My experience was 10/10 I went during a Friday the 13th flash sale event and the line was rather long but I was seen fairly quickly. My tattoo was not drawn by the artist who tattooed me however the David did an amazing job at capturing this tattoo for me and I even requested a change of lettering and sizing and was able to do that during a sale event which was amazing. I highly recommend this place and will be back for more art in the future
Got my first piercing here, had a very adverse reaction to it and ended up having what ended up being a mild seizure in the chair. Justin was fantastic in helping me through it, helping me not be as embarrassed, and coaching me through finishing the piercing. Fantastic quick service, great quality jewelry, and his aftercare instructions were fantastic. If I were to get another piercing I would go here, 12/10. Would give 6 stars if I could.
Took my daughter took her her belly pierced and she loves it. The people are really nice and informative. The guy that pierced her was a little cocky but still really cool. He said if there was any swelling in the next 2weeks bring her in and they would switch out her bar for a longer one no charge. We actually just got back from doing that yesterday. He got it changed with very little pain and now she is on the road to healing. Pricing wasnt bad either $49 total
My cousin and I visited this shop on a whim. The shop is absolutely beautiful, clean and organized. They were also very welcoming and kind. The young man behind the counter was so helpful with helping us pick out the jewelry that we wanted for our piercings. Our Piercer, Mel, is on point! I know this is crazy but Im on day two of my piercing and it does not hurt at all. She did a wonderful job. If you want something pierced and you have anxiety about it please go see Mel at Body Tech❤️
I got my first piercing here and Mel pierced my nose. She did so good. I ended up losing the ball on my nose piercing so they gave me a clip piercing so it was easy to put in whenever I need to. Then I ended up losing that piercing so after awhile of not having a piercing I went back for my birthday first tattoo (done by Cody who I reccomend along with Mel) and Mel repierced my nose so well there’s not even a second hole! I really wanna shoutout these two!
My wife and I have well over a dozen tattoos from Lizzi. She is the absolute best! Her photos will show you that.This place is extremely clean and everyone who works there is super kind. The owners are also awesome and always are around the shop helping out. Best spot in GNV no doubt!
Came here all the time for my piercings before I moved. Jewelry was high quality, and everyone is very helpful. I was always happy coming in here, everyone had a great personality and I enjoyed talking to them. I will miss this place for sure!
Had a great overall experience at Bodytech. I would see the owner regularly walking around looking at the overall work of the tattoo artists which showed me he cares about the artists he hires and the quality of work that comes out of his shop. The overall staff was friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. Without a doubt what made my experience unbelievable was my tattoo artist Lizzii. I came in with a picture of what I thought I wanted and came out with a custom one of a kind tattoo. Lizzii explained the process, asked what was important to me, recommended how we could make the tattoo better as far as size and placement. In short, with her experience, talent and execution my tattoo is more than I could have dreamed. Best shop, unbelievable artist - thank you Bodytech for an unforgettable experience.
I. Love. This. Place! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming and Im 100% coming back for all my future tattoo plans :) Jeremiah, Josiah, and Hori did some of my favorites
I Love my tattoo! Cody is amazing! , This is the second tattoo he’s done. He’s very professional and takes his time!
Love all the techs here they are always so helpful and very informative. Will be back for more ink and piercings very soon.Steve did an amazing job on my tattoo. He was addressed all my concerns and made me feel so comfortable. I love my new ink so freaking much.Sarah is helping me with a tattoo removal and she was so friendly. I didn’t even feel the tattoo removal I was in and out in approximately 5 minutes. It was quick and truly painless.Bodytech rocks the staff here are amazing and make you feel like family.
My husband and I got matching tattoos today, both of which were our firsts, Josiah was phenomenal! He talked us through it all throughly and he was super patient and clean. He was also friendly and nice to chat with through the process. Definitely a great experience and we’re already looking forward to going back again.
I went there a while ago for an ear piercing. My dad got many tattoos there, and my brother got a tongue piercing at the same place. My dad and other patrons had some bad experiences with a staff member called Justin, as he either didnt do what was requested or flirted with my dads wives. (Different wives at different times) But Ive had a good experience there, just avoid Justin.
I had a very pleasant experience! I called before hand on a Saturday afternoon to see if I could make an appointment for a piercing later that day. The receptionist was friendly and told me I could just walk-in! The process of checking in and filling out paperwork was quick and easy. I didn’t wait long at all and got to appreciate all the wall art in the waiting room. Justin was really nice and made sure I was comfortable while I got my second lobes done. The room is very clean and he is very professional. It’s cash only and they have an ATM inside. I highly recommend Bodytech :)
We got my childs nose pierced. Staff was great with explaining everything. Justin was very professional and did a great job. I highly recommend body tech.
After applying the stencil, I’d asked for a slight change & got pressured into keeping the placement. I should have walked out but I’d already given a deposit. This was a few years ago but after being tattooed a few other places I’m really disappointed at the service I’d received.
Walked in for a nose piercing. Everyone was very nice, and I was seen promptly. Definitely a quality experience. Thank you to Justin for the piercing!
I got my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th piercing here as well as my tattoo. They are amazing every time with wonderful patience and very professional! Super understanding workers here.
DO NOT COME HERE!!!! The piercer I got didn’t bother to tell me that I didn’t have the right anatomy for a belly piercing (i found this out myself after one year of constant irritation/infection), she didn’t even pierce it straight (it was lopsided) and now I have to get it removed and may have a scar there forever. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!!!!!!! I cannot empathize this enough.
Service was great. It was very busy when I went to schedule for my tattoo. But was greeted nicely and took time with me to explain what kind of tattoo I was looking for.My artist was Cody. He was awesome. Took his time with me and gave me exactly what I was looking for. He was also amazing in conversation. I left extremely happy and will definitely be back for some more ink!
First time getting a tattoo and cody did it. He did awesome and made me feel comfortable, very good at what he does. I would definitely come here again!
Just got my first belly piercing here today! It went super quick and smoothly. The lady doing it was wonderful, she talked me through it the entire time. She was nice and funny. It was done in a few seconds, didnt really hurt too much. She gave me all the aftercare info I needed, it was sanitary and the staff were sweet. Just an easy and nice experience overall. (Thank you Mel!!)
My husband and I went in to get matching tattoos. We had a great experience. Hori was kind and professional. We told her our idea for the tattoo and she drew something up. I tried not to be a cry baby, but I made her do frequent stops for pain. She was so understanding. If I can find the courage, Ill go back to and have her do a couple more.
Got my first tattoo today and it was such a pleasant experience!Wayne greeted me at the door and made me feel comfortable right away! Jeremiah is awesome, worked on my idea and my tattoo. He is very professional and very skilled!The place is clean, everyone looks happy.✌🏻😁 It was a nice, pleasant and memorable experience.👍🏻Will definitely come back for my second!Thank you
I’ve been here a few times and had tattoos done and just had my Daith pierced! Love going here the staff is always great. Justin did my daith he’s gentle and quick and does a good job. Thank you Justin!
First time visiting here. Was busy mid evening on a Friday night. I was after a surgical steel hoop earring with screw on balls at both ends. They had exactly what I was looking for. Staff greeted and helped me right away upon entering. Appeared to be clean. Staff was sure to clean/sanitize my new earring despite it already being in a plastic bag. That was much appreciated. I cant vouch for any tattoo work but seemed to be busy with tattoos and piercings. If you need any body jewelry, check here first. Ill for sure be back! Thanks for a great first impression! If you need a distraction before, during, or after any tattoo or piercing work, the smoke shop next door was also a great first impression with a variety of items and attentive, courteous staff!
Walked in mid-day on a random Tuesday and had a great experience. Thankfully Liz had an appt cancel and she was available to do some quick work on me for an idea I had. Loved the experience and plan on scheduling her for some more soon!
