Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Gotten some piercings here, M.J. and Raynan are the two that have helped me when I’ve gone and they are the most educated professionals I have ever had the pleasure of talking with! Very very sweet and know their stuff! I will ALWAYS go here now!
Gloria, thank you for such a thoughtful review! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: Mark Anthony is an absolutely amazing tattoo artist!
Nicole, thank you for the 5-stars!
Fantastic experience: Went to the Atomic Tattoo on Burnet and had a great experience. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and funny. Mike Pain did my tattoo and did an awesome job. Had me laughing the whole time. Got me in and out with no hassle! Fair price too!
Erin, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Angela was easy to work with picking out new jewelry and even put in my tragus jewelry for me for free with purchase!! I gotta say that's hard to find these days! Most shops charge 5-10$ to put in piercings even if you purchase it from them but these guys rock she was fast and made sure I had a long enough bar for extra room Def will be back
Dylan, thank you for such a great review! We hope to see you again soon:)
Negative experience: I'm sorry but I have to change my review and lower the star. I want a new nose piece but don't believe that will happen here. I finally replaced my stud which never gave an issue. I got a nose ring and after a week it was messing with my skin badly bc it was too small. It wasn't the one I chose but she said it was the right one. I go back a week later and get a new piece- not a ring, and of course I had to pay for price. She bends it once and I don't have a big nose. Every other nose piece I've seen in a friend was bent twice- three pieces and it stays in place. My piece didn't stay in after only being bent once and after being been a second time it doesn't work bc one part of it is longer so it's always hitting my septum. I'm not paying again though I always tipped and was not happy. I felt a bit like I was being made fun of the first time but the was mild. There wasn't much talk or advice and I've been unhappy each time. I'm not sure why angela didn't bend it properly to begin with but I'll probably just take it out and be done with all this. Reply to owner, kind of an odd thing to say. It would have been fine if if were bent in thirds the first time just like I've seen other people have. And if I had been given proper advice.
Christina, nostril pins can be a bit tricky but we’re glad to hear that Angela was able to help sort it out with you!
Negative experience: Don’t get a tattoo during Friday 13th or any flash sales they rushed my tattoo charged me 180 and it turned out mediocre !!
We’re sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your visit. We’d love to hear more details about your experience. Feel free to message us on Instagram!
Fantastic experience: Sarah was amazing!! She made me so comfortable and was so easy to get a piercing with!! I would definitely go to see her for all piercings!!!
Thank you for such a great review!
Negative experience: Got a couple tattoos done by an artist that no longer works there, honestly thank God because she deserves better. I walked in (had never been there before) and the manager? owner? I guess was yapping to an older couple and didn’t even look at me let alone offer to help me. Everyone was just uncomfortably staring at me instead of helping me so I texted my artist to come get me up at the front and everything else was fine but the place is really filthy and made me uncomfortable to get tattooed there…won’t be coming back there.
We’re sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable — that’s never the experience we want anyone to have when they walk through our doors. We strive to make every client feel welcomed and acknowledged.
To clarify, the individual you’re referencing was not an owner or manager, and they are no longer part of our front staff.
As for cleanliness, we take sanitation extremely seriously. Our studios are routinely inspected by the local health department, and we consistently EXCEED all required standards & receive great feedback. Each artist is responsible for maintaining a clean, sanitary workstation throughout their service, and we expect those standards to be upheld at all times.
If you’re open to it, we’d appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your concerns.
Fantastic experience: I had the most awesome experience here! I had my piercings changed out by Rainin (I think that’s how u spell it) and it was quick and painless! Rainin is also super sweet and I had a wonderful conversation with them about barnacles :D 10/10 will definitely return!!
Saylor, thanks for stopping in! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: The artist was friendly, environment was great. Very reasonable price and very quickly done, well executed. Mike was cool and did a great job on my traditional style tat.
Chloe, thank you for the 5-stars!
Fantastic experience: Just got my my tongue pierced as a walk in with Raynan. She rules def recommend coming here! Great price, very clean, with a calm friendly atmosphere 11/10 Edit: came back for some nipple piercings with Raynan again and had another great experience 12/10
Kathleen, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back and see us again soon!

Fantastic experience: Got a septum piercing here; the service was great! I didn't catch the name of my piercer but she was extremely friendly and informative. The piercing process was smooth and quick, and seems to have been done accurately.
Nova, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon:)
Fantastic experience: I totally forgot the piercers name, but she did a piercing that has given me so much confidence because she fixed a defect in me and I couldn’t be happier! I adore it so much! Thank you!
