The shop is great, very clean and professional. I love how my tattoo turned out. My friend and I both wanted a tattoo and scheduling our appointments together, hers with Ryan and mine with J was easy. Our first appointment we couldnt make and had to cancel last minute unfortunately, but the guys were really nice about it and rescheduled with no issues and unlike most shops Ive been too we didnt lose our deposit. The first drawing J showed me was really good, but not what I had in mind for myself. It was no problem at all for him to change a few things to make it a perfect fit to what I was looking for. It was worth the money that I spent. The only thing I would change is communication. The guys arent to talkative, it was a lot of silence. Over all Im extremely happy!

I had the best experience at Red Thorn! Ryan Arnold fixed a very sentimental stick-and-poke for me and did a beautiful job! He very artistically tattooed the design over the original tattoo and it looks great. I had been told in the past that it was "unfixable" but Ryan did a beautiful job fixing it and I cannot be more grateful!!! Additionally, the shop itself was spotlessly clean! Ryan also was very methodical with his set up and cleaning of the equipment before we got started. I felt extremely comfortable in the professional and clean environment there. From the artistry to the cleanliness and professionalism, I would 100% recommend getting tattooed at Red Thorn!!!

I could not be happier with how both of my tattoos turned out. Ryan is a great tattoo artist and he is very good when it comes to helping you with placement, style and coloring. I was not completely sure what I wanted to get and I gave Ryan a very general idea and he was able to sketch up and amazing tattoo in no time at all. The tattoo shop is one of the nicest shops I have ever been in and Its very clean. I would highly recommend Red Thorn for anyone looking to get a tattoo. I will definitely be going back soon for a few more tattoos.

Red Thorn Tattoo is awesome! This was my first tattoo and Ryan Arnold did a great job. Ryan recreated my Dads tattoo from the 60s. I wanted the tattoo as a tribute to my Father who just passed away. Ryan made some modern adjustments, cleaned it up, added color, and still kept it traditional. Great job, great shop! Ryan is both personable and professional! Ryans ability and availability were perfect timing and my tattoo will be healed in time for me to show my family at our Dads memorial service. Many thanks to Ryan!

This shop is a classy, old-school tattoo shop. The artists are fantastic and really put a lot of effort into giving a quality tattoo without disregarding health regulations. That seriously is the most important thing when you look for a tattoo shop. These dudes have put a lot of thought into the layout and decor, making it not only a safe spot to get a tattoo, but a cool place to hang out. The talent here is incredible and definitely the only place I will ever go.

Ryan and J are awesome. So far Ive only been tattooed by Ryan but have an appointment with both he and J coming up. Im always blown away when they send me drafts of what their designing for my tattoo. Theyre work is always exactly what I picture it to be. The shop itself is pristine. The space and the artists make for a really laid back, comfortable experience. Really excited for my upcoming appointments.

5 stars , Everyones friendly |Good vibes here. Not uptight like some shops can be, I came to get a quote for a sleeve tattoo but ended up getting a tattoo for $50 they had a $50 tattoo deal for artscape weekend, I didnt know about it but I came on good day I guess. Ill come back in a few days to discuss my tattoo ideas w an artist.

I could not be more impressed with the work that Ryan Arnold does. His lines are solid and he does a great job of taking your idea and turning it into something unimaginable. I drive over 2 hours just to get work done by him. The shop is beautiful and clean, and theres no doubt your experience will be anything less than great.

Amazing work and extremely clean tattoo shop! Ryan and J are very professional and work great together. Ryan is great in working with you so you get exactly what you want in your tattoo. He is very knowledgeable about placement and colors. Couldnt be more happy with my recent visit and will come back without a doubt.

Cant say enough good things about these guys. Had a previous tattoo done by J when he was at Read Street and wanted my next tattoo done by him. Then I saw that he opened a new shop and that Ryans work was awesome too. Came in with a vague idea and within a few hours I had a tattoo that exceeded my expectations.

Got my first tattoo done here by Ryan Arnold and I love it. I was really nervous and didnt know a lot about getting tattooed, but he was super nice and very helpful...not at all intimidating like the other places I had checked out. My tattoo looks amazing and Im definitely going back to him for my next one.

I was tattooed at this shop a week ago and the entire experience was a great one. Ryan made it so easy to talk about what I wanted and I ended up with a tattoo better than I was even imagining. Ill be making another appointment soon and would definitely recommend checking out how awesome this shop is!

Very chill shop. Way more comfortable than some of my past experiences. My artist Alex did an awesome job on my piece and Im very happy with it. Ill be back for sure. Highly recommend especially if you like traditional Japanese work or traditional American.

If youre looking to get a quality tattoo, this is the shop youll want to go to in Baltimore. The location is great and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Ryan and J are both magnificent artists and their work is nothing short of amazing. 5/5.
