    Forward helixes and third lobe all done by Virtue and Vice. A few weeks after the helixes were pierced.
    Ellie M.

    This is THE only place I will get my ears pierced. Everyone here is so professional and good at what they do. I've been pierced by Lena and Cozmo who are just WIZARDS! The piercings themselves are virtually painless (even the rook that I got yesterday was so quick and easy) and everything is so sterile, it feels like a doctor's office back there. I have now gotten 5 piercings here, 3 cartilage and they have all healed beautifully (well not the rook yet but I have high hopes and it feels just as great as all the others did 1 day post piercing). The staff are really friendly and kind. I told Cozmo yesterday that I was really nervous and he just slowly walked me through the piercing and it went super easily. They also have a really wide selection of top notch jewelry to get pierced with so you're not stuck with boring metal balls or whatever as your earring for the next couple months. I have brought a few of my friends here to get pierced or have their piercings fixed and they have all been so impressed by the quality of service here. One friend got a set of really funky piercings in Delaware and they all had these wild curved barbells in. One of them was really red and irritated 2 months in. The staff (Royce) changed out her earrings for the proper set and within an hour her ears were not red and irritated anymore. These folks are absolutely incredible. I wouldn't trust my piercings to anyone else.

    Rook, solid gold

    I 100% recommend this piercing shop especially because they offer solid gold!!!! Loved the vibe and how they took care of my friend and I for our appointment. When we walked in, we were greeted and not rushed at all for picking our jewelry. I booked for a Rook and I also called ahead for getting my upper lobes, so if you want more than one, for sure call ahead. Randy took care of us and he's no nice and knowledgeable he made me feel comfortable and confirmed with me that my jewelry is sterilized. I'll totally come back and get more

    Who wants jewelry sticking out like that ridiculous

    Really rude spoke down to me guess bc I'm white. Awful piercer he didn't even prepare or tell me when to take a breath and blow out to ease the Pain had to ask for the spot changed so it would be even to my other piercing They clearly didn't want my business just wish I'd have know and not even went there

    Got pierced by Meg and she was seriously the best! So caring and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. She walked me through everything step by step and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. The whole process felt super quick and honestly, not painful at all way easier than I expected. Can't recommend her enough!

    The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful!! I got 2 piercings (lobe and helix), and Lena made the process so easy and talked me through each step. I also had additional questions about a previous piercing and she gave me great advice about it. The shop has multiple private rooms that are comfortable and relaxing. I'd highly recommend this shop, and I'll definitely be coming back for a piercing or even just for new jewelry. Thank you Lena!!!

    I bought this one to go with my pink hair!

    What a wonderful little shop. The staff is friendly kind and caring. Can not wait to go back again!

I…read moreoriginally came in a few years ago to have a VCH piercing redone after receiving one with incorrect placement elsewhere. The piercer was quick, gentle, and precise -- the placement was perfect, and I've had no issues since. During that first visit, I also fell in love with their jewelry selection. I had been on the hunt for unique, exotic nose rings, and Kolo definitely delivered. Yes, their pieces are a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and variety are absolutely worth it -- 10/10 every time. The receptionist is one of my favorite parts of the experience. She has amazing energy, always gives thoughtful suggestions, and shares her personal experiences in a way that makes you feel heard and cared for. The bald guy that works there is also really cool -- calm, professional, and always pleasant on the phone. What I love most about Kolo is that they truly know their craft. They take anatomy seriously and won't pierce you unless it's the right placement for your body. That type of honesty and expertise is rare. I recently made the mistake of stepping out for a $10 belly ring special somewhere else... and it went south fast. I came back to Kolo, and they saved the day. This place is forever my home for piercings and jewelry. Can't recommend them enough -- true professionals who care about what they do.

I get businesses have policies and she may have been overwhelmed with the load of the day but her delivery was very rude and off putting.

We wanted to get fine line Star Wars themed tattoos -- we provided the image and they advised to make the image a little bigger so the lines won't look shriveled over time. We agreed with their recommendation and got to the table with not much of wait. Everyone was very inviting, the place itself looked really cool and eclectic. I immediately thought of coming back for a flash deal if we were ever in town again! Very clean, very sterile, and very friendly -- so why one less star?? Unfortunately both our fine line tattoos have faded by the end of the week. The pressure didn't feel deep enough for either of us and the line work is VERY light. We already want them touched up but since we're not from the area, we'd have to find another artist. BUT that shouldn't take away fully from the good experience! Maybe if we weren't leaving to the airport after this, we would've been able to speak up and say to go a smidge thicker. Or perhaps we should've visited in the beginning of our trip so we can return for touch ups at the end of our trip after the first couple of days of healing. Not sure. But still good vibes here!

Highly recommend for anyone wanting ink in Atlanta or anywhere else. I'd travel in a second for his talent!!

    I saw the owner of Memorial, Phil Colvin, for my fine line/color/floral/watercolor tattoo…read more I was assured that Phil (w/ 35 years of experience as a tattoo artist) had the abilities & experience to handle this particular style. I provided Phil with a design in the initial consult and a (slightly edited, but essentially the same), design via email a week before the tattoo date. I also brought the image to the actual tattoo appt. Phil is a very nice guy, and owns a clean and professional establishment. He clearly has many years of experience as an artist. While I receive many compliments on the end result, I felt very frustrated during the process with the following: 1.) He added black outlines to a tattoo with very little black outlining (design had it only around the daisy). I found this out the hard way, as I had my eyes closed at the start to manage pain & was trying hard not to move. I didn't realize he had done it until I asked "What are you working on right now? I'm trying so hard to be still for you, that I'm having to keep my eyes shut." I have read much online about the topic of black outlining, and the responses are a mixed bag. 2.) His colors (the shade of green on the leaves, etc.) often did not match the original 3.) He did not choose-- or was not able-- to include the level of detail that the original design represented 4.) He made some other minor artistic decisions that were different than the original (ie: the shading on the daisy). 5.) A couple (not all) of the watercolor marks on original design did not turn out well, and I had to return 2 weeks later to get them covered up with leaves. I spent another $200 going back to Phil to get the small corrections made. In general, if any tattoo artist feels they cannot or do not want to accurately transfer design --- body (or feels that a specific element will not transfer as well), they should COMMUNICATE that to the customer. Something to the effect of, "I see that the design you provided doesn't have much black outlining. I think that black outlining is important because of ______ reason. Therefore, I am going to recommend that we do_______." Two-way communication is critical to the process of getting something permanently inked onto your body. He also was dismissive of the tattoo artist that I hired independently to do the design (a Germany based woman who does freelance design work, through fiverr.com). He said, "She just probably grabbed these photos of flowers off the internet; she's clearly not a tattoo artist." Which couldn't have been further from the truth!

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.
