I had the absolute best experience with the piercer Sean. He has pierced my monroe, tongue & nose! As well as many of my friends since the experience was so wonderful. First of all I can give him the biggest compliment that my tongue never swelled and he explained to me most people will baby their new piercing.. that is the wrong thing to do because it is a muscle and the more you "work the muscle" the easier the healing process is. I thank him SO much for the advice. My tongue was fully healed in about 2 weeks. He pierced my nose with a silver hoop because I had issues with a stud (from a different piercer before). I also had no issues my nose piercing. The shop is ALWAYS super clean & sanitary. Also, he is very quick and makes the process go by very smoothly. I recently moved and am struggling to find a piercer as sufficient as him. so a HUGE thank you to him!! and definitely the biggest recommendation I could ever give.

i got my first tattoo done here for my 16th birthday. i decided to get my name done in old english font on my top left shoulder. i guess since this was such a easy tattoo the artist gave it his apprentice for practice. .......big mistake. the out line was good, but his destroyed my skin on the shading. i have huge scars on the inside of some of my letters from him digging into my skin. that aside the place is cool and clean, but specifically ask for one of their professionals to tattoo you....DONT LET THEM PASS IT OFF NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE JOB IS!!

I didnt like some tribal that was done on my left arm. Met with Toby, he transformed the tattoo into something Im extremely proud of. I made a follow up appt to add onto another tribal piece I have on my right arm. I really liked the art that I had, and wanted to expand it, he exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. I thought my tattoo was cool before I went, but now its a masterpiece. I bet if I were to enter the tattoos hes done for me in a competition, theyd win with out a doubt. Cant wait for my next appt!

I recently took my gf to Explosive Tattoos. We were met with a pleasant greeting. However, the same guy did a 180 and quickly became obnoxious, intolerable, off-putting and foul. He kept telling my gf thats shes selfish for wanting a tattoo to face a direction he didnt agree with. I was really disappointed because he ruined what was supposed to be a memorable experience. Dont waste your time.

I dont know about you, but I take getting tattooed seriously. After all, it is an investment that lasts forever. Each artist brings their own unique talents to the table, the vibe is great, and they strictly follow all requirements to ensure the health/safety of their customers. I love this place. Ive posted a few pics of my sleeve (all work done by Toby) below.

I got my first tattoo done and belly piercing here and let me tell you they were awesome! One they made the experience so much easier and they had me laughing the whole time! They were sweet gentle funny and gave clear explanations about how to care for my tat and piercing. If you ever go ask for jimmi or toby! Their work rocks!!!

Awesome experience! I had my navel piercing done here by Erik. He made the whole experience pleasant and answered all my questions. Very friendly service and place was very clean! Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get piercings! Update: just got my helix done here. Same great service :)

I went there to get my belly pierced! & they did an awesome job gave me papers on how to take care of my belly piercing & how many times a day the manager was the one who did it I was very nervous at first but honestly he relaxed me and it all went well. Going back to get my noise pierced next weekend.

I been around to a couple of tatto places and this is a great place. But the only thing is is thats they dont do a good job due to how much the ruch. It seames likle they dont really care about the work to much either due to how sloppy my tat was done here

Very nice atmosphere and nice people! Got a few piercings changed out here. I have yet to try out the tattoo side but I will shortly and update you guys on my experience. Also I never have to wait long! They are always fully staffed and professional.

They were really nice when I went and got my septum pierced but when I just went to just get my piercing changed it was 20 mins before they close and they said no and wouldnt let me in even though the door said 9 and there were people inside. Not cool.

The shop as a whole is clean, the staff is knowledgeable, and the prices are good. My fiancée and I have both gotten tattoos from Alicia. Her attention to detail and eye for color make for excellent tattoos, and she is a pleasant person to sit for.

Went in to get a longer bar for one of my body piercings. I was sold a "titanium" piece of jewelry that ended up not being titanium. I was lied to and as a result I had to deal with a severe allergic reaction that almost lost me my piercing.

Absolutely love this place, dont let their sense of humor through you off. The only place Ill come to. I tried to go somewhere and was unsatisfied compared to explosive tattoo. Plus they do walk ins on Saturdays, make you get there early.

Such a great experience! Im visiting Delaware with my cousin and decided to get a helix piercing. Erik did the piercing and he was phenomenal! We chatting with him and Toby and had such a great time! HIGHLY recommend them!

I got my nose pierced for my Birthday Sept. 9 and Erik did a great job on it! Talked me through it, explained things in detail and he is hilarious!. Made me comfortable, i plan on going back my 18th for a belly piercing.

I went here to have my nose pierced and its a great place! The staff was friendly and CJ, who did my piercing, put me at ease and placed it in exactly the right spot. I definitely plan to go back for my next tattoo.

Alisha Thompson

Great experience. I wanted a tattoo worked between two other tattoos and Toby exceeded my expectations. They answered all questions and concerns. I will be back and would recommend them.
