I know its long but if you’re looking for a piercer please read! I really can not say enough great things about this business. Garrett Pearson is one of the... read more body piercers and he was sweet, calm, kind, understanding, and educational. I got my nose done and was pretty nervous that I would not like it but man was I wrong he made me feel comfortable and that I was in good hands and I believe that he is a big reason that I felt so confident afterwards. Here is a great example of his experience and knowledge. I had gotten my belly pierced when I was 16 and I could never get it to heal all the way so after two years I took the ring out and hoped that it would heal up but I had no such luck. It healed up at the bottom and it looked awful. I asked him to look at it and see if I could get it redone. He looked at it and knew that it just needed to be slightly pushed through. It took maybe a second and he had it back open. He put Jewelry in it for me and all is well. I have tried my self many times to see if it was just a thin layer of skin but I would have sworn to you it was much more than that. This is why it pays to have a professional do their job. He explained the aftercare very well and gave me a paper to take home with the info. All of the staff that I interacted with there was kind, supportive, and funny. I love the atmosphere and cleanliness. Thank you Mad Tatter team for the positive experience.
Always an amazing experience! Staff, quality of art work and application of your new tattoo are always top notch!
A review before the work is done - yep, classic me… can’t do anything the “right” way. But hear me out - since arriving here in Bowling Green, KY -... read more I’ve been seeking an artist/shop combo that “had a good feel” like the one I had almost ALL of my work done at. I found that at The Mad Tatter - Mike took the actual time to not only make me feel comfortable investing in his art, but to trust him and his team to help complete my inked “story”. Wish there was 6 stars sometimes. Pic of the before “current” work just to show this isn’t a doctored review. I only review when someone earns 5 stars, anything less than I feel compelled to reach out to the owner/manager directly to be a help instead of a hinderance. Shop local - but also do all business you can as local as you can. People like Mike are working HARD just like we are. #mooreexplores
