Ashley Kurth

Got a piece done on my thigh and I couldn't be happier with it, Ashleigh does amazing work! Fidelity has a friendly atmosphere, clean shop, and helpful staff. Definitely coming back here for the rest of my tattoos, these guys know their stuff.

Ashley Saville

My best friend and I have been working up an idea for a tattoo we were very excited about getting from Fidelity. We took the time to research which shops had the best artists, and when we came across Allisin's work, we were absolutely stoked to work with her because her work is beautiful and she seemed very sweet when we first met her. When we got to our first appointment, there wasn't really anything amazing drawn up. It was just a basic flower, which was fine seeing as we thought we would sit down with her and talk through detail. Instead of sitting down with us to trying and figure something out, she told us that she would like to take some more time to rethink the idea and that we should schedule and an appointment for another time. I won't lie...my friend and I were very disappointed, but at the same time, we totally understood where she was coming from. She didn't want to feel rushed and that's more than understandable. There was some miscommunication between us...that happens. No big deal. We rescheduled the appointment for late March (after having waited since before Christmas). We come to the appointment totally stoked to see what she had conjured up since we both have high respects for her work. When she showed us the final product, we were less than amazed as to what she had come up with. It looked like she had drawn it up the night before and slopped some watercolor behind it. At this point, my friend and I were more than irritated. Between the first visit (having almost nothing and not being willing to sit down with us and draw something) and the final visit, we have had a really bad experience. Seeing the pickle all of us were in I asked, "Okay, what can we do?" Meaning, what can we do to talk through this idea and how can we both be happy at the end of the day with this piece. Instead of trying to work through this, she was the quickest to say that we should get our work from another artist in the shop or go somewhere else. This pissed me off for a number of reasons. First off, she had us for the whole day (or so that's what we were told when we booked the appointment). So you're telling me even though we had an entire day to talk through this and find a solution, either she didn't have the time she promised us OR she was too bothered by us that she didn't want to do the piece anymore (or at all). Leading to my next point. It seemed as though she didn't care about our piece, which is very heart breaking. As an artist, (which I am as well, just in a different field of art) don't you WANT people to purchase your art? Whether it be a painting, tattoo, album, performance, etc? Doesn't making art make you proud? As an artist, you WANT people to say good things about your work and what you do. But when you give your audience a bad experience...that definitely makes them feel a certain way about what you do and who you are as a person. My friend and I left the shop feeling that she didn't care at all about a piece that means so much to our friendship. We obviously asked Allisin to design our tattoo for a reason...because she does great work. BUT at the end of the day, she didn't show us anything we were happy with, which is not the biggest issue here. We understand that sometimes it just doesn't work out. But when it feels as though there is no effort behind her work when it came to us...that's just downright disappointing. She made us feel that she didn't care about us and our vision, and that really sucks. Sorry to say it, but I would not recommend going to this shop at all. I'm not sure what the other artists' are like, but the impression we got from Allisin alone was not good.

I have worked with Allisin twice now and she does not disappoint! I have a total of 4 tattoos at this point and I am by no means an expert but in a crowd of artists who can sometimes provide not the most amazing work Allisin truly shines. She takes a lot of time and effort into each piece she draws out and I couldn't be happier with the work she has done for me. My first two tattoos were done by a different artist and I would say they are ok but I am always quick to show off the work she has given me. Not only in the great designs she provides but also on the execution. In our conversations during our sessions you can just tell that this is truly a passion for Allisin and that she really does want to take care of you and all that you want to get out of your tattoo. As an artist in a separate medium (video production) I can truly see the care she has for not just her work but for her clients as well. With each new piece she puts forth a new level of effort and creativity. I can not recommend an artist any more than I can Allisin. It stinks that she will be moving so soon out of Baltimore and with that I can honestly say we are losing an incredible talent at least for the time being. The best part about working with Allisin is that not only do I have someone that I can trust to give me a great tattoo but also someone that I can call a friend after only working with her a few times and that is amazing! Not only Allisin but the entire staff at Fidelity Tattoo are great too. Everyone there knows what they are doing and they will not sacrifice quality to provide a cheap and less than stellar final product. They know what they are talking about and in order to keep you safe they will always recommend the best ways to go about piercings and tattoos. I have a lot of respect for a company that will cut through the BS in order to give you a great final product. Overall I say thanks to everyone there and I highly recommend them!

