My 3 friends and I came in toward the end of the day and David kindly squeezed us all in before ending walk-ins for the day. My friend nearly passed out and he was so professional about it- gave her chocolate frosting and water until she was better. Our piercings look great, really nice guy. I’ll definitely be going back :)

Dave was fantastic and patient helping me put together a second tattoo and got every detail.Rachel was smooth and very focused.I recommend American Art Tattoo.Call first.

I got a tattoo here in December of 2020. I got a fairy on my wrist area, and had a reference picture. They told me that I couldn’t get the size I wanted because the details would be lost, but even with the tattoo being so much bigger than I wanted, there are no details. I think I was tattooed by the apprentice because when I had been in the shop before, she looked to be tattooing a friend for experience. The lines were messy, way too thick, and very uneven. I took bad care of it in after care because I WANTED the ink to fall out so I could get it salvaged by a more experience artist somewhere else. I feel like I got taken advantage of because I’m a young girl and I went in without an adult. I was charged $100 and they wanted to charge me even more but I said my budget was $100. Honestly really disappointing because my family had been coming here for years and they did my first two tattoos, but I’ll never come here again because of how bad this tattoo turned out. They offer free touch ups but after seeing how the original came out, I don’t trust them to do a better job with a touch up.

I had my belly button pierced by David last week. The studio was very clean, tech used a new needle that he opened in front of me and I did not feel any pain. He was very friendly and professional! I felt comfortable and trusted him with my first piercing. It looks amazing too and after one week of having it, I have no pain or swelling. Thank you so much, David! You were great!

*piercing review*I got my tragus pierced for my birthday. Service was absolutely amazing! The entire process took very little time, and was done so well. The staff was amazing as well. I love my new piercing! I will definitely be coming back for some new piercings and will looking forward to getting my first tattoo here.

*Piercing Review*Dave is very professional and an overall great guy. I started feeling very sick after my piercing, (through no fault of his) and he knew what to do right away. Helped me immensely and didnt make me feel bad for feeling that way. Prices are reasonable for piercings, and I would highly recommend the shop.

Let me just tell you how thrilled I am with David Scott and American Tattoo. I took my daughter to get an industrial piercing about a week ago. My daughter had minimal swelling and pain afterwards. She is absolutely thrilled with her piercing. David Scott was awesome and I will be going back there. The business is clean and everyone there was so awesome to talk to. 10 outta 10 😎

A really great piercing experience. Dave really knows his stuff and pays attention to detail. Everything is clean and his equipment is on point. So are his jokes. Definitely going back if I want another piercing!

Awesome studio. Piercing went really fast and looks great!

Great place with a great atmosphere. Dmytry did a set of matching neck tattoos for me. His attention to detail exceeded my expectations. He made sure that I was comfortable, and that the pieces he did were exactly how I wanted them. Everyone in the shop has great energy and I enjoyed my time there. Youll definitely be seeing me again. Thank you so much.

I normally do not do reviews but I had to for this one. I live in NJ and it was difficult to get an appointment for a nose piercing due to COVID. A lot of places either didn’t do it or they were booked for a month. We called All American Tattoo and they were so accommodating. Dave did our piercing and he was very quick. It did NOT hurt not one bit!!! I would definitely recommend this place!! The drive was so worth it!!

I’ve gotten some of my favorite tattoos here and they are always willing to squeeze a quit tattoo in and they are amazing people

I got my nose pierced here. Friendly, experienced, and the process was fast. Hurt for like 5 seconds then instantly went away. I would defiantly come back for another piercing.

Dave was the best. Was on time and accommodating even with our last minute appointment. I got 2 more ear piercings and my second nose hole. Wife got her first nose hole and another set of ear lobe piercings. He took care of us. Was particular about placement and if we were satisfied. They definitely gained 2 new clients and I definitely recommend them.

Amazing people! My nose piercing took less than 5 mins and it looks awesome.

I will DEF be going back in the future! I got both a tattoo and set of piercings when I went. I found the crew to be very experienced and knowledgeable. Not to mention down to earth and friendly, which is a huge plus especially if youre getting a larger tat and have to spend an extended amount of time with your artist. The prices were amazing too! Only thing is that its a tad small which makes it a bit warm and stuffy. If thats the worst thing you can say about a place, they aint doing too bad. 🤣

My three friends and I went to all get small tattoos and Dmytry did a fantastic job on us. For most of us it was our first tattoo and we were pretty nervous but he was brilliant with making sure we were all good and he gave us great after care advice. 11/10 would come back

David was a super nice guy! Got my first ever piercing done (both ear lobes) and he was great at explaining the healing process and instructions for proper care! When it comes to stuff like this, you gotta go with a professional with 31 years in the business!

