Never ever go to this place.   I made an appointment with Victor.   He said you have to pay $50 to reserve an appointment and it's nonrefundable if you don't show up.   I showed up.   HE didn't.  Nobody at the parlor was there or wouldnt answer any texts or calls.   I even called victors personal number about 20 times.   He knew I was leaving the country in a few days so that was absolutely the only time I could come.  He didn't even write back until 4 hours that day.   His excuse... I got hammered at my sister's wedding (so he blew off my appointment without even telling me not to waste my time driving to the shop. Since I was out of the country, I had my mother drive up there to collect my deposit.   Victor said it was nonrefundable because he did artwork for it... Which he completely lied about.  My mom said,  sure give me all the artwork and we will call it even.  He realized he got caught in a lie and started stuttering and making excuses about why he couldn't give it to her. So after Victor got caught lying and realized he might even be charged with fraud/theft,  he relunctantly paid back the deposit that was ridiculous in the first place. Their tattoos suck anyways. They don't do good lines.   They don't do good shading.   They don't show up to their appointments. I don't understand how they are still open. Read Less

I think this is more the place to go if you just want a tattoo. I had a double nose piercing by the girl with green hair and I truly don't understand why she pierced me with a 16 gauge needle for my nostril. My nose is tiny and when you look to purchase jewelry for your nose, the most common gauges are 18 and 20 or smaller. You will not find 16 gauge jewelry in the store. You can find it online but then you have to wait for a minute to get it. And the pain of the piercing was so bad that my hands were shaking by the time I got to my car. I know you will feel pain no matter the gauge but the first time I had my nose pierced a couple of years earlier, it wasn't as terrible. I had to shrink my face up and make a sucking sound that occurs with pain. Piercer told me I could go down to an 18 or a 20 with no problem but I think that's hassle and I'd rather it be pierced at the 18 or 20 to begin with. A 16 gauge just shouldn't be used on the nostril. It is just too big. I give it 2 stars because the cleanliness and sanitation was top notch. I won't be going back to Atomic Tattoo again though.

Anything dealing with a piercing do not let the green haired chic do it. First off she didn't know what she was doing with my nose piercing turning it from a fast process of maybe 30 seconds to 5 minutes of stretching the hole, putting the needle in and out, re-doing it, etc. not to mention the pain the stretching caused. And not only that, but all of this for nothing. Because now due to her putting a ring in too small , in a hole too big, I have to remove it, let it heal and do it all over again !! Read Less

Jesse not only did a great job on the signature tattoo I came in to get, but accommodated my last minute whims to add dates to an old tattoo and then update the color of it! Great place and Jesse does awesome work, highly recommend. Read Less

Tiffany was awesome, she pierced my septum. I visited twice before actually getting pierced just to ask questions and she was patient, informative, and friendly. I also checked out a shop in Macon and they claimed their piercer was better and costs were less, was not true! I am glad that I picked Atomic. I have not had any problems and I am sure it is because Tiffany and others at Atomic have high standards of cleanliness and professionalism! Read Less

Got this done about 4 months ago. The shop is very clean. Staff is friendly. Obviously very talented artists. It would have been really easy to screw this up but I love the result. Definitely going back soon! UPDATE: 10/29/16 Got my medusa piercing. Lovely experience, as always! ❤️ Read Less

Jesse Returns is fantastic! Had two tattoos done by him and definitely plan on coming back for more! He has fantastic bedside manner, so if you're nervous getting your first tattoo, he's definitely the guy to go to. Super chill, understanding, and talented. His designs are one of a kind! Everything always healed well and looks fantastic. If you're looking for quality, great atmosphere, and one of a kind designs, he's your man. Can't wait to come back. Thank you Jesse! Read Less

I was extremely satisfied with my two tattoos and multiple piercings done here. Both were by different artists and they both did a more than excellent job. I got my first tattoo here and my artist talked to me the whole way through it and was extremely kind. The other artist I had was very funny and we joked a lot. The piercer is amazing in every single way! My naval piercing rejected and he redid it free of charge. He also did great on my two nose piercings. If anyone is getting a piercing I recommend this shop. Read Less

Not sure about the other artist..but I DO NOT recommend GARRETT. Shop was nice & clean. Professional atmosphere as you walk in...stopped in with a friend to see about getting a tattoo drawn up. Sign the form, paid the deposit, made an appt to get tattoo. Called a few days later (as dude said to do) to check on the status, was told it would be ready on a particular day (WHICH WAS 10 DAYS LATER). Showed up to see the drawing, dude goes in the back...10 - 20 - 30 mins later...after I've lost all patience; after textin my friend saying I think this dude just went to draw it up just now; after I repeatedly asked how much longer and was told he was coming out numerous times and he didn't...he finally comes out and looks at me like I'm crazy for being pissed. Then he tries to lie and say he had it drawn up but was getting it ready for me to see it...for 30 MINS!!! (and he had another customer waiting for him after me) No refund, no apology, no appt....worse tattoo attempt EVER! ON TOP OF ALL THAT...A QUICK GLANCE AT THE DRAWING....NOTHING LIKE I ASKED HIM. Which I'm sure after 10 days, he doesn't remember what I showed him for reference.... Read Less

I walked in and met with James about getting my back piece finished. After telling him what I wanted we agreed to schedule it the next day. He did a wonderful job! He free handed the design and captured exactly what I wanted. It took 4 1/2 hours to finish (mostly my own fault for needing to take breaks during the spine part) and the price was very reasonable! He wasn't talkative during the process which I really appreciated so I was able to "zone" out. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had a butterfly done that was supposed to be colored teal and white for cervical cancer and he added red to it. But all in all I have a beautiful piece that I'm proud of! I would definitely go back. Read Less
