looking for a skilled artist for a while before stepping foot in time bomb tattoo. The staff was very friendly, explained everything well and their scheduling process is very up to speed with text notifications and email reminders, loved it! Not to mention, Jesse, my artist, who was super professional! He took the time to listen to what I wanted and made my vision come true in color. He even sent me detailed videos with my design and explained his thoughts on each part. I loved that that too! Further, when I came to my appointment, I was part of the process all the way. We picked the right colors together, my opinion was included in all the decision making and Jesse took his time to listen to my every concern patiently. The tattoo took longer (6 hrs) than we bought anticipated, but I am so glad I hung in there. It turned out beautiful and it’s the most beautiful piece of art that covers my body this far. Despite the long time tattooing Jesse was patient and friendly and was really invested in seeing my vision through. I would highly recommend this studio and this artist as I felt right at home with this crew and the service was exceptional!

Literally best experience for getting my nose pierced. My best friend and I did it together. Entire thing start to finish took less than 1hr. The girl up front took the time to explain the different jewelry and help us pick it out, then Christie was fun, chill and took the time to listen to our long term goal of wearing hoop jewelry and making sure when they pierced the hole would be in the right placement. Shop was clean, staff friendly, 10/10 will be coming back for jewelry change/future piercings!

My experience with Jesse Mine from start to finish was outstanding. He is friendly, very knowledgeable and very artistic. I gave him some ideas of what I wanted and he helped guide me through the process and came up with a great design. My tattoo is outstanding and I love it. Jesse is great and I highly recommend him.

This was my first time at Time Bomb, and I had an amazing experience! Chris was so accommodating and patiently helped me personalize exactly what I wanted. The tattoo came out even better than the reference photo that I showed him. Loved the vibe of the whole shop and everyone was so friendly :)

Since moving to Frederick, they've become my go-to parlor for tattoos and piercings. Most recently, John gave me the tattoo of my dreams. I couldn't be happier with it! The staff is always super welcoming and friendly. They're efficient, personable and incredibly talented.

I have gotten multiple piercings here and each and every time they are clean, kind, and helpful. I love all of the service options and jewelry and that they will change jewelry for you is an added bonus! Their scheduling is always fast and accommodating!

Time Bomb Tattoos did a wonderful job with a full back piece. Gordon was flawless in his work and also very personable and a pleasure to work with. I have worked with him on multiple occasions now, and it is completely worth the 4-hour drive for me to have such excellent and personalized service.

One of a kind gem of a studio. The oddities alone are reason enough for a visit, and the staff was very friendly, patient, and efficient. I've used their services a few times, and the most recent visit being tattoo work that was the first 12 hours of a shichibu style piece over 2 days and I am quite pleased with the quality, creativity, and amount of canvas covered in my chair time. All of the other work I've ever witnessed while there had really clean lines and perfectly worked saturation. Highly recommend the services. A truly rare find for the tri-state area.

Recently had my 5th tattoo and I can finally say I have found someone I want to go back to for my future tattoos. I had never found someone that I thought did a really amazing job and that I had just a really fun experience with...until John. He designed the tattoo with my input, did an amazing job on the tiny details, and the whole time just chatted with me like an old friend and sang along to his eclectic play list! Best tattoo experience I've had hands down ever and I will be back for my next one!

Got my first tattoo this last Valentine's day at Time Bomb Tattoos. My artist was Chris, and he helped ease my nervousness by explaining everything and being gentle. I spent several months trying to find a place that would do a small tattoo (2 inches), but no place was willing to do it for me. Finally, I decided to give them a call and submit my request. I was contacted very quickly, and my request for a small tattoo was accepted. Needless to say, my tattoo came out great and is exactly what I wanted. The whole experience was a lot of fun. I thought I would just get one tattoo, this tattoo, in my whole life, and that's it. Now I'm planning my second one, and I would definitely go back to Time Bomb Tattoos to get it done there. I would highly recommend this place.
