Red Octopus Tattoos

The place was super clean, the desk workers know what they are talking about and are helpful. The tattoo artists are personable and seem to actually care what the customers think. Just what you want in a tattoo parlor that's gonna give you permanent ink.

I had a nose 👃 piercing there and my experience was amazing. The person that did it was very fast and efficient. She told me to close my eyes and by time I closed them I swear she was already done. My son had a tattoo there done as well but I’ll be back to get a sleeve done.

Great place. Our artist was Dominique. He did an awesome job. We are so pleased. Will definitely patronize this business again.

I went there with a friend to get my first piercing EVER. As soon as I walked in, I could tell this is a good place. The decor is brilliant and the facility is spotless. Each artist has plenty of working for themselves and their clients; perfect if you're worried about social distancing. What I love the most about this place is how friendly and cool the artists are. They are serious and professional about their craft; while also being very down to earth when it comes questions. I loved my visit there and I hope you do too! 👍✨

Very friendly and informative staff. My piercer was amazing. Love my new nostril the placement was great. Piercer was very quick and thorough. Would definitely recommend going here if you are interested!!!

Amazing shop! I've had multiple pieces done here by Will Backus. The shop is very clean and the staff are professional, kind and helpful. The owners are invested in every aspect of the business and it shows!

My experience at this place was amazing. My tattoo artist Yohana went above and beyond with the design of this small project. She added extra details which made of my tattoo a pretty unique piece I'm proud to have on my skin. Totally recommend her.

Called Jessica on 2/28 to set an appt on 4/25. Two months wait which I was prepared for. What I wasn't prepared for was finding out I wasn't on the schedule after all that time. I reached out to Patrick the artist and he apologized and said he'd call me the next day to fit me in within in the week. Four days later and not a word. So if you decide to go here I suggest you get a written confirmation via e-mail. I was never asked my e-mail address so I should have made sure to give it to them and request a confirmation. Two months is a long time to be waiting for nothing. And then be promised a call to make it right which never comes.

I live in DC and other Red Octopus locations are closer to me. However, the Crofton location was highly recommended by a close friend. I went for a re-opening of a closed nose piercing. The hole had been closed for over 20 years. Kira was very professional. She fully answered all my questions. Kira wanted to make sure I was comfortable with the re-opening and that specific location. This was my first needle piercing. Kira demonstrated precision skill and quickness to the point that I didn't even realize she had completed the piercing. I am exceedingly pleased with the entire experience. Big Shout Out, Thanks, and Hugs to Kira for a great job!!

I've been to Red Octopus many times and my daughter even more. We've had piercings and tattoos done, always a great experience! The shop is very clean! The check in staff is helpful, polite and always professional!

Recently my husband, my daughter and I had an appointment with Pat. In one evening he did one after another. He's very experienced and an expert in his craft! Each tattoo was perfect, the lines and shading were very well done. We're looking forward to another tattoo!

I 100% recommend Red Octopus in Crofton.
