Super friendly people and clean shop! I really enjoyed my experience here. Would definitely come back for more.

Got my first tattoo here the other day on my ribs. My artist was Julia and I couldnt be any happier with the work she did! Phenomenal artist! From the moment I walked in, she and the whole shop was extremely welcoming. During my session, Julia put my comfort first. Absolutely no complaints, only compliments about her and Big Cat Tattoo! Great experience all around!

I cannot say enough about emily (@ylime_tattoos on ig) !!!! she did my absolute favorite tattoo on my body and was so open to blending our ideas together. she’s so talented and so sweet. the shop was clean and the energy was great. i will definitely be back to big cat!!

Came here to see Chris a few days ago for a memorial tattoo and it was a great experience. Everyone there is super kind, professional, and clean. They also use Saniderm instead of plastic wrap and tape which is a huge plus.

Quality work, good prices, friendly, pretty simple. Go here, I asked for Julia, but presumably everyone else is great too. Two thumbs waaaay up

After about a day of looking for a tattoo shop, this one won hands down. My friend and I spent a day going back and forth about different tattoo shops. Now this wasnt the best deal but based on their reviews and pictures it made it worth what they charged. Jesse seemed to have the best reviews so we made our appointments with her. It took about a week to actually confirm our appointments but my friend was in constant contact with them and it was a slight oversight on their part.Arrived there about noon on a Saturday, which is when they open and the staff was already there. We went over our tattoo designs and placement, made changes and edits to make sure it was what we wanted. Ive had 2 previous tattoos and this is the first place that actually had me sign a waiver.We saw Jessie clean the area, change the tools, and prep everything that was needed for both of us. Jesse is very chill and friendly, and super nice.The staff was friendly and nice and I appreciated that. Chris, one of that tattoos artists, is a funny guy, He cracked jokes and I had to try hard not too laugh while I was being tattooed.The shop isnt that big, a front room and a back room that they share, but theyre moving to a new location soon which will be much bigger and offer more services.If I ever decide to get another tattoo (which I probably wont because Im done, lol) I would def come back here and I also would recommend others to come as well.

Was surprising my partner with a tattoo for his birthday. Made an appointment with Jesse. Her work was super clean and precise at a great price. Will definitely come back to see her again if either of us gets a tattoo in the future!

Made a same day appointment and met with Emily! I’m a tattoo “novice” and wanted something simple. Emily and her boss, I believe Dave (?), welcomes me and made me feel comfortable from the start. Emily took my simple vision, came up with the perfect design and got to work. A very clean and relaxing environment. I will be going back and would recommend Emily and the team at Big Cat with no hesitation. I was in and out in 45 minutes.

Great place and very welcoming! Went to get my first tattoo and loved it! Emily is a great artist and I enjoyed her work, patient and thorough. Sweet as can be! Highly recommend 😉

Since moving to Atlanta 6 months ago, I was in search of my next tattoo artist. I ended up going to Emily at Big Cat and I am so happy with my choice! She and the other artists were so friendly and fun to speak with. She took her time and her line work is fantastic. Amazing experience and I will definitely be a regular.

Got a tattoo here from David and he did such an amazing job. I also called him up and out the blue for a walk in and he saw me right away. Shop is clean with amazing artists with an even better atmosphere. Highly recommend this shop!

Made a last minute appointment with my sister and cousins in which they were able to accommodate for. We were helped by both Jesse and Emily, who were a delight. They made us all feel comfortable and were quick and efficient all while delivering a beautiful finished piece for each of us. I look forward to going back in the future!

I just dropped in spontaneously one day, and they took me in right away. They were INCREDIBLY helpful in building the right tattoo for me, as I came in with a general vision but no idea exactly what I wanted. Chris made several different sketches until we found the perfect design and size, no stress or rushing at all. The tattoo was small and fine lined, aka easy to mess up, but he absolutely hit it out of the park. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be back here for my next tattoo :) Lovely people and wonderfully talented!

At Big Cat - The guys were awesome and so fun! We popped in from out of town and my daughter and her girlfriend wanted piercings, so we called and they said come on down, open until 10pm which was a plus for us. A nose and double ear piercing by David and Chris on the side lines to assist. Great experience, my girls were so happy! Thanks guys!!

Got tattoos with my friend while visiting Atlanta. He got a cool Batman logo made by David. I got a traditional swallow made by Emily. Nice, clean shop with a funny crew.They have a get what you get machine which I want to try next time Im in town. They take credit/debit cards. Plenty of parking.

