Electric Octopus Tattoos & Piercings

My 7 year old wanted her ears pierced. The gentlemen who helped us was super nice and made her feel comfortable. The entire time he was walking her through what he was doing. He did all the right things for her to be confident and brave.I recommend them highly for this alone.

I got my Tattoo here Tuesday and my experience was nothing short of amazing. This was the first shop I’ve been to where there wasn’t a odor of weed in the air and the artists werent sitting in the lobby cursing and disregarding clients. I’m BEYOND satisfied Thank You to Kiera for her professionalism and I cant wait for my next one !!!

I went to get my nose pierced for the 1st time. My experience was great. Robert was quick and efficient. I would definitely go back.

TJ is very much a people person. I would definitely recommend for any tattoos or piercings!

Best of the best in Atlanta period!!!! I came to get my surface tragus done and I’m highly impressed. Robert was so knowledgeable and quick with his skills. This place was clean and no long wait at all. I definitely recommend this location 100% for piercings. I will be coming back for more for sure.

No need for a long review. Just go here to get your ink done. U won’t be disappointed 💉🎨Bobby is the truth to be a lefty☺️

Loved them! The staff especially Bobby was very professional, friendly, and down to earth. He also has a great sense of humor, which made the piercing experience less stressful. Mike was also really cool! I’d recommend them to anyone who wants a tattoo or piercing

Visited this shop to see Bobby, who serviced me for two piercings. Bobby did my VCH & my Christina piercings (HIGHLY difficult piercings), & I could not have chosen a better piercer! Bobby was informative, CLEAN, professional, patient, knowledgeable, & FAST! It’s only been about a week & my piercings have come so far! No soreness, bleeding, tenderness or dissatisfaction at all. Should I want any other piercings, I have found a piercer to service me. Stop by & see Bobby, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Electric Octopus! ❤️

10/10 experience ! Piercings are healing so great & looks sooo great :)

Very helpful and professional. My daughter got a nose piercing from another location about two weeks ago & the ring itself was a little too short (L shaped) to go all the way through the underlying hole after swelling would occur. We went in yesterday and the artist (sorry I forgot his name) knew exactly what to do. He tried pushing it through himself but no luck so he took his fresh utensils out of the pack and just straightened the L shape of the nose ring and it went straight in. Also there was no charge for the service, they were very kind & helpful. Thanks again! 😎

Bobby and Mike are terrific guys. My experience was great. Bobby made sure, I was comfortable and at ease! Mike helped me with my car window, that had nothing to do with his business, he helped anyway.

My daughter had her ears pierced with Bobby who was thorough, knowledgeable, professional, gentle and very good at building trust and rapport with children. I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Where has this place been all my life, Im so glad I got my first tattoos here. Very warm and friendly environment. I really felt valued as a customer, my artist Bobby very professional and encouraging...Ive got the bug so Ill be back for more, maybe a piercing.Would highly recommended this placehighly recommend 👌

Got my nose pierced and my sons ear pierced. It was quick, mostly painless and super easy. Also, better prices than the rest of Riverdale.

Great vibes, very down to earth artists who display a high level of patience, compassion and professionalism! If you like to workout, you even have the option of lifting weights while you wait! Ill definitely be returning to see Kierra. Theyre A1 status at this shop!

I came here to get my naval/belly button pierced, they were so nice and they did a great job considering i have a really shallow belly button but i loved it so much and would totally come back again for a different piercing!

This place was honestly decent and good at tattoos but i got my tongue pierced and he didn’t know what he was doing i had to go get it re done by someone else. i don’t recommend peircings from them.

Update: One thing I wish I had known prior is that nipple piercings can take up to a year to heal. I ended up pregnant shortly after receiving my piercings and had to take them out at after having them for 6 months because I didnt want to jeopardize my breastfeeding journey. I do wish that I had been properly educated on them, because the research I did beforehand was not accurate. Also, upon removal, I came to learn that the jewelry used was not the best. The metal was not right and did not have internal threading. This may have played a part in why there was no healing. It was free jewelry that came with the piercing, so I didnt know to ask. Because of all of this, I dropped my star review from a 5 to a 3. Joining a few piercing groups helped me to gain the knowledge so Ill know what to look for next time.I went in for piercings yesterday and was pretty much in and out. The shop was clean and the staff was very professional. Ill more than likely be returning for tattoos soon. Also, make sure you have cash. They dont take cards.

I received a tat not long ago. The place was clean the staff was down to earth. Professional setting… I didn’t have an appointment so of course I had to wait and be patient. It was well worth the wait. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone from 412 traveling to the A

Friendliest employees I’ve ever met at a tattoo shop. I was well taken care of as a walk in with no appointment. I had no wait and we got right to work on a cover up. The artist are amazing and I can’t think of a single complaint!!

