Incredible work. Real nice environment with wicked art and a killer atmosphere. Just incredible. First tattoo here and I honestly couldnt have asked for a better tattoo, piece done by Chris and he just Knocked it out of the park with the design, the color, everything. Absolutely in love. Recommend checking this place out 100%

Had ears pierced by Jasper back in August. Super smooth and easy process. Then went back to change the size of my gauge recently. Unfortunately I dont remember the name of the piercer. I know she works on Saturdays. For the most part it was smooth. Had a little hiccups with one ear due to the bar being screwed on too tight, but she was very gentle still getting it off. Both made me feel very comfortable and explained everything that they were going to do. Ill be returning here when its time for my tattoo.

I have had one piece done here so far, and I have another appointment coming up in a few weeks. The image attached is the one I have from them now, it was done by their artist Colin.These people are awesome in every way. The workers who operate their communication (email/phone/reception/etc.) are friendly, efficient, and always know what theyre doing. Colin was a super cool dude, and as you can see he is great at what he does, I was super satisfied with the results and he did a great job turning my idea into some beautiful art.I have another appointment coming up in 3 weeks with Capt. Gordon for my largest piece yet, and I am beyond excited!

I recently got a tattoo and my overall experience was quite wonderful. This was my first tattoo and my artists name was Jasmina. She answered all my questions that I had about my tattoo and really helped to make me feel comfortable as I was quite nervous. The tattoo was really pretty and I was soooo happy with the results. I could not stop smiling. Aside from that all the staff was super friendly and the vibe was great. Everything is super clean inside which is super important. I will definitely be recommending this place to others and would definitely go back!

Capt Gordon is amazing. This is my first tattoo and he made sure it captured everything I was looking for and then some. Definitely call them!!!!

My sister and I both got tattoos done by Makoto, they were professional, courteous, and meticulous. We just got lettering, but the lines were perfect and the finished tattoo was clean, and gorgeous. They even let us pick the music during our appointment, which was silly but an added bonus that made our experience a little more fun. I had a tongue piercing done a few years ago by a piercer who no longer works there, so I trusted the shop since I had no issues with that piercing. I went back recently because I had a septum piercing botched by a different shop, and Captain Gordon and the current piercer (I didn’t catch her name!) were wonderful about explaining the situation to me. They ended up removing the piercing, explaining what went wrong and how to avoid that issue in the future, and then refused to charge me for helping me out. They were reluctant to accept a tip from me, and even sent me the photos of the botched piercing they took so I could show evidence to the other shop and get my money back. I have sent anybody in the area—and anybody willing to make the trip—to this shop whenever I have the chance to talk about them. They’re absolutely fantastic!

I got my first tattoo here last weekend and I truly had the best experience! I was super nervous and my artist, Makoto, was patient and really made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They let me pick the music to play during the session which really helped and was a nice touch. She did an amazing job and I could not be happier with how the tattoo turned out! I literally have not been able to stop smiling about it since I got it. And being an anxious person, I had lots of questions about the aftercare process and the staff at Time Bomb responded quickly to my emails and were happy to answer my questions. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend Time Bomb to anyone!

Time bomb is by far my favorite place to get piercings. I’ve had 10+ piercings done here, all turn out great and exactly how I want. Both Christie and Jasper are awesome at what they do and overall are super cool people.

These artists are the absolute best! I love time bomb, nicest people and best work, absolutely amazing 10/10! I saw Jasper today for my belly piercing change and he was so kind, love them very much! ♥️

