Best Tattoo Shops In Atlanta

“My dad and I came in on a Saturday on rather short notice, we're so happy Emily was able to accomodate us! It was both of our first times and we wants a simple tattoo of a child's hand holding a parent's. We were both very nervous about the pain and healing, but Emily is such an excellent communicator! She kept us comfortable, we left knowing everything we had to about the healing, and she eased us into the tattooing process, which made it so much more comfortable. The vibe of the store is welcoming and very cool. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Visited Atlanta for the weekend and stopped by Big Cat Tattoo to get a tattoo touched up. I previously had it done there this past June by someone else. It was nice, just needed to be darker due to my skin tone. David was there and he took GOOD care of me! I LOVE my tattoo! I even had him add 777 above the diamond. David was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. He is also very quick! I didn’t realize he was finished already! Blink of an eye, it was over!! I will definitely come back in October, and get something else done once I’m in town. Thanks David!!!!“

“This place is super chill and packed with amazing artists. Theo did an awesome job, and I walked away totally happy with my tattoo, which looks sick.“

“I’ve been tattooed by both Wayman & Barbi. I was very happy with the results both times & will likely go back to Barbi for my chest piece at the end of the year. Definitely recommend for anything nerdy / anime / pop related.“

“The young lady that did my piercing did an excellent job, with minimal bleeding. And gave me instructions on how to clean my piercing. I had a different young lady that did tattoos for me, my brother and my daughter. (We got my mom’s date of birth in Roman Numerals ) in remembrance of her.) She was very professional and did each of our tattoos in the designated place that we wanted them. She took her time on each one and we were all very pleased with her work.“

“This place is actually a church, nothing to do with a place where they do tattoos, I understand why it appears that way on Google maps, as I said it is a church and it is called the Seventh-day Adventist Church, if you like to come you are welcome, on the days of Worship is on Saturdays starting at 9:00 am“

“In case you weren’t aware, this is the only 5 star tattoo shop in the Atlanta area.

Rob is a gem. His little tattoo shop is tucked off Bolton Rd. Parking is located behind Bolton off the side street near the water plant. His studio is clean, as is his equipment. If you’re into wildlife, you’ll love the intentional placement of his tattoo chair-close to the sliding glass doors where you get a front row seat to little chipmunks, cardinals, and if you’re lucky-a trip to the coy fish pond!

Make your appointments via text message. Rob will provide pretty clear instructions regarding his availability.

The tattoo I received was spot on to my inspiration pictures. He’s great with fine lines and finite detail. He even provided a few mock ups in different sizes to test out without me requesting this. He ALSO fixed an awful finger tattoo that I am now very pleased with - with no problem!

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Relentless. I laughed my ass off while there. Rob is a genuinely nice guy and made me feel immediately at ease. He executed my vision perfectly, was kind, and I felt safe getting inked here. Would totally recommend trusting Rob with your tattoo needs!“

“My experience was amazing. I was walked through the process very professionally and the pain was minimal. Overall, they made me feel very comfortable and relaxed.“

“Came in as a walk in, and every single person was SO friendly and welcoming, which helped soothe my nerves a lot. Everything was so well organized, from the airdrop process to the forms you fill out. And my simple tattoo was done with care and precision and crisp, crisp lines. Came out totally sick, and I could not be happier!!!!

Posting with the fresh ink under bandage, will update when healed!“

“I got my very first tattoo here just a day ago and everyone was incredibly sweet. I got my tattoo done by Riy (Ig: Visual Metanoia) and she was amazing!! She made me feel very comfortable and did such a great job on my tattoo. I would definitely recommend her to anyone especially to people getting their first tattoos.Service: Tattoos“

“My recent cover up at Gate City Tattoo was a life changing experience. I was able to change a foolish decision into get a tattoo under unsavory circumstances transformed in at a 18th century Japanese styled peacock. James Cooper not only took his time but made me feel comfortable and listened to me, making for a tattoo experience that was unmatched to my prior tattoos with other artists. Two sessions later, I am a new woman and empowered. Thanks for the tattoo therapy. See you in the future. Pictures to follow!“

The process was flawless and I am in love with my new tattoo. Raven was also great to work with for piercings. Highly recommend!!“

“I just want to share my experience with this wonderful tattoo studio!! Bond is the coolest and funniest tattoo artist I’ve ever met! He engaged in conversations that had me and my sister laughing the whole time! But his art…. Oh my god! He really outdid himself on this beautiful tattoo! It’s a very special tattoo and it holds a lot of meaning to me! When I tell you I haven’t stopped looking at my arm!! The fine line work is absolutely incredible!

“I had an incredible experience at Live Free Tattoo! The shop was super clean, had an awesome vibe, and everyone there was friendly and welcoming. I got tattooed by Mano F, and I honestly couldn’t be happier.
Mano’s work is amazing I got two tattoos in a bold traditional style, and I’m completely in love with them. His attention to detail, clean linework, and unique flair really brought the designs to life. He made the whole process easy and comfortable, and you can tell he really cares about the art.
I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Mano to anyone looking for quality work in a great environment.“

I referred them to you. Check them out. Give them some stars on google Les let people know it’s still good people out here.“

“Fhat was very professional, I was comfortable and he had a whole vibe in his working space. My first session, can’t wait to finish up but he’s definitely my permanent tattoo artist !“

If you come Proof the owner gave me the greatest cut of my life. Let's just say I've never been a bigger hit with women until then. Thank you Proof. You really prove your work.
