TATTOO MAFIA, INC. Tattoos and Body Piercing

First, thanks to Ian for executing my vision perfectly.Chris and Lisa, who own the shop, need to get in the consulting business and teach any service business how to operate. They could make a fortune, because they run their shop smoother than any other service business I have ever seen. Everyone is really treated like family! I felt comfortable the whole time, and the shop is immaculately clean.Ians talent is unparalleled. I had a very difficult and time consuming vision for my tattoo. Ian was able to take my vision and bring it to reality on my skin!!! This was my first tattoo, and I cant believe how well it came out. I owe all of that to Ian.I would not recommend any other tattoo shop. Tattoo Mafia is full of the most talented, and professional people in any service business...it just so happens they do tattoos! Thanks again Tattoo Mafia Family!!!

Worked with Ian for a tattoo, and he did an amazing job! It took a few months to get in, but my tattoo was worth it. He spoke the whole time and just created a calm atmosphere. Definitely recommend for people who are new to getting tattoos! I attached my tattoo, but I just had it done today and theres still a stencil outline on the sun.

I had an appointment on Thursday, and was coming from a drs appointment in PA and we kept having to change the time due to traffic and they were totally cool with it and understanding! I will definitely be suggesting them to everyone. Very clean place and very nice and respectful atmosphere! Hands down best place.

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.

I scheduled a tattoo last month, I went to my appointment early expecting the artist to be worth another client! I was wrong, he was waiting for my appointment! Got a GREAT tattoo, and had a fun the whole time I was there. ( Most places get weird after a couple hours!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! The talent they have in the Mafia is great! Ian was fantastic, my new favorite Asian!! Thanks again Mafia! I will definitely be back!!

I drove 2 hours to this shop from Maryland after seeing all the positive reviews.. Hospitality was amazing from the start. The receptionist was sweet and nice, the place is very clean with badass portraits and merchandise. . My artist Emily did an AMAZING job on my back piece . She couldnt have been more consoling, funny, and professional. I will Definelty be coming back for more work.. Rock on Tattoo Mafia!!!!

I have been going to Chris since the days of the Dover Farmers Market. His work is exceptional. He really cares about his clients, and really takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the finished product. My son and wife have also had work done. Great experience every time. Thanks, Chris.

Highly recommended! Professional and friendly staff...awesome ink! Chris D. does phenomenal work! Definitely check it out.

Tattoo mafia is more then a 5 star tattoo studio. I currently have 4 tattoos. All which have been done by Chris. First let me say, there Covid protocols are a A+! You have to call the shop to let them know you are there and Alyssa will let you in. Alyssa is always so nice and always had a smile even under her mask! She always makes sure you understand and are okay with your appointment and makes sure you have a great artist even tho all the artist at tattoo mafia is amazing.Chris on the other hand, is a AMAZING tattoo artist!! He is out of this world with his detail snd coloring! He takes his time and will never disappoint you!! He will always make sure your comfortable while getting the tattoo and is down to earth! All 4 of my tattoos, me and Chris talked the whole time and all my tattoos have a combined 17 hours of tattooing. This is a WONDERFUL and EXCELLENT establishment who will treat you like family! Tattoo mafia will never disappoint you!! I will recommend this studio to all my friends and everyone on social media to go there!I get compliments everywhere I go on my tattoos and they are always blown away by the detail on them! I’ve even gotten many compliments by individuals who do not like tattoos, now that will tell you something.

Their Covid-19 protocol is top notch! The most clinical tattoo studio I’ve ever seen.

I got my first tattoo here. I was very impressed. So far... so good. It hasnt gone away!

Had my first body piercing done by Chadwick. He was absolutely Amazing! He answered every question and explained everything he was doing step by step! Very patient, kind and professional. The studio was also very clean and staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and revisit again! Thank you for such an Awesome first time experience! Chad you Rock!!!

