The owner of this shop Matt gave me the best ink I have out of ten tattoos. He is an awesome guy and an even better artist! Hoping to make a trip back to Melbourne to have him do some cover up work for me! Read Less

I love the atmosphere and the quality of the work. Not to mention the amazing artist in there! So excited to show off my new work and have the world see how talented these guys are. Best tattoo experience I've had was at low tide. Quality people, quality artist. They put everything they have into tattoos! I won't go anywhere else. Read Less

Best experience I've had at a parlor. Outstanding artists for all art styles. You can't go wrong with any of your choice to do your ink. I'm more than happy with how my tattoo turned out! Incredible work fellas! Prices are very competitive. You best bet I'll be back for more very soon. Micheal Moore does some Awesome work!!!! Read Less

Michael Moore does amazing work. He's great at what he does and truly an artist. You can come with exactly what you want or give him a few story lines and let him run with it. Either way you will not be disappointed. Tattoos always heal great and his hand is not a heavy hand.... he is perfect absolutely perfect!! The studio is beautiful and relaxing. Everyone is friendly... go check them out if you want good art work! Read Less

This place is gross , seems very unsanitary to have a dog running around a tattoo shop. Save your money and go somewhere with a better reputation ... I wish I had 4 thumbs cause I'd give this place 4 thumbs down Read Less

Amazing shop with even more amazingly talented artists :) if you are looking for high quality tattoos with artists who are truly passionate about their jobs and have a true vision for what you are looking to get, I would highly recommend checking these guys out. On top of that, they're some of the nicest artists in the area! White trash Matt does amazing neo traditional and traditional pieces and Michael Moore has done more than one amazing piece on myself, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Truly great hearted people who love what they do! 10/10 would go again!!! Get at em!! ❤❤ love what you guys do!!! Keep up the amazing work. Read Less

Went here to get my nose pierced after reading other Yelp reviews. They were very professional and clean. The process was quick and they offered helpful information about healing and offered support for any issues. The selection of nose rings is pretty good. I got a cute small pink rhinestone. I have have recommended the place and my friend just got her nose done recently. $40 for the piercing and ring is pretty good!! Read Less

I would give it zero if this were an option. Took my girlfriend to get a daith piercing. The guy who works Wednesdays doing piercings was terrible. He didn't seem like he was sure of how to go about doing the piercing and when my girlfriend went to another shop to have the jewelry changed, they told her that it was the wrong piece of jewelry for this piercing. The amount of blood that had poured into her ear while having the piercing done affected her hearing for two weeks! Do not go to this shop for piercings! Read Less

I have never gotten a tattoo here but I've gotten 2 piercings (septum & frog eyes). I'm very happy with the results! Being new to this area I found this place online but there was only reviews on their tattooing service. I took the risk and I'm glad I did! I am married to this shop now for my piercings!!! Read Less

Got my vertical bindi piercing done here by josh. Half planned, half spur of the moment. He was awesome and super professional, plus he really knew what he was talking about. It was surprisingly quick and painless, and exactly where I wanted it with no problems. I'll be coming here again for some more surface piercings, plus maybe a few other body mods since he seems to be up for the challenge! Read Less

My mom had been calling for an entire week asking when we could go in to talk to someone about my tattoo. The guy we were talking to kept saying he wasn't sure and that he'd get back to us, but never returning our calls. I'd like to start by saying that the official website says that Low Tide Tattoos is open 7 days a week. So, I drove over there today (Sunday) to just go in and talk to someone about a possible tattoo I'd like to get done, how much it would cost, put down a payment, and make an appointment. The place was impossible to find, so I drove around the back and saw a very sketchy looking man standing in front of a building smoking a cigarette. I pulled over and rolled my window down to ask if this was Low Tide. He said yes. Then he said they were closed? Then I asked if he worked there, and he replied yes. Then I asked if I could ask him a quick question and he rudely said, "I'd really prefer if you just came back tomorrow when we're open. And it's by appointment only." And all I wanted to ask was if they would tattoo me even though I'm only 17. Rude, unprofessional, and definitely not a place I'd like to go to get my tattoos done.Read Less

I have 5 tattoos total and Chris did 2 of them. I have nothing but rave reviews for this shop, every time someone sees my son's footprint on my foot they feel compelled to compliment me on it and ask who did it.The shop is clean, well lit and not at all sketchy or anything else bad you hear about places. I love that I can usually pop in and discuss my next idea with an artist 99% of the time without needing an appointment or even a sketch. Chris is an amazing artist and it's incredible seeing how he can just pull exactly what you are referring to out of thin air.It is a cash only business but there is a little dollar store with an atm nearby and most people will tell you the cost upfront so you know how much to bring. Other than that there isn't anything wrong with the place at all! Read Less

I decided to get a triple forward helix piercing today. After doing my research, I found this place online and made a trip to the shop. The shop itself was incredibly clean, open, and welcoming. The staff members were super friendly and my piercer, Joshua, was the sweetest guy ever! All my questions were answered respectfully and honestly. He was always making sure of what I wanted! I have never had such a wonderful experience before - I will absolutely go back! I highly recommend Low Tide Tattoos.Read Less

