Jeff is a great artist who I've known since I moved to Dover, before this place even existed. His work is clean, crisp, and professional. Check them out on facebook or instagram if you need proof.

about 8 of my 10 tattoos were done by Jeff the Owner/Tattoo Artist and wow. He is literally the only artist i like doing tattoos now and his quality of work gets better and better every day. Prices are great for the amount of quality he provides. Definitely would recommend family and friends to get their work done here.

Jeff is awesome and wicked friendly. Amazing artwork as well!

I have had three of my five tattoos done by Jeff, and I am still just as pleased with them years later as I was when I first got them. His quality is unbelievable. He does some of the best work I have seen. All my tattoos still look just as vibrant as the day I got them. The atmosphere is relaxed and just overall down to earth, and not to mention the always have the best music playing. I love Emily and Jeff, they both run a professional, clean, and amazing shop. By far the best and friendliest shop I have ever been to! Will continue to get tattoos here always!!

Brianna Young

Both my husband and I have had work done by Jeff, and we won't go anywhere else!

I've been going to see Jeff since 2012 for all of my tattoos and a coverup. Everything heals wonderfully and the shop is ALWAYS immaculately clean and spotless. There's great music playing and everyone is very patient especially if you're getting something in a tricky spot. Jeff is an extremely talented and versatile artist and produces consistent artwork. If you're going to invest in wearable art, I recommend hold fast to everyone. Literally everyone I know.

A year after my wife passed away I wanted to get a tattoo in memory of her. MJ heard my ideas and was able to create a beautiful tattoo for me. He did such an awesome job I had him redo the tattoo I got when I was 21 and make it his own. Both are awesome pieces that I’m proud to show off. Couldn’t be happier with them!

I've had a considerable amount of work done with Holdfast. Awesome work each and every time. Fair prices and great work. I went to one tattoo artist for over 10 years and after seeing Jeff's work I had to try him out. Needless to say I made the switch permanently. I can't wait to get more work done!

Meghan Hill

I've had two tattoos done by Jeff at Hold Fast and I've had great experiences at the shop both times. Jeff is very patient and talented and both him and Emily make sure the shop has a really comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

I was considering getting a tattoo done here, I went to the shop and it seemed okay if you are really into traditional style tattoos, not much other work in other styles. But when i googled the shop I found one of the woman working there had posted very negative comments about their customers on facebook, essentially pointing out people's stupidity when they asked questions and other rude comments. Way to scare away potential customers! If you have your name attached to a business common sense would be to not demean the people who pay you for your service! Very unprofessional. And needless to say I found another shop that was a very positive experience.

Stephanie Martin

Best shop around!! Jeff does amazing work and I won't go anywhere else for my tattoos. Great shop, great people!!

Joshua Schutrum

These guys rock! Great service and Jeffs beard makes my nipples hard!

Dave Poolan

Jeff does amazing work very friendly service

Josh Healey

Haven't had work done here yet, but I've had a dialogue with the owner and main artist Jeff. He's courteous, answers all of my questions, and his work and art style are out of this world. Highly recommend.

Emily Allie

My experience at Hold Fast Tattoo has been nothing short of excellent. All who work there are professional, customer service oriented, and genuinely care about the end result of any work performed both in terms of aesthetics and health.

Alyssa Ames

Jeff has done multiple tattoos on me and every time it exceeds my expectations. I always recommend him and the shop to people that complement my tattoos!

Olivia Alex

I’ve had two tattoos done so far by Jeff, and he does amazing work! The shop has a nice relaxed atmosphere to it, and everyone I’ve encountered in the process of consultations/booking an appointment/actually being in the shop has been very friendly and helpful. Super clean and hygienic, if you’re into that (which you should be). I definitely plan to get more work done here in the future, and have referred others to this shop because I just can’t say enough positive things about them.

Joe Williams

Quality work super friendly staff

Does excellent art work

Channel Zero

Jeff does amazing work!

Stephen Melnik

Jeff has done my entire sleeve on my right arm with all the MLB baseball teams as well as all of my wifes tattoos, his line work is amazing and Gilbert alone will make you want to come back!

samantha mitchell

My husband and I have had quite a few tattoos by Jeff and while we both love his work and had no problem with him we will not be back due to the lack of professionalism from his front desk girl or manager . She is rude to customers and uses Facebook as a place to bash clients . Being a service provider myself would never tolerate this behavior from a place Iam paying for a service .It’s to bad because Jeff is an amazing artist and she’s ruining the bisiness reputation .

Steve Gosselin

These Guys Rule! From One Business Owner To Another! You Guys Are So Fantastic! Keep Up The Good Work!