Lexi A

nice but a little expensive

Crystal Marie Gray

So I called looking for a septum ring to match an outfit and the woman who answered the phone was super rude and hung up on me twice. They have lost my business and I'll be sure to let others know how rude and unprofessional they are. When I called back a second time to let her know I wasn't even done asking about the rest of their jewelry she didnt even apologize for hanging up and was still pretty rude. I'll let all my Veteran friends in this area know that this is not only how they treat people, but how they treated a Veteran. Great job guys!

Carol DeNeufville

My daughter got her ears pierced here one week ago, I was very impressed with the way the staff explained everything, helped my daughter feel at ease and safe, and the skill with which they performed the procedure, and their care with hygiene. I've also never seen the kind of earrings my daughter has in her ears, they have a flat piece on the back so the post doesn't dig into your head! Very high-quality earrings. And metal. My daughter has had no pain or any discomfort since the procedure! Thank you Fidelity!!!!! ♥️ this has been quite an education for me and I'm so so grateful that we chose this instead of the usual piercing places in the mall...

ronitajobes27

I love this place! Everyone is so friendly!

Deona wingfield

Thank you. Jayne For doing my sons first Ink ..We will be back everyone Jayne is the best ..Get your Ink right here at Fidelity . .

Tommy J

I sat in there studio for 45 min and never got any help or got to speak to a artist and ended up leaving so my experience was not a great first impression.

Amber Cavanagh

Out of all the tattoo/piercings studios I have been too, THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST!!! The staff is so friendly and helpful!! Had my septum pierced, healing great and the jewelry selection is out of this world!!

Alexis Bryk-Lucy

Excellent piercing selection and top notch staff!

The ForeignAccent

got my first tatto there and it was great

Silver Hiker

Got my best friend's nose pierced tonight by, Sydney. Everything was awesome. Clean, friendly beyond belief, educational and patient. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience and my best friend is in love with her very first piercing outside of regular ear piercing. My past experiences with Fidelity are why I brought her here. Now, this is where she's coming for more body modifications as well. Thank you guys so much for being such amazing professionals. We came in about 2 months late to get her a new nose ring. She settled on an anodized star. Sydney switched it out and took a look at the piercing and how its healed. Its healed up well and the new jewelry looks awesome. Sydney is awesome. If you want someone who truly cares about your piercing and the health, go see Sydney.

Ashleigh Pharr covered up my first tattoo which I got on a whim on the day I turned 18. Now I love looking at my arm with this cover up and I get so many compliments on how pretty it is, whereas on the original tattoo people told me "it doesn't look that bad". I plan on getting my arm sleeved by her. Update 1/27/17: I went in to get another tattoo by Ashleigh which turned out beautiful and to get my tongue re-pierced by Dan. I have had my tongue pierced before for about 3 years but took it out 2 years ago and wanted it redone. I had believed that the piercing had closed up because I couldn't get jewelry though it but Dan was completely honest with me and told me it was still open and inserted the jewelry and stretched the piercing out to its normal size. He only charged me for the jewelry. I so appreciate his honesty instead of pretending it was closed and charging me extra and will recommend him to anybody for their piercing and jewelry needs.

Lydia Truitt

Clean, professional, great artists - I'll definitely be back for my next piece!

Spiede Wolf

The staff was very friendly and the service was legit. I went to Fidelity on my birthday to get my septum pierced and didn't realize that you're suppose to make an appointment. They let me slid and saw me after about 10 minutes of waiting. The guy who did my piercing was professional and told me a bunch of information. It only hurt for a few seconds and then we were done! I had minimal swelling and the piercing is straight! It was beautifully done and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend this place for piercings and will definitely be coming back <3

David Miranda

Great work !!! Ashley is the best !!!

Jennifer Keller

Got my nose pierced here, super amazing staff and it healed so well! Thanks!

Kendall Maliszewski

Love this place!!! Very professional but friendly and welcoming at the same time. I've gotten many piercings at many different locations but none top this place! If you are thinking about a piercing book an appointment with Dan!!

