Very nice q1

Tattoo Charlie’s it’s a Masterpiece of Tattoo history.

Lynn Gable

Family run and operated since tattoo Charlie opened it in 1938, this tattoo parlor has a long-standing resume of successful tattooing sessions. This is where I got my first tattoos, and the tattoo artist, Daniel, made it a very comfortable experience for me. Decent prices and even better conversation, you really get the experience when you pay for your tattoo.

Best place ever for piercing. Definitely would recommend my friends to go there. Will definitely go there again for maybe more piercing and definitely for tattoo. Keep it up

Don’t think I’m ever coming back here. I don’t care how long this place has been open, the people who are hired here makes this place completely unprofessional. The bathroom is disgusting, the sink barley works, and the shop smells like cannabis. There’s only two people working in the shop whenever I come there to get something priced so there’s really no other artist to get work done by because the only artist (Dan, which so happens to be the manager as well ) has bellow standard work for being an artist. My sister seen multiple needles on the floor after getting her ears pierced for the first time, which made me apprehensive. He also messed up a tattoo on my sister (that was SIMPLISTIC) and made various parts of the tattoo un proportional. He takes forever to even set up to tattoo, and I’m pretty sure out of the two people who I’ve seen work here every time I came, there is someone who has a compelling drug habit because of some paraphernalia I’ve seen laying around there. Can’t get in touch with anyone of higher power to express my dissatisfaction to, so this is my last resort. Save yourself the hell and money and go somewhere that has better service and better sanitation.

I got a few piercings here last week and Rampage did an excellent job - I couldn’t be any happier with them. My nostril piercing is placed just right and was over in an instant without any pain (just a tiny pinching sensation), and my set of three forward helix studs are evenly spaced and look gorgeous. Also, while I usually get serious pre-piercing anxiety, Rampage was so friendly and fun that it really helped put me at ease.

One of my go to places for piercings! I took my sister as well as myself for piercing here. Danny is the BEST. I was scared to get my Christina but he talked to me n calmed me down, it was over so fast I barely felt anything. If you're looking for a place to get a piercing look no more !

I got a piercing here a few weeks ago and my piercing is very uneven. Due to the uneven amount of skin on each side of the piercing, the ball of the piercing is basically inside my body rather than the outside ....... I have to take the piercing out, heal before getting it repierced and now I've wasted money, time, and pain on this.

Excellent service

Camille Mulkey

Clean, quick and easy piercing experience. Piercer was humorous and professional . Don't let the area fool you, it's worth it.

Jonathan Bon

No more riff raff

Oh man, so today I went in for piercings. I can't say enough amazing things about Rampage during this process. I was pretty nervous when I arrived initially..however, she quickly put me at ease! Rampage is skilled in her profession and very knowledgeable. She didn't guarantee that it wouldn't hurt, but she did promise to be quick about it, lol! The entire procedure was only a little painful but it was over so quickly that I wouldn't hesitate to pierce in the future! Rampage, thanks for making this such a pleasant experience!!

Claire Taylor

So, this place is located in a very sketchy area. The shop itself is also rough around the edges. However, fear not! Rampage is awesome. She is super energetic, confident, and most importantly SKILLED. My septum piercing was quick and almost painless. The last time I got this piercing elsewhere I had a terrible experience and I was very nervous this time around, but ended up having a great experience here. Would definitely recommend! 4 stars ONLY because of the area and parking.

Joe Edwards

Great staff overall, talented artist Danny gave me exactly what I wanted and even saved me a few bucks at the same time... Will be bringing the rest of my friends and tattoos/money to this shop in the future. Found my spot in Balt.

Cassie-Marie Demme

I will admit that this place is in a sketchy part of town. You have to walk past 4 or 5 strip clubs to get there, and I'm 95% sure I saw a drug deal on the sidewalk outside (not saying it was affiliated with Tattoo Charlie's.. just the area). That being said, I chose this place because of the amazing reviews it had, and I couldn't have been happier with Danny's work. He was able to take me and my friend kind of last minute, and was really easy to work with when it came to tweaking the design to be just right. The place is also clean. Like a lot of tattoo businesses, it is cash only, so visit the ATM before you arrive.

Whitney Clements

I got my septum and left nostril pierced here today. Not only were both piercings quick and with minimal pain, but he was really nice and kept telling me jokes because I was visibly very nervous. They’re also very sanitary! I will definitely be going back again.

Aimee Hoffman

Danny was awesome! Made my friend and myself feel completely comfortable, joked the entire time, and made everything quick and painless. Two piercings, in and out in under half an hour. 10/10 highly recommend.

