Excellent! I've been comparing tattoo/piercing shops around Athens for a while and decided on Pain and Wonder for getting my 3rd holes in my earlobes and a helix piercing. The staff are very friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in, even if there are several other costumers in the front already. Bato, one of the piercers, is top notch! He answered all my questions thoroughly and it was clear he knew his stuff. I'm prone to fainting and have been horrible with needles in the past, but he helped me feel super comfortable during the piercing process. I will definitely be returning for more piercings in the future, and a possible tattoo or two! Lastly, the shop has a wide selection of jewelry at varies prices, and I was able to pick out a stunning combo at a great price ($140 for 3 piercings and jewelry). Awesome place and staff!!

Came here for the first time after looking up piercers on the APP site and found them listed near me. Came in and they have a decent selection of jewelry, and not cheap stuff either. Nice quality from BVLA (my favorite) and several other good brands. Randy (I think that was his name) had a lot of patience showing me what I picked out and telling me prices of each one I looked at. Randy was cool and laid back. I had my helix done and it was quick, perfect placement and it looks great! No issues with healing so far. Already looking forward to going back and seeing if they have something something I can swap my daith jewelry out for. Their prices are fair, I think he said it was $25 to pierce (ears), plus the price of whatever jewelry you pick out. I think I paid grand total $225. Remember folks, good piercings aren’t cheap and cheap piercings aren’t good. Looking forward to going back to eventually make my helix a triple.

JP did my tattoo and he was the kindest artist I've had to date. He makes sure you are comfortable and not afraid to ask questions. Of course his work is beautiful as well. Would 100% recommend.

I've been to Pain and Wonder on numerous occasions to get tattoos from Mike. I've never been disappointed in the quality of the work, environment or staff. I always feel welcomed and comfortable when I walk in. The pricing is more than fair for the standard of work recieved and i love all the pieces I've gotten. I will continue to use this studio as long as I'm in Athens.

I had a great experience getting my ears pierced by Bato! He was very kind, and was sure to check in periodically to make sure I was informed and doing okay throughout the process. In addition to the great piercing job itself, he was really good about explaining all the necessary steps to treat them afterwards so they heal properly and don't get infected. Would highly recommend!

The customer service is amazing, the atmosphere was perfect, and the piercer, Bato, did a fantastic job! He was so professional and calmed my nerves. My husband and I both got pierced by him and would definitely recommend! I will be back soon for the other piercings I want and my first tattoo! 😍

Wow! I got a navel piercing done here and I honestly don’t know how the experience could have gone better! The place was clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and very professional and competent. The procedure itself was short and honestly anticlimactic and I feel very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get any kind of piercings or tattoos done.

I've only ever had the best experience here. Randy has done 2 of my piercings and he makes it as easy and painless as possible. Everyone there is friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very comfortable. Best piercing experience I've ever had!

I just got two piercings here from Randy Smyre, and I could not be happier. The studio was clean and welcoming, and Randy was very kind and professional. I’ll absolutely be coming back here in the future.

Phenomenal shop. I've gotten a VCH and nipple piercings here- been pierced by both Randy and Bato and each of them are extremely professional, informative, and overall have excellent bedside manner. Piercing placement was flawless. These guys are APP certified for a reason, definitely hit up P&W for all your piercing needs!