Kaitlin Titemore

I got my tattoo done by Ashleigh and I could not have picked a better artist! She took my idea and made it come to life. I was here for about 4 sessions and the shop and entire staff are professional and experienced. I highly recommend these artists for all tattoos and piercings.

holly lednum

I got my first, second and soon to be third tattoo here, and the customer service is amazing! They really make you feel welcomed and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable here. Jayne did my tattoos and she is an amazing artist and super friendly! I absolutely 100% recommend you visit this shop if given the chance.

James Hudson

Very professional, friendly and most of all highly knowledgable. Solid well done work for a very reasonable price.

Kendra Weaver

Quick, relatively painless, and affordable! Jayne was awesome!

Brian Sporrer

When you walk in you know the vibe is good! Emily did a great job...

Koda Brax

Great tattoo artists! I have been to two different artists there and thought both were very talented. I especially like that they both have a degree in art.( I'm sorry I cant remember the specific degree title) It proves that they are serious about their line of work/art and put in the effort and time to learn and grow. Everybody seems friendly and inviting as well.

Mike R

Took my girlfriend here to get her belly button pierced. It was a great experience! The atmosphere is nice, the staff are very friendly, and Daniel is one of the best. Great guy, very knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend this place for piercings. You'll get your money's worth.

Adam Lippa

The friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all of my questions before I even asked them. They are fantastic!

Jameson Mcglaughlin

Great overall experience! One of the least painful tattoos I've ever gotten and I can definitely see why there's a waiting list to get into this place!

Joseph Sweeney

Clean shop. Jayne is a great new artist in the Baltimore area. Ashleigh is a legend. Although I haven't been pierced there, there is a piercer there who has a great reputation.

Annette Jones

Love Emily great work

robin dauses

Awesome service

Satinder Dhillon

Very clean and very professional. Great staff. And Daniel is hands down the best person to get a piercing from. His jewelry is amazing too. Just picked up a new set of earrings.

Kay Thompson

Dan is amazing! Very knowledgeable

Arica Stockett

Amazing place. Everyone there was very friendly and accommodating. Dan took the time to show us all the different piercing options. He never rushed us or made us feel like he was annoyed with all the questions and indecisiveness. If you are looking to get pierced or are in the market for new hardware I highly recommend Fidelity. It is clean and inviting. Some other places can make you feel uncomfortable and not welcomed. This was not the case here! I will be back and probably more than I should.

Jackie Taylor

Smooth and easy booking process with friendly correspondence! Store was welcoming, clean, professional, and aesthetic. Artist, Emily, was personable and professional. Lovely shop!!

Faith Erline

This place is a total gem; I've been meaning to pop in and check it out after driving by for months. So glad I did! Dan switched out the jewelry on three of my piercings. He and the other staff members were super knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, and helped me choose pieces that look awesome together. I can't wait to come back for a tattoo and/or another piercing!

Cashous Carroll

Valerie is a wonderful human being. Very knowledgeable on piercing stuff.

Denise B.

Ashlei is amazing!!

brittany davis

I got two tattoos there. I loved my experience there. I was greeted warmly and offered water, everyone was nice, and my tattoos came out really cute. A lot of shops are unfriendly and unwelcoming especially to women and people of color but FTC is not like that at all and I only hate that Middle River is such a trek from Catonsville.

BryceSudweeks

Everyone at the shop is very helpful and the place looks great on the inside! When it comes to body modification those are the 2 most important things to me. Highly recommended!

Bri Lee

My piercing experience here was wonderful. I love my Medusa. The jewelry is good quality. I knew I was in skilled hands. Definitely coming back.

Cameron Galatsianos

I had a tattoo done by Ashleigh, which by some miracle not only has held up well but didn't even itch while healing. I've also had piercings done here (I'm entirely spacing on the name but it was the male piercer) and I'm 100% happy with both the piercing and the jewelry I have purchased here

Amanda Starr

I highly recommend anyone who wants a piercing to come here and have Daniel hook you up. He's professional, has an amazing eye for design and anatomy, and is exceptional with his knowledge and customer service. Thank you for making my face more lovely!!

