Alexandra is amazing. She always takes her time and gives you her honest opinion. Gentle hand. I didn’t feel a thing. I will always go to her for any changes with my piercings or for new ones!
I haven’t had earrings in my (sensitive) lobes for over 10 years. Now I have a cute coordinated pair and I feel so pretty:). She put the jewelry in for me too which I appreciated. BY FAR the best selection. I went to so many jewelry and tattoo shops in the area and they were cool and nice, but if you want options?! This is your spot. I had hoped to avoid Etsy and Akenaton made it possible! Prices are perfectly fair. Will 1000% be returning and suggesting that others who visit the Orlando area do too. Conveniently located close to grocery store(s) and thrift shop(s) so fit a visit in while you’re running errands. I put service not listed because it was only a jewelry purchase, not an actual piercing. I absolutely would’ve gotten a piercing if I wasn’t visiting the ocean soon.
Hablan español también, ambas chicas fueron muy amables, muy profesionales, se realizó una perforación en las orejas (aretes regulares) y todo salió muy bien, buen precio, recomiendo perforarse aquí.
This was my first time getting a tattoo and I had an amazing experience! The shop had such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Everyone was professional, friendly, and took the time to guide me through my tattoo, I felt confident and informed. The place was also very clean and organized, which made the experience even better. I'm really happy with my tattoo and I would definitely come back again.
UPDATED AGAIN! 3/17/2026 - For this piece, there just isn't enough word! I am forever grateful to have walked into this extraordinary business and most importantly to have befriended such an amazing family. Eddie, Noemi, Alessandra and Valerie, you are all amazing! UPDATED 5/21/2025 - Eddie, owner operator of Akenaton Tattoo completely surpassed all of my expectations. I knew by the pictures in the reviews that my tattoo was going to be amazing however I couldn't have ever imagined just how truly breathtaking it would be!! What an incredible experience it is to watch Eddie do his work! Eddie's attention to even the smallest of detail is unparalleled! Eddie is a true master of his craft! An extraordinary talent doesn't even scratch the surface of his artisty. (I'm not even sure he realizes just how talented he is!) The moment you walk thru the door at Akenaton Tattoo as well as the Piercing studio, you will be welcomed with open arms and instantly feel like part of their family! For any piercing desires, go see one of his beautiful, and amazingly talented daughters Alessandra for that new peircing! I have recommended Alessandra before and I will recommend her over and over again! The apple does NOT fall far from the tree in this family, talent, creativity and amazing human spirit runs deep within all 4!! (I also recently had the pleasure of meeting Grandfather, sweet sweet sweet!) Do not scroll any further, if it's a beautiful new piercing or a show stopping tattoo you're searching for, I promise, go to Akenaton for an experience you will never forget! - ORIGINAL POST - Highly HIGHLY recommend! The establishment itself is very clean, welcoming and very fresh smelling. The artists are professional, knowledgeable, and very, very concise about your health and your healing. Alessandra will talk you through the entire piercing process, she is sooo detailed from start to finish. She is very thorough, gentle and calming. Alessandra goes above and beyond my expectations every time I walk through the door, and boy have I walked through the door since discovering Akenaton Tattoo! I'm always greeted with a warm friendly smile. I recieve top of the line service the ENITRE time that I'm there. I'm made to feel important throughout my entire experience, never being pushed aside for ANY thing, not even for an understandable "would you please excuse me for just a moment", to attend to something or someone else real quick. Genuinely caring people, the best humans you could ever meet, people you just want to be around!! Akenaton Tattoo has restored my faith in what a true customer experience should be. Every other business should take notes, the world would be a much better place if they did! Here is what we are working on, I LOVE it! And I'm so excited for my upcoming tattoo, with Eddie! Stay tuned...Thank you sweet sweet Alessandra and Akenaton Tattoo for being so amazing!
