Reviews of No Sleep Art & Tattoo Studio (Tattoo Shop)

T T

I went to this shop on 1/08/2019 and consulted with the owner named Chriz about a simplistic tattoo. Chriz informed me he could do the tattoo and he quoted me a price and scheduled me for the appointment the following day. on 01/09/2019 when I arrived for my appointment the owner greeted me but someone else came out who he introduced me to and he informed me they would be performing the tattoo. When I arrived in the shop no other customers were present and they were not busy at all. I consulted with the new artist about what I wanted and he said he would need 20-30 minutes to perform a sketch. While I didn’t care about waiting I was already noticing things could get shaky. The events that started to unfold was not consistent with the original plan that was addressed 24 hours prior. I was informed by the owner the sketch of what I wanted would already be completed and he would be executing this mission. When the new artist returned from his room he showed me a nice sketch but he quoted me a price that was 50 dollars more than the original price quote I received from the owner 24 hours prior. I would also like to add that the tattoo looked a little smaller than what I originally wanted. I opted not to get my tattoo done here because When I brought this to his attention the new artist didn’t say anything and when I inquired about a military discount he said no because the whole area is military or related. I respect everyone and how they conduct their business however to me this was totally outrageous. I feel given the current state of affairs I can’t spend my money with an establishment that doesn’t stand by their original statements or acknowledge when a issue has taken place and try to correct the problem. My issue has nothing to do with discounts it was just the principle and how things unfolded out of order. I did have enough money to get the tattoo but the miscommunication about prices and who was doing the work was not professional in my opinion.

Cheryl McCombs

I went to this shop after searching the internet to find a good Piercer and read nothing but good things... I went there and Lauren was so nice and easy to talk to. I went in to get both of ears pierced (conch) and she did an awesome job and I would definitely recommend her if you are looking to get a piercing. Lauren is very knowledgable and answers any questions you may have. The facility was very clean and the staff seemed super nice. Highly recommend this place.

I couldn't be happier with Chris and Jason they did a great job for me and my fiancé, the place is very clean and nice, if you want to get a good tattoo go this shop these guys are great!!!

Chen Zhang

Horrible consumer service. DO NOT GIVE them any deposit. Once you set up a appointment, you better wish nothing major happens that prevents you from calling to reschedule because if you don’t then your deposit is gone. I set up a late appointment and I was with my wife at the doctor and by the time I had signal, it was way after closing. Told them right when they open the next day but was told if I want to reschedule then I would need to give another deposit. I find it hard to believe anybody would give another $50 to reschedule with this tattoo shop. Take your money somewhere else.

JIM TILLMAN

Today I got a tattoo done by Jason. Awesome work. His skill in tattooing is one of best that I've seen. I have 3 previous tattoos done by other guys. He puts them to shame. This was my last tattoo at 50 but if I was going to get another he's my guy. Thanks Jason

Justin Lee

Cool shop, great artists. Highly recommended

Jackie Hagemeister

I got a tattoo on my ribs in April 2017. It was medium size. I was very happy with the tattoo and that parlor. Everything was clean and professionally done. And I know tattooing ribs can be hard,so I'm happy mine came out well. The only thing was there was a line where some of the ink leaked out of place. I had gone back after 6 months to talk to the tattoo artist about it and he said that is still healing and not to worry about it. Unfortunately it's still the same as it was when it was healing. But otherwise good place for a tattoo

Greg Robinson

Danny is fantastic, the resulting tattoo far exceeded expectations, and he made me feel like a friend when I was there. Honestly, can't wait to go back for the next one.

Carrie M

I can't say enough good things about this place. Chriz is a really talented tattoo artist and absolutely everyone I've met there is great. The place is decorated well and very clean. I'm pysched that it's just down the street from me, but it's absolutely worth the drive if you're looking for a quality place with great artists.

Matt Webb

Got Tatted by Danny. Did a fantastic job. Added the perfect touch. He knows what he is doing. Great Job!!

Sebastian Vinueza

I want to thank Danny for the time and effort he put on my tattoo, he match exactly what I was looking for and much much better, the environment and crew are hilarious, nice ambient and professionalism, I can't wait to come back again for my next project, thx to Cris as well for all the answers I was looking for

Jessica Conley

Amazing work!!!

Kristen Steschner

Reiko did my brows using the microblading technique and they look amazing. Her technique is flawless and looks incredibly natural, you would never be be to tell unless you are told that it is not all my own brows . I rarely wear makeup and love being able to walk out of the house still feeling put together with no effort. I absolutely recommend Reiko and brow microblading!

