    neck tattoo
    Vincint Aurelio S.

    Coming back again for a SECOND REVIEW WITH ONCE AGAIN NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY. THIS LOCATION HAD A TOTAL REVAMP FROM THE LAST TATTOO I GOT FROM RANDY (THROAT), and let me say it looked INCREDIBLE, great job y'all. The staff is always so fucking polite and fun to chat with, I got a tattoo on my finger done by a guy who's name I cannot remember but he owes me $20 since we only did part of my tattoo but I am going to let him keep it cause he was nice to me, and the wonderful lady who pierced my belly button and did a bang ass job compared to the last 4 times I've had it done. I absolutely love this location, and it will continue to be the only place I go for tattoos and piercings while I live in Austin, the service is so good I would even come from Houston to experience it. Every aspect of this place is phenomenal, they do a tremendous job in creating a safe, welcoming, kick ass environment to be in.

    It's been a year since I gotten my first tattoo from here and let me tell you. This place is amazing I love everything about it they have a nice little waiting area for just walk ins they make sure you understand everything while your getting a tattoo. I had Mike pain and he was amazing. I got the fire rose unity sign and I told him why I wanted that to be my first tattoo and he says "well you deserve it." Telling me that I'm a strong person, it made me feel very proud of myself. He made sure I got a break and it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.

    I am delighted with my first tattoo! Mike Pain did exactly what I asked for efficiently and painlessly. He was even entertaining and expressed no fear of my "old & fragile" skin. Another artist I spoke to refused a tattoo because of my skin. I also love Mike's business card: Pain is mandatory, Suffering is optional I highly recommend him!

    I will be honest I did not know I was going to write this review at first. I was thinking about getting a tattoo for over six months and I've gotten a recommendation about the atomic tattoo on burnet. I was very nervous before I stepped in, but I am so happy I decided to go inside, the staff there is very friendly and put me at ease. I thought getting a tattoo was gonna be painful but it was so easy and it was less painful than a cat. Scratch down was amazing. It's too bad he's only there three days a week, but if you want a quality Chad to add an affordable price without a reservation Come to a time a tattoo you guys rock

    Kane did my tattoo here and I'm so happy. I've been looking for a traditional American artist and he was the perfect match for me. (I found him on Instagram). He made setting up an appointment a breeze, my tattoo session was exactly what I expected from price point to sizing, color, etc. Kane is super personable and incredibly knowledgeable about his craft. I will be back! (Photo is from 1 day of healing)

    Once me and my friend got to the location we were a bit spectacle of the building but we went in and it was a nice looking place, the person at the front desk was a bit rude and dismissive (didn't catch his name) but my piercer Angela was very polite and soft spoken, I happened to get an industrial piercing and my friend got a cartilage piercing. Angelas space was organized and clean and everything went smoothly. Its been a little over a week since I got my piercing and its healing nicely! Angela made sure to inform me and my friend how long the healing process would take and how to keep it clean, I would recommend getting a piercing with her, especially since my industrial was my first piercing. Will come again for more piercings.

    I had my nose pierced by a man last night (couldn't ask his name) at Atomic. For COVID, they sanitized my hands twice; once while I entered the store and once when I entered the piercing room. No accompanying people are allowed inside. The man took a good 3 mins to scan my face and put a dot on where he wanted to pierce. He showed it to me and it was perfect! These guys really know what they are doing! All the needles, nose pins and tools used were freshly opened so 5 star for sanitization. It took him literally 30 seconds to be done with the piercing. Their studs to pick from were also cute! Overall a great experience!

    If you're looking for a piercing Andy Vega is the person to go to! He was super sweet to me and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Even when I got nervous he kept a confident calm aura that definitely eased me. I mentioned I get dizzy easily and he had a plan on deck immediately. The clamps weren't going to work with my little nose, so he told me he had to free hand but assured me and went lengths to make it as painless as possible. And it was honestly PAINLESS. I'm healing very well and couldn't be happier with the experience overall. 1000 stars if I could.

    If I wanted to get both my nipples pierced how much will it be?

    $55 for one, $100 for the pair

    Do we have to make an appointment to get a tattoo?

    Have to? No. But it is beyond a good idea to find an artist you like and make an appointment with them. Each person has their own style, which may or may not align with yours. Plus the more accomplished artists are generally pretty booked up.

    How much is a nose piercing?

    $65

    Does your shop have a shop minimum and anyone who will do white ink tattoos!?

    Our shop minimum is $60 (and has been since 2001) and a few of our artists do white ink tattoos.