I got my septum pierced here when I was 16. My parents set it up so I had not been there before but the women who did my piercing made me feel comfortable. She also explained the significant difference between a shorter Piercing, and a bigger piercing. At the time I was unaware that the small piercing was ideal for healing at the beginning. It was super quick she also made my dad and step mom feel comfortable and let them take pictures. After she explained ways to clean it and not to move it around much. I’m turning 18 in a few months with my septum still intact. It has never stunk or hurt after the few months I got it pierced and because of that, I’m thinking of returning to get more piercings and possibly a tattoo. There are so many different people that work there and it was explained to me and my father, very well, which helped as it was my first time in a tattoo or piercing shop, and the people working made me feel very comfortable.
I’ve gotten 10 piercings and 3 tattoos from here… best place to get body mods doneStaff is super nice and patient. Can’t wait to get more work done!
Went to refresh my old tattoo and enhance my butterfly tatoo by adding color. Jeremy was great. It did not take long at all. About an hour for both. COVID-19 protocol in place which made me comfortable. Price was quite reasonable. I received my first one there 9 yrs ago and Jeremy made it look brand new. Thanks you guys. 👍. 👍 you rock.
I come here for all my piercings!! Ive had my belly button, both sides of my nose, septum, tongue, ears and now eyebrow all done by Justin. He’s overall just very nice, great at his job and really knows what he’s doing. Very quick and painless. Cant wait to come again when its time for another one :)
For my first tattoo it was definitely a great experience! Kyle was my artist and was very gentle, had a great attitude and made me feel very comfortable for a first time! I will definitely be back for another. Everyone was very welcoming, Jennifer at the front desk especially as well! Very happy with my results!
My family was immediately greeted when we walked in by the front desk person. They were awesome, then Justin helped us and took care of my 2 daughters. He did an amazing job making sure the piercings were correct placement and made my kids comfortable. He has an awesome personality and is professional. We will be back. I’m going to visit them for tattoos, the entire appearance and cleanliness of Bodytech is top notch!
Clean organized. Go my first tattoo with Josiah. Made the my own special design.
Getting my first sleeve done there and lizzy is a phenomenal artist I would recommend anyone/anybody to her for their first or even 100th tattoo with her. Bodytech is very professional and the vibe I get when I go there is pretty much addictive. Bodytech along with their artist will accommodate you and your questions. If you were to ask me where should I go to get my tattoo I would without a doubt tell you bodytech. Here is the beginning of my new sleeve. the cross on my forearm was not done by bodytech please disregard that from the pictures If it is visible. This is obviously not finished so I will add more through out each session.
Got a tattoo here and they were pretty good, but came back for a couple piercings with my friends and had an awful experience. The piercer was mean, literally physically pushy while doing the piercings, and made an inappropriate comment at my friend. Not to mention that he pierced my tragus with a curved bar and I had to get it professionally fixed (so painful because it never healed due to that).
Had a wonderful tattooing experience at BodyTech with Malcolm. He was very friendly and funny, and he did an outstanding job replicating the tattoo I brought to him. Great bed-side manner, clear after-care instructions, and work that Im happy to wear for the rest of time. Thank you!
A few years ago Melissa pierced my third lobe and I was very happy to see her last night. I came in just for someone to help me change my jewelry and I walk out last night with my 21st and 22nd piercing. Melissa did a conch on both sides, she is so quick and friendly. I have never had a problem with the lobe piercings she did a while ago and they healed great. If you want to get something pierced please come see Melissa I truly trust her.
Awesome experience! Piercing by super chill Melissa. She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing. Not only did it not hurt, almost fully healed within 2 days! It’s now been 14 days since and things still going great.She explained everything, was TOTALLY patient and made herself available for any upcoming questions. Highly recommend.BTW, Bodytech did not know (& still doesn’t unless reads this review) that just 5 minute earlier, a place only 0.5 miles east of them tried to explain why my navel was not good for piercing but I simply didn’t understand.They (individual) actually turned me down… sent me on my way with no extra hole in my tummy skin. Okay,, do what you feel is best I guess. Seems CYA overkill to me, especially now. But I’m certainly no expert.Independently, two people at Bodytech told me exactly the opposite when I exposed the place where mom & I used to be one…. asking, does it look alright to do it?” (perhaps I’ll add photo someday but nothing unusual, as far as I see… a run of the mill ‘inny button)As said, things going swimmingly and I’m so HAPPY I bought the prettiest jewelry. It’s only money and I feel thankful, blessed and beautiful every time I see it. Thanks Bodytech and thank you Melissa!
Got my ears pierced here, went well until about 2 months in today and I had to take my lobe jewelry out, the guy used a butterfly back instead of a flat back, the bar itself was definitely not long enough to accommodate swelling or cleaning behind it, I shouldve been more clear on what I wanted but I trusted him stupidly because he seemed like he knew what he was doing. I did all the cleaning correctly, and the aftercare went well until now. He told me when I got the piercings to not remove them to clean them. So I didnt, and dead skin collected in the back of the jewelry, and today it was hurting so bad I took it out.blood and lymph fluid everywhere, it was disgusting. Thank God it wasnt infected, but it definitely could have been.Waiting for new jewelry in the mail and hoping my lobes wont close up before I can change the jewelry. Stay away from butterfly backs for new piercings. Bad bad idea. I did my research before hand but I didnt listen to myself, so I blame both parties. But the piercers here should know better which jewelry is best. Unprofessional communication to say the least, definitely wont come back.
Spur of the moment decision. Me & my mother got matching tattoos which also turned out to be my first. Aubrey did ours & we were super happy (minus me crying from the pain)
Melissa was awesome! She pierced my 6 month olds ears and made the experience great. I was really nervous but she answered all of my questions and I never felt like I was bothering her. She even gave me her # to text her incase I needed anything or had any questions about the piercings or aftercare. Would definitely recommend Melissa!
Went once with some friends, for my buddies first tattoo. I have mixed feelings. Girls at the front were helpful and friendly, but the guy who did my BDSM sign and my buddies gaming tattoo was not friendly and his lines on my buddies are not good at all.(His first tattoo at that!) Mixed reviews but this is a real experience. Over priced for what we recieved personally. $80 for my leg symbol, and $60 for the bad lines round gaming symbol. We tipped and will not go back to whichever guy we had previously.
I’ve been to Bodytech twice in the past few years, once for a piercing and yesterday for a tattoo. Both times they did fantastic. Yesterday I went in as a walk in with a drawing and saw Jeremiah. In an hour, I had a completed tattoo on me. Very clean, very professional, very cool people. Place also has an aesthetically pleasing design. I will be returning to Jeremiah for tattoos in the future!
Got my daith pierced by jennifer. she was literally the best piercer i’ve ever gone to and i’ve been to numerous across the east coast. she made what’s supposed to be one of the most painful piercings you can get into a quick, easy experience. the piercing was done and the jewelry was put in all in under a minute. she also gave me tips on how to style my piercings and gave me jewelry suggestions. 1000% will be going back to her!!
Justin is the only person I go to for piercings. I had 9 piercings originally and none of the past piercers felt like a right fit. After getting a helix with Justin I immediately got 3 more piercings by him that day. Hes the first piercer I felt fully comfortable and confident with in getting the placement perfect without feeling like I was bothering him.
Wonderful place to get tattooed. This was my first tattoo and admittedly I was a bit nervous, however the staff there was really kind and made sure that I understood everything that was going on. Definitely recommend.
I got my last tattoo at this shop, and they did a great job. So when my daughter wanted her belly button pierced, I knew where Id take her. The artist, Melissa, was wonderful, very nice, and added a little humor to keep my daughter calm. She was quick and the piercing turned out beautifully. The front desk staff were friendly and very accomodating Their starter jewelry was very reasonably priced, and they had so many beautiful options to choose from in the higher priced jewelry. My daughter absolutely loves it, and she was very well informed on how to care for it and keep it clean. We will definitely be returning for our future piercing and tattoo needs.
