Karma Theory Tattoos

My buddy and I went in on a recommendation from another friend. We shouldve listened to her sooner lol. Everyone was so friendly. The shop was clean, and well decorated. We were treated with so much consideration and friendliness, it felt like I was hanging out at a friends place. Of all the tattoo piercing shops in Dover, this one stands out in the best way possible. Their hours, quality and customer service are unmatched. I cant wait for my next visit!

My friend and I went to got get piercings and from the beginning it felt like we had just walked into a friends house not piercing shop. Everyone in there was so friendly and we talked about so many things. I got my nipple re-pierced and I never once felt uncomfortable which I’m pretty self conscious of my chest but I felt so safe and comfortable with ‘Lil’ E. I’m definitely coming back for all my other piercings and tattoos!! 100/10

By far my best experience yet - at a tattoo shop - and I have 10 prior tattoos. Highly recommend- staff, environment and attention to detail are top notch.

Amazing experience at this shop! Everything is so clean, organized, and cohesive as well as the wonderful artwork across every inch of wall in the shop - overall incredible experience and honestly just from my limited interactions? Not to mention the care and effort the staff put in to make sure each client is comfortable, safe, and has a good experience.I personally got an intimate piercing, 4 actually, and the amount of time and effort to make everything a seamless and comfortable experience is outstanding, from the hour long phone consultation to the hour of prep and planning to make my piercings match me and my anatomy specifically - absolute top tier service.Absolutely a client for life. I highly recommend this shop.

I’ve been getting tatted at Karma Theory for about 5 years now. Every single piece I got, I loved. Lil E does some amazing work. I recommend him to people every chance I get. Out of the 50 hes probably done on me, I dont regret a single piece. The vibe in the shop is A1, nice and clean really feels like therapy sessions. And the merch is top tier 🔥🔥

Got my second nostril and second helix piercing done by Lil E. He was very thorough with me on what he was going to do and was very gentle with me afterwards by giving me a numbing spray. Would recommend him!

I absolutely love this place!! The staff and artists are incredibly respectful, understanding, and flexible. Theyre willing to work around your schedule, make sure youre comfortable, and the shop is always clean! I had a tattoo done by another artist, and I wasnt too happy with the way it turned out. Very nice woman, but I wanted it to be fixed up. The artist from KT saved the day by making it more of what I wanted, and beautiful ♡ I will always go to KT!

Had my eyebrows done at Karma Theory by Lil E and I cant say enough about what this did for me! Its not that I had a low expectation, its just that I had no idea that it could have been what I wanted and more! The artwork is so natural and beautiful and the environment cannot be matched! No matter where you are, no matter how far the drive and the time it takes, this is where you want to go!

Absolutely amazing experience! I have not had a tattoo in over 15 years…. Experience was so amazing I’m coming back to sleeve the rest of my arm…. Work is phenomenal and Lil E is super talented and light handed with his work!

I felt more like family than a customer. Art was my artist he did a amazing job. i already have my next appointment booked with him

Ive been here twice for 2 different pieces. One on my chest and the other one to start a sleeve on my arm. Both times Ive went to Dan who does amazing work! Im very satisfied with the detail and color as well as the customer service. T at the front desk was helpful and answered any questions I had. The pricing is good and fair. Ill be coming back to Dan for my sleeve. The overall shop itself is a clean and friendly environment.

The owner, Eddie made the whole experience more relaxed by joking around and was very specific in explaining the process of not only getting my belly pierced but also the after care treatment.

Got my first tattoo here by Austin today. 10/10 recommend. Also spoke to the owner who gave me very good advice to move the position of my design (but not pushy with it at all) and he seemed super chill. Austin was probably the perfect artist for me as he made conversation and jokes which really helped calm me down and would give me a warning if there was a chance of pain. Got the tattoo on my back but it barely hurt, he’s super light handed and my best friend (who didn’t get one done today) and I will be back

Absolutely great experience. Austin was wonderful and very skilled. The Owner was very precise and hands on when directing Austin in the placement of stencils and things he would like to see perfected. Very comforting and EXTREMELY clean environment. I would trust any artist in this establishment. They’ve gained a returning client

My wife and I came in to get matching tattoos for our birthday/anniversary (yes its all on the same day lol) Brandon AKA Kramer did an amazing job on my tattoo!!!! He made sure that my tattoo was perfect. He was extremely nice and super friendly and welcoming! Kramer made me feel comfortable and had great conversation. Before I knew it, he was done with my tattoo. Thank you Kramer, for making this day so special for my wife and I. We will definitely be back!!!

