Anthony, thank you for the 5-stars. Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely wonderful and educational piercing experience! Turns out I didn't need to get repierced and just needed some love and knowledge!! Thank you so much!
Kate, we’re always happy to help!

Rebecca, thank you for the 5-stars!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a dedicated artist, AUSTIN LEE is your man. I’ve been a client and friend of Austin’s for almost 10 years now. Just in that time, I’ve been able to see the progress he’s made with his artwork and that itself has been a beautiful thing to see. He’s always been good, but now he’s the absolute GOAT. He is by far the best artist I’ve ever worked with. The photos I’m sharing in this post are just a few of the beautiful additions on a piece we’ve been working on over the last year. The focus and skill he puts into every piece he designs is top tier. You can tell Austin truly loves what he does and it shines bright through his art. He makes sure you understand everything - from the initial consultation all the way to your final aftercare instructions. You will not be disappointed with Austin as your artist.
Samantha, thank you for the 5-stars!
Fantastic experience: Ok. *Rolls Up Sleeves* I went to Atomic Tattoo on a really important day for me and I could not have been more blown away by Mia, who helped me get my first piercing. She had an incredible warm and inviting personality - overall just infectious. I felt like we vibed really well from the get go, as if we have known each other for years. Even my boyfriend talked to me afterward about how great she was! She answered my plethora of questions about what I wanted, how I wanted it to look, healing process, etc. She then took her time to show me various studs in a way that felt very calm, no rushed, and zero sales push. She walked me through extensively what to expect and made sure I was very comfortable with getting the piercing in the first place, prepping the spot to pierce, the healing process, and even get her experienced advice on where the piercing would be best based on what I wanted to wear long term. And my goodness, 1/10 for pain of the piercing. What a way to top of the night! She also gave me her instagram so that I can ask future questions! Last but not least, there are places and people that are not always welcoming to the LGBT+ Community. My boyfriend and I felt incredibly safe and welcome in the environment she created. We really do wanna thank you for providing the best piercing experience I could have asked for on a special day for me.
Chris, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We’re glad to hear that you felt comfortable at the shop and had a good piercing experience with Mia. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience! Everything was quick and smooth — as someone who’s spent over six hours under the tattoo needle before, this session was an absolute breeze. My artist, Shank (sorry if I misspelled your name!), was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. The tattoo turned out amazing, and the pricing was just as impressive. I usually like to try out different shops, but this one really stood out — such a pleasant and positive experience from start to finish. Thank you, Shank! I barely felt a thing, and you did a fantastic job. I’ll definitely be back!
Phil, thank you for the 5-stars and the photos. Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Jolie did a wonderful job on my tattoo! Definitely worth going very pleased with her work and her professional skills. I will be going back and having her do all of my tattoos! All of the staff was great and nice.
We’re glad to hear you had a great experience and hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: The team at Atomic Tattoo is great. Seven of us came in with the idea of super small matching tattoos, and Shank and Mark took care of us with patience and kindness. Shank listened to our preferences and concerns and even suggested ways we can place the tattoo so it was not readily visible if you didn't want to show it. Mark worked with us to find good placement options and the perfect tattoo option for our needs. And the team at Atomic played by the rules. Even the "but I'm the parent" didn't get us out of the ID requirement for those in the group (so bring your ID) and Shank and Mark were meticulous about cleanliness and care. Whether you’re after a subtle “one-and-done” or a bold statement piece, you should check them out!
Mitch, thank you for the awesome review! We hope to see you again soon:)
Fantastic experience: Love this location! Torrey is the best and did an amazing job on my first tattoo. She made me feel super comfortable and made the experience super easy and fast. I will definitely be back to see her again!
Jamie, thank you for leaving such a kind review! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Got my face piercings replaced finally. Great spot. Great prices.
Jennifer, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter for her very first tattoo and the experience couldn’t have been better! The artist was patient, kind, and incredibly skilled, making her feel completely comfortable. The shop was clean, welcoming, and had such a relaxed vibe. Her tattoo turned out absolutely perfect — exactly what she envisioned. Such a special milestone, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to make the memory!
Xenia, thank you for such a wonderful review! We hope to see you both again soon!
Fantastic experience: Went there yesterday for a stuck Daith clicker removal and Cameron was absolute best! He was so patient and quick and knew exactly what would run in a client’s mind while getting a removal done. He definitely knows his shit and is your guy if you are planning to get a piercing for yourself! Great place, vibes and people.
