Fat Kat Tattoo

This was my first and only half sleeve Ive had done. Mike did an awesome job. Im very satisfied with the overall tattoo and the price wasnt bad at all! I constantly get compliments on this tattoo. I get stopped everywhere and I always tell everyone to go see Mike at fatkat. The line work is clean and the ink didnt fade. Highly recommend this shop. I also had piercings done here. Very clean and professional. Definitely coming back again to get more work done.

I got great math logic symbols tattooed on me behind each ear that took a WHOLE 3 minutes and it was a spectacular experience. Funny guy. Glad I was able to make it through with out a break. Definitely going to come back.

My girlfriend got a cover-up from mike! This is not the first time she’s been here after wonderful work from him! we love his work & highly recommend him to anyone!!

I have gotten all 5 of my tattoos done here. Mike has done all of them with great detail, and they all healed amazing. As someone who is normally afraid of needles, the experience was comfortable, and enjoyable. I always leave the shop happy. Scheduling my next appointment soon! highly recommend.

Very clean Shop. Mike did a fantastic job on my daughter’s tattoo. He did the exact replica of what she showed him right down to the handwriting! This tattoo has a very special meaning and it’s perfect! We highly recommend FatKat Tattoo and Mike, the tattoo artist!

Ive gotten all my tattoos here. They have a great shop with very good artists. Very clean and sanitized. Artists are very nice and friendly. If you have never gotten a tattoo, I suggest fatkat tattoos. You wont regret it. Looking for a new tattoo artist in or around the Asheboro, North Carolina. Message me with any referrals please and thank you.

My first tattoo was done by Mike he also did my half sleeve, and I have no regrets. Beautiful art work and straight lines. Get many compliments on my tattoos and they still look fresh! Got my industrial and belly pierced here as well. They healed very nicely. And it was a quick experience. Wouldnt recommend anywhere else, dont hesitate & get your tattoos done by mike!

I recently had a piercing done at fat cat tattoo. It was a very good experience. The studio is impeccably clean. Junior did the piercing. He explained everything that was happening. He also informed me about after piercing care.

Got the worst tattoo of my life from this shop. Junior was very rude and unprofessional. He drew out a tattoo for my finger, which I felt was too big so I had asked him to shrink it down multiple times. He then gave me an attitude telling me that he wasnt going to keep resizing it and that it is what it is. I didnt want to argue with the guy, considering hes going to be drawing something on my body that will be there for the rest of my life, so I let it be and trusted his professional opinion. Hands down the WORST tattoo Ive ever seen. He also pushed into my skin too hard with the needle so I have a huge bubble right on my finger. I had to go back the next day to get it touched up and it still looks horrible. Never again.

Nate the owner great guy and better sense of humor he did a memorial paw print on me my wife and daughter of our beloved Brody came out great highly recommend.

Saw Junior and got 3 Tattoos one for me two for my Wife all 3 came out utterly perfect exactly as we wanted, so we went back for more, Junior is awesome!!!

Went in with two other people last Sunday . We had gotten little tattoos .. as I’m getting my tattoo done I was asking my tattoo artist if my tattoo was centered right or if she think it would look better somewhere else . Only because I wasn’t too sure about the spot . All she kept saying was she really couldn’t tell me what to do . Basically just didn’t care . Didn’t like the experience. Tattoo artists should be able to give their client AT LEAST some advice on a tattoo if the person feel as though it’s not centered right or even some clarification . I didn’t have a great experience at all & I will not be returning back !

Went to get a tattoo on a whim lol spoke to junior he did an amazing job! He was fun and made it easy plus his hand work is remarkable each bead and line is perfect!! Plus they have great prices 😀

I have a lot of tattoos from different artists and shops over the years, I have to say Junior nailed it. He has a gentle hand and made this the best experience out of all of them. I finally found my go to tattoo shop and artist! Thank you Junior, I love it!

I’ve been going to Nate. from fat cat for years now. He’s always done amazing work. Today he did one of the most amazing tattoos, it exceeded my expectations. Nate. is an amazing artist and I cannot say enough about his skills.I know that he went through some hard times but I’ve never gone anywhere else. I know he does great work. When somebody’s down you don’t kick them you reach out an arm and try to help them up. All I can say is that Nate. is back full force putting all of his amazing techniques and skills to great use. Thank you so much Nate. I will be back

I have been going to this place for a while and although Mitch/Mike is excellent, Nate gave me the worst feedback on my piercings ever. My piercings were $100 credit card and I left a $50 cash tip. I called to tell him they got infected and they don’t have an answering machine. I called again for him to say there is nothing he can do for me. I said can I get something back like either the tip or the price I paid since it’s only a week that I had them. He said no and I’m not going to argue with you back and forth. He said there’s no proof that I gave him a $50 tip. That’s horrible coming from a business owner. I have sent people to his place. I got 5 Tatts from there, I sent my husband and he got 1, I sent my cousin and she got 4. He could have done something for me. Let me know if I should go back to see Mitch/Mike, Nate’s employee. Again Mitch is awesome.

