I'll start with the shop as a whole. Everything about the shop from the safety precautions in place for COVID, to the friendly staff who can answer all your questions, to the cleanliness (literally felt like I was in a Doctor's office) was exceptional. Alyssa was very nice to talk to, she was very eager to help in any way she could, helped me pick out jewelry, priced and repriced for different jewelry combos, gave very helpful insight on aftercare (and they have jewelry changing services). She also went out of her way to send me a picture of the pieces I was interested in for my second visit, and held them for me until the day of my appointment. She has a really friendly and sweet energy that makes you feel both comfortable and informed. Robert is THEE piercer. Really nice guy, personable, experienced, a true artist. He's also traveled a lot so he knows cool little cultural facts, has cool stories, and has pierced in a lot of different places. He walked me through a lot and crossed all the t's (changing gloves, sterilizing, etc.) like it was second nature. He told me exactly what he was doing as he was doing it so I knew what was happening even if I couldn't see it in my line of vision. He designed the shape and I let him choose where the different pieces went so I'd say he's got the style element too. He's really passionate about what he does and very determined to make sure you leave with all the instruction on aftercare you need to make sure your body stays healthy, like down to the anatomy of it all. I left with so much positive energy because that's just the kind of place it is. If anyone's ever looking to get pierced in the DMV area, I'd say it's more than worth the drive. I cannot recommend it enough. Stay tuned because one day I'm sure I'll have a tattoo review as well. read more

Tattoo Mafia - He didnt pierce the lobe but he did the arc on my cartilage - Piercing Near Me - Dover, Delaware

We were walk-in's and they were able to squeeze us in and draw exactly what we wanted. Very chill atmosphere and everyone was really cool

My daughter and I recently got matching tattoos (her first) at Tattoo Mafia, and I can't say enough good thinks about this shop, and more specifically Lisa. From Day-1 Lisa went out of her way to make this a wonderful experience for me and my daughter. She was patient, listened to our ideas, and ultimately came up with a design that we both loved. We were on a short timeline to get the tattoos completed as my daughter was going back to college, and Lisa went out of her way to schedule our session. When we arrived for our tattoos, Lisa was just as excited as we were! She was kind, patient, and again created a fantastic experience for us. We LOVE our matching tattoos, and will always be grateful to Lisa. Very profession and clean environment. Lisa is a WONDERFUL tattoo artist. Can't thank them enough! read more

My Tattoo artist's name is Lisa. I wanted scars on my chest to be less visible. The process took approximately two hours. I was so comfortable that I fell asleep during the tattooing process, My Tattoo is more beautiful than I had hoped for thanks to LISA. read more

Love this place ! Went to get a forearm tattoo as a remembrance to my mom . Wanted to include my mother's handwriting of a message she sent to me and it was perfect! Chloe may not be as experienced as Chris and Lisa but her talent is unreal! I live looking at my tattoo everyday and knowing my mom is with me .... Chloe Harrison rocked it out of the park ! read more

A very clean tattoo shop! I didn't go in to get a tattoo but to get a piercing. They were super expensive but I guess that's what's expected. It was SUPER clean and they were VERY helpful! read more

This is the only place I will ever go for tattoos or piercings! I've been tattooed several times by both Chris and Lisa, and their work is just amazing. I honestly would trust another shop as much as I do with this one. It's clean and they're efficient when it comes to consultations and appointments. I also recently received a piercing from Codi. I walked in and she was able to fit me in right then and there. She was thorough and made sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend this place for any tattoo or piercing you're thinking about getting! read more

Tattoo Mafia - Awesome piercing from Codi! - Piercing Near Me - Dover, Delaware

I had the most amazing experience getting my daith piercings from Codi, it was worth the 2.5 hour drive to get it done. From the consultation, to explaining everything, to the piercings...I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. Codi is so professional and legitimately cares about her clients. I highly recommend Codi for the daith piercing. I got it done for my migraines and I'll definitely keep you posted on how it works. But I'm confident that I've found the answer bc Codi is so knowledgeable and has a gift. And the place was immaculately clean. read more

This review is based upon my Niece getting a tattoo from here. It looks really nice and she said that Lisa was very helpful and personable. When I was there waiting, the place was very eat and clean and seemed to take all of the necessary steps needed to prevent issues from germs. The staff that was there while waiting was very nice and seemed happy working here. There is ample parking and the place has a very relaxed atmosphere. If you are in the market for a tattoo m, this is a good place to come. read more