Amira, thank you for the 5-stars. Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: I’d been dragging my feet on a helix piercing for about 5 years, and when I ran into an issue with my original appointment at Rowan, I almost took it as a sign to bail. I’ll admit the idea of getting a piercing at a “tattoo shop” felt a bit intimidating to me, but when I walked into Atomic, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and aesthetic the store is. Angela was available to do my piercing as a walk-in, and she was incredibly welcoming, reassuring, and patient. Super happy with my piercing and very grateful to Angela for making it such a quick and easy process. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next!
Jennifer, thank you for such an awesome review! Come back and see us again soon:)
Fantastic experience: Outstanding shop, nice and clean. Kain does another amazing tattoo
Thank you for the 5-stars and all the great photos, come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Went today with my sisters to get a piece for our mom who passed. Mike was amazing! Can’t recommend him enough!
Celinda, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Mike Pain did an amazing job he was pleasant as always and does great work.
Thank you for the 5-stars Janet! We hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: pierced my nipples wrong like horribly medically terrifyingly wrong and didn’t even refund me just offered to repierce lmfao !! the excuse was that she was a stand in piercer, which rights nothing for me. good luck to anyone who has ever even CONSIDERED stopping here.
Hi Marina, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. This is the first time we’ve heard of this, and we’ve been trying to look into it. We were not able to find a waiver that matches your google name at our Burnet Rd location, but we did find a similar waiver from another location that’s dated about 5 years ago. If that was you, please let us know so we can be sure we’re looking at the right info.
If you could also share why the piercings have become an issue after five years, that would be helpful to understand what exactly is going on.
You can reach us on Instagram @atomictattooaustin or by email [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Great visit. Piercer was gentle and a genuinely nice person!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I had such a great experience at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing. The staff was super friendly and helped us choose exactly what we wanted along with the right jewelry. Our piercer was fantastic—gentle, quick, and made the whole process easy. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but we both walked out really happy with the service and the quality of the jewelry. Definitely recommend!
Nathaniel, we’re glad to hear that you and your wife both had a great experience. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Fast, flexible, professional, and so easy to connect with! Made our spontaneous tattoo absolutely perfect. Thanks Jimmy!
Melissa, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: I seriously can’t say enough about how amazing this shop is and especially about Mike Pain. I came in as a walk in, not expecting much beyond a consult or maybe a quick piece, but Mike was available and completely blew me away. From the moment we started talking about the tattoo, it was clear how much pride he takes in his work. He was thoughtful, creative, and genuinely cared about getting every detail just right. His artistry is next level. He brought a unique vision to the design and made sure it was something that I was going to love. I honestly don’t think I could’ve found another artist who would have taken the kind of care Mike did. He’s not just talentedhe’s passionate, patient, and makes the whole experience feel effortless. I walked out with a tattoo I absolutely love, and I owe that entirely to him. On top of that, the shop itself is just a great place to be. The vibes here are always on point,super friendly, relaxed, and professional. Everyone makes you feel welcome, whether you’re coming in for your first tattoo or your tenth. I’ve been coming here for less than a year now, but every time I walk in, I know I’m going to have a great experience. Never a bad visit, never a bad vibe. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, especially if you can book with Mike, do it. I truly can’t recommend him or this shop enough.
Nicholas, thank you for such a wonderful review! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I went in on Sunday to get my nose pierced and a small tattoo. The whole atmosphere was fantastic! My nose was quick and easy with just an eye watering. I wanted to get some finger tats, but Mike wouldn’t do it because he said they just don’t do well over time, I really appreciated his honesty and told me everything I needed about him being a fantastic artist. So I went with my other tat. Mike gave me a tattoo and was so soft handed! We just vibed! I may brave getting my back finished because of his delicate touch! Haha… but I am for sure going back to have him design another tattoo for me that I have thinking about for years! Clean, friendly and just great service for a walk in! This is the place you gonna go for your piercings and tattoos! Oh and it was the Burnet location! Thanks guys!!
Gina, thank you for leaving such a thoughtful review! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Raynan is awesome!!! She did an amazing job on my nose piercing and made me feel super comfortable. The place is clean and friendly and she was super quick too . This whole place exceeded my expectations!
Thank you for the 5-stars! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Shank was amazing, her demeanor really makes you calm and at ease when getting pierced. She’s quick and gentle! I highly recommend getting yours done by her!
