I love this place all the way around! I went there yesterday to get this memorial tattoo for my older brother and David did above and beyond what I had pictured for this piece. Ive gotten 3 different piercings done there also. I will definitely continue to go there and I highly recommend them to anyone.

Dave was superb! We had good communication about what I wanted and he contacted me multiple times the week of my appointment to ensure that my custom piece was the way that I wanted it. A few small tweaks on the day of & I walked out with a piece of artwork that I love. Dave is definitely on my short-list for new tattoos in the future. He took the time to make sure that I was comfortable throughout the whole process.

I took my son here to get his Nose piercing, overall the staff was ok, not very welcoming with customers, (my opinion) but the lady who did my son piercing use a bigger gauge needle and the stud is not staying in his nose and came out the next day. I took him somewhere else and they were the ones who told me the hole was too big for the stud. Overall clean place and very well organized.

Took my daughter in to get her cartilage pierced and Daniel who did the piercing did an awesome job! He was very knowledgeable and made the experience quick and easy. The rest of the staff was very friendly also. We definitely go back again.

Went in for a tongue piercing on Friday evening. Daniel did the piercing, he made the experience quick and easy. The shop was clean, the process was simple. Will definitely be back for future piercings :)

I got my eyebrow and Madonna piercing there, the staff was terrific. Tonight I just had my jewelry changed and everyone was incredibly helpful and professional. I highly recommend

Just got my septum pierced here and Im super happy with it! Staff is very helpful and will tell you everything you need to know. 😊

My sister and I went for multiple piercings. Out of a total of 6, 5 had to be taken out due to not being even (her ears) or centered (both of our tongue). I use to only go to or recommend Fat Kats for piercings, now Ill never recommend them again.

I’ve gotten both cartilage piercings here and have always been satisfied. They are clean and sanitary and the prices are reasonable! I highly recommend for all your piercings needs

Great experience. Dave was great. Kept me laughing the whole time. Highly recommend him.

My best friend and I went in to get piercings. We were pierced by Daniel. He was the best. He answered every question we had, made us feel SUPER comfortable, and truly calmed my anxiety before and during the piercing. 10/10 the coolest guy and will request him for anything in the future :)

I had a great experience. I went in for another set of ear piercings and Tanya did them. I was a little anxious, but I barely felt the pain. She gave me reassurance and was super nice. I’ll definitely be back for future piercings.

Great shop! Ive gotten tattoos and piercings here and the service and personnel are top notch!! 💯😍

Tanya was amazing!! All three of us got our noses pierced. She was so sweet and understanding to my nervous friend. She has done a few other piercing for me and they have healed beautifully. Thank you for being awesome!

Sent an email, never got a response, finally called to ask if there were any appointments available for a tattoo. Very rude guy on the phone who talked to me like an idiot. Not helpful at all. Ended up getting an appointment at Black Lotus, I would highly recommend Black Lotus for a great tattoo and friendly experience. Would never recommend Fat Kats to anyone just because of how they treat prospective clients alone.

Love this place have gotten piercing from here. So nice !! Great customer service !! Also owner is awesome and so sweet !! Definitely recommend and will be back !!

There were definitely pros and cons and a lot not more pros than cons.Pros: it was very clean and sterile. I loved how my piercer took me back and so I could see him getting an unused needle straight out of packaging. I loved how he even sanitized the tray and laid like a paper towel thing down. He was also very nice and informative. I had gotten my navel pierced and was so scared of it becoming infected. He told me as long as I clean it thoroughly I would have no problem. He also addressed all of my concerns. He was not rude to me and happily pierced me even though I am slightly on the larger side without judgement. It also didn’t take long at all I wasn’t even there 10 minutes, 20/10 would highly recommend and go back again!Cons: he never told me his name :/ In my opinion I think a piercer should always start with an introduction so that you don’t just let a stranger near your body with a needle but hey is the small details.Other than that one con it was a nice experience. I loved the look of the shop and they were extremely helpful!

Bad attitudes, over priced, less than expert piercing experience, causing need for fix.I would be glad to reach out to the owner, the woman who pierced me said she was the owner, this was a ways back. I still want some peirceings... :)

Love this place. Clean and very cool looking inside with a great atmosphere. Ocala is lucky to have this place. Tanya is awesome. Piercing was fast and basically painless. Tanya was fun to chat with during the process yet professional. Price was excellent. Highly recommend.

Staff was very helpful, friendly, and professional. Very clean and sanitary. Staff fully explained the process and aftercare instructions clear and precise. When Im ready for another piercing or tattoo will be back!

Tanya did an amazing job on my septum, cant thank her enough ☺️

Everyone was super nice and helpful. I was in and out in no time. Great place to go to.