Sarayu, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Positive experience: I came in around 5 PM mid week about a month ago and everyone was kind and professional, which I appreciated. There was a bit of a wait for the piercer, but nothing unreasonable. I visited to have three piercings reinserted that had only been out for about a week due to my job—they had not closed. I was charged $30, which I initially accepted, but after visiting a few other reputable shops around Austin, I realized I was extremely overcharged. Every other place charged $10 total (or even did it for free with jewelry purchase), so $30 felt excessive in comparison. While the service was okay, the pricing just doesn’t match the standard I’ve experienced elsewhere. I would recommend checking around before coming here for jewelry reinsertion.(it was a tragus, a rook, and a conch)
Thank you for the kind words!
We offer free jewelry changes when it’s purchased from us (usually at the time of purchase or with the receipt). For outside jewelry, jewelry changes range from $5-$10 per piece, depending on the piercing and the jewelry provided.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: KC provided exceptional tattoo artistry; the work is currently healing and will require a touch-up, but I will definitely commission further work from him. Thank you for the pleasantries and engaging conversation; I look forward to our next appointment. Please mention my name (Nathan) when scheduling an appointment with KC for additional discount. His pricing is also very reasonable.
Nathan, thank you for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I love Bruno! I go to him for all my tattoos. He’s creative, attentive and honest. He helps you create pieces that fit your aesthetic and your body and he takes his time making sure you love it before he starts. Would give more starts if I could!
Janaina, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re glad to hear that you loved your experience with Bruno & hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I’m currently planning my tenth tattoo with Bruno — yeah, tenth — and I honestly can’t imagine getting tattooed by anyone else. He’s been my artist since day one. He did a half sleeve for me starting from my hand and working up the arm, and now we’re moving to the outer upper arm to continue the piece. On top of that, we’ve done a bunch of smaller, fun tattoos on my left arm. Every single one of them has healed perfectly — even the ones I’ve had for years. Not once have I had a problem or concern. The quality of his work, the precision, and the care he puts into every session — it’s just way above standard. The experience, the atmosphere, the end result… it’s all worth it, every time. Bruno isn’t just a tattoo artist. He’s someone you build a journey with. And if you’re serious about getting something meaningful, something built to last, he’s the one. No question.
Marcelo, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re glad to hear that you’ve had such great experiences with Bruno & hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Came in to get this custom piece from Bruno. This was my fourth time being tattooed by him and as always he never disappoints. His line work and shedding are some of the best. He took an abstract concept I had and turned it into a solid piece of art. Can't recommend enough.
DeMitchel, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I got my new tattoo done yesterday and Bruno could not have done a better job ♥️ I knew it was going to look good but actually seeing it, exceeded my expectation. Bruno’s attention to details and the way he brought my vison for the tattoo to life is just amazing. He’s passionate about what he does and it shows. On top of that, he is very neat, professional and friendly. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. I’m super happy with the results and the service provided. Bruno, thank you again I’ll be back.
Bettina, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Chris was amazing! He was quick and effective, great prices awesome staff and atmosphere. Favorite tattoo place in Austin!
Maybell, thank you for the 5-stars!
Fantastic experience: I go through and get workdone with Mark! Great guy who does great work! Just got another piece done with Mark, if you want a sick as piece go to this atomic ask for mark
Corey, thank you for the awesome review. We’ll be sure to relay your message to Mark, he’ll be thrilled! We hope to see you again in the New Year! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Bruno regarding an idea I had for a back tattoo and he happily took on the project. I showed him only a few examples of what I was looking for and he managed to create a beautiful design that is better than I could have ever wished for! Underneath one of the vultures is a very dark tattoo and at this point you can hardly tell it was there. He did a great job covering it up. He has been a pleasure to work with, extremely professional, his workspace is very clean, and of course he has provided me with an amazing tattoo!! We are halfway done, but I am really looking forward to the final product. I definitely recommend working with Bruno.
Ani, your back piece turned out awesome!
