my favorite tattoo shop ever! great people great place and feels like home every time. Nicole has done all of my work for over a year now and I get compliments every single day. Shes extremely talented on another levellll!!!

James McGriff

My tattoo artist Wayman understood what I was looking for and delivered accordingly. I've never had the opportunity to say, "I have a tattoo artist" but since he's done my first tattoo I've never thought about going elsewhere. He's down to earth, mad understanding and very creative. If you're looking for something out if the box, he's the man. Trust me. I love that shop!!! Great job guys!!!

I've had pieces done by both Nicole and Ryan and they both do AMAZING work. I can't say enough good things about the talent, creativity and flexibility of this shop. You won't be disappointed!

Tyler Brill

I've had over 60 hours of work done by Ryan Willingham and continue to have work done by him. The shop has a great atmosphere and every artist is extremely talented. I highly recommend this shop.

Sia Richards

Did a really great job on the tattoo! It was a friendly environment as well. Good rate too (for a broke college student lmao). They won't disappoint!

I had a 13 hour tattoo done by Nicole here and I can't recommend this shop enough. Each artist has their own room, which is nice for privacy if you need it. Nicole was wonderful to work with and did an amazing job with my piece. I've talked with everyone at the shop, and they all were nice and easy to talk to. Clean, comfy, and great work all around!

I met Nicole at a tattoo convention in Columbus. Due to health issues my line work couldn't be finished at the con. I scheduled an appointment for seven month later and Nicole kept the stencil the entire time. She is so talented, patient, and caring to her clients (even half way across the country). We kept in contact all seven months preparing for the big day and let me tell you. Ot os completely worth it. She even gave me a discount I wasnt prepared for - she charged me the convention price instead of her usual.

Yesterday I spent the day getting tattooed by the awesomely kind Nicole Willingham :) I came to her with a pretty distinct concept for a custom tattoo and she took my idea and made it even more amazing! The whole experience was great, she is great at communication from emailing back and forth all the way to discussing final adjustments to the tattoo right before she starts. She is very focused on your happiness with the work and is very open to suggestions with a great attitude. She is also great at making sure you are as comfortable as possible while getting tattooed (hey, we all know its going to still hurt and/or be uncomfortable to an extent no matter what). Plus she is just super fun to talk to, but also knows when to let you focus. The only problem I have now is that I love my tattoo so much I just want a million more from her ;)

Got my tattoo done by Nicole, and it looks amazing. Haven't stopped getting compliments from people I know and bystanders. She was just as excited as I was to do this tattoo, which let me know she was going to do a great job. Everything was friendly and professional from the consultation to walking out the door with an amazing piece of artwork. The shop's aftercare advice is great; my tattoo fully healed within less than a week! Will definitely be getting my tats from here for now on.

Love love LOVE this shop. So clean, professional and amazing artwork. Nicole has done a few of my pieces and they are hands down the ones I am most frequently asked "where did you get that?"

Aireon Grimes

I had my first tattoo done here by Jenny and it was a wonderful experience. The shop is clean and comfortable. The artists are all super nice and very talented. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great ink at a very reasonable rate.

Samia Peregrine

Nicole did an excellent job for me!

Zachary Davis

Nicole at Apocalypse Tattoo in Atlanta is an amazing artist. She has done almost all of the tattoos I have and has always gone above and beyond what I was expecting. Highly recommend anyone at this shop.

Just passing near and we found the place by Lenox mall. Nicole was great and made us time the same day; even stayed a bit late after closing to finish us both. Just a couple simple tattoos, but they came out great and Nicole was great about making sure our design ideas fit as we wished and would come out well for years down the road. Good shop, good laughs during tattoo, nice to watch a movie during the process.

Angela Noel

Amazing artists! Always have a great experience and the vibes are awesome. 1 million thumbs up

kevin price

Great Experience..... Adam was awesome.. My first tattoo. He made me feel at ease. Very professional and friendly...... will definitely be back......

Jeremy Pitman

They're really good at what they do and if you're there with someone then waiting in the lobby is also quite comfy.

Jennifer Lee

Apocalypse Tattoo is amazing their custom work is amazing. Nicole always goes above and beyond for her clients and is so very talented.