So I went in for a tattoo today and Absolutely a great place. Emily was great met my expectations and more I am very proud to finally find a good artist in Atlanta and hope to move forward with her. I will be doing some more complex pieces and will let you know overalleither way if you are looking to get a tattoo ask for Emily she was light handed and great to talk too definitely recommend her.

This was my very first tattoo and I have to say David Parish and the entire staff are awesome! David was my artist and was available to chat or communicate via email as much as I needed to before my actual appointment. I sent him a variety of pics so he knew what my vision was. Once I arrived he greeted me with a warm smile and got right to work sketching out the tat. Im more than pleased and before he was done I was thinking about my next one. The atmosphere is great and staff seems like family.

Came here for the flash fundraiser event for Java Cats - this place is wonderful, and the people are awesome! This was my first tattoo and I’m super happy with it, I love how kind David was about it, my entire experience was just perfect. Thank you!!!

Loved loved loved the guys here and the experience. My best friends and I are from out of town and came in right at open and they were more than happy to do our tats! So quick and they look so good. Definitely will be coming back :)

Easily one of the best tattoo experiences I have had. Staff was incredibly friendly and did excellent work. Couldnt recommend the place enough. Will definitely be returning soon!

Very cool shop with a great atmosphere. All the work they put out is super rad! Staff is very fun and spunky. Definitely recommend.

Walked in randomly one night to get matching flash tattoos with my brother. Everyone was super nice and we were so satisfied with the work. We even came back the next day with our mom so she could also get the matching tattoo. Will definitely consider them for my next piece! Special shoutout to Jessie and Chris!

Love this little shop. I got tattooed by Emily and she is amazing! Very detailed oriented and kind.

I walked in without an appointment and came out an hour later with a dope little piece. Everyone there was super cool and my artist, David, worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. I have several tattoos from different shops around the United stares and overall this was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing atmosphere and artists. Three of my friends and I walked in wanting to get tattoos and they accommodated us all. They were receptive to our ideas and comments and did a great job. Definitely would recommend this to people.

The whole team was so so professional and kind. they gave all their attention to my needs and made sure i was 1000% satisfied with the stencil before tattooing. it was such a pleasure. jesse adams is such a talented artist. i would recommend her to anyone 🥰 love my new ink!!!!

Very welcoming, laid back, and professional staff! David has done the majority of my tattoos and I have never been disappointed! Highly recommend this shop. This is definitely the place to go for awesome work!!

Ugh awesome. We drove in from out of town. Family tattoo trip. My girls first tattoo. Me and my husband got our 1st tattoo done 21 years ago when we first meant. It was important for me to tattoo with our kids for their 1st one. Called ahead got great info. Got there the energy and the professionalism was top level. Love our tattoos. In out with our own designs. We will return soon for enhancements

Love this shop. It’s in a great location, it is one of the coolest shops I’ve been to. Not only is it super clean and decorated nice, the artists are so friendly and talented. David Parrish was awesome! I will definitely be back for the rest.

Seriously one of the cleanest, really professional and best shops in Atlanta. Great artist, great work, great tattoos. If you are looking for an amazing tattoo check out Big Cat Tattoo. David and everyone are truly so welcoming and make you feel super comfortable. I can’t rave about them enough, definitely check this place out!

Jesse ans Chris are AMAZING. And the vibes from the shop rock. Go here. Get inked. Leave a deserving 5 star review. Repeat.

Emily gave me one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. She is extremely kind and strives to give you the best tattoo she possibly can. She even let me watch her sketch and everything. Wonderful person !

David, and joe are some of the greatest guys, and tattoo artist I’ve met. I’ve been getting tattooed Here for a while now, and I’ve never been disappointed by anything I’ve gotten. They are very welcoming, and friendly. Always a great feeling knowing I’m gonna be taken care of, and that I’m gonna leave with a big smile on my face. If you’re in town, or just live around the area, go to these guys. They’re the best.

Awesome experience! Came in close to closing time and David was very accommodating for my tattoo and a friend’s piercings. Clean, awesome atmosphere, friendly artists.

Was a walk in and they we able to work me in right away. Jesse was awesome and did a wonderful job on my tattoo.

I decided to pop in and get a tatto today and I must say this place is phenomenal!! The entire staff is very professional and welcoming! My tattoo was virtually painless and done quickly and efficiently. David did such a great job! Make sure to check him out!!

Make sure you ask for Chris when you come!! Awesome place, easy to talk to tattoo artist who made the tattoo experience super enjoyable!! Would recommend 10/10

David Parrish is my main man he’s done multiple tattoos on me at this point including a difficult hand cover up which he pulled off with no real issues. I’m planning on basically full body coverage by him this year. He knows what he’s doing, he has good vision, he prices fairly, and he works SO FAST. Plus you really can’t beat this location it’s right down the road from Lenox and everything go get some work done!!