I took my daughter to have her ears pierced for the first time. She was very nervous. The staff was very helpful and patient with us. I also had my nose pierced the same night. Jennifer pierced us both. She was very good with my daughter and quick. I appreciate the patience and professionalism . My daughter didnt cry and I was very pleased. I am very pleased with service and this is the only place I will go to be pierced. I highly recommend Bodytech.
Justin has done all my piercings and they’ve healed beautifully 😸 will circle back around for navel soon >:)
Got my nostril pierced last night as a walk-in and the experience was lovely. i havent had anything professionally pierced before so i was a little nervous but the piercer was very straightforward and confident so i calmed down a lot. their corkscrew jewelry is pretty affordable, but they also offer flatbacks for a higher price. i will definitely be coming back!!
I emailed the artist who I wanted to work with, Cristina, and she was quick to respond. I was lucky enough to get in right away because of a cancellation. The shop was super clean. The bathroom was immaculate. Cristina did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted. She gave me her opinion and guidance which I truly appreciate. She was super friendly and easy to work with.
Came in to get both tragus repierced Justin took amazing care and charged me for one piercing because the other side was still open after a long time not having jewelry inDefinitely a 10/10
I just got my nose piercing done by Melissa Welch.The whole experience was quick and easy. I have a decent amount of pain tolerance but even so I believe with her hand it will be quick painless to anybody.Very profesional, clean environment, nice bathroom. All the works of a successful and prospering business. 10/10 would recommend.
I came to see Sarah for Laser Tattoo Removal, and had a wonderful experience.The shop is really nice inside & spacious. Theres a lot of intriguing art on the walls and the place is beautiful. Theres a pretty large waiting area as well for people to wait with you while you get work done, and they even have a game and photobooth in the waiting room, too.Sarah was absolutely wonderful, and shes an Angel. Ive had a massive Star tattoo on my chest for years, and she was so kind and caring during my session to remove it. I have chronic pain and nerve issues, and she was so understanding, sweet, and took her time to make sure I was comfortable. She really went out of her way to make sure I was in as little pain as possible, and I really appreciated that. Im so thankful to find her - shes the best!If you need Tattoo Removal - I definitely highly recommend Sarah & Bodytech. If you want a Tattoo - They are great for that, too!
Ive gotten several tattoos and piercings here. They are clean and trustworthy. In fact, a couple months after I got my nose pierced, my dog kicked me in the face and ripped the top part off (that wasnt fun). I was able to drive right over and they helped me replace the top of the piercing right then.There is always a bit of a wait and there are no walk-ins available for tattoos. Also, they only accept cash, so bring some or be ready to pay a fee at the atm.This is a great place if you are looking for a place to get your first tattoo. And more, of course. But I wish Id gone here for my first. I was so intimidated when I walked in to the place where I got my first but Ive never felt like that here.
This was a great experience for my 11 year old daughter. She had a hard time getting through the second ear after the initial shock of the first piercing. Melissa was so wonderful and accommodating. She was patient and gave her the confidence she needed to finish the session. It was my daughters choice to pierce her ears, and Im so thankful Melissa encouraged the freedom of choice (timing and pace) for the process and reinforced the message of respect for her body. Melissa was compassionate and encouraged my daughter to express her feelings and tears of relief! My daughter is so so happy and cant stop looking at her daisy earrings. I highly recommend Melissa and Bodytech to handle your childs piercings.
I had an awesome experience with Mel! She did my nipple piercings and was very quick and easy while also reassuring about it, its been about 4 months ago and they’ve been healing stellar, she gave me great tips on the way out and also gave me permission to contact her if any emergencies or questions, she was just the best!! Definitely going back to her for any other piercings
Staff is friendly and very informative. Shop is very sanitary my only nich they only take cash and if course there atm charges a fee so make sure to take loot with you to avoid the fees imposed. And enjoy the cleanliness and awesome Jewelery they have ☺️
Melissa is a great piercer very informative and caring, she did my nipple piercings. However the receptionists at the front are RUDE AF. One is a middle aged white woman who looks so dead inside, & projects that unto paying costumers. The other one answered a phone cal mid convo and wasnt very welcoming at all! I paid $20 deposit for a tattoo & when i tried to call to reschedule my appt the phones werent working at all!!! smh very unprofessional here.
Ms. Melissa was so nice. Ive wanted my septum pierced for some time now. You can book pricing appointmens online for ease. Everyone is the shop was friendly and helpful. Melissa made it easy and comfortable. Thank you again.
I love their work here! My sister recommended for us to do our tattoos here with Paul. So we booked out for 1 month to get matching tattoos. We got there at 8 pm and they were really helpful. I decided last minute I wanted my nose pierced and Justin helped me! He did my piercing so quick and was really friendly! Then my sister, cousin and I got our tattoos done. Paul did exactly what we wanted. We were unsure where we wanted it and he placed it on us in different spots to see where we liked it. We were there until after 12 am but the experience was great. All our tattoos came out great and Paul was super patient for doing 3 tattoos on me. Justin came and checked on us a couple of times to ask how everything was going! That’s awesome and great customer service. We will definitely be back for all of our needs.
Best Tattoo Shop Ever!!! I had the best experience here, Steve did an amazing job on my Hello Kitty Tattoo!! 😁
All of my experiences at Bodytech have exceeded my expectations. The shop is extremely well kept, sanitary and organized, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Liz did a fantastic job on my tattoo, working for nearly 6 hours on the first session without missing a beat. She is an exceptional artist and I appreciated how she had me work with her on the design, since I knew the features of the tree and she knew how to bring them to life! She provided valuable input on placement and checked with me multiple times throughout the sessions to confirm design decisions and receive feedback. I could not have asked for better service, company, or art and I am very grateful to Liz and the Bodytech team for making this experience and art one of the best of my life.
This place is a life saver! Shout out to Sarah with the tattoo removal. She is super sweet, very knowledgeable and informative. She does great work! Also the customer service at this shop is beyond great! Thanks guys! See y’all soon!
Kyle was awesome. His work is super clean. Cody is another favorite of mine. This shop has great artists that are willing to work with you.
Justin did my belly button over a year ago and my second lobe piercings and my daith piercing a few months ago and he was very respectful and did a great job. I came back today to get my nipples done and he was amazing as always. It was fast and pretty painless so it made the experience a whole lot easier. I love the piercings and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a great piercer.
I’ve gotten all of my piercings here throughout the last 12 years and Justin has done all of them. He’s great at what he does, very knowledgeable and FAST and as for someone who’s not a fan of needles I like when the job is done in a quickly manner. I will always recommend people to Justin when they want anything pierced.
I got a nose piercing from Melissa, everything was great. Melissa was friendly fast and everything was above and beyond clean..By the 2nd day it wasnt sore at all, now here it is a week later and its perfect.I highly recommend Bodytech..
Very quick and efficient. answered my questions and addressed my worries regarding getting a piercing with hemophilia!
Went and got my daughter (5) ears pierced today. Justin the piercer was so kind and patient with her. He explained everything he was gonna do and showed her how and what he was using. He also told her im not gonna touch you until you say you are ready. When she said i am ready he peirced her ears it was quick and percise. She was a little nervous going in but the way he spoke to her calmed her down quick. The process of filling out the paperwork, picking her ear rings ( which they had a nice selection of kids earrings) and her getting them done was less than 30 mintues. Very happy with the experience and definitely will recommend in the future.
After waiting a week for my appointment I came in 20min ahead of time signed in and paid for my service. I was told to sit in a lobby and that I would be called shortly. They probably called about 4 ppl ahead of myself when finally the guy up front told me Id be called next. The piercer proceeded to call a group of 3 girls in to the piercing room. Mind you my appointment was at 1:00pm it was not 2. I finally stood up and asked for a refund. What is the point of setting up an appointment if the shop will not honor your time slot. It was extremely unprofessional and a waste of time. I would give zero stars if I could. This place clearly had a certain type of clientele the shop was filled with under age kids with their parents. Definitely would not recommend.
