I come here for piercing and jewelry. Sami is the best! She is professional, polite and always makes me feel comfortable. She talks with you and is very transparent when its comes to piercings and healing time and risks (if any), she lays it all in front of you and she always encourages you to make a decision that its best for you and fits your life style. She is very thorough with instructions about after care as well. Its clear she is not just trying to make another sale. And something very very important is that her work station is always immaculately clean. I am always very confident and comfortable to sit on her chair! read more

Here to give a glowing review for my piercer, Sami!!!! First, the business made me feel extremely safe during Covid times, they practiced lots of precautions such as limiting the amount of people inside. Second, Sami was so informative and answered every question I had. A year ago, I got my upper lobes pierced at a different tattoo studio and it formed (from what I learned by Sami) a granule. I had to remove that piercing and it closed. Sami reassured me there could've been a multitude of factors that contributed to it, namely the POOR aftercare instructions I was given by that piercer. She even examined the other upper lobe piercing that managed to heal after the granule and informed me there was scar tissue but still a flat surface. SAMI KNOWS HER STUFF!!! Also, What I loved about her was not only did She take her time with matching the piercings BUT she asked for a second opinion!!! The second person also took their time to examine the location. Not just looked at it and gave a green light. I, not being an experienced piercer, would've taken Sami's first word for the location. So the fact she asked for a second opinion, and was humble enough to modify it as per the other opinion, really made my heart rest easy. Again, the lobes aren't too difficult a place to pierce but Sami handled me with care. The piercing itself was quick. We talked about trickiest place for a piercer and the longest after care piercing. Really informative and never felt rushed!! Don't know if there's a difference but this was the first time I got pierced with a labret backing instead of a butterfly! Anyway loved Sami, would come back again for another piercing ! read more

This is the only place I trust to get my tattoos and piercings. Sami is the safest piercing person I ever been to and I only trust her. All their tattoo artists are very talented. Best place on Staten Island. read more

Shane Is Amazing! He has done tattoos on me phenomenal tattoo artist . I would recommend in a heartbeat, super cool environment all the staff is amazing one of the best shops ever! read more

I won't go to any other tattoo place. I got my first tattoo done by Jay and he was awesome. And my second which was done by Nick who was awesome too! My friends also use tattoo mania and all their tattoos are so nice and clean. Highly recommend this place! Nick didn't rush my 3 hour tattoo and he was very nice and drew out the tattoo exactly how I pictured it in my head! :) thanks guys! read more

Literally downloaded this app to say sami is the GOAT I originally got both my earlobes pierced at the same time (by a different piercer) and it was my first time ever getting pierced. The lady didn't tell me any aftercare, if I can sleep on them etc, I had no clue. The little crystals or whatever literally went into my earlobes and I had to hit the urgent center to get them out lmao Sami provided me with a wealth of knowledge, made the experience effortless and painless, and I was even able to call her while she was off the clock! Because I woke up and my earlobe was completely bloody (not her fault, just natural) and she guided me on what to do at 8 am on the phone because I panicked She's done my lobe, eyebrow, and industrial all perfectly. Would recommend everyone to her and she's pretty much the only one I'll be going too for piercings read more

Came in a long time ago to open up a piercing that closed a little bit, granted the lady was very nice and did a great job and her workplace was very clean, but opening it back up with a little rod (we didn't even need to use a piercing gun) cost about 150 or 160, I don't remember. That's absolutely ridiculous, it is my fault I didn't ask for the price beforehand. But it was a lesson well learnt. I knew their starting price for tattoos and piercings is $90, I believe, and I would have paid the 90 even though that in of itself is also a ridiculous, but 150/160 is just a rip off read more

Mike did a tattoo on on my back that was a feather with birds, he got the true concept of my tattoo in memory of my loved ones. Took his time & didn't rush the job. read more

I like jay, but seven and the other people are terrible. Sevens tattoos are fine (nothing great) but he has an attitude problem like no other. Ive seen him make fun of people to their face or say stupid remarks! Its unprofessional. Im no newbie to the tattoo industry, so save your money and go elsewhere read more