My experience at Tattoo Mafia could be described as nothing less than phenomenal. Lisa DeLauder was my artist and did outstanding work. You can go on their website and view her portfolio and it speaks for itself. Additionally, the staff, facility and overall experience was absolutely amazing! Sometimes, tattoo shops get a bad reputation. Almost like there is a stigma about the presence of one in the community. This facility and staff is providing a true 5 star service to their clients. They are incredibly passionate about their work. My piece was a memorial for my daughter. Lisa took the basic idea I had and turned it into a timeless masterpiece that will be with me forever. Another thing that really stood out for me was the girl that works at the front desk. I am sorry I forget what her name was and I dont want to assume her title is receptionist but, she is the first face you see when you walk in and the last one you see when you leave. She has an awesome personality for what she does. While greeting customers all day and managing all of the intake, ect... she even found time to walk around the shop several times to see if anyone needed to order food or wanted a coffee or water! If you are considering a tattoo, please stop in to Tattoo Mafia. You will NOT be disappointed!

This place is so awesome. They are so nice and welcoming. I had Emily she was very nice and kept asking if I was okay which was good. The tattoo is amazing, I cant believe my eyes, I definitely will be coming again.

The whole staff is professional and friendly! A lot of talent in just one place. Cris has a great operatic voice and might sing for a minute upon request, while doing your tattoo .

Everybody here is so friendly and welcoming. They are also very knowledgeable and clean. I made the mistake of getting a second lobe piercing at a different shop and 3 days in, it was completely messed up. I stopped in today and Mantis was able to help me out and give me proper aftercare instructions to ensure safe healing. Although he’s a guest piercer, I have complete faith in everybody there and can’t wait to go back and have my second lobe redone. He also switched the bead on my conch CBR to an awesome opal one, and I’m in love! The jewelry selection is absolutely amazing and I would recommend them to anybody looking for a quality piercing.

I discovered this place through my mother, whom had her tattoo done by Chris and was not disappointed.I got his amazing wife Lisa to do my peice, and I am equally not disappointed. There is great balance between what you want your piece to look like, and what your artist thinks would make your piece really pop!Everyone there is professional, welcoming and super helpful. Its a very relaxed environment.The shop itself is always clean, they take cleaning and safety very seriously there. You can tell, just from walking in the front door they take great pride in keeping their shop and equipment spotless. You can be sure the equipment they use is safe and clean, and they do their best to ensure you are comfortable throughout your session.They also make sure that when you leave, you are set up with everything you might need to take care of your tattoo and any information you might need. And any and all questions you might have, they are always only a call or an email away!All in all, I loved the place and the staff. Definitely going to be going back for more!

The staff a Tattoo Mafia in Cheswalt Delaware were very accommodating the entire time, I watch Emmily finished an intrigue shoulder design on a close personal friend. The finished design will be posted on their web site. If your considering a shop to do your first or next tattoo. Give the shop a call.

Why say you’re open, if you don’t answer the phone ?

Very clean building, very professional. Polite and they know what they are doing. Recently got a nostril piercing from Chadwick, he was very kind and knowledgeable about his trade. I could not recommend this shop enough for anything you need. I will be passing the word along to co-workers and friends. You found the RIGHT place for your next piercing or tattoo!

I just had a piece done by Ian and couldnt be happier with the entire experience. Ian really brought my vision to life, it is perfect and I cant wait for him to do my next one! He made me feel so comfortable in the chair and everyone at the shop made me feel like family.

Chris did a great job I am very pleased with the results, its a one of a kind, all hand drawn. Great job

Lisa was my tattoo artist and she was amazing. This was my first tattoo. From the moment I met her for our consultation she was honest and clear with what to expect. I was nervous because I wanted the tattoo on my sternum and she stated that was one of the most painful spots. I turned in a couple of ideas I had and we talked about my overall vision. When it was closer to the time of my session she sent me proofs of her design, she was super responsive and accommodating with the changes I requested. She was able to create what I had imagined my tattoo to look like. On the days leading up to my tattoo session she kept me calm by encouraging me and reminding me of what to do before, and what to expect during the session. It could not have gone better!! I RECOMMEND HER 100%. She kept me calm and relaxed, she worked flawlessly and swiftly. I made it through the session in less time then we planned and I truly believe it was because she prepared me and made me feel so calm. WORTH THE WAIT! Thank you so much LISA!!!!

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!

Great place with friendly staff. The work they do is pure art. This is only place I will get my ink done. Chris is the best..

