Fat Kat Tattoo & Body Piercing: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Just walked out of their shop after my daughter received a navel piercing. Misty was the piercer and she was outstanding. Greeted us immediately when we walked, very sweet to my daughter, and it shows she really loves what she does. We were in and out in less than 15mins and her technique was awesome along with her care instructions. Very good experience for my nervous daughter and I know I will be back. If you’re looking to get a piercing for yourself or child go see Misty at Fat Kat!! Thanks. John R
Thank you so very much! We really appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Misty has a heart of gold. Honestly, the entire team here is filled with wonderful people. Whenever I visit misty always greets me with such warmth and kindness. I feel so safe and cared for there. I also witnessed it when she interacts with other clients, she is such a kind soul.
Thank you so much ! We love and appreciate you!
Negative experience: I had a terrible experience at fat cat. As soon as I got my piercing, it was at a huge angle. I tried to talk to her about it, meaning Misty and she just said it has a high chance of rejecting which I already knew, but it has looked like it from the first day I would not recommend going there to get a dermal piercing or any other piercing for that matter. Also was hoping she can compensate in any way she made it seem like it was my fault. Multiple reputable pierces said it was done terrible wrong!!!
I am so sorry this happened sweetheart I did look at your piercing it was perfect when you left here . This is a surface piercing and if it is snagged at all it will heal that way. We are so sorry to loose you as a client. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Fantastic experience: Misty is an amazing person and piercer!
You are so sweet!! Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Misty was amazing. She changed out my piercing with care and confidence. I highly recommend!
Thank you sooo much!
Fantastic experience: Hi everyone! I'd like to tell you a little about this place. It's very stylish and atmospheric inside! There's a store with piercing supplies, and I loved the Bible on the table! They do tattoos and piercings here, and they have a wide selection of services and very good specialists. But what I liked most is the competent people and the very friendly staff. Many parents bring their children here (myself included), preparing all the necessary documents in advance. I think you'll be satisfied (my daughter is very happy). I give it five stars! Keep up the good work, guys.!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️thank you sooook much!!!!
Fantastic experience: Needed assistance with some piercings after a medical procedure. A friend told me about Misty Dawn at this shop. Walked in just before closing and had a most excellent experience. Misty was kind, professional and spent time ensuring my ‘old school’ piercings were just right. Thanx Misty!
Thank you so very much!! We appreciate you!
Negative experience: Had to have a piercing that was done by Chris cut out of my ear by another piercer at Fat Kat because it was screwed on incorrectly by Chris. I was charged to replace the jewelry. In the same visit, as an overreaction to this, my next piercings (not by Chris) weren’t screwed on tight enough and the ball on one of my new piercings fell out 3 days after I received them. Chris being the only one available when I went to get it fixed, took a pair of forceps and tugged the raw 3 day old piercing 180° towards him to put the ball back on and had an attitude like it was my fault. My piercings were entirely too sore to do anything but gently clean them so no, it was not my fault. It was the most excruciating and unnecessary experience I’ve ever had. The next day, the ball on my other new piercing fell out. He had to size up the adjacent piercing because of the swelling he caused from the day before. Turns out he could’ve just put the piercing in the other way around without yanking my ear towards him. A year later, my ear hasn’t recovered from the trauma he caused despite following their aftercare instructions and doing the goodys paste at their recommendation. It seems it’s not a normal piercing bump. I get the strong sense based on multiple interactions that Chris doesn’t want anything to do with piercings. So if Misty isn’t there, I recommend leaving. Better yet, get your piercings somewhere else. Edit: I’m fully aware I have to do aftercare and healing. I have 11 piercings, I know how the balls go on and off. As stated previously, my cleanings had nothing to do with them falling off. Really just showing a lack of accountability.
We are so sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately we are only responsible for piercing and you have to do the aftercare and healing of the piercing. The balls are left to loosen and right to tighten so improperly cleaning can cause the balls to come off. We pray you get your piercings healed and have a blessed day.