Getting something as permanent as a tattoo deserves a great deal of your time. First there is the decision of what exactly it is you want to get tatoo'd? Second is where do you want to get tatoo'd? Third is the ominous "Can I live with this for the rest of my life?" question and Finally there is Where to go? The first three are all questions that your friends will try and answer for you, but the bottom line is that you need to make the final decision yourself. The fourth is, unless you have some ink already, up in the air. So many choices and concerns. Tatoo Mania for me has answered them all very positively on a consistant basis. It is clean and though may give off a very intimidating vibe with the horror movie posters and figurines that adorn the establishment, you'll very shortly find out the opposite... probably when you see the cartoons that everyone is watching and quoting. I have gone to Tattoo Mania for all of my work (7 and counting) and have always been met with a pleaurable experience and left sore (inevitably) but extremely pleased. The staff is very easy to speak to and will help you transform a basic idea in to a great piece that will leave you stunned in the end. I hate to play favorites, but I always come back to 7. His work is great and he is a pleasure to speak with during the job. Likewise my best friend has gotten all his work done by "6" (his brother) and my other best friend by Jay. All of whom were extremely pleased with the work of their respective artists. So once you've got the first three questions figured out yourself, hopefully you'll take this review into consideration for the fourth so you won't regret the decisions of the first three. read more

Jay is a true artist. You would be hard-pressed to find a more skilled, knowledgeable, and ethical tattoo artist. If you are considering getting inked, realize it's going to be with you for the rest of your life. You will not find a more professional, funny and talented artist like Jay!!! His talent, skill and natural ability coupled with years of experience have proven him one of​ the best artists around. He will guide you through the entire process, beginning with the design all the way through to helping make sure your new tattoo heals properly. I'm always happy with the work when it's​ done.

I've been going to Tattoo Mania for the last few years and really like it there. The prices are good and their work is great. The shop is clean and the staff will make you laugh while you're there. My fiance has got a bunch of tattoos from their shop and I have 2 from Jay (lily on lower back and Jessica Rabbit on my thigh). read more

Brought my 3 teenage girls here this weekend for piercings.The young lady who was doing the piercings was excellent, professional and extremely nice. The owner and the rest of his workers were just a-holes. All they did was sit there and curse like animals. I know the kids know all the words but act professional. Needless to say I will never go back. FYI took my girls for their first tattoo's, your place wasn't even mentioned. Going for more piercings, soon, it won't be your place. read more

I have been using this shop for years for tattoos and piercings. Extremely clean, professional and the artist are amazing especially JACK. He did all my piercings and all of my tattoos. I would highly recommend this place and I have to anyone who asks. I also had Jay tattoo my niece for her 1st tattoo (Jack wasn't available) but that's how much trust I have in the artists here. I would recommend any of the artists all very knowledgeable and amazingly talented. They also now have an awesome piercer sammi she did my friends piercings again super knowledgeable. read more

If you want excellent service, great prices, and knowledge people in the tattoo and piercing industry, you go HERE! Ever since my parents started allowing me to get piercings at 13 I've been going here. Now at 21, I know for a fact that there is no place else you can go to get the treatment you get at Tattoo Mania. Jay, the owner, is always so welcoming and makes me feel right at home, as does the rest of the staff. Since I'm more of a piercing person than a tattoo person, I spend most of my time at the shop with Sam! She is excellent at what she does. Sam is one of a kind and truly loves what she does and it shows! All of her clients she treats with care and respect and honesty. She never has and never will give a client a piercing if their anatomy is not suited for it. She has done most, if not all, my piercings and there's no one else I'd rather have gone to. She keeps up with APP standards and guidelines. All of her tools and jewelry are clean, sterilized, and the best quality! Every time my friends need a piercer to go to, I ALWAYS recommend Sam. She has a great portfolio ranging in a variety of piercings, excellent education on piercings, and much much more! Next time you want to adorn a beautiful new piercing- GO TO SAM! You won't regret it! read more