Fantastic experience: My Daughter has scoliosis surgery when she was young and a very large scar remained on her back, which she was never comfortable with. When she turned 18 she decided she wanted a tattoo to cover it. We researched, read reviews and decided Bruno Araujo at Atomic was out Artist. She was terrified, I was terrified as no one in our family has tattoos and we were not familiar with the process. Looking back, I honestly cannot imagine doing this with anybody else. Bruno just has a very calm, and peaceful spirit but he also has a quiet confidence where your nerves are just really quelled as you realize he is extremely talented at his craft and just has solid character. My daughter and I both left the consultation feeling so much better about all the unknown that lay ahead and even excited for the experience. Up until the very day of lol. Our nerves again got the better of us as we walked into the shop. But again Bruno just immediately clocked our nerves I'm sure and again just eased our fear in the most natural ways just being himself. The intricacies of her scar did not make for an easy design. But he managed to design what she wanted with every single curve and line of her scar in mind. I was astounded at how much craft and care went into this design. The whole tattoo process he remained easygoing, upbeat & happy and a consummate professional. He reassured my daughter when she needed it, was just so patient with us. I never felt like he was rushing through the process. Her piece turned out STUNNING. Vivid, unique and flawless. The entire experience and the end result far exceeded both my daughter and my own expectations. If it's you that's wanting a tattoo, your girlfriend/boyfriend, Mom, best friend whoever... I absolutely promise you that you are safe trusting your most beloved people and their or your own vision in his hands.
Angel, thank you for the 5-stars! Glad we were able to help, come back soon!
Fantastic experience: I shared a concept with Bruno for a seaplane surrounded by palm fronds to start a leg sleeve and he embellished and made it more than I could have imagined while staying true to my style and design ideas. He’s very easy to collaborate with and prioritizes my happiness with the end product and respects the fact that I am an artist who uses other mediums and uses his skills to help me make what I am envisioning a reality. He is a great vibe, meticulous artist, has a light hand, is very focused on cleanliness and aftercare, and his lines are fire! So happy to have found him.
Christy, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: This place had been amazing, came here 4 year ago for a lil flash art and still looks great today! Recently just came in for a walk in and was helped out right away by Bruno. He took his time off to fit me in and get my leg sleeve done in just two days!! Everyone in the shop was super nice during my tattoo and came to check out the piece. I’ll be flying out again with my husband for more tattoos from Atomic!!
Samantha, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the style Chris (chris.p.tatter on Instagram) does! I got my 2nd tattoo by him yesterday from a flash, and it's amazing!! He's got a great personality and makes the time fly by, overall just a super fun experience each time!! Definitely recommend and I will for sure be returning!!
Kira, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: This place is great! I am from out of town finding this location online. Very clean and friendly. Torrey was amazing!! She was very professional and friendly. If you want a tattoo I highly recommend her
Donna, thank you for such an awesome review!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Collie! He created the perfect tiny tattoos for me. He was has great prices and is a very personable guy.
Trisha, glad to hear you had a great experience. Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I got matching tattoos on V day, an Shank did an awesome job. I will be back to see her in the future for other tattoos! Thank you!!!

Kate, thank you for such an awesome review! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: master roshi did my first ever piercings and they look amazing, no fuss no complications. THANK YOU ROSHI!!!
Remy, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Wow. I had such an amazing experience with the piercer Cassie, (@needlesbynoodles on instagram) I was treated with so much respect, and my anatomy was assessed to make sure I received the best possible piercings for me. I had Cassie do forward nostrils on me, she absolutely nailed them both. I was so comfortable and so confident in her work. I am more than impressed, I am ASTONISHED! Come see Cassie, she knows what she is doing!
Sorren, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: Really disappointed, it’s been a little bit since I’ve gotten my tattoo but it is so badly done. The lines are so messy and uneven, there are lines that are missing on some wings, so nothing looks symmetrical, the antennas are messy, and one side is completely thicker than the other one. I would avoid walking in here.
Hi, we’re sorry you were disappointed with your experience. We’d love to get more details on the situation so that we can make things right with you. Please reach out on Instagram @atomictattooaustin or through email [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Great experience here with Torrey for my first tattoo! She was wonderful to work with for designing what I wanted. I want to shout out the folks working at the desks who helped me find another atomic location with artists available so I could get a walk in consult without waiting as long. I also really appreciated the piercer at the first location I went to who used a taper to help get new jewelry into what I thought were closed piercings. It was great to save on the cost of a new piercing, but more than that she was so nice and gentle, and I will definitely go back for any further piercings I do want!
Kate, thank you for the kind words! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Get Shank as your artist! I promise you wont be dissapointed! Very clean station and perfect lines and shading
Andy, thank you for the 5-stars! Come back soon!
Fantastic experience: Every time I come here to get my piercings it’s always amazing ! They walk me through step by step and are super communicative.
Mae, thank you for the kind review! Come back soon!
