Super clean place with really nice people. My friend came here to see Hank to get a thin line tattoo and she got exactly what she wanted. There's a sign on the door that says to make sure the sketch looks how you want it and Hank was super patient about changing my friend's sketch when she wasn't really sure. The tattoo came out great and she would highly recommend Hank!! Read Less

This review is long overdue, but Only You Tattoo did an amazing job with a cover-up on a back-piece.  Specifically, Theo took me as a walk-in and worked with me to find something that looked better than expected. The price was more than fair; due to it being a cover-up, I did take him on his touch-up offer after a couple weeks.  The quality and level of skill in this shop is amazing.  If you're considering getting some new ink, definitely consider this shop - you won't be disappointed!

The place is eclectic near Grant Park. The people are all very friendly but Kylie was superb! A cute southern girl that listened to my vision and then helped me make it a reality. Very clean place and would definitely go back. Read Less

The entire staff was really nice, helpful and Danielle was well worth waiting 3 months for. I didn't trust anybody in Columbus to do my tattoos, and I'm glad I made the drive up. She combined black dot and line work, color shading, and geometric designs so well. I would never go anywhere else in ATL. Read Less

I had a great experience. I called during the earlier part of the day on a week day and asked if they were taking walk ins. They asked what I wanted which I told them and they said “sure, we’ll take care of you.” They were super nice over the phone and in person. I got a forearm tattoo. It was done by Hank. Hank was a good guy. I paint and draw myself so to witness their traditional artwork which they have displayed all over the shop was amazing. You can really just walk in and pick something off the wall if you don’t have an idea in mind prior to, and there’s so much to choose from. My tattoo’s still healing somewhat because it’s only been a few weeks however the tattoo came out beautifully. Read Less

I have so many hours of tattoos from these guys and I will continue getting many more hours. Every single person in the shop is WONDERFUL. Their skill levels are incredible, they have great personalities, and it always feels like home stepping into the shop. If you’re looking for a great tattoo shop, look no further. Read Less

GREAT experience! Friendly/welcoming environment. Kind/patient staff. I got my 4th & biggest tattoo here by Theo who did a wonderful job! Very reasonably priced. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Read Less

My experience here was great. I called in for a consultation with Jake, and he ended up having time to sketch my design and tattoo me that day, since he had had a cancelation. He listened to all of my input about the design, down to shading. The space was clean, open, and very welcoming. Read Less

I have been to (and continue to go to) tattoo shops all over the country since Ima souvenir collector. Not just the best shop in Atlanta, best I’ve been to from San Francisco to NYC. Every person working there has worked on me and I have always been impressed. Work done here gets complimented everywhere I go. Don’t hesitate to see anyone in this shop for anything. Read Less

Got here on a whim after brunch down the street. Easy to find since it is on a main road, some parking but not an incredible availability of slots. Waiting area inside is really small but covered in artwork which is awesome. There are also some benches outside. Inside the shop looks really clean and I think it has a cool vibe. I went in and it was pretty steady customer wise but everyone was so friendly. They thought that a customer was going to cancel last minute so they took me right away without an appointment. I chose a cute little lotus for my forearm which was tattooed by Kylie who was super friendly and incredibly talented. Prices are extremely reasonable and I had a great experience. Read Less

What a great experience—I could not be happier with my tattoo! I absolutely love it! Great vibe, everyone was so friendly and the shop is very clean! Thank you SO much Danielle— I can’t wait to get more!Read Less

I first came here to get some cover up work done. It was quite a job and it turned out amazing! I was so happy with it, I immediately knew I'd get Danielle to do my next tattoo. Couldn't be happier with the next tattoo she did, either. I'll be back soon! Good vibe, good conversation. Read Less

Got tattooed by Theo today and am extremely pleased with everything involved. Excellent custom work, clean and comfortable atmosphere, very professional, I can’t say enough how much I appreciated the experience. Theo did everything he could to make my tattoo perfect and make me fee like a champ. Hell I even think he deserves more than his pricing calls for. Super stoked, will definitely be making him my Atlanta artist. Read Less

I had a fantastic day with Danielle yesterday! We did a cover up on an 8 year old tat on my hip. Came out GORGEOUS and just as I had envisioned! She also reworked another tat that’s a hummingbird and what an incredible difference!! The bird now looks very realistic vs having been over simplified. Only You Tattoo was recommended to me, and even though it’s a 2 hour drive away, well worth the trip!! Thank you Danielle! I’m so very happy with what we did yesterday and I’ll see you again! Read Less

