    'Listen to your heart' in Italian with 9/2019 (when I was here) and the lily is the country's flower.

    While in Rome, my boyfriend and I got tattoos here and they were amazing. They spoke English very well, they communicated with us via email after setting our appts to get a better idea of what we wanted and the staff was all just so friendly and talented. We both love our tattoos, and we are more than pleased. If you're in Rome and like me, you wanted the memory to last forever, I reccomend getting a tattoo here.

    It's a wrap around tattoo and can't get it all in one shot, but here's a piece.

    Was on vacation and decided to get a tattoo. Messaged them through YELP and the owner replied really fast and scheduled me. I arrive and Simona hand draws my tattoo and goes to town on my wrist and made a beautiful piece. And it only took her 45 minutes. Definitely recommend Simona and the rest of the staff.

    While I'm Rome on vacation I decided I wanted to get a tattoo to remember my trip by. I looked on yelp through many different tattoo businesses and came across Sweet Mamba's Shop. I look through all of the pictures and ratings and felt that this place would be the best place to get a tattoo! I walked in and was greeted immediately, I told the girl at the front what I wanted and she quickly had the design ready to go and it was exactly what I wanted. Before you know it Antonio was setting up and quickly finished my tattoo. He was definitely a perfectionist as he went over a couple times to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. My overall experience was wonderful! Thank you everyone at Sweet Mamba! I love my tattoo!!

    Life is beautiful.  Thanks again Simona!

    My wife and I where just in Rome earlier this week. We each have several tattoos so getting another one wasn't new. However, getting one in a different country by an artist we hadn't worked with before was new. Before going to Rome, we were looking for a design that would be a tribute and reminder of our trip. Not having anything in mind, I was looking for something that would be related to Italy, but I didn't want an Italian flag or something too common. We knew we wanted to get it in Rome because that was our last stop so, that is where my research began. On Yelp I came across a comment and picture of a tattoo of Michael Angelo's touching hands. I really liked it because of how detailed it was with an added flair by encircling the hands. This was done by an artist named of Simona Petrux at Sweet Mamba in Roma. I reached out to Sweet Mamba and made arrangements before we left the US to meet on a certain day and time. The owner was the one I communicating which made it quite easy. As it turns out, once we arrived all the staff were great and easy to work with. The shop was clean and inviting. By the time we actually made it to the shop my wife had come up with a totally different and original design. As soon as we showed it to Simona she put a bit of her own touch to it and we were off. Like I stated above, tats were not new to either my wife or me. However, we were both AMAZED at how neither of us felt a thing during the whole application. Simona is not only a great artist in her field, but she has a great touch as well. In conclusion, you want some ink work while in Rome, go see Simona at Sweet Mamba! It's painless!

    Simona Petrux did a beautiful job on both mine and my husbands tattoos on our trip to Rome! Everyone in the shop is welcoming and professional! It's a very clean environment and I would highly recommend a visit!!

    Beautiful piece, crafted by Simona Petrux

    Getting a tattoo felt like a daunting task as an international traveler in an unknown city and also with almost no understanding of the language. With that said, this parlor treated me so well! They were patient, helpful, and provided an excellent service. Simona Petrux created an excellent piece of art that I cherish so much! Thanks to her and the team at Sweet Mamba.

    !!BRING CASH PAYMENT THEY WILL NOT TAKE CARD!!…read more This place was an experience I can barely put into words. We messaged them through Yelp and got an appointment for the same day (I have a feeling they do a lot of spontaneous tourist appointments). The girl at the front desk was working on her own tattoo designs and ushered us into a comfortable and well-decorated waiting room. They have an €80 minimum and I got my first tattoo (approximately 3" across) for €100 (way cheaper than back in the States!) plus tip (which I know isn't as much of a thing here but seemed appropriate considering the circumstances) and a more experienced friend of mine got hers (5"?) with shading for €130. The shop was clean and hundreds of designs were displayed on the walls. If you aren't getting tattooed they ask that you stay in the front area but will allow one guest for the person getting a tattoo. But the artist- MATTEL- was just fantastic. He was professional but also acted as a friend- he spoke less English than the girl at the counter but was so helpful and reassuring and held excellent conversation. They were absolutely blasting some classic rock in the back which was appreciated and a good distraction to be honest. They sell the tattoo soap and cream in the store for a little extra and included some fun stickers. However, THEY ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENT IN CASH!!! Bring it ahead of time or the girl at the front will walk with you to the nearest ATM to watch you withdraw it. Overall an irreplaceable experience- I'm very pleased.

    Simone and staff were great. Everyone from locals to a couple tourists walking in were treated…read morewell. Liking this shop! Simone is a talented artist who can execute the most perfect tattoo. When in Rome you can trust Jay Lester.

Staff is professional and engaging all spoke English A bit on the pricey side but I admit this was my second tattoo so not a lot of experience in the tat world! Well worth it to me thank you! And the vibe was very hipster

    We had just finished up a coliseum tour and my daughter wanted to see about getting a tattoo, at…read morethis establishment. She knew this place allowed walk-ins. We walked in and were greeted by two ladies at a reception desk. This place gives more art gallery than tattoo parlor. Gone are the cheesy heats with daggers and mom tattoos, on the walls, replaced with original paintings. We knew what we both wanted, the two ladies were really helpful. They were full this particular day but they were able to scheduled appointments for us at 11:30, the next day. $50 deposit, industry standard, was required to book the appointment. They do give you an estimate of time price for each tattoo. Saturday morning we show up, I meet with the tattoo artist, Giorgia. I just wanted a simple green, grape leaf tattoo. I had a picture of the leaf. She goes in back, to work on the piece. We talk about maybe doing more of a fall color for the leaf, From green to yellow and green edges of the leaf to a reddish tinge. The Giorgia asked to use color for the stem instead of black ink. I agree, she's the artist in the canvas. We start and this is my 11th tattoo, I've never seen anyone work like this. It was more like a painting than a tattoo. She layered color and shaded colors. Then end result is stunning. I couldn't be more happy. So glad we came here.
