Tattooed Heart Studios

Just finished my third project with Tattoed Heart. First one at the new location and first one with Andrea. Both impressed the hell out of me. New facility is clean and has an awesome vibe. Andrea as a tattoo artist was incredible. I need to stress the artist part of her title. I sent her a very basic pic from a google image search and she was able to pull out exactly what I wanted and create something unique that I love. Andrea was very prompt in getting back to me and is just awesome to spend time with. Can’t recomend the shop or her strongly enough. I won’t be going anywhere else, and look forward to future work! 🤘

I just got my first large tattoo from John. I flew into Maryland for my tattoo. John was great with corresponding via email. He alway got back to me very quickly and answered all my questions. His studio is also a quick cab ride from the BWI airport. Uber was about $16 dollars to get there. Super cheap and easy!

I cannot say enough about my experience. His shop is by far the nicest studio I’ve been in. It’s a mix of a spa and art gallery feel. Everything In this shop is high end, clean, and beautiful. John made me feel very welcomed and relaxed. Chill musics, candels, and a ton of natural lighting. His studio is also private and you need an appointment to get in. Which made the experience much more comfortable.

My tattoo experience was just as wonderful. John made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He took breaks when I needed. There was a few points that I almost couldn’t have fell asleep! I was so relaxed and comfortable. I’m going to have a hard time going anywhere else for a tattoo. John set the bar so high. When we finished up he bandaged me up to make traveling with a new tattoo very easy! I’m still in the healing phase, but so far I absolutely love how my tattoo looks! I can’t wait to see it when it’s completely healed.

I would highly recommend going to John. His work is very recognizable and he’s an expert in his craft. Check out his work on his website and instagram! If John fits your style, make the tip out there and enjoy a one of a kind tattoo experience!!

I had a custom piece designed based on a photo of my father. Owner/Artist John Garancheski had a thorough, detailed consultation with me and was very in-tune with what I was looking for. When I came in for my appointment, the work he had done was exactly what I had in mind. John took his time to make sure the work was perfect. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The studio is incredibly clean and a very comfortable place to get your work done. The end result was a very special piece that exceeded my expectations. They are true artists and true professionals. I will definitely return to Tattooed Heart Studio for ANY and ALL work in the future, and am looking forward to the upcoming opening of an Annapolis location. Thanks Again, John, you nailed it!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I stumbled upon THS while researching for my third piece. Being new to the area at the time I simply searched "best tattoo shops in MD." Every time THS was at the top. I reached out to Amy and got the process started. All I gave her to work with was "I want a great white shark." That's it. She turned that into an amazingly beautiful half sleeve. To say she went above and beyond my expectations would be the understatement of the century. From start to finish she was the best. She was more excited for my piece than I was! The passion she has for her art is beautiful and contagious. Spending 20 hours over 3 sessions with someone is a lot, but she made the time fly and there was never a dull moment. We talked tattoos, life, philosophy, listened to music, comedians, ordered pizza. It was like chilling with a lifelong friend. And it's not just Amy, the entire staff from John (the owner) to their newest apprentice are all welcoming and chill as hell. They'll pop in and chat, share stories, laugh and help pass the time. My piece gets so much recognition on a daily basis and never ceases to get an "oh my God" or two. I'm always asked where I got it and I'm more than happy to send people to THS. So save yourself some time and don't Google "best tattoo shop in MD." You've found. Amy, you're awesome!

I went in to get a tattoo with Amy and she took my general concept and ideas, ran with it, and turned it into a truly legitimate piece of artwork! Amy and the entire staff were professional, personable, and very passionate about the work that they do and it made my first tattoo experience comfortable and memorable. This joint comes highly recommended if you want to get some unique and personal artwork on your body. A++

The shop it self is so cool! Display cases filled of all the artists works to check out, and friendly staff it's a fun place in itself. Andrea is a super lovely person! Super sweet and just great to chat with while she's doing an AMAZING job inkin' ya up. She's super gentle, knows how to distract you through the tougher parts, and the end product is stunning. I can't wait to get many more pieces from her!

My entire experience was amazing! The entire artist staff was very kind. I was at ease during the entire process; consultation to completing the last bit of shading. For someone whom has neurotic features, this is vitally important so that I enjoy the entire process. Andrea did an amazing job of listening to my vague wants/ prompts and translating it into the beautiful ouroboros and roses.
You can get a snack during and after the tattoo, always a win.

I could not be happier with my visit to Tattooed Heart Studios. The studio itself was clean and inviting, the administrative process simplistic, and the customer service top notch. My artist (Paul Natale) was nothing short of a consummate professional. Artwork aside, Paul is an awesome guy with an epic sense of humor. My endorsement of this studio and the artists who work there (with a special emphasis on Paul) could not possibly be any more positive.

Over the last year, I've been working with Amy on a sleeve. From the get go, I was hooked. She and I clicked, she created an amazing design and we were off. What she's given me is without a doubt the best tattoo I have. And it's a lot more than just ink, it's an experience.

This place isn't your average tattoo shop. No flash art here. If you're looking for amazing, custom work and top notch artists, you've come to the right place. This place has spoiled me. I now know what a great tattoo is and will definitely be coming back for more.

My artist was Amy Nicholls. She emailed back and forth with me to discuss my sketch before I came in, and was extremely supportive and thoughtful with her design! She was super friendly and fun, allowing me to pick something to watch on Netflix to distract from the pain. Ironically, it hardly hurt! She has a light touch and a calming fun vibe. Her work is IMPECCABLE. She is a true artist with a passion for tattooing. The prices are well worth the art - no feeling of overcharge at all. The studio was clean, friendly, and comfortable. I can't wait to go back, and I will definitely recommend the studio - and especially Amy - to everybody!!!
