The internet does not seem to be a place where second chances are granted often. I entered the Fat Kat a bit worried, having read a lot of negative reviews on Nate. To my relief, his dedication to tattooing, creativity, and humor immediately became apparent as I entered. I think in general when getting a tattoo you cannot be too uptight and you have to with the flow. I definitly get the vibe that Nate once made it very difficult for his customers to go with the flow as a result of some demons he was dealing with. However, today he has made it very clear that he as evolved as a person and not going to let the past bring him down. He seems to have a new outlook on life as a whole and not planning on going anywhere any time soon, so all that is left to do is embrace his failures of the past and experience the new Nate. My tattoo may not be the most realistic scene, but the vibe is right and my experience of hanging out with Nate will last as long as the tattoo. Forever.

***Warning Graphic*** If I could give this place a zero star I would. I went to get my cartilage double pierced almost 2 months ago, and to start the terrible experience, the piercer messed up when piercing my top cartilage to where he pierced it and ripped the piercing back out with the clamp so he had to re-pierce it a SECOND TIME. Weeks later came to realize that he in fact never pierced the cartilage and only pierced my skin. Due to the thin piece of skin that he pierced my skin began to decay and the piercing RIPPED THROUGH MY EAR LEAVING IT DEFORMED. He fucked up not one but both of my piercings leaving a hole in my ear and extreme pain to follow. This place is trash and I will never go back there again for any of their services. If you want a fucked up ear then this is the place to go.

Nate is a really great dude, cares about his work a lot and tries to get better as he goes a long. Highly recommend

Nate is a nice guy , he has great ideas, but he CAN NOT tattoo. My tattoo is filled with senseless shading and crooked lines. I was horribly upset and will have to somehow get it covered up. Do not go to him despite good reviews.

Nate does A+ work. I wanted to get a few inspirational symbols tattooed on my face and he knocked it out of the park.

A couple months ago my friends and I decided we wanted to go get tattoos together. We planned ahead, my two friends decided on getting two larger tattoos and my boyfriend and I decided on two matching scripts that were a bit smaller. Our friends made their appointment we called the shop to try and make ours as well. I've gotten a tattoo before and know that they usually take down payments as well scheduling a time. Neither of these things happened, I pointed out that this was strange to me, but they told me I could just walk in and as long as it was with my friends they would take care of us. This did not happen either.
We drove from Long Branch NJ, got a hotel for two nights at Harrahs and showed up to our friends appointment with them. The artist that was available, Dan, finally decided to take us seriously now that we were in-front of him, accepted a $100 down payment (he wrote our information down ON THE MONEY itself...so weird and unprofessional... like, that was how he was going to call us back...?) told us to come in at 12pm the next day and we'd be taken care of.
Instead Dan stayed up till 6am with our other friends getting their tats done and never showed for ours.
The artist never showed... never called...never heard from him again... he stole our money because he wanted to prioritize a more expensive set of tats and knew we had to go back to Long Branch. Understandable, people gotta make money but... now the public will know what happened and hopefully this review will stop this shop from stealing from people. Luckily we are not in position that we are strapped for cash so we were able to shrug it off when the other artist told us Dan wasn't there and we weren't getting out money back.
We will never get art done here now and will suggest others to do the same.
My boyfriend and I ended up going to Inked Society down the street and got an AMAZING job done by Shawn. The team of artists there were very professional and communicative, I 100% suggest going there instead of Fat Kats if you are ever in AC and don't want to get lied to and stolen from :) - Johnny Z.Fontana, CA049/17/2021
This place was awesome I don't understand why it gets a bad rep please go in and see for yourself that this place isn't what the bad reviews make it out to be Nate is awesome.

I got this permanently, horrible, thing on my foot that Nate did. My friend and I wanted to get matching "compass" tattoos and this is the result. He didn't like our original ideas and decided to change it. I've been trying to make appointments anywhere to get this thing covered and I'm having ZERO luck. I made a poor judgment call when we walked in and saw this man tweaking and that he was running outside every five minutes doing whatever it was that he was doing. We shouldn't have gone in the first place. Lesson learned.