This place is awesome! Ive gotten pierced by Melissa three times and Im incredibly happy with all of my experiences. Shes good at what she does and super friendly. She has a ton of piercings herself too so she can tell you from experience. The rest of the staff also seems nice, greeting you on the way in and answering questions. They also have great prices, I only wish they took more than just cash!
I got my bridge pierced here and had to take it out immediately due to several errors making my piercing extremely likely to reject later. Justin Berk pierced me with a 16g curved barbell when it shouldve been a straight 14 gauge. The piercing itself was too shallow (according to a piercer at another shop) and it is likely that due to my anatomy he probably shouldn’t have done the piercing at all. I do admit I should’ve asked more questions to verify that Justin knew what he was doing, but that’s on me for assuming this shop hires experienced professionals.
I’ve gotten piercings at body tech and now a little bitty tattoo and have been very satisfied both times! The piercer was helpful in finding jewelry that worked best for my ears and was quick and friendly. Maria, who did my tattoo tonight, was super friendly, quick, and professional. She made sure I was comfortable and was pleasant throughout the entire experience. The place is clean and has good hours, I recommend them for sure!
The shop itself was very clean, and when I went back to get my piercing, everything was organized and clean in the room as well. I got my belly button pierced by Melissa, and she did an amazing job. She checked multiple times to make sure my piercing would be lined up correctly before she did it. She really took her time to make sure that my piercing would look perfect, and it absolutely does. I am beyond impressed by her work, and she made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I would definitely come back here.
Went and got my septum pierced here! justin berk was the person who did it and was very professional and quick. everyone was super nice and it was an easy and (mostly) painless process.
This place is absolutely fantastic! I had an Industrial piercing done by Justin and he was super fast and efficient! He joked a bit to ease the anxiety and tension and made the whole experience as painless as possible. I am super happy with my piercing.While I was waiting for my turn, I had the opportunity to speak with Devin, the receptionist. She was amazing. Super patient with me and all of the questions that I had. She was very knowledgeable about all the services and different types of products and offered valuable advice and recommendations.Will definitely be coming back for all my future piercings and tattoos! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! This place deserves so many more!
Ive lived all over the country and this was one of the cleanest tattoo/piercing parlors Ive been to. Every single staff member was polite, funny, informative, helpful. Jennifer was great when I called. Logan and Justin were hilarious and helpful in person. Felt so safe despite getting a tongue piercing during Covid. They take all the precautions and are really respectful about it. The piercing? Justin was so confident and it was so fast. Im not sure if it is supposed to hurt but...it does not at all (day after.) Im no scientist but I hear the piercer makes a big difference in healing. Planning tattoos now just so I can go back. Only go here if you want the best experience and to possibly start a body mod obsession just to go back. Thank you! Oh, and I forgot this on Yelp but their jewelry is beautiful and I got an email for aftercare immediately after I left which is so convenient and professional.
BodyTech and Melissa are top notch! Melissa pierced our younger daughter’s ears today, and almost our older daughter’s too before last minute she decided she wasn’t ready. Melissa was kind, honest, patient, sweet, and fun! She did not make us feel rushed at all with other customers waiting. Our littler one’s ears are perfectly pierced (and she is absolutely thrilled and so excited), and we know exactly where we will go when our older one is ready. Thank you BodyTech and Melissa!!!
From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out we were very satisfied with this tattoo/pierce shop. The place is very clean. From the lobby to the bathroom to the waiting room to the piercing room. Just wow. You can tell they care about making sure that place is taken care of. Melissa pierced our 7 year old daughters ears. Was very fast, very patient, very gentle, very just perfect for the person to be the one to pierce her ears. Our daughter was very excited and very nervous and Melissa explained (even calmly over and over again) everything that was going to happen and even explained to our daughter how important it is for us to make sure the aftercare gets taken care of.All in all we wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. We do no have experience with the tattoo portion of the shop but my husband did say he had to walk through that area to go to the restroom and even that area was extremely clean.Thanks Body Tech staff for being so clean and so professional.
Shop was very clean and staff is always professional. Two friends and I walked in without an appointment a little before midnight on a weeknight and were greeted warmly by staff. Melissa was fantastic. She did three piercings in less than 15 minutes and we were thrilled with all of them! Keep up the awesome work, girl!! Thank you, BT.
I recently went to body tech to get my double helix 3 weeks tomorrow. I’ve been getting piercings and tattoos from body tech since I was 18 years old. I recommend them to everyone! Going back at the end of the month to get the other side pierced can’t wait !! I’m 35 now so yes it’s been years!
Went here to get some tattoos done while I was visiting my friends in Gainesville. I ended up getting 3 smaller tattoos (Cody was the artist that I worked with) and they all look amazing! Honestly the line work is incredible. One of the tattoos is a thermodynamics equation and it genuinely looks like it was typed. In addition the lines on the wild flower tattoo are so clean and the script on the quote is beautiful! It has been a little over a week and all three have healed very nicely so far which I absolutely contribute in part to the spectacular craftsmen ship as these three seem to be healing better then previous tattoos Ive gotten even though I used the same aftercare method. I absolutely love my new tattoos and would highly recommend going here as not only was the end product terrific but the staff are incredible nice!
Just finished up my big chest tattoo yesterday. It was a 3 sessions job and the tattoo is just amazing. The artist Bach is a beast! He is so talented and I couldnt be more happy with his work. I have quite a few friends that had tattoos from him and his work really speaks for itself which is why I chose him specifically to do this one for me. On top of his great art he is a nice guy and really chill... very welcoming dude.The BodyTech shop itself is great. Very clean and professional facility. Each visit I made I always felt welcomed by the staff who are also quite friendly and helpful.And if you are looking for piercings this is a great place for that too!! I brought my daughter here to get her ears pieced when she was 6 months old (that was 2 years ago). Again, the clean facility and equipment really made me feel good about bringing her here.
Melissa pierced my nose and did an excellent job. She was professional, calm and precise. I felt well informed about the aftercare and the piercing healed up perfectly. Oh, and I loved the jewelry options! A few months later I came back to swap out the stud for a shorter post and Justin took care of me. He was super friendly and so helpful. Thanks Bodytech :)
Did a walk in piercing for an earlobe and 2 helixes and I was in and out in 20 minutes. The piercer (Justin Berk) and the guy at the front desk were hella cool.
I came in to have my VCH piercing redone. Everyone was very welcoming and kind. Justin was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Can’t wait to return for more.
Got a tattoo done by Maria, came out great! She was nice, calm, and didnt hype me up for my first tattoo. Would highly recommend Bodytech and the artist Maria there as well. Very clean and sanitary. For all the people saying the girl at the front isnt that nice: shes not a model of customer service, but shes definitely not rude. Shes just an average employee doing her job. Ive never had any issues with my experiences, and Ive gotten both piercings and tattoos done here. Love the people and the place!
Melissa pierced my ear today and I couldnt be happier. Very quick, wonderful attitude, and knew exactly what she was doing. She also made sure everything was properly cleaned prior to to piercing my ear. Im very satisfied and will come here again for more piercings!
I wanted a semicolon tattoo that in corporate my family for a couple of months and I decided to go to body tech to give them a try. The reception Maria was very helpful and sweet. She answer all my question and was easy to talk to. The tattoo artist Lil Jeff was phenomenal and very professional. His demeanor bought me at ease and hes very knowledgeable. Lastly Mel who helped me and my friend in getting piercing was remarkable and fun. I enjoy her and she made me feel comfortable. Thank you all for everything!
Recently got my nipples pierced here! And I can definitely say they are the best! Very respectful, they answered all my questions and even made sure I felt comfortable during the piercing. I don’t understand what all he bad reviews are about but I’d definitely recommend Bodytech! Definitely going back for more piercings
My husband and I came in for anniversary tattoos and Malcolm did an amazing job! It was both our first times and we were instantly put at ease. Very clean and professional environment, everyone was great.10/10 would absolutely recommend.