A simple tattoo made of only connecting lines has too many errors including a line that is barely visible. I understand when a person is squirming but even remaining still and still getting an incredibly subpar result makes me want to never return. The price was too high for such bad work and these great reviews are misleading. Please re-consider when coming here and go somewhere else.

bria sharpe

I usually don’t write posts but I was so satisfied with the service I received today that I had to give credit when due. I believe it was Danny that did my industrial piercing. He was very opening and quick to get the job done as quick and safe as possible especially since i was extremely nervous. I am in love with the piercing and would definitely go back again for another. I highly recommend.

Sisi Simon

Very professional, clean, and helpful and reasonable prices

Stan Donalds

I am so satisfied with the service

Demetria Page

I received 3 tattoo’s from there and was pleased with everyone but I intend on visiting today for a cover-up which I know I will be pleased with the outcome

ALEKHYA BUDDHAVARAPU

The best place ever! Went there twice for ear piercings. Danny is so cordial & professional. A wise man you'll find in the most unlikely of neighborhoods. Do not judge the place by its location. It's very hygienic & organized.

s m

be aware that they are cash only! although the shop is surrounded by some strip clubs in a downtown area, it's a great shop with skilled people. Danny was really nice, had a great sense of humor, and I was totally comfortable during the piercing experience (no wait at all, piercing itself was quick). also, the jewelry price IS included in the price you pay for the piercing so I feel like I got a good deal.

Ashley Evang

I am very happy with my service today. I can always rely on Rampage to give me the best piercing. I have had 5 piercing by her. I won't go to anyone else.

Sian Williams-Conover

Just got my nose pierced, but had my tongue pierced there about 12 years ago. Had my 4 month old daughter's ears pierced there because I don't trust Claire's, Walmart, etc. (I don't think they actually sanitize those ear guns) The piercing process was done before I could even blink with minimal pain. Great customer service, SUPER clean and sanitary and most of all professional. This place may be on the Block, but has the best reputation there! It's tucked in between two strip clubs so you have to look for it, but it's worth the adventure.

Hillary Ajifa

Got some ear piercings here. He’s really great and welcoming ! ☺️ The shop is near as well

Philip Jones

Tatt Matt hooked me up with the cover up!! He's getting ALL my work fro here on! Great experience!! Good People!

Chrissy Perez

I felt compelled to write a review for Danny Hopper at Tattoo Charlie’s! He is the man! If you want a professional, friendly artist doing amazing work in an incredibly cool shop, this is the place to go! The place is nostalgic! Tattoo Charlie’s is my boyfriend and I spot for tattoos and piercings!

Chastity Veasley

Mark Harris

Best tattoo artist around town!!!

Sarah Mitchell

Danny was amazing! My friend and I went in to get piercings on Father’s Day (we forgot it was a holiday) and we were in and out in less than 15 minutes! Danny was hilarious and attentive to our needs, did an incredible, professional job. I’d give him 10 stars if I could! Thanks man!

Charles Stewart

I received my first tat here. 35 years later it still looks great. Awesome color details perfect. Great place for a tattoo

James Mcneil

This spot is dope! I was literally in and out with my piercing. Danny’s the man! My only downfall was too many steps but if I was in better shape it would be awesome lol

Constance Dances

Tatiana Canales

Yo, Rampage is amazing! This is the second time I got my nipples done and she is a million times over my favorite piercer. She is experienced, precise and freaking overall an amazing personality.. And my Artist was quick and patient. If you want a piercing, come here.. Don't let the location fool you.

Jonathan Randolph

Awesome professionals at Charlies! Jason does some of the best tattoos; even my first tattoo of a 1/2 sleeve phoenix. Most definitely will come back here again.

AMY HYSON

Rampage did my piercings and she was so professional, quick and relatively painless! If you are nervous or hesitant she will put you at ease and is super knowledgeable about the pressure points for migraines. They even look better than I had expected. I was doing it for pain relief not fashion but it truly does look awesome!! #piercingsbyrampage

Jody Weir

This place is such a great place to come to for a tattoo!! Especially for your first! I was on a girls weekend trip this weekend and we went there for my first tattoo!! Of course like anybody I was nervous and had no clue what to expect! They made me feel so comfortable! I came in with an idea and Mike made it into a beautiful piece of art! It did not hurt at all and I was very relaxed! His lines were straight and the detail was very 3D like! You will not be disapointed here! Great experience all around! Thanks tattoo Charlie’s!!

victoria schinzel

I walked in kind of out of nowhere to get a pretty big tattoo on my back. Dan was super nice, helped me choose a good design, and he was hilarious the entire time and did SUCH a good job. Whenever I visit Baltimore again, I'll be making another visit.
