I went in to get my septum pierced and the piercer was amazing. I forgot her name, but she was super nice and quick. I was super wary of getting any piercings, but my nose is healing great, no irritation from the metal at all. I cant wait to go back 😌
Nick was awesome! My tattoo came out better than I envisioned. Nick took his time & has a great eye for detail. I highly recommend Carnivale Tattoo.
Kai was amazing! I have been wanting my septum pierced for a long time but have been scared. She made the experience so nice and painless! Highly recommend her!!!Now on to the tattoo! Elora was great! She treated me and my friends like we have known her forever! Super professional and I love my little tattoo!To sum it up…..go to this tattoo shop! They are literally amazing and made us all so comfortable! The shop is also hella cool!
Everything was fine but $80 for a basic ear lobe piercing is absurd. No choice on the earrings used and they are stainless steel.
My artist was Faron and he absolutely killed it! Excellent customer service and equally amazing skills! This is the place to go.
Very good customer service and kind people. Good pricing and fast but good work
I was very fortunate that one of the employees from this tattoo shop told me to try this place out !! I got a very large piece on the fleshy part of my arm and armpit, my artist was Nathan and he did a very good job. It barely hurt and the healing process was so easy. One employee stood out as well! Jewel was very helpful in setting up my appointment, she was quick to show me who my artist was, she was there to help me with literally anything i needed and it was all so quick ! I was very appreciative.
I feel so bad for the poor souls who work here. They work so hard and are so nice yet so many people think they have the entitlement to demand to get tattoos on the spot. I was there yesterday and got the most adorable little nose piercing and so many people tried coming in as a I waited to get themselves tattooed. The weird part is they don’t understand 1. We are in a pandemic, at least call first. 2. Getting a detailed tattoo takes time and they can’t just drop whatever they’re doing to appease you.We are lucky and gracious to have been able to be taken in for our piercings. We were treated well and it was a beautiful day outside as we waited. The staff is super nice and lovely. If you see any negative reviews, it’s almost exclusively Karens and entitled people thinking they deserve their business. No one deserves anything from these people, you’re given a privilege by being worked on by them. Be grateful. I am. And I will come back, if they choose to have me.
This place is absolutely amazing. i got my conch repierced and my third lobes done and the people there were so caring. i highly recommend goblin for all ear piercings. i will definitely be coming back :)
My friend & I went for ear piercings. I had my conch done. Jewel was absolutely AMAZING!!! so professional & personal. will definitely be going back to her for all of my piercing needs!
Got my nose ring. Great service not to busy on Sunday
I could not find a good shop here on the coast that I liked and was about to give up and go out of state. I found Carnivale about a month ago and I can say with confidence that I finally found my go to gulf coast shop! All of the guys and gals there are awesome! Faron has done two tattoos for me so far and they are awesome! I will be continuing to go to Carnivale for everything! You guys are awesome!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Carnivale Tattoo is a phenomenal tattoo/ Piercing Shop. Getting my septum done was my first body piercing ever aside from my ears, and I’m not gonna lie, I was nervous as hell. But there are great piercers there like Kala, who is not only professional at what she does and loves it, but makes anyone that’s getting a piercing done feel welcome, and I appreciate that. Their pricing is also very fair and getting any type of body piercing is 100% worth it (:Remember, if f you go please ask for Kala and say Miguel Sent you ♥️
Profesional and clean. Excellent work.
I came in for a pierce not so long ago, possibly a month ago to get my nose pierced. It was very standard pierce but a pierce non the less. Kay was so awesome and had amazing confidence! Her work was very professional and was quick and clean! I will always request her if I decide to have another pierce!
I came in on vacation to get a permanent souvenir. I was worried about getting in so last minute but the artist Faron ONeil worked really hard to help fit me in. he was my tattoo artist and he not only gave me a reasonable price I could work with, but he showed the upmost excitement and care towards my tattoo. ive been to a few places where artists make you feel like a burden for being there but that was the opposite with him. Id recommend him to anyone looking for new ink. I love mine and the experience with him made it 10x better.
Outstanding shop! Great artists, super talented and professional. I love my tattoo; I only wish I was around longer to get more. Shay did my work and even does free touch ups. Of my 8 tattoos (3 big ones) this is one of my favorites so far
My fiance and I both got piercings here. It was clean, professional, and a great price. I LOVE the decor! Staff is super nice!