Thank you for the 5-stars! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Soo good!! Great at following rules and regs and safety first! Daughter had the best experience!
Thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: I came here with a fallen out belly button and they fixed it no charge! Super good customer service and the short piercing lady with the curly hair was super sweet and accomidating. couldn’t recommend this place more!
Fantastic experience: I was highly impressed with the social etiquette in this store as well as the optics. Gorgeous setup and chef's kiss for customer service.
Christina, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Came in as a walk in for a daith piercing. I had a migraine for weeks and heard a daith piercing could help. MJ did my piercings and was wonderful. I felt so comfortable with her and she made it an easy process. The daith piercing was worth it, migraine gone! She was so cool I decided to throw on a tragus piercing at the same time. Thank you for a great piercing experience.
Negative experience: Went in for my first tattoo on burnet rd location and was convinced to get one after I was already nervous to get my first one . Just got the tattoo to start peeling and come off completely. I did everything as far as the healing process . It looked good after it was finished but now it’s peeling to the point it’s coming off it’s like he did not go deep enough but the was it was hurting I would of thought it was deep enough. The artist who did it was nice but I’m sorry I can never go here again now I have to get it touched up somewhere else smh oh and shop minimum was $100 that’s how much the cost of this was !
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to piercer Raynan!!! This is personally one of my favorite Atomic locations in general. I got a daith piercing here years ago and it healed perfectly. I recently had to undergo a surgery and needed to remove all my piercings. I was concerned with my daith piercing (although it's over 6 years old) closing on me. Raynan suggested I use a retainer to keep my hole open and still be safe for surgery. She easily and professionally helped take out my jewelry and put the retainer in, and swap them back after my surgery. Very sweet and comforting demeanor and extremely knowledgeable in answering all my questions!
Fantastic experience: Got my original sucubus throat tattoo done here a year ago by Kain. Came back for him to add more to it and he didn't disappoint. He's very creative and the tattoo ends up hurting much less than anticipated. Knows what he's doing Glad to have given him creative control. Just told him what I wanted and he exceeds the expectation every time.
Miranda, thank you for the awesome review! We’re glad to hear that you were impressed with Kain & hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I took my granddaughter to get her ears pierced for her 9th birthday. I set up and planned this birthday *surprise* with piercer, MJ Mitchell, who said she was honored to be asked to participate in this special day! MJ was TERRIFIC and helped US (my daughter, Sarah & I) to surprise Ella, who was so excited when MJ told her she was there to get her ears pierced! Thank you, Atomic Tattoo, for making this day as special as I had hoped!
Kim, we’re glad to hear that we could help make your granddaughters birthday a special one! Let’s make it a tradition, see you next year for her second lobes! ;) -Atomic
Negative experience: I’ve gotten many piercings here with sarah and Angie & Leo. They have always been good to me but this last time I went in to change out the conch piercing jewelry and I was told by some lady that I couldn’t put in hoops. That they would probably give me more trouble but I have had this piercing well over 6 months. And I believe that the reason I was having so much problems was because the jewelry is too long and I do treat my hair so I think the moisture is what was giving me hell. So I picked 2 studs which I really didn’t want and she put long backs on them again!! So not only did I not get what I wanted, she also did not downsize the backs. So I will never go back and if I do it will be the atomic in Pflugerville. I’m really upset and disappointed I spent $300 on something I didn’t want.
Fantastic experience: Angela was amazing as always. She's done all my piercings and they've all turned out fantastic!
Hi David, thank you for the 5-stars! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Raynan was absolutely amazing for my piercing! She was very professional, accommodating, and actually cares about her clients.
Johanna, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re glad to hear that you had a great experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. Check in was fast and easy. They accept walk in, and we were seen very quickly. Will return for any piercing needs!!
Loz, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: The best!! Omg I didn’t get the piercer lady name but she was so fast and accommodating!! She let me choose from a decent dermal selection and installed my dermal piercing and took out my belly piercing extremely fast but gentle she’s amazing pls go see her she has 2 nose piercings and gauges really beautiful lady☺️ also the other lady who greeted me with the green hair had a beautiful spirit 10/10!
Fantastic experience: Did an evening walk in with Sarah and had a great experience! She was very personable and I was able to ask questions regarding aftercare and healing processes. The entire process from checking in to paying went great!