Good people & amazing work. Had a nice time with Dmytry who did a fantastic job on my first big tattoo. Will be going back again for sure :)

I got my industrial piercing done about five months ago and it got infected really badly. Was told by another person who got their piercing done here that the owner is named “dirty needle Dave.” Do not recommend.

Ive gotten my nose and cartilage pierced here, and Im very happy with both of them! The guy was very chill and knows what hes doing. definitely would recommend!

I got my bellybutton pierced here about a month ago. Everything went smoothly, good price, good advice/information given about the healing process. Would recommend.

I really enjoyed this place. I brought my daughter here to have her nose pierced. The gentleman was very nice explained everything to me and also to my daughter. Told her what was going to happen and how to care for it afterwards and said to call him if it falls out ( as this is apparently common and you wont be ableto get it back in yourself) which it unfortunately did fall out while she was cleaning it. We just called him up came in and put it back in and adjusted the shape of the jewelry. This place is tiny but a cute little space to do tattoos and piercings. The place was very clean and they made you feel comfortable.

Staff was very nice quick and easy peircing. My daughter is already bragging.

Getting A tattoo for my deceased cat😥 🐾🐾❤️🥰😻, AND the Word breathe on my wrist WOOOHOOOOO

I had the most wonderful experience when I went in for my piercing. I got a nose and belly button piercing and I have to say I couldnt be happier!! The service was impeccable and very professional

This place was AWFUL. Went here to replace a nose ring that fell out- was told the piercer could not figure out how to put my ring back in. He would not take my stud either- instead, he got his own stud that he cut with a pair of pliers from a rusty toolbox. He made my nose gush blood, then told me he couldn’t work with all of the blood and sent me on my way with a Q-tip. Told me I was “sh*t out of luck”. Left with a closing nose piercing, a bloody nose, and a possible infection. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I came here today to get my first nose piercing! I am very pleased with the results. I didn’t know what to expect, but he was able to walk me through the process and understand the steps he was taking throughout the piercing. Super reasonable cost! Highly recommend.

Amazing! Short, relatively painless, and friendly.

I’m 28 years old and just got my first tattoo...I was so nervous, but Summer was amazing. My jaw was on the floor watching a piece of art come to life so beautifully on my foot. Incredible. Can’t wait to go back!

My daughter and I went to American Art Tattoo, to get our noses pierced together! David Scott (the artist who did our piercings), was very down to earth, helpful and understanding throughout the entire process!Not to mention, being able to have all my parental authorization paperwork and the notary process done right at the shop was a HUGE plus!!Our family will DEFINITELY be returning to American Art Tattoo VERY VERY soon!

Excellent experience. Dimitri, (if thats spelled correctly) was amazing. His skills are 10+ and he was a great guy to chat with while he was working.

Great place to get your next tattoo done. Very clean and everyone is very professional and extremely nice. Cant wait to go back.

The atmosphere is very relaxed. Awesome tattoo artist and a great place to get pierced

David was amazing! Very professional, clean, and organized setting. Quick and easy process when I got two piercings done: rook and outer conch. Definitely going back when I get more for my other ear!!

Went here a couple weeks ago. Dmytry did my butterfly tattoo and helped make me less nervous. Will definitely be going back

I came in to American Art Tattoo with a friend and we were Unsure what piercing We wanted or how many. David was very patient and clean with the piercings it was so good we each got 2 piercings. Definitely recommend!

Just stopped by yesterday with my best friends got our tattoos the artist was amazing Dimitri ( I hope I spelled his name correctly ) the owner Dave is pretty cool I called and they were booked someone canceled their appointment so we got in definitely coming back

I got my nose pierced today ! So perfect ❤️ Didn’t hurt at all,, very quick & nice service I would definitely recommend!!

Since I am fairly new to DE I had no idea where to go for a restoration of an old tattoo as well as to get a new tattoo. After looking at several websites, pictures of the artists’s work and reading many reviews, I decided American Art Tattoo just felt like the right fit. I was spot on! Summer Long is an exceptionally talented artist who is also very accommodating. I felt relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience. I highly recommend American Art Tattoo!

Absolutely loved my experience here and am so so happy with my pieces! Can’t wait to go back for more!