Im rocking my new nose ring, Yahh heard me. 😎
Had the best experience ever with jewel!! I love my piercing so much and am definitely coming back for more!
Got my ear curated by kai. she was amazing, walked me through it all and was very patient and just overall a fantastic artist. all the girls were super nice too. the vibe was ugh amazing. love love LOVESSSS the energy. i’m def coming back 100/10 recommend.
Piercings: ShirleyTattoos: Matt K.In love with everything I’ve ever done with those two. Matt has been my artist for years now. He does all of my work. Shirley is incredibly kind. She’s very helpful if there are questions during the healing phase.
I had an awesome experience for my first tattoo. Came in with some references but dont exactly have a clue on the official design. Nathan really executed on how I wanted it to look like. He also made it look better than I had imagined. The line work is clean and crisp and I cant wait to go back for more!Shirley also does my piercings and she has been amazing to work with!
Awesome experience! Amazing friendly staff! Definitely have already recommended to my friends! Great job guys!
I went to Shay to get a memorial tattoo. I got two small butterflies. To say she did an amazing job would be an understatement. She was the best tattoo artist I’ve ever gone to. She was professional, a joy to be around, and most importantly, she did an amazing tribute to my brother and sister that had to leave this earth too early. I’m proud to say this tattoo is a memorial for them because of the work Shay did. Five stars.
The piercers were super cool and patient (especially kay) about answering the many questions I had about my piercing and aftercare!! 10/10 would recommend!
Great artist at this location and clean space very professional
Me and my husband got each others initials on our wedding ring fingers. Patrick designed my husbands tattoo on the spot and we loved it. If we were here for longer wed definitely get more work done here. Everyone was super friendly and the shop itself was super clean.
Kay is an absolute angel. Very professional, patient, and comforting! Only piercer on the coast I’ll go to!
Might have to wait if appointment is not scheduled Being that they are Busy most times! Piercer is awesome! Well so I thought until about a week later now its hanging out of my head🤔🤔🤔!!!🤢😡 dont know when I will Be Back in Biloxi! Guess Ill remove it myself..... dont know about tattoos here piercing is terrible she took forever to get it in and I Bled WAY too much knew then something was WRONG! Had this same piercing in 2017 took out 2019 may as well left it out!!!!!
A friend and I decided on getting some tattoos so we wanted to get them done at this particular shop. When we walked up to the door a gentleman approached us asking if we were getting piercings or tattoos. We told him tattoos and then he proceeded to ask us what kinds and for a picture. All of that was fine but then he said he will have to go next door to the restaurant, since the artist were out eating, without knowledge of placement or size. The gentleman came back saying the tattoo would be $120-$140. It is disappointing to see that an artist that isn’t willing to speak with customers but charge way more for a tattoo without the knowledge of placement not size. Very disappointed.
I recommend Jack and Diane! Everytime I speak to an artist they have attitudes. If youre not going to be a friendly, welcoming person youre in the wrong profession. Its extremely small as well.
Patrick did an awesome job on a simple flash adding to my full sleeve. He put his own touches on it with the shadow and coloring. Already made another appointment.
Called and was told to come on in and I could talk to an artist about a future tattoo. After driving 30 minutes to do this, my wife and I were turned away at the door by some girl saying that the artists only discuss through Instagram and we cannot talk in person.
Best artist and nose piercing ever!
Goblin i will never ever get another!!!!! You made my moms experience awesome and everyone of mine!!!!!! I love you you amazing wonderful artful creature!!!!! Xos!!!!!
Nathan is an awesome young tattoo artist. Extremely professional and very clean. Would recommend him highly. Great experience and will be going back..
Great Staff and Professional as it gets!!!
Shirley is an amazing piercer, and her apprentice, Jewel (hope I remembered that right) is also! Great service, felt like home! 10/10
Jewel is awesome ☺️ Very helpful!
All my piercings were done here, love the atmosphere and the people. 10/10 would reccomend!
One of the best shops on the coast. Staff is always very nice, cool artist. Every time I go it’s a great experience!
Matt is AMAZING! He is so damn good at his art it is ridiculous. I moved here from New Orleans two years ago and just happened to find the shop and decided to try it out. Matt had an opening and I went for it. His work is impeccable and any touch-ups that need to be made after healing he is happy to take care of. Everyone in the shop is friendly and willing to help out in any way. The way the team gets along with one another is so awesome! Matt has done 3 pieces on me and I am no where close to stopping!There was one night I was in there with no one with me, waiting to get a piece done. There was a rowdy customer and one of the guys (I wish I knew his name), came to check on me to make sure the rowdy guy wasnt giving me any problems. It was a very simple act of kindness that you normally dont get at other tattoo shops.Great job Matt and Carnival Tattoos. I will be a long time customer and will always recommend you!
