I've gotten a tattoo by John and a piercing by Sarah, both were great experiences! I accidentally unscrewed the backing of my new forward helix, and Sarah helped me put it back in. Everyone I've met there so far has been super friendly and helpful.

Brilliant shop. Got my first tattoo done by Cyrus, who was very keen to get a unique look for my tattoo, and I am glad to say it turned out amazing. Very clean, and very much up to standard! I highly recommend Crucial to anyone. Brian is also a really nice guy!

Do not waste your money. Very rude employees. Put a deposit down for a future appointment 2 months out. I called two weeks before my appointment because I have to travel. They are keeping the deposit. Not a place you can trust.

Cyrus is gifted

Just moved to the area and wanted to start my sleeve. Saw other reviews about the scheduling issue but tried it anyway. The woman was very nice answering the phone, and helpful, but honestly i don’t understand how anyone makes an appointment at this shop. They only do appointment by email.. however I’ve had no response from Greg in two weeks. I even called the shop and she said she would let him know I called about my email to him, especially since he had free time coming up. That was maybe 5 days ago. Still nothing. I understand the artists are busy but a simple reply to an email saying they’ll get back to me would be appreciated. It’s a shame because their work looks awesome and I was really trying to book something. Hopefully they can work out a better scheduling process

I just got a daith piercing. Sarah walked me right through the whole thing and she made me feel like I knew her my whole life. I will definitely be going back to see her. She is so kind and definitely caring.

Sarah did our piercings and she is fantastic! She is funny, informative and quick!

Amanda Anderson

Horrible! Went there for my first tattoo with Eric and it was amazing but trying to schedule my second tattoo this past year was a nightmare, the girl working the front desk messed up my appointment and then the artist never emailed back about tattoo info!

Bradley Quillen

Best tattoo place around!!!

Justin Eley

I haven't had a tattoo done here and have seen work they have done and the work looks good. However been here twice and the service of not even getting to talk to a artist is what upsets me they will only talk to you about what you want to get as soon as doors open and no other time

Jeffrey Haggerty

Brian is doing a cover up for me wow am I impressed with just the one session so far it's a whole new tattoo I can finally be proud of my leg peice would recommend 6/5

Josh

Got my first tattoo done today. I got a Linkin Park logo with a small script underneath. Cyrus was really cool and made a good design adjustment. Highly recommend him. Overall, a great first experience.

James Tyndall

Tattoo exactly what i wanted. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Linette Hunter

Excellent Staff and Beautiful Tatts

Best shop ever

So my sister and I wanted to get matching(ish) tattoos, it was my Christmas present to her. I don't live in Maryland, so I gave her the task of hooking us up with a good place (she already has several tattoos, so I knew I could trust her judgement). Well, I wasn't wrong, and nor was she!! Not only was everyone very friendly, the shop very clean, but our artist did a BRILLIANT job on our tattoos!! He listened to our wants and came up with a beautiful design based on what we asked for. Brian, our artist, was friendly, funny, and gentle. Honestly, I like my artist back home where I'm from, but any work needed in the future will be going back to Crucial and Brian. Thank you SO SO much for such great work and really a great time! Made our Christmas complete!!!

John Linthicum

Amazing work everyone has been very complimentary about my tattoo. Even my doctor was WOWED!

Elaine Nelson

The artist are the top of the line. It is hard to be seen or communicate with someone. I think their prices are high, but beautiful work has a a price.

Raeann Mills

I just called the shop to ask about an aprenticship and when the woman on the phone told me they already had some I tried to ask another question and she just hung up on me no warning no explanation. This shop came so highly recommended and not only was that disappointing it was just plain out right rude.

Ericka Ramos

I had a great experience. Sarah is amazing!! She put my mind at ease. She was fast, efficient and wonderful to work with. Crucial is a very clean and sterile enviornment. I am going back for my 3rd piercing tomorrow and I can't wait!! I am a breast cancer survivor and due to my wonderful prior experiences, I am going to see if they can squeeze me in so I can get a breast cancer survivor tattoo as well!! Top notch service and quality work. I highly highly recommend Crucial!!

Thomas McCready

Great experience!!! Eric Booth did an amazing job on a cover up. The 1st of 2 sessions complete and it looks amazing already.

Eric Battista

I go every few months. If you're looking for an artist to do some truly personalized work on you then you have to see Eric Booth. Everyone there is amazing.

Wendy Beall

LOVE my new tattoo! Eric did an awesome job and is very talented! I can’t wait to come back on the 20th to get it finished!!

Elvis Bivens

Because my spot to get my tattoo done

Hasan Delice

worts customer service ever i call the store the set up an appointment the first thing she says she got 12 min lol sad your not the only place to get a tattoo in maryland.

Alyssa Quintavalle

Do they tattoo 16 year olds with parent consent? if so, how much would it be on average for two tattoos?

Notorious Gamers

The staff here are very welcoming and make sure you feel comfortable with getting a tattoo. Some of the artists are a bit pricey but their work is astonishing.

I expected more communication and customer service; I really looked forward to working with Greg because his work looked amazing. I paid my deposit thru the shop and he stated the week he'd be available to do my piece but he never showed up or said why. I emailed him directly multiple times to no avail and then I called the shop but they said I'd just need to email him again being they aren't responsible because he agreed to tattoo me outside the shop. Weeks would go by without a reply. Now I can't reach him at all. Now I'm without the tattoo, my deposit, or an explanation. I feel deceived and disregarded. I caught a L. ------------------------------ Dear Owner: I know what I said was accurate, I have a detailed email thread to prove it. I don't have time nor care to argue with you being you clearly don't know how to talk to customers and resolve conflict. My review stays. Thanks!

Amazing quality, and exceptional service. I've had many piercings done before (including a dermal and belly button) and I was really nervous for my smiley. Sarah was patient and incredible with both my friend and I. I can't thank her enough for her quick and efficient work and reassurance. The piercing didn't hurt at all! Thank you!!!

Micki James

Allie Hager

Carole Smith

Tracy Messick

Jessica Soto

Great artist but i would have to say Greg is my favorite ive been getting work done frm him for years.

Marcus Mckenzie

It's was great Eric is good.

Niyah collick

Got my first tattoo here and they did a very good job. They made me feel at home

Michelle Parran

Greg is the best

Nick Hawkins

A good, clean, virtuous tattoo shop, but if you choose this one, DO NOT get Cyrus as your artist. He is pessimistic and unfriendly as a person, and his artwork is mediocre at best. Other than him, a wonderful studio to pick.

Love my tattoo