Great place and good vibes

Had an amazing experience here! I always have a very particular way I want my tattoos to look and the artist worked with me every step of the way to get it exactly how I wanted it. The owner and the artists are very nice and professional and there is none of that condescending attitude you might get from other tattoo shops. A clean and pleasant place to be. Fair prices too!

Very talented artist! He used what I gave him for inspiration and drew out, free hand exactly what I wanted and it came out better than I ever imagined! Had a chance to see the piercer in action too! Everyone was very professional and they were very thorough on explaining the process as it took place as well as the aftercare.

Awesome service! They were so nice and kind even though I was so nervous. Made me feel welcomed and safe for my navel piercing. Dispelled all fears as soon as I walked in.

Dave was great! Real professional. My piercing looks great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing done !!

The entire staff was so so awesome and accommodating! Summer and Dymytry did beautiful tattoos on my friends and I and were so kind to us, knowing that it was 2/3 of our first tattoos. Will definitely be returning here for my next one!

Great customer service, and great price!

My husband and I both decided to get a couples tattoo this past weekend. We decided on American Art Tattoo after reading their reviews. It was the first tattoo for both of us. The pricing was reasonable and Dimitri did a great job!! I will definitely be going back when I decide to get another one!

My piercings look amazing! but my friend got her ear pierced and he didn’t screw the ball on all the way so she lost it in the car. we did have a good experience though.

I got a crescent moon tattoo with a little heart. It was not first tattoo and I am extremely pleased with how it looks. The guys there were very nice and welcoming and I see myself going back there for more in the future. I very much recommend this place for a tattoo / piercing

After searching for the right place to get my first tattoo I found American art. Very welcoming and relaxed environment. I went Saturday and meant Dimitri, I told him what I wanted, made an appointment for today and he was able to come up with the exact design I wanted. I absolutely love my tattoo..he did an amazing job, extremely talented and am already wanting another one done by him! The owner, Dave, pierced my Tragus and I am definitely getting all of my piercings moving forward from him! I highly recommend this place and plan on telling anyone who wants a tattoo or piercing to definitely check this place out! Can’t thank you guys enough!

Best place to go to !

Dmytry is the best.

Very great place, i got my belly button done here and it was fast and easy. Told me everything to do for the healing process. I recommend this place for piercings and recommend Dave to do them as well !

Disappointed that the shop stopped responding to my emails while trying to set up my appointment.

Ive been here a few times over the last 8 years. quality and cleanliness have never changed. very attentive to detail and no issues with drawing up a tattoo design several times until it is exactly the way you want it. prices are fair. they say you get what you pay for. well here you get more than you pay for in my opinion.

Dimitry was very friendly, professional and constantly making sure I was fine. He was light handed which was awesome. Highly recommended to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Fair prices, overall great job and good experience.

I got my nose pierced here in October. Clean, quick, and my piercing healed beautifully. Very professional work. Looking forward to coming in for my first tattoo. Recommend

I got a tattoo here and my experience was great! The tattoo came out looking wonderful and it was exactly how I wanted it. It was also very clean and the artist set up everything in front of me so I knew all the equipment and needles were clean and sterile. Fresh everything. Keep up the good wrk and I plan on returning for another tat soon!

Everything was perfect, Thank you so much!! Great price, great service. I love my new tattoo.

Just got my first tattoo and Dimitri did a great job of putting me at ease. The quality and detail of my tattoo is amazing!! I will definitely be back for my next one. Thanks Dimitri!

Dave was awesome and even gave me a diamond and my pericing looks great i highly recommend

Dave and Dmytry do great work! I have gotten all four of my tattoos done there and have never been disappointed. They offer fair prices and are both very friendly and personable guys.

I had an amazing experience at American Art Tattoo . All of the employees were wonderful. Everything was clean and neat . I will definitely be coming back !

I had my belly button pierced here and the top ball piercing is literally sinking into my skin... it is painful ... the bar is way too small because it was pierced wrong.

I absolutely love Dave. Having previously had two tattoos done in Kent County, it was reassuring to see how close he is in relation to the University of Delaware (and came highly recommended). I got my bottom navel pierced there as well as four tattoos all in Fall 2013. I was tatted by a guest artist from Jersey who was MIA after working with me, but Dave did my last two tats, and did a free shading to account for the flighty artist. I highly recommend him. I plan to get my next set of tats done soon by him.

Very professional and friendly! my 3 friends and i went to get piercings and they did an amazing job. sanitary and quick.