I’ve gone there three different times. The first time I got a piercing and it was pleasant. The second time I got a tattoo by a woman, started with an S, who works there. I was there twenty minutes early, but ended up waiting an hour because she didn’t notice I was there despite me checking in and being in like the entire time and decided to give the precious client a second tattoo when I was scheduled. I didn’t complain then, but then we get to the tattoo. Didn’t look anything like the picture or the stencil and ended up crooked and sloppy. I have multiple tattoos, I know how to take care of them, but this one turned out awful. Still left a tip but honestly I wouldn’t recommend the service because I have to get the tattoo covered up, which is much harder to do. Third visit because I believe in second chances, I got my ears double pierced. I have multiple piercings and know how to take care of them, but the backs fell off of the titanium earrings I bought there after I got home, and I had to go and find replacements, later the piercings got infected and are now scar tissue. All my other piercings I’ve gotten have been just fine. So 1/3 good experiences. Nice decor, nice owner, not the best place to go in town. Hopefully this helps someone. Absolutely would not get another tattoo here.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Super clean, super friendly, and just such an unique place. Every staff member is passionate about tattoos and body modification. The staff here take your safety and comfort seriously, which makes the experience so much smoother. Each artist has a personal style they excel at, but they are all incredibly talented. The lobby, a.k.a. their curiosities shop, is full of neat stuff, too!

Parrish was awesome! This was my first tattoo and he walked me through everything!!

Christie was super cool and chill! She made me feel super comfortable and safe while she was my piercer. I would recommend going to her anytime and am thinking about going back myself!

Christie was friendly, professional and her recommendations for placement were perfect. I couldn’t be happier. If you are considering piercings definitely give Christie a call.

I’m underage and I emailed them. They had very timely responses and excellent communication. They have a warm and welcoming atmosphere and made me and my parents at ease. I got Christie and she did an awesome job. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I wish I knew about this place the first time I got my ears pierced, I highly recommend this place.

Love love love my nose piercing from Christie. She was wonderful!! She really knows what she is doing!! The staff were so helpful with making sure I got the best piece of jewelry since I am sensitive to certain metals.

Really great experience! Jasper was our piercer and was quick and personable. Staff were helpful in jewelry choices and the shop had a ton to choose from.

Everyone was extremely genuine. Parrish was super kind and funny. The employees who greeted me and signed me in were very nice and helpful and helped me feel relaxed for my tattoo. Parrish did an amazing job and I’m really happy I decided to get my first tattoo here. I also got my second helix and forward helix pierced. Jasper was so nice and he helped me feel more relaxed for my piercing. He was super chill and I love the results of my piercings. I will definitely be coming back to get more tattoos and piercings. I recommend this place for everyone especially to the people who are tattoo/piercing beginners!

I had Captain Gordon do a rework of a tattoo Id had done about 10 years ago that I was never fully happy with. The tattoo in question is a Sakura tree on my right shoulder and previously, the coloration and shape were just not exactly what Ive been hoping for. Another artist at a different shop in Frederick recommended that I have the old piece lasered off and indicated that reworking the piece the way Id hoped was insurmountable. Not only did Captain Gordon assure me that this was well within his wheelhouse but he assured that this would be easy for him and I had a great experience: he is friendly, professional, and absolutely delivered on his promise! Check out the photos! 👇🌸

Went here for a jewelry change and three new piercings. Got my nose piercing changed, and 3 new ear piercings. They were so professional and safe with COVID-19. I got appointment confirmations to my email and text beforehand and they made sure everything was clean. Christie did a fantastic job with the piercing and making sure I liked everything and felt safe and was just so sweet. Overall they had great customer service and I will definitely be coming back here for future piercings/tattoos.

My experience is as a parent of a teenager who wanted an ear piercing. Everyone was very helpful in explaining what documents were necessary since my daughter is a minor.The place is very clean, smells great actually. Once it was time for the piercing, the facility was very clean and comfortable. The process of selecting the area she wanted for her ear piercing was helpful and easy for her to choose exactly what she wanted.We a great experience and we will definitely visit again. In addition to the piercings, they have talented tattoo artists (who were doing beautiful work) and as their sign states, they have many curiosities!There is a.nice selection of jewelry along with various prints and paintings for sell. If you like steam punk, they have some really neat stuff to see on the jewelry display cabinet as well.One final thought, the process for my daughters piercing and care for the new pierced ear was very clear and helpful. We learned what to expect and how to keep it clean and healthy.

