I came here out of weighing my options, and I'm so glad I did. I came in Friday to get a matching tattoo with my bestfriend, I was immediately greeted by the piercer (Tre), the wait wasn't very long, and the place was very clean. Ron did our tattoos, he was done really quick. It was a one and done kind of thing. I then recommended my sister and her boyfriend go see them Saturday and give Michael a chance. So they did, and I'm beyond pleased with his work, his vibe, and how gentle he is. In just ONE WEEKEND Michael has done work on my sister, her boyfriend, our mother and myself. I 10/10 recommend getting work done by Michael! And maybe even a piercing by Tre! Read Less

went to get my ears pierced by tre. they had awesome deals at the time I went like wear a onesie and get 10$ off per piercing and buy 2 get 1 free. I got three piercings for the price of one. Tre did an awesome job. The piercings were even and the process was smooth and easy. and Meredith is also super cool and definitely looked out for my well-being and made sure I was informed on things. The vibe of the shop was also chill and really cool with good music playing loud and that definitely helped my nerves too. The place was clean and tidy!! I will come back again for future piercings for sure! Read Less

I asked for a simple cat tattoo. Just of a shaded in black cat face and whiskers... the artist rushed and it honestly looks nothing like what I asked for. I asked the artist to pull up the picture I wanted off google and he said I can just free hand it, when he showed me the one he did, it was not symmetric at all, which I told him and he said he would fix it on the one he traced for the transfer paper. He finished my tattoo in 3 min and I mentioned how the whiskers were way to close together and he said it was fine..All and all I am just very sad with how this turned out. I will attach the exact photo of the tattoo I asked for. Read Less

Just had a piece done by Nick. He did an awesome job. Definitely will be going back. Everything was clean and everyone was laid back and took time to listen to what you wanted and didn't make you feel pressured. Read Less

I’ve been to Unique Ink twice now and both times I saw Ron. He first did a line tattoo for me that I love, painless and beautifully done. The second time he did both my nipple piercings for me which was great. I was nervous but it was really painless and over before I knew it! I recommend Ron to anyone wanting any kind of tattoo or piercing in the Kennesaw area. I won’t go to anyone else! Read Less

I went to Unique Ink for the Friday the 13th flash sale. The wait was long but that is to be expected with flash sales. The artist who tattooed me is still apprenticing I believe. He was very slow and heavy handed. I know tattoos aren't supposed to feel good but it's still tolerable. A heavy hand makes it feel excruciating. Read Less

A couple friends and I got a tattoo here on a Friday the 13th by Ron. The staff was super nice and made us feel comfortable. They did not mind 3 girls taking their time looking through flash trying to decide what they want... For the size of the tattoo and being a Friday the 13th event I think the detail in my tattoo is awesome. My friends have gone back to get Ron to do bigger tats for them. I will definitely be going back when I figure out what I want to get for my dad's memorial tattoo. Read Less

Great tattoos, great prices and great people. I've come to this shop for all my art and all my pieces are awesome, can always come back afterwords to get your healing process double checked and can always ask for some of the artists great work. Got a large fore arm tattoo here and it cost me 100 flat other shops were telling me 2.5 times that price for smaller and less detailed tattoos. Great shop great prices 10/10 would go again. Read Less

I had a very good experience at this place. Its very clean and the wait was pretty short. I had my work done by ron and he was pretty amazing. I will definitely continue to come here for any future tattoos. Read Less

Love the service and general atmosphere. Picture is of a quick rainbow I got in bisexual colors. In and out real quick with some good convo. They also do peircings and have a good social media presence . Read Less

The guy working today was less than pleasant. He mumbled a lot of what he was saying so I couldn't quite hear him nor understand him. Told him I wanted my nose pierced and sat down. He rushed through the whole process, didnt let me chose my jewelry and didn't tell me any after care instructions NOTHING. Finished and told me okay you're good it's $40. I paid. Thanked him and walked out and used my phone to see what it looked like and my nose was bleeding. I get that happens this isn't my first piercing but he didn't even bother to clean it up or anything. So here's a picture of me walking out with blood dripping. Thanks dude. Didn't even thank me for my business. Read Less

if i could give this place a zero i would. i came here to get my industrial done and the guy pierced it wrong. for one he didn't show me the markings. when i asked if he was going to clean my ear he said "nah your ear is good" and when he dropped a tool that he was using to pierce me he asked my ungloved boyfriend to hand it to him. i had to go back and get it repierced because the first time he pierced it with a tongue ring and then the second time he pierced it he used a ring that is used for a back of the neck piercing or a neck piercing. he piercers name was nick he has brown hair. DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS. tattoos i can say nothing about but piercings are a no-go if this guy is going to be working. Read Less

