Incredible Experience with Marcos Velez at Piedmont Tattoo Parlor…read moreI cannot say enough good things about my experience at Piedmont Tattoo Parlor, especially working with Marcos Velez. From start to finish, Marcos brought an unmatched level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail that made this one of the best tattoo experiences I've ever had. Marcos took the time to really listen to my ideas, asked thoughtful questions, and helped shape the concept into something far better than I imagined. I asked for a hummingbird and floral design, and the final result is nothing short of breathtaking--vibrant, detailed, and absolutely stunning. Every line, shade, and color pops, and it's clear that Marcos is a master of his craft. The hummingbird looks so alive, and the flowers around it are so delicately detailed. Not only is Marcos an incredibly talented artist, but he's also genuinely kind and easy to talk to, which made the entire session comfortable and enjoyable. He creates an atmosphere that makes you feel respected, heard, and excited about your piece. The shop itself is spotless, professional, and full of creative energy, and the staff is welcoming and laid-back. It's clear that everyone at Piedmont Tattoo Parlor takes pride in their work and holds themselves to a high standard--and Marcos is a shining example of that. If you're thinking about getting tattooed by Marcos Velez, do it. His talent speaks for itself, and I'm beyond thrilled with my vibrant hummingbird/floral tattoo. I'll definitely be coming back for more. How's that? I think it perfectly captures the beauty of your piece! Let me know if you want any more tweaks.

I learned that none of the after market piercings would have the length that tattoo artists order…read moreand use. My piercer Jesse hooked me up with a AB stone that provides a comfortable length just as the stud he initially put in as my nostril is thicker. No need for me to look elsewhere other than a tattoo/piercing shop!!! On a different note, I vented about how I had to wait for his shop to open and had called twice before leaving that side of town. Jesse is so calm. I declare! He says very politely that Panda took too long with his food and that he works alone on Wednesdays. But what does he do? He just turns right around and discounts my nose jewelry. He also says he can order my jewelry for me. He is an awesome person. Had he not done that, I still would say the same thing. He is incredible.

Wanted to check out some longer length naval jewelry for my belly button piercing that has been…read moreirritated since I had it done a few years back (pierced elsewhere). Jesse was SO informative and kind about all things piercing--walked me through ways I can help heal my irritation bumps, jewelry length, type of jewelry that will help keep the skin calm, even told me that what I have is technically a "floating naval" which answered a lot of my questions about why it has been irritated and so hard to heal! I bought some new cleanser and a new jewelry piece for healing. Needless to say, if for some reason my piercing doesn't end up calming down, I'll DEFINITELY be coming to Old Cat to get a naval piercing, NOT floating naval, done CORRECTLY!!! They are awesome. Felt super welcoming and very cool art up on the walls as well! Very excited to see their new location.

I wish that I could give this place negative stars. I came here about 5 months ago to get my tragus…read moredone. Fast forward to 5 months later, the tragus piercing wouldn't heal, so I went to another piercer in Atlanta, where I discovered that he had put A NOSE RING in my tragus- I WISH I was kidding. I would encourage people wanting to get pierced to go anywhere else, because you could end up with the wrong jewelry in your piercing.

The guy who did my tattoo did not do a good job. He rushed it and he was impatient with me... it…read morewas my first tattoo and I got it on my spine.... oh yeah and they didn't ID me either and then after that I got my belly button pierced. He pierced it crookedly and didn't grab enough skin... it ended up rejecting. I went to a better parlor in LA. And he fixed my tattoo and he even said he messed up my piercing. But when my husband went apparently he had a good experience. I guess it's just a hit or miss. But I wouldn't go to a parlor where it's a hit or miss. I would honestly just go to Atlanta and find a more professional one.
