Great experience from start to finish, thanks Ian. The line work is clean, the fill is bold, and the placement was spot on. A few days after getting it, I was out on a run and a guy rolled by, looked back, and said, "That's a sick Ironman tattoo." That pretty much says it all. Professional, solid vibe, and quality work I'm proud to wear. read more

Same Kaitlyn was very welcoming from the time I walked in. Sam took me in within 30 mins as a walk in. He took his time and did an amazing job! I decided to get two new jewelry for my ear piercings because the selection was amazing. Kaitlyn did a great job. Entire place is super clean, and they worry about you during your time there. read more

Visited Austin for a music festival and got three mini tattoos here, the staff and the artist are all super nice and hilarious! And they're very patient with tattoo design. read more

What a relief! That's probably not what most people say after being poked with sharp metal objects, but this was an overdue tune up for some wayward piercings that I neglected for too long. I physically couldn't get the backing of an earring out, which was causing terrible irritation, to the point that I couldn't sleep on my side anymore. On top of that, I couldn't remove my nose stud either, which had a less painful but still visible bump as a result. MJ got me in the chair right away and took amazing care of me. They talked me through the whole process and yes, it was painful, but quick and an as easy as it could be. I got the offending metal out, new jewelry in, and was all cleaned up in less than 20 minutes. Trustworthy and professional; I'll for sure be back, but next time, without an emergency! read more

Emily, Joey, Ian, and Macey were so awesome tonight - I got new jewelry for several piercings along with a flash Super great experience, will definitely be back read more

My daughter and I had such a great experience at Atomic Tattoo South with Ian. Highly recommend both Ian, as he is an amazing artist and tattooer as well as the shop, as it is very clean and welcoming. My daughter wanted matching tattoos for her birthday and provided a photo of a design. Ian quickly created the design accurately and with his own style that made the design even more beautiful. He was efficient, kept everything squeaky clean, listened to feedback and color requests, and did an incredible job. We couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Ian and Atomic Tattoo for making our experience memorable and for the gorgeous tattoos!! read more

Pablo Rammsy is a very talented artist--tattoing since he was a kid. Knowledgable about the art interpretation I wanted. Two 3 hour sessions done and probably a third touch up. Wanted a tattoo nobody else has, wanted it personal and wanted a specific piece of art on my body--guy did a great job. My first "big" tattoo--quarter sleeve--thinking about my next. read more

Johny was literally the best the best tattoo artist yesterday. I suffered a terrible family loss and got a tattoo for my mother and he made the experience fun, enjoyable and overall comfortable. Can't thank him enough. read more

Got my bellybotton pierced here a couple of years ago and had always had issues with healing that went on for over a year. I tried everything to make it stop and treated it with the utmost caution. Eventually, the ball popped off in my sleep so I had to go to a shop in San Marcos for a replacement. Within 2 days my piercing was healed with no issue. The jewelry they use here is either fake or super low quality and my piercing is crooked slightly-- not to mention, while I was paying the dude at the front desk saw me looking at my unpierced belly and said "I don't know why people look longingly at their bodies before, like the door is right there if you don't want it"..... um weird but okay. Anyways this ain't the place to go at all. read more

I went to Atomic for several years before finding another artist outside the shop. Decided to pop in for a quick walk-in and man, their artists have really raised the bar. Jorge did two quick tattoos for me and the experience was amazing. Definitely a great place if you're not committed to a specific artist and looking for high-quality. read more

Came in for lobe piercings. The first piercer had us pick out our jewelry, but no paperwork... then since they switched piercers, the second piercer came in late AND we weren't even seen... we waited for almost two hours and got nothing done since they failed to communicate. read more

Always a great vibe in here. I've gotten 4 tattoos here and have had such great experiences. Whether it's an appointment or walk in, these people know what they're doing!! Shout out to Sam and Johnny for doing amazing work on me, they're dope read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here for my piercing. The placement of my piercing was off and when I had gone back to see if there was anything that could be done they told my I had an uneven face and large ears?? It was just an overall unprofessional experience. No refund, What bothered me most was the lack of follow-up; they seemed uninterested in ensuring everything was healing properly. Do not go here. read more

