Pete did an amazing job on my tattoo! I couldn’t be happier . The amount of detail he puts into his work is incredible. You will not be disappointed.
Happy with my piercings but felt very uncomfortable in the lobby. yes i’m aware that the blue stripe flag wasn’t intended to stand for bigotry, but in today’s social climate it’s become such. and because this establishment felt comfortable enough to have this proudly hung in their lobby, i questioned every employee’s morals. and didn’t feel exactly safe or relaxed while in their.
Shelbi was incredible doing my piercings. The atmosphere she sets makes you feel safe and welcome ❤
I saw Pete for a tattoo in 2019. It was a wonderful experience. He listened to what I was looking for, took in all my reference material and made it his own. Im super proud to have his work on my body and cant wait till I get my next piece from him later this year.
A few of my friends and family have been here, including myself, and I will only continue to come here if I want something done right. The prices reasonable and my tattoo and piercing both healed up wonderfully. The artists are great and friendly. Also, Larry is awesome 💉💯
@mommayattedtattoos Is such an great artist and genuine person. Her work is amazing and I always go to her each time. A lot of my friends go to her as well and she always makes me feel comfortable and welcomed.
Got piercings with my girls. Shelbi did a great job. Always come here for piercing and Alisha and Shelby are great.
I got my piercing done by Shelbi and she did amazing ✨didn’t feel a thanggggggg
Pete Torres animal and realism is amazing. Please ask for Pete if you want amazing animal realism with black and grey. You won’t ever be dissapointed by his amazing work, passion, care, and thoughtfulness. He is as good as it gets as goes beyond what anyone could ask for. Thank you sir
I made an appointment with alicia (a piercer there) and was able to get in the next day. She was running a valentines special, so I got 50% off. She was so fast and the piercing itself took 2-3 minutes max. They also seem very clean and up to par when it comes to covid procedures.
This review is about when I reached out to this shop regarding work I wanted done -I found this shop on Google, went to their website and noticed their podcasts on YouTube. I thought that was cool so I watched a couple of them. In the podcasts, they talked about why tattoo shops get bad reputations and why their shop breaks that stigma - I liked that. They also showcased a couple artists, one was about someone who loves lettering and I thought they sounded like someone I’d be interested in working with. They spoke about how important a receptionists job is at the shop because they are usually the first person you see when you go into the shop. I agree, receptionists job is very important.So I reached out via IG as it seems they conduct a lot of business through there. I messaged the person who does lettering first to discuss a tattoo I wanted covered up, and thought maybe they could do it and add some lettering on my leg because that was something they were interested in, but they informed me they don’t do cover ups and referred me to two people in the shop who do. That’s perfectly fine, so I said I would reach out to the main shop for my cover up inquiry, but still asked if they would be interested in doing some lettering on my forearm.So after that, I reach out to the shop’s IG about my coverup. I get a response rather promptly. They tell me they will talk with their boss about it, get some ideas and get back to me. That was April 8th. I haven’t heard back yet. But I did work out plans with the lettering person and they told me to call the shop the next day they were open to put my deposit down. So I called and told the person on the phone I was calling to place a deposit, and they put me on hold where I stayed for 10 minutes. So, disappointed, I hung up.I have to say what I heard on the podcasts sadly didn’t really match my experience. There was no follow up from anyone, so ultimately I feel like my business is not that important.
Alicia is my piercer and Pete is my tattoo artist. I love them!!!
@mommyyattedtattoos is the best, she fixed all my scars, & definitely serious about her art !
I had an amazing experience with Dominic! He was such a great guy! And his talent is one of the best in Dover! I told him I’m a fan of shading and detail, and I received NOTHING less than perfect. He took his time! And it is obvious he takes pride in his work. I cannot thank him enough for this BEAUTIFUL piece of art that is now on me forever!!🖤
Very Happy with my Tattoo. Thanks Dom
I came to this location with a simple request. I asked for a small mole tattoo on my cheek. It was done by someone name Mel. I thought it looked good when I left but I realized it wasnt as big as Id like, also it people were telling me it looked more like a scratch or scab that was going to fall off. I went back in a day or two later to get it bigger. She did advise that I would need to use my touch up appt. I mentioned to her during the visit that it looked more as a scab and did she think it would fall off, she told me no. Literally 3 days later, it fell off like a scab. Now Im annoyed and I call back to inform her. She says to wait two weeks to come back in so it will stay longer then says Ill have to pay again even though she basically didnt tat me to begin with. Literally all she had to do was fix her mistake. Very unsatisfied with the services and how they handled the issue.
