I have nothing but praise for everything and everyone in this shop.  From day one when I happened to stop by (just due to the fact of ease on my way home from work) I felt like I had already known these guys for years.  I had decided to start with a lotus (due to the meaning behind it having a constant battle with alcohol I wanted something visible to myself and others with out adding NA or AA symbols). I had spoke with LC about what I had kinda planned in my head, set an appointment up, and it began.  Now I have other Tat's however it has been 10 years in between for myself.  Appointment day could not have gone any smoother.  ( I hate needles, as with most people) but my mind stayed at ease throughout the session.  All I did was add the color/s I had wanted and let LC do the rest.  The lotus came first (see the pics) We had then set up the next appointment to add the Koi. (again selected for its meaning) The next appointment went as smooth if not smoother than the 1st.  Again the comfort level was top notch.  However there is zero compromise on professionalism as well.  Having completed another 2 1/2- 3hr session (which time did fly by) Pleased with the outcome and again I gave color choices and let LC do the rest.  I had already had a ton of compliments on the Koi esp. the color.  Stopped by to set up my 3rd session to finish out the half sleeve.  LC was in the middle of another session however took the time to hear out my ideas, and colors wanted, and set up my 3rd session.  3rd session just flew by (a solid 3 hours) and half sleeve is now completed.  The conversation with LC blew my mind.  (now I'm 35 have lived east to west coast and grew up in the Mitten (America's High Five state) We always had something new to talk about.  (This includes one of his regulars that stopped in on my 3rd session and just needed someone to talk to.  He and his girl had gone through the unfortunate horrible life event of a miscarriage.  Having gone though the same event not ever meeting this guy both me and LC both had insight to his regular. Now if this didn't make you feel like this place was part of a small family I don't know what else will.  I really hope the insight we both gave will help this young man and his "girl" get though this horrible event)  I will be back I have a poor decision on my other forearm I would like to get covered up.  The tattooing is a bonus,(the work, line work etc is awesome) the life conversions are irreplaceable and I feel like I have a new family I've never met but were here in Baltimore all along.  The vibe goes without saying it very chill, and laid back with zero lack of professionalism.  I ran out of LC's business cards from all the people that have asked where I got this done.  Thanks for everything guys, Patrick Erickson Read Less

The tattoo artist that did mine was an absolute professional and I was extremely pleased with the way my tattoo came out. The staff was friendly and courteous and my overall experience was quite enjoyable. Read Less

Was kinda upset when I went . My tattooer(not an artist ) did not do great. What I wanted does not look like the image I gave to him. Will be getting a cover up soon. Horrible mistake . I felt like he just knows how to tattoo people and not really make the image look great. (Not an artist at all) I wouldn't recommend little vinnies to anybody, at least for tattoos . Horrible Horrible mistake . Read Less

Yo my Cousin Chico is the best! My man and I have been tattooed by him. He's quick he's efficient he's got good conversation! Think it's really important to vibe with your artist. Planning to get another appointment lined up with him this week before I go on vacation. Piercer day was awesome he hooked my kitty cat UP!! Painful yes work but worth it!! Thanks guys! I know Christian will be in there sat to see you! Read Less

Jamel was awesome . I went in to get with rachel but things were mixed up a bit so instead I ask if Jamel would do it .He just rolled with my weird idea of tattooing a uv lamp cause and a nail bottle . I am a manicurist who works at about faces . I have the bottom sleve done with bottles and nail tools . Rachel started my tattoo and every time I come in we add more nail related items and they both said they never thought they wake up and tattoo this on someone lol . Jamel ...made me feel relax was kind nervous cause rachel started it but he assured me I would be ok and joked with me the entire tattoo and on top I have seen his work on other people and he does beautiful work . I will defently go back to him he made the nail polish bottle flow with rachel work . Thanks for being an awesome shop , and not giving me a hard time for tattoo weird stuff haha . It's awesome place to go . Sorry if grammar and wording off doing this on an I phone and it changes stuff when u don't realize it Jamel and rachel u are awesome Chico I always see u there and u always come talk to me and u work is always flawless so I will one day have u tattoo a piece lol I trust everyone who works here .