Go see Jorge!! I have exclusively been tattooed by Jorge for 5 years now. He is the kindest most artistic person in the world. Finding a good artist is scary, but he takes the worry out of it all. He has done 8 tattoos for me and I'm wowed every single time. I promise, you will not be disappointed. His professionalism and positive demeanor are enough to make you want to go back, but his artistic flare is one of a kind as well. I have recommended him to all my friends as well, and they are equally happy with their work and with the experience. The shop itself is very clean and all staff are friendly. When I was waiting for Jorge to set up, I encountered other customers come in and need help. The girl behind the counter ( sorry I don't know her name) was the most helpful and kind. I recommend the shop overall as well. read more

I DO NOT recommend this place. My friend came in to get her side nose piercing changed out with a new ring. We walked in, and Crystal (don't know if that's actually her name but she's this blonde chick with a vocal fry and Ugg boots) saw us in. My friend explained that she wanted to buy a ring and get it changed out from her stud. Crystal (?) kindly obliged, and proceeded to pick, at random, from her piercing drawer. My friend laid down on her doctor's table thing and Crystal began to try to change my friend's piercing. It seemed to be taking a while, and my friend seemed like she was in pain, so I grew concerned. I then realized Crystal is swabbing my friend's nose with alcohol and it's coming back BLOODY. BLOODY. Her 5 month old piercing which was well on its way to being healed. This should not be happening. Crystal told my friend that her piercing is bloody because she isn't cleaning it properly... bullshit. It turns out, Crystal SIZED UP my friend's newly healed cartilage nose piercing. In other words, SHE PUT IN A PIERCING THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR MY FRIEND'S NOSE PIERCING HOLE. Please, if you care about your body, do not come here. Crystal was a sweet gal, but she knew nothing about piercings. Please go to Shaman instead. It's worth the extra $$$. read more

Thank you to Kas for a) an amazing industrial piercing, b) great change for my other cartilage piercing, c) for great conversation, and d) amazing advice for future piercings. I've had some artists be super rough with changes or condescending, but neither was the case with Kas. I'll definitely be back!! read more

Big fan of Atomic. I've been to both North and South locations and I've been pleased their service! South has a great vibe, great prices for piercings. I will go to Atomic for future piercings and recommend to friends. read more

Joey was SO helpful! She re-pierced my ears that I thought closed 2 years ago and pierced my sister's nose. Super professional and explained everything really well. When my sister had an issue w/ her nose piercing a few weeks after she fixed it for us and made it so she was able to keep her piercing when we were worried it might be too far gone! She's great! read more

I requested a snug. The piercer Angela never once apologized for the fact she completely messed up my piercing. She only said "this is not what I intended it to look like". I was not charge for the piercing but all I walked out with was a complementary bottle of saline cleaner for the hole she put in my ear. No discount toward a future piercing. I would not recommend using her as a piercer or even going to this shop for a piercing. I now ONLY have a hole in my ear that will need to heal and no piercing. Thank goodness I was given a free bandaid. read more

Atomic Tattoo - My bandaged, piercing-less, bleeding, mangled, and wounded ear - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

BE AWARE!! I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone GO NORTH! My husband and I attempted to get a tattoo and a piercing however since the piercer had a personal opinion on the art that was requested he refused service and recommended us to go to the location North, they also had no material for the piercing and stated that the people at the North Location would better assist! I contacted Justin, the owner/manager who then stated he would fix the issue with the piercer and that also was unsuccessfu! EVERYONE... I HIGHLY recommend going to the North location where everyone is highly assisted and welcomed!! #keepAustinFun read more

Horrible communication about being able to make reservations. Told me to come in for a walk in appointment and when I did they were booked up. was willing to pay too price for ink and yet was not informed that I needed to come in person to book. read more

Me and a friend came here hoping to get a couple of tats after calling and checking availability for walk ins. When we got there we were greeted by a man and asked to sit down. But once the artist came up, She was incredibly rude, dismissive, unhelpful when asked questions, and just acted annoyed the entire time we were there. She had pink hair, her name might be Kat. We ended up leaving without getting anything done, and will never come back here again. read more

Ty was a helpful and skilled tattoo artist from my initial email to consultation to design all the way through the actual tattooing. He shows passion for his work and clearly cares about the ink healing properly. He was thorough and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I have received countless compliments on the piece that he did for me. It was my third tattoo and definitely the one that gets the most questions about who created it. I will go back to him for any future tattoos and have referred friends and family to him. read more