Fantastic experience: I got my nipples pierced by Sarah and she was so knowledgeable and accommodating. I was so nervous to get it done so I appreciate her kindness and listening to what I wanted. I was looking for a shop where I felt like the piercers really took pride in their work and used high quality jewelry. I was also comforted by the fact that they have multiple female piercers as some other places I called only had male piercers. I love my piercings and I can’t wait until they’re healed so I can experiment with pretty jewelry. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend.
Arielle, thank you for the kind review! We love our piercers and we’re glad to hear that you do too!
Fantastic experience: Super nice vibe! I got my first professional tattoo from Ben here. It was a great experience and I’m in love with my tattoo. Thank you so much!
Edith, we’re glad to hear that you had such a great experience with Ben! We hope to see you again soon for tattoo #2!
Fantastic experience: Well first of all, MJ greeted us by offering us some of her mint gum… that was such a winning start Then Ronny and Max pulled off five tattoos for our group of as many while managing to entertain us too. The crew was professional as well as talented, and so great to work with. I love the marigold tattoo that Ronny did in honor of my dad. Thanks everybody!
Fantastic experience: I came in for a tattoo and booked it with Kain on Instagram. He was so kind and really helpful with the designs was willing to explain all the steps of the process and made the experience so relaxing. Highly recommend him if you are a newbie or just want to get a tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Recently got a piece done here with Ben DiPietro and had an awesome experience! He was so kind and made me feel at ease for my appointment and the cat tattoo he did for me is phenomenal. The hours flew by and I’m so stoked to have this beautiful artwork with me forever now ♥️
Fantastic experience: Ben is amazing! Super detail oriented and gentle. 10/10 would go back to him.
Lily, thank you for the 5-stars! Happy to hear that you loved Ben as much as we do. Come back soon! -Atomic

I'll deff be going here to get my fair priced SNAKE BITES piercing within the next couple weeks! Way to go A.T.&B. Way to handle customer service A1+ style for the girlie who took my call!!!
Fantastic experience: Went to Atomic Tattoo today to get a tattoo from Mike Pain. He did a phenomenal job and took his time to make sure it was done right. The tattoo came out 100% better than the idea I brought in. Beyond thrilled with Mike Pain and will be getting future tattoos from him from here on out.
Sullivan, thank you for the 5-stars. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Mike Pain! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I live in the Houston area and hit up JC on insta @jcaponetattoo for a back piece I had in mind. He was very responsive and came back to me with some sketches and designs within the week. The whole process was very thorough and I’ll honestly recommend this artist to anyone visiting the Austin area. Unmatched talent and professionalism in the industry is hard to come by, I’ll definitely return to Atomic Tattoo for his work.
Hudson, thank you for such a generous review! We’ll be sure to share your comments with JC, he’ll be thrilled. Can’t wait to have you back! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I was a walk-in nose piercing one random night and since Atomic was open that night, I came in to see what was up. I was greeted with humor and professionalism and given all information needed up front. I mentioned to my piercer (Leo) that I have anxiety and was a little nervous but still wanted the nose piercing. They were beyond accommodating and described to a T everything as it was happening to ensure a pleasant experience. They are so precise with their markings, explain what everything means and what they were doing. I won’t lie it was such a good experience I went back the very next day to get my Tragus done that I’ve been wishing on for a while, lol. The second appointment was just as nice. I was told my anatomy was just big enough to accommodate the piercing, but it would be a little rough getting the earring in. I didn’t notice any struggle and before I knew it I had my TWO new piercings. One more thing! I wasn’t careful one day and my Tragus came out when I was drying my head after a shower. I full-blown panicked and contacted Leo. While they weren’t available, they immediately found out who was piercing the next day at Atomic and had gotten me set up to go in the next day to get it put back in sterile. Leo is one for the books!!
Alex, thank you for such a wonderful review! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Leo, he’ll appreciate it. We hope to see you again soon for piercing number THREE! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: There's a story but I can condense it for you; Through piercers in town and the power of social media, I was able to work with Leo and got some of the coolest work done, it all healed rather quickly. I live in the San Angelo area, and I would travel that distance again. Follow aftercare tips, and get the recommended products, and you'll be set. Care? Immaculate Humor? Yes Comfort? No questions, I was cozy the whole time
Fantastic experience: JC is amazing !! Your go-to guy for custom lettering or black and grey realism!! Make sure to check him out. He’s also amazing at fine line tattoos as well
Emilie, thank you for the 5-stars. We’ll be sure to share your awesome review with JC, he’ll be thrilled! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: If you’ve been looking for a dope lettering artist look no further!! Jc most definitely delivered!! He freehanded my letters off the top of his head on the spot no books or computer fonts. . He’s great with black and grey realism as well highly recommended. I’m for sure gonna keep working with him hella funny guy hella humble easy to sit with for a few hours.