Negative experience: For starters, this location was the first ever shop I stepped into to get ANY kind of art/work done. I wanted to start with ear lobe piercings, got them pierced with a decent set they gave me, for around $80, which is reasonable for the first time. About a month later, I came back after accidentally ripping the backing off of the piercing on a pillow, totally my fault. They told me I could buy a new pair of backings, which I did, and while I was there I decided to buy a bigger stud than what they initially gave me, ended up being $90. Fast forward to now, I had an incident today where my new piercing got sucked up into my left ear and pulled through. I went to a different shop, where they told me it was the complete wrong type of jewelry to use for basic lobe jewelry, and that is why it pulled through. They took out my old bloody stud, put a placeholder in, and gave me a free set all for no charge. All in all, I spent $170 at Atomic, just to be screwed over, and have to swap my jewelry because I paid a hefty price tag for what I thought was quality studs. Do not do business with this shop. They take advantage of the people who walk through their doors.
Fantastic experience: Came back to see Roshi for another piercing. He's such an awesome and patient person. Great at what he does... Met him last year for my daughter's Helix piercing and came back again for our nose piercings. Definitely coming back again for all future piercings!!! Thanks again Roshi... The artists are great there to.. I've worked with Mark a few times.. Cool ass vibes!!
Tiffany, thank you for such a kind review! We hope to continue seeing you!
Fantastic experience: My girl Alisyn did such a great job with my tattoo. I love how it came out!!!☺️ 100/100 definitely going back!!!!!
Alayna, thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo from Shank and it was such an amazing experience! Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is so caring into making sure you’re happy with what you want and comfortable too! I highly recommend her, she is who I will always be going to. I love Shank!
Lilbbun, thank you for you’re feedback! We loved having you in the shop and hope that you come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Atomic tattoo has a very clean, friendly, fun atmosphere. Great staff. My piercing turned out great. Their prices are great as well. I like the staff members professionalism. Atomic has a very clean environment and good practices. They have a tv area you can wait in and there are comfy chairs to relax and hang out while waiting for your tattoo or piercings. Great shop! I wish they had more jewelry items for sale though. Atomic is a great place to go for piercing and tattoo needs.
Danielle, thank you for the 5-stars and appreciate your feedback on our jewelry selection! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: alisyn is the best tattoo artist she gives amazing quality tattoos and makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable

Chuck, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with us. Come back soon!
Positive experience: Nice knowledgeable staff gave me. Good recommendations. did not try to sell me some high price jewelry that I didn't need. He actually helped Pick something out on Amazon, and he just said, "Bring it in, and I'll insert it for 10 bucks." Honestly, I was thinking about this is gonna cost me 30 or $40. So to be honest, I already have a piercing, but the jewelry in it is too small. I was looking to upgrade the gauge, and they actually did not have that in stock, but he helped me find it. And I'll try to , remember his name and um, edit this posting
Bob, we’re glad to hear you had such a great experience with us. We hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: The staff at Atomic Tattoo in Pflugerville were very nice and helpful ...... David is an amazing artist ...... I am very pleased with my Tattoo ...... He was so helpful in the design and contributed several ideas ..... I highly recommend Atomic Tattoo
David, we’re glad to hear that you had such an awesome experience with us. We hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Torrey is the best!! She made me feel super comfortable, and did such an amazing job. Will definitely come back! This is your sign to book an appointment with her!✨
We’re glad to hear that you had a positive experience with Torrey! We hope to have you back soon! -Atomic
Negative experience: I’ve had several tattoos done at this location in years past, and it was always a positive experience. Sadly, the staff currently working this past Sunday thought it was funny to joke, in grotesque detail, about eating babies right in front of my mother, who was there getting her first tattoo, and myself as I held my newborn baby. It was deplorable and unprofessional. We had no personal relationship or prior conversation that would have warranted any of them thinking that was an acceptable topic of convo to banter about in present company. Super disappointing and will 100% be the reason I won’t be returning to that location for future work done.
Michelle, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We deeply apologize for the discomfort you and your mother experienced during your visit.
While our shop does have a relaxed and open atmosphere, we strive to ensure that all our clients feel comfortable and respected and we regret that this was not your experience.
We will address this with our artists to prevent such incidents in the future. Your past patronage means a lot to us, and we are truly sorry to have disappointed you this time.
