Tattoo Paradise

I just want to personally thank David C.! He is an amazing artist to work with. I came to him with an idea I’ve had for quite some time and told him to just do his thing and be creative with it. He literally took my idea and ran with it. I am truly amazed at how talented he is. He made my idea come to life in a much better way than I ever expected. He has an eye for detail and is one of the most talented artists I’ve found yet. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone who asks me. He exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to continue to work with him on my sleeve and other various tattoos I have planned. Below I have attached a couple photos of what we have done so far on my sleeve. :)

I am more than thrilled with the design and his creative eye. He is well worth the time and money and he is definitely someone you should choose to work with if you have a tattoo you are needing a great artist for.

I've gotten 12 tattoos and 2 piercings at Tattoo Paradise (so far!), and never cease to be impressed by the quality of the work they do. Every artist is exceptionally talented, experienced, and knowledgeable. The environment is very clean and professional, and the pricing is more than fair. I've gotten tattoos and piercings at other shops in town, and they all pale in comparison when it comes to quality. Staff are friendly and more than happy to help you reach your aesthetic goals while taking practicality and price range into account. I've never had any issues with healing/scarring from any of the work I've gotten done. I have always felt very comfortable and safe with every artist I've worked with. If you want the best possible quality work done, it would be borderline irresponsible to go anywhere but here.

A tattoo paradise indeed! First time doing a walk-in tattoo (small and simple) and it was such a great experience. Even though I arrived during rush hour (5pm), I was in and out in an hour (note this is not the norm.. I see some reviews complaining about waiting.. your fault for not making an appointment lol).

Ben was such a sweetie at the front desk and helped me make a stencil, then quoted me BEFORE I went it. Nate was also super kind, gentle, and professional - and did a beautiful job! He really focused on the placement to make sure I’d like the position.

I’ve been to shops where the staff is intimidating and gruff, but I felt so comfortable here. What a gem.

absolutely such a good place to get a tattoo. we did walk ins and they got us in right away. if you’re doing walk ins i would totally recommend coming in as soon as they open because they’re busy with walk ins!!! nate is absolutely amazing. such a nice guy who does such great work. would absolutely recommend!

Nate and the entire staff at Tattoo Paradise are amazing— I have gotten 2 tattoos done here and both have been phenomenal experiences. The shop is clean and reasonably priced for DC. My first tattoo was of a handwriting sample and Nate was able to do it within a week after I emailed the contact form on the website to set a date. The second piece was an addition to an existing tattoo (picture) and Nate did an absolutely stunning job matching the new art to old with a combo of pre-done design and freehand drawn leaves and stems to integrate the two tattoos. I was able to work the design out with him in advance via email. The staff is entirely professional and kind— their piercer even took the time to explain what had gone wrong with a previous cartilage piercing I had done (not at tattoo parlor) and give me some suggestions for fixing it. If you are local or visiting I would highly highly recommend this shop, especially if you email them with availability in advance.

100% best place..took my friend for his 1st tattoo...Gordy...my favorite ❤ Trever rocks...and Pattie was amazing with my nose and upper ear...super professional!

If you are black don’t go very rude and did not want to give me service drive 1 hour for nothing

Had some work done here by an artist I follow. The shop was clean and well maintained.the environment was open and comfortable. Everything happened on time and fast.

I got my first tattoo done here recently and I am SO happy with it! Azalea at the front, helped me with the design and was so patient with me and helped me figure out the perfect idea. I then got tattooed by Nikki and she was so great and did an awesome job, it looks perfect. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing shop! Serious legends have worked here and still do! Flashworks amaiZng. Old school traditional azimg tooo!
