    Pink flamingo

    We got a flamingo tattoo in honor of our mother who just passed and we got it done by the resident artist Cassie. She did a perfect job and the line work is delicate and exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!

    Kind - Quick - Super Kid Friendly ! Our son is stoked with his first ear piercing ! Great shop !! The owner was friendly and a super nice guy ! You can tell he cares about his service ! Thanks so much for taking things at a perfect pace for him to get brave !

    Got my second lobe piercing. My friend got helix and 3rd lobe piercings (other side too).

    Found this spot with a quick search and was pleasantly surprised! I'm greeted immediately by the owner (Keith, I think) and offered water. I loved how organized/clean everything was and prices were listed right up front for piercings, which is what I was in for. They are super reasonable prices! My piercer Taylor did amazing! I got a second lobe piercing while my friend got two lobes and a helix. Taylor was professional and asked me questions before piercing me, making it comfortable for me to adjust the spot she marked in case I didn't like it (I didn't need to adjust cause she got it on the first try). My friend and I were done and out within our lunch break. We will definitely be back for more piercings.

    When it comes to high quality tattoos and body modifications (Piercings) Ink Mafia Tattoo is my Go-To. They have multiple Artist That Are Good At Different Things and their Piercers Abbey and Katie are Prestigious. Drew is great at custom Realism, Color Realism, Cybersigilism/Neo Tribal, Dark Art, Lettering, Chicano, Horror, Fineline etc. Paul is amazing at Stipple Art, Mandala, Sacred Geometry, Fineline, Black & Grey, Lettering, Realism, Japanese, Neo-Tribal etc. Cassie is Great at Neotraditional, Animals, Flowers, Fineline etc. Their New line-up is the best it's ever been. Stop in and book an appointment, it will be the best decision you've ever made. They don't disappoint.

    Did a walk in. Everybody was so friendly and nice. It's very clean inside. My artist, Izzy, definitely took her time with my tattoo to ensure that everything was set and that I liked it before tattooing.

    My friend and I got matching tattoos here yesterday. We LOVE the results. We got Painted Lady Butterflies done at the same time. I got mine (pictured left) from Brad, and my friend got hers (pictures right) from Keith. Both Keith and Brad were very nice, respectful, and knowledgable. The business is very clean. Will be back for another tattoo in the future.

    The atmosphere is super welcoming and laid-back, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Matt is incredibly talented. His attention to detail and artistry is top-notch. My piece has exceeded my expectations. He takes the time to listen to your ideas and bring them to life in the most amazing way. From the moment I walked in, I was treated like a long-time friend. I definitely will be returning for more pieces.

    i've been here before and my piercer was izzy with my bridge; she did a great job so i decided to go back again since it's right next door to p.p. i first thought i'd get pierced with izzy again but she was busy doing tattoos for a group so keith was my piercer this time. super cool and down-to-earth person and was very meticulous on the placement lol! was also able to do my request of wanting spikes which was nice too. they came out PERFECT and i am sooo happy!!! next time i go to p.p i will also go next door to get something else pierced lol. my new go-to piercing place #^^#/

    My sister and I had great piercing experiences with Izzy. She was professional and gave great suggestions. Izzy was very patient and understanding of our nervousness. We will be back for more! Thank you Izzy!

    My friends and I were visiting from California and found ink masters looking for a last minute tattoo and we fell in love with this place! Roy was so helpful on the phone, getting us set up for our appointment as well as in shop making sure we had water and little candies. we all got our tattoos done by Haley and they came out beyond perfect, everyone was impressed by her perfect fine lines and we even recommend our family that lives out here to visit her if they're looking as well we're definitely gonna be visiting again next time when we're in town((: thank you guys again for giving us the best just comfortable experience

    I had a great experience with ink mafia . Taylor did a great job with piercing and talked me through everything. I felt a light headed at one point but she stayed calm ,turned on a cool fan and reassured me that sometimes it happens . I would 10/10 recommend this shop and would go back if I ever wanted to get pierced again .

    Second time there. First for nose piercing and second for a very detailed tattoo. Keith did a great job on what I wanted and it was not easy at all. Will be going back for my other my other tattoos

Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles. I came here on May 17th to get a hidden helix piercing to match my lil sis on the OCA team, Wendi K. (Go add her! She's Seattle's sweetheart). That and I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look cool. Megan was my piercer and everything went well. I chose a fun dangly 14k gold piece for my piercing as I know from a previous cartilage piercing that I need a more hypoallergenic metal. And while my ear anatomy doesn't quite make the piercing fully hidden, I'm happy with it. I'm glad to have had the consultation with Megan prior so I knew what I was getting myself into.