I absolutely love this place they are so clean and professional, Emily Graven was my tattoo artist amd she did a wonderful job on me and my boyfriends tattoos and I will definitely be going to them for any future tattoos Im gettingI accidentally gave a 3 star review and just figured out how to change it lol

Tattoo Mafia sets the gold standard for the industry. The vibe in this shop is simply outstanding-starting with immaculate housekeeping, super friendly staff and artists who genuinely care about their clients. My experience began several months ago with a consultation with Chris. Chris gave me his undivided attention as he listened to my idea, asked questions and took notes. Fast forward to a week before my appointment when an email arrived with a design that only needed minor modifications, which Chris quickly adapted without complaint. Appointment day arrived and my nerves were immediately settled soon after arrival-a warm welcome and family atmosphere put me at ease. The full day appointment went by like a blink of an eye. The exceptional skills encompassed by this artist, along with his staff surpassed my expectations. I walked away with a showpiece that represents who I am, executed by Chris, a true professional and master in this field. Thank you, Tattoo Mafia!

Awesome people to deal with. Great art work. Just an awesome place

If I could give more stars, I would!Today I got my first tattoo done by Will, and he did an AMAZING job. I’m in love with my tattoo! He was super nice and friendly. He explained the whole tattoo process which made me feel at ease since I was pretty nervous when I first walked in. I would highly recommend!

This place is amazing!!! Emily Graven was our artist and this girl has talent! I would highly recommend this place. The whole atmosphere is welcoming. I can not wait to go back for more tattoos!

I went here to get my first tattoo a few weeks ago and the whole experience was great! Very friendly people with a nice looking and very clean shop. I found them through other good reviews on Facebook, everyone had great things to say about them and they still surpassed my expectations. My tattoo artist was Emily, she was very cool,down to earth and fun to talk to. I sent her a few styles I was thinking about and she took the best parts and combined them into a great looking design. Her line work was so clean my wife thought it was fake at first and now she wants to go to Emily for her next tattoo and some touch up work she needs. Over all a great experience and I highly recommend them. My wife and I will be going back there for the rest of our work from now on

Awesome place, awesome people. Im from out of town, and wanted a tattoo before I left .they took care of me as if I was one of their own! Recommend coming here to anyone, and will definitely be spreading the word about them!

Got pierced by Codi yesterday and was totally impressed. She explained everything from start to finish, and she was super friendly. I felt totally relaxed and comfortable. This was my 1st time at Tattoo Mafia, and as soon as I walked in the door, I knew I had made the right decision. The place was clean, organized, and professional. It is like no tattoo shop Ive ever been to before, and I cant imagine going anywhere else again. In fact, I set up a consultation for a new tattoo before I left. Excited to return!

First time in a tattoo shop. Very clean and very professional. My husband and I chose Ian for a tattoo of interlocked wedding rings. We brought sample pictures and Ian helped us craft our own personal tattoo based on what we liked and disliked about the pictures that we brought. He also made suggestions about shading, size and location. He is an awesome artist. Ian and all the staff were friendly and cool. Would highly recommend!

Had a cover up done by Chris. Man does amazing work. Such a light touch with the gun. Amazing shop. Extremely clean.they go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Absolutely love this place already booked a second tattoo with Chris. I highly recommend tattoo mafia. You want the best around this is the place to go

Lisa did an amazing job on my tribute piece. Shes a sweetheart and made sure I was comfortable and that my piece was exactly what I was looking for. Very professional and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

This was my first tattoo. Great experience. Everyone is very professional. Very clean facility. Emily was great. Ready for my next!!!

This place is top notch, the best tattoo shop I’ve seen. I had Codi pierce my earrings after 2 piercing F ups. She was so sweet and letting me know things that i didn’t know the first 2 times i got my ears done. I’m so so happy i decided to have her re-pierce my ears.

Awesome customer service. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Will ROCKS!! Many thanks!

Chadwick was super chill and professional, and Alyssa is always friendly and helpful

I had an awesome experience there. My tattoo artist was Emily, she did exactly what I wanted. Great at shading. The place was very clean and staff were very respectful. Thank you Tattoo Mafia!!

The staff is amazing and very professional. The shop was very clean and organized. Ian did my tattoo for daughter on my wrist and its extremely beautiful! My husband recommended the shop because all of his tattoos were done by Chris in the past which still look incredible. I couldnt have had a better experience.

