I got nose/ear piercings with Shelby. First of all…I went somewhere when I was in ATL to get my nose a few weeks ago. It ended up coming out and I called BH and she said could come down and she would try to get it back in. Unfortunately, it would not, but she offered to do it again once healed. I went back today and she did SUCH A GOOD JOB! It didn’t hurt as near as much, didn’t bleed at all compared the the previous when it was literally gushing! She was professional, explained everything, personal and fun to talk to. I will be going back and recommending everyone to her! Shelby deserves a raise!!

Took my daughter in this morning first thing for a double helix… Guys were super cool and extremely polite. She had an awesome experience for her first brief introduction to a tattoo shop! I want to say this …. Dude has some cool taste with an impressive vinyl collection I enjoyed my wait time. Thank you gentlemen!!

I went here to get my nose pierced and they were extremely nice. They had some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen. The girl that did mine was super cool and I’ll definitely be going back here when I get the other side of my nose pierced!

I went in to get a helix and an upper lobe piercing. I was just doing a walk-in so I figured Id have a bit of a wait but it was actually a fairly quick process. My piercer was really great, made sure the piercings were gonna be where I wanted, explaining what she was doing, putting me at ease, and just making it go smoothly, and the prices were really reasonable too. Definitely gonna go back here for future piercings!

The piercer who booked our appointment was exceptionally nice. He was professional over the phone and answered all our questions. However, upon arrival to our appointment we were informed the piercer was out sick today. We drove 30minutes to our appointment only to be told he was out today, we left our phone number when we booked the appointment and at least a phone call to let us know that he wouldn’t be there would’ve been nice. Do better!

Got my tongue done yesterday. I was a walk-in so I did have quite a bit of a wait time. Ive had it done before but let it close some years ago. He was able so use that same placing which is what I was wanting. Thank for giving me my lil baby back. Me and the bestie will be back in the near future.

Was determined to get my nose repierced, everyone was closed, they were open! I went and got my 4th redo and she let me even dot it myself! She was very sweet and didn’t rush me. Glad they were the only place open because now I know of this awesome place. Will be coming to get a tat soon here since I had a good experience with my piercing 😁

I couldnt have picked a better place to get my Septum done, let alone my very first piercing. Very cheap, very clean, very professional, and virtually painless. Carston knows his stuff! I will be going back, for any and all my body Mod needs! THANK YOU!

Absolutely love this place! Sam does all of the work for my husband and I. He is so creative and can take any idea and make it even better than you realized it could be. We both have had several tattoos done by him and will keep going back. Thanks black heart and staff for being awesome 👏🏼

Best shop, best staff, best environment, best work. Ian has done my arms, legs, knee, head, and most recently I had him and Sam work together on my stomach/chest but I vouch for all of them. Ian, Sam, Adriana, and Carsten are all very professional, extremely personable, and fantastic at their jobs. Ive recommended them to everyone who asks and none of them had a single bad thing to say about their experiences. TLDR: clean, friendly, consistent, professional work.

Review №29

Carsten is FANTASTIC! This shop is so clean and professional and has a fun environment. I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know because they take care of their customers so well. I received my first tattoo and first piercing from Carsten as well as all of them since then and the workers are so thorough with explaining what they are doing during the process as well as explaining the best after care procedures. When I presented my tattoo ideas to Carsten, he truly made them come to life with perfect detail and I couldn’t be happier with them.

This review is specifically about the artist JAMES SPEAKE! My husband and I got hand tattoos on Thursday evening (2/4) and by early Saturday morning (2/6) I was hospitalized and given emergency IV antibiotics for severe Cellulitis that had infected my entire hand! When I was recovered enough to speak, I called the parlor and spoke to the owner. He did apologize and explained how the needles are single use only. He also wanted me to say that my husbands tattoo did not get infected, but a different needle was used on him than on me. Also, the artist James Speake told my husband that the cleaning product (green soap) that he uses for prepping the tattoo site he dilutes so it doesnt sting as much. Mind you, green soap is what is used to not only prep the area being tattooed, but is also used to prep the tattoo machines and removes dirt, blood, and any tattoo ink. Diluting it makes it lose its effectiveness. AND I GOT AN INFECTION!The shop was nice. The owner was nice. Staff was nice. Just avoid James. I bet they have a ton of other artists that not only do great work but also dont dilute their green soap.