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: Came in tonight as walk-ins for my mom to get ear lobe piercings, and for me to get a double helix piercing. Neither of us have tattoos, and this was my mom's first time getting her ears done since she was 6 (as a 50-something mom of 5) and probably her first time ever in a tattoo shop - but she came because I told her it would be so much better than a piercing gun! Including all of those details to highlight that we were both a little worried we might be out of place, but especially my mom. From check in to the end, everyone here was SO NICE. The place is nice and very, very clean. There were a couple of their artists up front, and although I failed to get their names, they were lovely as well. Our piercer, Kieran, was great about explaining everything to us thoroughly, working with both of us on perfect positioning for our piercings, talking through any nerves.. and was so, so friendly the whole time. We're both thrilled with how everything turned out. 10/10, and I'll be back for my next one! Thanks Kieran and Atomic team :)
Jessica, thank you for leaving such a thoughtful review! You both look fabulous with your new piercings, we can’t wait to have y’all back for more! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: angie was seriously the sweetest angel ever i had to have an mri and my piercings decided to not want to go back in after and she helped me out sooooo much and was so gentle and caring while getting them back in for me, forever so grateful
Shelby, thank you for the 5-stars. We’re glad to hear that you loved Angela as much as we do! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: So, let me say, I'm not Collie's normal client, as he really likes a different vibe!! He is more about the dark and sulky side and I'm pinks and purples with whimsy! But, with a twist of fate I ended up on his table. His candor and raw honesty is very, VERY refreshing. Collie was committed to ensuring that he tattooed exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it!! He made a custom shade of magenta for me just because I wanted it! He was patient and understanding when I was having a hard time with my final decisions. It was a wonderful experience! The piercer was also very sweet and very kind to everyone who came in (including me). I'll for sure visit her when I am ready for my nose to be re-done!!
Shannon, thank you for leaving such a wonderful review for Collie. Hope to have you back soon! -Atomic
Positive experience: My daughter 16 had been here twice to try and get her ears pierced she was quoted a price. 1st time she needed an adult and birth certificate which is fine so she came back with my wife but the but the piercer was out sick. They came back today and I just happened to be with them. She got her ears pierced and she went to pay and it was $40 more than she was quoted. The piercer said the sittings were included. She paid but felt taken advantage of. When asked they said this piercer only uses better jewelry and they charged her extra for that. So they didn’t honor what she was quoted and didn’t seem to care. That sort of thing just leaves a bad taste. They did do a good job with the piercing.
Fantastic experience: ✨Lee is a badass! What a fantastic, water-color expert tattoo artist. He used his own interesting and fun technique to make the water color very organic and smooth. He actually worked on a previous tattoo I had, and he brought a whole new life to it. If you want amazing watercolor, come to atomic on duval and talk to LEE. ✨
Thank you for the 5-stars Briana! We’re glad to hear that you had an amazing experience with Lee. We hope to have you back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I had such a positive experience today!!! Leo the piercing artist is a valuable asset to the Atomic Tattoo family combining friendliness, professionalism, kindness, and an informative service. Also, mad props to the lovely Sarah who also made our experience beautiful ❤️
Luna, we’re happy to hear that you had a positive experience with us. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Leo and Sarah. Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to this location multiple times for tattoos both as a walk in and with an appointment and the staff is always very kind, welcoming, and honest. Everyone I’ve worked with has been great but Collie has been my favorite!
Emily, we’re glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience upon each visit with us! We’ll be sure to share your review with Collie and the rest of the team. Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Recently got an amazing tattoo from Shank at the 183 location. They did amazing work I love it so much. They were fast and the detail is so good. Store was clean and nice. I will be back again and soon.
Case, thank you for the awesome review, we’ll be sure to share it with Shank. We’re excited to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: My friend and I went to this Atomic for our tongue piercings, and we both LOVED how they came out, especially getting them done by Raynan. Not only was the environment super chill, clean, and comfortable, but ray and was such a sweet piercer. She talked us through every step of the way, was VERY patient, and assured us the pain would be minimal. It was! We were super nervous about it, but both walked out feeling very excited about our new piercings. We even came back the next day to bring our friend. I would recommend this location as I’ve gotten my nose, belly, and tongue from here & they have healed super well. Great staff!
Marissa, thank you for the 5-stars. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Raynan, she’ll be thrilled to hear you all had an excellent experience! Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I visited this store today to get a nose piercing, this was my first time getting a professional piercing so I was really nervous. Roshi made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole visit. The process was very fast, and simple. The whole thing was over in a matter of 10 minutes, including set up, piercing and payment. If I ever decide to get another piercing I will be coming back here and asking for him again!
Ashley, thank you for the 5-stars! Roshi will be thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with him. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic

Fantastic experience: Dude. This. Place. Is. A. Lifesaver. I had an embedded earring, panicked a lot, and I was about to go to the ER. My friend said that they might be able to help me get it out, so we called. They said that they could help and so later that day we went over. It was my first piercing, so I was incredibly nervous. The man told me to lay on the table and he looked at it. He poked it once, and I flinched due to the pain. He said he had to POP IT OUT. I was freaking out, but I trusted him. He did it so easily. No mess-ups, nothing. He said, "It's done," I was like, "What?? Already???" If you've had acne, this is nothing. Coming back in the future to get some tatts!!! Thanks!