Klair Rice

I have been getting tattooed by Danny and Chriz for years now and besides their amazing tattoo skills they are amazing people and always very professional. This studio is super clean, bright, friendly and open. Amazing artwork is displayed everywhere! I have to say I have always had good experiences with them and this studio.

sophia conteh

Danny is awesome, everyone is kind and i’m so pleased with the service that was provided. Would recommend a million times over.

Joe Daughton

Had an amazing tattoo experience with this shop. Chriz did a big badass tattoo on me. He took really good care of me and brought life to a tattoo i wanted for years in a way i couldnt imagine. He knows his stuff and knew exactly what i was looking for. Danny, the other artist i met here, does really awesome work aswell. Definitely come check these guys out. You wont regret it!

Timothy Lutter

Fantastic place. Laid back and chill atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, and Chriz knocked my tattoo outta the ball park. I was VERY impressed.

Mekdes Gemechu

This is the place I get my pricing and they are so nice and good costumes service even tho I work in costumes service!!!!! And here I’m about to get my tattoo there which is I can’t wait what they can show me what they can do!!!!!! I’m to extend

Angela Shannel

When i walk in, I was welcomed every time! Chriz has tattooed me twice already & he never disappoints. He listens to what I want & is patient with me. This shop is very clean & friendly. I will deff be coming back here again!

Amy Phucas

Chris has done every single tattoo on me! I have 7 and they are not small. He is very patient! I’m super picky. Now I completely trust him. I let him do whatever he wants! He knows me well now!

Samuel Delgado

No Sleep Art & Tattoo is located on Ziggy lane by the train tracks. A quaint area but a very cool shop. Once you enter the shop, it is a very chill and clean environment. There is a nice hangout and waiting area equipped with snacks and a tv. You are welcome to read any of the art books or browse the art and tattoo portfolios, which is quite nice. The artwork and design of the studio itself is nice. I highly recommend Danny for any traditional, stippling, or any bold creative design. He custom draws any design you may have in mind. Chriz is extremely friendly and does great work as well. I have quite a few tattoos from Chriz and will continue to do so. He is really good at realism and stays up to date to contemporary & modern tattoo design, which is great when you don't know exactly what you might be looking forward. I can't say much about piercing but they do offer any type of piercing. Highly recommend.

Inspire_Greatness74

I have been tattooed by Chriz & Danny. Both have done exceptional work. The studio is extremely clean and very inviting. The staff are very friendly & knowledgable in tattoo. Thank you guys for providing excellent work. I get a lot of awesome tattoo comments from people. Thanks again guys. I highly RECOMMEND No Sleep Art & Body Modification.

Rebe Brown

Lauren pierced my daughter's nose. She was very friendly and took her time (step by step). Another artist sat and talked to me while I waited. We will be back.

Sawyer S

Got a tragus piercing and the experience was pleasant. Jason was very courteous and professional.

Sisilo Sikhakhane

Love it! Very professional. Will be foing back for more tattoos.

Peter Folan

This studio was co-founded by my favorite local artist. Clean, nice place with real artists with extensive skills. They can both ink in awesome detail AND still get a great deal done in half the time as other places, ntm at very fair prices compared to elsewhere! Highly recommended for their creativity and resourcefulness for pieces with any level of custom work, including ones in which you know exactly what you want!

John Besrat

I had an a wonderful experience with Chris. Very nice guy easy to get along with, and an amazing artist.

Robin Parrish

Everyone was very kind and helped my friend who was getting her first tattoo. Pricing was reasonable with two 5 inch lines of a quote it was a smooth $120 for her rib tattoo. Tip well because they deserve it!

Renee Broxton

Anastasia Valouiski

Pleasant service, good people, VERY sanitary conditions!

Chana Collins

Very clean place N the staff is very professional.

Jenny Armour

I have been tattooed by most of the local tattoo shops, and No Sleep is my absolute go-to. Danny has been tattooing me and my family for years, and I am never disappointed in his ability to turn an idea to art on a body canvas. Jason has pierced me multiple times as well- I love him! He's knowlegable and has a good eye for his work. Prices are more than fair and worth the work. I always recommend no sleep to others, and I am set on my artists!