I had the pleasure of having my work completed by Ron. He took the time to speak to me before hours and answered all I needed to choose this location for my artwork. Tattoo artist need to have the freedom to speak frankly and upfront on their work without typical every day joe walking in. He was perfect the shop was perfect and pricing was on point! Nice job Ron and you will be seeing me again!!! Read Less

I came here 3 weeks ago for nipple piercings & I had a great experience with Nick (I pray that's his name). He was professional and made me feel extremely comfortable, almost like I've known him for years. He did a great job ! Seriously, he was awesome. No bleeding, no soreness, great healing process. I will definitely be back! Read Less

Friday the 13th back in october the place was packed, we waited for a very long time but we had a ton of fun and got some cool tats!The conversation with the artists was really nice, and i got a lil tat on my side boob, which really really hurt but he didn't take long with it, he got in and out and i managed Read Less

Nick and Ron are amazing! I was in and out in no time, and You never felt rushed! You talked directly to them and feel welcome anytime. Skills are on point and they make you want to return for more!!! A+ Read Less

We made an appointment last week for Saturday at noon. I came in from Ohio to get my neice a tattoo for her graduation. The staff never showed up as we waited an hour. Highly dissapointed. Very unprofessional if I could give zero stars I would seeing that this appointment was the point of my whole trip. Read Less

couple of weeks ago i got my cartilage done here , and it felt like it wasn't done properly like it was bending my ear like my ear was literally bent ? so i thought it was because i had big ears you know ? but my friend that has the same piercing as me told me that wasn't correctly... so my friend took me to lucky draw and the guy said did you pierce this yourself ?i said no, he said well who ever did it must been an amateur... so then i told him exactly where i got it done , he told me that this place is very unprofessional and has people that try piercings for fun ... i went back there and ask for the lady and the MANAGER said " she's not a piercer... i said this lady pierced my ear and she doesn't pierce ; he didn't even apologize about it at all he did was pulled her to the side and talked to her. i walked out because they gonna get a huge call soon (:.. guy CLAIRS CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS PLACE DONT GO HERE (: Read Less

This place is very unprofessional. After calling around to different places, i chose this place & 1. The female piercer didn't clean/sterilize my nose, where she would be piercing. 2. The chair she told me to sit in was broken and she blamed the piercing to be too difficult because of my height. She did not tell me to go somewhere else, instead she continued to do it. I should have taken the initiative myself and left because it did not seem like she knew what she was doing. The next day i visit another shop to change my ring because it was HUGE on my face. They told Me she didn't even pierce the right spot & the wrong ring which is why it was huge. I had to take it out and get it completely repierced in the right spot. They also told me she could have damaged a nerve where she pierced. I called this place and the owner answers, i explain the situation and his response is "oh, she's not even a piercer. She's a tattoo artist who told me she pierces" uhmmm excuse me? Unprofessional, rude, and NOT EVEN LICENSED TO PIERCE. Health services WILL BE hearing about this place. SHUT THIS FILTHY PLACE DOWN!!!!!!! Read Less

