It took me a minute to find Duel again. As I am not a regular at getting tattoos, however, when I get them they are a pretty decent size for me and they mean a lot to me. Duel is my go to for this. He has an exceptionally creative mind and I can send him a couple pictures/ideas and he can turn it into art. He is always so patient and kind and I love his energy. I am so glad I know where he is again and I will always follow him. Amazing artist !!

4th tattoo but I didnt have. No clear mission in mind for what I wanted. Knew most of what i wanted but couldnt pull it all together. Then Joe stepped in and it all came out amazing. He walked me through the process and informed me of the different elements of my tattoo and how they would fit together. Great conversation punctual and everything else lined up perfect. Couldnt be happier.

Got my first tattoo with Saje and she did great. It was a very simple design but I wanted to establish a relationship with an artist I could come back to. I will definitely come back to her. I love her style and shes very professional and friendly. Made me very comfortable for my first tattoo.

I got my tattoo done by Duel and he was absolutely amazing. He took his time and was very kind and you can just tell he has a passion for his artwork. I went in with a google image and he took it and created a waaay better peice that was unique. Thank you guys

I have had 4 tattoos done here by Saje and I have loved each one. My latest two were especially wonderful! She is very detail oriented and I keep coming back for her exceptional line work. She is always patient and ensures that I am completely satisfied with the piece before tattooing. She never rushes and always works to make you feel comfortable. Also just a really cool kid! I highly, highly recommend her and this shop

If you need a new piercing, go see Emily! She did an amazing job. Was extremely clean and thorough, and I could not be happier with her work. The space is very unique and holds incredible artworks throughout. Thank you again, Emily!

I researched some of the top shops in Atlanta, and both my girlfriend and myself felt that Thunderbolt Tattoo was the right fit, and they did not disappoint. Everyone was very friendly and really cool. We had Sage as our artist, and could not be happier with her work. In addition to being an amazing artist, she’s super cool. We highly recommend Thunderbolt Tattoo, and will definitely be back for our next ones!

I had a belly peircing I thought had closed up after 12 years and Emily helped me open it back without even having to pierce it again. They are extremely clean and super friendly. If i ever get another tatoo, I am going there. Extremely professional too!

Thank you emily! She has worked on my septum piercing and did lobe piercings on a family member of mine- we both had extremely positive experiences. She was knowledgeable and kind and patient. Totally recommend.

Great place!!! Saje is the bomb! She took me on as a walk in, and even scheduled me in later on the day I wanted to get my tattoo. She’s super professional. She communicated with me from start to finish. She was so nice, an absolute sweetheart! She made me feel comfortable and welcomed! Her work is more than extraordinary! She paid attention to ever detail of the tattoo I wanted, and did an amazing job bringing it to life, she took her time, and didn’t rush. Overall, the atmosphere of the shop is great! I really enjoyed my experience at Thunderbolt! I will definitely be back to see Saje for sure!

I was able to come in the same day to have two small tattoos inked by Saje. She was wonderful! Incredible line work, super-nice, and easy to work with. The shop is keeping things clean due to COVID19. I will be coming back!

I got some real good advice from the person working there, and I’m very satisfied with their work. Great place to get a tattoo from!

Went here for my first tattoo this past Saturday. Super friendly and clean environment. Saje was so freakin awesome! Amazing work, very chill and nice, had no problem answering any questions I had and just unbelievably patient with me.

Josh May is amazing, go and pay him a visit for your next tattoo. Josh is down to earth, my kind of dude to hang out with and have a really good conversation while getting spectacular art.

Nice shop. Everyones was super friendly. Proph Bundy is the artist I went to. Consultation and session went perfectly. Love his work. I cant wait to start my back!

Duel did an excellent with my intricate tattoo and was so patient with all the tweaks I wanted!

Called last minute and they fit me right in. The shop has a cool and calm feel to it. Great ambiance. Staff very friendly too. I would definitely recommend.

Totally professional. Awesome artists. Great vibes. Shout out to Josh May. Love my tattoo.

