Welcome to Gaia! ::

I live in the Atlanta area, a lucky stone's throw away from a VERY well renowned tattoo and piercing parlor by the name of All or Nothing. The owner, many of the artists, and the shop its self have won countless awards for their skills, however I have some concerns.
A well trusted friend of mine (who has had most of her work don at AON) has shed some doubts on their reputation and it left me wondering: is All or Nothing still the world renowned shop it once was, or is it just resting on its laurels?

Any input from anyone who has had experience with AON or the following artists would be appreciated. I plan on getting both of my nipples pierced on either the 19 or the 20 of this month.

Artists at AON:

Brandon Bond
Albie Rock
Dave Tedder
Jace Masula
Joe Waulken
Tim Orth
Chris Vennekamp
Short
Vince Villalvazo
Matt Dunlap
John Lloyd
Bryan Reynolds
Max Brand (piercer)

Well my friend's main comment was that Brandon Bond changes his artist lineup like I change underwear so on never knows who's gonna be working for him from one week to the next.

You can give it a try. I think most piercings and tattoo artists that get a crazy reputation go on "rock star" mode for awhile and sometimes they fizzle out because all their not so good work comes to light as well. Sometimes they are getting away with showing the one out of three that worked out.
Anyway...
You're just getting pierced so just see if Max is going what you like?

I stopped in to leave the question, then things got busy before I could check in. And at this point I've lost the money for the piercings (it went to a much nobler cause: medicine for my boyfriend) and my money will be tied up for a while. I appreciate the opinion, and I think I'm still gonna go with that shop. Mainly because I know they at least had an impeccable reputation, and don't know anyone with a better one.