Just walking through the door you know you are in a friendly environment! Everyone is very respectful and kind. Very good with my scheduling needs and have some of the best artists around! I usually go to Will or Ian for most of the work I get done but I have seen some amazing stuff from the other artists there also. Easy 5 star rating!!

Pricy but 100% worth it, Chadwick was amazing and made sure he was hitting the sweet spot for my septum, really nice dude, really professional and a really nice clean shop! insanely stoked about my piercing!

So far Ive only had my consultation with Curtis Adams for the work I am wanting. He asked the right questions and he listened to what was being said and even the ideals for more later. Very professional and pleased so far. The rest of the staff that were on site we awesome too with just the joking and laughter. Made me feel like I was at home with the husband even though he was with me. Thank you to there staff for your excellent customer service and hospitality.

Very clean, professional, and just playing cool filled with really awesome, and sociable artists.

Excellent job! Loved my nose piercing...we will back soon for a tattoo.

When looking for a great place to get a tattoo or a piercing....I would have to say Tattoo Mafia is the best place to meet your needs. They have two amazing, phenomenal tattoo artists, Lisa and Chris, one incredible piercer/office assistant, Codi and two great friendly apprentices, Emily and Steve. From the first time I was tattooed by Lisa at Tattoo Mafia three years ago until my most recent appointment this year (2016), I have been treated with the utmost respect and was always made to feel comfortable. The tattoo shop is the cleanest shop Ive ever been in (which I have been in several in Delaware). From the moment you walk in you are greeted by one of the most amazing people that I have ever met. Codi has always been appropriate and professional. I have set many appointments with Codi and she has always made me feel comfortable. Having had the opportunity to sit for several full day tattoo sessions with Lisa, I have also been able to observe Codi interacting with many clients and potential clients which she has always been completely professional. I was reading through the Google reviews for Tattoo Mafia and one recent review has disheartened me. I feel the need to address this individual because I believe that you should never put slanderous and inaccurate information out for the public to read. The bell Bells review is most likely fake. I also believe that this individual has never set foot in the Tattoo Mafia shop because their description of the shop is inaccurate and the inappropriate and benighted comments made toward Codi where inhuman. Please when reading the Google reviews, please take note that all but one review shows an adequate depiction of the staff and tattoo shop.

This place is amazing! I went there for my consultation recently to get my monstrousity of a tattoo covered up. The artist that will be doing the tattoo discussed everything in great detail. She took measurements of the current tattoo multiple times making sure that what I wish to get would be sized perfect. I did not feel rushed or pushed into making decisions that would cut corners to make the design easier or less detailed. Now, the environment. I have to start a whole new part in this review because it was... Just amazing. When I walked in I was greeted with smiling faces and and an offer of a beverage and assisted immediately. The entire staff was friendly and courteous, the shop was clean as a pin. It was bright and wide open, the music wasnt so loud you had to yell to be heard. All of their displays ( for gauges and such ) where very well lit and the products within beautifully arranged so you werent struggling to see anything or just seeing a massive pile of gauges and piercings in a bowl. I also know that I was not the only tattoo seeker there that felt as awesome as I did, there was a gentleman sleeping soundly as we did my consultation. That showed me this was a place you didnt have to be on edge and watch the artist like a hawk because you trust and believe you will leave there with beautiful work. At the end of this uper long review I have to mention one last thing, the artist I am working with did not just talk with me about slapping some random thing on my leg and calling it a day. No, she asked for details, picture references, ideas, also taking the time to mention not just the pros of getting the tattoo. But also mentioning what position I will be in and if needed to bring something with me from home so I am comfortable during a possible long session. I have never been to a tattoo shop that I would recommend more because its not JUST another shop. No, this place is absolutely amazing and the people that work there are epic. Highly recommend coming to this shop, if you want a tattoo you will love forever this is the shop to go to. I promise you wont be disappointed.

Best tattoo studio in the state. The artists are amazingly talented. The staff is courteous and caring. They take good care of their customers. As soon as you walk through the door, you become family. I wouldnt go anywhere else to get a tattoo or piercing.

Very clean and professional setup! Codi is extremely friendly and helpful at the front desk. Emily did an amazing job on my tattoo! I am absolutely in love with it! She was also very friendly and fun to talk to! I had an awesome experience and would definitely recommend Tattoo Mafia to anyone and everyone.