Really friendly staff & decent ambience, fairly clean environment, but very overpriced. I got one small word on my thigh that took maybe 40mins max to finish & it cost $80. This is my 6th & most basic, least detailed tattoo. I wouldn’t recommend this place to a friend. It’s kind of a rip off. I was quoted a $60 estimate over the phone but thought maybe it’d even be less when I got there & the artist could see how simple it was. Turned out to be $20 extra

Called last minute and PROPH got me right in! It was my first tattoo and he made me feel 100% safe, calmed me down and talked me through the whole process. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be back!

Shout out to Eric from Philly who did the wonderful butterfly tattoos for me and my daughter 🤗🤗 This place is awesome. Joe Vegas and the Thunderbolt team are the best. Highly recommend this shop for anyone in the Atl wanting a tattoo.

Love the energy here @ Thunderbolt, everybody is friendly. My artist Proph is that guy-one of the best in ATL!

I have gone to Chad for two piercings now and both times he did a fantastic job! He helps give recommendations if you’re not sure exactly what you want, and both of mine have come out awesome. Highly recommend Chad!

Duel is awesome!!! The shop is very clean and accepted me as a walk in. Definite return customer.

I have gotten multiple tattoos from Joe Vegas. His artwork is amazing! I highly recommend this tattoo shop. Joe is capable of many different styles and really listens to his clients concerning details.

Saje Gary is AMAZING. Very kind, professional, and amazing artist. The environment at the shop is super chill and enjoyable. We spent a great afternoon there today.

I met with Chad about replacing two pieces I lost for my conch and nose. He was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. First shop I found in a long time that had exactly what I wanted and needed. If I ever decide on another piercing, I’ll definitely be headed here. The color is beautiful. They had he best selection I have seen in the south!

Had a great experience at Thunderbolt. Josh May was my artist and he did an excellent job from early consultation through the tattoo procedure.The shop is clean and inviting. Ill defiantly be back.

Tattoo artist was nice but tattoo not good its supposed to be red and its pink I think dug to deep in skin .

Very clean shop. Friendly staff.

Lauren did an AMAZING job on my tattoo. She really took her time getting the design perfect, and the process never felt rushed. She took two and a half hours to do the actual tattoo and made sure I was comfortable (as much as one can be when basically getting tiny little cuts) the whole time. The piece looks so great, and it was very affordable. The shop itself was very clean and well maintained. Will absolutely be going back here for any future tattoos.

Got my first Tattoo here today! Josh and the staff were very helpful from my design idea to any advice they had, no pressure at all to get anything, anything I asked they answered politely. Josh did my tattoo and I’m glad I came to this place because, my body apparently didn’t like what was happening in the process of getting inked lol needless to say they handled the situation like a walk in the park I felt very comfortable and taken care of . No worries at all. would recommend anytime any day! Definitely coming back for my sleeve !!💯💯💯💯

My husband and I both got pierced by Chad. The entire staff was super chill and polite and Chad was incredibly professional and explained everything step by step. We would definitely recommend visiting Chad for any piercing needs, and we cant wait to go back for our next ones!

I came across this place and I looked at the reviews and everyone seemed to have great reviews for the piercer, Chad. I have to say I agree with all the great reviews. I was getting my ears pierced for the very first time and he explained everything so well and just made it obvious that he knew exactly what he was doing. He made me feel really calm about the process. I had a really great experience and I totally recommend him

So incredibly happy with my first tattoo! The staff is super chill and friendly when you walk in. I was so nervous going by myself I couldn’t stop sweating the whole time, but Proph made me feel very comfortable for my first time. Very clean and professional shop, will recommend!

I go to Thunderbolt for piercing services. The piercer Chad is one of the top best. Always professional, polite, and most of all attentive. He always has a great attitude. Extremely knowledgeable about his craft/skills. He knows the world of piercing hands down-from the jewelry to the anatomy of the body (where to place the piercing, how to take care of the piercing based on where its located, just everything). He shares his knowledge with his clients and always, always answers my questions-whether I come in to the shop or not. Super glad I found Thunderbolt. Every time I need to see Chad I drive about and hour from my home just to see him. I wont go to anyone else. He puts safety first and always practices the proper sterilization and aseptic techniques. Please Chad dont go anywhere any time soon!!