I have seen friends go to Larry and he made the experience pleasant and memorable. He puts customers at ease. I decided to take my daughter to him to get her first tattoo and he made it so easy for her even though she was nervous. Thanks and she loves it!
I had a kind of unusual request, I wanted to get the eye color on an existing tattoo changed from green to blue. The gentleman named Dom was extremely helpful, the price was fair and the work was excellent. I looked at some of Doms work and he does amazing black and gray and custom lettering. Im definitely going to be going back and have some work done at artistic additions. I highly recommend new shop to anyone looking for a quality tattoo at a quality price
I came in & got my nose done by Shelbi, I was her first piercing and she was so good! she knew exactly what to do and she was so quick! I can never find a negative thing about Artistic Additions. Alicia & Shelbi will be the girls i go to for my piercings! 10/10 recommend.
When I saw my tattoo, I just thought wow it was her first time doing a face tattoo, but she nailed it...over all the environment was clean and well kept...my artist was Gracie..and Im definitely coming back to her
My first time ever going and I had a great time and my tattoo was amazing will definitely go back.
Alecia is the best
I’ve been here for tattoos and piercings. Every time I’ve been happy with the work they’ve done. Definitely have a loyal customer
Got my 4 and 7 year old kids ears pierced. They were super nice, everyone was so accommodating. I also had been there previously to get my wedding ring tattooed on and again they were all very nice. Good prices and very clean.
Words cannot describe how happy I am with this studio. I got mycheeks pierced there and never an issue. I was pierced by Larry and his tattoo work is beautiful. I talked to him about two pieces I want done and his prices are great! Everyone there is so nice and fun to talk to.
Great experience, really good prices, good jewelry selection! I had Alicia (not sure on the spelling of her name) pierce my upper lip, aka the Medusa, and she did an amazing job. Quick, very professional and accommodating. Very very happy with my choice of going to Artistic additions! If Im back in the area I will definitely be stopping by again. 😁
Best tattoo place Ive ever been to. Super clean and, I have been four of the artists, all of which were very professional, clean, and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone, as this is my only shop I go to.
I have been here on multiple occasions and EVERY time I leave pleased with not only the piece of art I’ve been given but the service during the process. In order to fit me in in a timely manner Pete opened up an hour early! Pete is quick but accurate and nothing but professional. Pricing is never an issue and are inexpensive paired with the quality you get! But not so inexpensive that they’re done cheaply or with error. The shop is always clean and sanitary and you get privacy. I’ll be back again once this ones healed up!
Very friendly and clean! Didnt get a tattoo but piercing. She was amazing and explained the process fantastically!
I have 6 tattoos and all done by them. Dom had done my very first tattoo and still looks new after 4 years! Larry has done a major part of my tattoos and Im never disappointed, I leave there everytime with something better than I would thought. They go above and beyond. Mel had done one of my tattoos recently and she killed it! I trust her word and whatever she wanted to do and I was blown away with how amazing it is. Alicia has done 8 piercings on me, they have all healed so good and so fast; she is clean, will explain all precautions there could be, how to take care of it, give ideas, and fast at piercin . the best part, ALL of them are welcoming, non-judgemental, always up for a challenge and open to any and every idea. They dont disappoint.
Ive gotten my sleeve and a couple other tattoos done by Larry who is the owner of the shop. He does nothing but make you feel like youre part of his family. He treats the staff with respect and they keep the shop clean. Hands down the only place I go to for tattoos and iv gotten a couple from other places and they were okay but the artists just made it quick and moved on. I would definitely stop by this place!
Used to love getting work done by Larry. BUT THEN... I got work done by Pete. It was okay. Until he tried to charge me $50 to touch up an outline piece of work that took literally 2 minutes. If he wouldve done it right the first time.. or second time.. it wouldnt need touched up. Had 2 touch ups and a piercing scheduled... ended up going elsewhere. BOTTOM LINE.... treat your repeat customers good... and theyll keep coming back. Be unfair.. and you lose said customers AND get a bad review. Oh.. and this may have turned out different if he didnt wait until the day of my appointment to decide he wanted to charge me. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.
My son got ear piercing here. They used needle instead of staple kind of thing.They were good and kind. They also selling after piercing sea salt spray here.
I love this shop so much, they are so clean/professional & not to mention amazing at what they do! Ive been tattooed by Ray & Larry & all experiences I have had were amazing! Walking into the shop is like walking into a different world, its definitely the place to go, I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a new tat/piercing!
