I got my very first tattoo at Proton almost 15 years ago! But once you pop, you just can't stop and I've been back half a dozen times since. Dustin Hardcastle did most of my work, and I highly recommend him. Everything from delicate lilies on my back to a more traditional compass rose on my thigh. Chris May stepped in to do an addition to one of my tats when Dustin wasn't available and he is awesome, too. These guys are so great I brought in several friends, family members, and my eventual husband. Proton is a gem and Dekalb is lucky to have such a high quality shop.

Everyone in the shop is great. I got my first professional tattoo there and had a great experience as a walk in and was tattooed immediately. April is my favorite. she remembers you and checks up on your work the next time you come in. she also knows just how to get my image right exactly every time! i’ve gotten my nose piercing and had a great experience with Mike Gear as well. he did my placement great and pierced with good quality jewelry that i still like to use sometimes. everything has healed very well with instructions from each artist.

Had a cover up with a shoulder custom design Chris created and applied. Great work, he was able to complete in one sitting and still looks amazing. Look forward to having more work done and add on to eventually complete a sleeve. Thanks Proton Tattoo!!!! And thanks to Chris.

Got both my daith piercings done here a few months apart and they’re perfect! Mike is the best! He was super easy to talk to and highly experienced. Patiently answered all my questions and never tried to up-sell me.

I've been tattooed at Proton several times. Each tattoo has been a lovely experience. The shop is clean and organized, the staff is wonderful, and the talent is present. I'm proud to be wearing Proton ink.

I had a great experience at Proton! They did my first and second tattoos in 2013 and 2014. They were kind and calm during my tattoos. And when I told them that it was my first, they were great about walking me through everything they were doing to make sure I was okay and comfortable. I’ve been wanting to go back and get another tattoo from them for years. I just haven’t had the time or money! Hopefully in the future I can return to them for all future tattoos because the ones I got that weren’t from them, aren’t as great! I highly recommend proton for their kindness and professionalism! :)

I have only used Proton since moving to the area for all my inking needs. Chris has done 2 amazing cover ups for me, as well as a memorial paw-print. I had other artists complete other tattoos for me as well. This is the only place I suggest to friends.

Loved the atmosphere of proton tattoo. April High was my artist she did a fantastic job. Can't wait for More tattoos and piercings in the new shop across the street from the old store..