Tatto Mafia is by far the best body art shop I've ever set foot in! The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is it smells like a hospital, which is a good thing. I want my tattoo and piercing shops to smell like that. The store manager Alyssa is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She is incredibly helpful and knows her stuff. Robert is an incredibly talented piercer and a super nice guy to boot! I will be having all of my body art done at Tattoo Mafia from now on! read more

I am not someone who normally writes a review unless I truly feel strongly about the business or service. When it comes to Tattoo Mafia, there are several things that stand out to me that make this the "go to" Tattoo shop in Delaware, and frankly the entire Mid-Atlantic. Here is why: 1. Cleanliness. This Tattoo shop is immaculately clean. From the moment you walk in you get the sense that they take enormous pride in their work area and look to provide the cleanest and most safe environment for you to get your service completed. 2. Customer Service. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a warm welcome and a willingness to help. If you are there for an appointment they always look to go above and beyond for your visit. They offer you coffee or water, and they will even provide you with menus to local restaurants so that you can purchase food and have it delivered to the shop. They take the hassle out of you having to order the food and they place the order and track it for you! When your service is complete, they ensure you have all the products and knowledge of how to take care of your new tattoo or piercing. They always look to make sure you leave 100% satisfied. 3. Talent. I personally have been tattooed by Ian three times now. He has made me feel incredibly comfortable every visit. He works hard to make sure you are completely satisfied, from the consult to the end product. He is very meticulous and takes tremendous pride in what he does. He also will make you laugh at least 100 times, which definitely helps take your mind off of the pain! It is not just Ian though that makes this shop. Chris and Lisa, the owners, are truly great people and they have built an amazing team. You can tell just from the culture and vibe they have in the shop, that they have worked hard to make sure their brand is represented well. If I didn't have such a loyalty to Ian, I honestly would let anyone in that shop tattoo me, as they all have a loyal client base as well as a great portfolio. If you are trying to decide where to get a tattoo, look no further; Tattoo Mafia is hands down where you need to go! read more

Great place. Very professional. The artists take their work seriously where they take their time with the drawing until you are satisfied. They also take their time with the tattooing process. Clear instructions on tattoo care. read more

My Wife and I have been tattooed here a few times now ..... excellent staff ..: pierces and tattoo artists ... extremely Clean and friendly environment !!! We are defiantly making more appointments soon !! read more

I found this buisness through yelp and im so happy i did! Ive been wanting my septum pierced for some time and i finally decided to take the plunge. After checking out a couple places i decided upon tattoo mafia. I had my appointment yesterday and everything went amazingly! The receptionist was very helpful,attentive and quick to answer any questions. The employee who did my piercing was Codi and im so glad she did. I was nervous at first since ive heard some horror stories about other companies messing up septum piercings, but after talking with codi i was completely confident. She was extremely kind,knowledgeable and helped me through every step. I couldn't be happier with the piercing, it really looks great! Between the great employees,pristine shop, and good prices you couldn't ask for more. Me and my husband will most definitely be back! read more

Mantis - Did a wonderful job talking me through my ear cartilage piercing on 10/04/2019. I though he going to use a clamp to hold my ear to push the needle through. I was caught off guard he had to did it by hand, and I have to say it wasn't bad at all. Excellent technique!!! read more

Got my tragus done here and I couldn't be happier! The staff were very friendly and they really knew their stuff. Environment was very clean, and they paid attention to how sterile everything needed to be. The environment wasn't intimidating at all, and when it came time to the piercing she was very nice, helpful, and calming! 10 out of 10 would recommend read more

I honestly love getting my tattoos done here, the place is so clean, so organized and everyone there is very friendly. I've been getting my tattoos done for about a year here with Emily and my fiancé recently started getting his sleeve done by Ian. When we went in for a full day session I was expecting to be a long boring day in there just waiting for my fiancé as we live in Wilmington. But, it was the exact opposite we were all having a conversation, playing a few games and was even able to get a tattoo done (walk-in), which made the whole day go by fast. I would honestly highly recommend this place to everyone, y'all won't be disappointed. read more

I knew Codi from a previous shop and with every piercing I ever got from her she was nothing but professional with me. Every single time she made sure she went over the care instructions and made sure I felt comfortable every single time I got pierced. read more

We are excited to go for more work in the future! read more