Dannys a cool guy. Thankyou for making me comfortable 😌 I love my bridge and my nose peircing thankyou so much🤘

Did a great job, my wife loves her new tattoo.

Tanya was very professional, courteous, and nice. She didn’t try to overcharge or rush me out. She was informative and had great customer service. Thanks for getting my nose right! Would come back and recommend Tanya.

Great place for piercings. Ouch! But great 👍! 😁✌️🌹

Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.if you need anything done this is the place to go

Great place and environment for tattoos and piercings. Staff is nice and friendly.

Tanya was so kind, polite and extremely patient with me. I have a lot of piercings but I always get so nervous before getting them done. She pierced both sides of my nose again (they had closed halfway) and also pierced my septum. I’d go to her 1000x over! She assured me there would be swelling and not to worry. I’m so happy with them I love my new nose!!lmao

Fist of all, staff is so nice! I felt very welcome as soon as I stepped in.The entire space is such a cool vibe and everything is super clean and neat, nothing was out of place.I got a septum piercing and it was quick and easy and I was given clear and simple instructions for care. I will definitely be going back😍

Rude! Went into to buy some jewelry. Could tell we were bothering him. Will never return.

One of the workers came storming out of the back told me to “shut up” my kids while my son was getting his ears pierced. It was very unprofessional and completely rude. If there was a problem, someone could have kindly asked me to leave along with my kids. Management must have changed because it was never this unprofessional before. This place is not family friendly.

Despite what I was told about this place, I decided to check it out for myself. They are awesome there they have great customerservice, great advice and knowledge about the industry. I had a great experience. Dont ever go off of what others say, try it for yourself.

I did a bunch of looking online for a shop in Ocala, I usually use my tattoo artists shop in Gainesville but their piercer is.... No bueno.The reviews were awesome so I figured Id check it out. Tanya(I believe is her name) was my piercer. She was pretty busy and had a few clients ahead of me. She was fast with them, Calm, Courteous, and straight to the point when going over post piercing instructions.She repierced my tongue for me in my existing closed hole, I was in the chair less than 10 minutes. It was EXCELLENT. I will be coming back for any of my piercing needs.

I wish I could give this place a 5 star rating but I can’t. First the woman who did my piercing seemed to not wanna be there at all and wasn’t very friendly. She also didn’t tell me when she was gonna pierce me and I only mention that because every other place I’ve been to the piercer always tells me what’s going on and she really didn’t. Secondly none of them were wearing masks which I know isn’t required but it made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Thirdly when I got there the woman who pierced me was complaining about the last customer that she pierced and it just seemed so unprofessional to me. Lastly when I called,the woman who answered the phone seemed rude when I asked if they were doing facial piercings right now. I wish I could say I would go back because the atmosphere was nice and the piercing was cheap but I will not be back.

Took both of my daughters here for their nose piercings on their birthdays. Friendly and informative staff!! Recently got a tattoo, my artist was Brian Fahey. I really like how it turned out!!

Dave was great! Worked with me to get my design just right, explained the whole process, and made sure I could see that the equipment had been sterilized and was unopened until used for my tattoo. Not only did he make sure I understood the aftercare instructions, but explained the why and what could happen if they werent followed (but not in a preachy way). And he was fun to chat with the whole time. Highly recommend him and Fat Katz!!

DANIEL!! was amazing I was going just for one piercing and ended up Leaving with two he was absolutely amazing he made it very comfortable and quick I will definitely be coming back I highly recommend this place for business I been to the other shops here in ocala and This is the one for me Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

Recently got my second tattoo at Fat Kats. Dave Draper did both of mine, and he is excellent. People frequently comment on how great the colors are and what a fantastic job he did on both of them. Ive referred several of my friends there and they have all been very satisfied. Highly recommend this place ( and Dave ! )

I had posted a bit ago a negative review of this establishment, however since then I have been contacted by the owner. Due to such positive interaction and resolution with him and his wife I have since taken it down and would like to post a revision:The first time I had a not so great experience with a piercing/piercer, however after speaking with Brian (owner) he did everything in his power to correct my complaint. I am pleased to say that I am completely satisfied with them and would recommend them to anyone. I have a piercing I am completely happy with, love it! Tanya took such good care of me. I would definitely go back when I am ready to get my next one. Brian even reached out to make sure everything was good after my appointment today. This kind of customer service is second to none.Thank you for an excellent experience!

In and out in about 30 minutes to get my girlfriends nose pierced. Pretty funny piercer and it was an easy experience

They are always super nice and very professional.

Dani was my piercer. He did absolutely amazing and was really good at calming my anxiety and gave me time to relax in between piercings. I would definitely come again for future piercings. Everyone there was amazing!

Great staff. Tattoo artist did a awesome job on my sons tattoo.