Jorge, thank you for the 5-stars! We’ll be sure to share your review with JC. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I came in for a walk-in birthday tattoo and couldn't have been happier! Randy was excellent and made me feel comfortable with my first tattoo. Will definitely be back for more tattoos!!
Ashlee, thank you for the 5-stars! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Randy. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: JC is a super bada$$ artist! From lettering to black and gray all the way to fine line. Definitely recommend for anyone in the Austin area who enjoys some really dope vibes and amazing art
Kally, thank you for the 5-stars. We’ll be sure to share your kind review with JC! Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I got tattooed by JC and it was such a wonderful experience. He was very kind and funny. I told him what I wanted and the tattoo came out better than I anticipated. I highly recommend JC for all your tattoo needs. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!!
Teresa, thank you for the 5-stars! We’ll be sure to share your review with JC. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I have 2 daughters, and when my oldest decided she wanted to get her ears pierced, I reached out to Justin Timming, the owner, to do it. I've known him for years, and there's not another person who I'd trust for the job. He was very kind to her and walked her through the whole process. She was a champ and it all went perfectly. When my youngest daughter wanted hers done, her mom took her to one of those stores in the mall and they pierced them extremely unevenly and one was at the very bottom of her left earlobe. Once it healed up, I reached out to Justin again. He once again made time for us, made sure her ear was healed up, and pierced her left ear again, but correctly and evenly this time. I had read years ago that the best place to get your kids ears pierced is at a tattoo shop. They are by far the most experienced, the most sanitary, and the coolest people ever. 10/10 would recommend Atomic Tattoo to anyone and everyone. Thanks again, Justin!
Fantastic experience: Went to the location with a friend for some lip piercings and Patricia was wonderful! Even recommended coming back to redo my bridge piercing for me next time I make my way over. Very informative and knowledgeable about piercings and the risk of rejection with some of them. I got snakebites and they've healed wonderfully! Definitely coming back! ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: i’m visiting from missouri and did a walk in, and staff was AMAZING!!! mike did my tattoo, and made sure it was perfect for me, and just had good conversation the entire way through! i have a tendency to pass out due to adrenaline, but he talked to me the entire time, made sure i was comfortable, and kept me relaxed throughout it all. the best experience i’ve had with any tattoo/piercing so far. 10/10 recommend them, and definitely will be coming back next time i’m in austin!
Harlie, we’re glad to hear that Mike was able to make your experience with us a good one. We’ll be sure to share your review with him! We hope you come back if you ever find yourself in the area again:) -Atomic
Fantastic experience: First experience going into Atomic Tattoo was a really good one! My husband and I were walk ins and unsure about anything. In no time at all, we met Raynan and every question was answered quickly and concisely. Raynan reopened one of my lobe piercings and added a brand new Helix piercing! She made my husband and I feel very comfortable and explained everything about the process and the aftercare. We also had a quick consultation with Tyco as I'm considering getting my first tattoo. I was very appreciative that he took time to answer a few of my questions. I've seen his work and he is an excellent artist. Thank you Raynan and Tyco! I'm looking forward to seeing you again at Atomic Tatoo!
Kristina, we’re glad to hear that Raynan and Tyco were able to provide you and your husband with a 5-star experience. We’ll be sure to relay your kind words to them. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Woke up on a Sunday with the urge to get a new Tat. After several shops that went open and wouldn't answer the phone called Atomic and got a answer immediately. Came in and IG : needsmoreblack helped me put in physical form my idea for my new Tat. These guys are great and I will definitely be back!
Jeremy, we’re glad we could assist you when others couldn’t. Thank you for choosing us and letting Mike Jacks bring your idea to life. Congrats on the super clean tattoo & hope to see you again! -Atomic
Negative experience: Went to get a nose ring changed out and the piercer threw away my previous nose ring which I paid $65-$70 bucks for at their south location. He couldn’t find it after I asked for it back so he gave me the GM’s number. Getting a hold of the GM or any kind of customer service is like pulling teeth. No the service itself was not expensive, however the whole experience felt inconsiderate. Subjective but really bummed I lost a pricey piercing that I wanted to keep.
