Studio 219 Ink

I first came here in 2024 on one of the piercing special days and got three piercings done — my nose, belly button, and tragus. I expected a long wait because of the promotion, so that part was understandable. My original piercer was a female, and she was absolutely wonderful — very patient, kind, and professional. She made me feel comfortable and did all three piercings smoothly. A couple weeks later in 2025, my tragus jewelry unscrewed and fell out. I went back to have it reinserted, but the female piercer wasn’t available, so I was seen by a male piercer instead. Unfortunately, that experience was very different. He said my original jewelry was too small and couldn’t get it back in, and instead forced a much thicker bar into my ear. It was extremely painful and felt like the piercing was being redone. He seemed impatient once he realized the jewelry was small. I ended up removing that larger bar myself later because of the pain and was able to put my original jewelry back in without an issue. Most recently in 2026, the jewelry fell out again while I was sleeping, and I returned to the shop. I wanted to see the female piercer again but wasn’t placed with her and was seen by the same male piercer. I explained that I previously had a bad experience (without accusing him at first), and he confirmed he had worked that day but said he didn’t do it. He’s the only male piercer in the shop and I’m 100% certain it was HIM. The process again felt rushed and rough, and I left in significant pain and discomfort. I do want to give credit where it’s due — the front desk receptionist (dude with the dreads) and the female piercer were both kind and helpful. They took the time to answer my questions about jewelry and even gave me their direct vendor information so I could order the style I wanted since it was no longer available in the shop. I appreciated that a lot. After my experience, I went back and read other customer reviews and noticed multiple people describing similar issues with this same piercer — specifically mentioning roughness and impatience — which made me feel like my experience wasn’t just a one-time misunderstanding. Because of this, I personally would not recommend this shop unless you are being pierced by the female piercer.

Honestly, do NOT RECCOMEND!!! I heard online that they had $10 Tuesdays, and decided to try it out. I was stupid and impulsive, and I'm going to be so real please listen to this. First of all, getting there is an absolute NIGHTMARE. It's in an AWFUL part of town, RIGHT by a literal strip club, and the parking situation is so bad you're tempted to park at the shell next door the studio (the shell employee there was a 40 yr old pervert asking where I'm from and if I'm single 😀😀😀) but the shell WILL tow. But you only find that out after you park AT the shell, and then walk to the piercing shop, and then walk back to your car, and THEN STILL have to park and it sucks. They also have NO waiting room. Well they do, but it only fits 4-6 people. They also do not have an appointment system but work by waitlist so if you show up in a car, you just sit in it until they call you. Which wouldn't be a problem imo if it wasn't such a rough area. You walk inside and it's stinks of weed. It's Atlanta so, I'm not surprised but it wasn't exactly clean either. I start to see reviews on my phone that talk about how the piercing Padawan pierced them side ways, but I was getting a lobe and figured noone could mess it up. He did. So first of all he DROPPED the ball to the peircing. Which. TBF I don't judge because the balls are really tiny. The thing I had a problem with, however was that he went to put it back in my ear without SANITIZING IT. AFTER IT FELL!!! He also put the dots for the peircing in the wrong spot, I asked to move it, he did which I appreciated. But then, he pierced me SIDEWAYS also oh my God, the gauge was HUGE. I did NOT want stretched lobes thank you. They were also two balls, which are just not comfortable for lobes. He pierced me sideways and I know that because when I felt my ear I could put my finger over the bar in my ear, and the balls would literally be on two different sides of my finger. For what it's worth, he's a nice guy, but at the end he reccomended witch Hazel for a new peircing and knew I wouldn't be coming back. For what it's worth, try hypochlorous acid- it's not an acid really chemically it degrades into saline after a few seconds.

Jack did my septum and my double lobes, and it was the easiest process I've ever been through! Dude really knows what he's doing. He's a character and very comforting, gave me and my Morehouse Brothers a quick and easy experience at the shop! Will 100% be going back for more.