I called asking if they could fit a walk-in, and they said yes. I showed up with a basic idea in my head and Kramer turned it into a one of a kind piece. I will post pictures in a couple weeks when he gets the chance to finish. Kramer is a great artist with a light hand and an impeccable taste for design. He doubted himself a bit so kept checking with the more knowledgeable artists which is another reason I thought he was so great. He is an Ink Master in the making and the entire vibe at this store is amazing. This is the spot for your tattoos, my friends because they are honest about what will work and arent scared to give their opinions. Im not an artist so I trusted them and they did an amazing job.

Got two tattoos done here by Kramer, super cool dude and perfected each of my tattoos. Also super gentle so there was barely any pain. The owner and Kramer made me and my friends feel super comfortable and entertained us through the process, 10/10 recommend coming here.

Called same day got in and got done. Not only by a main artist but an apprentice KRAMER! First of all his tattoo gun is by far the best feeling I’ve ever felt and I have many tattoos, second the conversation this guy can keep up is amazing, third his work is impeccable!! KRAMER you’re my new artist man keep up the great work. KT you guys got yourself a great addition.

T at the front desk is awesome, Kramer killed it covering up my exes name in a funny way, and the owner made sure he and myself were satisfied before I left! Excellent people and even better environment, will be returning! Doodlebob is sick!

Eddie the owner has been doing my tatts for over 10 years now, he is one of the SICKEST artist out here! With tattoos I always tell people that you get what you pay for and Eddie is exceeds all expectations. I have also gotten my nose and septum pierced here, I dont remember the piercers name but he is good too. Overall a very professional, clean, and down to earth staff.

My Fiance and I were able to walk in and get matching tattoos right there on the spot. The work was well done and very detailed. Ive never gotten a last minute tattoo so I was nervous at first. But Im very happy with the work, and we will both be going back.

Just got my second and third tattoo here. Very quality and surprisingly affordable for how good it looks! Also the owner is a super nice guy he did my first tattoo and he remembered what we talked about from like a year ago when he did that one. He didnt even do my others he just made sure to say hi. He also did 4 piercings for me too. Super friendly staff very accommodating and ill definitely be going back.

Karma Theory Tattoos is my go to place to get tattoos. My artist was Art and I told him the idea of what I was wanting to do and he made it become a reality. I am extremely happy with the work that I got done and people always comment about it when I am in public and ask where I got it done. I will continue getting more work done from Karma Theory. They deserve more than 5 stars.

Due to a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 63 I decided to get a tattoo in remembrance of my brother. He was killed in an accidental shooting in 1975. I was afraid if I waited, the shaking of my arms in later years would not allow me to do it.Since it was my first tattoo plus at my age, I was worried that I would not be taken seriously. But it was the exact opposite. The first contact was with Brittni at the front desk, she was very helpful and friendly.Daniel Pollard, the artist who did my work was also friendly and gave me a lot of very good suggestions and came up with an awesome design.So I made an appointment for the next Saturday. All the other artists were also friendly and professional, as was the owner of the shop. I was so hyped when I left I was actually worried of having an accident and would not be able to show off my tattoo! A doctor couldn’t have wrote me a better prescription. On a bad day, I can look at Dan’s work to cheer me up.So if you are interested in a tattoo do not hesitate to go to Karma Theory!

One of the best tattoos that I ever had and I have many. Lil E has a very soft touch and he has amazing insights to what you want. His design was outrageously PERFECT!!! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a first class tattoo:)

Karma Theory is easily one of the best tattoo shops Ive ever been to. Even from the moment I was just calling around looking to set up and appointment, the woman who answered the phone was one of the nicest people Id ever spoken to. Tina was very helpful and went out of her way to ask a question for me before telling me to come in and set up an appointment. One phone call was enough for me to know I wanted my chest tattoo here.Going in, setting up an appointment and getting tattooed was just as enjoyable. Eddie was incredibly kind and patient when tattooing, and was a joy to interact with. None of that sitting in silence while your artist ignores you and seemingly hates you. He felt like an old friend, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Very personable but also professional. He held no judgment when I asked if I could use numbing cream in my first sessios, unlike many tattoo arisits. He even took the time to explain how they work. He adjusted the degisn when needed without trying to guilt me.My second session was just as enjoyable. He was incredibly kind, and always had a bottle of bactine ready to help numb the tattoo a bit as he worked. Generously so. We managed to knock out the rest of the tattoo, and he didnt push me for a third session for details though the offer was there.Overall I felt heard, comfortable and safe in this tattoo shop. AND the tattoo turned out a amazing. It was exactly what I wanted and then some. Often times you have to choose between an amazing tattoo and being comfortable, but not at Karma Theory.

