I had a very positive experience getting my first (and likely only tattoo). I brought the artwork with me and as you can see, Thomas nailed it. We talked about my ideas for coloring and he guided me away from two of them based on his experience. As you can see, it turned out great! read more

Against All Odds Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Unprofessional store owners and employees. After a scandal has unfolded online the store owners have continued to refuse accountability and apologize. They still have not let go said employee who has publicly humiliated the client saying their piercings were "disgusting", when said client never even got their piercings there. They made up stories and publicly lied, shaming another person. The unprofessionalism of the store owners is the most outrageous part of this which is why I cannot in good faith recommend this tattoo & piercing shop. Please do better, its 2026. read more

Piercer is super unprofessional & was sending messages giving details of someone's piercing to shame them. The person they said had the "disgusting" piercings... doesn't even have that part of their body pierced at all. That's complete slander. Super disgusting coming from someone people are supposed to be comfortable with. read more

Called ahead for a tattoo with 4 people. They said they could do it. We drove an hour for the tattoo artist to not be there. They did not want to come and do the tattoos they agreed to do. Needed to go to a different tattoo shops. Would not go to them. read more

Jacy was fantastic! She did my n1pple piercings and was sooo nice and sweet the whole time. She gave a play-by-play and great aftercare instructions. She really cares about her clients! The whole studio was VERY clean and comfortable, they used an autoclave to clean all the equipment and jewelry. I am also very impressed with how they are handling business during the pandemic. read more

Absolutely amazing shop. Clean. Private rooms. Cool. I went to get a tattoo fixed/touched up by David Carter and I am not disappointed. I'm so over the moon about it. His work is amazing and he's really easy to talk to!! Check him out read more

Caroline is the best piercer in Auburn hands down. I've had multiple encounters with her for piercings and jewelry changes, and she's very experienced and knows what's she's doing. Highly recommend. read more

Update: April 22, 2022. Today I got a full phoenix on my thigh with hella shading and blending with color and high lights and it took less time than this chick took with my rib quote. Still salty, still don't recommend. read more

Very nice clean shop. Everyone's portfolio is out for you to look at. Very up to date with technology. I came in on a Monday with a card from a loved one and Thomas made sure I loved it that it was the right size and dark enough. It was my first tattoo and it was on my ribs he made sure I was okay through the whole process. He also made sure I knew about proper care and cleaning. Pricing was amazing. Definitely the only place I will go to. read more

Don't get me wrong this place is great. The only reason I'm writing a review is a disclaimer to people going here for their first tattoo. DO NOT GO TO HERO AS YOUR ARTIST. Went there for my first tattoo and the man made me feel bad for being picky. I felt so rushed and his body language just screamed "i do not really care about your tattoo and just want to go home. Plus, he quoted me $300 dollars for a tattoo that took him about 15 minutes. AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT... the god damn shading is patchy as hell. Guess it proves that no matter how skilled a tattoo artist is, make sure they seem to actually care before you agree to it. DO NOT PICK HERO read more

If you want something pierced go see Caroline! She is awesome and so nice! She is quick when responding to emails and and patiently answered all of my questions. I wish everyone had her customer service. Once we got there for the appointment, she was thorough in explaining the process and was great at making small talk which I needed because sometimes I tend to get nervous when I'm not distracted. Her station was clean and organized and she has cute jewelry to choose from. I got my Tragus and the person with me got their nose pierced. The piercings were the quickest part and she made it as painless and easy as possible. So far, I haven't had any issues but if I do I feel that she would go out of her way to help. I normally don't write reviews but she deserves a great one! Go see her, after your experience you will want to write her a rockin' review too! read more

I am so utterly disappointed n upset w wat Antonio did to me. I asked for a stretch marks tattoo w a rainbow effect n got a fucking purple band across my coochie area. Very pissed n then it's now even portioned accurately. It's lopsided n discussing. I am so pissed n angry. I'll never go back to Against All Odds ever. read more

I can't say enough good things about Against All Odds! The guys run a clean, "above board" shop, and do beautiful work. You know the tattoo shops that are full of arrogant pricks who emit the vibe that you're lucky to be in their presence? You won't find a trace of that here. David Carter tattoo'd my daughter and he was professional and thoughtful at every turn. We never felt rushed and he patiently fleshed out several ideas with her. She is beyond thrilled with the results! I had an opportunity to chat with Thomas, the owner, and he's very passionate about the shop. We will definitely be back... read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I went to get a piercing in line with all my other ones, and it was completely off. To the point where all my friends who went with me where even like, no thats terrible. I went back in, expecting them to make it better, but instead, Caroline, the piercer got very defensive and wouldn't do anything to help it but yell at me. Don't go here to get piercings, make the drive to Atlanta. read more

lady on the phone was rude and unhelpful, hung up on me before i could ask when a piercer would be available.

Great tattoo artist with a great imagination. After getting screwed with at voodoo, i came here. Small shop and clean. He had his portfolio out for anybody to see which is a huge plus. I had a huge chest piece of a poem that i made. He listened to every word and every idea i had. He drew up sketches of designs for a better chest piece. He was nice and not pushy just for a sale. You could tell he cared about his work. So he said he would make a more detailed design and to come back tomorrow,noting that i could come to him at any time if i wanted anything added or changed. So next day he shows me what he put together and it was perfect. The tattoo took about 3hrs and for the most part not a big deal till he hit the sternum. Great tattoo, great artist. I recommend the shop to all my friends over voodoo. read more
