This shop is not just your ordinary tattoo shop, this has become my girls night hang out spot, to eat, laugh, watch movies, chat it up all while getting inked. The creativity here is impeccable and who wouldn't want to be surrounded by an all female glam squad. Typical tattoo shops are hardcore, not warm not comfortable while here they aim to make the client comfy. I've had everything from my breasts, spine to legs done here and they were always respectful and considerate from covering me up to using pillows and adjustable chairs to prop whatever was being tattooed up while ensuring I was comfy. Jackie the owner is a sweetheart and has even stayed sometimes to keep myself and Tressa company while I've gotten tattooed. They have monthly specials and I especially like that there are certain times of the year where they award a winner a mastectomy scar cover up. Pain used to be a badge of honor with tattoos but no more. They offer medical grade numbing cream as an add on to any service. I keep saying I'm done but the atmosphere and creativity keep making me come back for more ink.

I've been following Pretty In Ink Tattoo studio for about two years now on Instagram and eyeing the incredible work of all the tattoo artists that work there . I'm no stranger to tattoos and I've been wanting to get a sleeve on my arm for the longest. I decided to go with another tattoo shop closer to me and I wasn't happy with the work; I had immediate regret that I didn't go with Pretty In Ink . After seeing what I had , I knew that I needed/wanted to reach out to Jackie , and see if she could help me . I've had two sessions so far and the transformation that has happened is INCREDIBLE AND STUNNING. Jackie does immaculate work with coverups. I am in awe of the beauty and detail in her work. Her attention to detail, extraordinary skill set, and passion for art shows in my tattoo!! I'm utterly grateful for Jackie taking me on as a client. The tattoo studio environment is so welcoming and I love the vibes that it emits. Jackie has / is a true blessing to this world and I cannot thank you enough !! - Shemika

First and foremost the cleanliness of this establishment is what ibfirst noticed. Emily and Tim are both exceptional artists. Both are very fun and easy to talk to. At the same time very professional. I've had multiple pieces done by Tim but I also have seen multiple pieces done by Emily that as excellent. Highly recommend either arist to take on your tattoo. Will continue to give this establishment my business.

Nicole is the BOMB!! I booked during their Black Friday online event. I'm starting a sleeve and wanted to get it started. Nicole was so patient and efficient. Thanks for the start of my sleeve!

I've been a client of Pretty in Ink in the past, but have yet to visit their Bowie location! So, I booked two ear piercings during their Black Friday sale, and had the opportunity to meet/work with Mellissa! I throughly enjoyed my visit, and Mellissa is super nice! I will definitely be back.

I did not like the tattoo. The quality of work does not match the over pricing. The amount of time it took did not match the quality and attention to detail of the tattoo.

I have been social media stalking Pretty In Ink for at least a year. I've been wanting to get my nose pierced since my birthday in April of 2020. As we all know, we were in shutdown around that time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, do getting my piercing done at that time wasn't happening. Eventually, the thought of getting it done went to the back of my mind. Fast forward to about a year ago when I came across Pretty In Ink on social media. From looking at their page and seeing that it's a woman-owned business, I knew I wanted to visit the shop one day. I would like to get a tattoo one day, but let's take baby steps here. After a rocky start to 2023, I finally found the time to schedule my appointment. Semaj is the artist who does the piercings. The online booking process was pretty easy. They require you to pay a deposit when booking. Prior to your appointment, you'll receive a waiver form to complete before you arrive. Once I arrived, I was ready to go. I was nervous but Semaj assured me that I would be fine. And guess what? I was! The process was pretty quick, and it honestly didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. Afterwards, I received tips on how to care for my piercing as it heals. I checked out by paying the rest of my balance and I was out the door. I was probably in and out in less than 15 minutes. I look forward to returning to get a tattoo. I'm getting ready to relocate soon, but I plan on returning to make visits to the area.

Emily’s work speaks for itself. She’s an amazing artist and I’m beyond happy with how my tattoo came out. Her studio is clean and welcoming and she creates such a comfortable atmosphere. She made me feel comfortable and was so easy to talk to. She checked in on me multiple times and I’m so happy with the experience. I will not be going anywhere else for tattoos.

When I decided I wanted another tattoo I was referred to Pretty In Ink. Well after a year of research of what I wanted I finally reached out to Jackie. I sent her a picture of what I wanted and the meaning behind it, she came back with her recommendations and I am so greatful. I went on Tuesday for may appointment got the numbing cream (highly recommend) and got my tattoo. I love the shop great atmosphere and I will be back

I had an amazing experience at Pretty in Ink! I worked with the tattoo artist Jackie and she was outstanding! She did an amazing coverup and I am happy with the outcome. The environment was friendly, clean, relaxing, and a fun experience. Jackie gave me everything that I was looking for and more! I can't wait to get another tattoo!

HANDS DOWN BEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! The consultation process was simple and easy. I HIGHLY encourage customers to read the guidance on their website BEFORE doing anything because it pretty much answers all the generic questions you would potentially have about your tattoo experience. MY (yes, possessive much), artist was Jackie! She was a joy and delight to work with during the consultation process and throughout my appointment. She had everything ready prior to my appointment time (cut out of my tattoo in different sizes, stencil ready, etc.) and even made adjustments before we got started to make sure I got what I wanted (after all, this is a permanent thing right??). I HIGHLY recommend the numbing cream for those who have a low tolerance for pain and/or for medium to large tattoos...I felt NOTHING for the 4 hours I was being tattooed (with potty breaks of course), and even after the cream wore off, there was minimal "tattoo pain." The vibe and energy in the shop is great as well. Even though I've claimed Jackie as my artist, any of the other ladies, Nicole or Tressa, would be a joy and delight to work with because they were a vibe as well. And I can't forget Semaj! Even though I didn't get a piercing this visit, he was very professional, very clean, quick, and made sure his customers had an enjoyable experience (from my view). Last, but certainly not least, I HIGHLY recommend getting the Aftercare kit as well - it has all you need to take care of your tattoo after your visit. Saniderm saves your life (USE THEIRS ONLY) and the aftercare cream blesses your tattoo. It definitely helps with the keeping your tattoo moisturized as well as the "healing itch." Truly worth the purchase. Already making plans to go back for touch-ups on old tattoos and additions to my existing tattoo, and a refresh on a piercing! Highly recommend!

Tressa did my tattoo and was amazing. She was patient and listened to my requests and made great suggestions! Location was great, staff was fun and welcoming, and definitely a beyond comforting space for anyone concerned about "where" is their tattoo being done. Highly recommend going to Pretty In Ink!