When I first got in their the place smelled like cat piss and they charged too high for a small tattoo they where not professional and was just plain disrespectful

My tattoo artist, Dymtry is very talented and in the past six months, Ive gotten three tattoos done by him. They are happy to work around my schedule and tell me professionally based opinions about tattoos and piercings. I love all my tattoos and Ive been getting pierced here since I was in the seventh grade. Recommend strongly

The gentleman who runs the studio is very nice. He has pierced my nose and now industrial, both times went flawless. I have recommended several friends and they all had the same great experience.

I just came from getting my first tattoo. Dave was incredibly helpful through the process and even accommodated a last-minute change in the scheduling. He is clearly passionate about his work and makes the whole thing a pretty easy process. He does an awesome job of customer service, since he is the only person in the shop he takes the time to meet both the needs of the person he is working on and anyone who should happen to walk in. Hes very professional and I for one am not surprised that hes been able to operate for so long.Thanks Dave!

I got my industrial piercing done here a while ago and my daith piercing done just this week. Both piercings were great!The shop is very clean, everything is sterile, the prices are very reasonable, and Dave is excellent. Hes very patient and didnt make me feel bad at all when I got nervous half way through the piercing.

Wonderful place .the experience was amazing . I will be back . Big thanks to Summer Long .

The artist Demitri was awesome making my first tattoo experience quick, easy, and enjoyable. Fantastic place to go for a first time!

Ive gotten two tattoos from here, really easy and a fun experience. Dmytry is a great tattoo artist and makes the whole process a lot more relaxing. Cant wait to get my next one :)

I called Dave after being told I could come into a shop and get it done but then was denied. It was around 6pm on a Monday and wanted a place to just go in and get a tattoo. He told me to come right in! I found a kanji word on his wall & in fell in love since I learn for the Army soon. Was in, and out! He was amazing! & his work is amazing and very fair prices! I love my first tattoo! And will be back after I get home from boot camp!

So very professional and thorough with making sure everything is super clean. Tattoos came out as expected and piercing hurt like a S.O.B., but that was also expected. I wont go anywhere else for that type of service

After getting several piercings here (all done by Dave), I decided to get my first tattoo done here aswell, and I was not disappointed! Dimitri did a great job, and Ill definitely be coming back for any future tattoos and piercings.

Absolutely love this place they give you exactly what you want and they are super sweet, the work they do is amazing. Thank you Dmytry and Dave.

Ive had three tattoos done by Cloudia and I love them all. She did a great job and is very skilled. Highly recommended to all University of Delaware students. The shop is very clean, professional, and welcoming.

American Art tattoo is in my opinion the best tattoo shop in New Castle County. I go there for all of my piercings. He is very clean and professional. I am very satisfied with this business.

Great quality tattoos here. Cloud did my lotus and it looks fabulous! I see great things in her future:)

Piercing was done professionally, quick and clean by David Scott. Id go back

After three months my latest tattoo is complete due to the talented and magical artistry of Dmytry at American Art Tattoo. He’s a visionary. I gave Dmytry a few pictures as guides but the sketches he created were mostly because he asked a lot of questions during our consultation. After a few tweaks we arrived at a final sketch. Dmytry is a true artist with immense talent. His line work is impeccable as is his free hand abilities. Dmytry has great attention to detail and immense pride in his artistry. If you’re looking for true professionalism, artistry, cleanliness and a truly memorable and pleasant experience getting a piercing or tattoo run, don’t walk, to American Art Tattoo!

Dave was awesome !! Welcomed me into the shop told him I wanted my nips pierced and was very professional made me very relaxed the procedure overall was fast and it didn’t really hurt as I thought it would. Shop was very clean and utensils was clean as well I would definitely recommend going to him again for my piercings!!

Just got my second tattoo there, and if and when Im getting a third, itll be at American Art tattoo. Affordable, quick, great looking tattoos, friendly staff.

Great experience on piercing. Definitely would go back.

Cloudia was very skilled and extremely friendly while giving the tattoo. The work was very fairly priced & the shop was as clean as a hospital. I definitely will come back here to get my next tattoo.

Contacted Dave about my design via email, got a fast response and fast appointment to consult the design. Dave took my ideas and a design I purchased off the net and really ran with it, he made something I could never imagine. The day of the appointment, I arrived and Dave was ready, he spent three hours getting my piece done. The work is great, Daves attitude and conversation while he inked me was awesome. The shop is clean with an autoclave on site, either new/disposable or autoclaved items were used.The piece Dave did is a memorial tattoo and he nailed it out of the park. I will be back to see him for my next piece.Price was very reasonable. Go see Dave and his staff, you wont be sorry

Cloudia absolutely killed my second tattoo I had done with American Art. Both times Ive gone theyve been extremely professional and the atmosphere is really laid back. Huge fan and will continue to do business with them. Great people overall.

