    I've been here a few times for my piercings. I got my nose, tongue, and septum done here. My septum was done wrong. It was the most painful piercing I've ever experienced. However that's not why I'm writing this review. Today I came in wanting a fairly simple tattoo. I lost someone dear to me and one of our favorite songs was called "w.a.y.s.". I asked for the letters to be put on my finger, stretching across so that it took up the entirety of my small pointer finger. As soon as I showed the man what I wanted, there was pushback. He chose a font for me and basically told me that was all I could do. I asked if he could create a stencil for me to try a different location on my body, he said no because he can't print stencils without knowing for sure where I'm putting it. I said "that's ok I'll just get it on my finger then". He prints out a stencil that was too small and only fit on the last small space of my finger. Ok. Miscommunication that's fine. I expressed how I wanted it to start at a certain spot and end at a certain spot. The letters needed to be spaced out. That was literally it. He genuinely made it seem like it was the biggest challenge to do this for me. He proceeded to print out more stencils without even showing me let alone talk to me first. So once again, the stencil he printed wasn't right. This time too big. I laughed and tried to stay friendly explaining that it was ALMOST perfect. This is going to be on my body forever and yes I am very picky when it comes to these things. As EVERYONE should be. He remained cold to me. I felt like I was such an annoyance to him. I got a bit emotional and started crying because I was so overwhelmed with the loss of my friend but also just the blatant rudeness I was receiving at the time too. His third and final stencil was this one. At quick glance, I was like "omg it's perfect!" but then I started looking more. It's obviously wonky. The letters are not spaced correctly. The "Y" is so clearly out of space that it doesn't even look connected to the word. I think what really disturbed me was that he was so okay with tattooing this on my body. Instead of taking the extra time, printing more stencils, communicating exactly what I wanted... he took the easiest route and would've let me walk away with a finger tattoo that looks like my artist hated me. He literally said "well that's the spacing you wanted" and "sorry" sarcastically. I just silently nodded and walked to the front debating if I should even get a piercing at this point. I walked to the front and asked a girl if she thought the tattoo looked off. She said that it looked ridiculous. Confirming my feelings, I decided I did not want to do any business here again. All this to say, it cost you nothing to be kind. You are tattoo artists, putting permanent art on peoples bodies. Not everyone here is like this at all. I've never had an encounter like this here. But this man wasted my night as I got there at 8. I could've went anywhere else that would've taken the time to help me but I chose to go to somewhere I know to help me remember my friend. Do better. I have no idea what his name is. He is spanish with a beard and an eyebrow piercing. Please work on how you treat others. You have no idea what they're going through. Thank you.

    Got my Vertical Labret done by Misty today.

    Got my Vertical Labret done by Misty today. Pain was a 4\10. She was super fast and listened to any questions or concerns I had. I was a walk in and the whole process took 10-15 minutes (paperwork took the longest). Will be returning for any future piercing. Thank you Misty :)

    I've been into Fat Kat several times and every single time they always are so nice and do a great job! Today I got my daith piercing jewelry replaced. Misty is so kind and is as gentle as possible when working with you! The establishment is very clean as well. I would definitely recommend coming here for any piercing needs of yours!

    I've wanted a septum piercing for many years and after doing my research I decided to schedule an appt with Misty Dawn a master piercer who's amazing! She greeted me immediately and was so nice and professional, she makes you feel comfortable with her knowledge, she explained the procedure completely and answered all questions. The piercing was quick and painless, by hand and using sterile technique. The shop was busy, bright and very clean, super nice atmosphere. I highly recommend Misty for any piercings, she's fantastic!

    I found Fat Kat by chance on Apple Maps, to have some piercing removed for an MRI. Misty removed my piercing for me, I went back today to have them put back in and to get another piecing. Misty is amazing and so sweet I can't wait to visit her again for more piercing! Thank you so much Misty sweetest piercer I have had at any tattoo shop! Go visit her!

    I got my daith done by Chris and he was excellent! He did an amazing job explaining the process and aftercare. Super affordable! I am definitely going back!

    I received a flash design from Kaylie last year. She claimed that it was her own original artwork, when it was not. The design was from Minari tattoo, a tattoo artist that does not have a large following in the United States and is not a native English speaker. Each of Minari's tattoos are unique, commissioned work of people's pets. I think that pulling ideas and styles from different artists is a good thing. I think asking other artists if you can use their work is a good thing. I think that copying another artist's commissioned, unique artwork without their permission is a really crappy thing to do, and it leaves me disappointed.

    Today i was looking at my arm thinking "i could use some more ink". But where would I go so last minute? I remembered my good friend has a beautiful tattoo from Fat Kat so I was thinking i could try and walk in with no appointment. I expected a two hour wait or so but they told me to some right in. I hopped in the car and 10 minutes later Laura was asking me what size and placement i'd like for my tattoo. She was eager to start working and her passion shines through every step of the way! The linework is phenomenal, the application went smooth, and the shading is excellent. Halfway through my season, I was already consulting her about my next tattoo plans. She's my new go to artist. Definitely book an appointment with Laura, she is amazingly talented and passionate about her craft. Thank you for taking me in today!

    I was in Jacksonville for Spring break (I'm from San Diego) and was looking for a new tattoo to add to my arm. I hadn't gotten flash tattoos before so I was thinking of giving it a try. I called Fat Kat first to discuss it and they immediately suggested Kaylie for flash tattoos. I scheduled an appointment for consultation and I was able to meet Kaylie then and I saw all her designs that I could choose from for a flash tatt. I scheduled my appointment for the tattoo for that same week and I ended up choosing this chubby pigeon but she has so many other really beautiful designs with varying styles! She was also really sweet and easygoing which made the experience even more pleasant. I had some particular requests that she was happy to do, such as the shading, and a minor correction on one of my old tattoos that hadn't healed properly. Overall a really fun experience and I love my cute little chubby pigeon! Will definitely go back next time I'm in Jacksonville.

    Got tattooed by Kaitlin. She was pleasant and dealt with me as I chose the right design and placement for my tattoo. She was great to work with and chat with. She was great and I'd book another sitting with her for sure.

    Great place! First off, you must make an appointment for any service. I only needed to wait one day for the time I wanted to get a piercing. Secondly, when you arrive you have to ring the doorbell and someone will check your ID to see you have an appointment before you can go inside. third, they take your temp upon coming inside. Lastly, everything is sanitized very well and frequently. It was very clean inside and I appreciated that. I got a conch piercing from Misty who was really nice, I've had other piercings before (body and ears) but this for some reason was initially more painful than any other. Misty said I looked pale so she gave me water and a sucker which was just a really sweet touch. She informed me of after care, gave me an after care card which has a lot of instructions on it. With piercings, after care directions do not change much.

    I went in a little over a week ago to get my septum done with Misty. There are a couple steps here before getting pierced. First, I made an appointment (I believe they also accept walk-ins). Then, once I arrived I had to ring the doorbell and Misty greeted me and my friend kindly, and took my ID. We had to wait outside and were provided with shade and seats. She then returned with a form and my ID. Once I completed the form, she brought me inside (my friend had to wait outside because they are not allowing guests who are not getting pierced). The inside was very neat and clean. We went to a room, and Misty showed me where I could put my bag and then had me lay down on the seat. She first explained aftercare and made sure I understood. I was a bit nervous since I was alone, but Misty was very sweet and calm, which helped a lot. The piercing was quick and I was checking out in less than 15 min after arriving. It has been a very short amount of time but so far, the healing is going great and I love how it looks. I am definitely going to return and book with Misty for my future piercings once my current ones heal.
