Got a piece done by Emily last summer. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. I'll be returning to see Anastasia this fall!

Emily Sloman was the best artist to work with! She worked diligently to make sure the piece I got was what I wanted and she was a pleasure to work with all the way through. HFBL is also very covid safe!

My go to tattoo shop. Joe is my guy, Paul is great, and all the artists are very talented. Kind of a wait for an appointment, but totally worth it.

MISLEADING AND UNPROFESSIONAL
I have used this shop for previous work. And returned due to reasonable price($160 for a two hour piece.) and quality of work.
THIS rating is due to severe price increase, lack of professionalism in resolving the disagreement in price and inability of artist to have a conversation about being flexible or accommodating.
Previously I paid $80/hour for the piece I had done. Called a few days before appointment to confirm price of $175 balance for the $240(3 hour piece) and was told at that time(for the FIRST time) that this was a 3 hour piece which be a min of $375. Shocked by the $45/hour increase from previous work - I tried to speak with the artist(ALEX DOUCETTE) who was unwilling to work with me and simply repeated that there was a store min of $125(NOT POSTED ANYWHERE IN THE SHOP) and not told this rate before when we sat and went over design. My only experience had been as stated that I was charged at $160/2 hour piece. I. asked to confirm that my balance was $165($240 minis the $75 left as a deposit) as I wanted to bring cash - which would be $215(which covered that $165 balance and a $50 tip.). I was then told that that was a mistake and they did me a favor and gave me a piece price. Was this new piece available for a piece price? Was told no. Again repeating that shop min was $125/hour.
As a result I lost my $75 deposit for work that WASN’T ever done due to a severe increase in price. Poorly handled by artist as I tried to come to some compromise. Left it as I would have to think about whether I wanted to do business with them.
Called back to schedule and was told that not only was my deposit not refundable but not transferable to another artist, as the original artist refused to do that work - at their price!! He even refused to speak to me further. At no point did I raise my voice or try to be anything but flexible.
As an experienced manager and customer service professional I had to write this review to warn anyone who is going to do business with this artist/shop that they need to get it in writing. Or better yet use one of the more trustworthy and reputable shops in the area.

Erik is five stars as an artist and professional. The shop itself is tiny and parking can be a big challenge. Also, for those not living in downtown Baltimore, getting to the shop can be a pain. I will definitely be back to finish my half sleeve.

Paul ROCKS. He tattooed me and my friend and worked with us to perfect our designs. Super professional, personable, and so talented.

Awesome customer service and amazing artistry! HFBL's staff were super helpful in answering all my questions throughout the process. I did some research before I settled on this shop for my first tattoo. I love it - they did a great job. Go to HFBL for your next tattoo!

Way too pricey, but overall not bad, although the piece I got did turn out slightly off center. Staff didn't seem super knowledgeable about the ingredients of the inks/ transfer paper they used. Also the piece I got has flaked for a much longer amount of time than anything else I've gotten.

Josh did a phenomenal piece for me. Couldn't be happier. It's really nice to feel welcome and comfortable at Have Fun Be Lucky. Go see josh he's great. Also follow them on Instagram.
