Walked in and Issac was fast and he's very professional. The shop is the best. Will definitely be calling back this week for more work.

If you're considering a tattoo and piercing shop that offers a unique Wonderland experience, The Mad Tatter in Shawnee, OK, might be worth checking out. From the moment I entered, I felt the shop was special. The atmosphere is engaging, the decor is a delightful Wonderland theme, and the staff are truly exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about their work. I initially discovered The Mad Tatter while searching for a piercer to assist with a challenging piece of jewelry, but it seemed like the right place for my first tattoo--an Alice in Wonderland design I'd been wanting of for over a decade. And it was a wonderful decision. Isaac, the owner and artist, brought my vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined. The consultation was smooth, creative, and collaborative. He listened carefully, offered thoughtful suggestions, and designed a piece that beautifully captured what Alice means to me. I left the consultation feeling confident that this was the place for me. On tattoo day, despite my nerves, the entire staff made me feel at ease. Isaac was patient and encouraging, making the process as comfortable as possible. Having my best friend and brother with me was helpful, but the overall environment was just right. The tattoo took about three hours, including a few small breaks, and my brother even got a couple of piercings while we were there. It was quite the experience! Even after the tattoo was completed, the customer service was excellent. When I noticed a minor issue with the bandage after leaving, the shop promptly had me return and resolved it--no questions asked. Throughout the healing process, they were just a phone call away, always happy to answer any questions I had as a first-timer. Reflecting on my first tattoo, I realize I went a bit bigger than planned, but I have no regrets. The size, placement, and intricate details all came together perfectly for me. The Mad Tatter is now my preferred shop for both tattoos and piercings, and I highly recommend them. I even have a few projects in mind. In fact, I've already sent friends their way, and one is currently working on a major piercing project with the Rabbit McPiercer! If you're seeking a place with stunning artistry, professional excellence, and an atmosphere that feels like another world, The Mad Tatter is worth considering. I went in for a piercing fix, and I left with an amazing tattoo. I am truly grateful to Isaac for creating such a stunning design. Rabbit McPiercer, your clever humor was a wonderful way to ease my anxiety. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for making me feel so at home. read more

It makes sense why this shop is rated low, Issac is a good and kind artist which is why he's never available. So I booked my tattoo with Raymond the other artist. Now I understand being rescheduled once because you're sick. That makes total sense to me, but trying to reschedule your clients again who'd already placed down a deposit for god knows whatever reason and then calling your client unprofessional because she chose not to get a tattoo because she's turned off of the shop because of you is really not a good way to conduct yourself. The entire vibe of the conversation with him was just awful. I hope if you book with anyone in this shop it's Isaac. In summary, I won't return as long as Raymond is employed at this establishment. read more

I do not recommend coming here for a piercing. I came to get my rook piercing and it was not a pleasant experience. The guy who pierced me was not nice at all and was very aggressive with piercing. The people at the front desk were very nice though. Its been a few weeks since I got pierced and my jewelry has come undone twice. I can tell that it is not high quality jewelry because I'm pretty sure jewelry isn't suppose to come undone and fall out. Will not be coming back here. read more

I have several piercings. One of those is my nose. I've had it pierced twice before. I went Sunday to get a new tattoo and decided to pierce my nose once again. Nick did such an amazing job!!! He is cool as heck, but an outstanding personality doesn't make you a phenomenal piercer. He was. THE ABSOLUTE BEST I've ever had to pierce me!!! It was the least painful of any nose piercing I've had previously. 48 hours later and it feels like I've had it for years. It was not even sore the next day!! I'm blown away by how perfect the overall experience is!!! I highly recommend Nick for all your piercing needs. I'll be taking my daughter to him when she's old enough. He is so professional, fantastic and the best in the field. He won't brag on himself but his work is world known!!! read more

The shop is cute. The receptionist is nice. My piercing was done very poorly. I was actually thinking there may have been permanent damage done. Very bad. read more

My wife got a nose piercing done here and not only did they put in the wrong jewelry, but it was also butchered. We came back after a month of carefully following their instructions to keep the piercing healthy just to find out they had fired that piercer and told us it looked fine. We decided to go to a more professional piercing place and they explained to us that it was infected and gave us the materials to clean it FOR FREE. We came back here and explained that to the manager and still had to fight for a refund on the piercing. I can't say if it's worth it to get tattoos here, but definitely don't get any piercings done here if this is how they treat it. read more