I got my belly button pierced tonight by Melissa Welch and she was so amazing! She thoroughly explained everything to me, made sure everything was clean and quick, and was super friendly. I didn’t get the receptionist/other girl working’s name, but she was super nice as well. If you two are reading this, you’re the bomb!♥️
Steve did a cover up and he was great. Very clean, professional and his work speaks for itself. I couldn’t be happier.
The shop is really nice. They have really reasonable prices. I havent had a tattoo here but just got two piercings from Melissa. She was absolutely fantastic and Id recommend her to anyone who was thinking about getting a piercing. She was very professional and tried her best to calm my wracked nerves. Ill also add that the piercing room was really clean and sterile.
I had my bridge pierced by Jen, she was wonderful and made me comfortable through the whole process and did wonderfully!
I have gotten my nose pierced twice here. I have 2 on the same side of my nostril and they were both quick and remotely painless. Everything was sterile and the piercer was very kind. She talked me through exactly what would happen (even the second time I got my nose pierced). She did her absolute best to make sure I was calm and prepared before she pierced me.
Was quick and fairly cheap but they didnt seem very friendly as soon as she pierced my daughter she was just wondering us out the door and my daughter had issues with her tongue piercing because it wasnt done completely right
Melissa did my piercing today. I was scared and she made me super comfortable and was super fast with minimal pain. Would 100% recommend. Best piercing I’ve had out of my 12 others !
I am from out of town and was referred to this shop. Logan the receptionist was great. I found Justin to be rude and not very interactive which is opposite of what I heard and read. So that was disappointing. The procedure itself was painless and quick. The only cleaning instruction I got was on a card and I felt like I was bothering Justin with my questions. Thank you Logan for being patient when I did have a few questions about properly caring for my nose ring.
Absolutely great. Got a nose piercing from Mel (Melissa) and my two friends got tattoos from Lizz. The staff were friendly and very casual. Low- to-no- pressure environment. Incredibly clean and sterile equipment and procedures. Price was very affordable, and aftercare products are also available at an additional cost. They offer plenty of options for body jewelry as well. Would definitely recommend!
Went in to see Justin to get a piercing done, he did my cousins nose ring so I felt comfortable with him already and knew he did good work. The experience was very quick, which I prefer, and still personable! He gave me lots of good advise and offered his business card for any further questions or concerns I may have. Overall, very satisfied and cant recommend Justin enough for all of your piercing needs.P.S. It looks cute af
I had my first tattoo done with Malcolm. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. He was patient and guided me through the process. I am extremely pleased with how It turned out, and I plan on having future visits. Thank you Malcolm!I also received a nostril piercing with Justin. It was a quick and simple process. I am pleased with the results. Thank you Justin!
I received an earlobe piercing, I didn’t realize the piercer was going to use a gun until he put it to my face. My fault for not asking prior..I just assumed all Tattoo piercers used needles for all piercings. So far so good, he made measurements to ensure they were evenly spread between and angled correctly.
The BodyTech staff were great! Went in to get my first piercings done and they walked me through everything and were very friendly! Melissa did my actual piercings and she was extremely professional and friendly! She was very skilled and the whole process was quick, easy and with barely any pain/discomfort!I was a little scared to get my first piercings done but the BodyTech staff helped me through the process and I am very satisfied and happy with their service!
I’m ecstatic about my new tattoo! Was doing a happy dance to my truck! Liz is professional, caring, honest, and comforting through the whole process! Not only that but most importantly her artwork is top notch and clean 👌🏽 I love the work she does, and I already have another appointment scheduled that I’m counting down to! 🙂✨
Justin is one of the most awesome piercers I have ever had. Any time I go in there he is super friendly, and always does a great job. He makes my piercings quick and painless. I recommend all of my friends to him and would recommend him to anyone who needs a dermal or any type of piercing! He always gives out his card and number, so that if you have any problems or questions you can send him a text. If you get a dermal done, he also has you come back in a week to check up on it and make sure it is healing well!
Got an industrial in my right ear by Mel. The experience and atmosphere really get you in the mood for a paingasm. Never had such a rush after a piercing. Thanks Mel, your the best. Ill be back for that double!
I just got my tattoo there today! Everything was great, we went early, so they were not too busy yet. They greeted us when we came in & we talked about the particulars of our visit. Kyle did a great job on my tattoo!! I love going to body tech, it’s the only place my family goes for tattoo’s & piercings!
Im only rating my experience with piercing here.The lady at the front desk was wonderful. The shop itself seems okay.Justin was our highly recommended piercer. I made sure to inform the shop of my daughters issues with anxiety and her SID.Was not taken into account and Justin explained nothing, was not patient and actually yelled at my child for her reaction.His fame has gone to his head, imho, and hes become arrogant.Sadly, I tipped him $25 prior to the procedure.We will be heading elsewhere for her other piercings (and ours).
Bodytech is a great place to go for your tattoo. Fun staff and amazing artists, especially Kyle and Maria but other artist seem talented as well. My wife and I have gotten multiple tattoos there and have always walked away completely satisfied. Very thorough with what you want and make sure you’re happy before the stencil goes on. Stations are always clean, sterile environment, and good info for aftercare. One of the best shops in town!
Mel did an amazing job! Fast, professional, and as painless as possible. Very easy to see that Mel knew what they were doing. Awesome experience, would come back for all future piercings!
Love em! Exactly what you want in a piercer, clean and direct. The manager, Justin, is funny nice and experienced! Def going back
Justin has been great with all of our requests. Very professional but also extremely knowledgeable about the piercings
Melissa did my nieces septum, and my nose piercings, and she did an amazing job. She makes you feel super comfortable, and explained everything in detail, including the after care instructions. I would 100% recommend her for anyone wanting to get piercings. I also recently had a tattoo done here, and I was instantly drawn to Lizzii off the website, and followed her on Instagram before making a consult appointment with her. When we started talking about what I wanted, it was like she read my mind! I made my appointment, and she was fabulous! She was very down to earth, easy to talk to. I have had four other tattoos done (somewhere else), and it was the first time I truly felt comfortable with my tattoo artist. My tattoo (which was a memorial tattoo) turned out beautifully; Im so glad I chose her! She has found a forever customer in me!!
Michelle Arruè is a traveling artist at bodytech right now and she is amazing. she did my first tattoo that was a memorial for a loved one and it looks amazing. definitely recommend her to everyone i talk to
I got my nose pierced here a few weeks ago and the service were great!!! The girl at the front was super welcoming and understanding, and Justin, who did the piercing, was great too!!! The whole thing went quickly and there were no problems at all! I will definitely go there for future piercings!
This place is very clean and neat. The piercing/tattooing areas, the waiting room, the reception area, are all separate from each other. I came here for a septum piercing today and the person who did the piercing, Justin Berk did such an amazing job! I am a bit embarrassed to say but I did almost pass out after the jewelry was in my nose. He talked me through the whole process and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. He was very professional and also very caring and kind. 10/10
My friend and I did belly buttons pierced last night here. Justin did great job!! To her, pain was 3/10, to me it was 0/10 (literally), I just felt touch, but it didn’t hurt at all. I would do it way earlier if I knew Justin was that skilled. He didn’t use clamps, but just very quickly pulled needle through the skin and voilà. Piercing is centered nicely, flat and looks so good. We got aftercare instructions and purchased cleaning spray. Professional and comfortable service. Would recommend 10/10
Great place! Little to no wait and staff was nothing but friendly! Queer friendly environment and staff that knows what theyre doing.Got my septum pierced and it looks perfect! :)
I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Larry. He did a wonderful and simplistic floral tattoo on my spine. He was very nice, communicative, patient, and respectful. His tattoo techniques were also soft, not harsh, and was always checking up on me and making sure I was doing okay. I highly recommend him and the shop overall!!!