I booked my appointment for Saturday, Dec 13 but due to leaving late from home was late. They slotted me in right after the appointment that was originally after mine and it took less than 5 minutes. Anna was a fast whiz!! It was also pretty busy in the morning with groups and friends and couples continuing to check out the earrings on display for sale as well as asking about appointment availability. I'm grateful that they didn't tell me I was *too* late! After my downsize, I was in the mood to get a piece of fashion jewelry (specifically a huggie) for February/March when my first piercing ever (lobe) is ready for it. The girl helping me out recommended a twinkle silver one that she also owns. Plot twist: I came back the next morning (Sunday) after a night of fun knocked out my left piercing. I found the backing, but not the stud. The same girl was working so I laughed about it with her and she said it's not common but also they were willing to fix it/replace the jewelry for free based on their usual warranty. Laos worked on me this time & was super willing to share their knowledge about piercing care!

They rarely offer walk in appointments, so I recommend securing an appointment online before coming in to get pierced. Depending on the location, they only offer piercings if you're 18+. You can get a max of two piercings per visit. Pricing: $35- one piercing + cost of jewelry $50- two piercing + cost of jewelry $10- saline spray Piercing jewelry can range from $30-130 per earring. All their piercing jewelry is implant-grade flat black labret. Kels was super patient and accommodating, she knew I was nervous and took the time to assure me that the pain is bearable. They have stress balls if you need it. Pain tolerance varies for everyone, but I was surprised my helix wasn't as painful as I thought. I would compare it to a flu shot! The worse part is placing and tightening the jewelry. After a few months they have a free check up appointment where you can switch your flat black to a shorter post. I had a very positive and fun experience, I might come back again to get a conch or tragus after my helix is completely healed.

He went out of his way to take on my unknowns and worked with me to make what I wanted happen within the constraints. The previous shop I had tried (that took walk-ins) gave some excuse to me why they wouldn't do it. It was 2pm. - The shop itself is one of the most tenured in Austin, and is decorated to reflect that. I think they said they'd been there at least 27 years which is crazy to me coming in to get this done on my 24th birthday, meaning they've been tattooing longer than I've been alive. - The process that they used to draw was considerably more painful than previous shops I've been to, but I'd prefer someone using tools they're comfortable and familiar with rather than inexperience. - Only complaint I have is only taking cash, I had thought of that but used most of the cash i had on the previous artist from the day before. (They have an ATM inside, but does not accept tap.) - Overall the final result was exactly what I wanted given the constraints of the limited remaining real estate space on my arm. I was very impressed by how Burke developed creative ways to get me what I wanted while still keeping the overall design fluid. Definitely shows the 25 yrs of experience. Even if there's slight imperfections, that's what makes tattoos unique to you. It's not supposed to be copy/paste, as long as you're happy with it and it represents what you want it to, it's a job well done. I would definitely recommend their shop!

The environment is clean and welcoming and during the piercing process they are communicative, and I love that when you lay back theres cat pictures taped to the ceiling to comfort you through the pain. For the quality of the service, their prices are very reasonable and they have many many jewelry options and are happy to recommend other options that will work for you if they arent carrying something specific youre looking for. Unfortunately, I have had a negative expirience with one of the piercers. Pineapple, Jade, and Mercedes have all pierced me at different points. Around 3 years ago Mercedes pierced my verticle labret, and it turned out beautiful. Unfortunately I had to take it out because of a surgery after a few months, and once I recovered and wanted to get it repierced I went back. This time Travis pierced it, and I did not agree with his personality very much, as I felt he made some kind of targeted comments at my preferred jewelry and piercing placement, and he also was a little rude when we were having a conversation regarding the circumstances of my surgery. Since there was a scar showing the placement of my previous piercing, I trusted the results would be similiar, but after seeing the markings and thinking they looked good, the piercing happened and it felt a little off. Originally he tried to give me a piece of jewelry for the healing that was comically oversized, and when I said that I would like a smaller size, he acted as if it was a silly request. But truly, my lip was not going to swell to double its normal size because of a repiercing. I signed a form, got the smaller jewelry, and figured I would downsize when it was appropriate and hopefully I wouldnt feel like the placement was weird, but after the piercing had healed and I went to get it downsized, he revealed that no jewelry would fit the way I wanted because there werent any small enough piercings unless I had one custom made. I couldnt afford that so I just accepted it, until this year when I started disliking it so much I decided id rather not have the piercing than have the weirdly placed one, so I took it out. I know the difference might look kind of minimal, but it really drove me crazy to feel the piercing wiggling around so much, and not be able to afford jewelry I would like because it was not within standard sizes. For a while I blamed my anatomy, but a few weeks ago I realized maybe my lips arent weirdly shaped and my prefered placement should be possible, so I got it repierced elsewhere. Now that it is healed (or at least no longer swollen), I can confidently say that Travis messed up with the piercing placement, and acted quite unprofessionally in my opinion. I am comfortably wearing a size piercing that I think is third from the smallest standard size, and it fits exactly how I want. I will attach a photo with a comparison of the piercing i got from travis and my current piercing. (in the top pictures I am wearing a 16g, 1/4 inch piercing, and in the bottom pictures I am wearing a 16g, 3/8 inch piercing.) I cannot recommend the other piercers enough, and I hope to return here for many future jobs, but I would like to recognize this expirience in my review because it was an upsetting expirience that cost me time and money.