I had an amazing experience here! the staff was so nice (: chris did my friend and i’s tats and it was nothing short of an amazing experience! i recommend anyone to him and this shop hands down.

Very friendly staff. Beforehand, I was worried about quality, being my first ever tattoo and all, and I was in great hands from start to finish. They did an excellent job on my tattoo. Despite it being a simple piece, David took his time and did an excellent job. I will absolutely be returning.

David is a great artist and has done many tattoos on me (and I love all of them!) The shop is clean and has a great atmosphere. The rest of the staff is super friendly as well!

Tom Johnson, (@lumberjacktom) is a true artist and a great asset to Big Cat Tattoo. Been working with him for two years now, and followed him when he moved to Big Cat. His approach to the art of tattooing is unparalleled. If you want a clean, professional tattoo experience, go see Tom and crew over at Big Cat! It’s now my go-to spot for tattoo work!You won’t regret it!

I got a lovely tattoo from Emily today! Great place and everyone is super friendly!

Thanks Emily I love my new tattoo. Great location . awesome job !

Jessie did a FANTASTIC job on my Venus(goddess) tattoo! Great employees, small cozy shop, great work!

David did matching tattoos for my wife and I tonight and they both turned out perfectly! We were walk-ins right before closing and he was kind and patient even though I was super picky! Next time we are in town we will be back! 😀😀😀

Chris and the rest of the staff are fantastic. Excited for them to move to their new, bigger shop.

Awesome guys and gal here!! Super laid back and did an awesome job. Recommend them to anyone and will definitely be coming back!

All the artists are great. Personable and their work speaks for itself. Would highly recommend Big Cat! The glitter floors make the trip worth while as well.

BEST experience ever! Super nice people and we were in and out fast. Definitely will be back!

Very clean and cool establishment with talented friendly artists. David Parrish is my artist of choice. You won’t regret coming. Also the glitter floors are SO rad.

Walked in with one of my besties for a small script friendship tatt. I know we aren’t their typical clients but Lumberjack Tom handled it like a champ. We had a pic & he took it & did his own thing & they were perfect. Both Tom & the other artist working were super friendly & held conversations with us. Love the shop, especially the awesome glitter floor! It actually took longer for Tom to sanitize his station between each of our tattoos than it did to actually tattoo us but that speaks volumes on his professionalism & attention to detail & cleanliness. Highly recommend!!!!

Everyone is so cool here! i got some panther flash from chris today. he made me feel so comfortable! the vibe in this shop is great and everyone is so lovely. i’ll be back ❤️❤️❤️!

As a heavily tattooed person, and have been tattooed in multiple shops around atlanta. Big cat tattoo offered help to make my next piece work amazing with my old starts! Chris Tollenson was able to take a small/basic idea, with no real reference, become one of my favorite tattoos. Owner (David) came in on one of his few days off to make sure his hired artist were living up to his standard of his shop. Overall this is an amazing shop with amazing artist that want to take your ideas and make them into not only your reality but theirs as well!

Emily is amazing. Took a difficult concept and made something I LOVE!!!

I have to say my experience with this shop was exceptional! They were very professional, timely, and knowledgeable about tattooing. And the quality of the tattoo work is second to none. 💯

Didnt even bother to tell me that he was canceling. I Showed up. Nobody new anything.Wow. Unprofessional.

I’ve known Joe Tatum for many years. He does quality work for fair prices. The staff is clean and professional. Great group of people.

I love Big Cat, Emily has been tattoing me for over a year, amazing quality work and customer service! The shop is very clean, everyone is kind and funny.

Got 2 of my dream tattoos done today! Emily was awesome! Great aritist, fun to talk to and great atmosphere.

Clean shop. The owner is amazing. David will take great care of you. Emily is fantastic. The dopest in the area.

Really stellar shop with some amazing artists. Really amazing traditional work and super professional artists. Go get a tattoo, you won’t regret it!

I have gone to Joe for multiple pieces and I’m never disappointed! Great shop and great owners. No complaints!

I got tattooed by Joe in August and it was a WONDERFUL experience, everyone at the shop was very nice and had a great sense of humor . Now I have a great tattoo and a lovely memory!

The staff was friendly and Chris did a great job helping to design the perfect tattoo. Overall a great experience!

Clean as a shop comes, professional, amazing talent, I wouldn’t go anywhere else to be worked on. Hopeful for more years to come.