Cameron, we're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with us! It's great to know that we could help you with your embedded earring and put you at ease during the process. We appreciate your trust in us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for your future tattoo needs. Thank you for choosing us! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Brian Pierced both of my eyebrows, my vertical Lebray, and my bridge. A very upbeat person, and informed me on how to take care of them. he did such an amazing job and they healed perfectly. if you are looking to get any piercings at Atomic Tattoo, I highly recommend to check him out.:) as well as yoshi, I’ve gotten my angel fangs and septum done by him, and they look amazing. He puts the cleaning solution on that’s mixed with Lavender and it’s super calming and relaxing. I am so happy with the results and I’m so thankful for him..
Alyssa, thank you for the killer review on our piercers! We’re glad to hear they were able to impress you. We hope to have you back soon for more piercings! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Best experience I've ever had, I have been wanting to get my bridge pierced for years and I finally decided it was time. I called ahead of time to make sure they took walk-ins and when I came in, Brian was very quick to see me. He explained the dangers of this piercing to make sure I knew what I was getting. He made me feel very comfortable and the piercing barely hurt at all. It's perfect and straight, I love it, 10/10 would definitely recommend
Wren, we’re glad to hear that you had an awesome experience with us! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Brian, he’ll be thrilled. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic

Fantastic experience: Atomic is where it’s at. The staff is friendly, nice, and professional. The shop is clean, chill, and accessible. Beyond pleased with the design that Shank put together for my first piece. This business donates to the MS Society which is what inspired the idea that I presented to Shank and they knocked it out of the park. Looking forward to coming back for more!
Graham, thank you for the awesome review! We’re glad to hear that Shank was able to provide you with a 5-star experience. We can’t wait to have you back! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been tattooed at Atomic many times and always had a great experience. It's always very clean, everyone is friendly and overall we've always enjoyed getting tattooed here. Today we brought our teenage son in to get his first piercing, his ear. I called before and to verify what my husband I would need to bring for our son to get it done. They needed his birth certificate and ID. Brian was his piercer and he was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, talked my son through his first piercing each step of the way, was funny and just truly genuine. We would absolutely book to get pierced by him again and highly recommend him. He made it a great experience for our son. I'll also add the whole place was very clean and sterilized. Thanks Brian!
Jamie, thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your family always choosing us and hope to have you back for many years to come! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Got a rook piercing by Roshi. Friend got her Medusa done and another friend got second lobe piercings. Had a great experience and all are healing great! Roshi is hilarious and always a fun but calm person to work with.
Maegan, we’re glad to hear that Roshi was able to treat you and your friend to a 5-star experience. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I went in to get an industrial and eyebrow piercing and was greeted by Leo, who did my piercings. This was by far the best experience I've had. He not only answered all my questions, but he explained the procedures and was extremely knowledgeable. He talked me through every step, which helped reassure me. I am extremely grateful to have met Leo, who is passionate about what he does. I definitely recommend his work!
Norma, we're glad to hear that Leo was able to treat you to an awesome experience with us. We can't wait to have you back in shop soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Brian did mine and my brother’s nose piercings today. He was so friendly and knowledgeable in what he does. It made us feel so comfortable. I would recommend Brian to anybody seeking a piercing.
Klaryssa, we're glad to hear that Brian was able to treat you and your brother to an amazing experience with us. We'll be sure to relay your kind words to him, he will be thrilled! -Atomic

Darahani, we’re so glad to hear that you loved your experience with us. We can’t wait to see you again for your next awesome tattoo!
-Atomic
Fantastic experience: Roshi was patient and walked me through the entire process since I told him I was nervous. He was very attentive. I will be going back to him for piercing in the future.
Andrea, we’re glad to hear that you had an amazing experience with Roshi! We loved having you in the shop and hope that you come back soon! -Atomic
Positive experience: Great place, clean, friendly artist. A little pricey, i think. Paid 250 for my tat. My friend went with me and she paid 450 for her butterflies. I will be looking for better prices somewhere else. But they did do a good job.