Went for dermal piercing. Was put in crooked. Piercer let me walk out with it not right. Not cool. I noticed right away it was wrong. She was nice enough and did other piercings decently. I’d just never recommend getting a dermal there. Went it got it fixed/redone at a different shop.
These are awesome folks, when I get a tat, it will only be at Carnivale.
Awesome staff! Beautiful work!! Love these people ❤
I was so astounded by the atmosphere, environment, service and talent at Carnivale after getting a tattoo from Matt K that I returned the next day for another. I could NOT be happier with the work he did and the experience I had. I now have two new, beautifully done, meticulously worked on and fairly priced pieces of art that I adore. Matt takes his job very seriously and works to make sure his clientele are in love with their new art. 10/10 would recommend.Edited to add: more than a year later, I get sooooooo many compliments on my shoulder cap lotus mandala. People ask all the time where I got it, and then are disappointed when I tell them Mississippi and not somewhere local. Still in love with my Matt K pieces!Edit #2: Matt has opened his own studio in Gulfport, Good Cat Tattoo
Amazing staff very safe and clean great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 will be back.
Great artists, very Covid compliant!! Shay is really talented and super friendly!!
@stabbedbyshirley is amazing. Very quick and extremely knowledgeable. Great customer service. Will continue to use my piercing needs.
I have been to Carnivale for two tattoos and 1 peircing, all 3 done by different people. I have never been to a more diverse and inclusive place of business. They are immensely friendly and thorough with their work. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get new art on their body whether it be peircing or tattoos.
Shirley is amazing, they are all very professional It was so quick I had my septum and my right nostril pierced totally recommend Shirley go get stabbed by Shirley shes the best
The staff is extremely friendly and professional. Very welcoming and extremely, fairly priced! Nathan is great and did a wonderful job on our tattoos.
Great place to get a tattoo or piercing, very friendly staff.
Clean, organized, and follow Covid state and federal guidelines.
Not from here but definitely an awesome experience! Staff is great and the service was great too! Definitely recommend for anyone😁
Absolutely great experience! The piercer is efficient and clean, very calming. All of the tattoo artists are very kind and attentive. Jessica has done amazing art on me and I always get compliments on her work! The lines are clean and the color is vibrant. Definitely recommend!
I’ve gotten almost all of my tattoos from here and have always been satisfied with the quality. The Rose that Shay did on my hand is by far one of my favorite. The time and attention to detail she put into made for a beautiful piece. I will definitely be a repeat customer for her and can’t wait to see more of her work!
Kala S. was quick and accurate with the piercings. She made it a very comfortable environment. I’m definitely going to her to do my piercings from now on!
Very nice staff. Does good work. Super clean. LOVE THE MUSIC CHOICE :) Thank you so much Shirley!! She pierced my belly button. So in love with her work!!
My friend just got work done there awesome work and price
Came back 3 separate times as instructed and was told to just come back the next day. Absolute dog water.
Very clean and professional shop, with friendly staff, Ive gotten two tats from Kaitlyn there now and I couldnt be happier with them.
I enjoyed my experience getting a Monroe piercing. The place was clean and had a relaxing, friendly and clean atmosphere. The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Shirley did a awesome job and I love my piercing!!!
My mother and I have both gotten tattoos done here by Nathan! He was funny and made me feel comfortable immediately. Would totally recommend this place for a piercing or tattoo.
I went in yesterday to see Shirley for a VCH piercing. She was very friendly and an amazing piercer! I was very nervous but Shirley put me at ease, talked me through the entire process of the piercing and the aftercare instructions. I would highly recommend going to see Shirley for any of your piercing needs because she knows what she’s doing. I’ll definitely be back to see her! The shop itself was clean and I was immediately greeted by Shirley and one other person when I walked through the door.