This is definitely one of the best quality tattoo shops I have ever been to. The artists are always friendly and welcoming, and also all masters of their craft. Whether you're a tattoo veteran, or looking for your first piece, this is the shop for you. Cavos always takes care of whatever I want and it always comes out amazing. 10/10 would recommend. read more

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE! I got my septum done by Kas, and all over, a horrible experience. I have a few friends with their septums pierced and they all had minimal to little pain during the healing process. The day after I got it done, my entire face hurt, my gums hurt, my teeth hurt, not to mention the slightest touch to AROUND my nose area was so tender and swollen it hurt to smile. I knew immediately something was wrong, so I went BACK to Atomic to ask Kas if everything looked ok. She tells me, "You must have touched it or done something." And sends me on my way with no answers. I go to SHAMAN MODIFICATIONS off 7th, (GO HERE) and the man right away takes a look and tells me its way too low and that its causing the excruciating pain I had felt for FIVE DAYS. He told me she didn't hit the sweet spot, and instead pierced my cartilage in my nose and that is why I was in so much pain. He recommended I take it out, because it may not heal AND it was WAY too low, you could actually see the hole when you normally looked at me. I called up Atomic to tell them the situation, and ask for a refund and a lady told me to call the owner. I called, I left messages and no reply. 7 days later. Horrible customer service, horrible experience, and thank  GOD for Shaman Modifications. Please do not give this place your money. They are unprofessional, rude, and do NOT know what they are doing. $80 later, and still no piercing. I do not want anyone to go through what I went through. read more

Went in on a Thursday was greeted right away told them it was a cover up of a baby tattoo right below my ankle.. a really weird spot.. but I gave Ty some pics of what I was looking for told him I'm pretty open. Scheduled appt for the day after - Friday the 13th. Did have to pay 100 deposit up front which I get it's fine. So went back the next day he drew out a whole bunch of stuff .. somewhat different to my original idea but that is fine ended up picking one he had drawn out and I really liked it was done in about hour paid 200$ && can't see the previous baby tat at all anymore so worked great :) read more

I came to do a walk in tattoo and I asked if they needed appointments to get a tattoo just in case and all three of the workers looked at me rude and as if I was stupid and when they answered to me I told them I wanted to get a tattoo and the guy said what do you want in a impatient tone. None of them looked like they wanted to be there. read more

Joey was a great piercer! Got my nose pierced and she was super sweet. I told her about how I want to switch the stud out for a hoop one day and she provided a timeline for when I could do that as well as what size hoop to get. She also recommended a piercing shop where I live in Houston for where to get future jewelry. read more

Atomic Tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Austin, Texas

My sisters and I went into this shop for my birthday in search of piercings or possibly matching/similar tattoos. We were immediately met with judgement on family tattoos from 1 of the artists that just walked out after and spent the rest of the time shooting glares at us. They only have 2 jewelry options for piercing.... Metal ball or Claire's diamond stud. No metal options either, just surgical. We spent over 3 hours here waiting for 4 piercings. The tattoo artists were hiding in the back room playing the exact same metal song over and over the entire time we were in there and smoking incense in everyone's faces. They occasionally came out, made comments on how long the line was and "how is it possible there's not 1 person wanting a tattoo in here!" But there were 4 of us wanting tattoos that just got judged and ignored... Receptionist was so slow and absolutely clueless, she forgot to give us the 3 bottles of piercing solution we paid for. I ended up not getting a piercing I wanted because the entire situation was just uncomfortable. As a family, we still spent around $600 just to end up with infected piercings. read more

Got a septum piercing today by Kaitlyn. She was so sweet and kind. Very gentle. She reassured me that it was not going to be painful and she was spot on. it went quick and she was very professional. Very pleased with my new look. read more

I got a tattoo there I paid 120 for warrior. I didn't look before I tipped that's my fault but my tattoo says warriar and when I tried telling them they threatened me.

I had the absolute best experience when visiting Joey Edwards at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing. She is professional, confident in her skill set and beautiful !!! She made me feel comfortable the entire time. I left with a septum piercing, which I literally get complemented on DAILY. Thank you for taking your time and providing me with a healthy piercing in a sanitary shop. I like to post reviews *after* paying special attention to my healing process. I healed beautifully. No complications. Joey changed my jewelry to a rose-gold hoop weeks later. I was not disappointed. I will definitely be visiting soon to receive my Medusa piercing. I will ALWAYS request Joey !! - Pictures to come. read more