OMG I so love this place. Will be going back fir my next if you go ask for John

I cannot recommend Makoto highly enough as a tattoo artist. They were amazingly efficient and meticulous and my tattoo came out looking absolutely stunning. They also have excellent taste in music :-) Thank you so much! Time Bomb was very clean and organized and I absolutely appreciated their safety protocols regarding Covid. It was an excellent experience all around!

The piercer was professional and courteous. He listened to my concerns and preference in placement of the jewelry. The office was clean and sterilized. Very interesting aesthetic. Ill definitely return for my next tattoo or piercing!

Absolutely love the navel piercing I got here!! Staff was so welcoming and kind and Christie was an amazing piercer! Would definitely recommend coming here for any piercing needs!

Super clean, very friendly! Incredible experience with everyone I interacted with and my tattoo turned out perfect! Highly, highly recommend Colin!

Absolutely an excellent experience. Very fluid vibes and great communication. Everything you say and do matters. Very careful yet quick work, but you get the immaculate quality youd hope to receive. Very fair price for the amount of work! Shout out to Colin and his kickass self! Cant wait for more!

First of all they are great, i came in and they took my temperature, they sanitized my phone, card, ID and car keys, I washed my hands and they explained everything before it happened.I got my piercings done by Christie, she was so professional and so nice! She explained everything and made me feel calm and safe because I was a little bit nervous. Overall 10/10 I would definitely come back!! :)

It was my first time here but i absolutely love Christie! She was super personable and knowledgeable about her services. I went with my friend and she made us both feel super comfortable before, during and after our piercings! 10/10 definitely recommend and we’ll be back!!

Christie is a fab piercer. She is so fun, nice, and informative. Highly recommend this place and Christie.

Received a tattoo from Makoto and was the best tattoo experience I’ve had. They were very considerate and so helpful in the process. Will definitely be coming back for future tattoos.

So clean. Great customer service.

I just recently got my nose pierced with them, and I was beyond impressed!!! I’ve had really bad experiences with other tattoo shops when it came to piercings, so I was super nervous.....Time Bomb was recommended by a friend; and I will definitely be coming back for other work! They followed COVID procedures, super clean! The gentlemen that did my piercing was super nice, explained everything he was doing, even after went over everything in detail which I really appreciated!

My friend and I went for piercings and we were really impressed with how clean everything was!! There are lots of COVID protocols in place and everyone was so friendly. Our piercer was so funny and also did a great job explaining everything for us. Were already talking about what we want to have done next!

I’ve been tattooed by Makoto and John who both made me feel so welcome and comfortable. When sí got my rook and tragus piercing I had Christie. All of the artists and piercers there create such a calm and welcoming environment.

Very clean and wonderful staff! Definitely going here for any more piercings!!! Christie made me feel comfortable and she did a awesome job!!

Had some piercings done here, and they were great! The piercer took good care of me and gave thorough aftercare instructions, as well as assuring me that everything was healing fine during a jewelry change. Everyone is friendly, and the jewelry proces are affordable. They still have some covid procedures in place, but I personally find that a good thing. Overall great people, great prices, and wild Curiosities (the giraffe head is my favorite. Howd they even get him in there??)

Jasper did an awesome job piercing my nose! I was completely nervous but excited to get it done! His demeanor and professionalism was extremely appreciated.

I was able to get an appointment on short notice and they were very friendly. My tattoo artist was Matt and he was extremely friendly, patient (because I never 100% know what I want, so I change my mind frequently), accommodating, and talented! I have gotten several tattoos from this place and I’ve never been disappointed. The place is clean and their equipment and practices appear to always be evolving and keeping up with the best. Highly recommend them!

Friendly and thorough staff. Very clean as well

Very detailed and helpful. My first tattoo and I was nervous, but Parrish was wonderful and help me with placement, color selection and how to care for my tattoo afterwards. Highly recommend - all staff was wonderful!

Christie was absolutely amazing to work with. After saving my hair from the clutches of my sunglasses, she made me feel comfortable to get my daith pierced. very clear instructions for clear and very welcoming environment. Worth the drive to frederick and i WILL be returning.

