About Island City

Island City Tattoos is Baltimore's #1 black-owned tattoo and piercing shop, on Park Heights Ave. We specialize in cover-ups, fine line, and custom designs for every skin tone.

Ray @ray_tattoos founded the studio with a simple goal: bring world-class technique to a neighborhood that didn't have it. Modern needles, sterile setup, real consultations, zero judgment.

Whether you want to cover an old regret, get your first piece, or commission something ambitious — we'll quote you for free and walk you through every step.
