Nathans Anthems Tattooing & Body Piercing

This is the only shop you should be getting pierced or tattooed out of in Redding. Joey and Billy’s work speaks for itself!
I’ve been to this shop twice and have gotten nothing but the most kind service.
The staff is knowledgeable and professional. Not to mention all of the beautiful Safe Products jewelry readily available! This place is a gem

If you’re looking for a quality piercing from a staff of people who genuinely care, this is the right place to go. Nichol did my industrial piercing about a week ago and it looks incredible. She took the time to make sure I had a great experience, answering all my questions, and making great conversation with me. She’s also followed up with me, asking how my piercing is doing. She is so personable and a great piercer. I recommend Nathan’s to anyone who mentions considering getting a piercing.

I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for a while but had no idea where to go. I asked around and almost everyone recommended Nathan’s. I was expecting a really intimidating environment but the lobby was nicely decorated and very cleaned. I was immediately greeted and helped by Nicole. I originally wanted a stud and then transition to a ring but she explained how the process could go better if I did the ring first. After filling out some paper work I only waited five minutes and was called back. The piercer was experienced and talked me through everything that he did. He was knowledgeable about diabetes and how it effects healing times. The piercing itself barely hurt which is a huge plus. I will definitely go back there again.

I love Nathan’s for many reasons. First and foremost their customer service goes above and beyond most tattoo shops in this town besides one other. I think they are very classy they have extensive jewelry and wonderful various hats. Nathan’s has set a great example for all other shops in this town.
Good job Nathan’s crew and don’t ever get rid of your good looking a peircers!!!

Every time I have gone in this parlor the staff turns down suggestions. They don’t let anyone get what they want.

The owner and employees here are so friendly and helpful. The shop is super cute. My sister in law had a spider bite piercing and it turned out great. They even helped us find a place closer to her house in case she needed any new jewelry ect.

I walked in with somewhat of an idea of what I wanted, the girl at the front desk helping me pick out a nose ring was extremely patient with my… Oh I don’t know. Can I see the other one again… and tony who put it in for me was gentile and professional. Great place, good energy, friendly staff.

Joey Haden pierced my nose and he was so helpful and eased me into it just fine! Felt just like «a hair getting plucked» outta my nose! I’m from San Diego and he was able to refer a place to me back home I can go to so I can get a follow-​up. Definitely will come back if I want more piercings!

talk about an awesome group of artist at Nathan’s anthems tattoos & piercing, its such a clean environment. Kelly did my tattoo and from the love and talent she has for her work i plan on coming back! her art work is awesome and she can do anything you want from big to small she is your gal!

Couldn’t be happier with my piercing experience. I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for years, but have been too chicken, afraid it would be outrageously painful. I checked out a couple other places in redding, and was underwhelmed with the customer service. Nathan’s was great. Nicole greeted me with a hello and big smile as soon as I walked in. She enthusiastically answered my many many questions, with Joey adding his 2c from the other room, never hesitating or grasping for an answer. I never once felt rushed, everyone was welcoming and professional. The facility is very neat and clean, with memorabilia everywhere. It has the feeling of an Old school neighborhood barber shop. Joey did my piercing, he was warm and friendly. He took time to explain positioning when I questioned him, and was clear about aftercare. The piercing itself was quick and virtually painless, much to my surprise. I was a big chicken for nothing! Super pleased with the experience. If you are a newbie and trying to pick a parlor, don’t even hesitate, pick this one. See you in four months for the other side ;)

I’ve gotten four piercings here and I love every one. The people are so friendly and very informative. Very professional and clean. They have also helped me with two infected piercings (from another place) and spent a lot of time making sure that I was taken care of even though it was not their mistake. I trust Nathan’s Anthems with all my piercings:)

I had both my tattoos and piercings done at Nathan’s and I love it! Ken is amazing and has a talent for tattooing! I would highly recommend anyone to go see him. He just did a complex piece on my leg and it turned out amazing! The shop is very friendly and clean. You get all the proper care there it’s worth it. I would never go anywhere else but there!