Definitely one of the best Tattoo Shops in the DMV...hands down. Good people, Awesome artists, friendly & knowledgeable counter staff ( which, by the way...is very hard to find nowadays.) Very unique atmosphere; with the collection of Oddities that Captain Gordon has on display. I know I am border-line biased being a new employee at Timebomb, but I believe I am new enough to share this honest opinion. I have worked at shops in just about every corner of this country, and TimeBomb, Captain Gordon, Miss Ava & the crew are an awesome group of human beings...I am beyond proud to be a member of the TimeBomb Family...come check us out!

I got my nose pierced by Christie. She did a wonderful job. I love it!! She was soooo sweet. She answered all of my questions and eased my fears. When I accidentally yanked on my piercing and was worried. They saw me the same day I called. Christie cleaned it and and gave me some advice on helping the swelling go down. Worked great!!

I adore this shop. Everyone is very professional and friendly. They are on top of COVID protocols. Amazing selection of jewelry and just a cool vibe. I will come back for my next tattoo. Have been here twice for piercings.

Makoto did my first (and only) tattoo. I was so nervous and he put me ease. I appreciated the way we collaborated together to make my vision into reality and how he added his professional advice along the way. The place is super clean and professional with computer equipment that made my design exactly how I wanted it. He was very clear in the aftercare instructions. Everything is super sanitized there and the environment is relaxed and not pretentious. Makoto also was very reasonable in his pricing. I couldnt have asked for a better experience! Its important to me that I can connect with the person who leaves permanent artwork on my body. Im extremely happy with my art piece. I highly recommend him!!!!

Ericka and the other two young ladies are awesome. I went for an ear piercing and came back for a nose piercing shortly thereafter due to being made to feel comfortable and my opinions valued. Ericka even recommended that she put in a longer industrial piercing due to the tightness of the previous one without me even asking. Thanks guys. Youve made these anxious moments really some of the best.Ray

Beyond excellent. Came in for an industrial piercing were able to give me options for it as Im allergic to nickel. 10 out of 10 recommend it Jasper was amazing.

Got both my Industrial and nose pierced by Christie and I’ve never had a better piercing experience! Best by far, professional, quick, beautiful, and great price. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings/tattoos in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

I have been to Time Bomb many times over the years for tattoos, piercings of my own, and piercings for my daughters (ears) as well. I love this shop- and all their employees are friendly, professional, very talented, and highly trained. The shop is always super clean, and well organized. On this particular day, I came in to have my lip repierced. I didn’t realize with Covid that appointments were required! However, they were very accommodating and able to fit me into their schedule right away. I was brought in, had my personal items placed in a UV sanitizer, and asked to wash my hands prior to entering the shop (very impressed!). One of the shop employees was also cleaning behind me, and then the high traffic areas of the shop while I was there (again very impressed!!). We picked out the jewelry I wanted from their vast selection, and then the piercer (Jasper) went back to the piercing room to clean it, and sanitize and prepare the equipment and jewelry. He was vey professional, explained the whole process, everything he was using and doing at each step and why, and my piercing was done quickly and painlessly. He was very gentle placing the jewelry too! I was given verbal, written, and emailed aftercare instructions; and advised to contact the shop with ANY questions or concerns. As always, a truly fantastic experience at Time Bomb, and I’ll remain a regular and dedicated customer here as long as they are open! In fact, I’m returning tomorrow for a dermal piercing that Ive been wanting too! Cannot recommend this shop enough!

This place has taken all the necessary measure you can think of to be clean during covid!!! I get all my piercings here and they are amazing! They will talk you down out of being nervous they are very comforting, and especially helpful to people with bad metal allergies like me! Only place I’ll ever go to for piercings or tattoos.

I got a Medusa piercing today, and the whole shop was professional, and clean and took all precautions. The piercing looks great and I’m really happy with my overall experience!

My wife will let no one else do her tattoos other than Time Bomb.

My grandmother said she never liked something long enough to want it permanently on her body. I think she just didn’t want to admit what we all were thinking: she could never pull off leopard spots. That being said, if I were going to get a tattoo this is probably the coolest place to get it done. Everything about this place screams art and celebrates the skills of its staff.