Negative experience: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP FOR TATTOOS!!! I got matching tattoos with my best friend. We were originally planning to get finger tattoos, but after consulting with the artist who I think was Raphael , he told us we would need to sign an additional waiver for finger tattoos and said that his expert advice was to place them on the wrist instead. We agreed to follow his advice. After he started my tattoo and placed the stencil on my wrist, it was clearly crooked. I pointed this out to him, and he told me it wasn’t crooked and that it only looked that way because of how I was holding my wrist. I told him okay, but I was very unsettled by it. He then made a comment saying, “It’s almost like I do this every day,” and continued with the tattoo. Once it was finished, it was very clear that the tattoo was crooked and did not look anything like what I asked for. In my opinion, he clearly did not want to make another stencil after already placing one on my wrist and lied to me just to get it over with. Now I am left with a tattoo I hate and $100 out of my bank account for something I did not even want. I have been trying to reach Misty after being told by Chris that she is the only person who can help with some type of refund or store credit, but I have not been able to get in contact with her or anyone else who can help. He should not be giving people expert advice and needs major guidance in customer service, especially when it comes to listening to clients when they say something is wrong.
We do apologize for your unhappiness with your tattoo. We do not give refunds as you approve the stencil placement before the tattoo is done. We are sorry you were unhappy with your tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Very clean and professional with great service. I put the wrong ends on a set of earrings and had been struggling to remove them- Misty was able to get them out painlessly in under a minute. Would recommend!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Went with my bestie to get new holes in our heads on a random Sunday. The shop was super accommodating of our walk in, everything was super clean, friendly staff all around. Chris was honestly the best, very professional and also chill vibes, you know you're in good hands! 10/10 service and beard.
We greatly appreciate you!
Negative experience: Went in to get matching tattoos with my sister and friend. We were aware of the $100 minimum for the shop BUT instead of the artist just doing the tattoo we asked for he balled his face up multiple times reminding us what the minimum was as though we did not have it. Little did he know we were PREFERRED!! Needless to say we left out. They really loss out on $300 for 3 XS tattoos because of the lack of GOOD customer service. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME THERE! We ended up at Inksmith and Roger’s who accommodated us even though they were closing.
We are so very sorry this happened and apologize for the artist there is a language barrier with him we apologize and are so happy you were able to get your tattoos and are happy.
Fantastic experience: I Can't Thank Chris and Misty Dawn enough.. They both made me feel so comfortable and confident . Chris and Misty have got to be two of the best piercing experts i have ever had the pleasure of useing... Thank you for making my 1 yr Breast cancer free nip piercings so special and beautiful and quick almost pain free ... and they look great .thank you Misty for holding my hand during .. 10/10 I highly recommend fat kat tattoo ... and my Hubby Loved them ....thank you Amber ( Aj) Jordan
You bright up our lives! Thank you for choosing us to go through this journey with you!!! We appreciate you and are so very proud of all the obstacles you have overcome!!! Thank you for letting us be a part !!!
Negative experience: Got my navel pierced, it was fast but terrible experience overall. The guy had a terrible attitude like he didn’t want to be there and I wasn’t informed how to keep it clean or anything. Just told I couldn’t change it out until 3 months … good thing google works wonders in letting me know what to do.
We are so sorry to hear this we go over all procedures with our clients. So glad your piercing was well.
Fantastic experience: i’ve been to Fat Kat over a dozen times for myself and have brought 5 of my friends here for their piercings. I can not recommend it enough, Misty is incredibly professional and very sweet. As long as she is working and I am getting piercings she is the only one I will go to. Chris has done three of my piercings as well and is also incredibly professional and very good at what he does. I have heard horror stories a from my family about certain piercing experiences and I have never experienced anything remotely negative at this shop.
We are so grateful for you and really appreciate you and your family and friends !!! ❤️
Fantastic experience: My go to place in Jacksonville for all piercings, they are super friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended!!

We really appreciate you so very much!!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: The entire shop rocks!! Misty, the piercer there at the establishment is literally the best and she is soo freaking sweet, very knowledgeable, professional, and does amazing work. An absolute pleasure every single time
Thank you so much!!!! We really appreciate you!!!!