Junior assisted my wife with getting a 3 heart tattoo on her wrist. He explained the process and was great to deal with. Fair price for the work performed. Plan on going back for my own.

I went to this shop in search of an artist and to understand the tattoo process since it was my first one. I felt rushed through it even when communicating my thoughts and trying to express how I envisioned my design. I trusted him until I saw the final sketch I was going for a spooky demonic eagle on my arm and it just seemed like it was a cartoon sketch that was drawn up. After an old friend did a sleeve there and wasn’t pleased as well as my barber distinctively telling me not to go, I listened and found a better shop for the same price. Nice guy at heart need better communication with the clientele.

Place has always been a class act. They have an artist for everyone. I had Nate, whose been there forever, and am super pleased with the work, and also the banter. Highly recommend!

My first experience at Fat Kat was a year ago when I got my tongue pierced. The procedure was quick and practically painless! I was pretty impressed with how nicely I healed and decided to go back today with my mother-in-law to get our navels re-pierced. Again, Nate was gentle and quick. I barely felt a thing! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a piercing from an experienced piercer with a good hand. The shop is also very nice and clean.

Junior is a wonderful Tattoo Artist. He was funny. He made you feel welcome and comfortable. The place is very clean and sanitary. Junior made sure you were comfortable throughout the whole tattoo process. Planning on going back for another tattoo in a couple months.

Had a great experience when I got my first tattoo back there in October! Michele is an excellent artist and a genuinely nice person. I explained that I was a little nervous and she kept me calm the whole time by chatting with me about music and family and other stuff, and before I knew it I was done! Now Ive got a beautiful custom-designed piece that I couldnt be prouder of. I cant wait to go back for my next tattoo soon!

I went it the morning of my appointment with Anthony, and I was told he got in a car accident and broke his wrist! Mike made me an appointment with Nate, the OWNER of the shop, the next day. The tattoo is horrible! Its right on my forearm too! His lines arent straight at all, and his shading is terrible. He scarred my whole arm and nothing is even. (It was supposed to be a symmetrical tattoo). I should have stopped him as soon as he put on the stencil (it was off centered, but I was too scared to say anything because he was an a**hole). This was my first tattoo and I am very disappointed. The shop, however, has many great artists! If you go to this shop, I think its safe to say that any artist other than Nate will give you a wonderful tattoo.

My first time getting a tattoo was at Fat Kat. The owner Nate is hysterical and he made us feel welcomed and enjoyed. My artist was Karen and she was perfect. In fact, I feel as if my tattoo looked better than the actual image I walked in with. So far everyone I showed my tattoo to loved it and said who ever the artist was is awesome.

I went to Fat Kat yesterday June 10, 2015 to get my tongue pierced. And it was quick ad easy. Nate was the one who pierced he was very careful and quick and he explained the aftercare. Fat Kat is a clean shop. My best friend got her tattoo there and it came out nice and was cheap. I like it there and Im going there to get my tattoos

My wife and I have had 2 pieces of work done each at Fat Kat, and I have to say we have always been happy with the work. Definitely will be going back, as to refer anyone who wants a tat to go to Fat Kat Tattoo. Tattoos below were completed by Nate.

The place looks scary. I was alone for pierce my nose. But the person who is a middle aged man pierced my nose with needles. I was worried because the place wasn’t clean enough. But everything went so better than others who recently pierced nose. He doesn’t offer any medicine for the hole to heel. I just washed my nose with warm water and wiped with clean cloth. Then just put some antibiotics ointment. The hole looks good.They charged 58 bucks for nose piercing. Not bad at all.

Love these guys. Got a tat there today. First one in 16 years. Junior did an excellent job and was very chill. Nate was there, too! Great dudes. Skull, Snake and Eagle! Love it.

I’ve had 5 tattoos and my tongue pierced here. Mike is great, and really nice guy. Will definitely keep going here for all my art. Clean and comfortable environment.

Pierced the wrong spot on my ear. I was getting my rook pierced. He pierced my daith. I had to call back and insist he pierce my rook. I don’t know how a tattoo shop that also specializes in piercings doesn’t know where it is or wouldn’t at least ask where to pierce. I would say more, if I remembered his name - but I don’t want to make anyone else look bad.

Nate is a good tattoo guy he does very well his job . He is a great tattoo guy but not an artist in tattoing if you see what i mean like you are not going to get something that is visually out o this world with deep color variation .

Nate is horrible. Let your child do a tattoo it will be better. Went for one sitting. He literally smokes every 10 min. His work area was 63 degrees and refused to turn up heat. Tattoo was horrible. Had to go elsewhere for 8 hrs of sitting to correct it. The man has demons and all his good artists left.

