TATTOO MAFIA, INC. Tattoos and Body Piercing

First, thanks to Ian for executing my vision perfectly.nnChris 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.nnIan's 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 can't believe how well it came out. I owe all of that to Ian.nnI 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!!!

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.

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 there's still a stencil outline on the sun.

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.nnAlyssa 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.nnRobert 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.nnI 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 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 couldn't have been more consoling, funny, and professional. I will Definelty be coming back for more work.. Rock on Tattoo Mafia!!!!