Justin was awesome. He gave me all the information that I needed for aftercare and thoroughly explained the entire process and answered all my questions. He recommended the best procedure for the results that I wanted and it turned out great. He did my teeth and my dimple piercings. I love it!
Great clean place to go to get piercings done! I went to Justin and he did my rook piercing and did it fast and was very nice and professional, hes awesome! I think it was Lauren who did my belly button a few years ago and it was VERY crooked so I took it out. Does she still work there??? But I would recommend going to Justin!
This store and its staff are wonderful! I have had both my nose and rook pierced by Justin. He is extremely professional, friendly, and quick at his work. The employees in this shop know their craft well and are able to execute exemplary work for a reasonable price.
Got pierced by Melissa today and she was amazing! She calmed my nerves and made me feel right at home. The whole process was quick and easy and I would reccomend to anyone. Thanks for the great experience
I received two piercings today. Tragus surface, and regular Tragus. Justin the piercer was great! He gave me instructions on how to care for my piercings&if I have any problems dont hesitate to call. I called 30 minutes before going , they answered the phone gave me a quote. Not one person there had an attitude. Customer service was A1. I wasnt even in there 15 minutes. I basically walked in got pierced and walked out(of course I picked out my jewelry & spray first lol). I thought about going somewhere else , I am so happy I went with them instead. I highly recommend!!! Btw:Justin Is fast as hell, Logan was kind, and patient. He helped me pick out my jewelry.
I have been going to Claire for over two years for my tattoos and microblading!! she has an amazing personality and she does fantastic work. I also have gotten majority of my piercings done here by Justin and he is very quick and does an awesome job as well :)
They were a little busy but we were able to get us in and get my son his first tattoo. It was small and quick, but perfectly executed!
I came here about 3 weeks ago and got a tattoo the artist did a great job , I absolutely love it. The customer service could be a lot better. Some of the staff I felt like was just rude and I was asked by one of the women there what I was there for like I’m just chillin In there for nothing. Scheduling could be a lot better also . The whole write the artist on Instagram thing is garbage you never get a response been trying to make another appointment for almost 3 weeks now .
Idk why this place has a lot of annoyingly low reviews, it was great. Justin was my piercer and although we didn’t become best friends, the vibes were still good. He was professional and fast, even tolerated my squirming all around DURING the piercing process. Piercings look great and are healing well.
Ive had all my piercings done by Justin and they have all been done fast and theyve been done well. He is really professional and knows what he is doing. They warn me before doing a piercing theyre uncomfortable with and tell me exactly what to expect so Im always safe and I wouldnt go to another place in Gainesville for my piercings. Shop is clean and the people are friendly and the work is professional.
I really like the tattoo I got done at BodyTech. Its not uncommon to hear that a lot of artists arent keen on doing white tattoos- they gave me their recommendations and opinions which I appreciated. I was referred to Bach whos willing to do white tattoos and he did a great job. I had some extra detail I wanted added the next day and he as more than willing to do so. He is very laid back but professional at the same time. Chill atmosphere. My appointment was a little over a half hour behind to start but it happens- I was there on a busy day and I was a walk-in from earlier in the day. So the fact they could get it done the same day was appreciated. Will definitely return as soon as I can decide on another tattoo.
Melissa is a wonderful piercer and I have always been happy with her work. Justin Berk, however, is consistently rude and unprofessional (and I have been coming to Bodytech for years). From reading others’ reviews, I know I am not the only customer who feels this way. Learn to embrace customer service or find a profession that doesn’t require it— and I say that as someone who works in the industry myself. When I’m putting money in your hand, I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
Love Bodytech! I went with a friend to see piercings and tattoos before going myself. Justin did a great job with my septum piercing - as painless as possible and super quick. Its a very nice, classy environment. Eight months later and I still have no issues with my septum. Will most likely go back for any other piercing needs.
I got a couple small tattoos back in August, and theyre awesome. Im taking my son to get a tattoo because I am so happy with the ones Jeremiah did for me! I have no doubt my son will love his also.
It was my first time at Bodytech and I was referred by my boyfriend to give Liz a try and she did not disappoint!! We did a custom mermaid sternum tattoo and it’s so beautiful, way better than I could’ve ever imagined ! She was super easy going and made sure I was comfortable during the tattoo process. 10/10 recommend Lizzie !!
Best shop hands down in my opinion. They didnt just give me a tattoo, its a work of art. Always clean, people in there are usually friendly. If I had any questions with healing or care afterwards they would answer any questions I had. Had a full sleeve and chest piece done on one arm that is amazing! Then they gave me a half sleeve around an existing tattoo on my other arm and made it all come together.
Shop was super clean; Ive never seen a shop so thorough on their paperwork with clients, their seperate cubicles are stocked and neat. Melissa did my septum. Very thorough with directions on aftercare and walking you through the actual piercing. She literally reminds me of a mom and I couldnt be happier!
I got my septum pierced in September. I loved it initially and still kinda do, except that it’s crooked. I waited to see if it would straighten out after it fully healed but it actually seems worse now. I was pierced by Justin and at the time it seemed like he was really rushed and just wanted me out of there? He didn’t even clean the area or explain the process beforehand. Those should’ve been my first red flags, but I was hopeful and trusting everything would turn out fine anyways since I paid so much. Months later and I’m regretting not getting my piercing elsewhere.
Everyone was really professional and I was seen in a timely manner. I dont remember his name, but the artist that did my tattoo back in April of 2019 was amazing. My tattoo came out beautiful. I had drawn a picture of Yosemite Sam as a memorial for my dad. He loved the cartoon character and also had it tattooed on his left arm. So mine was done on the same arm. Ive had another tattoo done by Bodytech back in 2007. Im very pleased with their work. I recommend ANYONE to go there. Whether its a tattoo or piercing, thats where you need to go.
I went last night to get some piercings with friends. Melissa was amazing and made everything so comfortable for me. The girl upfront that paid me and my friends out was being pretty rude and just had a really bad attitude. She rolled her eyes everytime we had a question and would get annoyed at everything. Other then that everything was great!
Malcolm is super awesome! Showed him a doodle of what I wanted and he was able to create the perfect piece for me. Will definitely get more tattoos from him in the future! I also got a septum piercing done by Justin, it was completely painless and super fast. I absolutely love it
Mel is the best! I recently got my cartilage pierced and was very nervous. She is so efficient and tedious! Never going to anyone else! Loved her vibe!
Ive had nothing but good experiences here. It may not look like much outside, but the inside of the shop is very modern and well-kept. The work area is more modern and just as clean as some of the doctors offices Ive been to (but has a lot more flash on the walls than those do). I would definitely recommend browsing the artists Instagram accounts to get a feel for how they do their lines/shading/color and calling the shop to schedule a consultation before going in, but even if you just come in with an idea and no particular artist, Bodytech will do their best to make it work. I also got my ears pierced here, much to the same effect: quick, clean, and professional (Justin was picking up my jewelry and bringing me over to the chair right as I finished paperwork), with lots of jewelry options to select.
Liz is the best artist hands down for customer service, professionalism, and all around making ideas come to life. This is the second time I’ve gotten tattooed by her, love the shops atmosphere, all the employees are AMAZING. If you’re looking for the spot to get anything and everything tattooed here’s your shop. 10 out of 10
I had an industrial piercing done by Melissa and she did a fantastic job. She was very knowledgable and told me all about the aftercare for my industrial. I was pretty nervous to get the piercing, but she made me feel comfortable and made the it as quick and painless as possible. I would definitely recommend Melissa for anyone looking to get a piercing done! (:
This place is amazing. Its intimidating to walk into a tattoo parlor as a new kid/fresh meat but they take such good care of you if you give them a chance. Wayne did my tattoo. He spent all day with me working through color hell and a shark that required tremendous detail. I am absolutely in love with his masterpiece and every other artist who checked it out was kind, supportive, and impressed. They are wonderful people capable of producing stunning artwork and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality tattoo.
