Would not Recommend this shop to anyone going for an ear piercing. Went in a 2 days ago to get my Ear lobes pierced for the first time everything went ok when getting it done but being it was my first time getting this done didn't know to much of what it really entails. When I went in they did not have any choices on earrings but one type of "bar" piercing to use. After piercing was done same day I was just sitting around and the front end ball just fell off was able to screw it back on until next day the back end fell off that when I realized it was cheap hardware. Then come today when I went to fix the back end the whole bar just pulled out leaving my ear SWOLLEN and BLEEDING. Pissed off I went to a different shop to get it fixed immediately. What I learned in this shop showed me how inexperienced and cheap this shop is for piercings. For starters the Bar that was used in my ear wasn't even for a lobe piercing it was NIPPLE!! piercing Hardware and it was made out of cheap metal. Secondly aftercare recommendation from this shop was totally off and do not recommend following what they say.
Overall 0/5 stars if I could. Left my ear swollen and bloody. Will not be going back!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jessica C.Georgetown, DE065Sep 4, 2021
Got a finger tattoo from here, the building didn't smell as nice, but the tattoo performance was excellent.

Rude AF upon walking in. No eye contact, fake busy, no clients in shop. Asked questions, but answers were hard for him. Why would anyone get art on their body by such a dick.

DO NOT GET A PIERCING HERE. I got a double helix piercing 3 months ago at Electric Tiger, and the piercer was very polite and seemed knowledgeable (so I thought). It wasn't cheap but I believed I was paying more to get the piercing done right. However, my piercing was not healing. Furthermore, the balls on the piercing ends kept falling off.
The second time one of the balls fell off I went to a new piercing shop to get a new earring put in. The new shop informed me that new helix piercings should never be done with a curved barbell because it places stress on the ear at an angle which disrupts the healing process. When I showed the new shop the jewelry they said, I quote, "did you get this done at a shop? they should never have charged you more than $10 for this jewelry". When she saw my ear she said "I can't believe someone did this to your ear." My piercings were so messed up that I have to let them close up. The new piercer (at the other shop) informed that because of the poor piercing job, they would never heal right.
So that was a waste of $100 as well as 3 months of pain and healing. Moral of the story: Please find a shop that uses quality jewelry with a straight barbell and a flat back for proper healing for helix piercings. The Electric Tiger had 1 single type of jewelry and did not warn me that it was not proper for new piercings. Needless to say I will never go there again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bob M.MD, MD472Nov 15, 2020

Two of my GFs and I spent Memorial Day Weekend in Rehoboth last year and after admiring some of their work on new friends we met while we were there, we popped in this parlor on our way out of town.
We were greeted warmly and were all three able to get something that very same day. We all had the same artist, I wish I still had his card so I could give him a proper shout-out... but he was awesome!
I'm currently in the process of planning my next piece and wish it were closer--I had such a wonderful experience here I would come back immediately if it were!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gabriele N.Rockville, MD115Apr 18, 2019
Thankfully I read the glowing reviews for this shop and went there. Dez was my artist and he gave me a beautiful new tattoo and also fixed an old one from another shop. He was gentle and explained everything but mostly he was super polite and friendly. Getting tattoos (and I have eleven already) can be intimidating and not every artist is super friendly. Dez is awesome and I'm definitely returning.

I was greeted with such polite and friendly staff and was helped right away. DEA was my artist and worked well with what I wanted and what I imagined. I was definitely happy with the outcome of the design and he was really attentive to detail and my pain. It was my first tattoo so he was really gentle and patient with me. Loved my experience and I definitely would recommend!!!

Rehoboth is a special place for us. So it was only appropriate we got our first tattoos here. Dez greeted us with such patience and kindness. We knew this was the place. They are super clean , have great work ethic and patient with everything. We had made our deposit days before and even though we were an hour late due to weather and traffic. They were able to accommodate us. Get there early because the lines stay forming. Matt did an excellent job with my tat and added his own flair. One thing I can tell you is don't micro manage. Know exactly what you want then let the artist do their thing. We will cherish ours forever , literally forever. Will be back next year for another one hopefully.