I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience. My mom felt very comfortable with me getting my tattoo done here because of how clean and inviting it is. Will tattooed me and did a great job. He was very professional and really helped me through the session. His style is meticulous and clean and I ended up with a dope tattoo. I am definitely going to get more tattoos here and I would highly recommend this shop to anyone.

Absolutely the best tattoo shop I have ever been to! Codi is amazing and professional! Such a great piercer.The atmosphere is welcoming and spotless! Highly recommend.

I got my nose pierced today by Codi and she was super excellent! She was warm and welcoming from the door. She was extremely thorough, professional and informative. It was like talking to a friend. She made me feel very comfortable and happy to be there. I really liked the shop as well. Modern, industrial, organized and clean. I observed Codi interacting with her co-workers and could tell there was a good, friendly and courteous team working there. I would definitely go again and I would highly recommend Codi. Thanks, again, Codi!

I got a triple helix done by Codi and I am so happy I went to her! My piercing came out exactly how I wanted it and Codi was so nice and helpful! She answered all my questions and made sure I had everything I needed to take care of my piercing. She is a true professional and if you ever want anything pierced I highly recommend her! And for an added bonus this shop is so nice and clean! Its one of the best Ive been too and I will definitely go back.

This has been my go to place to get a tattoo since moving to Delaware. They are great artists and very nice people. I have had a few medical issues, but once I am able to, I will be going there again to get a memorial tattoo for my Dad. I am looking forward to seeing how different the artist, Emily, her style differs from Chris, artist and one of the owners.

I got my four piercings done here and I could not be any more satisfied! They handled everything completely professional and their shop/ piercing tools and process was immaculate. They were able to give me great advice and tips as well. I highly recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing to check them out if you want it done by professional, genuine, and helpful staff members like the people at Tattoo Mafia who will exceed expectations.P.S.- I worked with Codi on my piercings and she was the greatest. Made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. You can tell she takes pride in doing her work flawlessly. She made herself a new follower out of me!

New place is awesome. Emily did my tattoo came out better than I even expected. I love it. So happy with the way she did my design. Definitely would have her do my next one.

I have known Codi for years. She has always been a wonderful person. Very upbeat, positive, and so great to be around. When I needed some of my jewelry changed she gladly did it for me no questions asked. Tattoo Mafia certainly has a WONDERFUL addition to their team with Codi. I will definitely be bringing her some business very soon.

I saw Codi Lyn Canasa to get my septum piercing after it was incorrectly pierced as two previous shops. The staff was so helpful over the phone and in person and Codi did an amazing job! She explained everything before she prepped me to get pierced, she took her time finding the perfect spot, and she pierced it beautifully! I was beyond excited when I looked in the mirror. Awesome place and awesome people! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Ive been a customer here for years, but every time I go they seem to top themselves. Professionalism is the best in the business by far. Codi always makes sure the entire process is seamless and simple. This particular time I got some work done by Emily, and was BLOWN AWAY! Her art work is as good as youll find anywhere and she gave me a tattoo thats even better than I was hoping for. Theres never even a question in my mind, when I need work done this is the only place Id even CONSIDER, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone, always have and always will.

Just got done my second appointment to get peirced by Codi. I can say i have never been more impressed by an artist than I was with her. Both times she walked me through what she was doing and showed my how she had everything set up before she even made a move to do my piercings. She was all smiles and that was nice. She is all about making sure her clients feel welcome and happy as well as comfortable. I can happily say that I will definitely be coming back when I want another one and lets face it I will.

I absolutely love Tattoo Mafia, the atmosphere, the people, the shop. The people are super friendly in there and make you feel like family. All of the artists are amazing, and I love all of their work. The shop is so clean and well kept which is super important for shops. And Codi!! I absolutely love her, in all my years of being pierced i have never found a piercer that i truly like and appreciate until now. Codi is an amazing person and you can tell that she really loves her job. She talks you through the process of the piercing, gives you all the information that you need to take care of your piercings. And always has a wide variety of jewelry on hand, and she really cares about her clients. And the migraine piercing is such an amazing thing, i got my piercing almost 6 months ago and have had only 1 migraine in those 6 months (: Its amazing. She is always wanting to learn new things and help out all her clients. And I love that! I ALWAYS recommend her to everyone when it comes to piercings. I would not send them anywhere else.Tattoo Mafia is the place to be. Worth every penny!