I took a shot on this studio based on the reviews. Eddie has a very clean, well lit, relaxing place that is open and a good temperature. Dan is the artist I see and is extremely talented and very knowledgeable with space, symmetry, and design. This is the best spot in Dover

Had a great experience here. Staff are extremely friendly, and Mike did a great job. The studio is very clean and he set everything up in front of me so I could see the entire process. The artists are legit and Mike did a phenomenal job creating my piece - beyond my expectation. I will be going back to Karma Theory for more work in the near future. Xx

I LOVE IT HERE!! ... From the energy and professionalism of the receptionist to the artists. ..on point clean shopDan will be my tat guy for sure very careful about work very personable he his super creative and already scheduled for my nextTattoo is neat cute and cleanHad.to get my review on the acct I actually use but...DanDid both fish on my shoulders an angler and an Lionfish and a sea.turtle behind my earLove.my pieces HEAVILY

This place is absolutely amazing. I got my first tattoo done with Dan and he did amazing. He made sure to walk me through everything and came up with such a great design. The staff is pleasant and makes the experience great. I would highly recommend going here.

I came here for my first tattoo on a recommendation from a family member. Lil E has been great! His art is beautiful and he is very professional. Weve been working on my quarter sleeve for a long time now. Its finally almost finished and looks gorgeous!

I woke up with a swollen rook piercing that I had gotten a year ago in California. I was very frustrated that my piercing hadn’t healed after a year, I called the shop to see if they could help pull out the piercing. The shop owner took me in quickly and was so nice and informative, he convinced me to just change my piercing to a longer piece until it healed, he thought this may help. I invested so much in the piercing so I’m glad he convinced me to give it a second shot. I’ll definitely be coming back for future piercings!

I got a tattoo today that I have been wanting for so many years and this tattoo was not going to be done by just any random tattoo place cause it means so much to me and I went to karma theory today and had it done by Dan and he did such an amazing job. I reccomend that whole establishment to anyone in Delaware you will honestly love your finish work. Thank you to all of you again for such an amazing job and cant forget T who was so kind and amazing through it all and made sure that I was ok and comfortable the whole time. Thank you all of you.

This is my first time at Karma Theory and it was a great experience ! The staff was great, very friendly and fun. My artist Dan Pollard was awesome and his Art Work is truly amazing ! The shop is very clean and sterile ! Absolutely recommending this shop to everyone I know. thank you to all the staff for a great experience !

This place is amazing! I went there to get 5 piercings done they turned out amazing, I love them. my one piercing had an allergic reaction to the metal, but Eddie went out of his way and help me with everything. he went above and beyond. I would recommend anyone to go here.

My artist E is absolutely amazing guy. Professional, caring, and just straight down to Earth . I got a tattoo from a different artist from a different shop, a year or so ago that I wasn’t happy with and E, instantly had an idea how to make it amazing and he sure did make it amazing! I have a lot of plans for tattoos and I’m for sure going to karma theory for every single one. Couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. Thanks E, for changing my bad experience with tattoos and making it an amazing experience. Can’t wait to go back. 10/10

Ive been going there a couple years now and Lil E has done many tattoos on me in that short time. He is truly an artist! The shop is always clean and the staff are like family. Would highly recommend them!

The staff at karma theory is very nice and its definitely one of the better tattoo shops in the Dover area. Shop was very clean as well and the artist are very professional when it comes to their work. Definitely going to get more work done there!!!

The shop was clean and the artists were amazing. They were friendly, funny and made you feel welcome. My tattoo came out great. I would highly recommend them.

Just a consultation today so we shall see. The staff was very personal.Since the consultation Ive had 3 sessions. Best decision I have ever had at a tattoo shop. Art is an amazing tottooer! I will get all my tattoos with Art at Karma Theory!

Eddie and his whole team are great. I had a few ideas and they were off to the races . Talented staff from the design work all the way to the application.

My bros all work here. If u want proffessionalism and top notch quality. I couldnt recommend a better shop. My whole family has gotten at least 2 peices since this shop has opened.

NOTHING BUT IMPRESSED...I’ve had 4 sessions done at karma theory done so far, all by Lil E. He’s an amazing artist and all of the staff are extremely polite and welcoming. Very neat and clean shop as well. Out of all the places I have went to, karma theory is by far the best. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who desires a tattoo go here. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Art and T are equally amazing. My husband and I got a total of 3 tattoos; one for me, and two for he. T kept us entertained while we waited in her very clean, very personable space, and Art created his artistic magic with precision while keeping us engaged in humorous conversation. Well return!