Lynda Sullenberger

I had one ugly tattoo on my back and came in for a cover up. I came in for a consultation and was met by Chris. I showed him the mess on my back and asked him if he could fix it. I've seen some of his work and knew he was capable but I had no idea just HOW good he really is. My original was so bad, I wouldn't wear a tank top and when I did, people offered to fix it for me. Today....this tattoo, the color, the new lines, the detail, EVERYTHING is so AMAZING, I cried when I saw it... I was there for 4 hours and felt no pain - Chris knows what he's doing... The shop: these guys are great! I met Lauren and Danny who were so cool, so nice, so friendly and also very good at what they do. Shop was clean, neat, organized and I left feeling like I knew these guys for a long time... Do yourself a favor and stop searching - go here...

Zach Williams

My experience was great and the staff was really knowledgeable about tattoos. If your looking to get a tattoo I'd recommend No Sleep Art

Matthew M

Staff was friendly, my tattoo looks dope. and was given easy instructions on what to do for the healing process. artist looked out for me as opposed to just being in it for the money.

Rebeca Arevalo

How much for a small tattoo

Dartonio Reveley

Chris was suppose to do a half sleeve on my right arm. I described what I wanted in great detail. He said he would draw up something and send it to me and see if I liked it. Weeks go by and I hear nothing so I called him and he said " I got you I didn't forget you" so I'm like ok. A a couple weeks later I show up at the shop and he says the same thing. My appointment is in 4 days. So I show up for my appointment and not only did he not draw up anything but he got 5 different prints from off google and told me to pick one . None of which was what I described to him. I reminded him what I wanted and he said "it might be best if I go somewhere else and anyone would jump to get any of those tattoos" in complete disbelief I said ok and left the store with the money I put down as a deposit. I'm a sales manager and have been in customer service for over 10 years and this is completely unacceptable. Very disappointed and I'm going to make sure everyone knows my experience here!

Saxon Lore

Just very disappointed.

Maxine valdez

I have nothing but positive things to say about this shop I messages Reiko Onuma on Facebook and she responded very quickly and professionally and answered all my questions about getting my eyebrows micro bladed, I made my apt and the procedure was almost painless and she made sure the shape was what I wanted before we started she carefully drew them on even better then I draw on my own eye brows! She made me feel so comfortable and I absolutely love my eye brows I get so many complements honestly they look so natural and full.

Geneva BHD

I love my tattoo so much. It's everything I envisioned. Not only does Chris give you his honest critique but he'll help you make the design your own! He's great! It's exactly as I imagined. His Instagram is @chriz_tattoos

Carter Bolch

Good art. However messed up the design of my first tattoo ever. Never really had the nerve to say that though. Still looks nice though. My problem is the ignorance they have towards lgbt. Danny decided to blurt out “there’s only two” meaning two genders which even if he was joking, just really through me off. I prefer a place that’s not ignorant. Artwork is good however and place is very clean and neat. Overall I just go there for the art. Not the hospitality. Lauren is great piercer though!! did my snakebites, and eyebrow. No complaints on that one.

Catherisa Apostol

Great place to get my first tattoos done. Chriz was very helpful and helped keep me calm during my session. I didn't get super complicated, or detailed tattoos, so I did not get to see his full artistic potential, however his portfolio is very impressive. The place is very clean and sanitary. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be going back if I ever want another tattoo done.

Robert Newberg

Went in for piercings on both my ears. Staff was super nice and piercing was quick and almost painless. Definitely enjoyed my visit and if I ever get any more piercings I will for sure return.

Shay Richardson

Very clean place that did very good work on my friend's arm. As soon as I get settled, this will probably be the place that I go to to get some more done. They pierce too. :)

Keléla Canady

Absolutely the best artists in Gaithersburg!! True professionals. The best part is they are honest. If it won't look good or not their style they will let you know and suggest options. That is the most comforting feeling to have in an artist... mostly cause it will be on your body for life. I get stopped on the regular because the work Danny and Chriz do stops people in their tracks. I've become a loyal customer!!!

Stephanie Terry

Very nice and clean! Very talented artist! 100% satisfied with the outcome of my tatoo. Going back for more!

Sydney Williams

I've gotten my belly button pierced and my first tattoo here. Jason did a fantastic job. Service is great, the people are friendly. Definitely coming back for any future tattoos.

Perla Romero

I Got my first tattoo here by an Amazing tattoo artist name Chris . He did a great job on my tattoo and I loved it . The shop was clean and the environment was comfortable . Will come back again if I'm in the area (: !

Melea Baker

Very happy with my walk-in tattoo visit. Chriz is an amazing artist & recommend him to all!

Ana Fredlund

Happy with my experience, Chriz did a great job, nice guy.