I took a design in hoping to get a cover up on an old tattoo. Sam worked his magic and now I have received nothing but compliments on how good the new tattoo looks. He did an amazing job! I would definitely recommend Black Hearts to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience.

Got my Septum Peircing done here yesterday, it was a completely quick and painless experience made all the better by some pretty rad people -- its a few hours later and with the advice they gave me the swelling is minimal and pain almost non-existent (aside from me accidentally hitting myself in the face with a box, even that was only a sting)I will 100% be going back if I decide to get another piercing, or when I decide to get another tattoo.

I had my daith piercing done here today. Was in and out pretty quickly. Vary relaxed and made sure I knew how take care of it why healing. I know other places are cheaper, but I much rather pay more to have better service, and not feel like just a pay check or inconvenient. The shop was clean, and everyone was really nice. Unfortunately I dont rember the name of the person who did it, but they where awesome.

Review №54

I wrote my initial review after getting my Helix pierced. Im about 4 weeks removed from a nostril piercing. Its healing quite well, Ive been able to swap my jewelry, and have no piercing bumps. I was a walk-in and Cartsen was able to do my piercing. Being a walk-in, the 15-20 minutes I waited wasnt bad at all. My piercing was quick and painless.Just went in for a cartilage ear piercing (helix). They were super quick, and the piercing was almost painless. Shop looked clean, and they had a reasonable price.Edited to update that my piercing is healing well, and is no longer tender to the touch. Will definitely come back for future piercings.

Review №55

We walked in for 3 ear piercings. They were very friendly and helpful. My little one was so upset and didnt think she would get her ears pierced that day because every place we called said that they were too busy to see us. Tristan did our piercings and we couldnt be happier. He was patient with my little one and talked her through the process and took time with her when she was crying. Would recommend.

Review №63

Terrible service, everyone has a terrible attitude towards the people and their choice of work. Bad communication on the art pieces. And if you’re like me and use Ian, he will mention that they do a free touch up and never book a date with you. You can definitely get a tattoo here, but don’t get one that you’re gonna spend a lot of money on, or means a lot to you.

Review №64

I went in today to get my nipples pierced and it was the best experience Ive ever had at a shop! They look amazing!! Im a strange person because I love piercings but I have a phobia of needles. Carsten was very reassuring and very accommodating for my fear! I will definitely be going back for the rest of my piercings and will be recommending them to anyone I know looking to get pierced!

Review №65

This place is phenomenal! Absolutely amazing! Sterile and great work. Carston has given me 2 tattoos, and 3 piercings and all of them are very well done, and after every piercing, hes always told me to come back, and hed change it the first time for free. Also I got a screw stuck on one of my plugs in my ear, and he removed it for me for free, very informative, and kind. Great place.

I went in for a nose piercing today, Sam was great. He was professional and clean, and even though I had already had experience with the same piercing, he went over how to care for it and preventative measures for other issues like keloids. The only reason Im not leaving 5 stars is because I called and asked for someone else and when I got there I was told another artist would be working with me. I dont mind at all now, but asking me ahead of time would have been nice especially since I called and requested someone.

Dont come here if you want good customer service. I called to make an appointment and was informed that they dont actually do appointments for piercings. I was told that 5:30pm would be a good time to come. I arrived early at 5:20 and was told that I would be helped by 5:45pm... I was still waiting at 6:30pm. When I asked how much longer I would be waiting, I was then told someone else still needed to be helped ahead of me. I waited over an hour and still received no help. On top of that, the lady at the receptionist desk had a nasty attitude and was very rude and unhelpful. Dont plan on going back. Horrible service.

Clean facility, friendly staff, talented work and will follow up if you have a problem with a piercing, I have had to change out daith jewelry multiple times due to either skin sensitivity or medical procedure and they always do a great job of keeping the piercing site healthy. Best to make an appointment since they are so good, they are in high demand, making an appointment will allow them to give you the best service possible.

Went there today with my girlfriend who had an infected naval piercing, we went in there to try to get this resolved. We walked in and he said it would cost $10, and we were fine with that. My girlfriend was telling him what was wrong and her experience with it and he said i’m not working on that you can go back to the place that “fu***** you up”. After, throwing away her $70 belly button piercing that she paid without asking and telling her she was ripped off. Then he walked out and randomly left while she was bleeding and not providing any gauze and he said don’t worry about the $10? Made no sense terrible customer service and first time experience.