Honestly, this place is probably the best on the coast. Just got my first non-ear piercing from a worker named Katy.....Awesome!!! She’s like super and chill and honestly welcoming and made the process calming and painless for me and my friend. The whole just hands down awesome!!!😘
Great place for tattoos and piercings. Great staff
Exceptionally customer service experience was amazing
One of my favorite shops to come to. Everyone is very nice, very professional and excellent at their jobs. Ive gotten multiplied tattoos here and gotten pierced here and Im always happy with my results :)
I didn’t catch the piercers name but she is awesome!! Highly recommend.
I’ve been getting tattoos from Carnival for the past couple of years and I love them all. I drive from Tuscaloosa every year for a girls trip and we stop in for a tattoo.Faron O’Neil tattooed me this year and it’s my favorite of all of my tattoos. Faron has a gentle hand and I literally almost fell asleep during my tattoo! I’ll be back to see him next year, and maybe sooner if I can swing it!I also got my nose pierced by Shirley and she did an awesome job! Shirley looks at where you want your piercing and gives great profession advice. If the area you want your piercing isn’t right (won’t heal well, you don’t have enough room for what you want, etc.) she’ll tell you.Carnival is a super fun environment and everyone is nice and friendly. You can spend hours looking around and not get bored. Every time I’ve been in the shop it’s been very clean and they clean continuously while you’re there. Every artist is honest and will tell you if something won’t look, heal, last, or work well where you want it. I value their expertise and willingness to provide this information. I’m putting something permanent on my body and I want to be sure it looks and heals the best that it can.
Great service from all the staff greeting us and while we waited. Matt was great with art work and quality of work. He is part of our family vacation memories. Quality work, couldn’t be happier. Thank you all!
This is the second time Ive been to this shop and I absolutely love it! The first time was to get some ink. I came in today to get pierced. Ive wanted my nips pierced for years but Ive always been afraid. I went in tonight and met this wonderful lady named Shirley. Not only did she make me feel comfortable being half naked in the piercing booth, but she was the most caring and friendly piercer Ive ever encountered. If I could give this place a 10 star I would! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.
Everyone is so nice there. I was getting my first tattoo and the person who did it was amazing. The lines are neat and it was a great price
Three of my friends and I walked in together for small pieces. We were helped quickly, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We all walked out with crisp, quick tattoos. Thank you, Carnivale!
Just had color added to my black and white piece I had done in memorial to my fiance. Cant say enough good things about this shop or how happy I am with how it turned out. Special thanks to my artist Nathan who is super nice and professional in addition to being an amazing, talented artist.
Loved the atmosphere in this place! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and decided to check Carnivale out for tattoos. Our experience was more than amazing! Nathan went above and beyond in doing our designs. We highly recommend Carnivale and Nathan if youre ever in the area!
Got my first tattoo here on a girls trip with my mom and sister. Super cool environment, very clean, and Matt was so patient with me as a first timer. He spent extra time to make sure I was comfortable and the tattoo turned out amazing. Will definitely be back!
Finished my first session of my half sleeve today. I’ll admit I was a little nervous at first when my partner told me we were getting tattooed by an apprentice but once I saw the hand tattoo she did for him I was hella excited. The attention to detail and quality Shay puts into her work is exceptional and I cannot wait for our next session!
Awesome place.. great staff. I got a tattoo by Mick and he did an amazing job. 5 star experience hands down
I love Carnivale! Today I’m getting my second piercing and third tattoo from this shop. They are always super friendly and the shop looks awesome. Go here for all your tattoo and piercing needs!!!
Really awesome people! Really awesome work! I recommend them to everyone. Just be prepared to wanna come back for more!!
Came in today and got my belly button pierced. Shirley did the piercing perfectly! She was so sweet and quick! Will definitely come back! Love this place
Pat Duvale did an amazing job and he put up with me and my first Tattoo. I will surely be back to see him.
I came in with a very special request, a memorial tattoo for my friend. I wanted her exact tattoos she had on her fingers. MATT NAILED THEM PERFECTLY. I am overly obsessed with them, they couldn’t be more perfect. Thanks so so so so much 😭🖤
Ive had 2 tattoo done here by Matt K, and absolutely love them. He does awesome work! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The shop is very clean and comfortable. There is no other place I would go! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality tattoo and/or piercing!
I HIGHLY Recommend This Place, ESPECIALLY Cory. He Was Fast, Gentle, And Very Funny. He Did A Beautiful Job For My Sister And I. Thank You So Much Carnivale And A HUGE THANK YOU To Cory. 😁
Cory is an amazing artist! super chill and just a nice guy. tattoo was flawless! will be coming back for all of my tattoos