I would not get a nose piercing from here and I wish I would've gone somewhere else.

This spot came highly recommended from friends but mostly my trusted niece. She came here to get her eyebrow piercing and raved about their services. With several locations, we preferred the Tempe location. Super easy to schedule an appointment online and quick forms to complete before your appointment. I opted to get my nose pierced and potentially two more ear piercings. The selection of jewelry varies from affordable to really high end solid gold. The receptionist was so knowledgeable and wonderful at making suggestions for my choices. Love her style and she was spot on in matching my vibe. I loved being able to mix my metals of gold, silver and rose gold. For me, I wanted higher quality and fashionable pieces so my total was over $700 with the piercings and jewelry. They also had MDW sale discount of 20% but that eventually went as my tip to my piercer Josh. He is super cool and very thorough. Made me feel comfortable and laughing. My niece had Aubrilynn and loved her. As for the piercing, it is not painful at all. If you can take waxing or plucking, it's easy peasy! There is a little soreness on my left ear but it went away after treating myself to Taiwanese pancakes and jelly tea. You should purchase the saline solution to keep your piercings clean. Accessories are the exclamation point to your outfit. So if you're up for it, get pierced here with any of their incredible staff. To me, overdressed is a myth invented by those who have never been fabulous.

We not only spend our money on tattoos here, but piercings and jewelry! I would also like to think I'm a good tipper cause I like to take care of people that take care of me. My daughter got her helix pierced here and the piercing was great. The piercer was great, but we invested an expensive piece of jewelry and the stone fell out. This was a minor frustration as stuff like this can happen, but unfortunately it was not communicated to us that they would have the jewelry for months. It was communicated to us that it would be weeks. They changed out my daughter's earring putting a non-gold earring in her ear, causing her ear to keloid. Upon calling the shop, they let me know that they didn't have any records of us, dropping off the jewelry. Again, a minor annoyance. But where the frustration begin is whoever the young lady was that took the call. I believe she said she was the shop manager. Argued with me up and down about the keloid accusing my daughter is not taking care of her piercing. I assured her that my daughter was taken care of for her piercing, that she did not have a keloid before changing the earring as well as keloiding is a common issue within minorities anybody with melanin that would come from changing the earring before the healing process. She insisted on arguing with me up and down and letting me know that this had nothing to do with the shop that their jewelry is body safe it was all about how we were taking care of the piercing and she went on and on. I let her know that I was the consumer and unfortunately, although she might be highly educated in some of these subjects, she does not know everything and if she doesn't have any melanin in her body, how could she possibly understand keloids and perhaps she should educate herself a little further on them. I told her I didn't wish to debacle with her anymore and if the shop director could just call me, I would appreciate it and I hung up. A few days later, the Director called me in which she was very nice very understanding and validated all my concerns. she told me that they were having an earring shipped to the shop to replace my daughter's. This was now at least 2-3 weeks ago, have not heard anything from the shop. I'm not getting return calls and still have no answers on where my daughter's expensive earring has gone or a replacement. It's super unfortunate because I really enjoy all the people at club tattoo. The piercers are amazing. The artists are amazing and quite honestly I've never had a bad interaction there up until this one. It's always very clean Smells great and is normally a 10 out of 10 experience unfortunately due to how unprofessional this experience has been I honestly am not sure if I will continue to use club tattoo.

We arrived at 10:02am and was asked to go shopping for ten minutes as they hadn't set up yet. I should have listened to my gut and not gone back. We went back and 2 out of the four were incorrectly pierced on a downward angle and right/downward angle on both of her left side. Our daughter is too afraid to remove the helix piercing to have it redone but has removed the lobe piercing so it can heal to be redone correctly in a month. No manager reached out on that day or the day after Thanksgiving until I called to complain. Apparently protocol is to have an available manager reach out the same day. Sage had not told anyone until after I called. This is a very unprofessional outfit. Make sure you ask how long the "piercer" has pierced ears and ask if any issues with anyone prior. Sage told us after the fact she had done the same thing before on thtee other occasion's all on the left side. Our fault for not asking prior. It's definitely worth the drive to go to Chandler Mall, apparently there are two locations there. It's where we previously went where we had no issues. Unfortunately we live further away from that location. Learning curve for us is to do due diligence in future.