I am a teacher. When I was formerly in school the big push was to learn, gain knowledge, know lots of stuff, do well on tests, and be smart. All of that still has its place of course. However, the soft skills are very very important. Can you get along with people? Work collaboratively on a team or a project? Can you do your part of the job? Can you become multi skilled? Do you empathize with people? What the hell does this have to do with getting a tattoo? I got my first tattoo last night at Unique Ink. My first interaction was with Ron via phone. He let me know they were open, I wondered because of the blizzard! He let me know they were tweaking a few things at the shop and that otherwise would have normal hours. I arrived around 730. I was greeted by Ron and another artist there. They have great team chemistry. This was to be my first tattoo. Of many? Maybe. Virgin tattoo was me! I asked Ron a bunch of questions. I showed him a few pictures of what I thought. He gave me his honest opinion on the pictures I showed him. We agreed on an enhanced version of a pic I had! The other artist actually drew up the stencil. It was almost time to rock and roll. I loved the fact that the two artists had that kind of collaboration. I did tell Ron I was a big pussy and was worried about the pain. He said it was like scratching a sun burn. I was thinking, Ow! I went back and Ron did his prep thing. He got to it. I was anxious as hell. The first few click click clicks from the needle and we were off. It was a few minutes later, probably 7 minutes later I started to get light headed. Ron had told me if I needed to stop to let him know. I did. I was sweating profusely. I was light headed. For a minute I thought I was going to puke. I moved over to another chair for a few minutes. I was embarrassed as hell. I apologized profusely. I didn't know if I would be able to continue. Then I thought yes. Then I thought what if this happens again. We resumed. About 10-12 minutes went by, and I started to get light headed again. Damn! We stopped again. I apologized profusely again. I felt terrible. We resumed. About 15 minutes went by. For the love, here we go again. Damn it. I'm embarrassed as hell. Ron has told me repeatedly, don't worry this thing happens from time to time. It was sort of like masturbation, it is embarrassing until you realize most people do it. Ron thought the issue was that I hadn't eaten. I ordered Uber Eats and Baby Tommys pizza came. It was delicious. Next time it will be Marietta Pizza since it is around the corner. Pizza came. Ron and I had our first dinner together! We resumed. We rocked and rolled. He finished outline. I finally looked at the tattoo. We took another quick break, this time it was preplanned! We resumed. He finished up after about another 45 mins. No more light headedness! Ron was right. Ron did an amazing job on the tattoo. He rocked. I was so pleased with the work. He told me any time I needed a touch up to come see him. So I stretched a 2 hourish tattoo into about a 3.5 hourish tattoo. I told Ron since he had to smoke so much I had to buy him a pack of cigarettes. Lol. I bought lotto tickets, watched movies, got a tattoo, had an argument with the wife, and bought cigarettes all in one day! I came back with six packs! I think he was genuinely thankful. I know I was genuinely thankful. The price of the tattoo was way less than Psycho Tattoo. I'll be able to get three Unique Ink Tats for the price of two over at Psycho. I believe we get what we pay for. I'm happy as a pig in shit with my tattoo! So in this case I got a great looking tattoo at a great price. Ron rocks. His work was great. His soft skills, empathy, patience, team work, and over all genuineness are why I will be returning, on a full stomach, to Unique Ink. Read Less

Update to preview review:After discussion with Kim and finding out that Monster is no longer there I gave them another shot and am incredibly pleased with the tattoo and the experience. Thank you Ron! Thank you Kim! I'll be back. Read Less

One of the things I appreciated about Ron was he took me seriously and didn't disregard me when I walked through the door. He even told us he loved doing what I was asking for. He was very respectful and friendly through out the tattooing process.  I was very happy with the result! Read Less

Started coming here for Friday the thirteenth and got my first tattoo by Ron and he was awesome at helping me feel comfortable! I have been coming in ever since for my last tattoo... The environment is so friendly. The shop is very clean and pricing was awesome. Love it here !! Read Less

My friend and I were looking for a shop one day that allowed walk ins. Found this shop in Marietta Square and was invited in. Very clean and professional, definitely not a "let's do this, give me your money and scram" type of shop. They always allow walk ins and appointments no matter what. They answered any questions I had for them and made sure I was very comfortable while getting my tattoo. I will definitely be coming back here in the future! Read Less

I left a "tip" for the mobile users, but it is worth repeating for the desktop crowd. Let me tell ya: Great artists here. Josh Bowden is meticulous about his work.  He created a design that was even better than I imagined. I get complements on it all the time. The owner is a great guy and made me feel important while I was there. I highly recommend this shop. Their studio is very clean and comfortable, and it's easy to spend a few hours here. They work by appointment or walk-in, based on availability. I'm already thinking about what I want to get next! Read Less