I got my Monroe done there and i was overcharged. i paid 80 bucks, the Piercer was rude didnt tell me how to clean it. i said where i wanted my marking he told me thats not where Monroes were, but he was going to put it so far up it would of looked dumb. not only that he didnt use a big enough bar it got stuck in my mouth and i had to go to tattoo Tony to pry it out with a tool and he put in a different bar for me. never go There, save your money. the shop was pretty though only good thing about that place

Absolutely love this place. Its clean and well maintained. The tattoo artist Nate is friendly and professional. I will definitely get my tattoos from this place again. Thank you for the amazing work.

Called them on Thursday evening, spoke to Nate . Explained what I wanted was told no problem Ill do a quick draft up and send it you, if you like it you can be in the chair on sunday. Friday evening had not heard from him called spoked to him and was told Im just finishing up a tattoo and your next you will have it shortly. Never heard from him again, never got the draft and here it is sunday and Im not in the chair lol. Not reliable!!!!

Good tattoo artist good staff. The artist was patient and helpful when I was indecisive of what I actually wanted. With his help I got a great tattoo. I’ll be back when I want more.

JR professional nice and accurate

Very clean, affordable, Junior was amazing and did a wonderful job! I would recommend. My next tattoo appt is already scheduled. Definitely a clean, professional, and great place!

Came in last st paddy’s day to Speak off the street about setting up an appointment, was ignored for a good 10 minutes before anyone realized I was there.My daughter asked for a tissue, that took another ten minutes.After speaking up more than once and realizing no one was going to come talk to me about, anything. I left. Maybe they were busy that day. Place looks way better in the photos posted, maybe the renovated.

DO NOT GO HERE! $350 for a small black and white tattoo. You can find much better work for much more reasonable. I don’t know how these people stay in business charging these prices.

My first piercing and they were great. I love my piercing, I will be back. Their clean, friendly and I didnt have any problems with staff. Highly recommend.

Wanted to get my nose pierced again, ive had a nose ring for 5 years prior. came to this place, and nate pierced my nose. it was pierced in a whole new spot. i got the hoop ring, and it was ridiculously huge. wasnt offered to make the hoop ring tighter on my nose. was just told to leave it alone and let it heal. i get that, but now i look dumb and everyone else has been telling me the same. thanks a lot for caring about my nose ring that i paid 50 bucks for.

I went last year to get a whole forearm cover-up from Nate. WOW, what a mistake!!!!! I have already begun spending thousands of dollars (which I dont even have!) to have it removed by laser, simply because it is an ugly, misshapen, and one dimensional tattoo that makes my heart sink every time I look at it. He plastered on a design that was not custom to my tattoos that were already there (I thought it was), and it came out TERRIBLE! I have since applied to be on Spikes Tattoo Nightmares and was rejected because they said it was un-fixable. Similarly, all the shops I go to for other tattoos said it is a horrendous job and that I should get my money back.So I went to try and get my money back and he said Nah, I can fix that as he was tattooing another client and did not even get up to look at it. Oh yeah, so the best people in the cover-up business couldnt do it, but you can? What a joke. Never go to this place. Take the extra 25 minute drive down to Tattooville or Electric Tattoo. Waste of time, money, ink, and body space. I am constantly in pain every time I look at it, as it was supposed to be a tattoo that symbolized over-coming a lot of struggles. Now it just becomes one itself.

Very clean and professional. Nate was awesome, he drew me up a custom piece, and it came out amazing!!!!! It was a really good tattoo experience. Go here!!!

I think its ok. mine was a small one..custom designed. was hoping to get a colorful one...but the finish was kinda dull. not really happy bout the price and the work. mine was done around 35-40 minutes..but was charged $150. was not given much explanation on the process. felt kinda blind folded for a first timer.

Took my 16 year old to get her navel pierced, Nate was professional and the process was very quick and virtually painless, I have a happy teen!

Gifted by getting Junior for my first tattoo. He is patient, friendly and a true artist. I would not trade him for the world. TRY him, youll love him.

Nate ROCKS. He did my tattoo for me and I couldnt be any happier with the result. Super kind, very attentive, and a wonderful guy!

The staff was very accommodating, they are very careful of cleanliness, and Junior (my tattoo artist) did exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back!

This place is rad ! If you are thinking of getting a tattoo and you are reading these reviews DO IT you will be happy Nate is awesome the shop is awesome

Legit from cali came all the way out here for a tattoo and love it!!! nate was the absolute best, patient, kind, creative overall best experience in getting a tattoo:):):):).

Very nice place.. junior has done a wonderful piece of work...loved the tattoo.fully recommend the place for tattoos

The owner is downright disgusting and misogynistic. Do not support this guy.

I got a small tattoo on my finger and he literally drew the stencil on my finger it’s terrible it looks like someone drew on my finger with a crayon please don’t waste your money here it’s terrible

Nate was a charm dry since of humor my kind of guy cared took his time came out great

Mike did my tattoo, it came out great. Recommend seeing him if you want a tattoo there.

Great experience.Nate the owner made me feel very comfortable getting my first tattoo.Highly recommend this place.