I went to Tattoo mafia to get my first tattoo done. They were able to get me in quickly and the price was better than several places that I had been too. I was very satisfied with the service I got. They were extremely clean and careful about how they worked. I was extremely thrilled with my tattoo. I had waited 12 years to get my first because I was worried about it not looking good, but it was better than I expected. When I was done I decided to get my nose pierced. Codi took great care of me. She sat me down and walked through the whole process of what she was going to do. Her work area is extremely clean and sanitary. All her instruments were sterilized and new in the package. The Septum is the most painful piercing I have had and it wasnt that bad. It was fairly quick. When she as done it looked great. It was through straight and I had have no issues with it afterwards. I have been back for two additional piercings and plan on several more along with more tattoos.

I just went to tattoo mafia today to get a conch piercing and it was the best experience ever. The person that did my piercing was Codi. She is a very fun energetic person and she makes you feel welcomed. She did I very good job on helping me breath so that the piercing would hurt less and it did. She made sure everything was super clean to avoid infections and did a great job about explain the aftercare process. If I get anymore piercing I know where to go.

Ive know Chris and Lisa for a long time. A friend and I had bad tattoo experiences elsewhere and were kinda just turned off to the whole profession, but we decided to give a couple shops a try. He made an appointment at one, but then called and cancelled. We then went for a 7:30 consult at the old shop in I want to say 2012, and its been a great friendship ever since. Im greeted with warm hugs in a completely friendly atmosphere. Their new shop is just the icing on the cake. With the addition of Codi, the shop manager and piercer and their new apprentices, it truly feels like a family! Ive had 7 tattoos done by Chris and yesterday got a piercing done by Codi. My friend travels from Colorado and is covered is Lisas work. I wont go anywhere else. They are completely sterile and Ive never had any issues with their work, just constant compliments. When youre there, youre family.

A week ago was my first time going to Tattoo Mafia. Ill first start off by talking about the shop.WOW. Talk about a nice, clean and professional shop. I felt absolutely no worries going into the shop. Which is a pretty big deal for me and most people. So clean and organized. It was a breath of fresh air to walk into this shop compared to most in the Dover area.The staff was friendly and awesome. I went in for a specific piercing, so I didnt talk to everyone, but they all greeted me when I walked in.I came to this shop to get pierced by Codi. ANYONE who needs a piercing, Codi is the girl to go to. SUPER friendly and professional. She not only has exceptional customer service, but she is incredibly knowledgeable about what she is doing. My piercings came out SO MUCH better than I had ever expected. The whole process was enjoyable. I wouldnt have wanted it any other way. No lie.. I had no other option than to rate my experience with Codi and the shop with a full 5 stars.HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended!

I went into Tattoo Mafia today to have piercings changed and was greeted like family! Cody is very professional at what she does! Would highly recommend her and Tattoo Mafia to everyone ! Very clean business and very professional!

Shop is clean and professional. Staff is very friendly with amazing work!

As soon as I walked into tattoo mafia I was greeted with a warm smile. I talked to Codi about me and some friends wanting piercings. She answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. My adrenaline started pumping and I got it done that day!!!! I cant wait for my friends to get theirs!!! She is absolutely amazing!!! Very pleased with the service from beginning till the end!!!

What can I say other than Chris, Lisa, and Curtis are the best. I have gotten two tattoos which were both done by Chris back in November of 2014 when they initially opened their new location. Since then I cannot even count how many compliments, comments and incredible remarks I have received on both of them. I have first hand seen all of their work and they all are truly artists in their profession. Not if but certainly when I go back for my next piece, The only place I will ever go back to is Tattoo Mafia for all of my work and it is the only place I would every recommend. Love you guys!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you again real soon for the next one. P.S. For all that may read this review please take a look at the photos, Im going to try and upload the work Chris did for me.

Anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, clean, and overall outstanding experience getting a tattoo, then this is the place! I had Chris do some ink on my forearm last Sunday and I have nothing but the best to say about the work he did or the time spent there in general. I would highly recommend Tattoo Mafia to anyone searching for a tattoo shop. I also look forward to getting additional work done in the future. Give the place a try and you wont be disappointed.

Amazing people only place I will go to for now on.