I’ve had 3 tattoos done. Dmytry does awesome work. Highly recommend this place

A tattoo professional would have no issues pointing some one who is seriously interested in the profession in the right direction. But instead my questions we met with disrespect and attitude. At the end of the day sweetheart you started somewhere too. Please work on customer relations.

Dmytry is truly amazing and takes his time making sure your tattoo is perfect before the needle even touches your body. I have gotten 2 tattoos here and I cant wait for my next one with him!

Dave and Cloudia are awesome tattoo artist. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Very professional, clean and all around awesome people. Thank you guys will be back..

I searched the internet for a repubitable tattoo parlor for my first tattoo, and American Art had received 5 stars across the board, and I completely understand why!! Great prices, professional attitudes, and made my nervous self feel completely relaxed. Thank you Manny!

I got 2 cartilage piercings for a great pricec and David did an amazing job. He made it very quick and was very up front about the sterilization. I absolutely recommend American Art.

I Jeanna did a great job.Everyone was great.Recommended!

From my experiences with the owner and one of the main artists at American Art Tattoo, I believe this is the absolute best and most reasonable shop in the New Castle area! Dave (owner) and Cloud (the artist that designed and completed my tattoo) are some of the most personable, friendly, considerate, professional, experienced, reliable, and reasonable people I have ever come in contact with in the Tattoo/ Body Art industry. They are quite flexible with appointment dates, and often (during the work week) are available for extremely high quality walk in appointments. The pricing was beyond reasonable, and they were very helpful and charismatic in discussing the vision I had in mind, and they were eager and willing to do everything they could to make this vision come to life for me. I genuinely believe I could not have imagined a more impressive and dedicated duo of artists and professionals to create and execute the vision that I desired before I even stepped foot in the shop.Dave is an extremely personable, good-humored, experienced, knowledgable, professional and reasonable owner. Although he did not draw or ink my tattoo himself, he was always there to share advise, discussion, and his overall plethora of experience throughout the whole process. He runs his shop very efficiently, and he keeps it extremely clean and orderly (in addition to some very cool and inviting decor)! He was very fair with pricing and scheduling appointment dates, as I got my tattoo over about a period of a month (including brainstorming, designing, adjusting, tattooing, and touch-ups). I would recommend that anyone in the area seeking professional and personal advise and/ or expertise to consult with Dave first and foremost.The multi-talented artist who designed, adjusted, and inked my tattoo was Cloud. As her name may suggest, she was extremely light-hearted, uniquely creative, passion-driven, friendly, and always there when I desired her the most. Aside from the physical art work she designed and created, she was extremely flexible and easy to work with; always answering my calls at practically a moments notice, and always willing to offer me appointments and times that were ideal for my busy schedule. In terms of her literal artwork, she understood and supplemented the exact vision that I described to her from day one. Her sketches absolutely blew me away, and she was always eager and willing to adjust them to fit the exact specifications of how I wanted the drawing to look on my body. The tattoo itself took about 4 hours, and went smoother than I could have imagined; she never needed a break if I did not. The final product of her hard work exceeded any and all feasible expectations I had for the fruition of the vision I had years before I walked into American Art Tattoo. When I first explained for her the vision I had for a 6 inch pine tree on my left calf, her exact words were Yes! I absolutely love realism, it is surely one of my favorite types of tattoo designs!, my excitement nearly surpassed the true connection that we made as we saw eye to eye on my vision.Needless to say I could not have been, and still could not be happier and more entirely satisfied with the artwork she created and completed for me, and due to the price and intricacy she even offered to give me free touch ups . Cloud overall is a contagiously sweet, charismatic, determined, hard working, motivated, kind-spirited, and truly talented artist. I would recommend Cloud, and American Art Tattoo to every and anyone I know that is looking to get a tattoo in Delaware, or even the tri-state area; for my experiences with this artist, owner, and tattoo parlor could not have been more positive.They also have FANTASTIC taste in music, which is always playing in the shop.!DAVE FOR PRESIDENT!

Dave is awesome! I got my tragus pierced here and ended up fainting (I know, Im a baby). But Dave had icing and water ready for me when I woke up. I highly recommend this shop and artist!