Jenavi, we’re terribly sorry to hear that you had this experience with us! We pride ourselves on our ability to make things right and we hope that you’ll give us a chance to do so. We’d be more than happy to replace your jewelry for you. Please be on the look out for an email from us! -Atomic
Negative experience: UPDATE: even in their response to my review they never offered to give me any of my money back or even talk to me on the phone to get details. They’re obviously okay with letting their piercers act like amateurs. Damaged my jewelry, poorly inserted multiple pieces of jewelry that caused damage to my piercings, cut me with their tools, and refused to give me a refund even though I had to replace all of the jewelry I purchased there due to their poor practices. I was given the owner’s number, the owner ignored my messages. Go elsewhere if you want quality piercings and jewelry, I will never trust an Atomic location again.
Ana, we’re disappointed to hear that you had this experience with us. As you can tell from our other reviews, this is definitely not the norm for us and we’ve investigated the situation to make sure this does not happen to others. We always try to make things right with our customers and wish we had been given a proper chance to do that for you! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: We went to today and worked with Angela, she did a septum for my daughter and a nostril for mine. She was very professional and made us feel comfortable, she is very knowledgeable and quick! We’ll definitely be back!
Sarah, we’re glad to hear that Angela was able to provide you and your daughter with 5-star service! We’re looking forward to having you back! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Went in to get my nose pierced for the second time (still nerve wracking for me), Leo the piercer was absolutely great! Definitely made me feel comfortable and walked me throughout the entire process! He was also very gentle which I appreciate, will definitely recommend! Will be back for more piercings :-)
Negative experience: I have never just walked in some where to get a tattoo so I guess that was my mistake. This was suppose to be- or so I thought, a simple cover up. This is now the worst tattoo I have. Splotches and the lines- well you can see it. And it was 100 dollars!!!! Plus tip! Unbelievable. I hate leaving bad reviews but this one, I just couldn't not.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere! Came to get my septum pierced and it went smoothly. Piercer knew what they were doing and made the experience comfortable and answered all my questions. I definitely plan on coming back.
Andrew, we’re glad to hear that you had an awesome experience with us. We hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Fixing my prior review as I had said we typically love it and one bad example shouldnt determine if you'd like to give them a try. The owners are very nice and the artists are as well maybe just make sure to communicate fully what you're wanting to the letter and redouble check after that too. All and all a wonderful shop
Jose, we’re sorry that you had a less than perfect experience with us. We’d love a chance to make things right with you and your wife. Please reach out at [email protected] with a photo of your wife’s tattoo and any other details on your experience! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I went in for my first tattoo in the evening without an appointment. The studio was very nice inside and each artist had a small suite for privacy. Cody did a great job and was very patient. The price was half of what I had been previously quoted from other studios. I appreciate that they are open late. I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Tattoo by Mike Jacks & Piercings by Sarah. Everything was excellent and what I wanted. Mike helped me through getting a tattoo that matched my others after healing it looks amazing!! Sarah made me feel so comfortable and every follow up she was kind and accommodating and made sure I was healing perfectly. 10/10 recommend.
Cally, thank you for the review! We'll be sure to relay your kind words to Mike and Sarah, they will both be thrilled. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: i came in to see Leo for a lip piercing - they made me feel very comfortable and i was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and time they took to make sure my piercing was going to be perfect ! i will definitely be coming back to see Leo again
We're glad to hear that Leo was able to treat you to an awesome experience! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The owner is real person and cares about people. I'm privileged to call Mike Pain my friend. He runs the ship like a g. Kindness runs deep in this business. Ive known em for over a decade. If you want quality work, go with the best in Austin.
J, we’re glad to hear that Mike treated you to a 5-star experience! We enjoy what we do because of awesome customers like you! Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding piercer, can't recall who it was but she was really calming. It was also impressive how well and quickly they moved their piercing queue;they had a good chunk of people in front of us and I think we only waited like 20 min
Ashton, thank you for the 5-star review! We’re glad to hear that our piercer was able to get you in and out quickly while still providing you with excellent service. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I've gotten several piercings done here. They have very professional staff, they keep their establishment very clean and sanitized and do amazing piercings! Would definitely recommend
Robin, thank you for this excellent review and pictures! Hope to have you back our way. -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff, I was a walk-in with a picture & they got it done. Great work on top of it!
Aaron, we’re glad to hear that you had an awesome experience with us! Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Positive experience: I bought jewelry at the burnet rd location and also got my nose pierced. Angela did a great job. I had no issues with my nose ring jewelry… but I paid a decent amount for a flat back Tragus earring and a month later two of the 3 stones have fallen out. I attempted to contact them via the website to see if there was a warranty on their jewelry and never got a response. I don’t mind paying for body jewelry I just would expect the quality to be better than what it was.