Ian did an outstanding job. cover up looks legit. also if youre looking for a great staff of people who like to make you laugh, this shop is deff for you. Nothing but good times and good vibes.

Got a piece to represent my daughter, Will Shulze was my artist and he was awesome! Easy on the pressure but quick to get me off that needle. Looks amazing and feels great!

Chris and Lisa are amazing people. Chris has been tattooing me for 5+ years now. Both members are very skilled and talented. Both are easy to get along with and will go the extra mile to give you what you are paying for. Tattoo mafia is not just a business, it is where artists and clients become close friends. Thank you guys for all the work you have provided for me and everyone else.

Everyone is so friendly and inviting, Ive known Chris and Lisa for years and theyre wonderful people. The piercer Codi is simply amazing, I met her when she sold jewelry at the mall and Ive loved her ever since. Shes probably the nicest person Ive ever met in my entire life. Love this shop and these people.

Great atmosphere top notche artist

I came across this place when researching online and saw many great reviews. My experience was above and beyond my expectations. Great staff, clean and professional studio, and a great price. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the customer service was great. My tattoo artist Emily really worked with me to make my vision come to life when creating the tattoo. Wonderful experience and Emily did an amazing job. If I ever want new ink in the future I will definetly be going here!

Ive know Codi for several years now and she is the only person I will have pierce me. So naturally, I follow her wherever she goes! I was pleasantly pleased when she moved to Tattoo Mafia. The shop is beautiful and smells clean and sterile like a hospital when you walk in. The atmosphere is insanely friendly and professional. I would highly suggest this shop for anyone seeking body modification. I havent been tattooed here, but I can speak from personal experience about the outstanding skill set, knowledge, precision and aura of comfort exhibited by Codi! 10 thumbs up!!

Codi is the most amazing, professional, and caring person and artist. She helped me and my husband tremendously through our piercings and jewelry purchases and went the extra mile to make us feel like family. I absolutely love this girl and would not let anyone ever do my piercings again besides her! She is AMAZING

Ive been going to Lisa for over 12 years. Her work is amazing and Tattoo Mafia is by far the cleanest tattoo shop in Delaware. The atmosphere is chill and they make you feel at home. I will never go anywhere else for new ink.

Probably the most helpful and professional tattoo shops I have visited in Delaware. Clean and extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!

I have had multiple tattoos from Chris, Ian, & Will I am super pleased in how they turned out! The shop is very clean, the staff is amazing! We had such a great time while there! Their work is amazing and will not going anywhere else! Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure that your needs are meant and you are super comfortable! We recommend Tatto Maffia to all our friends and family!Thanks again to everyone there!Tabatha Yates

I went to Will to get a tattoo at the Philly Tattoo Convention yesterday and everyone from this shop was amazing. They were all extremely welcoming and friendly. They were so helpful and I loved chatting to them. My tattoo artist Will was a great guy and he kept checking in on how I was doing while he was tattooing me. It was very reassuring that he genuinely cared and wanted to know if I was ok. Every step of the process was great. Will is really good at what he does and I love my new tattoo. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing or tattoo. Everyone I dealt with was lovely and down to earth. Will was also extremely efficient in making sure everything was of the utmost hygienic standard. Will cut no corners whatsoever in hygiene despite being on a tight schedule at the convention. His level of professionalism was above and beyond. And his artwork is beautiful. Thanks again Will! :)

Tattoo Mafia will be the only shop I go to for tattoos from now on. Recently between my wife and I, we have gotten three tattoos from here, done by Emily Graven. I couldnt be happier with the quality of not only the artwork, but also of the shop itself. Inside is very clean and inviting. The staff members are extremely tentative and kind. I highly recommend tattoo mafia!

Cleanest, most friendliest, and talented shop ive ever been! From the owner chris greeting me at the door, to the girl at the front desk offering me coffee, and the badass marvel sleeve i left with thanks to ian, i will continue to promote and praise this fine establishment to all who ask me! Quality done right

I got my daith done a week ago by Codi at tattoo mafia. Besides having my ears pierced as a young girl, this was my first tattoo. Codi did an excellent job! She made sure that I saw that all the equipment was new and sterilized. Initially the piercing didnt want to work right, Codi took the time and had patience to get it right and I greatly appreciate it. I would recommend her to anyone! She was a class act and you can tell she absolutely loves her job :)

The first time Ive been to the new shop! I was last tattooed by them 9 years ago! Chris is amazing! He did a memorial tattoo on me and it was exactly what I pictured in my mind! The shop is immaculate, top of the line equipment, great atmosphere and everyone has a great personality & is super friendly! I cant wait to go back! Money well spent! Thanks again Chris!

