Anywho I originally frequented the Columbia, SC location but have since moved to Atlanta and figured the same professionalism and quality would be here as well and I was right. Don't remember his name I'm horrible with names but never forget a face. Older black man with locs deep warm voice like a dad lol. But he was great. I got a double nose piercing; two on my right nostril and he made the process fast and held conversation to take my mind off him basically stabbing me in the nose twice lol. I love the placement of them being side to side and he used this measuring tool to check his spacing. I was in and out of there in under 20 mins with paperwork, getting my license copied, paying, picking jewelry, piercing, and the aftercare talk. Clean studio, smells of incense not smoke like a previous review I saw stated. I came in on a Tuesday they do half off select piercings. Picked out two little studs 2 for $40 but if you want the basic traditional studs it's 2 for $20. All in all I'm highly satisfied with how I was serviced and I'll be back when I heal up to possibly change to a hoop. Or get a new piercing. Parking isn't the best. It's just a driveway bc this used to be a house. They could definitely use better parking as the main road is hella busy I had to turn my hazard lights on as I moved my car to let someone out who was there before me.

Rikky, the shop owner, is pretty cool. I've had 2 tats done by him and a piercing so far. When I…read moredecide to get another piercing or tattoo I definitely will be going to him first if I am in the area. His prices are pretty decent. I believe his tattoos start at $35 depending on the size but his prices for His larger tattoos are pretty reasonable and he does a great job. I have one on my ankle and one on the back of my neck. I think paid $40 for each, done at different times, but I always get complemented on those two. Rikky is a natural artist and the tattoos he does reflects that. As far as the piercings, I've only gotten my belly pierced here. The price was $40. Everything that was used was sterile and new. My belly ring came packaged in its own sealed bag. The only thing I wasn't too happy about is the ring looks a little crooked. The girl who pierced my belly had me lay down but I'm not sure how she ended up piercing my stomach at an angle but when I looked at my stomach in the mirror I realized that my ring slants to the side. When I adjusted it I realized that it is the hole, not the ring. It's not that bad that I wanted to go back to have it fixed but just a heads up if you get your belly pierced here. Let Rikky do the piercing or make sure you are standing up, not laying down when the piercing is done. Overall I still give this shop 4 stars.

Dude is probably the worst tattoo artist I've ever came across and I've seen a lot of terrible…read morework.. he's very flamboyant and arrogant. He will not let the clients choose their own tattoos and he insists on tattooing the number 13 on everyone like it's some form of gang initiation or something. Very weird and awkward guy, this Rikky character. Be very wary of him. Also He takes deposits and does not show up for appointment. My friend was 10 minutes early for her appointment and he canceled because she didn't come 30 minutes earlier like he asked

I have been wanting a special tattoo for a long time and did a little research and decided to swing…read moreby the shop to see what artist was available and luckily I ended up with Coop. He drew up a few options for me that were similar to my idea and I really love how my tattoo came out. I might add some more hearts in the future to it but overall I really love it. It was especially important to me because it's my grandmother's name. I do wish that he would've maybe asked questions about what type of lady my grandmother was or anything about her because it would've made the whole experience better & it would've guaranteed a returning client. The shop was clean and had a cool vibe. The tattoo aftercare instructions that they gave were very great instructions and I really appreciate them. I did have to go over them a couple times just to understand because I hadn't gotten a tattoo in a long time but I realize if you follow them right and get the items that they suggest it definitely makes a difference.

Staff: Lupe, my artist, was perfectly responsive, open to ideas and changes, downpayment was easy to make (venmo for me but other options available). My tattoo artist, Rachel was a vibe. Super calm, methodical and patient as I wanted to increase the size of the tattoo after the first stencil placement was down. Very supportive in the decision to redo and wanted me to feel comfortable with the design size and placement. She is such a gem. Would recommend for tight lines, shading, floral work and script. Shouts out. Safety: gloves were worn at all times by the artist, spray bottles were bagged appropriately, ink was dispensed appropriately into small containers and lubricating gels on to single use wooden sticks, steel tray for all supplies was covered in a plastic barrier. Lidded garbages were used. Saran wrap used for a 3 hour barrier after completion and A&D appointment was provided for aftercare. Artist confirmed Blood Borne Pathogen training was taken annually. Environment: inviting, positive, relaxing, chill, clean, well lit, supportive, easy going. Overall: great experience and I'm glad my trust landed in the hands of this shop for a one off tattoo. Price was right. $280 for 2 hrs of needlework not to mention the predesign and communication over text up until I was in the chair. I contacted the shop 26 hrs prior to tattoo design, downpayment, redesign and then sitting in the chair to get a badass tattoo. These people are professional and serious with their art and image.