Negative experience: Me and my friends went in for nose rings, they did the one on the side of the nostril while I did the septum. Mine was ABSOLUTELY botched and crooked as could be and the lady decided to switch it from a horse shoe to a solid ring (tinier might I add) after blaming my nose shape for being the problem so I had to go get it removed less then an hour of going there because of the swelling COVERING the tiny ring. I went to another tattoo shop and second opinion the piercing and said it wasn’t my nose like the woman from Fat Kat tried to blame and said it was completely the piercers fault. The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars is because the woman did amazing for my friends and was gentle with me while I was highly worried.
We are so sorry this happened honey. You should have come back. It is very important to stay still when getting this piercing. We stand behind our work 100 and we be happy to take care of you.
Fantastic experience: Will always be coming back for Misty! She always gets my piercings right

Fantastic experience: Misty is amazing and so sweet!! She did my navel piercing about 7 months ago and I couldn’t be happier with it! She is also incredibly informative and walks you through the process. I also came in recently to buy more of their aftercare spray for my nose piercing and she is so helpful with giving tips and advice on healing!
Thank you so very much!!

We appreciate you so much! Thank you!
Negative experience: Came here because of all the good reviews. DO NOT COME HERE. I tried to reach out to them about how bad our tattoos looked and sent them pictures with no response. $200 for this
We just talked for 30 minutes. You got a finger tattoo. I am so sorry it fades that is what they do and blow out. We offered to help you with a touch up which is a price. I am so sorry we could not meet your expectations. We hope you do however find a great artist where you are happy elsewhere. Thank you and God bless.
Negative experience: Was really disappointed in my most recent experience here, i have been a customer here for 3 years and always had a good time , but this last time we had called around 8pm and asked if they had any availability and they said yes they’re open til 12 and to come on in. We drive 45 minutes to fat kat and upon walking in , we are told they’re too tired to tattoo anymore and since it’s almost 9 they need to close up the shop. This seemed weird since they were still open for 3 hours and we were looking for small, not detailed tattoos. They sent us on our way and proceeded to continue smoking outside. We then went to inkstainz and had the best experience with them. I’d recommend them to anyone. Won’t be returning because of this unfortunately.
We are so sorry about this however we close at 9 on Sunday and 10 the rest of the week. We are pleased you were able to get your tattoos,
Fantastic experience: Had a brief appointment with Misty and she was fantastic. Needed my septum piercing tapered back open and she took amazing care of me!!!! 10/10 gonna come back for a real new piercing soon!!!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I had two high nostril piercings done by Misty a few weeks ago and they look so nice! I was wanting them for quite some time and finally just went for it. The whole process was quick, clean, and professional. My new piercings ended up swelling a bit more than anticipated and Misty was kind enough to help switch out the jewelry a day or two later to flat backs which was awesome! They've healed so nicely so far and I'm so happy with how they look. Thank you!!
You are very welcome!
Fantastic experience: The staff is very professional, nice , and funny. 10/10 definitely recommend. I only needed my nose ring put back in, but sitting there watching the interaction, I’m glad I stopped there.
Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Had a phenomenal experience with Mike!! Thank you so much!
Thank you! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I recommend this place to anyone trying to get a piercing or tattoo. Great service! Thanks a lot for fixing my nose piercing.
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Today, I took my eldest daughter to get any piercing she wanted for her birthday. Today we met Misty, and she was wonderful. She explained all the important health information, cleaning techniques, and when would be the best time to change the piercing, and which type of nose ring would be most comfortable when my daughter was past her healing period. On top of all of that, Misty was sweet and funny, very excited for my daughter's new piercing. When we come back (because we will be), we want Misty to do the work.
You are so sweet! We appreciate you very much!
Fantastic experience: Misty was amazing! She was so sweet and did a jewelry swap for my helix piercing free of charge! 10/10 experience!
Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Such a great environment really is the best piercing’s in Jax I’ve been to a few different places they don’t compare.
Thank you so very much!
Negative experience: We went in just to get a couple 3/8 diameter 16g titanium hoops for lobes (existing piercing) and the price somehow came out to $73 dollars!?? Not sure why they were so much and we weren’t offered a breakdown.
Titanium hinge hoops are $30 a piece sweetie and the changeout is 10$ I am so sorry you left your receipt on the counter I can email it to you if you like?