Erich C

I've had the pleasure of being worked on by Nicole already 3 separate times . I highly recommend her as the experience was beyond great. She will even let you choose a movie to watch on Netflix while she creates beautiful art on your skin. And let's not forget her equally amazing and talented co-workers including her husband, the very talented, ryan willingham.

Jeremy Duke

I got a thigh piece by Nicole a few days ago and she does PHENOMENAL work. Everyone in the shop was incredibly friendly and made the entire time there fun. I have nothing but praise from my experience and will be back.

Trey

Ryan is magnificent artist as well as host during your tattoo sessions, we would take properly timed rests during the application and have good sociable chats. I would certainly recommend him just make sure you give him the time to properly understand your desired work and price point. Thank you Ryan Willingham, and my apologies for my miss-informed previous review. I hope you and your companions move went as planned. Sincerely, Charles (Trey) Harmon

chris warden

Thank you for amazing work, being genuine, custom and really making my tattoo experiences wonderful. Best of the best.

Shantise Gibbons

He did a great job tattooing me. He even took the time to help me come up with an idea of what I was really wanting and looking for visually.

Alexander Castiglione

I've gotten a couple tattoos here, and so has my fiance. After moving to ATL, I began the search to find a new shop, knowing I would want a bunch of work done. I stopped when I say Ryan's portfolio, and he, as well as Dan, Adam, and Nicole, are outstanding artists. I'm honored to have their work displayed on my body, and my fiance's ink gets compliments whenever its seen. I'd recommend any of them for their service, talent, cleanliness, and personable nature. Whether you're a needle-freak, or a first timer, you'll have a great experience.

Laura Polmear

I absolutely adore this hidden gem of the tattoo world in buckhead. Nicole has tattooed me twice over the last few years and both of my experiences have been so easy and pleasant. She is the kindest and most patient of artists and is amazingly gifted in what she does. I also love that they have movies playing in all the rooms so that you have a good distraction from potentiallly painful periods of your tattoo process if need be. I cannot recommend this place enough based on the talent of artistry among the artists as well the level of professionalism and kindness and fun you get when you are there. Thank you so much Nicole and co :)

gabriella mancini

Nicole is the absolute sweetest!! I went to see her for my first tattoo, and she gave me a beautiful peony flower on my shoulder. Apocalypse is also super clean, friendly, and professional. I'll definitely be back for more! :)

Chris Fogarty

Best shop in the South!

David Von Gunten

Staff was super friendly/helpful and top notch art.

Great prices and atmosphere

Ellen Elizabeth

I called to inquire about walk-ins and was told to come in the following Wednesday afternoon. When I arrived I sat in the lobby for 30 minutes and no one that passed spoke or acknowledged that I was there. When I finally asked about it they told me Wednesdays weren't good for walk-ins, contrary to what I was told on the phone. The employees all seemed to be leaving early or going out to smoke instead of acknowledge the people in the lobby. I took my business elsewhere.

Loan Nguyen

Today I got tattooed by Nicole, and let me tell you, she exceeded my expectations and did such a phenomenal job. I had two floral rib pieces and they came out better than expected. She was warm, inviting, and always made sure I was comfortable. You can tell she enjoys what she does and is super understanding and down to earth. She does get booked really fast. I came in in January and left my deposit and got tattooed today on March 29. It was definitely worth the wait. Shes patient and genuinely wants you to be happy. Not only is Nicole super sweet, the other staff are great as well! I highly recommend this shop. Thanks Nicole, there's more to come!

Got my first tattoo here. They were very professional and helpful through the process. I would recommend this tattoo shop to anyone.

Jordan Hoover

Got my first tattoo done here during a harry potter flash day. My artist, Wayman was wonderful I'm so glad my first tattoo experience was with Apocalypse.

This is an awesome shop. The artists are a great group, they care a ton about what they create, make awesome tattoos, and are easy to get along with. Over the last couple of years I've gone to Ryan for a few pieces. I keep going back because Ryan delivers great artwork, is up front about everything, does what he says, is good company, and always does a great job. I highly recommend Ryan and the other artists at Apocalypse!

Jannette Estrada

My husband got a cover up tattoo here they did a great job.