I was in ATL for a concert and to celebrate my birthday so I decided it was a good time to get tattoos with my friends. We came in with no appointment but that was no big issue. Me and 2 of my friends were very happy with Jake, our tattoo artist. He was very nice, easy to talk to and professional. He worked us into his schedule and got all 3 of us tattooed pretty quickly. The shop had a nice vibe to it as well. We plan to come back! Read Less

I’ve seen Danielle twice now and I love the work she’s done! Everyone in the shop is so friendly, it’s a very welcoming awesome place! I’m definitely going back for a third! Keep up the good work you guys 👍 Read Less

Last Sunday we set up a appointment with Kylie Greene for this past Tuesday and it was a excellent experience, comfortable shop, friendly environment, and this tattoo is freaking phenomenal! This tattoo is healing up incredibly, so don’t hesitate to make a appointment. Read Less

My friend and I came in for tattoos on Saturday night, and Kylie was excellent! She was patient with me while I tried to explain the design we wanted, and she was gracious and sweet when I asked for a revision to the first sketch. Truly professional caliber character and a great artist - the tattoos are exactly as we wanted. Very satisfied, and will be back soon for my next tat! :D Read Less

I got a tattoo done with Kylie on Friday after working with her over e-mail to set up something for when I'd be in ATL on a trip. I was amazed watching her work. I honestly can't stop staring at how clean the lines are. I've had some good tattoos (and some really bad tattoos), but this has to be the cleanest art on my entire body. She also turned my ideas and references into the perfect tattoo and worked with me to make sure that everything translated into a nice piece while also being what I wanted. I can't recommend her enough and I'm glad I chose her for this particular design. Read Less

Great people and a great shop! I found the shop by a simple google search and I am sure glad I did. All of my tattoos have been done by Jake and they have turned out fantastic. I need to go back and finish my leg up. Read Less

Let me start with how much I love my piece. I couldn't cry in the shop because I'm a hysterical crier but this tattoo is exactly how I pictured it. I came to Danielle with only a concept, not a single reference. She took word vomit and made it into nothing short of a masterpiece. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and Kylie did an amazing job! It seems to be healing up nicely and I am in love with it! All the staff was professional, kind, and clean. Will probably come back here again for more from their talented artists. Thank you Only You Tattoo, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Read Less

After a horrible experience visiting another local tattoo shop, I stopped in Only You Tattoo and immediately knew this was where I would be getting my tattoo. I was greeted by Theo, who ended up being my artist. I can't say enough about his customer service and abilities! He was kind, heard what I wanted and developed a few sketches until he nailed it on the head. The tattoo itself was painless (for me, at least) and Theo's work was, and IS gorgeous! I recommend OYT (everybody was awesome) and especially Theo! Read Less

Theo did an excellent job!!! I got a signature from Paul McCartney, my idol! And Theo helped my dream come true and made it permanent on my skin forever! Very friendly and nice environment!!! Thank you Theo so so much!!! Read Less

I went in to Only You to have my first tattoo done after considering a few different places. I called a couple hours before I went in and was lucky enough to make a quick appointment for that afternoon. When I got there, I met the guy who was going to be doing my tattoo: Hank. From the start Hank was very friendly and interested in what I had to say about my tattoo. He kept me informed about what was going on, made sure that I was comfortable the entire time, and from start to finish was an awesome guy. While there was not a significant amount of back and forth discussion over a sketch, I'm still incredibly pleased with how the tattoo came out. I would highly recommend him to anybody, and if I ever consider getting another tattoo, he'll be the first person I call. He made the whole experience an easy 5-star review. Read Less

Great experience here! I was visiting from out of town and they were very accommodating to get me in with a short time span. Chose those place because of the reviews posted and they did not disappoint. Clean, very friendly staff and incredible work done. He finished it faster than I expected. Great guys. Definitely check this place out!Read Less

Awesome vibes only in this place. I've had two pieces done by Charles Chatov and I'll be coming back for more. Super professional, super chill to hang with, and most importantly - they get amazing work done. Check em out! Read Less

Awesome tattoo shop. Everyone who works here is professional and friendly. The shop is always clean, and I am always greeted when I walk in the door. Both tattoo artists I worked with did an excellent job to make sure that I was satisfied with my tattoos. I would recommend OYT to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Read Less