Got my nostril pierced two weeks ago and it was a great experience. Place was very clean and Capt. Gordon was very professional. There were so many options for jewelry and the girl at the front was super helpful and friendly. Piercing itself was quick and surprisingly not painful at all! Love it!

Cleanest place Ive been in! Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, and extremely talented artists. If youre looking for a place to get you done right, look no further!

I got my very first tattoo today and had a wonderful experience. Colin was so patient with me and really listened to what I wanted and did a perfect job! I’m so happy with the results and can’t wait to get my next one! I’ll definitely be back!

Collin does amazing work, pulled the picture out of my head and made it a reality! The shop is taking spectacular COVID measures and really made me feel at ease. Overall awesome experience! Will definitely be back for more

Makoto is so down to earth. They took their time and made sure it was perfect. I am in LOVE with my tattoo and how it turned out! Thank you Time Bomb and Makoto!

Took my almost 13 year old daughter in to get her ears pierced a second time today. Terrific experience and Christie was the bomb! Super sweet and really helped my daughter relax. Cannot recommend enough! We will be back for sure!

Christie was great and informative for both of my piercings today. Highly recommend

You wont find more talented or knowledgeable professionals anywhere else. This is not only the most unique shop, but hands down the most sanitary. During the pandemic, Time Bomb has exercised more sanitization knowledge and practice than any med facility ive visited in the area. If youre considering doing business here, just do it; you wont regret it. Treat yourself.

I have came to Time Bomb so many times over the years for varies tattoos, and piercings, I can not express how friendly, professional and over all great they are.

The people here are amazing, very friendly, very helpful. Miranda did a great job explaining how the tattoo placement and coloring would work against the skin color. Very in tune to her clients and made sure we (my sister and I) were doing fine throughout the process. Here is the tattoo the day of creation.

My person is Makoto. Phenomenal talent and skills. Patient, helpful and always careful.The place, clean, polite and well informed.COVID - they do everything needed and more.

Captain Gordon took time to help me find the perfect placement for my new tattoo. He was professional and the experience was painless. I would visit Time Bomb again, there’s so many neat things to see in the shop!

I got my first tattoo here and the experience was great! The were able to schedule a walk in appointment within two hours and the design was better than I initially had in mind. Collin was a fun guy.

Went for a helix piercing. Check in process was quick. Alden was great. Made sure the placement was exactly what I was looking for. Listened to what my ultimate goal/look was. Time Bomb is the only place I go for any body modifications! Two tattoos and now a helix piercing! I will definitely be back for more!

Extremely relaxing, clean, friendly staff..will be back..Captain is the best..👍🤗

My tattoo was exactly what I hoped for and better!

They have a collection of unique gifts, jewelry, and assortment of strange art and odd doo- dads However, Its definitely the tattoo spot that keep me returning to this NEAT shop nestled by the Carroll Creek in downtown! I have an amazing artist who knows how to please- with his tasty imagination, He lays Ink quickly and SAFELY, my 4th appointment on this tattoo below( in 3 months ) In addition, Ive seen several of the artists there- I think they all are very creative and experienced.This is a second review- as Google is giving me a hard time to rate them again. I GIVE THEM 100 STARS. Several additions to my arm have been made, and now I have had the pleasure to have Christy do several piercings, which came out beautifully. She is also very clean, professional, organized, and knows what she is doing. Did I mention friendly? The entire staff makes you feel very welcomed- which makes all the difference when you walk into a Tattoo shop.Another really killer tattoo by Collin which I will also post as well.Additional reveiw, after several apointments, I am always greeted with friendly staff, Christie has done several beautiful peircings including faith, forward, double heilix, tragus, bridge, septum, nose, and possibly others. I have never had any problems, she is always very fun, CLEAN, knowledged, experienced, and staff is very up to date on all COVID protocols, expect professionalism !!!

Shop has immaculate safety and cleanliness standards including UV ventilation since COVID-19. Staff is all professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They were transparent about all limitations of the tattoo project and left me feeling confident and well taken care of once it was all done.