Took our 10 year old to get his ears pierced and Melissa was super professional and really calmed him down during the whole process! They look great and are even, our kid is super happy as well as us the parents!
I really like getting my piercing here. I booked my appointment online. The shop is covid safe, everyone was wearing masks inside. Mel was the most amazing piercer ever. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Have had Justin pierce my nose twice and my belly button once and he’s awesome! I almost passed out after my last piercing and he was very cool and told me to sit down, got me water, a damp paper towel and Gatorade to help me feel better. And this was on one of their busiest days (Friday 13th they have a great deal on piercings). Even though he must’ve been stressed out he still took maybe 10 minutes and sat with me on the floor and made sure I was feeling ok. They obviously care about their customers.
I have been here several times for piercings and its the best by far. Melissa is very professional and definitely knows her stuff! Have plans to get tattoos for myself and even brought others to have theirs done here already. Wouldnt drive over an hour to get here passing others if it wasnt the best! (Christa Langley)
From consultation to touch-up, this place is amazing! Ive sat for 4 tattoos here ranging from big to small, ribs to shoulder and each has been a pleasurable experience. Theres a reason this place has been around as long as it has. They hire great artists that care about their craft by making sure they leave you with a lasting experience and an even better tattoo! Ask for Aubrey and shell bring your concept to fruition!
Malcolm is a amazing artist and did great on my first tattoo. He is a talented artist who pays great attention to detail. I am definitely coming back and referring all my friends and family to y’all there. Thank you for making my first experience positive and memorable.
I absolutely loved my experience here! I came in wanting either a vertical tragus piercing or a smiley. When Melissa and I talked we ended up doing a really awesome tri piercing that I had never seen before and she had never done before. It was great to do that together. She is such an upbeat person and I would recommend her to anyone!!!
I got a tattoo done by Wayne and it is absolutely amazing. The environment of the place always boosts my mood. They go into great detail about the aftercare of a tattoo and/or piercing so its easy to understand. The artists care a lot about their customers and a friendship is always made :)
Got a tattoo removal from Sarah , horrible job . She uses the laser setting at a small circle so she doesn’t take off much of the tattoo removal. so she can make u pay for 5-6 sessions . She did not even touch the whole tattoo in the session .
Went to bodytech to get my nose re-pierced! Melissa was my piercer, and can I say she did an amazing job! She walked me through the process very well and was so sweet the whole time ! I also loved that they had choices of jelwery. Nice to know theres a place I can go and get my piercings and they will actually care for me and answer all my concerns! Wonderful job! ❤️
I got my nose piercing here. I also go in and have them change it out to something new on occasion. Nose piercings are a little different than ear piercings. They require more care. They charge $5 to do it. Well worth it. Recently I bought handmade posts. They were made from a twisted metal. They told me up front that these would damage my nose. I have nothing but good to say about them. I think this is a very good place to get piercings.
Came in on a tuesday night with a few friends, all of us getting our very first tattoos. We were out and done within two hours. Two lip tats and one ankle all done by the fabulous and wonderful Malcolm!! He was so sweet and very helpful and dealt with the chaos of a crazy annoying friend group :) And all of our tattoos came out great. The place is very clean and modern and the service all around was wonderful. $50 for the ankle tat plus tip and it was $60 for the lip tats. Would highly recommend!!
Clean, professional, courteous; came all the way from Jax for this particular facility. Jeff was my artist. I came in with rough idea and he customized a design for me, beyond my expectations. He worked quickly and made the process comfortable. He was so great, I brought my 19yo daughter in for her first tattoo as well.
Justin did a fantastic job with my daughters piercing. He provided very thorough and professional education of her piercing. An additional plus, he was very quick. If the review was for Justin I would give this company 5 stars.Im giving it a 3 star review for the girl who handled our transaction from the beginning. We showed up and were told the piercer would not be there for 30 min. She then suggested we start the paperwork but informed us that she couldnt finish it, or take payment because they were going to have a change of shift and she didnt know if she would be there. We said we would be back in 30 min when the piercer would be back. I actually came back 5 min later and asked how much everything would be as it is a cash business. I got the cash and was back in about 15 min. In that time frame, about 6 more people came in, completed paperwork and paid. The same girl was working the register. After she got finished with those customers, she finished our paperwork and took payment. Weird, because she implied she wouldnt be there. I assumed, incorrectly, that we would be first to be seen since we started the process first. I honestly feel that we werent because of the way we looked. Im sure the cashier didnt intend to give me a what are you doing here look but she did. Tolerance goes both ways.
I had two tattoos done by Larry in June 2020, the first few days they looked great and exactly how I wanted them to. As they healed, the line work became very thick and the ink is spreading. As you can see in the pictures below, after they healed the lines have doubled in size and I am disappointed that they’re permanent. It’s saddening because I’ve always been pretty pleased with any piercing or my first tattoo I received here, but this work is less than. I understand sometimes line work can be tricky and can spread occasionally, but this seems excessive. The artist also mentioned during my session that he had never completed a tattoo apprenticeship. He was very nice, but I’m upset over this work.
Went and got a cross in rememberance of my son. Paul did an awesome job. Love it. This was 3 months ago. Went back last night and got Barb wire done by Claire which also came out awesome. I love it too. I would recommend both these artist to anyone.
I got two tattoos done by Cristina (Crishouse.tattoo) and the entire experience could not have been better. She was extremely professional and her work is absolutely beautiful. She did exactly what I wanted better than I could have ever explained it. I could not have asked for a better piece and I will definitely be going back to her for all future tattoos.
I have pierced my belly button 3 times before and it never took. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Melissa gave me a ton of advice and let me know if I think my piercing is going to die again I can come back for help.
I got a tattoo with Megan. Setting up the appointment was super easy, and she drew up exactly what I was looking for! Everyone was very friendly and talkative, and Megan made sure to check that I was okay often. Will definitely be back!
I had an appointment at this Bodytech location. While waiting in their parking lot to go in, TWO MINUTES before my appointment they called me to let me know that neither piercer was in today because they were home sick... I think its safe to assume the piercers did not get sick 30 seconds before that call. So I wouldve appreciated that notice much sooner (whether a call, text or email)... Very unprofessional and inconsiderate if you ask me... Complete waste of gas and time. Please be more considerate of other peoples schedules.
Really respect this shop and the artist and staff are always nice and eager to help. Been getting a lot of work done here and plan on doing more. Primary artist is Kyle Borchgardt and does excellent work. They take walk ins and do custom work. They have a massive selection of flash and each artist is their own style. Very clean shop and a great place to get a tattoo.
Brought my 14 week old to get her ears peirced. Best place to have taken her. Very professional, knowledgeable, fast, and cleanly
Clean and professional, never had a problem with any piercings Ive received here and they have a fantastic selection of body jewelry for sale at very reasonable prices and all quality product. Pierces are all fantastic. **Every 3rd Thursday of the month they do free HIV testing starting at 8pm**
I have been going to body tech ever since I was 18 and now 14 year later I still keep coming back. The shop and the people are always so amazing. I just got my septum done yesterday to add to the many others i have gotten from them and I am very pleased. I am in love with my piercing. I highly recommend Justin. He has done all my piercings. I have also gotten all my ink from them and have always loved and still do love them all as the day I got them. Saddly to say to the team about Jeffs passing. I had no idea until yesterday about his passing. I have gotten some amazing pieces from him and was hopping he could add on. Im so sorry for everyone and his passing. He was an amazing person not just an artist. I got some great pictures of us together. Thank you again to the shop and i will be coming bck very soon with my new ink ideas. Love u all
Absolutely a amazing place!!! The service desk associates were so nice! And the piercer Melissa was absolutely amazing! Shared so many laughs and definitely made it a moment to remember! I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking to modify their body! You won’t regret it!