Having been tattooed by Danielle a few times now I am always impressed by the professionalism and cleanliness that comes from this shop. This is a custom shop which is what makes it great. Overall I like the feel of the shop and the location is a little better than the previous spot. There is a solid team in place here and they are always there to work with you. Every time I come back to visit this place is always on my list! Read Less

I got tattooed by Danielle yesterday afternoon. I love how she is able to listen to the idea of what I want and piece it together. She's methodical, accurate and a perfectionist. Her touch is light and she is fast! I always enjoy my time with her and I love my growing art collection. 😍 Read Less

Great shop very friendly staff, I was a walk in and was very happy they were able to fit me in. Kylie did a great job and super pleased the way the tattoo came out. I would highly recommend this shop if you are in the Atlanta area. Read Less

I had a fantastic experience at Only You. About a year ago I got that "tattoo itch" and set up a consultation with Matt, whose work I had perused on Instagram and thought would be the best fit to design a tattoo for me. I consulted with him in January 2016 and told him about my idea for a peacock tattoo on my upper back. I took my ideas and left them with him and came back a few weeks later for my first session. After a few tweaks, he was reving up the needles and we were underway. The piece ended up being more extensive than we both thought, so it took about 9 hours and 3 sessions to complete. I am still so thrilled with the artwork and am proud to wear my tattoo by Matt! Read Less

this shop has some of the nicest people ever in the tattoos industry I had Charles for a walk in session. He was extremely polite and drew a tattoo for me, warned me about all the things that could possibly go wrong with hand tattoos and helped me make an informed decision on the placement. Really enjoyed my experience here I recommend this place to all my friends! Read Less

I always do a ton of research on tattoo shops in the local area before I commit to one, and I happened to stumble upon this gem of a place. I was looking for someone to do a specific style (linework, stippling, geometric, that kind of deal), and Jake Wilkes seemed like the perfect match. I went in for a consultation that you can book via phone, and Jake was nice and helpful! Everyone I interacted with there were very cool. :D The shop was extremely clean and well taken care of. It has an open floorplan, so you can see everybody getting their tattoos. :PJake executed my ideas so beautifully, it was so much better than I imagined. Lines were impeccable! 10/10 would see him again (and I plan to). Read Less

My sister and i went to Sean for matching tattoos and the whole experience was fantastic. Booking at the shop was super easy, the whole shop was clean, and everyone was really nice. Sean did a great tattoo with super clean line work and was able to use vegan ink to boot! I would definitely  go back here for any future work! Read Less

I'll never go back...my first tatt experience was here and I made an apt and they were an hour late! Charged $80 for a SMALL tattoo and the minimum was $60 which is what the tatt was worth...look at other options before visiting here Read Less

My tattoo artist was Sean and he was soooooooo AMAZING!!! I love that I was able to meet with him and set up an appointment for my tattoo. I emailed him the type of design I was "trying to figure out" and he was able to capture it in his own creative way and I LOVED the design he drew for my thigh tattoo. He was prompt, very professional, and overrall a great artist! I'm overjoyed with my tattoo and look forward to coming back again. Read Less

I stopped by this place due to the 5 star score. It was a Saturday around 12:30 and they had just opened at 12. I went asking about a consult of an idea I had and they were super nice about it. The guy at the front desk said I could come back around 6:30 that night and get it done and it would be no more than $120, perfect. That's my budget. I hated to drive back to cobb county and then back downtown but oh well. I made it to the aquarium to get on 75 north and they called and said they had a cancelation. I could come now! I trucked it back over and worked with Charles. He was super cool and took his time with my design. He didn't get upset when I asked him to re do the drawing and then decided on his first design. He did the tattoo so fast, about 20 mins and gave me several chances to look at it before he started on it. He asked me if I was ok several times during even though I was pretty quiet.  Afterwards, he wrapped me up and gave me specific care instructions. He thanked me,  I paid $100 not including tip and I was out the door. I am sooooo happy I came here. Read Less

Been tattooed by Jake twice, already planning for him to do my next one. I honestly can't recommend this place enough, so a five star review will have to do (unintentional rhyme). Jake has also done 3 of my boyfriend's tattoos, all of them mandalas. Although he's exceptionally talented at tattooing in general, I would have to say mandalas are his specialty. All of the other artists are very talented, as well. I've recommended Only You to multiple people, and they have all had great experiences from every artist. Overall, the place is super laid back, clean, and basically everything you could possibly want a tattoo shop to be. Read Less