I love Nathan’s for Tattoos and Piercing! I have done both here. after going to another tattoo place in Redding for a tattoo and it coming out completely horrible– I went to Nathans and they fixed it up for me. I now have actual birds on the side of my hand and not ink spots. I just wish I would have come here in the first place.
Piercing: I got my tragus pierced and Joey was amazing! explained the whole process and I tell you it was pretty painless. He is VERY good. I went back a couple months later to have my tragus checked out and also the ring changed out and Billy helped me. He was so nice and helpful and even stayed open for me to get there.
This is the only place I will go from now on. All my friends that have gone here have had great experiences as well. And they stand behind their work.
If you have a problem its always good to talk to the business to see if they can fix the problem first before writing bad reviews.

I got a piercing at Nathan’s by Joey. He fit me in last minute without any complaints, and even though I came in last minute before closing, he didn’t rush the service, he was very informative throughout the process and was very encouraging despite my nerves! A few piercers that I have received piercings by have been rude or not as caring about the client. You can tell Joey loves what he does, he is extremely mindful of sanitation and cares about the person as well! This is by far the best piercer I have gone to and I would rate Joey 10 stars if I could!

My friend and I were in Redding for the day and decided to each get a piercing. We chose Nathan’s Anthems based on other Unilocal reviews.
Joey, the piercing guy, was very nice and explained the whole process as he was doing it for both my friend and i. He’s very knowledgeable and his work space in the shop was very clean and sterilized.
The shop itself was very clean and in order. I would definitely recommend this place for piercings.

Firstly, the man that does all the piercing is extremely polite, and he knows exactly what he’s talking about. Ken, the artist that did my tattoo was only nice to me when I gave him a hefty tip. He criticized the tattoo I wanted. He was late for the appointment, about thirty minutes I had to pay for. I’ll never go back here again.

WOST experience getting my first tattoo!!! First of all I should of walked out when sylvia told me I couldn’t get my tattoo where I wanted it on my ribs. She made me choose my back. She then made up the stencil and every word was correct and I approved it although I wanted smaller font. She made up a new stencil and put it on my back with out letting me see. I looked at it backwards with a mirror and everything looked correct! SHE FORGOT A LETTER WHILE GIVING ME THE TATTOO!!! I“M LIVID!!! Who forgets an E??? I talked to them about it and they wanted to put WHITE behind it to try to cover it up! Who in their right mind would do that as a tattoo artist??? That would make it look even worse and once the white faded it would have a ton of scarring! AWFUL. DO NOT GO HERE. She was so rude and didn’t even apologize about it and I was as nice as could be.

I’m not from the area so I forgot the name of who helped me, but i got my monroe piercing here. It was recommended to me by my cousin who sad everyone she knows get their stuff done here.
I had a wonderful experience, they were very helpful. The guy who pierced my lip was very respectful and because i was wearing a (knee length) dress he said that once i laid back in the chair he would stay near my head. He also gave me extra sea salt to take home and sold me a shorter for post when the swelling went down. The place was clean and I felt like i was in good hands.
Overall I would definitely recommend them or go to them again if i lived in the area.

My sister and I got our first tattoos here. We both got the same font, different spots and one word.
I was recommended Ken from a friend of mine who also got italicized font tattoos.
We came in to get an outline and Ken was luckily working that day. We chatted with him about his availability and he was only open that day. So we got our tattoos within the hour. It only took about ²⁰⁄₃₀ minutes for each of our tattoos.
Ken did both of our tattoos and did an amazing job. He was funny, friendly and also has at least 10 years of experience. We both had a fun experience altogether. I plan to come back for my next tattoo.
They really are one of the best in town! I highly recommend Nathan’s Anthems.

Absolutely terrible. Please save your money and don’t go here. My naïve «19» year old daughter went here to get her first tattoo this weekend. I was against her going here in the first place, because I know several people in the business. She was taken advantage of, he charged her almost 100.00 for a very weak looking heart/​peace sign and a deformed butterfly. The people I know in the industry never would have been satisfied with leaving such a shoddy tat on a young girl. He didn’t even give her a bit of color. Laser removal here we come. My poor girl was so excited about this too. People like this guy suck– hardcore!