Tim, thank you for leaving us some feedback on your experience! Just a friendly reminder that all of our artists are independent contractors which means they set their own prices. With 5 locations, we’re confident that we have an artist that fits your budget & style preferences! Check out our website to see all of our available artists for your next visit! -Atomic

Fantastic experience: made a last minute decision this week to go through with a bridge piercing! so so so very happy that i did; it looks amazing! i was quite nervous but brian talked me through the entire process and took his time to get it as straight through as he could! i could not be happier! i can’t say much for tattoos but if you’re looking for a piercing this is the place to be! definitely ask for brian (and tell him i sent you while you’re at it!) :)
Calypso, thank you for the 5-stars! We’re glad to hear that Brian was able to treat you to a positive experience with us. We’ll be sure to relay your kind words to him. Your piercing looks great!
We’d love to see you again when it heals to hook you up with a cool piece of jewelry (& possibly another piercing?)! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Really chill place, while waiting we could pick whatever we wanted to watch on the tv in the waiting area. Just got the lines for my first tattoo there tonight! Came out perfectly thanks to the handiwork of Jorge Aguilar, who was a super cool guy and made the experience way better than I could have ever expected. Can't wait to get it finished in a month!

Ida, thank you for the 5-stars! Shank will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I loved this place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Collie did was my tattoo artist and he was so helpful in deciding the best placement. I don’t know a lot about tattoos so it was really great to have someone take the time to talk me through the pros and cons of the placement I originally wanted. I love how the tattoo turned out and love the placement he suggested. He took his time, was clean, and friendly. I will definitely go back in the future.
Ellice, thank you for leaving us such an awesome review! We’ll be sure to let Collie know that you had a great experience with him. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this location! My husband and I have seen Mark a few times and are always so impressed and beyond satisfied with his work! Since we’ve started coming to this location we’ve recommended mark to other friends and family who have all been very happy with his work also! We will continue coming back here as it’s a clean environment and all the staff is so friendly and welcoming! They will not disappoint!
Kristen, thanks for the awesome review! We’re glad to hear that Marks skills keep you and your husband coming back for more! We hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Brian was a top notch professional piercer! Me and my wife got our nose peirced. Brian did them both is the perfect spot and they look amazing. He was one rad dude. He gave exceptional service and went above and beyond. If your looking for a piercing I totally recommend Bryan. ✌️
Day, thank you for the fantastic review! We’re glad to hear that you and your wife were both impressed with Brians skills! We’ll be sure to relay your kind words to him. Come back soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I called and went to many tattoo parlors for a wedding ring tattoo. Atomic was the only place that said "no problem" They informed me it may not come out right but respected my choice to get it anyway. And my artist, Collie, did a marvelous job. He had a light hand and it didn't hurt at all! He drew the perfect ring for me and I've been complimented every day for an awesome tat! Thanks Collie, thanks Atomic!
Martha, thank you for the amazing review. Finger tattoos can be tricky but we're glad to hear that Collie knocked it out of the park for you! Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Update: I’ve now gotten two tattoos from Collie and I’m so happy with the amount of detail and beauty in them. He will make sure you don’t get something that you’ll end up hating in the long run and will have you walking out with a dope tat.Very talented, truly recommend! Got my Helix pierced and mom my mom got her Tragus done. Amazing people working there. Will be back for tattoos next ☺️
Update: We’re glad to hear that we’ve continued to impress you, Alyssa! We hope to see you again soon for a 3rd awesome tattoo!
Alyssa, we're so excited to hear you and your mom had a great experience with us! Can't wait to welcome you back for your tattoos. Thanks for all the love and support! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Ever since it’s opening, Atomic Tattoo has been a staple in the Austin art, music and creative scene. Quite a few of Texas’s top artists and piercers have their roots planted in these walls and it’s sistering locations spread out through the Austin area! Walking in this time, it was unremarkable to see how much effort and quality work they put into this amazing renovation of the entire shop. these people pride themselves in their abilities, cleanliness and dedication to provide the best outcome for whatever it is you may be looking for. i’ve been coming in since my 18th birthday and even after seeing a lot of other good shops, this is still always my go-to location. if you’re looking for an experience you won’t forget, look no further. Everyone is there to help one another and make sure everyone is amazed by the final result. I’d like to consider these people my friends first and tattooists second. a honorable mention definitely being Brian, who didn’t even think to charge me for an adjustment for my nose stud when i came in. other shops want another $25 to fix what they should’ve done in the first place but the kicker was is i got the piercing at completely different studio unrelated to Atomic. These folks are really there to help and assure quality, sanitation of their tools, environment and workmanship provided to each of their guests. Will definitely be going back soon for the craving of some awesome new ink!