I brought my mom-in-law here to get her helix repierced for mothers day and walked out with a nose piercing of my own. Super quick, professional, and prices are good.

Dave draper .was my artist he did a great job great price. I got more in mind Ill be back for shore

Tanya did my nose ring today!!! 10 stars! I had my nose pierced before and my experience was horrible and hurt like heck! I didn’t even know she was done !!!Great experience!! And fast!

Tanya was amazing! Very calm, very informative. Im very satisfied with the 2 piercings I received from her, will definitely be going back!

The lady who did my piercings was calm and really sweet with me. I was having a bad panic attack due to my fear of needles but wanting ear piercings for a few years now. Next time I get a new piercing or my first tattoo, Im definitely going here again despite the long drive from my house to here.It was super affordable and quick and clean with the process, Ive had multiple people suggest this place to me for tattoos and piercings before.

I’ve had my belly piercing for 9 months and i cannot unscrew the ball at the top or bottom . i have no idea how i’m gonna take this out and change it .

Pleasant staff and great experience.

Dave Draper is my favorite artist here at Fat Katz. He does amazing one of kind tattoos.

I never got to go there or talk to any of the staff. The only reason Im giving only 3 stars is because I tried calling them 4 times and all they did was answer the phone then immediately hang up on me without saying a word.

Very clean, professional, and thorough. I walked in to get my nose pierced and was attended to immediately. I was in and out within 10 minutes and the process was not even painful. I would highly recommend this place for piercings.

In n out fast. All questions were answered

Gentle and very kind people! I have a rather low pain tolerance so I almost passed out from my septum piercing but the lovely person who did mine was very nice and talked me through the entire process. Kept me calm.

Shawn is a great tattoo artist, he did my most recent and Ill be going back for more! Located in downtown Ocala this shop does tats and piercings.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Not professional artists. Do not recommend.

The staff were so nice, the interior was welcoming and the people were professional. I got two piercings and my friend got two tattoos. 10/10 will go back.

Clean and professional went here today and got my nose pierced mrs tonya was fun fast and knows what she was doin

Only went to get jewlery. I wish they had a bigger supply of choices

Went for my baby girls 6th birthday to get her ears pierced. Both guys did wonderful with her! They were patient and quick! Wonderful experience and definitely coming back for more work for me when I can!

Daughter got pierced there..great ppl n place

This place has been amazing! I got my nose pierced here, and my daughter got her nose and belly pierced here! Very clean and professional! Would highly recommend them for your piercings!

Walked in to get a piercing replaced because I had to take mine out and could not put it back in. The piercer at the front desk was amazingly helpful and put in a new ring for me in under 5 minutes. I will definitely come back to this place for any piercing or tattoo in the future, very professional and clean!

Tanya the owner is also a piercer and she was so nice and helpful in talking through where i’d want my cartilage piercing to be. she is very knowledgeable and good and calming nerves (lol). would recommend anyone go to her for their piercings.

Dave was amazing!! He finished the first session on my Harry Potter sleeve. He’s very clean and made me feel very comfortable! Would highly recommend!

Tanya you are the best. Your professionalism, kindness, knowledge and swiftness took me overboard. Definitely, returning for my next set of piercings. Again, Thanks.Blossom

We have been there many times and they never let us down!!! Awesome as always! TY!!

I’ve gotten a few piercings here now and their piercer (I think his name is Matt, my bad if I’m wrong) is super knowledgeable and always does piercings quickly with perfect placement and as little pain as possible. Very affordable jewelry too, and everyone I’ve talked to there has been informed and helpful!

Went to get my septum done. Piercer was efficient and did an awesome job. Def recommend!

Brian Fahey was the artist assigned to do my tattoo when I requested an appointment. I was only in town for a few days and they were willing to work me into their schedule. I like tattoos but am not a fan of needles but Brian was quick and really good, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I gave him a general discription of what I was wanting and put my trust in his artistic abilities and he did not disappoint. Thank you to Brian and the rest of the staff. I would definitely recommend Fat Kats to anyone looking to get a tattoo in the Ocala area. Dont go to Orlando to get a tattoo, go to Fat Kats in Ocala. The shop is in a very nice part of town with great restaurants and shopping near. Thanks again!

Super sweet and fun. tanya is really nice and friendly :) definitely coming back

Dave did a good job on my 2 tattoos

Had a wonderful experience at fat kat tattoo went in as walk ins and got right in, they’re very professional and friendly my sister and law and I went there tonight and had the pleasure of having Dave tattoo us and he was wonderful made us laugh and great company felt very comfortable. Would highly recommend anyone go there to have work done. We gave him an idea and he took it beyond what we asked. Thank you for you time!