Lynn Mayo

I’ve had many tattoos done by Jeff, amazing artist. Quality work!!!

Bobby Judson

Been here twice last time about 4 yrs ago. They have the best artists and are fairly priced, Jeff is amazing. Highly recommend Holdfast to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience.

Ann Leahy

I’ve been to Jeff at Hold Fast for five tattoos and I couldn’t have had better experiences! Scheduling was fast and Jeff put in a lot of work toward my design ideas! Each visit was a great experience and I’ll be back in the future for more! It’s totally worth checking out!!

Candy Glass

It is very true that the shop manager frequently goes on various social media platforms lambasting/insulting/demeaning potential clients and people in general. Putting down people's ideas, bemoaning her position as a customer service rep, just projecting a negative attitude. Jeff seems like a solid guy and great artist but the manager is unprofessional and rude in this regard. If you call and she doesn't respect your questions or ideas, you could very likely end up a target on her FB/instagram. She should be nicer if she knows her name and reputation are tied to a business. If it was a corporate atmosphere, a reprimand/termination would not be out of the question.

I have been seeing Jeff for my tattoos since 2012. The shop is impeccably clean, he does fantastic work. Every staff member here is knowledgeable, informative, and helpful. They are definitely willing to work with you to achieve exactly what you want. They are also really responsive and easy to get in touch with so that's a definitely plus!

Jeff does amazing work. I have had several tattoos from him and have always been blown away by his work. The shop is always immaculate. I would highly recommend

chris palladino

I’ve been going to Holdfast for the last 4 years for both coverups and new tattoos. Jeff does amazing work and is very talented at what he does, will continue going to him for future tattoos!

Bailey Houghton

I absolutely love Hold Fast. The shop is cozy, clean, and inviting - Emily is awesome and I love that she's the first thing you see when you walk in the door! Jeff is such a nice guy and is incredibly talented. My experience here has been 100% positive and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needed quality work done.

All but 1 of my 6 tattoos were done by Jeff at Hold Fast, ranging in style from traditional SJ designs to photorealism and several custom designs. Very talented, professional and friendly staff. Shop is very clean and well kept. Highly recommended. -some guy named Thor

Haylie Robinson

Jeff did a wonderful piece in remembrance of my father for myself, mother, and sister. The people are welcoming especially to my Mom, who never had a tattoo. The shop was extremely clean and professional. Being in the healthcare field this is something I look for. I would definitely recommend Hold Fast to anyone looking to get a tattoo!

Haley Delisle

Great artist and people. Can't wait to have then time and money to go back and have my arm finished. Thanks so much for the amazing tattoos. Keep up the amazing work guys!

Jordan Gillies

I got an elbow piece done by Jeff here two years ago to the date. The line work has held up pristinely in an area that is prone to wear and tear. I recommend this shop, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and professional work place.

ChopperFisher

The owner is a great guy and does solid work! I've had a couple from him and plan on more

Haley Ferland

Had a tattoo done back in 2014 before I moved away for school. best shop I've been to since!

Alyssa Snyder

Went there to get a matching tattoo with my sister, it was a couple of years ago and it’s still looks fantastic. Wonderful people and a wonderful experience. I would definitely go back for another piece.

Julius B

The people were extremely rude and the quality of service was garbage. I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Loretta Holmes

Jeff has done two tattoos for me, I love them both. He is very professional, safe, and very importantly, amazing at what he does!

David Hill

Fair pricing and great work only place I'll ever go as far as tattoos

Matthew Brough

Amazing service and very professional atmosphere. Got my third tattoo here and the experience was positive enough for me to want to come back in the future.

Joshua Colwell

I have gotten tattoos at a few different places though there is not one place I didn't like I would have to say though Jeff is by far THE BEST artist I have ever sat in the chair for... he is very light handed, every time I have had him work on me, his tattoos have always healed super fast! His shop is very clean and his demeanor is very professional...Along with his awesome tattoo work he also is a phenomenal artist and you can see that by the signs I have had him make for myself and my club! I wish I could give Holdfast more then 5 stars because they truly deserve it! Thank you Jeff and Holdfast Tattoo for being around!!!! Josh Mountain Men M/C

Samantha O

This will be the only tattoo shop I ever get tattoos from. I’ve known Jeff and Emily for years and they’re both amazing! Jeff did my 3 tattoos and after like 5 years they still look brand new! I get compliments constantly and am proud to say where I got them done :). Can’t wait to get more! Also, he is very gently and is mindful of your pain tolerance and does what he can to make it the best experience. Very clean and professional. Amazing artists too