Kayla Vermillion

I've been pierced here twice. First my cartilage, and then my daith. Amazing place

Jen Franz

Very knowledgeable and beautiful jewelry

Sved Nor

The place is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The piercer(Dan) was very skilled and worked hard to make keep my girlfriend at ease while listening and helping her find wear she wanted her new jewelry. The actual piercing was pretty quick and very clean. 10/10 would definitely recommend to a friend

Chris Pierre

Worst tattoo I ever got by Tony Insley who works at this shop....the tattoo looked nothing like I described it to be . It had no shading no.straight lines ... It looked like I was in a basement of some awful tattoo party and a rookie was doing my work.in the dark. I never expected to get a professional tattoo and for it to look horrible. Please if you can avoid getting a tattoo by him . You will regret it in the future.

David Yarborough

This is the only place i get my tattoos now. Ashley is my main tattooist. Everyone is great here. Emma will greet you with here great smile. This place is clean, bright, and newly renovated. You will love it here.

Sunshine Taylor

Phenomenal experience! Dan is a piercing magician! I have ventured across the DMV to several shops and Fidelity Tattoo by far has been the best experience. It was super easy to schedule an appointment. I drove 2 hrs with high hopes to correct a few botched piercing jobs and to get a new piercing. Dan definitely made the commute worthwhile. His expertise and patience deserves 10 stars! Definitely the best service I have received.

Samantha Cecilia

This is my go to shop since I’ve found them. The atmosphere is very welcoming and professional, the artists are talented and their work is clean. I’ve gotten tattooed by both Emily and Jayne and both ladies have been wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. I recommend this shop to everyone!

Kyona Trusty

Awesome professional staff great selection of jewelry for piercings

Krista McCullough

I love this place, and just can't say enough good things about it. It is a very clean, professional and modern shop. My husband and I started going here for piercing and jewelry services early this year. The fine jewelry selection is out of this world! Sydney is my go to girl for piercing. She is extremely knowledgeable about her craft, makes you feel at home and comfortable & is wonderful explaining the whole piercing process from start, to finish, to aftercare. I've also been tattooed here by Jayne. She is a phenomenal artist! She is a dilligent & precise tattoo artist, but quick with a lighter touch than some other artists I've worked with. I HIGHLY recommend going to Fidelity Tattoo Co to make all your body mod dreams come true!

Karen Hall

I love this place and the people that work there. My girl, Emily has done great tattoos for me and I am getting ready to get my next one. This place is more than 5 stars!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amy Thomas

I have never had a bad experience at Fidelity! Dan is ALWAYS helpful when it comes to piercings or just a general question about a possible future piercing. I have gotten 2 tattoos by Allisin and I was more than stoked to see the drawing and to see the final product on my skin. Everybody there is so friendly and I feel like I can talk to any of the employees like they are good friends of mine. I highly recommend Fidelity Tattoo Company to anybody and everybody who is looking to get a tattoo or a piercing or even for general questions! I will never go anywhere else for tattoos or piercings.

John Beebe

Great place with knowledgeable staff who are very helpful. A bit of of the way, but worth the drive.

Rita Davenport

I absolutely love Fidelity! I've gotten piercings back when it was called Sins and I think the new improvements are great. Ashleigh has done 3 out of my 4 tattoos and I love them. Not to mention, everyone in the shop is friendly and great people to be around! I've had three family member get their tattoos here with me and we all love it. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting tattoos or piercings!

Shawanda Edgar

Very down to earth and still very nice and professional place. Everyone was awesome!

Dennis Brown

Great people great place

Lacy Marie

Amazing staff! Every time I come they are welcoming and ready to answer any and all questions. I’ve recommend this shop to two friends and both were pleased with their experiences as well. This location has some of the best jewelry around, and they keep the shop clean. Everyone who’s visited the shop has an an easy time healing. If issues arise the staff always ensure comfort and share their knowledge on proper aftercare. LOVE THEM.

Robert Mitchell

Great artists, friendly, and definitely worth it

Janrose Veras

This place was amazing Ashleigh did my tattoo today and she was extremely professional and accommodating. The place is clean and comfortable. I am beyond happy with the result of my tattoo and will recommend this place to anyone looking for a tattoo. Thanks Ashleigh

Tattoo by Jayne! Highly recommended, love this place! Everyone's so chill, they have a broad selection of different jewelry for body piercings and gorgeous ornate gauges and dangling earrings for gauges. I'm sure this isn't my last piece

Don McMullen
