Artist hours
Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun
Capt. Gordon is the Owner and a resident Artist at Time Bomb Tattoos & Curiosities. Born and raised in Maryland, he’s been tattooing professionally since 1992 and piercing since 1995. A creative force with a vibrant energy, Gordon is known for his versatility and award-winning work — recognized for Color Portraits, Large Scale Color, Cover-Ups, Tribal, and even a nod for Most Bizarre. He studied Architecture before life steered him into tattooing, starting his career in Gaithersburg while captaining White’s Ferry, a 28-car carrier. Nicknamed “Capn’ Staub” by Big Al and later dubbed Capt. Gordon after a run-in with Capt. Don Leslie, the name stuck — and the legend began. When not working at the studio, Gordon channels his passion into various creative projects. He’s available by appointment only on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Excellent customer service, both in person and via email. Clean and welcoming environment. I was glad I could get my tattoo in the back room as I would have been uncomfortable in the front of the shop with an audience of waiting customers and casual visitors to the shop. Colin was courteous, professional, efficient, and precise in his work. He gave clear directions about the process as well as after care instructions. If you are interested in a tattoo, you can feel confident that you will get exactly what you want if you come to Time Bomb!

Had a wonderful experience here for my piercing with Capt Gordon. He was kind and had great conversations about travel. Definitely eased my nerves. The shop itself is impeccably clean and lots of neat trinkets to browse. Reasonably priced, great customer service, great experience

Professional. Clean. Friendly. Captain Gordon is a phenomenal artist who has mastered his craft. I traveled out of state to be tattooed by him, and without a doubt I would absolutely do it again. This was an elite experience. 11/10