10/10! i just got my tongue pierced today and the piercer was incredibly nice and very reassuring. Most comfortable i have ever been getting a piercing! if i wanted anything else done, this is definitely the place i would go to

Came around 4pm to get tattoos for our anniversary and was my old the wait would be 4mims. Okay, cool. We had time to run to ATM. Waited for hours. I tried to get my husband to leave multiple times but he was set on us getting the tattoos that we came for. Hours went by and still nothing. The tattoo artist Benjay took multiple smoke breaks. He seemed disconnected and confused. When it was finally our turn at 10pm, yes we were still that at 10pm smh, Benjay had forgotten that he printed out our designs already. He station was messy and he was all over the place. We were supposed to get two tattoos each but that didn’t happen and after seeing the first tattoo I had no rebuttal. The tattoo is rushed and messy. The shading is horrible. We will not be back and would not recommend. We only came because my husband suggested we support black owned businesses, which I am all for, but this experience was the worst. My daughter and I came in December and got nose piercing and it seemed like a great place to come back to. Not so much the reality. $100 for this messy tattoo. Smh. Not okay at all. And not to mention he had to go back to my tattoo after finishing my husbands because he forgot to shade the stem of the flower. This was part of our anniversary celebration. Such a waste of a day.

Stopped in last minute today after researching where to get my nose re pierced! I am not a review person but after my experience today it was a must! KJ was so sweet and personable which isnt to common in tattoo shops! Even the boss man made sure to make us feel comfortable! Love how my piercing came out perfect! Thanks again KJ!!!

Please don’t go here!! It’s a hole in the wall and they don’t know what they’re doing. My nose piercing was done with low grade materials the wrong jewelry and the hole didn’t even go all the way through. I called them to explain this to them. They picked up the phone and proceeded to mock my voice and laugh at me. This was supposed to be a piercing for my birthday. Now I have to go somewhere else and get it redone. By an actual professional this time. Oh well I will gladly give someone else my business. Who doesn’t mess up my piercing, while mocking and laughing at their clients.

I went to get a nose piercing for my 13th bday by Bobby he was super friendly and helpful and fun not rude at all

Mario was GREAT. He touched up my hand tattoo. It looked great. His place was clean and his prices were fair. Very professional.

Got my last tattoo here and it was a shoddy job. The artist messed up the semicolon and the color is inconsistent in the letters. Will have to pay someone else to go over the coloring again and it wont be here. The semicolon actually has a dark spot in it thats not supposed to be there. It probably didnt help that the artist was talking on the phone the whole time. Not professional at all. Will not go back and I hope you dont either.

Friendly place but my nose ring came out few days later which hurt and I wasn’t given any after care advice nor products. My smiley piercing is unseen under my lip and small.

This has been the most honest and friendliest friendliest place I have been here in georgia . the owner is awesome and very personable and always checks on the service you receive . my artist is Oscar ive never met a more laid back person who is driven by passion and a love for what he does its a different experience to meet an artist who comes from a real place one of understanding and intellect . especially when you need that conveyed in the artwork you have permantley put onto these canvas called our bodies. Each tattoo tells a story and its about finding the artist to share your story with weather its about overcoming an obstacle or if it is simply something wonderful. In oscar I found that person to share my experience with and to tell my own life story to and the artwork that conveys my story also conveys his understanding of that . I appreciate everything this artist has done and my tattoes show that he gets it and for that I will be forever grateful.

Best place to receive a late night drunken tattoo. Go ahead and turn up with Mike the owner for the one time!! Hes a big ole teddy ruxpin with a beard lol oh and make sure u hit up the red candy machine and soda machine in there!! That candy soothes the anxiety of getting stabbed a million times with a needle lol

Don’t Support! I Live Near This Shop and I Wanted A Tattoo So I Decided To Call To See If I Needed To Book An Appointment (If So I Would Be Okay With That) or Can I Just Walk In At A Time Given. After Saying That They Were Busy They Said If I Wanted To Come Today It Would Be A Wait, An Hour Almost Two Hours. I Agreed To Come In A Little Later, But I Showed Up 30 mins Early And I Was Okay With Waiting. 20 Mins Later After Being Greeted By One Employee A Second Employee Asked If I’ve Been Help and Before I Could Respond He Said It Would Be best To Come Back Tomorrow They’re Busy and He Gave Me His Card and Phone Number. 1st Time Wasted!!!! So Today I Call The Artist and He Says He Has One Name and One Piercing To Do So Give Him 45 mins, So I Suggested to Come At 4pm Which Was About 1 Hour and 30 mins After The Suggested Time. One Arriving To The Shop I Was Then Recognized By The Artist and He States That He Now Has A Person With A Two Hour Piece Ahead of Me, Where Was This Person Mentioned In Our Conversation, Oh My God!!!! 2nd Time Wasted! Appointment or Not You Still Will Not Get Seen, Dang I Really Liked How Clean The Shop Was and The Upkeep Was Worth 5 Stars!!!!! Treat Paying, Patient, Appointment Scheduled Customers Correctly!!!

