Fatty's Tattoos & Piercings Dupont Circle

Brian was great! He was very professional and accommodating when we asked to make a couple tweaks to the design during the appointment. Everything was very clean and Brian made us feel very comfortable.

I had a great experience coming to Fatty's tattoo to get my first piercing, my tongue. Hannah Cherry was incredibly kind and accommodating to my nervousness. She didn't use a clamp when she pierced me and it took less that a couple seconds for the entire process. They had the best jewelry selection and I got a white opal ring I absolutely love. When I change the bar in 2 weeks I'll be able to keep the opal part which is great. It's been three days and my tongue still feels fine and is healing nicely. Pain was minimal and I was able to eat directly after. I am obsessed with it. Thanks, Hannah!

These guys are great. I was a bit worried as I am transgender and didn't know what to expect as far as treatment. They were very kind and used the proper pronouns which was important to me because I do not pass. They were also very discreet when my ID didn't match my presentation. This was my first time getting both of my ears pierced and the young lady that did the work was excellent. She could tell I was afraid and got me to relax and breath in a way that made it not too bad. I'm a big baby when it comes to needles, but I could do this again....at least with her. I will go back to her again for a second set of ear piercings once the ones I have now heal.

The ladies at the front desk were so kind and took time with me....even though they were very swamped with customers. When it was my turn...I got their full attention as did everyone else when it was their turn. I now know why they were so swamped....they are worth it. When I gather enough courage for a tattoo, this is where I'm going. Thank you Fatty's....much love to you. I can't say enough how great this place is.

I had an outstanding experience with my helix piercing, especially considering I was a walk-in. The front desk person was helpful and she managed the steady stream of clients nicely. The piercer (Danni) was helpful with placement and skilled piercing. This was my first piercing at this location but I'll definitely be back for future work.

Dani did an amazing job with my nostril piercings! She's patient and professional and very sweet. She's done all of my piercings and each visit has been incredible! Dani also educates the importance of quality, durable, and hypoallergenic metals. They sell titanium and precious metals.

I had only been here for piercings initially but when I decided to get my first tattoo I made an appointment here. I’ve since gotten two, one by Mikey and one by Hannah. Although both experiences were drastically different, both artists are very talented and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. I will continue to get work done here.

The customer service at DuPont was out-of-this-world great! My friend and I were so indesicive about which studs we wanted, and they treated us great the whole almost two hours that we were in there.

I didn't give five stars because of the price. Cost was $50 service fee for a pair of lobe piercings, $30 for an additional piercing (all ears), and the jewelry started at about $30 per stud. No jewelry is included in the price of the piercing, making a pair of regular earlobe piercings cost minimum of $100 plus tax & tip (I didn't get the bottom line studs so my earlobe holes were actually $165 plus t&t).

If you are looking for very attentive piercers who give honest answers about what piercings and jewelry will suit your body type, who are willing to let you debate with yourself for an hour about the trinity or the daisy, and who will treat you with respect the whole time, this is definitely the place to go. Just make sure you plan on spending quite a bit of money, for even basic piercings and jewelry.

Mikey has done tattoos for all my family, he is a great artist, very clean and awesome work. He creates masterpiece of all the tattoos that he works on. Would recommend him to anyone wanting great quality art.Very professional. Love his work.

I have been to Fatty's for two tattoos and 1 piercing, and I have to say that the entire staff is incredibly helpful, professional, and know their stuff. Fatty did my second tattoo and he took the time and care to make sure it was done incredibly well. His prices reflect his quality of work, and he and Gilda are both awesome tattooist.

Hannah, the Piercer is also amazing, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a a piercing. The jewelery is quality, and again, pure professional at her job.

Lastly, everyone takes seriously their job. Things are sterilized, cleaned, cleaned again, and taken care of. The shop is clean and well maintained. They take no chances with the health and safety of their customers. I have seen them tell customers things they don't want to hear, and tell them no, because it wasn't something that was safe, or could lead to infection. I think that speaks more than anything on their level of commitment to their professionalism.

Great group of people, great attitude (and yes, there is some sass there too, which is awesome) who put out a great, quality product again and again.

Best Tattoo place in the city, hands down.

I went to the Dupont Circle location yesterday as a walk in to get a rejecting dermal removed and a new dermal piercing. Danni was exceptional from start to finish. Very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The jewellery prices are definitely on the higher end. But glad I found her.
