One of the coolest oddity shops Ive been in, loads of great items to buy and loads more to explore. Friendly and helpful staff, would definitely recommend for fans of taxidermy and oddities. Me and my partner ended up buying a few skulls, stickers and two mystery tubs that actually had cool gifts in them.

Dark and Deviant is an oddities shop in a tattoo parlor. Lots of weird and interesting things to look at and fuel your nightmares. I liked it.

This is by far one of the coolest places I’ve ever been, the owner was amazing and the entire staff was so beyond friendly, everyone was very informative! If you genuinely are interested in oddities and buying them seriously, this is most definitely THE place to go! I’m love with the place but the staff made it outstanding!!!! They had an awesome collection and amazing items, I wanted to spend every penny I had and didn’t have at this shop!

Im not usually one to leave reviews unless it was an extraordinarily bad time but this time is different. This shop is gorgeous and their collection is amazing! The staff were all super friendly, especially Justyn. He said he wasnt really supposed to be in at the time but had stopped by and he offered to take us back to see his collection which was gorgeous as well! He has a wide variety of pieces that I felt were well priced and all were in beautiful condition. This place was absolutely worth stopping by on my trip! So excited to add my first human pieces to my collection! 💀🖤

Just got my 2nd tattoo there!Blamm was great! I was tagging along with a friend and after a quick chat, I decided to get a tattoo last minute. Gave a round about on what I wanted and he was able to whip something up that reflected exactly what I wanted. Surprisingly accurate because I talk too much and never get to the point. Thank you and we will be back!*Id post the tattoo but its still bandaged up at the moment*

*Dark and Deviant Oddities* Great experience! The owner has an excellent selection of oddities and is very friendly and accommodating! Ive gotten a few items from shows, but finally decided to see the shop around my bday! The tattoo staff was also very nice and personable! I got myself a good deal on beautiful fox bat skull!

Great spot. Staff is always helpful and they have great pricing for the quality and rarity of their items, esp for this area. Very good selection of funerary instruments and memorabilia as well (mortuary student here lol). I bought this doll the last time I went in, and my cat seems to enjoy it more than anyone else in my house lol. Thanks!!

If you love NOT the norm and love wet specimens, old medical tools, bones, skulls and just everything cool like that, then this is THE place to go. I was in heaven! I WILL be going back and adding to my collection!

This place blew me away. The displays are immaculate and very well thought out. You can tell a ton of hard work was put into this. Worth the trip to check out especially if your looking for a new piece to your collection. Ample parking too!

We road tripped out from Atlanta Georgia yesterday to visit Dark and Deviant Oddities, so worth it! The staff was amazingly friendly, the oddities were indeed dark and deviant, a great time was had by all! Lots of fun little and big spooky things to look at, and most were available for purchase. We left with our arms full of creepy treasures, mounted insects, real x-ray films, posters! And don’t miss the oddities vending machine! I got an alligator foot from it :) Would come back again!

Amazing place seriously beautiful inside and the best customer service Ive ever received.This Trevor douche who left a review needs to change his name to Karen because more than one business has blocked him and he seems like a tool... Dont trust Trevor.

Love this oddities store! No they aren’t grandmas China (thank goodness), so if you’re not into the strange and unusual this may not be your spot. If you’re a cool weirdo than go check this out! Best and most ethical oddities shop around!

1⭐ only cause place was cool looking. Walking in it was dark, confusing because no attendant at door. Only cabinet at entrance was curio cabinet with cracked skull? Waiting 10 mins, nobody came. Its not like you can wonder thru cause its also a tatoo parlor and you cannot have patrons walking in on tatoos being applied(medical rules apply). We came prepared to purchase and be amazed. Tatoo parlor probably lost a good $2500 in ink work cause 5 adults wanted ink too.Totally disappointed. Plus theres another business inside these 2?? Didnt know what the hell was going on,again...no attendant. Totally disappointed.