When I first started asking around for advice about daith piercings, all of my friends said to go to BodyTech. One of my friends said that shed heard mixed reviews about Justin. Well, let me assure you, he was AWESOME!! There was almost no pain, it was fast, everything was clean, and he was just a generally nice guy. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!!
Went here for my first tattoo, my artist was Maria and I had a great experience. It was a flash tattoo so it didn’t take too long, but despite the short visit, it made a wonderful impression. Clean tattoos, cool vibes, and overall great place.
I got my double helix pierced here a few months ago, the guy was super nice and i also got my belly piercing done here a yr ago both were good experiences!
They’ve sold me a septum jewelry that was smaller than what I’ve asked for and after going home I noticed that it was small and before putting in my nose I’ve went to a friend’s shop in town so they could measure for me and it was actually smaller than what i asked for.When i tried to return the jewelry they claimed that it wasn’t smaller than what i asked for and that I wouldn’t get a refund when you could clearly see the difference by just looking/comparing what i had in my nose n what they sold to me.Not my first time having a bad experience there but that’s my first time sharing a review.Poor quality piercings and customer service, would definitely recommend their tattoo artists but not a good place to get piercings
Prices are high for plain piercing jewelry. This would be fine except multiple times I have been sold jewelry that doesn’t fit AFTER consulting the piercers and staff. It’s quite annoying since there is a strict no returns policy. I have also had experience with the staff being extremely rude and even making fun of my friend when they asked about a faux nose ring even though she was getting an actual piercing.
Went in and saw Justin for a piercing. He did an absolutely fantastic job. Super clean place too and excellent selection of jewelry.
For this being my first time ever going into a tattoo shop it was great! Came in around noon and the ladies at the desk were very friendly in pricing a tattoo. Paul was my artist and he was super helpful understanding my design and giving me a great first tattoo experience! Definitely will be coming back to body tech for any ink needs!
This message is for the owner of body Tech tattooing and piercing I was just as surprised as you are today to find out that there was no one who could give me the piercing that I wanted the gentleman that was working that day was a young guy I should have got his name he didnt offer me an appointment to come back he just said no 1 was there. I trust your business I trust your guys I wanted to get some more piercings however my time is limited because my job . I need a tattoo done I will be coming in again next week and I hope someones there this time
I came in last Thursday for a small 4 leaf clover tattoo on my right ankle. I did not have an appointment and was immediately greeted and felt comfortable explaining what I wanted. Malcom was my artist and re drew my tattoo several times to get it exactly how I wanted. Pricing was reasonable and the room for the actual tattoo was beyond clean and professional. Malcom did such a good job making me comfortable as this was my first tattoo and I had one thousand questions. Thank you!!
My wife and friend got peirced. Ive spent many hours in tattoo parlors over the years. This one has a great atmosphere they did a great job mixing an old school parlor vibe with a tranquil twist. The girl at check in was a little off putting , but like I said Ive spent a good chunk of my life around places like this so Im use to that cooler than you mentality. The peircing itself went well. I believe Justin did it. He had a good attitude and made everyone at ease. I would strongly recommend this place, but employees always change so make sure you see a portfolio.
I have been several times for tattoos and piercings, and the staff is always professional, timely, and able to answer any questions about care. The prices are reasonable as well for the college area; also, the facility is very clean and I have noticed staff maintain sterile technique. I would recommend to anyone!
I went in today for the first time after hearing good things and I wasnt disappointed. I got my nose pierced by Justin and he was quick, polite, and straight to the point which works for me when it comes to piercing. The environment was also nice and clean. Ill recommend this place to others!
Got my nose pierced by Justin today and it was great! Super fast and painless. Gave me all cleaning instructions and they sell cleaning spray in the studio. It was a great experience!
All you older people out there who always wanted a tattoo but felt intimidated going into a shop, this is the place for you. There is no feeling of being out of place. You are not looked down on. You are a valued customer no matter what your age. A few years ago I chose a standard piece from their huge selection for my ankle & it came out great. This time I knew I wanted the word Imagine with a few pink stars on my shoulder back so I asked the young lady at the desk if that word was on the wall. Instead she helped me with the computer to figure out the size, font & colors I wanted. Printed it & cut it out so I could have an idea how it would look. She then made me an appointment with Austen Minor. Austen advised me to return 2 weeks later because we had just come back from Mexico & I was too tan. He did not want me to peel & have it affect his work. All I can say is WOW. Austen was careful to pick just the right pink that would show best in the outline of the stars & discussed the best placement. He moved the stencil many times until it was just right. He is so artistic but also skilled & personable that I did not even realize he was done. Thinking now of a zipper to cover a vertical scar down the back of my neck.
I am in love with this place! Super Tattoo artists, clean tattoo area, Awesome piercers, Crazy friendly and knowledgeable receptionists that go out of their way to help you get the right piece of jewelry and get you started on your tattoo or piercing experience. I have never come into this business and had anything other then a great experience. Two thumbs up from me!
Malcolm is amazing! Well worth the wait! We drove hours just to see him! He has an awesome personality, so there’s never a dull moment! My two cousins, my brother, and myself all have work from him now and we couldn’t be happier! We have some bigger pieces that we’re wanting him to do. We’ll be going back to see Malcolm at Bodytech soon! He’s the best!
The receptionists have always been nice to me. I have had my nose done twice by Justin which have been good experiences. I have also recently been pierced by Mel and I absolutely adore her. However, before my recent piercing with her I had gone in about a year two tops to get a couple tattoos done by two different artists. When I went in today the artist that didnt want to do a cover up but fix an already crappy tattoo (that was done elsewhere) and added a word to it, decided that it was ok to not only bash one of my newest tattoos but another newer tattoo because it wasnt how he would do it. First off, my two new/er tattoos look AMAZING!!!! They also have a TON of meaning to me. To have them bashed because they were not only how I wanted them done but that they needed a touch up due to the amount and color of the ink was used was ridiculous. He had no right to bash them. I paid to have good ink done and to have that kind of experience from a place that not only I visit but family and friends too was highly upsetting. It isnt about what the artist wants on my body, it is about what I want on MY body. I will not be returning here for a tattoo nor will I recommend tattoos to get done here. It isnt my first time having an issue with him.
Always a great experience here! Came to get my forward helix pierced, and Justin helped me out with my tragus I thought was closed. Will be back soon : )
Super pleased with Justin. Walked in for septum piercing, and I have a rather crooked nose lol. He was professional, discussed what a crooked nose meant for the piercing and said he would try to get it as straight as possible. It turned out excellent and sits just right! Will definitely be back in the very near future.
I am just leaving after attempting to get a nose piercing and am very displeased with the condescending tone and unprofessional attitude of the receptionist. I ended up not getting the piercing due to her behavior and attitude and will not return or recommend this establishment to anyone as long as she is the receptionist. UPDATE: Filling out the necessary forms was not an issue at all, I called 2 hours prior and was aware of all necessary paperwork.... The overall condescending attitude and tone of the receptionist was the ONLY issue I had.
My daughter wanted her ears pierced for her 5th birthday and we were recommended by several people to bring her to Body Tech. Justin was patient with her (even when she got a little freaked out) and was super quick as well. My daughter loves her earrings! (There is also a huge selection of jewelry to chose from!)
I got a PA piercing from Melissa, and it was a wonderful experience. She was funny, informative, comforting, and best of all, very little pain she was so good. Would recommend again and again. Thanks, Melissa
Justin is an awesome piercer. Some people say hes too fast, but hes super professional and gets the job done. Ive gotten a couple of piercings from him and they always look perfect. Couldnt be happier.
This place is very professional and clean. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Fast service regarding tattoos when the artist starts. I recommend Steve for tattoos he makes you feel comfortable and explain what he is doing throughout the process.
I just got a tattoo from Cody and it turned out better than I couldve hoped for. Easily the most well done tattoo Ive gotten. The shop was super clean and everybody was really nice and helpful. 10/10 will go again
Jeremiah did an awesome job on our tattoos! We will be booking with him again soon!
