3 Best Tattoo Shops in Athens, GA

I cannot begin to say enough about Darya, Sara, and Pink Goblin in general. I wanted to have a memorial tattoo done on the anniversary of my son’s death, and they went far above and beyond to make it the best experience possible. They are kind and amazing at what they do. My tattoo is beautiful and better than my wildest dreams. I have no doubts I chose the best place and the best artist for this incredibly important piece of my path towards healing.

From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt completely at ease and genuinely welcomed. Trinity James, who did my piercing, was incredibly warm and inviting. Their attention to detail—from helping me choose the perfect jewelry to ensuring precise placement—was exceptional. They made sure I was fully informed and comfortable at every step, demonstrating unmatched professionalism and care. The studio itself is beautiful and impeccably clean, and the front desk staff was both welcoming and impressively knowledgeable. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new piercing and can’t wait to book my next appointment for a tattoo!.

Over the years, I’ve worked with various artist and piercers at Pink Goblin. Everyone is talented and super chill to work with. Quality of work is also top tier. Shout out to Darya, Nic, Jay, and Izzy for being passionate of what they do and kicking ass while doing it! If I could give them 10 stars I would!.

I love coming here!! All of the staff is super sweet here, it is a super clean shop and a friendly environment. Very fast to respond to emails to set up appointments as well! Gabi is my go to artist and she is absolutely amazing, I can’t go out in public anymore without getting stopped by people to ask me who did my tattoos because they love them so much.

I love Pain and Wonder!!! every time I go in, whether getting pierced by Randy, tattooed by Kai or just yapping with Carolyn at the front desk, it feels so much like home. The quality of the services is always top notch, but the care of the staff really puts P&W over the top.

I am newer to the area and looked up APP certified shops near me and Pain and Wonder popped up! Bato was my piercer and he did a fantastic job. He kept me informed throughout the whole piercing process. This place will definitely be my go-to for all my piercing needs. They have a HUGE selection to chose from. So glad I came across this place. I will definitely be back for more piercings.
