Tattoo Factory of Hickory Reviews:
Great family friendly tattoo + piercing place! I took my daughter to get her ears pierced and our time at the Tattoo Factory was so great. There's some arcade games and couches for a very family friendly/laid back vibe. Anthony made my daughter feel comfortable and calm while getting her piercings. Definitely recommend!
I wanted a tattoo for my birthday that is this week, so I went in today for it as a walk in. My tattoo looks absolutely gorgeous! Anthony did an incredible job! I highly recommend him.
I came in for a nose piercing yesterday. I was a walk in appointment and they got me in and out within 30 minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful. My piercer, Anthony, was also very good. This was my first piercing aside from my ears, so I was nervous, but he was very understanding and walked me through it. The place was clean and had a nice setup. It was only $20 so it was also very cheap. Overall, I enjoyed my experience.
We have always had amazing experiences here. We have had several different artists and all of them have been wonderful. Very clean, great price, and they checked id which as a mom that is important to me. My kiddo just turned 18, but they didn’t know that. I appreciate all they do. We only go here now.
I got a tattoo done yesterday, it’s Taz from Looney Tunes as a mechanic. It came out really awesome. The shading and color really pops. Also very cool artist and staff. It was an overall 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for more in the future!
Justin is absolutely amazing. Super friendly guy and so well rounded. Absolutely recommend him 100%. He was amazing piercing my 13 year old daughters nose.
