The location has changed, it is now located on Cove View Blvd. (The west end) I took my gf and son to go get piercings with me. My son wanted his ears, my gf wanted her lip and I wanted my nose pierced. The piercer was very professional, clean experienced, informative, and best of all PATIENT. Was very descriptive on how to care for our piercings. He made sure to let my teenager know how important it was to keep his ears cleaned so they don't get infected. I really appreciated that because I'm just a mom, what do I know? My teenager would NEVER believe I was qualified to give any instructions on cleaning a new piercing.. ::eye roll:: So I really appreciate the guy helping a momma out.. The entire process took about an hour for all 3 of us, including prep time. I would rather bring my son to a professional piercer and it done the correct way than to risk him asking a friend to do it from their home. Good experience. I recommend it to anyone. Family business, been in business for a long time, family friendly. My first tattoo was done in their east end shop, 16 years ago. Now I have my first body piercing from them. read more

This shops service was not good, the vibes were off and the lady wanted to charge $35 to put jewelry in when all I needed was a ball for my rook piercing. They made us wait 20-30 minutes for service. The jewelry the young lady gave us wasn't even the right thread (it was externally threaded) and too long. We had to go to a different shop and they were cheaper and better! read more

Lied to over the phone about a piercer being on site. Spent money to Uber there and there was no piercer on site. Unreliable place for piercings read more

I got a VERY simple tattoo done in December and immediately i could tell through the scabbing that it was super faded. once it healed it was maybe half there and you could barely see it from a distance. I was told i could come in for a touch up any time for free but i was turned away the first time i tried coming and and the second time they made me come the next day making it extremely complicated for me. (Mind you i live 4 hours away and i messaged the tattoo artist ahead of time both times and was told i would be able to get it fixed.) I finally was able to get it touched up and now that all of the scabbing has come off again it just looks like shit. lines are uneven and thinner and thicker in different places and overall i'm pissed that i payed $120 dollars for this crap to begin with. read more

Awesome place. I have many tattoos and these guys are great. Friendly, fast, courteous, and a really good price for the art. Alex and Susie are the best. read more

i love this place. i came to visit for a family trip and wanted a last minute piercing. i'm from out of town san diego california and the main lady, i can't remember her name, hooked me uppp !! my momma took me and she knew right from the start i could trust her with my septum. did not hurt at all !! i really enjoyed the environment and it made me feel more than welcome. however if you are getting a piercing, please do your research and be prepared for it. screaming at the top of your lungs lets everyone know you can't handle the piercing and not just overstimulates the customers but also the piercer. my septum healed nicely and im looming forward to stretching it ! thank you so much !!!! read more

Great experience! The owner has great humor and very kind! I loved how involved she is, showing us all the options they had in beads to add to a helix hoop. Eric was the best person I could have gotten! He has such a genuine kind energy about himself that made me feel comfortable and confident. I would 100% come back to this shop for any future work! -Jen & John read more

Leo did an absolutely amazing job. He is light handed and very focused on his work. Highly recommend this shop for your next tattoo. read more

Very professional and pleasant to work with. They were more than happy to accommodate a late walk in and made recommendations to make my tattoo look better long term. read more

All my piercings from here got an infection. The piercing I got in Webster didn't get any infection. Currently get rid of infections in my right ear (daith & auricles). These ppl honestly don't seem to like ppl of color. Not talking about Breanne but the other piercer. Asked about an apprenticeship & literally got told that the dude knows the owners so he can't give me any information. All & all I probably won't go back to this shop. read more

Amazing job by Leo ! He did a Saturn tattoo on my girlfriends wrist . Looks awesome!!

I had to get my ear re-pierced and it was super simple the people were super nice and it was fairly quick!! It was also super chill and the vibes were good. I would definitely get another piercing here or a tattoo. read more

Brenna is the actual literal best. I regret not having her do my original piecing. She put new jewelry in for me originally and just recently helped fix my situation when I had my nostril ring fall out and couldn't get it back in. She's insanely knowledgeable and has products and tools that I feel exceed the other shops. I absolutely adore her and can't wait to get more piercings. Won't go to anyone else anymore. read more

I got my first tattoo from Taleisin in 2013, and he's the only artist I will go to now. He does amazing work, understands what I like, and what will look good. His custom work is the best though. Now I have 6, and can't wait for him to tattoo me again. If your looking for a great artist, body language is the place to go! read more

My cousin got a tattoo here and here's what she has to say about this place "I was super scared on the way there .. But once I walked in I felt more relaxed .. The tattoo artist I had was John and he was exceptionally good . He knew I was nervous and he did everything he could to make me feel comfortable . I really love my tattoo and I believe I made an awesome choice at choosing to go to Body Language Tattoo Studio." read more

Brenna was great! Walked in for 2 conch piercings, cleaned the jewelry in front of us, explained what she was doing and gave several spots to choose from. Also explained in detail the cleaning/healing process thoroughly! read more

I had a LOT of trouble getting a septum clicker to unclick so I could get it out and after hours of trying I decided to get some help. They were really nice here and helped me get the pesky ring out as well as put my retainer in. I'm so so thankful! I've experienced nothing but great customer service here, so I definitely recommend them! read more

I got a memorial tattoo from Brad, he was very professional and really worked to make it beautiful. He has a light touch and truly cares about making sure it is exactly what I wanted read more

Just had sisters tattoo done. John was wonderful. great personality and our tattoos are amazing. thank you so much!

I entered Body Language and was met with the stench of cigarette smoke. My reason for visiting the shop was to have my lip ring changed to one with a smaller diameter, so I approached the piercer. She opened up a dusty glass case filled with jewelry, which she proceeded to touch with her unsterilized hands. It was definitely unsanitary. My piercing was not healed enough to have my jewelry changed, so I did not have anything done at the establishment, and I am relieved that I was not put at risk. It was very unclean and I will definitely not request their services. Ever. read more

Ms. Susie is awesome and a sick artist. I went for my first tattoo and so happy I did.

My cousin and I spent a day in Galveston while she was visiting from Michigan and decided it was time to finally get a tat. We agreed a small wave symbolizing our love for the water/beach and the strength within that wave as well as our relationship. Taleisin was wonderful with our scared asses and was very pleasant. Now the other artist that was there is a different story. Very rude! While standing there discussing our fears of having them done he said "You know what I miss...an office!" Then went on the talk about how he can't stand hearing everyone talking about what they're getting and how it's gonna hurt. He was a complete ass hole and had I not appreciated Taleisin's smooth demeanor so much I would've walked the hell out of there. Shame on you ass hole! read more

Suzie and her brother were sooo accommodating. The tattoo experience was great. My sisters and I went in for ink & Suzie took great care of us. She gave us a great price and was so kind! Will definitely go again! read more

after having a wonderful experience getting my industrial pierced, i decided to come back to have susie pierce my nose. we agreed upon the price of $20, but had trouble picking jewelry because she was out of what i had intended on getting. i will say the piercing is placed nicely and had no trouble healing, but she ended up charging $40 after all was said and done. not a big deal but i should've been quoted accurately. nothing special about this piercing or experience read more