Time Bomb is taking extreme precautions to fight the spread of Covid and I really appreciate that.Christie did my conch and daith piercings and I barely felt a thing! Shes a pleasure to be around and I will definitely see her again for my next piercing :)

Excellent customer service, both in person and via email. Clean and welcoming environment. I was glad I could get my tattoo in the back room as I would have been uncomfortable in the front of the shop with an audience of waiting customers and casual visitors to the shop. Colin was courteous, professional, efficient, and precise in his work. He gave clear directions about the process as well as after care instructions. If you are interested in a tattoo, you can feel confident that you will get exactly what you want if you come to Time Bomb!

Very nice kind workers! They also have a clean easy procedure with COVID too. Highly recommend!! :)

Matt is absolutely the best. Have multiple comments about the excellent lettering he did for me. My kind of tattooer as well, super chill and focused. Isnt super chatty but still really friendly. Have been to him for two and will be returning for my other planned tats.

Matt was an amazing artist. He did my cat memorial tattoo with flowers and it came out amazing!! He was very quick and detailed and what I thought would’ve been a 4 hour tattoo turned into 2 and a half 3 hour tattoo. The price was amazing and customer service made it all the worth while. If your in town and want a beautiful piece go to Time Bomb and have make do a piece for you!!

I want to start by saying that my piercer Dani was lovely. Very sweet. Very professional. Piercing turned out beautifully. My biggest beef was that they never gave me a price up front. I got one lobe piercing. ONE. And three VERY SMALL pieces of jewelry. That I later researched and found that they maybe cost $3-5 each. Dani did a great job. I was just not expecting to walk out $100 poorer for one damn lobe piercing. If I’d known that ahead of time I likely would have held off or gone elsewhere. If anyone would like a copy of my ‘receipt’ please let me know. I’ll pm it to you. I will say that one of the pieces of jewelry they replaced was slightly defective. And they were on top of that. I’d also say, if I’d known ahead of time that it was going to cost me that much, I would have done the darn thing myself and ordered the jewelry on line.

Went there the first time for a smaller peace. Colin was amazing and even it was only a small peace, it looks so good, that I have to keep staring at it because of the way he did the linings.Now I had a bigger peace of Art done. You cant even imagine what a wonderful job he did. I am so so happy and pleased.Everybody in this Studio is very friendly and easily to speak to and not make you feel out oi f place in any way. You easy get involved in conversations and feel home. When you there for a couple of hours or more, you can see the magic and talents of this tattoo artists putting on peoples bodies.

Makoto is an extremely talented artist, They were very patient with me as I figured out the details of what I wanted for my tattoo, wonderful conversationalist, incredibly polite and profesional. I think anyone would be lucky and satisfied to get a tattoo from Makoto. I couldnt be happier with my tattoo

Got a nose piercing a week ago. They asked about skin sensitivities and even educated me about metals I might react to for my other piercings. The staff could tell I was nervous but everyone was really nice and reassuring! My piercer was incredibly professional and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended!

They got me in last minute on an impromptu need. They were timely when responding to fb messenger to go over details on the tattoo. The shop is eclectic clean and inviting. Friendly desk staff greeted me right away. My artist took his time laying out the stencils and paying attention to detail and the tattoo came out better than the picture and idea I sent my artist.They have an amazing selection on body jewelry and fascinating eclectic pieces of art available to purchase as well.Friendly, professional, great looking shop, and great artists! This was my first time in this shop and is now the ONLY place i will be going in the future.

I have been to Time Bomb twice now. The first tattoo there I had done with Miranda and the second was today with Sarah. Both times I had a great experience. Everyone in the shop is so warm and welcoming. I just love the vibe there! Sarah took the idea I wanted and just made it perfect. I am so happy! The attention to detail, cleanliness and customer service is superb. They also have great jewelry there and I would recommend them to anyone for piercings as well! Go- you won’t be disappointed. And I think their prices are great too!

Had a wonderful experience here for my piercing with Capt Gordon. He was kind and had great conversations about travel. Definitely eased my nerves. The shop itself is impeccably clean and lots of neat trinkets to browse. Reasonably priced, great customer service, great experience.

