He does a lot of amazing work, but I was specifically looking for that style and found him at a convention a few years ago. I have a sleeve that is a mix of work from Dylan and another artist in North Carolina, so I asked Dylan if he could fill in the background with his water color style. I love it.

Overall: Great experience, would definitely recommend…read more Parking: plenty of parking is available as the shop is located in a shopping plaza. Took my nephew to get his ear pierced & so glad we chose this place. From calling to inquire about an appointment vs walking in, I was treated professionally and all my questions were satisfactorily answered. The shop is clean and all of the staff are professional & very knowledgeable. The receptionist (sorry I didn't get her name) was super sweet & friendly. Ken pierced my nephew's ear. He was very quick but made also sure to give tips on after-care. Should my nephew decide to do anything else, I would definitely go back and would recommend this shop to anyone else. Prices are also very reasonable! Definitely glad we selected this shop!

I took my son to get several piercings because this place came very highly rated on Google. He got…read morehis eyebrows and both nostrils of his nose pierced. We got in quickly. Howard, who has been piercing for 30 years, was very professional. He cleaned and sterilized everything and thoroughly explained the process making us feel very comfortable. The process was pretty efficient and the price comparable to other places. It was also nice that the price included the jewelry. All in all, the service was impeccable, parking plentiful, the establishment was clean and I would definitely recommend Howard for piercing.

The young lady that…read morepick up the phone told me that I could walk in and then they weren't taking any new piercing people and then they didn't have any time I would've had to wait an hour. When I spoke to him, he told me to come back at 7:30 I came back at 7:28 and the young lady answered his personal cell phone and said I'm sorry that he told you that we would be available but we're not taking any more people... Horrible customer service.

It was definitely busy, but We had a ball!! Who knew a tattoo shop could feel like cheers. I definitely love the staff. Ok yall - The important stuff: Parking: free Price: Great, reasonable Service: Prompt, attentive, professional without being stiff or stuck up or southern sassy Ambiance: Parlor perfect, hip, contemporary Most Liked: People, price, convenience Least Liked: My planning - I loved it ALL. Only regret is Wishing I had more time to get more stuff that day. Okay now for some outside tea with Tri: I found them on Google and then IG. I chose them for nice neighborhood and also a special so I could see if they would be good for return business before investing in a large commitment. THEY ARE WORTH IT!! I brought my magnificent friend here for a birthday surprise and they were so helpful in making it enjoyable. Maui I was our artist and she is a whole lotta fun wrapped in artwork. Let me tell you my girl is beautiful, talented and funny. She doesn't play about her work though she stood on business and hit the spot with great strokes and light pokes. She was focused, not heavy handed and hella quick. She's also talented in various types of art. I will definitely be back to see her. My friendbae aka my family aka the birthday woman loved her experience and will be going back as well. I will keep yall posted on more ink. Go see them for yourself! 10 out of 10 we recommend

I can't speak to their normal tattooing process. But their friday the 13th is an absolute mess. I…read morewould NOT recommend them to anyone looking to enjoy a fun flash experience. I went to them for the last friday the 13th and the process was a little confusing and very long (as is expected) but ultimately I got a lovely tattoo at a discounted rate and only had to sit on the floor for a couple of hours. Yesterday I went back to them for another friday the 13th... the positives: - check in was smooth - they upgraded their waiting process so you could leave the shop - flash sheets were nicely organized when you arrived to the shop the negatives: -Flash was not posted at the start of ticket sales -Entirety of flash was not available on their instagram or eventbrite (where they sell tickets for the event) -flash pricing tiers were not communicated clearly online -texting service was NOT utilized to provide any helpful communication all in all this will be my LAST friday the 13th with atlanta ink. We arrived in shop at 8:15 to check in for our 8pm-12am ticket slot. We returned to the shop at 11:45 after hearing nothing to be informed they'd be closing the shop at 12am and that we could come back anytime during the month to receive our tattoos. I respect them allowing their artists to rest, but incredibly frustrating that this was not communicated any sooner. I spoke to someone who checked in at 7:45 and was also not tattooed for the same slot. texted communication about the store closing at midnight was sent out at 12:23. No apology was made either. Beyond upset that a system promised to notify us of our slot 30-45 minutes in advance couldn't be any quicker with reaching out about being oversold on a capped ticketed event. they kept my money so i'll be going to get my tattoo sometime this month but after that, i'll be seeking better businesses to support.

They were able to accommodate three of us as walk-ins for small, simple designs. David, who tattooed all three of us, was great. I'm taking off a star because the space was really small and crowded, which meant artists and clients sometimes have to shift around to let people walk through to the bathroom, but the quality of the service, the skill of the artists, and the price are all excellent.

Then their vibes were very odd and they kept trying to change a simple tattoo because they "couldn't do it" and said a 30 min max job would take an hour. We left our number and went to the car because they had two people in waiting to be worked on and within 5 minutes of us leaving both artists walked out and sat on the curb and took a smoke break... with people waiting and all. Don't recommend if you're looking for a good shop.
