This will be a long read so if you want JUST the basic opinion? Here it is: OFFICIAL INK TATTOO IS AMAZING! OK....let me clear. I travelled from Kansas City, Mo for music/business and a, slight, "Baecation". I had no intentions of anything else. It just so happened that the owner of the loft I stayed in owns OFFICIAL INK TATTOO! By my own issues of needing extra assistance, I ended up having to come downstairs, and into the shop. Nick was very prompt in communication with me. I wasn't aware that he was ALWAYS working every time I texted or wrote him, (my bad Nick... I didn't know you were LITERALLY busy)! I didn't know until I got to ATL that he was BOTH my host AND the shop owner. So that means he was working on tattoos every time we communicated, but he made sure to answer my questions and concerns. That was clutch for me. First off I'm autistic, adhd, sight AND hearing impaired. So to know that my needs, and those of my partners, would be met, that was important to me. When I got down there another tattoo artist let me in. Nick was in a session. I didn't mind waiting. I was told It would be about 15 minutes. No problem. I was the one struggling. I had some work to finish up so I pulled out my laptop. Just from where I was seated in his shop, and the people he worked with? I loved the energy there and the aesthetics. His shop was immaculate! From the way his business was set up I knew the pictures on the site for the loft would be accurate. While waiting, I was treated with such hospitality by his crew! They brought out a bottle when he came out. Nick came out, introduced himself and Re-explained some instructions for me a bit more thorough. He wasn't condescending, he understood my issues and just explained in a different way. Said if I had any other problems just let him know and he would come and handle it for me. He He also said I could hang out down there as much as I wanted. Then they offered that same bottle and I took shots with him And his crew! I had fun while I was down there. The location is great. Everyone in this district was kind. I spent a lot of time walking up and down the block. I ate at SLUTTY VEGAN! IT WAS AMAZING! A further walk down there is an arts center called Westview Makers. You can watch live music, learn textiles and how to make shoes, clothing, ,jewelry and how to re-upholster furniture. There is a, know, artist from NYC named Philogene Vilmar that owns the building so if you are looking for something full for culture, fun and learning? Look him up. He's right up the strip and they have daily classes or events. Theres a drum circle at 2pm on sundays. Theres a corner store down the street and along the strip are multiple options for vegan or healthier eaters. There a barber shop, a realtor and everything is super close to downtown which is 5 minutes or less away. My partner ended up catching COVID and could not come to GA. So, even having to stay by myself I never felt unsafe or unwelcome. The loft and the shop spaces are amazing. Per the warm and friendly welcomes of him and his crew I spent the free time I had planned for date night in OFFICIAL INK, and got a tattoo from one of his amazing artists! it wasn't exactly on a whim, but I had ink that I hadn't, exactly planned how to get it or who to get it done by. It just seemed to line up in a way where I was made completely comfortable by the entire staff and their friends! I was introduced to a beautiful young woman named Claud!we talked about why I was there and what I wanted. She listened to me and drew out ideas in front of me. Also have some creative input into some holes I had in my design! While sitting with her I got introduced to the pet d she and held him for almost an hour! I was told his name was prolly gonna be "Jake!" (Or Drake.... They haven't decided... So even though my trip wasn't as it was planned? Nick and his crew made it an amazing time for me. I also met a lot of people and made connections. I attended the DAY OF THE DEAD festival at the Historic Oakland Cemetery and was able to crash in the comfort of my loft after walking around 3 hours! It's now Monday afternoon. I'm at the airport and have since checked out. I'm soooo satisfied with my tattoo! Even with the dermal bandsge on it I can still see how beautiful it is. No one in the WORLD will have this tattoo. I'm sure of it! I came to ATL for music and left with a tattoo and new connections! I already have it in my head I will be staying there, in the "Artist Loft" when I come back for the awards show in 2024! I want to thank Nick, Claud and everyone else I met! I came back last night, bought a t-shirt and held Jake again before turning in for the night! The whole crew made up for the loniness I felt not having anyone close to me in the city! Thank you SO much! I will be back! read more

5 Stars. Thank you again Rob.. I was lucky enough to win a FREE tattoo session since Official Ink hosted a skateboard contest. They offer plenty of specials, and piercings with aftercare as well.

All of their work looks amazing and I plan to come back for more work very soon. Inside can accommodate several guests with dope art everywhere... thanks again! - J read more