I've been going there since their beginning w my Dad and also piercer Dave has always been great I will unwrap and post soon as I am extremely satisfied and wow he took fifteen mins or so I will use this artist again. Very quick no nonsense ty Staff and Chico Read Less

I've been to Little Vinnies enough to say they do amazing work! Not only do they provide art inspiration or sketches to please everyone inside the business, they also do very well with making magic with the art work brought into the parlor. I'm a germ-a-phobe and although someone might say a tattoo studio is the last place I should be, I am always impressed with their cleanliness and sterilization process. All needles and tools were open in front of me and this made me extremely comfortable. In addition they are very quick and efficient! I definitely recommend them and love my Quill! Read Less

This place is awesome! Everyone was super kind and helpful. They were all so knowledgeable and made sure I was well informed before I got my first tattoo. The vibe was lax but the entire shop was clean and professional. Chico was my artist and he is amazingly talented; he upsized my design with no hesitation, and he talked me through the entire process. I'd definitely recommend LVT to everyone and I'll surely be back. Read Less

This place is amazing! I just got my first tattoo. I got a name across my whole chest. Rachel, took her time with everything to make sure it looked perfect for me. I really appreciate the compassion they put into making these beautiful designs. Read Less

The work and ink is the best! My 3rd one from there! I was surprised at the price for 6 tiny birds. It would have been cheaper to get my name! I guess thats when quality kicks in! The ink is nice than going to a persons home 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Read Less

Love this shop! You want the best tattoo or piercing for a great price, from wicked talent artists....then this is the place for you. My daughter and I ended up there because I have always gone to Vinnies back when they were on Main Street in Westminster. Let's just say after 10 mins in the new Finksburg location and I couldn't take the attitude and rudeness any longer. We went down to West side and so glad we did. Sure it is a much longer drive for us but EVERYONE there is incredibly nice and they care about the work that they do. The shop is clean and we just wouldn't go anywhere else. Everyone there is just so nice. My daughter got her belly piercing done there. Nick did my daughters first tattoo and it rocks! Little Chico has done a Mother & daughter tattoo for us and my daughter's third Tattoo. He is just a great down to earth guy who does great work. So happy with every service we have had there! If I could give them 10 stars I would.  Will definitely be back again as I need a coverup piece and well who doesn't love a new tat?!? Read Less

I went in with an idea that was kind of all over the place. I described it as best I could to Nick and he came back with more than I could even imagine. He took my cluster of an idea and turned it into a masterpiece. I will come back! Hands down worth every penny spent. Read Less

I've gotten many tattoos from artists all over the world during my time on active duty and without a doubt coming to West Side was my best experience ever. Sean is a true master craftsman and I was lucky to meet him. He did an amazing cover up on a very sensitive area. His attention to detail is impeccable and his customer service was outstanding. I will be going to him for all my future tattoos for as long as I'm in the area. Read Less

Little Chico has done most of my work for the last 18 years. He is the best in the biz!!  Little Vinnies is a killer shop filled with super talented artists. Super clean and super cool folks. Go there and get a tat or people will hate you...  even your Mom....  she already thinks you dress stupid and suck at your job. Just kidding, tell your mom I said hi!! Read Less

After visiting other shops, I highly recommend this place. The staff is very friendly and make you feel at home. Little Chico covered up my tattoo and is currently working on finishing up my sleeve. He made sure I got the perfect design. I've emailed LC several times with questions and has been very responsive.Read Less

My friend and I went to Little Vinnie's Westside yesterday to get matching tattoos. We walked in, and immediately knew this was going to be a great experience. The place is organized and clean, with flash art covering the walls. Everyone was so friendly and made sure we were completely satisfied before beginning. These were not our first tattoos, so we have prior experiences to compare to. Pricing was excellent and about what we expected. We both had separate artists. My artist was Nick, and Chico was my friend's artist. Nick was calm, and very sweet. He made sure everything was ready and I was satisfied with placement etc before beginning. During my tattoo he was talkative, but knew when to be quiet (during the most painful parts of the tattoo). He was gentle and got the work done quickly. It was flawless. My friend's tattoo artist Chico, was just finishing up as I walked in to see how it was going. My friend wouldn't shut up about what a wonderful job he did. Chico was also very gentle and my friend said she felt almost no pain at all. My friend has roughly 15 tattoos (I now have 4) so her excitement for this place was genuine and backed by over a decade of experience. I seriously will never go to any other tattoo parlor. I highly recommend Little Vinnie's or Little Vinnie's Westside for any tattoo or piercing. BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. We can not be more happy with our tattoos, Thank you Nick and Chico! Read Less

My experience at Little Vinnie's was overall not very positive. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the artist and couldn't find him on the website that did my tattoo, but he was awesome and had great customer service skills. He was fast and very easy to work with. As for the others there, the customer service was horrible. I was barely greeted as I walked into the parlor and felt very un-welcomed the entire time. I even tried saying hello to one of the artists and he completely ignored me after making eye contact and walking away.  I would definitely recommend going somewhere else if you can unless poor customer service doesn't bother you.

I've been getting tattoos up and down the east coast for 10 years or more and have found almost all "good" tattoo shops priced nearly the same. I got what I paid for and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks guys Read Less

I've been to Little Vinnie's on several occasions now. I am so satisfied with the service and prices that I will only go to Little Vinnie's while here on the East Coast. Thanks Gary. Good Job. See ya again this afternoon. Read Less