Harley, we’re sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience with us. Please email your contact info to [email protected] so that we can try to make it right! -Atomic
Negative experience: DO NOT RECOMMEND BURNET LOCATION! Went to the south location two days ago to get a nose piercing and jewelry ended up being too small. Called south location and was told to come to burnet location because they had a piercer on staff and we called burnet to make sure they would be available. We let them know we were coming from Kyle (40 minute drive) and they said as long as we show up before 11 that it would only take a couple minutes. We got here at 10:50 and they said to wait and they said they would get through everyone on the list. The piercer finally came out after about 20 minutes and said they were only taking two more people and that everyone else had to leave even though we made sure to call ahead and make sure that it would be taken care of. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND WILL NOT BE BACK. EDIT: Response to owner. No thank you. Will not be returning the service was horrible and wasted 40 minutes getting there and 20 minutes waiting just for them to turn us away. And on top of that had to drive 40 minutes back after calling 3 times to make sure a piercer would be available. WASTE OF TIME. LEFT A LASTING REVIEW.
Jordyn, we are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by our piercing service. Our goal is to provide the best possible service to all of our customers, and it sounds like we fell short for you. We hope that you’ll give us another chance to make things right! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Owl did my first big piece this afternoon and he knocked it out of the park! From the conversations to allowing me to take breaks to a beautiful piece, he is hands down an amazing artist. I cant wait to go back and have him work his magic again! Thank you so much Owl!
Marissa, we’re glad to hear that Owl was able to provide you with a 5-star experience! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him, he’ll be thrilled! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I was so drawn to this shop that I finally decided to get my septum piercing done! The vibes were great, honestly so warm and welcoming and I felt very confident that I had made the right choice. Getting the actual piercing was a breeze and the worker was so knowledgeable and explained everything perfectly, I even got instructions emailed on after care in the case I forgot anything! Definitely going back for any other piercings id want to get in the future! :)
Thanks for the awesome review, Gabriella! We’re glad to hear that you received the 5-star experience we’re known for! We’ll be sure to let our piercer know that you were impressed with their services. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: After years of talking about getting a tattoo, I finally decided to get one. Why did I wait so long? The staff there were so friendly and helpful. And the artist who did mine, Mike Pain, made it a very cool and pleasant experience. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Now I’m looking forward to going back there to get my next one!
Michael, we’re happy you had a fantastic time with us! Thanks for trusting us with your first tattoo. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Mike!
We hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Positive experience: I’ve gotten quite a few piercings here and while I think they are generally good technique and sanitation wise the customer service can be a little hit or miss depending on who you interact with when you come in. Let’s just say some people really give off the stereotypical “too cool for school” vibe that is kinda unprofessional. I still like it here though and i would still trust them to do my nose and ear piercings if I had to do it again!
Nenye, thank you for your honest feedback! We appreciate you letting us know what we can work on to ensure your next visit with us is a 5-star experience! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter to get her eyebrow pierced, they were very informative and walked her through the whole thing. She loves it!!!
Fantastic experience: Randy and Dan did mine and my wife's matching tattoos, both did amazing work yet each had little differences to make them both unique. Love the shop and will be back for more!
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are so glad to hear that our artists were able to make your experience with us a memorable one. We will pass on your compliments to Dan and Randy! Come back soon! -Atomic
Negative experience: My daughter called for a base price for a tattoo and she was told it’s $80 na d ir was going to be an hour and half wait she waited for up to 3 hours and the tattooist tilde it was going to be $150 for 4 words on her rib. What a rip off. Not happy with the service
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Patie.
Our shop minimum is $80 but it varies depending on the size/location/detail/artist skill level.
In response to your comment about waiting times, we can assure you that our goal is always to see customers in a timely manner, but sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control which mean we need more time than expected with a customer.
We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future!

Fantastic experience: i got my septum done here and i absolutely love it! the girl who did mine was so sweet and chill, made me feel very comfortable. i was a little nervous going in since i was on the younger side but she treated me like any old customer! place was clean and vibe was great. 10/10 :)
Thank you for the awesome feedback, Avery! We’re glad to hear that our artists were able to make you feel comfortable with us! We hope you come back and see us again!! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I’ve been wanting to get the right side of my nose repierced for a while now. I was down the street and decided to call and ask if they did walk-ins. I was told they do but that the night piercer called in so if I could make it in within 10 minutes they could squeeze me in. When I arrived, everyone was super cool and friendly. They made me feel very comfortable. I ended up getting two piercings on my right side by MJ. She was super sweet and did an awesome job! She made sure all my nose piercings lined up perfectly! The process did not feel rushed at all & I am super happy with the results! I will definitely be going back when I decide what piercing I want next!