Over the past three months I’ve been in to see Christie for piercings and she has been so great. Super knowledgeable and made me comfortable. Highly recommend her!

Right when you walk in the staff is very helpful and attentive. i was going in for getting both nostrils pierced and a septum jewelry change. i was offered many options for jewelry and staff even asked if i had any allergies to metals. Dani and her assistant were the ones to pierce me and they did a amazing job. took there time making sure everything was even and very clean. loved the way it came out couldnt have done it any more perfect, LOVE IT! overall staff is great there and services are very professional and you definitely are getting a quality service.

My husband had a cover-up done here, and the work is absolutely amazing. Its not totally healed, but here is the before and immediately after:

Great friendly and talented staff. Had a great experience for both me and my daughter. Went in for a nose piercing and came out with nose piercing, second earring piercing for my daughter and a tattoo for myself. Matt is extremely talented and I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo.

My friend and I went here for piercings and all of the staff was very kind and helpful, they answered any question we had. The piercer, Danni, was AMAZING! She was quick, super sweet and gentle. Hands down best piercing experience I have ever had. Will definitely be going back in the future. They also have the best jewelry!

I have five tattoos in total, two tattoos are from this unique tattoo shop and three tattoos are from different states. I even asked them to refill my two old tattoos that were from other tattoo shop and they made them look more amazing than original ones.I’m satisfied and I will always come back for more tattoos. You guys rock! ❤️

If I could give 10 stars I would! Everyone there is so nice and professional! Matt is truly amazing!! I came in with so many ideas in my head and he put them together into the PERFECT work of Art!!!!! I will continue to go here and I could not be happier!!

I just got my nose pierced by Danni tonight and it was the best experience! The shop is clean and in a good location. The whole staff was very helpful and friendly! Their jewelry selection is excellent. Could not have gone better! Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend to anyone who is nervous about getting pierced! The whole team made me feel comfortable and the process was fast! No appointment needed, I just walked in!

Went to remarkable lengths concerning sanitation! Courteous, professional, and personable.

When I walked in I was extremely nervous as this was my first cartlidge piercing. Everyone was so nice and put me at ease. They took the time to talk to me about what I wanted. After all said and done I love my helix and plan on going back for more.

This place is special to me. Time bomb is where I got my first tattoo. Very friendly guys. Love to assist you in what you want and what your looking for. Good location in downtown Fredrick. Some guys have been here for years. They want you to have the tattoo that you’d want to keep for a lifetime. It’s a shop I’d highly recommend for any first timers. I know I enjoyed it coming here. Clean, great bunch, great service for sure.

I got my second tattoo at Time Bomb today a wooden cross tattoo from guest artist Cable. He did a terrific job. The price was reasonable. The environment was clean and sterile. The procedure was super clean. I thought it would be very painful, it was not. Im not saying there wasnt any discomfort or pain there was a little. But keep in mind youre getting a tattoo there will be some discomfort. I will likely go back and get another at some point in the future. I highly recommend them!

This is honestly the most professional shop Ive been to. The staff at the counter is all very kind and helpful. The piercer I saw was very informative and gave me a beautiful helix piercing. I have seen Matt twice now for tattoo work and it has always been a wonderful experience. They have the best selection of jewelry I have seen and a really quirky collection of oddities. Thank you for the awsome service!

Great, attentive customer service all around here. Angel did my ear piercing with exact placement, and she is very easy to talk to about questions or concerns. The procedure was quick with relatively little pain. Its clear that cleanliness is a priority here. Angel used two pairs of gloves: one for the prep and one for my actual piercing. I would highly recommend her!

Very clean, such friendly people. Matt was amazing! My tattoo came out better than I imagined! Highly recommend! I will be going back!

If you want a tattoo this is the place to go, capt Gordon and Sarah are two of the best artists in the area! Their care and attention to detail is serving to none! Along with being a great place to have art placed on your body its also a great place for piercings etc. Shop is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Last but not least is the curiosity part of the business... There are definitely some interesting and curious art and objects to view and purchase.
