Services
Wash your hands and use your hand to gently clean your tattoo. Use mild soap (dove, dial or equivalent) and lukewarm water to gently clean off any dried blood and excess ink. On the third day begin using lotion (Lubriderm lotion works very well) as needed to keep your tattoo moist. That means as few as three but as much as 10 times a day.
SALINE rinse as needed while healing. For certain piercings it may be easier to apply using clean gauze saturated with saline solution. Dr. Bronners tea tree castille soap is recommended, gently lather around the piercing and rinse as needed. Avoid using harsh soaps, or soaps with dyes or fragrances.

Got my septum pierced in May 2021. It has healed so good! She was so nice, so professional I’ve recommended her to all my friends. Can’t wait to come back.

Got an ear piercing here in the past and came back for a tattoo, and both were great experiences! Candi is super knowledgable and has great customer service skills. It is super easy to make an appointment and I was in and out very quick. Highly recommend!

Candi is amazing! My boyfriend & I both went to her - he got a tattoo and I got a piercing done by her. She knows what she’s doing and it’s very straightforward and honest. I loved how she helped me through the painful process of getting my nips pierced and I’m so happy I found this place!
She even helped me with an infected piercing I had on my ear. Great jewelry selection as well which is always a plus. Can’t wait to come back to get my next tattoo ☺️

Just wanted to say thanks so much to the owner Candi! She is a life saver :)! Giving an update on all my piercings. I've received a total of 7 piercings from this business (several piercings on the ears and a naval piercing) including jewelry changes on other body piercings. The owner has made the process smoothly for me and I feel like I'm always in good hands because of her experiences and helpful advice. All have healed with no issues at all after following her instructions on after care. Can't wait to get more piercings and hopefully a new tattoo in the future.

I have multiple large tattoos and this has been my best experience by far. Candi was so awesome and listened to every request I had and accommodated wonderfully. She even has the integrity to admit when something won’t work or might not look quite right. Her technique was amazing and most of the tattoo felt painless. I will be going back to her to get my other tattoos fixed that other artists messed up cause I know she can make them right. 10/10 perfect experience and I will be returning soon.

Candi is a talented artist! She did an amazing piece of work for me. She took the picture I had and made the phoenix her own. It is gorgeous. I could not be happier with the whole experience. The shop is clean and professional. From start to finish, the whole process is efficient - everything via email, paying deposit and scheduling appointment. I will be back soon; she already has a pic of my next tattoo!!

I was just here today, Candi and her family run a great little shop.
Candi keeps it real, if you don’t appreciate that then it might not be the best place for you. She’s very to the point and really knowledgeable on her trade. I can’t thank her enough for the wonderful service she’s given me the last month on a few tattoos and I will be going back. A general note, spend time on their website, it lays everything out for you to set up your appointment.

Thank you Candi for a perfect double nostril piercing! I was nervous about getting it done but Candi has such a calming spirit. She made me feel relaxed. I also appreciate that she took the time to make sure what would look symmetrical for my face. This was by far the best piercing experience I’ve had and definitely thinking about booking for another piercing. All the information is stated clearly on the site, so that made it easy to know what to expect and how to prepare. Lastly, the shop is clean, and has beautiful artwork everywhere, it’s definitely a welcoming environment.

RESPECT! - I don't know how much detail is necessary. I did initially post a emotionally charged review because I could not get what I needed immediately and was afraid that I would have a scar .

They didn't have to acknowledge me or fix an issue caused by me (not properly tightening my new piercing) but, they did. I am grateful. Although though Yelp is apparently sooooo 2000, I still decided to leave a better review because they deserve it.

I absolutely LOVE my piercings that were done by Candi. Came in to get a Labret, Nose and Tongue Piercing, and was greeted warmly and let me tell you Candi is one of the chillest, sweetest people I've met, all the jewelry are soooooo pretty, it may be pricey to you but it's definitely worth it since its great quality. The whole process was done quickly and had some great laughs to distract me

They were the only shop I could find that was still doing nose piercings even with COVID regulations. They handled it well, requiring appointments with non-refundable deposits, and the only people in the shop were me and the piercer. It took literally 15 minutes and it was a FANTASTIC experience. I will definitely be returning for any future piercings.

A little pricey for a piercing and jewelry exchange. Its very clean and the woman who helped me had on new gloves when servicing me. It's also a black-owned business.

I had a great piercing experience with Candi this past weekend.

(some background) I've had this piercing before however the previous piercer at a location in Atlanta, piercing the wrong area of the desired location (too high should've been lower) and.....providing the wrong after care
instructions.... I removed it due to complications.

So, I decided to try again three years later this weekend with Candi at this shop. It's been a few days and my results have been very different in a GREAT way! She was very knowledgeable about after care instructions and her ability to explain

I initially chose this place because it was the cheapest to get a basic lobe piercing between Athens AND Atlanta. It has a pretty good location, on Main St. in Stone Mountain. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a black owned business!!!! The owner pierced me and she was nice in a natural, relaxed sort of way. Would definitely recommend!

Got my nose pierced done and it was quick and easy experience. No parking directly near the shop but there is free parking near it. Wish they had a phone number they actually picked up. As a first time customer I was wondering how long wait times were and it would be nice to call in instead of shooting an email for a quick question.

I encourage you to check notw IG before going to get tatooed. I attempted to converse with notw this evening on IG. After ending the conversation I noticed a few of my comments had been deleted to fit their narrative. I'm not even surprised but what's the reason to delete if you're being honest. Y'all go give them some tattoo business because piercings won't pay the bills. I heard they were Christian people but they are very condescending & they make fun of customers & potential customers. God forbid you're new to large tattoos & ask them for a little reassurance

Was in Atlanta for the weekend and I decided to get my first tattoo. A small cross and heart. Pretty simple, even when I told her I what I wanted she said it would only take like 5 mins. So I go back to get it done and of course she draws it on. I opted to not get the heart filled in. Since it was my first tattoo I was looking away the whole time. After she was done she wrapped it and I was in my way to pay. It was $65 which I thought was pretty high given how simple and small they were. But I paid it and went about my way happy with my new tattoos. Then I took the bandage off and realized first

My wife and I got matching tattoos on our ring fingers, in celebration of our 16th wedding anniversary. Candi did an awesome job from collaboration to application to completion. The establishment is spotless and Candi is extremely knowledgeable about the art of tattooing and piercing. Check it out!

I had previously researched them online after trying to find a place to get my first tattoo and gauge piercing. When I first walked in I was welcomed with kindness and noticed how nicely the place was decorated. I was gonna get the smallest gauge piercing there, but Candi helped me grow a pair and size up to 8g (I think) and it was a fantastic experience, everyone was friendly towards me, and I will most definately be back for my tattoo!!