Good artists, dope shop, parking sucks but overall one of my favorite places for ink therapy. I got a 1/2 sleeve done here and have received compliments on all my ink. One of the best shops in atlanta and totally worth checking out. Extremely professional and clean. Read Less

For a tattoo shop, Only You runs their place as professional as a doctor's office. From how they treat their customers and listen to their ideas to the appointment reminder phone calls. The place has a comfortable rustic feel but is ultra clean. They treat all their clients with respect and kindness. I've had two large pieces done by Matt on my forearms. The first piece was based off a drawing my wife did. The  second was one I had given Matt some ideas of what I wanted and left to him to come up with the design from scratch. In both instances, he far exceeded my expectations. He listened to my ideas and expounded on them in ways I wouldn't have thought of. His suggestions on colors was fantastic. He is a truly gifted artist whose years of practices shines in his work. I also appreciated that he was just as excited about doing the designs and the results as I was. You really can tell that this is his passion.  I highly recommend them, especially Matt. Read Less

My husband & I checked into a few places to see about getting our tattoos done. The results we very disappointing, until we stopped in at Only You Tattoo!The place was clean, & orderly, the chap at the front desk was super helpful and nice.After going elsewhere and being told at other parlours that they would not do my tattoo because they did not feel confident with the possible results, it was refreshing to go to  Only You Tattoo & hear Jake say he could do it with no problems. Not only did he SAY that he could, HE DID IT exactly as I envisioned it, and it looks beautiful.Jake was fantastic - he was kind & as gentle as he could possibly be & seemed genuinely interested in the back story of the tattoo he was doing for me. I would highly recommend Only You Tattoo to anyone that may be nervous or shy as well - This parlour is filled with good people!! Read Less

My husband and I have come to Only You on several occasions and we always see Charles. He's so fun and easygoing and he does beautiful work. The colors are vibrant and his style is lovely. His laid back manner really helps to relax the situation and it's easy to forget you're being tattooed when he's the one doing it. His work lasts, too, which obviously is a big plus since it's also reasonably priced. We'll be headed back soon and for years to come. Read Less

Danielle is amazing. Any tattoo I've had the privilege of getting from her has been such an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that she always uses placement of a tattoo to compliment the shape of that whatever area she is tattooing. The new shop is beautiful, clean, and very professional. Read Less

One of my favorite shops in Atlanta. I've been lucky to have been tattooed by Danielle a few times and I've always been BEYOND pleased with the results. Not only in the professionalism given, but the ability to work with the artist and come to an end result that meets and exceeds what was imagined going into the process.  Danielle's love for the artistry and integrity of tattooing show greatly through everything that she does. Having been to many tattoo shops across the US, I always felt welcome at Only You, as I found that all of it's artists and staff are down to earth, friendly, enjoyable to spend time amongst and free from the stigma that comes with a lot of shops and /or artists within the industry. Artists like Matt Greenhalgh and Charles Chatov, who are not only masters at their craft, but genuinely just great people along with Danielle make OYT one of the things I miss the most about Atlanta. I always look forward to getting another trip back and getting the opportunity to get worked on by any of the amazing artists at this shop. Read Less

Having been tattooed by Danielle a few times now I am always impressed by the professionalism and cleanliness that comes from this shop. This is a custom shop which is what makes it great. Overall I like the feel of the shop and the location is a little better than the previous spot. There is a solid team in place here and they are always there to work with you.

My Husband and I come down from NY to get tattooed by Danielle.  We try to come down as often as possible. Her work is just amazing. We were just at the new shop in May and it looks fantastic. I like the more intimate feel of the new shop, just you and your artist in one station.  For me, sometimes getting tattooed can be a little intimidating, but Danielle is so welcoming you instantly relax. You can bounce ideas off of her, and she'll run with it creating a design 10X better than what you had in your head. Beyond the design she'll work with you on placement.  Being a lady I sometimes forget how important placement is for us.  We have curves and our bodies change over time, she works with your body to make the piece part of you. This time around my Husband was the one who got tattooed.  Danielle had did some pieces on him that she finished up, and then he added some little pieces to fill in some gaps.  We drove down from NY and our first stop before heading to where we were staying was to Only You. Hanging out with Danielle talking about life since last we saw her, while the hubby got a pain stain was a perfect way to start our ATL stay. Now i'll just end this review by saying this. I've collected a few tattoos over the years, and of the ones my mother ( who is not a fan of tattoos in general) has seen Danielle's is by far her favorite.  I believe she said "mmmm (here marge Simpson's disproving mmm) It's really very nice..... but I still don't want you getting tattooed". If that's not an endorsement I don't know what is. Read Less

