    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. Do yourself a favor and get pierced by Megan (walk-ins are allowed for piercings). Buy some saline solution here, tip generously, and walk away being a more decorated and shiny version of yourself.

I have never once had a bad experience. The piercers here are professional and great to interact with, the front desk peeps are amazing, and the shop is spotless. When I last came in it was with my sister to get her nose repierced and I wanted to see if my septum was still open. Our piercer was phenomenal. Luckily my septum was still open and he just had to put the hoop in - within about a week it felt normal again. My sister had a rougher time and almost passed out but the piercer was so nice. He was patient and talked her through it, gave her time to recover and caprisuns. We were both really well taken care of. I will mention that they require you to use their jewelry at first, which can be pricey. But the pieces are really solid quality and there is definitely a range in price. They do take walk ins and appointments both, which is pretty rad.

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.

I received serval emails and texts to confirm the appointment, including one the morning of. I showed up to my appointment only to be told the piercer would not be in for another hour and a half. She casually shrugged off the appointment saying I could wait or come back another time but the piercer isn't usually in this early (12pm). Why make appointments for when they don't have a piercer?! She said I could come any time though because "they take walk-ins". But do they? Because they certainly wouldn't have been able to accommodate any walks in for the next hour and a half till their piercer came in. When I expressed my displeasure at them not showing up for an appointment she made it seem like it was a common issue. She seemed to not care in the slightest to have wasted my time. Before leaving I went to look at their jewelry to double check they had the ones online I found. They did, but the price changed from $50 online to $80 in stores. The employees response was "yeah, our website is old and needs to be updated." That was the nail in the coffin of potentially coming back. They won't have my service, not that I think they care at all. I will also strongly urge everyone I know to not even contemplate going there. Very poor business and lack or service. Waste of time.