I know a ton of people that have gotten work done at low tide so naturally when I was ready for my half sleeve I came here. Let me first say this is the cleanest shop I've ever stepped in. They also have the nicest artist in Maryland. Looking through the portfolio's you'll quickly see they are also the most talented artist in the state. Chris Carter does the most fantastic black and grey and the artist that did my half sleeve (Matt "WhitetrashMatt" Zimmerman) is an absolute monster. Totally original piece he drew up for me that came out amazing. His line work is crisp his shading is smooth and his attention to detail is incredible. If you need a place for a tattoo I URGE you to go to Low Tide Tattoo. Tattoo's are permanent and I promise you won't regret it. Read Less

When you decide to get a tattoo you should do your homework about the artist to make sure your going to get a well done tattoo. All the artists at this shop put out great tattoos. My artist is Chris Meade. I got a margarita glass pin up from him last year which I'll share. A couple days ago I put down my deposit for my next piece of permanent art work that I completely trust will come out great and I will be sharing that as well. Can't go wrong here. Read Less

I got a little jammer done here by Russel on my arm & it looks awesome. The amount of shading and detail he took the time to put into my atom bomb in spite of it's palm-size speaks volumes about his work and what he's really capable of. I had a lot of fun talking about books with him while he worked on my tattoo, it was a  refreshing treat to have a smart dude do work. Having just moved here I was worried about finding someone as easy to sit with as my old artist. Read Less

My new tattoo home. Went to get my 8th tattoo done here. Chris Meade did an AMAZING job! I couldn't be more pleased. The receptionist, Maria, was pretty helpful. Originally I called and she advised me to come in and take a look at the artists' work to decide who I wanted. Then I had to set a consultation appointment when I chose Chris and put down a deposit. He was really cool and I showed him what I wanted. The day of the tattoo, I was generally impressed with everything. The place is clean and comfortable. Chris did a phenomenal job and he was actually very friendly and made a painful 3 hours go by much better. I cannot wait to go back and get more work done by him. The other artists looked very talented too. What a hidden gem. You wouldn't think such an amazing tattoo spot is in Jessup behind a small shopping center! Read Less

I have a huge rib piece I got here, and I'm extremely happy with the results. It's a gorgeous tattoo, I get complimented on it all the time, and it's holding up well over time. The place is VERY clean, the artists are AMAZING and friendly, and it's obvious they're all educated artists and passionate about what they do. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and I'll continue to come here for all the rest of the tattoos I get. :)I also got my belly button pierced here. It was the third time I've had it done, the first two times I got it done at other places and the piercing rejected pretty quickly. This time, it's been a few months and it looks fantastic!

I absolutely love this shop and wouldn't ever want to go anywhere else. Tattoos are for life and when I decide to make a piece of art a part of my body for the rest of my life I expect quality. Low Tide delivers exactly that EVERY time. The staff pride themselves on customer service and quality craftsmanship. They will never try to exploit their customers or charge unfair prices for subpar work just to make a buck. Low Tide truly cares about cultivating lasting, satisfying relationships with their clients. They truly strive to prove the highest quality of custom work to every customer. When you walk into Low Tide you're greeted with smiles and respect, not ignored and left to browse cheap outsourced flash. The shop is immaculate and spotless. The staff open prep and open every single thing that will touch your body right in front of you so you know you're being tattooed with fresh, sterile equipment. The staff will treat you like a person, not a walking bag of money. They are always willing to answer questions and make your experience as enjoyable as possible. I will always support them and I absolutely recommend this shop to anyone who wants a gorgeous custom piece. Read Less

Clean shop and friendly artists.  Jackie is my go to girl for excellent work.  Crisp straight lines vibrant colors and beautiful custom art.  After ten years moving from place to place and shop to shop, this is my favorite shop by far!  Go in!  You won't be disappointed. Read Less

Finished a big leg piece finally last night.  Could not recommend a shop more.  Talented, talented artists who are really nice.  The shop is wonderfully clean.  Everything you want in a tattoo shop.I think they might be the best custom-work place in MD.  The artists all work hard and will even stay late (!) to finish you up. Highly recommended. Read Less

Clean shop, and fairly welcoming.  I went to get my septum pierced, and informed the piercer he would be working with some scar tissue.  Piercing experience was good, however the piercing is a little crooked, but that might be due in part to the fact I had scar tissue in my nose...They don't have a wide selection of jewelry, since they are mainly a tattoo shop, but you can bring your own jewelry if you want.  Only other complaint is I'm not sure if it was the jewelery, or if my skin had an allergic reaction to the metal, but after a week I had to replace the retainer with an acrylic piercing because it was getting severely sore and painful.  I'm not sure if I would come back here for a piercing, but I wouldn't mind coming back to see how they do with tattoos :) Read Less
