This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a tattoo shop! I walked in on a Saturday and I got my septum pierced quickly and easily.
I was really pleased with the shop. This place is clean, they showed me great customer service and it was very professionally managed. I would definitely recommend this location!

This is my second time at Mad Ethel's but my first experience with Paul Black and I can't say enough good things about both the business and the artist. Their new shop is really nice, clean, open and comfortable. The staff was very friendly upon check in as well. Paul is a very talented artist and was able to combine my varied ideas into one beautiful and meaningful piece of art. I will definitely be back for any future ink I decide to get.

Bradde is one of the nicest people I've met. Incredibly thorough describing the piercing process and importance of aftercare. Will be a customer as long as I live in the RDU area.

Fantastic place for piercings; Bradde is an expert at the craft and super helpful when it comes to making the right choice for both piercing location and jewelry style.

Mad Ethel’s exceeded my expectations. Everyone at the shop is very friendly and welcoming and are excellent at tattooing. I have been looking for someone to do a tattoo of my Doberman and my search ended with Paul. He absolutely killed it! I have received so many compliments and have had people asking for the name of the shop and tattooist.

After reading these amazing reviews, I took my 6 year old daughter to Mad Ethel’s to get her first ear piercings and I’m SO HAPPY I did! Bradde is a literal saint. He is so experienced, funny, patient, and cool. Honestly, he could have been a 1st grade teacher! My daughter wasn’t too nervous as she didn’t really know what the piercing would entail, but Bradde made sure to talk to her and crack some silly jokes to keep her distracted enough to not freak out that a needle was going through her ear. To this day, my daughter still laughs about “Silly Mr. Bradde’s” jokes including the most popular one-liner that I hear at least once a week, “Don’t worry, I’ll be done before you have enough time to say, ‘Mr. Bradde, I hate you!’
When the piercing was done, my daughter got to ring the “first timers” bell and got high-fives from all of the tattoo and piercing artists working that day who were all impressed that she didn’t even shed a tear! Bradde then gave us a little instruction packet on how to keep her piercings from getting infected and asked us to keep in touch (which we did a few weeks later when we had to take my daughter’s earrings out for her first soccer game, lost them in the grass, and had to go back up for help getting some new studs back in the next day 🤦🏼♀️. But again, Bradde was super kind and helpful!)
Bottom line, if you need a piercing done, please go see Bradde, he’s awesome.
(BTW: If you’re taking your child DON’T FORGET THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!! Learned that the hard way…lol)

I was really impressed with my visit today. First was the fact that they were even open on a Sunday and willing to accommodate a walk-in. The Receptionist was friendly and professional. Facilities were clean. Justin, the piercer, was AWESOME! He was professional, sanitary, and knowledgeable. I was nervous about a nose piercing but he was patient and answered all of my questions. He made sure the placement was good and the piercing itself was over in moments. This is my 9th piercing and he's the best I've had. If I ever decide to do another piercing, I would definitely go back to him!
Update: A week after my nose piecing and I've felt no pain. It's healing nicely, and it hasn't been tender at all. Still singing Justin's praises!

Ashley was great! Her positive attitude made my daughter’s birthday piercing feel like an extra celebration. She helped my indecisive teenager decide on the right jewelry for her rook piercing and my tragus was quick and painless! Clean, friendly and very professional, we will be back for piercings!

Mad Ethel's sponsored one of my scavenger hunts. Their contribution to the gift baskets was beyond generous. In addition, they were easy to work. I can tell by how they interacted with me, they have a very caring business. In addition, their tattoo art rocks!
