Embassy Tattoo

Came here on a whim for a few piercings and couldn’t be happier! I was able to book an appointment the same day I called. Matt was so nice and patiently answered all my questions, and the piercings look great!! Definitely would recommend this place.

$20 Tuesdays for piercings are amazing!! Relatively quick process - just avoid going during lunch time or after work to bypass the crowds. Matt did a wonderful job and the person at the front desk was incredibly sweet and supportive. Highly recommend!

Great spot. Fernando took really good care of me and the work turned out awesome. Seemed to be a good spot for piercings as well.

Clean, no nonsense shop. I went in for the $20 piercing Tuesdays, and paid $25 total for my nose piercing, which included jewelry and a five dollar tip. I waited maybe 20 mins without an appointment and the piercer who did me was quick. Very pleased with my piercing and I have had no issues

My go to place for piercings in DC -- nowhere else compares! I prefer this over other tattoo parlors I've been to in DC! Matt, the piercer is the BEST -- will answer any questions you have and is super helpful. Honestly, take advantage of his services because it's so rare in my experience to find a licensed, super honest, and helpful piercer that isn't just trying to get you pierced and gone.

He fixed my roommate's eyebrow piercing immediately noticing that it was originally pierced too thin (so it was always falling out). For my industrial piercing, he told me to come back anytime if it was feeling to tight/if the bar wasn't the right size if my ears swelled up too much.

Additionally to that, the front desk is always SO amazing, welcoming, and also wow such great style (I aspire). For $20 Tuesday piercings: go before work hours and your wait won't be long at all! (my industrial was $40 -- two piercings).

I came in to get three cartilage piercings for my birthday three weeks ago. Matt walked me through which ear was better and changed the placement for me before we started. He kept joking with me while I got them, which is exactly what I needed. I was a little light headed after I got them done, and he had gummy bears and water. My ears have healed really well, and the piercings are exactly as I had pictured! I highly recommend coming to Matt for your piercings - he is excellent!

Came in for a walk in for a small tattoo on my wrist and was seen right away. I'm doing this review about a year later so unfortunately I can't remember her name, but she was very sweet and made me feel so comfortable. She took plenty of time to make sure the sketch and placement was absolutely perfect to my liking and I couldn't be happier with it still. I get so many compliments on it and definitely want to come back for my next one! While she was completing it, I even spoke to her and another artist about potentially adding to/covering up my not-great-quality tattoo on my ribs I got in college and they made me feel very confident they could do some great work on that as well.

This was my first piercing! I was lucky to get Matt. The work area and tools were clean. Matt is knowledgeable and QUICK!! I will go back if I want another piercing.

Came in with my uncle to get his first tattoo.(currently sitting with him while he gets it done).I planned on getting my septum when he scheduled his appointment. I messaged this location before and found out I'd be here during $20 piercing day. When we arrived, I was introduced to Matt and he sanitized the area and brought me to the back. I suffer from severe anxiety and was panicking the entire time. Matt talked and joked with me. I was freaking out for completely nothing. It was quick and painless. He found the perfect sweet spot cause I only felt the needle in my nose no pain whatsoever. Matt did an amazing job! Kevin is still working on my uncle but for his first tattoo and getting a half sleeve, he looks pretty comfortable. Thank you Matt and Kevin! We will definitely be back!

My right ear lobe piercing was way too low and the piercer even admitted it. I did not get an apology and still had to pay full price for it. I have now taken out the right stud and will have to get my ear redone somewhere else. Do not recommend - was really excited and hopeful after reading the other reviews and was let down. Paid $50 for the piercings and the cleaning solution was an extra $10 on top of that.

Also: they use butterfly backing earrings for first time piercings which is horrible. It took me an hour to get the messed up earring out and was very painful. It’s been 20 minutes and my ear is still bleeding. This was my first experience with piercings and I’m hesitant to ever even try again. Really disappointed.