Just got my first Tattoo done by Larry. All the staff was friendly and helpful. The shop looks very professional and clean, and I absolutely love the tattoo. I will definitely be going back when I want another, and will recommend to my friends.
Stopped in for a bit of Ink. Pete stayed late to fit us in. He was very helpful & a wonderful artist. The waiting area is comfortable with overstuffed couches & a Keurig! Very Nice atmosphere. We WILL be returning. 😉
Professional clean and kind I would highly recommend
Had my first tattoo here on my rib cage. It was done extremely well. Larry is an amazing tattoo artist. Thanks again.. ill be back
Fantastic shop, A++. Friendly staff, great artists. Family members and I love all of our work done here, Larry is a wonderful guy. I highly recommend Artistic Additions to anybody looking for a clean, professional place to get tattooed or pierced.
We took our daughter to have her ears pierced. Clean and friendly. Quick piercing.
Love my tattoo. Larry added more details to my anklet tattoo, than I requested. But I love the finish product.
Pete is amazing! Great work, exactly what I wanted.
Great shop!!! Got my very first tattoo done here 2 weeks ago. Will definately be back for more. The staff made you fell welcomed and comfortable. Highly recommend them!!
I’ve had four tattoos done here and they are all Awsome, Ray is the old school and my wife and I are very satisfied with the great work he has done . My daughter had work done by Larry, great place strongly recommend!
Alicia did a good job with my industrial piercing
Place is amazing cant remember the guy that did my tattoos today but he did an amazing job when I come back I will definitely be threw again would recommend this place to anyone they take there time drawing up designs and making sure your happy with everything and you cant beat the prices 5 stars hands down
Went in to talk to the guy, told him Id be back to discuss designs, came back and was told to wait. A group came in and they were helped immediately. Even emailed them and got no response. Plenty of other tattoo places in the area
Very polite staff. Piercing Girl was patient with my crazy self lol. Loved it. Will be returning soon😍😍😍😍
Went into the shop after I had been admiring some of the artists wotk for a while. I advised the receptionist that this would be my first tattoo, preferbly on back, the spine area. I requested the artist who I had been following on social media. The receptionist was very welcoming. She set me up with a date and time after we discussed my employment conflict. I gave her my phone that she could show the male artist the tattoo I was interested in. About 2 minutes later, she came over to me and said that the artist I requested will not be able to my tattoo because it is his birthday that day. She then said, he suggested another artist to me because that is not his speciality. She claimed that the other artist is more detailed. At this point, Im like seriously? I even heard the recetionist say to the artist that the client requested you. ALL I WANTED WAS A SIMPLE VINE DOWN MY SPINE, no coloring or shading! So I told the receptionist I will wait because I need to do some more research, I dont want just anyone doing my tattoo. The other artist came and over and talked to me, showed me his work and gave me his card but he really didnt seem like he wanted to do my tattoo either. As a matter of fact, I even said would you suggest being as though this is my first time, would you suggest another part of body to place the tattoo? And he said no, youre fine. I am extremely disgusted with the artist that I requested because I had been admiring his work through social media and when I finally had the opportunity to visit the shop, I was lied to, turned down and passed to another artist.
Friend got a tattoo done here and I went with her, the place is clean and well run from what I could tell. Would recommend.
Great experience
Clean and nice plenty of washers and dryers and a lot of room to fold
Super clean, extremely knowledgable and friendly staff.
Larry does great work!!! His tattoos are beautiful!! His work is like no other.
If you’ve been tattooed by and looking for Ray I’ve moved to Walls of Wonder tattoo shop a few blocks away. Give me a call or send chat on google + or on Facebook Custom Tattoos by Ray Eleazar.
Quick, clean n easy piercings
Great place to get a tattoo! Friendly staff and they do a professional job
Great place tto go if you want tattoo loud rap music and drugs.
Great quality work and good and friendly artists.
This place should be shut down.......5 cases of mrsa.........3 cases of staff infection.......look it up is u dont beleive me.........
Larry is a fantastic artist!
If you want a place to get a tattoo that looks like you had it done in a house this is the place for you. Line work is bad, no detail in the art. Just look at their online artist profile. The Harley Quinn looks like she has downs.
Love the work and staff
Great work done for a friend.
Larry did my tattoo covering another. Of the same. Only adding color.. Messed up. Added some stuff. Went in to get some stuff fixed and he asked me whats wrong?? A tattoo artist knows looking at it. Not having to have someone tell him. So I left. Wont go back. And everyone who asks me where I got it done. I tell them. And tell them I wont go there again.
2nd time there very professional
Was wanting to go but didnt
Great place