Nikolay, we are blown away by your review! We're glad to hear that we have been able to keep you coming back year after year. Thank you for being such an amazing loyal customer! -Atomic
Negative experience: Turn out, the first impression can be wrong. The recommended tattoo artist never responded to my inquiry. The two that were present at the shop when I stop by the second time to try my luck said that they can't do the image I wanted cos its not their stile. Sad for them and will never be back.
Update: Hi, we’re sorry to hear that you had a less than stellar experience with us. We’d love if you could reach out to us directly to discuss your experience in more detail. You can email us at [email protected]. Hopefully you’ll give us a chance to make things right! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Danoski did matching tattoos for me and my mom and he did an amazing job. We were so impressed with his professionalism and he really made us feel comfortable and let us take our time thinking about what we want. Danoski is an incredibly talented artist and I’d definitely recommend him
Alyssa, we’re glad to hear that Danoski was able to provide you with a stellar experience! We’ll be sure to relay your kind words to him, he’ll be thrilled! We hope to see you again soon. -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience here. Last year I went to a shop in SATX where I live for dimple piercings and had a horrible experience. I ended up taking them out after a week and spent 7 months searching for a new shop. My friend who lives in Austin recommended this shop and it was 10x better overall communication and work ethic. Bryan was my piercer and took his time to make sure the were aligned correctly and where I wanted them to be. I love my piercings 10/10 highly recommend this shop.
Chikere, thank you for the super review! We appreciate that you chose us and we’re glad to hear Brian made your experience great. Come back and see us again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Well let me tell you…….that girl Shank was the best. Very gentle and her talent really showed in her work. She tatted my son and I and she corrected my old tattoo making it perfect!!! Ask for Shank!
Aury, thank you for leaving such an awesome review! We’re glad to hear that you were impressed with Shank. We’ll be sure to relay your kind words. Hope to see you again soon! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Danoski was amazing! He was so detailed and took his time. I will definitely be back to him. Recommend ......12/22 updated with more amazing work! He's truly amazing and very good at what he does. He's my tattoo guy for life!
Appreciate you taking the time to rate your last visit with us, Lauren! Hope to have you back again soon. -Atomic
Fantastic experience: I don’t normally write reviews but I really just want to give an artist here some props. Collie is a beast. He’s extremely talented and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my tat before I left. I felt super comfortable with him before he even started tatting me. He’s really knowledgeable and confident in his work. He’s truly an artist. Will definitely work with him again. Thank you again Collie!
Devan, thank you for leaving such a kind review! We’re glad to hear that you had an awesome experience with Collie. We’ll be sure to relay your message to him, he will be thrilled. Come back soon!

Fantastic experience: Danoski help my sister and I turn or tattoo dream into a reality, super realistic, adding such depth and character to a 2-d image. His shading technique is amazing and was very considerate about the level of discomfort of getting a tattoo and waiting till you feel up to continue. Next time I come to Austin I'm gonna schedule another tattoo with him.
Matthew, we're glad to hear that Danoski was able to provide you with the 5-star experience we're known for! We will be sure to share your kind review with him. He'll be thrilled to know you were impressed with his work! We're looking forward to having you back! -Atomic

Mimi, we’re glad to hear that we were able to give you and your niece an awesome experience! We’re looking forward to having the both of you back soon! -Atomic
Negative experience: I went in last night (friday) and asked if i can get a tattoo behind my ear and the girl at the front was really nice and said sure. She started asking every single tattoo artist that was there if they would tattoo me (they were not busy at all may i add) and every single one of them said they didnt want to tattoo me...with no reason why they wouldnt...we left. The girl told me to go 2 another location of theirs and sumone will do it there. I chose not to go cause i thought that was unproffesional and rude. Try other tattoo parlors and dont waste your time at Atomic Tattoo
Belinda, we’re sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us. Although you deserved clarity, we can assure you that our artists did not have any ill intentions behind their actions. Our counter staff should’ve explained that some artists prefer to not tattoo difficult placements such as behind the ear. We pride ourselves in having an artist for everyone, it sometimes just takes a little searching to find the right one. We hope you’ll give us a chance to make it right! -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Shank did my tattoo. She was friendly and professional. She also made me laugh and held a conversation to take my mind off the tattoo. Shank was pretty fast . I like my tattoo alot. I'm coming back for another one
Donna, it's always great when you have a tattoo artist that makes you laugh and feel comfortable. Glad to hear that Shank did that for you. We'll see you around next time. -Atomic
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo done here as a walk-in. This is a good two months after it was done and I absolutely love it!!!!!! Danoski was my tattoo artist and I’m definitely going back!!!
