Read Street Tattoo Parlor

With new owners, Charlie Foos and Jeffrey Pitt, Read Street Tattoo Parlour has just raised the bar for expert custom tattooing in Baltimore. Not only is the atmosphere welcoming, but their work is unmatched in the area. With a recent addition to the team, you will be blown away by the mutual and individual talent of Read Street. Charlie started a sleeve on my right arm that I've since had shaded by him, and no joke, I get stopped randomly everyday by someone's admiration for his work. If you are looking for quality and a range of expertise, look no further. Check out Read Street.

What a waste. Seth sold out and moved away.The new owners have no clue how to run a business professionally. The quality of the work is average at best. There are better options for tattoos in B-More but it's a shame that this place has slid so far. I'm not sure how long they can make it riding on Seth's past credentials.

Great tattooing has been coming out of Read Street for YEARS, but in the last 15 months, Seth has assembled a truly versatile and friendly staff, capable of accomplishing any genre of tattooing with perfection. My husband and i have been long-time clients of Seth's, and with his popularity snowballing, we found him to be booked solid for about two months.
We wanted tattoos to mark our 10 year wedding anniversary, and since it was a spur of the moment idea, we werent able to get any time with Seth right away. He was happy to refer us to one of his co-workers, Hunter, who had us wrapped up and on our way to dinner with just a few hours notice.
Your best bet is to check for yourself, and not to just take my word for it. The guys there consistantly win "Best of Baltimore" for a reason, and not to my surprise, i've found them to be regarded just as highly the world over. I was so proud when i walked into a tattoo parlor in Melbourne Australia, and they knew who did my work before i even spoke a word to them! The artist there was so happy to see Seth's work, that he took several photos of me, the tattoo, and of him with me as well!
Just do a search online, or even better, go there, and see for yourself.
I promise you'll be pleased!

PROS: safe, and professional, yet relaxed envrionment. peace of mind.
CONS: sometimes there can be a long wait to get tattooed, but so worth it!