Shredder did my daughters 1st tattoo. He was patient and really listened to what she wanted the end product to be, which was perfect!!! The owner of the shop was really personable and nice and I will be returning to get my mastetpiece done by Shredder. Glad I chose Electric Octopus as my tatoo go to place.

Got my first tattoo you guys rock!

Called ahead of time told to ask for Ben get there said he had someone ahead of me said another artist would be available in 30mins when he get done inside of asking if we have been helped he take somebody else that walked in the door by this time we have waited an hour when ben gets done with person he says he has another appointment to come in tomorrow after I had waited an hour and a half already they wouldnt get a star if it was up to me

I’ve gotten several tattoos/piercings here over the past few years and the quality has never changed. As well as being an extremely welcoming and clean environment, the talent from the artists here is outstanding!

Sister and I got piercings for our birthdays a few days ago. She got inside lip and I got nose. The piercer was friendly enough but it was a bad sign when my sister asked about diff ring sizes due to fuller lips. He said he only had one. The next day she told me her piercing came out. When she went back to the shop the original piercer (Joseph I think) wasn’t there. The blk guy in the shop gave her a bigger ring and proceeded to entertain his friends. He wouldn’t even put it in or get someone who could. And he tried to charge $10 for the jewelry even though they messed up the piercing. Well now a day later and MY nose piercing falls out. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it or another one bk in bc the piercing didn’t go all the way through my nostril. I’m not going bk to let him play with my nose again. It sucks bc it was actually a cute piercing the few days I had it.

It seems like a good place to get tattoos but not piercings. I didnt get an aftercare sheet or anything for my bellybutton piercing. And it came out crooked and I didnt jump or anything.Update: So the guy who did my piercing didnt take into consideration the swelling, the piercing was too small but I didnt know. A week later I moved the ring and realized that the ball was digging into my skin and I had an infection. I had been cleaning the ring the best I could but there was little space to work with. I couldnt move the ring in and out. So ultimately I had to take the ring out and replace it with a nipple ring that I had. Nipple ring is still currently in it and thinking about letting it heal closed and get it redone...

The owner was incredibly welcoming and took care of our needs. The result was great at a great price, and the establishment has a really fun atmosphere. I highly reccomend it.

Shop very nice and welcoming. Mr Mike very professional and great conversation while getting my tatt and great job on my daughters belly piercing she loves it. Thank you very much... Chad and Selina thanks for the recomdation.

Ok oscar is the man ! Always smiling always welcoming and hands down a bomb ass artist!!!! The work that I have gotten done by him tells a story of me and I like how he gets that and puts it on your skin

My daughters got ear piercings there and both came out great... shop very clean and organized and everybody was very nice... will definitely be going back!

I highly recommend Electric Octopus, Bobby specifically!!! He’s great.

Kee is great for ur tattoo needs! 💪🏾Young lady did excellent on Piercings as well!!!!! Good PPL!!

You should come on down to 8592 GA hwy 85 to the Electric Octopus for all your tattooing and piercing needs. Great artwork, great environment, great times!

Nice place. Cost is reasonable. Will be back.

Very professional, clean, educated. I had a great experience, i had my nipples done and i am extremely happy with the results

They are never consistent and they are not organized. I had an appointment at 1 and no one showed up or answered the phone. I waited for fifteen minutes and still no show Extremely disappointed.

The artist by the name Joker did my first tattoo and he did great. He made sure I was comfortable and made my first experience easy.

I really love this, place Im thankful for the great staff and customer service and quality they deliver, and free touch ups on Sundays, you cant beat that!

Unprofessional on booking times, made an appointment ahead of time 3 days prior with a particular artist, had to wait close to 30 minutes just to get the run around.

Good friendly service. Very clean and smooth experience. I was impressed with the work and the prices were reasonable.

They had a white employee there that really seemed races and did not want to give us the dollar. We actually did not get what we were told for the money that was spent. We were told to come back another day and they finish it.

My friend gotten her 7mo ears pierced went very well he was gentle but quick

Dope shop!! Very kind employees.. and Im goin back to get more tats!!

OLE GIRL W THE DREADS/LOCS DOES GOOD ASL!! and she funny, they are really good, I would recommend

Great place!!! Great folks! Great energy! Went for a piercing for my daughter and laughed the whole time!

This place is nice and all but my septum was done poorly it is placed incorrectly and my nose is really sore.

I went there yesterday to get a nose piercing and not even a day later. IT FALLS OUT. the man who pierced me even put the needle down after he opened it.
