Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Old Familiar for little over a year, and the artists are all awesome. I have been very pleased with the work Nick has done with my first Sleeve. Highly recommend anybody that’s looking to get some new ink. Very talented and awesome group of people here.

Fantastic experience: I ended up stranded here in Mobile Alabama and decided to get a tattoo came in talked to AJ talk to CW and these guys took care of me man these guys are awesome dude I'd recommend these people to anybody

Fantastic experience: I am not sure where to start with this review. Nick our artist was the BEST! He made sure there was a form of contact established with me from day 1. He answered all questions in a timely manner and he created custom tattoos for us in a matter of days to create the most special Mardi Gras experience for my BFF that was here from Las Vegas. I can go on and on about this artist.. however all you need to know is: He is Patient He is Kind He is amazing He is creative He can see your described artwork Even when I was kicking like a mule, he made it through my calf piece He enjoyed my King Cake If you stop in and they are booked, I would suggest you book an appointment and come back - remember all good things in life are worth waiting for and ink is forever!!! Thanks again my friend for a top notch - A+ experience!!!! I will be back and I am bringing more cake LOL. Why mess with the rest when you can get ink from the BEST "Old Familiar Tattoo Company" rocks.

Fantastic experience: Hunter is phenomenal! He took a vague idea I had and turned it into what is now my favorite tattoo. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with Hunter today. He was extremely professional as well as a pleasure to sit with. I was a walk in and he was able to bring my idea to life and his execution was remarkable. I cannot recommend this shop enough! 1000/10!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about this tattoo shop! Not only is every artist here talented beyond belief, they are all like one big professional family. Getting a tattoo can make you nervous but this is a place of comfort. I have gotten tattooed by CW, and AJ in the past and yesterday got tattooed by Nick! My experience was calm and cool and I left with yet another treasured piece of art on my skin. Highly recommend them for your next piece :)

Fantastic experience: Hunters the man ! Great vibes and even better people !!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I wandered into this tattoo shop while exploring downtown Mobile, and it immediately caught our attention with all the bold American traditional artwork covering the walls. The shop gives off this perfect blend of old-school tattoo parlor energy with a modern touch, the kind of place that respects tattoo tradition but still feels fresh and current thanks to the new generation of artists working there. As soon as we walked in, every artist greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome. In the tattoo community, there’s kind of a running joke about artists who act annoyed when they actually have to tattoo someone, but I didn’t get any of those vibes here. Everyone was friendly, laid-back, and clearly passionate about their craft. We ended up chatting with an artist named Hunter, who was exceptionally cool and easy to talk to. Even though we didn’t get tattooed that day, we stayed for quite a while talking about tattoo culture, techniques, and our own experiences. The whole shop had great energy, the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Next time we’re in Mobile, this will definitely be our first stop for some new ink.

Fantastic experience: Great first experience and not too expensive! Tattoo artists was really nice as well.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend getting work done here. Great atmosphere, superb professionalism and amazing talent.

Fantastic experience: Loved the experience here. They got me in pretty quick, price was very fair, and I got what I wanted and it looked epic! Not only did I get an epic tattoo, but I found a new spot I'm gonna recommend to everyone who's looking for some ink in Mobtown. Shout to Jack too, a legendary fella whose patience and quality was top of the line!

Fantastic experience: We had the best experience! CW the owner was great! He is honest and trustworthy which is quality’s needed in a tattoo artist! 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service and work! Me and my friends had a very pleasant and comfortable experience and all of the artists are very friendly and accommodating. Keep up the great work guys!

Fantastic experience: Most of my tattoos are from this shop, if I could do it over again all of my tattoos would be done here. I’ve used several artists they have and every single time I’ve had a positive experience. The prices are good, the art is amazing, the owner, as well as the other artists are extremely talented and friendly.

Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo in memory of my sister that passed in April of this year 2025. Jack did an amazing job and made the process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Old Familiar Tattoo in Mobile Alabama. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Me and 6 friends came in spontaneously today after a night shift and had the BEST EXPERIENCE!! Hunter knocked every single one of our tattoos out of the park from dainty matching tattoos to awesome large shaded pieces. We were there from open to close and had a great time with fun conversation. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Very cool down to earth guys. Welcomed my group to the back and we hung out all day and got tattooed. Easy going fun group to be around.

Fantastic experience: CW IS THAT GUY!!! He is so knowledgeable and professional. I have never felt more comfortable in a tattoo shop. And on top of everything my tattoo looks phenomenal! I will be recommending him to everyone I know!

Fantastic experience: Nick was absolutely amazing from start to finish on my new tattoo. There were no uncomfortable moments during the entire process and that speaks volumes if you don’t have a high pain tolerance. When I brought Nick the picture of what I wanted, he had great ideas of what I could do to make it “mine.” What he did made it even better than what I brought. Nick made the experience lively and fun. I will be visiting him again soon to add more to what I got today. If you are on the fence, take the leap and go see Nick.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience! Got mine done by Nick and he was fantastic! Can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I walked in after doing our online research for highly rated tattoo shops on Mobile, and also seeking word of mouth referrals from locals. We met with Hunter, who was able to get us in for our tradition of tattoos from our vacations spots. The shop was immaculate, and Nick and Hunter were both very friendly and great conversation was had by all! Highly recommend Old Familiar, and if we are ever in need of another tattoo in Mobile, this is the shop we will come to!

Fantastic experience: Hunter was very thorough and did an amazing job on my tattoo. I will definitely go back to him again.

Fantastic experience: AJ did a really great job on my tattoo. The shop was very clean and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend this shop.

Fantastic experience: I came to these guys in a LARGE group for a memorial tattoo for our friend. We contacted them Saturday morning and they had us in Sunday afternoon and did a unique version of a shared tattoo for each of us. They were kind and made space for our group and the grief we were all going through. It was a great experience and I'll be back

Had a great time getting tattooed and the piece came out amazingly. If you are looking for anything but especially American Tradition this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Walked in on a whim and left so content! Anna was simply the best - immediate service, gave me time to look at what I wanted, and set me up in her chair shortly after. Even made a flash tat fine-lined to match my others with the best attitude. The whole shop is great!

Fantastic experience: Anna did an amazing job on my tattoo! It was my first one and she did an excellent job of helping pick the right location and style so that it will age well. I'm so happy with it!

Even spoke with him about him possibly doing a cover up for me in the future. Everybody was super nice and easy to talk to! My SIL and I definitely can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: I got tattooed by Anna tonight for Friday the 13th, and chose her Furby that says "violence" under it and absolutely love it. I've never felt more welcomed, and felt more comfortable at a tattoo shop like I had tonight. There was a bit of a wait, but that was expected because it was Friday the 13th and almost every place is doing flash tattoos tonight. But Anna was super duper sweet, checked on me a good bit to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable and walked me through everything she did. I have a few tattoos but it still makes me nervous due to my fear of needles. (I know, weird to have and still get multiple tattoos lol) but anywho, she was AWESOME 10/10 would recommend and will DEFINITELY be going back!!

Fantastic experience: HERE. GO HERE! AMAZING!! I can’t say enough good things. We travel to different states and get a souvenir tattoo when we go.. This was literally the best experience we’ve had. We were walk ins and luckily were able to get in. Anna did my tattoo and she did not disappoint! I was a little nervous about pain level of placement but she talked me through it and was so fast! She designed it to fit with my existing tattoos. I WISH we lived closer we’d make this our regular shop! Thank you Anna and CW! It was a perfect experience.

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town as a walk-in CW got me in right away and gave me one of my favorite tattoos and was super quick perfect experience

Fantastic experience: I’ve only ever been tattooed by one person, so I was a bit nervous going to a different shop. All my nerves dissolved away when I walked in. I was greeted by *smiling* helpful employees & amazing decor. The general vibe is very warm & welcoming. I chose an amazing original flash design from William. He is super talented & puts you at ease immediately. You are in good hands at Old Familiar. They take great care of you, I highly recommend any of the artists there & can’t wait to go back for another!