This place is so amazing. They fit me in super last minute and i’m very thankful because Art did a wonderful job. The other employees were just as kind and welcoming, and I truly felt comfortable. I’m very pleased and will be coming back in January:)

Karma Theory is amazing! Eddie is and has been the best artist in town for years. I can’t believe how he transformed my old faded tattoo the way he did. I couldn’t be happier. Not to mention everyone at Karma Theory is so nice from the moment you walk in. I won’t go go anywhere else!!

Awesome people and nice environment. Definitely my go-to for all ink. See Austin, Art, or any of their team today!!!

Eddie has given me several tattoos and has always went above and beyond for me. His work is amazing! He is very professional and honest. I highly recommend him!

They do great work here. Daniel did my husbands tattoo and is going to do mine.

Lil E is the best! He made me feel comfortable and provided me with different options and suggestions to make my tattoo design sexy and original! Hes highly recommended and requested so book your appointment now!!!!

New to the area went on a tattoo spree lol and this was my second shop and I LOVE IT.. From the energy and professionalism of the receptionist to the artists. ..on point clean shopDan will be my tat guy for sure very careful about work very personable he his super creative and already scheduled for my nextTattoo is neat cute and clean

Karma Theory is a awesome place to get a tattoo done. Dan is doing my Traditional Japanese tattoo and he is doing an awesome job on the sleeve and chest piece. Do not hesitate to go to Karma Theory they care about what they are doing and only want you to walk out with a great tattoo and what you want.

Great skillsmanship, and environment. I got a small tattoo there and just scheduled for a slightly bigger one. Ive seen some awesome larger pieces theyve done too.

First the shop is soo cool, very clean lines. Everyone in the shop made you feel very comfortable and at home. Eddie brought my Reiki symbol to life. It looks like its been branded on my wrist and at the same time just glows with energy. FANTASTIC!!!

Great staff great place nice and clean lil e is one of the tattoo artist around

Karma Theory is a cut above the rest! They are anything but your ordinary tattoo shop. Finding the right artist, clean and professional shop for a perminant decission in your life is extreamly overwhelming. (Not here). Karma is so well lit and clean, yet its a cozy, comforting and friendly environment. With TVs, your choice of music and large open style booths, it makes it easy to relax and feel at ease. These artists are true proffesionals having creative collaboration putting pride aside and strengthening eachother, leaving you with the perfect ink every time! Karma Theory will ensure you love the entire process. All the artists are great, but I recommend seeing my artist, Eddie is the man!!

Eddie is the best, coolest, and most professional artists i know. Their prices are very reasonable and they will always exceed your expectations. Easily 10/10.

Made an appointment over the phone with Austin and was told to be there by 11/12. Pulled up to the shop at 11, closed, and no response to a message. Ended up waiting until around 12 thinking someone would show up, left to get some food, went back, shop was still closed. I figured maybe they were closed on Sundays but the sign on the door says appointments only so I don’t understand what happened.

They are an awesome, safe, clean friendly shop. Their work is amazing. Art did my 1/2 sleeve and I am just thrilled!

Grat staff, clean, professional, and amazing artists! Best tattoo parlor in DE!

Excellent and inspiring environment. The location is prime (for Dover) and everything is clean and orderly. The staff are highly professional and mad talented.10/10 would recommend again.

I went today and got a whale tattoo by Dan and it’s amazing I honestly love it the shop itself is clean and it’s welcoming the staff is extremely nice and their all good at what they do for it being my first time going there I loved it he did a phenomenal job on my tat

Had a great time getting a tattoo with my daughter....our tatto artist. Art, is truly an artist! He was very friendly, flexible, DETAILED, and FUN TO BE WITH!!!

Excellent experience 💙 Art did a perfect job. Extremely friendly knowledgeable staff, Clean, comfortable salon/shop. Highly recommend this salon/shop

Everyone was super friendly and they understood when I was a little late to my appointment. My tattoo turned out beautiful and I’ll definitely be going back to get more!

Austin cool kids love his work did a great job on my son neck I love it. Will be back to get my Eagles tattoo

I had a piercing from another shop and the bar was too small. The owner helped get the right sized bar and was so kind and helpful. Great experience will go back

This place is great. People are awesome. Superb work. Definitely my tattoo place now. Very well worth the 2.5 hour drive

Great atmosphere and cool people! Kramer did really good job on my kanji tat, will be back soon🤙