CHADDDD IS THE BEST! He know what/how to pierce any part of the body. I always end up looking better after seeing him. He’s skilled & chilled af!

Great tattoo shop! Joe did a sleeve on me and it turned out perfect. The other artists in the shop are very welcoming and helpful also. One of the best shops in Atlanta! Time to plan the next one...

Its been almost two years since I got my tattoo here, but every time I see it, I fall more and more in love with it. I did a little research before I came to the shop and wanted to see if Josh May could do what I wanted. He was super nice and when I came back, the design was perfect. I was nervous because it was my first tattoo, but he made me feel super comfortable, and the whole session went by smoothly. After he finished, he showed it to me, and it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I had been planning to get this tattoo for almost 4 years and when I saw it, it was better than I could have even imagined. The line work on the cursive was flawless and to this day, I have not been able to find one, single dot out of place. Amazing service, wonderful atomosphere, and you will leave with the tattoo of your dreams. I 105% would recommend making Thunderbolt your top choice when thinking about getting your next tattoo.

Chad is absolutely the best!!! I was a nervous wreck and he made me very comfortable. Chad followed aseptic technique, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I’m a nurse and I’m very particular when it comes to invasive procedures, and he exceeded my expectations by far. He was patient, caring, and extremely professional. He is definitely a cut above the rest. All of my future piercings will definitely be done by Chad. Thanks Chad!!

Got my Dahlia piercing by Chad. Super nice and professional. Very patient, especially with my mom, who’s a big chicken. Would most defiantly go back for another one anytime.

The location isnt terrible but is on a high traffic route. The stores interior is very clean and inviting. Great ambiance and playlist of tracks that makes the experience from lobby to the backrooms easygoing. Kandice did a fantastic job on my wifes tattoo of a Lunar Moth. And the wife was very satisfied with it. It was worth the charge and I assure you, we will be going back for future tattoos by her.

Got my earlobes pierced by Chad. He did an amazing job! He was very kind and professional. The shop was really cool too! All the other staff were great!

Great experience getting some work on my traditional Japanese half sleeve from Joe Vegas! Highly recommend him as he is an expert in irizumi. Shop was friendly and inviting and you can tell the focus is on the art not how fancy the from of the shop can look to sell you. Give them a go you wont regret it.

Read some reviews online before coming in today, wanted to get my ears pierced but was a little nervous. After my experience with Chad, I left feeling awesome!! Got a double helix and it looks amazing. They explained everything so thoroughly, 10/10 would recommend

I loved every bit of my experience at Thunderbolt! This was my first time getting a tattoo, so I was very nervous. My tattoo artist, Lauren was very patient with me and made sure I was happy with my overall experience. My tattoos turned out amazing, so I will definitely be back!! I highly recommend!

Good vibes from my experience here. I was assisted within moments of being a walk-in. Chad was AWESOME!! He is knowledgeable and made sure I understood every aspect of the piercing I was there to get. Friendly and professional 💛

Chad did an absolutely amazing job with my tragus piercing! I was pretty nervous going in, but he talked me through the whole process and made it as painless as possible. I wouldnt be able to recommend him enough!

I went here with my bestfriend to get some small tattoos and I had the pleasure of working with Saje. She was absolutely the best tattoo artist I have every worked with. She was extremely professional and welcoming. She answered all my questions and was completely knowledgeable of what she was doing. I had such a positive experience. Everything here was clean and the price was the best that I have ever worked with. Thank you so much everyone for your hospitality and for your outstanding atmosphere.

Lauren is awesome! She was recommended to me by another great artist, and she definitely didnt disappoint. She made sure my tattoo was perfectly placed and exactly what I wanted. She was super cool and Ill for sure be going back to her for future work.

I came here after I went to a different shopfor a piercing that was dirt cheap and you can say I got what I paid for at the other place. I came to Thunderbolt and Chad helped me get right! He was really nice and Efficient! I was so nervous but he talked me through the whole process! Definitely would come back and recommend him to others!!

Had a great experience with Lauren for my first ever tattoo. She was very easy to work with and helpful with the design. She did an excellent job with the actual tattoo and was very knowledgeable and easy going throughout the experience. Would highly recommend.

