Couldn't ask for a better group of artists. I was in La Plata, from out of town, and they got me in the same afternoon

A great experience. The tattoo artist was talented and VERY professional. I loved the overall vibe of the shop - making a strong connection between the art of tattoo and the art shows hanging in the gallery. Shop 53 makes folks new to piercing and tattoos feel relaxed and welcome.

What a great shop! I went for 3 sessions spanning about 3 months. Everyone there was always very polite and professional. The shop is very clean and laid out nicely. Special shout out to my girl Kim!! She did an amazing job on my tattoo!! I’ll be coming back and telling everyone about her and the shop.

Awesome little gem in Charles county. The owners/ artists are amazing and they support other local artists by showcasing/selling their work. This shop is full of talent!!!

I love Mona at Shop 53. She has done two of my tattoos (one watercolor) and one of my piercings and I have been exceptionally happy with them all. I highly recommend her and the studio as a whole. They sell a lot of awesome art as well.

Joe Miller

Such an Awesome place! Professional, upscale, and friendly! Perfect place for for your first, or next, tattoo!

Chris Pflieger

Best shop in Maryland!

Kelly Phipps

Cool, fun, inclusive place with friendly staff. Art exhibits have a broad-based appeal -- food, bugs, and pop culture themes come to mind -- and feature artists from the local area and beyond. Not an art fan (wall-mounted or body-worn)? Grab an exclusive Shop53 t-shirt, or pins for...wherever you wear pins. Shop53 is the gem of awesome you're hunting for in downtown La Plata.

Danny

Love it here!

Victoria

Wonderful shop and great experience! Everyone here is so polite and helpful. I love that they are not your typical tattoo shop with the same ole generic tattoo pictures hanging on the walls for you to choose from. I came in here after going to one of those tattoo shops with a bunch of tattoo books and pictures on the wall. When I approached one of the workers and described my vision for what I wanted done his response was " You can pick something you like off of the wall over there". That was a big no for me. I saw shop 53 online and I figured I would check it out. I immediately loved the vibe. I was able to look at the artists portfolios and decide which artist I wanted to talk with about the work I wanted done. I ended up choosing Mona and I have had two sessions with her so far. She has done a wonderful job and I cannot wait until my tattoo is complete.
