Tattoo Mafia

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!

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 !

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

I've been wanting to work done in the Dover area for some years now. After doing my research I decided on going to Tattoo Mafia. I have been tattooed numerous times at various shops and I must say Tattoo Mafia is the most professional Tattoo shop that I have ever been to. The staff is awesome, the shop is clean, and the quality of work is excellent. Ian did my work and it came out perfect!!! I will go back for more work, highly recommended!

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!
