Got my 3rd tattoo(and first actual professional ink) done here years ago as an anniversary gift. It was flash dragon piece on my back, it was cheap and wasn't done all that well but I liked it well enough as when I wear tank tops, it kinda looks like I have wings sticking out. Now the son of the owner runs the place and apparently he allowed a guest artist to come in and do a Nazi tattoo in their shop. There used to be a time when asking for this kind of thing would get you tossed out of a shop at a minimum and artists would be blackballed from the scene. Totally unacceptable, Jesse. read more

I came here for Friday the 13th in December and got this cutie lil jack skellington! I walked in, filled out paperwork, and was in the chair in 15 mins. No lines or anything, which is crazy for Friday the 13th. Tattoo was done within 10-15 mins and I love it. Staff were so friendly and efficient read more

Great artists completed my work just as I had asked and with fine workmanship. Would recommend, great unbiased atmosphere didn't judge my choices read more

Only giving 2 stars because the owner was nice. The artist though was unprofessional and never finished my tattoo but kept my deposit. He first quotes me 500 tops for a piece. I put a deposit of 60 down. First session he charged me 400 bucks. Second session he was sick wiping his nose the whole time and spent an hour doing shading then said he was done and charged me 150. I had him keep the 60 for a deposit to be towards our next session. I had to reschedule due to personal reasons. He never responded with a date that would work and so I'm down $610 and have an incomplete tattoo on my arm. Going to a different shop to finish it for sure. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Was happily surprised when I was taken as a walk-in. Only had to wait about 15min to be seen. Agreed on the scripture I wanted and was under the needle in no time! The little shop dog is adorable and an amazingly good boy, please give him a treat. Artists are great and have a good sense of humor. Pricing is decent, no complaints. Will have to come back for a bigger piece. read more

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 read more

Body Graphics Tattoo - 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! - Tattoo Near Me - Reno, Nevada

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love traveling. I travel multiple times a month. Me and my husband went out to Reno to go gamble and forget about our usual city lives.

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. read more

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. read more

Great place!! We did a walk in for matching tattoos. The owner was super friendly and drew up exactly what we wanted. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks!!!! read more

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". read more

Absolutely wonderful shop. We have been looking for a place for tattoos after our artist retired and they are awesome. The environment is clean, and cool. The artists are comfortable, fast, and do quality work. They also say if you have fading they will fix it. We had Griffin, and he's done 5 tattoos for me today. I am definitely never going anywhere else. The shop minimum is 60, but they also go by size of piece for price as well as details. In their shop minimum they'll do more than one small tattoo. Just absolutely adore this place. read more

I. Could. Not. Have. Asked. For. Better!!!! I am so incredibly impressed every time I walk into this shop! Everyone is friendly and they know exactly what they are doing. I come in with an idea and Griffen, my artist, turns it into a work of art that I never expected! I've already recommended this place to so many friends and I will be going back for all of my touch ups and all of my new pieces. All of the artists are professional both in their work and their attitude. They will tell you exactly what they think about the piece your getting done and how they can touch it up to be even better. The environment is very relaxed and comfortable, the music selection is always awesome, and the artwork and decorations on display are definitely enough to keep you distracted on those most painful spots!! This is a place you can feel confident that you will leave happy. Most of the artists have portfolios or proof of their work so you can best pick the artist that matches your style and needs. Again, i would recommend this shop to anyone! They are the best experience I have ever had. read more

Overall a great experience for my first tattoo! I got lucky with timing and was able to get my tat on the same day I called. Duane did a great job! I would recommend calling a few days in advance just to make sure you can get the time slot you want. I'm happy with my experience!! read more

Jesse started my tattoo and he was kind and understanding of what I wanted and why. It was for my Mom who passed. Husband and I met Jesse at an expo in So Cal and that's where my tattoo was started. I was so happy with what he had done and knew I wanted him to finish it. So we drove to Reno and Jesse finished my tattoo with color. I couldn't be happier with what he created for me. Great guy, great shop and talented folks who do beautiful work. Thank you Jesse! read more

One of the best tattoo experiences I've had, Duane was awesome from the moment I walked into the shop. He was super friendly and excited to tattoo our ideas for us. Got me and my girlfriend in and out within a couple hours with some fantastic tattoos for their size and speed. Definitely would recommend this shop. Can't wait to come back read more

It's a small joint, but then again I have never seen a giant tattoo shop either. I got my first tattoo here, and I love it, turned out exactly how I wanted it. I even got it out of the display images, which normally are too basic, or way over the top, but they have lots to choose from and modify. I think my artist was named Guy(?), he goes back and forth from SF. My brother got tattoos done at the same time, and his turned out great too, I would definitely go back here when I get more work done. read more

Came in with my spouse after speaking to Eddie ( the apprentice ) via Facebook , responded to an ad he had for free tattoos he agreed to do one for me .(because I am a starving artist / student myself I planned on paying him either way) Walking into the shop we were not greeted , he was very rude would interrupt me mid sentence while I'm telling him what I want and don't want . the shop was completely empty but took nearly an hour to even get me to sign paper work ! Decided to get a small cross on the back of my neck , was suppose to have words under neath but while putting on my stencil told me because he didn't feel it was symmetrical he wasn't going to do it for me! Only then after paper work after the wait after horrible customer service he then asked me for my I'd (which is an out of state), he then accused it of not being me ran to the back and said "its not worth it we don't take out of state' because I don't look the same in my I'd photo! I waisted so much time and tried so hard to give this shop a chance it was not worth it at all! read more
