My husband and I were in ATL for our 2 year wedding anniversary and we wanted to get a tattoo. Now this tattoo is a symbol of infertility, so its very meaningful to us considering weve been struggling for years. So the artist, the place & the work was very important to us. My mom actually use to own a tattoo shop where we live so I know the things to look for. From the instant we walked in, I knew it was the right place. 1.) The parking lot was full. Means they do good work. 2.) I had already looked at the Google reviews, Facebook etc and they had a pretty good rating. 3.) The shop was clean and the music was laid back. It wasnt music with every cuss word known to man kind playing. 4.) The staff was very friendly. Even though the gentlemen that was taking ids etc was very busy, he was prompt and got to us in no time. 5.) It only took about 10 minutes from the time that we walked in the door to having the stencils places. 6.) CON**** the price. The price was a little high. However, maybe thats normal for ATL. Im not sure. We were charged $100 more then what we were quoted back home. But I felt confident in our artist, so clearly we proceeded. 7.) The artist did work with us on price. We told him our price range and told him to make it work for us and he did. 8.) DANIEL!!!! our artist was absolutely amazing. In every way! He was nice, friendly, intelligent, helpful, and very talkative. Even though it wasnt our first tattoo, he walked us through every step of the way and used his creative ways to make our tattoos more then we expected. He doesnt work there full time, he was just in from Texas, which is where he lives. (I wish he lived closer to us, because he would be my permanent artist). He made sure we were comfortable and thats what I loved about hi.. 9.) After he was finish, he throuougly looked over both of our tattoos to make sure he was okay with us walking out of the door with a tattoo that he did. And of course, they were both perfect. 10.) Would I recommend this shop?!?! Without a doubt, to anyone, anywhere! I loved our experience from start to finish! **** the pictures that I am posting are right after we took off the "bandages" so still bloody etc. The afterwards look of it are awesome. Heck, Ill post a few afterwards too!! Thanks guys for the awesome service.

Eh, I got the Hylian Crest from Legend of Zelda several years ago on my wrist, one of my first real tats. I was young and stupid and worked across the street so it seemed accessible. I dont remember it being particularly welcoming, buts thats most shops You walk in and theres the cliche counter and mounts of every tattoo ever that most common people want or some variation. Once the artist had the stencil he placed it in the first place on my wrist which I now know was far too low to begin a wrist tattoo. I can tell where he stopped the needle every time and have had it touched up about 3 times from non-significant shops that have all told me the same thing- damn things too far down. I love the tat its not hideous or outwardly unsightly but its on my wrist and I can see the start and stop lines and dots and the uneven lines. Once i got it touched up it was ok but like I said its still too far down on my wrist. I have another wrist tattoo on the other arm and its in the appropriate position, its just obvious. The artist ignored me the whole time and talked to his friend. I didnt care. I tried making small talk and it proved to get me nowhere so I gave up anyway and let him talk to his rasta friend. I wouldnt recommend. Its got the location, right in midtown so they get customers im sure, however at the time I didnt really see any artists that were of any significance. especially not to make such a rookie mistake as misplacing the tat and the weird disconnect as he ignored me for about an hour while tattooing my wrist. Alone, mind you. I went alone. Theres better out there. Instead of researching establishments, go rogue and search for actual artists. Youll fare better than some rando tat shop next to a liquor store, historic whorehouse hotel and a restaurant that frequently opens and closes... OH! And next to murder kroger. Go for it. You get what you pay for. Be assertive, be confident, and dont be afraid to voice your opinion. It is, after all, YOUR body art.

Me and my husband stopped by because he wanted a tattoo for his birthday and heard good things from a friend of ours. Prior to stopping in, my husband emailed a few ideas and was told "no problem, come on in and we will draw it up." He spoke with a nice girl at the desk who informed him the artist Tad was available and brought him out to discuss a tattoo. Immediately, Tad appeared annoyed and dismissive like his time was being wasted. My husband informed him hes a graphic designer and because he always designs for others, he wanted someone to design for him. Tad basically refused to draw anything and said it would be a waste of time to go back and forth when he is an artist and can do it himself. Tad told him to come back after he figures out what he really wants, even though he already knew, which is why he sent pictures prior to the visit. He said the owner would be in later and he could maybe do it instead if we came back. My husband also mentioned hes new to the whole tattoo thing and Tads agitated response was "yeah, I caught that". He was dismissive, cold, and absent from his job. We went somewhere else immediately after that visit and met very willing artists who care about customers. We will be back there soon for more. Dont go to Liberty Tattoo and definitely dont see Tad. Going to them was a waste of time and they need better customer service.

I searched around for months looking for the best tattoo shop in Atlanta. I found Liberty Ink online through reviews. After looking at the website and going in to the shop, I decided that I wanted Ben Thomas to be my tattoo artist. The first sign that I wasnt going to have a good experience should have been how rude Ben came across. He wasnt the nicest guy but I decided to proceed anyway. He was suppose to be one of the best in town. Before I left the shop, I set up an appointment for a week from that date. I placed a $50 deposit and Ben told me that he would sketch an idea for me. Almost a week went by and I still havent heard from Ben. He took my deposit and never produced a sketch. He contacted me the day before telling me that he had issues with his phone. At this point I wanted my money back. I made it clear to him that I would be leaving Atlanta for months and I needed to get it done before I left. I contacted him several times and the appoint was the following day. I finally got a text back but I hadnt seen the sketch. He was rude when I asked for my money back and he told me that I paid for the time not whether or not he produced a sketch. He was extremely unprofessional and he robbed me of $50. I will never go back to Liberty tattoo.