Staff there are super nice and the prices are affordable

This shop is awesome! I was there recently and had such a great experience. everyone was friendly and willing to help me. The shop is very clean and antique-y. They have had a bit of change over in staff but i dont think that interferes with their quality, if anything, the change was for the better. The artists are all very talented and the piercers are patient. I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone.

Decided to come here for my nose piercing after seeing great reviews about Tanya. She did not disappoint!

Everyone was friendly and informative! The service was excellent.

Great experience I brought my fiance cousin and sister there and its was great thanks !!

I had an awesome experience here! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Tanya did my piercing and I’m absolutely in love with it. The shop was clean and very professional. 10/10 recommend going here.

Went in as a walk in for a nose piercing, didnt wait even a second! Went back got it done and shocked it didnt really hurt, answered my questions and on my way I was!! I was a little shocked they didnt give me any type of cleaning spray or whatever for piercing but Id go back for sure!!! Guy at the front desk told me fill out the form n if I didnt have a doctor put hospital incase they had to wheel my body out theyd know where! I thought it was great! I expect a darker sense of humor from tatoo artists lol! Very friendly and informative staff! Clean environment! No waiting! Quick and easy!

Today I went to Fat Kats to get my second tattoo. Needless to say I was very nervous. I sent the appointment yesterday and they were able to get me in with Jorge Ramirez. What a professional, he made me feel very confident in his work. He had an awesome attitude and helped me pic out the perfect effect I was looking for. I enjoyed the conversation and felt very comfortable. I would recommend him to my friends and family. The shops Atmosphere is amazing and clean as a whistle.

Grands had bellybutton pierced very friendly and clean

I went in to get my belly button piercing, amazing customer service and very clean. Dani did my piercing and he did amazing. Will definitely go back for my next piercing!

Got my septum piercing done here. Was nervous but he made it quick and some what painless. Absolutely in love with my piercing! Fat kats rocks! Looking forward too another one soon

Got my nose pierced there by Tanya. Very professional and quick. Im a week post and have no complications. Highly recommend to others, coming back for my ear piercings ❤

I absolutely love Fat Kats. Ive gotten most of my piercings there and I highly recommend them! Tanya is such a sweet heart and freaking amazing. Thank you, Tanya for my latest addition.

I came in to get my septum pierced and was greeted like family ! I love the environment and the employees are so kind. Definitely coming back in the future !

I have nothing but PRAISES for this tattoo/piercing business. Fat Katz was my first piercing, and I guarantee I will get my last piercing done by them. Their always so kind and friendly when you walk in. Ive always been greeted by a smiling face and all my questions are answered. Ive had the pleasure of the amazing Mrs Tanya Purdy, for almost all of my piercings. She truly is the BEST at what she does. She makes sure to tell you that she is not a surprise piercer which always makes me laugh and feel comfortable. Fat katz will always be my first recommendation/choice. Thank you for another great piercing, Im sure to return! :)

I got a belly button piercing Saturday, and here it is Wednesday and my stomach started to swallow the piercing. I am highly disappointed. This has never happened! My belly piercing was pierced way too low. Her name was Tonya.

Took my mom, sister and i to get our nose pierced there, Daniel did a great job on all 3 of us! it was fast & made it a great experience. I was worried about the pain but it honestly wasn’t bad at all! Thank you Daniel @fatkats

Did a great job on my daughters navel piercing. Very straight forward and honest.

Very detailed line work

Jorge Ramirez is a great artist! Was very pleased with how my tattoo turned out. Came in showed him what I was looking to get he broke it all down explaining color options and his personal opinions. He knows what he’s doing! I will recommend Jorge to anyone who asks about getting a tattoo and will definitely be seeing him again for my other tattoos!

I lived near Ocala, FL. for almost 4 years, I got sone ink done by tattoo artist Shawn Cartwright, and he did phenomenal work! My Father unfortunately recenly passed, he did my Dad justice with the illest portrait tattoo, that he did!! Ive recently moved back to Fort Lauderdale where there is also a Fat Kats tatoo shop that is dope as fuq! But i still sometimes drive back up to Ocala every once in a while just to get inked up by my mans Shawn!!

Had belly Bottom pierced there loved it. My boyfriend, grandma and I got tattoos done there. Beautiful work.

I’m a body modification enthusiast and I look forward to going to fat kats everytime I want something new done. Tanya is so friendly and informative a very professional caring piercer and person! I love the environment in the shop and all of the employees.

Jorge Ramirez the best of the best! I recommend it 💯

My son has gotten both his tattoos here. Cartwright has done a howling wolfs head and our family crest for him. Id like to thank Cartwright for the great job he has done! I would advise you look at the individual artists work tho. As in all things, we each have our own specialties and preferences. Ill be going there soon for myself! ❤️