Fantastic experience: I came into the shop to have my nose rings replaced and closed after my MRI, and Misty was the one who helped me. She was very kind, courteous, and patient the whole time, and made the process quick and comfortable. She even helped me pick out a new navel ring, which I love. Highly recommend her!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: For my daughters' 17th birthday present, we took her here. They were EXCEPTIONAL!! My daughter was nervous at first but the staff made her feel comfortable and had her laughing. Thank you for giving my teenager the present she wanted and making her day!! She said you are her "go to" for any other piercing(s) in the future. Great prices and great staff!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you and are so grateful!
Fantastic experience: misty dawn saved my life she was very nice and helped me on my nose piercing that got snagged pretty bad she gave me very helpful tips on how to fix it and replaced it. best service ever i know how much reviews mean and i never post any until now cause she’s a savior ✌️please never get rid of her or ill be mad lolll
Awwwww thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Misty did an amazing job with my ear piercings. Her piercings were perfect based on the aftercare directions she provided me with after the piercings were done. She was very gentle and reassuring before during and after the procedure. Honestly she is the only piercer I have ever met that was completely honest about which piercings were appropriate and not appropriate based upon my anatomy. I will never go anywhere else or to anyone else for my piercing needs.
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you and are so grateful for your business!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE MISTY DAWN!! I came here originally before for a regular nose piercing she convinced me to get a septum and I LOVE IT ! Fast forward I ended up removing it but she was able to put it right back in for me with no issues and without getting it re pierced !
Thank you so much! We love having you ladies here over the years!
Fantastic experience: I have gotten a belly button piercing and just recently got a tongue piercing here. The place offered Great service and got me in and out fast.I have had the same male piercer and he has been nothing short of amazing, both of my piercing took no time and explained the after care shortly after. I had a painless process with both my belly button and tongue piercing nor have my piercings rejected. This place is also one of the more affordable spots.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Got my helix & second lobe piercings done here. The piercer was so friendly and made the experience overall so amazing. Thank you!! Definitely will be recommending to others.
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Just got my piercing changed and I love it! Misty did a great job! I will definitely be back again!
Thank you so very much! You are so sweet!
Fantastic experience: Everytime I come here the entire staff are always friendly and polite. Came today to get my dermal removed Misty is always kind and informative about care and aftercare of piercing. I highly recommend coming here for a tattoo or piercing you will not be disappointed
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: They fixed a septum piercing for me that was botched by a different place. Store was clean and they were amazing. Will definitely be reccomending this shop to my friends and will return when I decide to get my next piercing. Thank y'all so much!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Back in February, I got a belly button piercing and jewelry change (nose & ears), and I am very satisfied with my experience there. My belly button healed nicely, and I am impressed with the quality of their jewelry. I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. I will definitely come back for more ear piercings.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Misty was awesome we came. In from Ky and she pierced my daughter's nose. Would come back for more
Thank you so much!
Negative experience: Absolutely horrible. 0 stars. Nothing worse than men who think women are dumb and treat them as such- especially when getting services rendered. Brought someone with me and even that person said it was a good thing we left! The gentleman questioned my own ability/knowledge to know where I got what piercings... on my body!! He was very unsettling to say the least about putting my tongue ring in- Then, because I didn't want to get hurt- asked him to just put my nose ring. THE MAN TOOK THE SAME GAUAGE HE TRIED TO USE IN MY MOUTH ON MY TONGUE , AND IMMEDIATELY put it in the hole in my nose that was very much open and did not need that! I told the gentleman from the jump, that all of my piercings were very much healed, and has never required additional assistance. THE ONLY reason I went to a shop is because I have long nails and never have the ability to put things back in. 0/10 would NEVER recommend
We are so sorry for the confusion sweetie there are several types of tongue piercings and different jewelry is used. The tongue is the fastest healing thing on your body so it closes quickly. The taper is universal and used in either piercing however it was not used at all on your tongue. We wish you the best and are sorry we could not meet your needs. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Fantastic experience: I went there to get my daith piercing, Misty was so incredibly nice and comforting, I was so nervous and she helped calm me down. 1000 stars if I could give! I will be back for more thank you so so much again!!