Very clean, super professional and these guys are amazing at what they do! I have had multiple piercings done by Darby and I have never had any problems with my piercings or been made to feel uncomfortable in any way; he always talks me through every step and if I ever have any questions after the fact he is never hard to get a hold of and is very informative always. Ive also had several sessions with Joe Vegas and I get nothing but compliments on my half sleeve. Ive seen nothing but good work coming out of this shop from everyone who works there and even though the shop is new; the artists clearly are not. Love the cleanliness of the shop, the vibe of everyone there, and I continue to feel pleasantly surprised with how they can take my ideas above and beyond what I ever even thought!

Amazing atmosphere and saje did a beautiful job on my tattoo, i’ll definitely go back

Very clean, friendly crew. Knowledge caring crew. Great work

When I got my second earlobe done they were very nice and walked me through the process of the percing and healing.

Ive been going to this shop for a while now, and I dont think Ill ever switch shops. The entire staff has always been nice and provides a great environment. Josh May has been doing all my tattoos for years and I honestly think that there is no one better in the field.

It’s been a long time writing a review, but here I am....! Let me tell you guys I had one of the most experience moment when I stepped into “Thunderbolt Tattoo and Piercing Shop” I’m from Houston Tx. Decided to take a trip with my niece last year in November. I was very skeptical 🤨 about getting my nose 👃 pierced. I’m so glad I did, so, I started doing some shopping around for tattoo parlors who pierced body parts as well.... After coming across thunderbolt and reading reviews. I made my final decision and told my niece to take me to get my nose pierce. This place was one of the most cleanest places I ever stepped in, not to mention Chad, who pierced my nose 👃 he was genuinely sweet as well as gentle and patient because I was nervous 😟 Chad made sure he sterilized every single thing before piercing my nose. If I could give this place a 💯 ⭐️ I will. If you are ever in Atlanta Georgia 🇬🇪 and want to get any body piercing done. I highly recommend this place!

I have been around the block with body piercings and I will never go anywhere else ever again. Chad absolutely goes above and beyond to make sure that his clients feel like theyre cared for. Hes a funny conversationalist with a sense of humor that can remedy anyones anxiety about getting a piercing. I give him all of the stars.

Saje did an excellent job on my tattoo and I would definitely recommend her! Will be returning!

I got 2 butterflies by Lauren Tedder and she did an awesome job. She listened to me and worked with me to give me exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much Lauren!

Did a walk in here today and Lauren did an incredible job! Really liked this place- would come back for a bigger piece.

Professional shop. Willing to work with you on designs and not afraid to give suggestions. Darby is also chill as hell. The shop is really good with Asian art!

Chad is the best!!! He was so patient with me!! Im definitely going back for my next piercing. The shop is beautiful and very clean.

Chad was calm and knowledgeable. Made a first time experience, quick, relaxing, and almost painless. Haha. Definitely recommend Chad for piercings

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! Was intimidated by the atmosphere because it just seemed really cool (which it was). But Chad was so nice, so understanding, and so talented!! 10/10 would recommend

Got nose pierced - Chad was awesome and very professional- thanks again!

Lauren did my tattoo and she was awesome! The place is clean, I love the art- she was able to give me suggestions to make it better than what I originally wanted- and everyone was super experienced.

Got my ear pierced here tonight! I love it! Thank you Chad for helping me decide what to do!

I got my nipples pierced with chad & I’m not gonna lie, it was really painful but it was really worth it because they look amazing! The pain only lasted a few minutes Chad was really patient & answered all my questions.

Josh does all of my tattoos and he is great.

Artists are very chill - especially Proph. Cool environment and they keep things sanitary

Lauren, Joe, and Josh are all super nice folks and make great looking tattoos.

Very professional, thank you Lauren you did an amazing job!

Awesome shop.

Great atmosphere and great artists!!! Highly recommend to anyone!!!

My tattoo looks like throw up......so thanks for that

My tattoo artist Proph is the truth...

Being disrespectful is the one thing that ruins all.

Great customer service

Proph is a beast