Xochitl, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re super stoked to hear that MJ was able to squeeze you in for some awesome piercings today! Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Expectations were declining quickly with the lack of customer service over the phone. BUT, Kieran saved the day and was A-MAZ-ING!! So patient, kind, understanding, Professional and informative with the aftercare. Even played some chill music to help calm my nerves. If I ever muster up enough courage for another piercing, I’ll def go see Kieran.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that Kieran was able to help calm your nerves! We will be looking into the the lack of customer service displayed by our staff over the phone. Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: My husband went in for a piercing, and I went in for a tattoo. We both came out happy and satisfied. Cody did my tattoo, and he was GREAT. Great customer service and care. He made sure I was happy with everything before he started. Will be going back for my next tattoo.
Lacey, we’re stoked to hear that you and your husband both received the quality of service that we strive for! We couldn’t agree more, Cody is awesome and we’re definitely lucky to have him! Hopefully y’all come back and see us soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Honestly best place ever to get pierced, especially this location since it’s the one with the widest selection of jewelry. Angela is the best piercer I know in Austin, super nice, clean, fast and gives amazing advice. She’s been unbelievably helpful with all my piercings, never plan on going to anyone else!
Thanks for the awesome feedback, Emily! Our OG shop definitely has a great jewelry selection! You’re right, Angela is always going above and beyond. We’ll be sure to share your praises with her! Come see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here with three piercers. The owner removed my earrings and another put them back in. Angie was able to put my piercings back in even though they were difficult. She also pierced two new piercings for me and did a great job! The posts used ended up being too small so I had to go back and another male piercer helped me and was able to remove them even though the swelling make it extrémalo hard and painful. He fixed me up with longer posts and I’m doing much better. Everyone there was very professional and kind!
Fantastic experience: I cannot remember for the life of me the lady who did my piercing. She was very patient and informative, she did not seem annoyed with my many questions. I would recommend her 100%
We’re really happy you enjoyed your visit, Tasha! We hope to see you again soon!
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: We used Atomic for years as our go to piercing and tattoo parlor and they have yet to let us down
Thank you for your kind words, Emmanuel. We hope to see you again soon for your next tattoo!
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: Had been looking for help with a couple mouth piercings that had been out for awhile and possibly needed to be relieved and also new jewelry. Called ahead (mid-day on a Friday maybe), got confirmation services were available immediately, pricing estimates and jewelry confirmed. Showed up, was seen immediately and the awesome piercer on shift actually only charged me for the jewelry ($15 a piece) and just helped get them in (the original holes hadn't fully closed up so no repierce needed). Also offered to alert me when a specific jewelry would be in stock and to put it aside for me. Super fast, super sweet service as always. Always recommend them but this location was especially memorable.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with us, Monica. We hope to see you again soon!
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: I loved them! Very professional fast easy.. I actually got a nose ring because I wanted a double nose piercing. Welp I put in my own and it got STUCK! I called them up, they were able to get it out in SECONDS! & replaced my other hoop! Now I have 2 double nose piercings & I’m extremely happy about how professional & courteous they were! Thanks guys!
Hi Vanessa, we’re glad to hear that you were more than satisfied with our piercing services. We hope to see again soon!

Fantastic experience: Took my friend to have his ears done for the first time, and Laurel rocked the freaking world getting it handled for him! Atomic Tattoo came highly rated from several folks, and I will definitely be returning so I, personally, can get more piercings!
We’re glad to hear that you were satisfied with our services, Julie. We can’t wait to see you again for your next piercings!
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: I’m always hesitant about going to new shops, I’ve been in Texas for two years and and finally got my piercings in December. My friend has gotten multiple piercings from Andy and recommended him to me. He did a wonderful job. I was robbed about two weeks after the piercings and the guy ended up ripping out one of my nostril piercings. Andy was so kind and was able to get it back in for me the same night. I don’t have any experiences with anyone else at this shop, but I do plan to get a couple tattoos this year <3
Ariana, we’re glad Andy was able to turn your rough day around. We hope to see you again soon!