I got my nose pierced today and the piercer Sami was super friendly and professional. You could tell she knew what she was doing. She stressed the importance of cleanliness and aftercare, and helped calm my nerves (even when I started to feel lightheaded). Thank you! read more

So yesterday I walked in curious about a tattoo. Was a spontaneous venture for my mothers birthday (we did it together). I was immediately greeted which awesome. Jack sat with me and drew up a few ideas. The patience this guy has is incredible since I was probably a pain in the a**. Have to say, upon chatting with him he's very knowledgeable about the art of tattooing and definitely has his work in order. Besides delivering an awesome custom tattoo design he's really easy to talk to. Pretty cool guy I have to say. Definitely will be back to see him for future work. Highly recommended. read more

Got a tattoo that took an hour and it was just a word no detail and I was expecting it to be no more then 100 and ended up being 200 absolutely crazy definitely will not be going back there read more

Today I went for a nose piercing after debating for almost two years if I was ready or not to do it. I cannot thank Sami enough for making the experience almost pain free. I tend to pass out with needles, and while I did get very lightheaded, Sami made sure I was doing ok the entire time and did not rush the process at all. The piercing looks great and she really did a phenomenal job. read more

Jack did mine as a walk in. Funny guy and patient. Willing to draft multiple drawings. Went back a second time for my friend's tattoo which was done by Mike and is absolutely stunning! Had another one done as a walk in by Nick (referred to as skinny Nick . Definitely recommend coming here!!!!! All the artists are amazing and extremely funny. Completely satisfied with the work done from here. This is now my go to spot. Will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Love this place and everyone in it. Professional, fairly priced, and amazing work. Everyone in here is great and will try their absolute hardest to tattoo exactly what you want read more

Just got my tattoo there and I love it. So not painful and I must say the conversation was very entertaining. I actually found this place from yelp...thanks yelp! I was just visiting the S.I for a short time and I may come back for some new work. read more

Had a tattoo done by Seven several years ago, and I agree that he is rude, and he has a hard hand. I suffered way too much! Yesterday my daughter and I had tattoos done by German. I was very very impressed with his technique AND his care! read more

I was super nervous going into it, but the staff there was just great. Sami did my first body piercing, a stud on the right side of my nose. She was very careful and it healed extremely well- the whole process was done with total sterility. She was very patient with me being nervous about the process and in the end there was nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend Jay's Tattoo Mania to anybody looking to get a piercing! read more

This place gives you great experience and good art work. The employees extremely helpful and never now wat to expect here

Some of the nicest people you will ever meet here . Whether you're getting a tattoo or a piercing they treat you like family and spend every last second making sure you're happy with a potentially lifelong decision read more

Basing my rating on two visits to Tattoo Mania. Both for piercings. The first time I visited, I actually didn't leave with a piercing due to Sami's honesty. I had went for a belly button piercing, and when she checked my belly, she was honest enough to tell me that she wouldn't recommend that I do it, due to a high risk of it rejecting and ripping through, due to a lack of a lot of skin. Anyone who was money hungry would have just done it without informing me. Second time I visited was today and I had my rook piercing done. I originally came in for both rook and cartilage, but she recommended I wait and do them separately. Anyways, I ended up going with just the rook for today and she was amazing. She walked me through the entire process step by step and always let me know what she was doing before she did it. I felt really comfortable the entire process. I look forward to coming back to the shop for more piercings and hopefully for my next tattoo. :) Everyone in the shop was really nice, I would like to add on top of that. read more

Horrible!!! Sorry people. Staff is extremely rude and arrogant. Their work really isn't that great either. I've been there several times, and each time we were ignored. Their customer service skills suck. Bunch of punks working there I guess. Much better places on SI read more

Mike is one talented guy ! a true artist looking into having my next tattoo with him

These guys are great, they convinced me not to get tattooed. I was making a really bad design choose that I was unsure of, they convinced me to sleep on it. The next day I went back for another look. They drew a custom piece that I love... Thanks guys read more