Fantastic experience: If you ever want a tattoo this is the place to go! From start to finish they were kind and very professional. Will listened to me and DELIVERED! Very clean and neat. Will be coming back!

Fantastic experience: My first experience at Old Familiar was phenomenal! And yes, I did say “first experience” bc I will be returning! AJ was the artist I used and I could not be happier with his design he created for me and the beautiful job he did. The detail is my favorite thing about my tattoo. And beyond all that, he was so easy to talk to, which made the experience even better. As a matter of fact, every staff member there joined in the conversation which made for a fun and inviting experience. 10/10!!!

Fantastic experience: I had will for my fine-line tat and he was amazing! Very welcoming and made sure I was good the whole time! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: When searching for a tattoo shop we got a recommendation from a good friend for Old Familiar. Mistakenly showing up at 12:40 when the shop opens at 1:00 Nick and Will welcomed us readily. Nick created a beautiful dragonfly tattoo for my dear friend, Cindy. Will tattooed the sweetest heart for me. These two great artists made our experience. Perfect. We will be visiting again in the near future. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo today, and had William. He was recommended to me by a friend and truly one of the most chillest/nicest people you’ll ever meet. The overall crew was incredible and very fast service for a walk-in customer. I will be returning for another in the near future! Please check them out if you’re ever in need of tattoo art within the Mobile area.

Fantastic experience: This place was Awesome! And so was Will! I literally walked in with no appt and he assisted me and advised he could do my tattoo immediately. He was very nice and professional! He stopped several times to check on me and advised me from the get go that it may hurt due to where I got it! I definitely recommend him and Old Familiar!

Fantastic experience: me and my cousin went and got matching dragonfly’s done by anna and they are flawless! She was super sweet and caring and was quick to accommodate to our every need. Super great experience we will be coming back :)

Fantastic experience: Was tattooed by Anna she's extremely talented and explained everything. Very friendly and personable.

Fantastic experience: I just took my nine-year-old to get a piercing from Tori at this business, and it was the most professional, kind, immaculate service I could ever hope for. Cannot complement it enough.

Fantastic experience: They are amazing as always Anna was so sweet and helped me come to a perfect decision and Will did an amazing job on my tattoo! He talked me all the way through the whole process. He is super friendly and so sweet! I had an awesome experience as always! Everyone in there are awesome artist! Def will be going back for more!

Fantastic experience: If you want a clean environment, friendly service, a all around good tattoos this is the only place in Mobile that you need to visit. They do it all and they do it all well. Knowledgeable and talented I won’t go anywhere else in south Alabama for a tattoo. I’ve been visiting this shop and CW specifically for over 2 years now (full sleeve and working on my leg now) and he does fantastic tattoos. Thankful for these guys (and ladies) who’ve set up shop in Mobile. Truly a treasure to the community and the local art community as well. And if you need a piercing you won’t find anyone better than Tori and Mary or a better selection of jewelry in Mobile. They’re really a treasure and a joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Great shop, friendly people ,love their art collection! Rachael is the sweetest and did a beautiful job on my cover-up!

Fantastic experience: Anna is a GOAT. Perfect line work, great conversation, and just an all around cool person. I will for SURE be back.

Fantastic experience: From the moment, I hit the door to the moment I was done and leaving, I was engaged and acknowledged. Anna tattooed me and I am very pleased with my experience with this shop. Definitely a repeat visit.

Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo and my artist, Will was super nice and fun to talk to. Everyone in the shop was nice and welcoming, and not only that, the final product of the tattoo was exactly what I wanted.

Fantastic experience: Rachael is the best! I know I can always come to her with my tattoo ideas and she always draws something up for me that absolutely knocks it out of the park!

Fantastic experience: William is really good. Super nice and knows what he’s doing. Always happy with my tattoos from him. I get so many compliments.
