Best prices in town, no doubt! My roommate and I searched for about 30 mins looking for a place that wouldn't butt rape us on a price and came up with Capital Tattoo in Silver Spring. The staff, Tom and Meatwad, were very welcoming and did their best to accomodate us. Tom, who did our piercings, was extremely knowlegeble and schooled us big time on proper care. I've been pierced 19 times and still managed to learn something new. These guys are awesome at what they do no doubt and I will be back!
-Very pleased customer

Was a walk-in, wanted some additional ink to an existing tattoo. Receptionist was professional and friendly, Nick the tattoo artist whipped up the sketch quickly and was attentive to what I was seeking. Was out of there fast and with a nice touch to my existing tattoo. 5 stars and recommending Nick.

Man, let me tell you something. Capitol Tattoos are the absolute BEST!! The people who work there are so nice, friendly & really funny. The artist have crazy skills & I love my new tattoo. My man Mark aka Meatwad took care of me. Dude is really really good. The whole time when he was doing my tatt we were just hanging around, laughing, cracking jokes just kicking it, I felt like I was at home. Mark & Thomas are some funny characters man LOL. I'm so glad I decided to go to them because they made my 2nd experience there fun & something I won't forget. They also have reasonable prices so if anyone wants a tattoo I would recommend that you go to Capitol Tattoo and ask for Meatwad. I'm DEFINITELY going back for my next tatt.

Their state of the art equipment, top notch clean tattoo and piercing techniques, atmosphere and cool staff will keep u coming back time and time again. Check em out!!!!

Both tattoos I've gotten in the past year have been from Capitol Tattoo. Mark is very funny and easy to get along with and the tattoos he provides are very well done. I plan on getting future tattoos here.

Such an amazing staff at Capitol. Get my tattoo done by Marco because he's an amazing artist. He has patience, his work is fantastic and funny as heck😆.

Very upset with my experience, I was tattooed by an older artist, Doc is his name I believe. Read the rave reviews and decided to get my third tattoo here, but left extremely unsatisfied for several reasons: 1. My tattoo is of the DC flag, a very simple design (three stars and two stripes). The stripes of the flag are totally crooked. The stars are disproportionate and misshapen, although the artist used a stencil. The artist in fact did not even finish the coloration and design of the flag on the part of my arm that it is harder for me to see. My friend got a similar tattoo, and this was similarly terrible. Uneven lines, etc. I believed this was because it was his first tattoo and thought he might have just been moving around a lot, but I was wrong. Both of our tattoos undoubtedly need to have corrections made to them, but in no way am I even considering returning to Capitol Tattoo, as I cannot express how infuriated I am by my experience there. 2. I paid $240 for this tattoo. In total the flag may be four inches long and three inches high. I decided to spring for it because I believe you get what you pay for, but in no way did I get what I paid for.
I don't understand how I this happened. The artist (Doc) said that he has been tattooing for 40 years, and indeed had news articles posted in his shop about him tattooing when he was much younger. I don't understand how you can totally botch such a simple design, or why the reviews for this place are so positive. Two huge thumbs down.

The best tattoo shop in the Silver Spring area, no question. They were very helpful & provided me and my friend with some of the best service I've ever had. I will DEF be coming back here for more work! Nick is someone I would request!
