    New England Patrtios' symbol done by Ronnie. Lettering honoring my Dad done by Anthony.

    My absolute favorite and go to shop for all of my tattoos. Quality of the work and artists can't be beat! I have tattoos from mostly one artist, but I also have one tattoo that I'll treasure forever because it was done by the original owner of the shop, Guy. My go to artist is Jason McKillip. He has phenomenal handwriting and drawing skills. I will never go to another shop nor let another artist tattoo me!! As a matter of fact, I am already discussing what my next one will be!! Love, love, love Body Graphics Tattoo and my artist, Jason McKillip!!

    UPDATE: I haven't been back to this shop. I've been worried about going public with this, but everyone has the right to know that my review has brought an artist's hostile wife to my messages. This was a few months ago. The review I made was in 2020, and she messaged me about this OVER A YEAR later. I'm still not comfortable with sharing what Duane said to me. MY FRIEND WAS WITH ME and she was uncomfortable too with what he said. Honestly, learn to fight your own battles. This business should be ashamed for having such a ludicrous artist. Maybe the other artists are good, but no one should have to live with the shame that this is the shop they tattoo in. This behaviour is untenable, it's harrassment. And it came from be being an honest yelper. Beware! Update v2 after Duane commented back...: good job for learning how to fight your own battles! Also, what you said to me isnt the ONLY reason you got a bad review. Duane is a TERRIBLE artist. Unless you want some really thick line work, ink bleeds, ink blowouts, and regrets, don't see him. Plain and simple. *since it matters /sooo/ much, the uncomfortable thing Duane did was body shame me for a physical disability that I have. Which he claims to not have done but he probably doesn't remember doing it because he was high* (I have another person to account for this encounter... I'm not a troll, I'm telling it how it is.) I didn't want an "apology" from the get go(but thanks for the half-assed one provided), and I'm clearly not the only person with negative reviews for this shop.

    There's even a boba shop next door! I wanted to be kind and buy Jesse a Thai iced tea because he's so hardworking and deserves it!

    Wowowowow this is the MOST iconic tattoo shop I've ever visited! I found this place thru the owner's Instagram reels, as I was finding a good place for American Traditional. What caught my eye was not the tattoo designs, but Jesse's flashy tracksuit. Anyways, I just knew that I had to fly out from SF to Reno to see the skinny legend. And let me tell you, it was SO worth it! I really felt like I was in a museum, and Jesse did a wonderful job explaining the history of his tattooing background. He's a descendant of the tattoo gods and he keeps the place so clean, because cleanliness is close to godliness. I didn't know which design I should get, so Jesse helped me find the perfect one, which was one of the vintage flashes on the wall! He explained everything so well and I was confident about what I was getting. He's very talkative but informative, and that's great because he's interactive and it shows he cares about his client's wellbeing. Jesse made my tattooing experience very memorable. If you want a piece of history in your skin, this is the place! Thanks, Body Graphics! I'll be back soon P.S. You should check out their reels and you can see how funny these guys are! They are guaranteed to make you laugh

    I've only been to one tattoo shop in Reno, but Body Graphics has always been great to me! They've always taken me as a walk in, and done some simple designs as well as more intricate designs for me without needing a lot of notice beforehand. They take their time drawing up my ideas, and the pricing was very good also. The store layout is pretty cool also, with a nice seating area to wait, and comfortable chairs for those getting tattoos. The shop is cash only, however there is an ATM machine in the back that is available.

    Here for the obvious

    Here for a tattoo, obviously. My husband's...Staff is fantastic and place is clean. Their phone manner is excellent so if you have a question you should ask. Nice new location with cool Reno tattoo history on the walls (owner is 3rd generation tattoo artist)... Great flash in the walls and ideas if you need them. Yay Body Graphics, ruling

    My first tattoo
    Patrick A.

    Let me start off with this, Body Graphics Tattoo is the greatest place to get a tattoo no matter if it's your first time or millionth. 3 years ago I walked into this tattoo shop with no intention of getting a tattoo but my best friend Justin at the time was getting one and persuaded me into getting one, so I did. Ronnie *nicest dude ever* was helping me come up with ideas and we came up with a rose on my forearm. Honestly was shocked with how much I fell in love with it. For the longest time I couldn't remember the name of the tattoo shop or where it was located but the only reason I found it, was because I had to look at a million different pictures of different tattoo places and find red/black tiles. My best friend Taylor really wanted a tattoo and was nervous because it was her first time and I wanted to bring her to Body Graphics because I knew they would do a good job and not disappoint. As soon as we walked in Ronnie and Jessie and the guys greeted us and were so welcoming. Taylor was showing them different designs and they helped come out with a good idea and placement of it. I ended up going with a lettering tattoo that says "Go One More" because it's my mindset it life. GO ONE MORE Will definitely be back. Thank you guys!

    Nice and friendly. They make you feel at home. Like you fit right in. Very knowledgeable and smart. In my own opinion this is the greatest example of what a tattoo should be. The artist are very talented and open to all kinds of people and ideas. Nothing is really off limits. You could loose yourself in a good place like this.

    My first time ever...thanks Gentle J

    Showed up just to get a quote. Talk to Duane and showed him my idea. Duane took my idea and made some improvements on it. Set up the appointment for the next day. He was very professional and did a great job. The tattoo was done in about an hour and a half. I will be returning all the way from central California to get more work done with Duane at this shop.

    Got my first tattoo today of my cat :) it looks great and Anderson was very nice, patient, and helpful. Will be going back for future tattoos!!

    Had an amazing experience! My mother in law & I decided to come here, after we had planned to do a shops 16th birthday $40 tattoo special, spent hours in line for them to run out of spots & couldn't even tell the long line to our faces. This place is awesome and we will definitely be going back for future tattoos (: sweet people & great vibes. Than you guys for redeeming what was a disappointment & turning it into a wonderful memory.

    The artists were way cool. I was hoping to find another artist to go to, but still looking. I waited a month to post so I could make sure it was waaaaay healed. I paid $120, for this tat. It took him longer to get it ready than it did for him to even get it done. Letters aren't the same width. The shapes aren't the same size. The "pause" is to close together, so it looks like another "stop".

The parlor is clean, and large with a nice waiting area and a zen entrance with beautiful Koi. It has amazing artwork on the walls and a great vibe. Archie specializes in Traditional Japanese and he also does incredibly lifelike animal realism tattoos from portraits. He has a varied and talented array of artists, so you will be able to find someone who specializes in the body art you want. They take appointments and walk-ins, but no credit cards. Cash app, Venmo, Zelle or cash. They do have an onsite ATM for convenience. There is a Friday the 13th first come, first served flash event. Follow them on social media to see work from the artists and upcoming events. Located in midtown with a shared parking lot and on street parking as well. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo!

My daughter is autistic but had been wanting a tattoo for forever. Alexx was so patient and kind, as well as the others. When my daughter got lightheaded, another artist gave up his candy for her. Alexx gave her all the time she needed to get back into the tattoo. It was honestly such a great experience. So much so, that a couple months later, my daughter went back for another one. 10/10 I recommend them to everyone.

Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me.