Have had several piercings done by Codi and couldnt be happier. She is Very professional, clean and respectful. The overall atmosphere of Tattoo Mafia is very welcoming and staff is beyond friendly! Keep up the great work! ️

Lisa, Chris, and Codi are the best. Not only are they awesome people but also amazing artist. Lisa has done all my tattoos and I couldnt be happier. She really took the time to design some amazing artwork and made sure I was 100% comfortable with the design before my first sitting. The shop is welcoming, super clean, and well designed. Tattoo Mafia is the place to go for your next tattoo and piercing...so thankful to have them in my area.

Codi was great! Very kind and professional with a warm smile. Her genuine personality made my experience great! The facility is very clean and it is a very relaxed atmosphere. I WILL be back! Thanks Codi!

Ive gotten work done by Chris and Lisa now for almost 11 years. They have always been professional, knowledgeable and damn good artists. Not to mention their impeccable cleanliness habits. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone interested in getting tattoo work done by this husband and wife duo, they really are great people!

Listen, this is the only place to go for tattoos. They are so far ahead of any hack shop that calls themselves a professional tattoo shop. They listen to you, they verify design, location, size, color. They watch body language. They react to your breathing pattern during the process. They treat their working environment like a hospital. Their level of detail from greeting to goodbyes is actually surprising and reassuring. I found myself envying them for being the masters of their domain and the leaders in their profession. Lisa was so focused on every tiny dot in my piece and was truly proud of birth of the original art she created for me. While everyone else is a garage band, these people are Elvis, the Rolling Stones and Prince all rolled up into one. My arm was Lisas Sistine Chapel. ...and they are ALL THAT GOOD ! But the best part was I became a member of the Codi Fan Club !! You will too, and your world will be a better place for it. And Emily is like the little sister I never wanted! Ya cant help but love her. Her skill is at the Picaso level, and she is growing that skill everyday. One day I will be able to say, I knew Emily when she didnt know she was THAT good. Your search is over. You found the place. Just make the appointment.

Tattoo mafia is definitely the best tattoo shop around. Extremely clean, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming to everyone who comes in and gets work done. The art they do is simply amazing

After getting my first tattoo here I will not get a tattoo anywhere else that does not match up to their standards. After seeing their professionalism, cleanliness, and astoundingly friendly environment. I will recommend tattoo mafia to anyone that wants a tattoo. My artist, Curtis, engaged in conversation and was thorough with every movement. I was comfortable and I am thankful that I chose tattoo mafia to take care of me.

I went to Tattoo Mafia this past week to get a 1.5mm nose piercing and Codi was extremely helpful and patient in answering my many questions! The piercing was quick and not very painful compared to my other piercings (I have a daith and ear cartilage piercing). The price was a little more than other shops I had looked at but thats just because everything is really sterile and clean! Smells like a hospital in there, haha! But if you ever need a piercing done, Id recommend Codi at Tattoo Mafia for sure!

Today I decided to get my belly re-pierced and I have to say that Codi is by far the best piercer Ive ever had. Shes very passionate about what she does and is committed to continue to learn everything she can about the art of piercing. Tattoo Mafia is very lucky to have her and I wouldnt go to anyone else. Shes so friendly and will definitely put a smile on your face!!!

Codi does such amazing work! Not only is she great at what she does but her spirit always lifts you. Every piercing I have ever gotten from her turned out amazing. I love bringing her new challenges. Id definitely recommend her to anybody looking to get a piercing : )

Greeted with a warm welcome...Curtis and Chris have both done tattoos on me and Codi has done 5 piercings. The shop is immaculate, all equipment is sterilized, with brand new needles that are shown to every client. Codi is compassionate, uses excellent technique in assisting clients with breathing through the piercings, knowledgeable about what piercings are proper for each persons anatomy, just overall the best. I will not let any other tattoo artist or body piercer touch me.