I know this shop has a lot of fans, so this review may be an anomaly of an experience.  I came here to get a tattoo by one of the artists.  I went in for a consult and the artist was excited about my idea. When I went in for the actual appointment, I showed up early so I could check out the design beforehand. They weren't there so I waited...and then my appointment time came...and then 25 more minutes passed.  I was there a total of almost 45 minutes at that point, and while I was waiting I saw another artist at the shop give someone a consultation and basically give him a hard time about the design, saying it needed to be blown up bigger etc and told the customer to think it over.  After the customer left, the artist made fun of him and what he wanted to get done, and told the reception guy that he said to blow the size up so he could get more money from him.  Then they both laughed.  After sitting there and seeing that on top of wondering if my appointment had been forgotten about, I was pretty much over it and kind of pissed off.  I told them I had to leave since it seemed the artist wasn't showing up.  Truthfully,  the unprofessional manner in which the other customer was treated right in front of me and how my own time was treated put me off from coming back to this shop.  The artists here are very talented and great at the work they do, but this experience was enough to  send me somewhere else. Read Less

Danielle is a true gem.  It might take several weeks to get an appointment, but it's well worth the wait.  Not only is she extremely talented, she has a calm and welcoming spirit.  I've gone to her twice and enjoyed the conversation each time.  Each time, the work has exceeded my expectations.  I'm a brown-skinned girl and she was able to include colors that pop with my complexion and a design that is clearly visible from a distance. She takes pride in her work and doesn't stop until the design is meticulous.  I've received several compliments.  The girl has skills!The shop is clean and the artists all seem to be very talented.  I can't speak highly enough about this shop.  Do yourself a favor and check them out.  You will not be disappointed.

Danielle, what a find! My wife and I have been kicking around tattoos for years. We're both artists and have always gotten close to committing only to hate what we'd come up with and start over. The time had come for us to both bite the bullet, so we decided to do it together.I spent months asking friends, researching, and reading reviews to find the right shop in Atlanta for us both. When I came across Danielle's work, I knew we'd found our artist. The shop is very cool, they just moved into the new location in January. I've been in a lot of tattoo shops over the years with friends, all over the country, and this is by far the cleanest and most organized one I've ever seen. Booking an appointment was very easy and we were lucky that Danielle just had an opening come up three weeks from when we stopped by to book. A simple and small deposit and we were all set. They called to confirm the day before and were very courteous on the phone as well.When we arrived, the process was quick and Danielle was ready to go not too long after, so far, so good. Everything was explained to us and we didn't feel rushed at all. First, the tattoos and results. My wife and I both are beyond thrilled with the work. The detail, the cleanliness, and the accuracy blew us both away. As a designer who is extremely meticulous about lines, edges, and depth, I never in a million years expected a tattoo to get this close to the page. Danielle has the steadiest hand I've ever seen. People cannot get over how tight the edging and color is. My wife had Danielle create one piece on the fly, more like a painting than deep lines, and it looks like it's leaping off her skin. It is beyond beautiful and Danielle just nailed it.Danielle, the artist, is so great to work with. Of course you can't expect a tattoo artist to be all sweet and sugary, what would be the fun in that. But kind, courteous, patient, informative, and supportive are the words that come to mind. My wife struggled on several false starts with tattoos with feeling intimidated and judged because she didn't have full sleeves from birth I suppose. Not with Danielle, she treated us just like anyone else and we could tell it was genuine. We went back and forth on placement, minor adjustments, and reworking the art and every time she was patient and collaborative.  She gave us just the right balance of advice but not telling us what to do. Overall we spent four hours with her and it flew by. You can just tell that she loves what she does, it shows in her work and her attitude. I just can't say enough about how great she is to work with.Overall, if there is a better tattoo shop in Atlanta then they must be handing out money or unicorns, because that's about all I could ask for on top of this experience. From end to end it was fantastic and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. It's also a bonus that the location is great, right off Memorial next to Ria's Bluebird and Tin Lizzy's, along with a growler bar, so if you've got to hang around for a while it's a great place to be; not some seedy dive down an alley.If I could give these guys 6 stars I would, just beyond pleased. Highest recommendation I can give. Read Less
