Even though it had not been used and the number on the card said it had $100 credit on it. This business is not honest and stole $100. Unbelievable!

When we got there the process moved quickly, was very clear and everyone was friendly. Pretty good selection of jewelry with lots of options. Everything looked clean and felt private. Desiree did an incredible job! She was very patient, friendly, professional and did an incredible job on all three piercings! We loved all of the art in the gallery and overall look of the place.

Why say you take walk-ins when you clearly can't handle walk-ins? There was zero communication from the two front desk workers.

We have now made an appointment at a parlor in Woodstock GA that takes appointments so my daughter won't be disappointed like this again. If you want to wait on an uncomfortable wooden bench for 3hrs with no updates throughout, go for it, but i won't be coming back.

The woman at the front desk who was very unapproachable with a bunch of facial piercings was the reason I could not return to the shop. I called in a panic because I was not given a heads up. They just told me they would walk me through the aftercare process. I have several tattoos from this artist and it was very unfair because of one person that I was denied to retouch. Her opinion will hurt her business & her coworkers. I worked in the Beauty business for nearly 30 years. This is not how any client should be treated.

It was only about a 15 minute wait, because I was a walk-in and Dane was finishing up a tattoo. My piercing was done briefly, and Dane gave me all of the after care information that I needed. It was a plus that he was very nice also. The establishment is very clean, and since it's winter they had this space heater that felt SO good. I love the way my piercing looks, and it is healing properly. I will be back, I promise!

Looking at the website, I was immediately drawn to Jinx as a queer person looking to get a nerdy tattoo, and I'm so glad I decided to go with them! The shop itself is very clean and bright with relaxing house music playing. If you're nervous about going to a typical tattoo parlor, definitely consider coming here! Jinx was lovely the whole way through and really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and knew what was going on every step of the way. I never once felt uncomfortable or unsure in the process, and that was really reassuring as a tattoo newbie. Their work was exactly what I wanted and I am so glad I decided to take the plunge and finally get tattooed. I will 10000% be back for something else by Jinx! (I'll add photos once healed :))

After…read moreresearching artists both locally and on the West Coast, I flew out from Oregon specifically to book a day session with Oz while visiting my husband in Atlanta and it was worth every mile. Oz took our initial concept and elevated it into a true work of art. Not only is he a brilliant artist, but he's also a total professional and a fantastic communicator. He has an incredibly light hand, which made the long session much more comfortable than I expected. He checked in on us constantly, kept us laughing all day, and was even flexible enough to squeeze in a tiny, last-minute dinosaur! The talent throughout the entire shop is clearly top-tier, and the high-end atmosphere makes the experience even better. This is by far the best tattoo I've ever received. Oz is a master of his craft, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend!

I've had 9 tattoos and 11 piercings over the last 20 years so I have been to a few shops! I stumbled upon Olde School when I wanted to get my septum pierced and Jeremy was AWESOME! He's so friendly and also quick, I barely felt the piercing.. sincerely! Every time I've been to the shop he and the gals at the front are welcoming and smiling. While checking out I looked at the artwork for Ash Munn and decided to come back for a small tattoo to see how we could collaborate for a big piece I have wanted for a long time. I got a tiny matching tattoo with my husband and during the session I talked about what I was looking for in a back piece. Let me just say, she LISTENED and delivered! She captured all of the themes/elements/textures I wanted and wrapped them into a beautiful piece of artwork! I always feel so comfortable in her chair, for example, my first line work session I was booked for the day but tapped out after a few hours... unlike most artists she was so accommodating and was kind. My next two sessions I got into a deep trance state almost and the feeling was cathartic and therapeutic, exploring deep pain and feeling the physical representation of that emotional state... I trusted her as my guide on this dark journey and I felt seen and supported. She is a fantastic artist and also is quick, which helps a lot! We still have a few sessions to go but here is the progress so far! Highly recommend this shop/Ash

Super embarrassing for me and super clutch save for Mark. We shared a laugh and I was on my way. Most artists could give a damn about you as a person and just want your money.