Thank you so very much we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate being diagnosed with brain cancer and Mike did a fantastic job, better than I envisioned this coming out.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Went for a helix a few months after my friend got her septum done because Misty did such an amazing job!! It was quick and pain free. I have gone to a few shops, but she is the best!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I went to Fat Kat’s and got a vertical labret done by Chris Gleason, and it was hands down the best piercing experience I’ve had so far. 10/10 would absolutely recommend, especially if you are someone who tends to be nervous about piercings, Chris will definitely take care of you.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Misty was so lovely and helpful when I came in with a strange piercing situation. My visit was so painless and stress-free despite being someone who is very jumpy around needles, and I was well taken care of! Pricing was VERY fair. Highly recommend!
Thank you so very much!!!We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Raphael is amazing! He was honest with me and told me that the tattoo I originally had in mind may not age well and was prone to blow out, so he worked with me to find a better choice that still loved which I’m so grateful for! You can tell he really cared! He gave me a beautiful tattoo and had such a light hand! Everyone in there was so sweet and kind and a very clean environment
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: If you need a tattoo or piercing don’t look any further. Scotty, Misty, Chris, and the rest of the team welcome you like family. Chris did an amazing job with my cover-up tattoo. I will recommend Fat Kat to anyone this is an awesome shop. Thank you guys.
Thank you sooo much!!!!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I came to Fat Kat last year for Mother’s Day to get our noses pierced together. We had such a great experience with the staff that we decided to come back this year for our hoops and bling. Like the first time, they did not disappoint. Misty was attentive, relatable, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She helped us pick out our rings and then put them in for us. She also pieced my wife ears back in 22”. We now have a Mother’s Day tradition Great place, people and atmosphere. Would Highly recommended. “If you are looking for a pierce or tat, Fat Kat is where it’s s At.”
Thank you so very much we appreciate you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Got my industrial piercing today. Misty greeted me and did my piercing she was amazing from hello to goodbye. I highly recommend her if you're looking to get a piercing.
Awesome! Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: i had got 3 piercings done here and my sister had gotten 1 each with different employees, they were overall good and memorable experience. i had gotten a pixie stick after the one i just got today, it really made my day. its also very fast process and they each time give me a run down on what i need to do and thats what i really like.
Thank you so very much we greatly appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: THANK YOU, Misty! You calmed this 64-year-old getting his first lobe piercings on both ears. Misty was reassuring, professional, and explained everything she was doing. My new studs aren’t even sore and I was able to sleep easily on both sides last night. Misty is the best!
Awesome! Thank you so very much!!
Negative experience: I went to go get my snake bites ball replaced and she was amazing! She sent me to the young man by the front for a consultation on a tattoo I wanted to add. First of all his body language and response seemed like he didn’t want to be there! I explained what I wanted and literally said no to everything I wanted and said it wasn’t possible and also wanted a touch up on a old piece I have on my thigh and he literally said we can only touch up the black because the color won’t stick on dark skin. Um if I’m not mistaken if you have the RIGHT INK it will show. Wanted a smaller size No, wanted it as an add on No, wanted a color touchup No, so you know what I’ll bring my money elsewhere! All my piercings and tattoos are from this location. Never again will I come back!
We are so sorry this happened,if the artist does not think the tattoo will be perfect they will suggest you do other things so that this will not happen again over time. We appreciate your business and value you as a client.
Negative experience: I visited this place on my mini vacation and wanted to change out my jewelry well it cost me $131.00 and the balls off my jewelry have come off . Very disappointing because I live five hours away and now have to pay someone else to redo a job I just paid them to do. Just over rated and not one time did she take the time to clean any areas before changing any of the jewelry out.
So sorry you had a bad experience sweetie the balls are left to loosen and right to tighten. If you want us to clean your piercings area you would need to ask. A change out does not include cleaning the areas that is the part of your daily aftercare. Thank you and have a blessed day
Fantastic experience: Misty Dawn was my piercer and she was amazing she did both nipples and made me feel at ease the entire time. The pain was minimal and I would definitely recommend her 10 out of 10 every time! I was so scared in the beginning and she made me feel safe like I was in good hands and I was so thankful thank you so much Misty Dawn at Fat Kat!!! ❤️ ❤️
You are so very welcome! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I got my daith and nose pierced by Misty yesterday. She was absolutely WONDERFUL! She helped me with breathing as she did it. I wasn’t pressured to buy anything I didn’t want to and she answered every question I have. I will be going to her from here on out!
Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: I came to Fat Kat Tattoo for my third tattoo, and it was hands down the best experience I've had yet! I already knew exactly what I wanted, so I brought a mockup with me to my consultation. Kaitlyn was incredibly kind, patient, and collaborative--she worked with me to fine-tune the design until it was perfect. My previous tattoos were all done by men, and this time I really wanted to work with a female artist. Kaitlyn exceeded my expectations. She's a true artist with a steady hand and a thoughtful approach. The studio itself is in a great location with plenty of parking, and the entire staff was welcoming and friendly. I felt completely comfortable throughout the process. The after care instructions were posted above the mirror, and I left feeling confident about how to take care of my new ink. A day later, when my tattoo tape started to leak, I called the shop and they provided calm, clear, and helpful instructions--no stress at all. Nearly a week later, the tattoo is healing beautifully and looks amazing. The pricing was fair, checkout was a breeze, and I'm already planning my next piece--with Kaitlyn, of course! Fat Kat Tattoo truly delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: i’ve been going to misty dawn for a while for all my piercings and she’s always done a fantastic job!!! went with my sister tonight to get her a birthday piercing (industrial) and she said that it was the gentlest piercing she’s ever had. i genuinely could not recommend her more!!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for yearssss for piercings. Always a good vibe and super talented humans.

Thank you again Laura for making me feel comfortable and doing your thing!
We appreciate you very much! Thank you
Fantastic experience: i got my septum and helix pierced and it was an amazing experience!! i dont remember the ladys name, but she had blonde hair and was super nice. the piercings barely hurt at all (could be because i have a lot of them lol) and the place was so clean and homey. definitely gonna go back for more.
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!
Negative experience: Every single employee in that building was very unwelcoming and extremely rude. The receptionist made a very rude comment when we walked in asking if my friend with social anxiety can “speak for herself” in a very condescending tone. When the piercer took our friend back in the room we asked if we could come with her and he rudely declined. Our friend asked for a different placement of the marker for her piercing and he became very bothered and impatient, even though she was a paying customer. No idea how this place has 5 stars, do not recommend. Hope this helps!
I am so sorry you were unsatisfied it is very important that when making body modifications it is the persons decision not the friends and we do not allow anyone in piercing room with client for their own safety.
Fantastic experience: I came here to get a navel piercing and I was nervous because I only had my ears pierced before. Misty was calm and gentle. She gave me a stress ball to hold, and talked me through all the steps. I love how it turned out!
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!
Negative experience: I wanted simple line work added to a tattoo I already had. Scheduled two weeks prior to appointment and communicated what I wanted to artist beforehand. At the end of the less than 40 minute session was told the charge would be $200. No shading, no colors, no re-working, nothing except adding lines to a flower tattoo I already had. Was told the shop minimum was $100 AFTER the tattoo was done which I was totally fine with but then the artist added an additional $100 for I'm guess his own personal time and materials - I’m not sure how that works. He lowered the price to $175 after I asked why the cost was so high which tells me that he knew his pricing was pretty extreme. I probably won’t go back simply because I wasn’t given any warning beforehand of the cost I would have to pay for a short session and simple line work. I guess I shouldn’t expect that kind of communication from a basic tattoo artist. I was just wanting to enhance a tattoo I already had. Had I known his cost I wouldn't have wasted his time! This whole interaction made me feel icky. I’ve been going here for years and because of my most recent experience I probably won’t come back. Edit: I said that no one told me the pricing until after and it’s spelled lose not loose lol
I am so sorry to hear this you were told of the pricing and agreed to it before the tattoo was started. We are so sorry to loose your business. Have a blessed day
Fantastic experience: It was my first time getting pierced and the Set up process for my Appointment online which was easy and fast. The people were very nice there, I met Chris and misty. I was pierced by misty I believe and she was very informative on the aftercare process and how to avoid any issues with the piercing which I loved. Highly recommend coming here if it's your first time getting pierced or a piercing in general. This was nice and sanitized which is also a good sign. I will be coming back to probably get a belly piercing or Medusa! I spent $52.50 ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: My husband and 2 of our friends went in for last minute piercings, and MISTY WAS FANTASTIC! I was so nervous about my septum, and she was so gentle, calm, and she let me hold her heat shaped stress ball to help get me through it. 100% recommend this shop for piercings! You’re in good hands with Misty!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you !
