Fatty's Tattoos & Piercings Silver Spring

Great experience! The shop was quiet, clean, and well lit. Tattoo artist Ashley was so friendly, passionate, and mindful throughout our time together. I will definitely come back again soon. I’m so happy with my new tattoos, they look perfect.

This is my 2nd tattoo from Fatty's - Silver Spring and I couldn't be happier. I came from New Jersey to have this done and would not think about going anywhere else. Jacqui is amazing, a true artist. 100% professional, personable, and very clear about the process before, during, and after. Highly, highly recommend her!!

I took my 5 year old to get her ears pierced here and everything was great. It was clean, we barely had to wait, and no one got frustrated when my kid took a long time to decide on her earrings. The piercings themselves are perfect and the process was so smooth and easy that my kid barely reacted. They healed beautifully.

5 months later they started getting little bumps on the back. I emailed the studio and got a response back immediately with info from Dennis, who did the original piercing, telling us what they were and what we should do. The bumps were my fault - I wasn’t drying the back of her ears when they got wet.

I think this place is great and their responsiveness and continued support is really fantastic.

I am a regular at Fatties and frequent the shop on average once a month. I went in yesterday on 19 february and had an amazing service. The eyes she did turned out better than I imagined. Jacqui is a wonderful artist and a super cool person. She has done 3 of my tattoos and will be doing more work for me in the near future. The entire shop is clean, not cheesy and has a cool vibe. Everyone in the shop, Dennis, Ashley, Rafe, Fatty are also very kind without exuding a sense of entitlement that a lot of other artists at other shops have.

Went in for an appointment with Jacqi and I have nothing but good things to say. I was greeted kindly at Fattys, and I immediately felt welcomed.
Jacqi was incredibly accommodating, taking the time to listen to my ideas and providing expert advice on how to enhance the design to better suit my vision..
She’s about as talented as they come, my tattoo came out so clean, so beautiful, and I’m definitely gonna be going back for more.
For anyone considering a new tattoo, I cannot recommend Jacqi enough!!

I recommend 10/10 every time! Rafael Gomez is a true master of the art! He took the bits and pieces of my feeble attempt to tell him what I wanted and he created a masterpiece for my coverup! If you are ever at the Silver Springs location, Rafael Gomez is who you want!

Paola is awesome! I wanted to get an industrial but my anatomy wasn't suited so we opted for a faux industrial using chains to connect two separate helix piercings. The piercing turned out amazing and looks so beautiful!! Paola made the piercing experience, from talking about the piercing and jewelry to the actual piercing itself, so fun and I felt really at ease during the whole process. Everything was really great and it made me definitely want to come back so I even went back to get a rook and a helix piercing from her which turned out amazing as well! Definitely recommend getting piercings from Paola!

I really wanted a black cat somewhere on my arm for spooky season. Jacqi took my inspo pic and created the fluffiest, most adorable kitten ever! Her suggestions for size and placement were spot on, and I can show it off in all my favorite outfits. I absolutely love my spooky kitten and will definitely be booking more tats!

I can give this just 4 stars here ... but Fatty's in Silver Spring is truly a 5-star shop.

The entire staff is friendly and inviting and the facility is clean and comfortable.

Ashley did great work on my new ink today as you can see from this photo.

Highly recommend!

Dennis is awesome 🙌 I liked him as soon as I saw him and he was friendly, open, and had a sort of dry sense of humor (which I happen to appreciate). Got my bridge pierced after checking anatomy and chatting a bit, and I have a really good feeling about its healing process as so far (a little over a week) it looks great.

Amazing and beautiful work done by Jacqi. I felt very welcomed and taken care of. I appreciate how open she was to my ideas and made sure I was ok throughout the whole session. I loved her artistic touch she used to create a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you so much ❤ you made the tattoo experience an amazing one! -Rosita

Ashley single handedly tacked my terrible tattoo cover up. Through sheer technique, wonderful design, and overall skill, Ashley covered it up and left me with a piece I can proudly show anyone and everyone. I would recommend her and this shop to anyone who asks. Clean and convenient location. 1,000,000 out of 10.

Dennis is the absolute best! I was so anxious about getting some piercings done, but he made me feel comfortable and had me laughing the whole time. I’d recommend his work to anyone, I’ll definitely be back again!

If you want the perfect tattoo, book with Ash now. Pick a date next month tho, she's super busy.
Dennis P. Has changed my jewelry and pierced my ears more times than I can count. Great job every time.
Love them both.

Ashley was AMAZING. I will definitely be coming back, she was the SWEETEST artist ever :) she checked on me a bunch and we had awesome convos. Super chill and super professional too! 💜

My teen just got her ears pierced at Fatty’s in Silver Spring. Paola was so meticulous, patient, and understanding of some anxiety. Everything went seamlessly, and Paola is a gem! Highly recommend!

Had my first tattoo done by Jacqi at the Silver Spring location and couldn’t be happier! Very professional and answered all my questions. Gotten many compliments since. Also used gender neutral language which was very refreshing.

paula is my hero!! i needed help replacing one of my piercings and she made the process so easy. super knowledgeable and very good at what she does :’)) really good at making her clients feel right at home

This is not your fathers tattoo parlor nor the 1 down the ally. Fatty's is an artistic space that does tattoos. From the art work on the wall. Too the art work on your body. It is all top notch.
I emailed thru the website. Fatty himself called me. We discussed what I wanted done. I was lucky to have
Rafael G recommended. Rafael contacted me in a very timely manner. We arranged to meet to discus what I wanted. I took some pictures with me for this meeting.
The day the art work was to happen was awesome. All the staff where nice. The space was cleaner than my house. Rafael showed me his portrayal of what I wanted. It was more than I had hoped for. From start to finish was pure customer service.
Because the work was on my shoulder I was not able to really see the work till done. Upon complication. I went to the bathroom mirror. I was just stunned. His artistry captured what we discussed. But even more so. Such that I cried.
Their is not a word in a Google search too describe how happy I was to have had the opportunity for Fatty's and Rafael to preform their artistry. I have 3 more I want done in the near future. If you know it are not, TIP THE ARTIST!!
Thank You Rafael
Gregg

The artists are all kind, helpful, and friendly. Rafael helped me design the tattoo and did great work on it. Answered all questions fully and was very accommodating.