Negative experience: I got my nipples done here 4 years ago by Misty, didn't start having problems until recently. Went to a different piercer & found out that the jewelry that Fat Kats pierced me with was stainless steel externally thredded trash. Find a different piercer who is APP certified & go there instead.
Our jewelry is surgical Steele and recommended for new piercings. We keep it like that to make it affordable for our clients. You may change out your jewelry to a more expensive one when you are ready.
Fantastic experience: Got my first piercings (helix and septum) with Misty today! She killed it! Made me feel super comfortable, and she did it so fast and such a good job! Their prices are fair, the place was super clean and nice… Wanna get my lobes pierced next, definitely going back to her!!!

Fantastic experience: Just did a walk in with Misty !! She was so amazing and helpful. I needed help getting my nose piercing in. Really felt like I was in good hands !! I will have to come back ❤️
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I have to say this place is great! I went in not sure if my piercing was going to work. I suffer with bad migraines and the guy that pierced it was very sweet. He recommended me getting my daith pierced and it worked. No more migraines again! So thank you for recommending me that. I was getting something else pierced and I'm glad i listened to him. Then i couldn't get my earring in and the lady upfront helped me. Every one here is very sweet. I will definitely be coming back here for my tattoos and piercings. Highly recommend them to everyone! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so very much! We appreciate you!

Thank you so much we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Both of my piercing experiences here have been amazing! I had my nostril done, and staff was very professional and explained aftercare well. Then, Misty did an amazing job with my septum piercing and helped me out months later when the ball fell off. Can't recommend enough!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Chris was amazing! He made me feel very comfortable throughout my piercing session. He was very transparent and informative with answering all my questions concerning dermal piercings. 10/10 I would recommend Chris to anyone getting a piercing or tattoo!
Thank you so much!!!! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I went to get my nipples and belly button pierced last night and Chris was the guy who did mine he was super professional and explained how to clean my piercings really well and how long it would take to heal. I got a little nauseous and dizzy after the nipple piercings but they were quick to get me something to drink and then I did my belly button piercing right after. It was fast and not super painful. I got to take the little covers off this morning to wash my piercings and they look absolutely beautiful. They’re so symmetrical and I feel super confident. Thank you Chris
We appreciate you very much! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Chris was absolutely fantastic!!!! I (21f) got my nipples pierced and he was nothing but professional. He made me so comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable about the care and healing process. If I ever got another piercing I would ask for him. Great service!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Misty was the sweetest person, very professional, and knowledgeable about my navel piercing.. she had my mind at ease about the whole entire process.. haven't been pierced since I was 13 years old lol thank you Fat Kat tattoo!! very clean and amazing staff ask for Misty she's a sweetie ❤️
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!!
Fantastic experience: Going in for my first piercing I didn't know what to expect. I'm happy I decided to do it here. Misty was super professional and knew how to talk to me to take away my anxiety and fear through this process. I was happy to put my body in her hands and my piercings look amazing. Thank you Misty for being amazing and I'm recommending you to anyone thinking about a piercing.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I got a piercing done by Misty and she is the sweetest. She talks you through it, is so reassuring, and makes you feel so comfortable. She was quick, precise, and I absolutely love my daith. 10/10 would recommend seeing Misty for any piercing.
Thank you so very much!!!
Fantastic experience: The artists here are amazing! Recently moving to the area from out of town left me clueless as to where to go for my needle needs! Misty was an absolute doll who not only was extremely helpful and knew what she was speaking about, but she also kept me informed and educated during my visit as well! I also had another great experience with a gentleman who works here as well, prior to Misty, but I did not catch his name.
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I want to give a shout out to Misty, as well as everyone else in the shop for being a bunch of badasses!! I've been coming here and suggested this place to many people, with every visit being a great experience. These people know how to work with you if you're looking for some regardless if it's ink or jewelry
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate you!
