I was looking for a piercing studio to add to my ear candy collection and after a few phone calls I…read moredecided on Eternal Art. After finding out this studio was the oldest in Sarasota, I knew I'd be in good hands. I wanted a tragus and helix piercing to add to my collection. After discussing the jewelry options (I wanted a simple, tiny rhinestone) we settled on a few and Karen (the owner) began to mark my ear with placements. What I loved about Karen is that she gave her honest and professional opinion on placement of the helix. Where I initially wanted it was not going to be the best option because of the shape and curve of my ear. Being a woman herself, she knew I wouldn't love my initial placement ad recommended a lower helix piercing. I appreciated her honesty. She even asked if my two prior piercings were done by different piercers, which I said yes, and she knew right away they were from different people (because of the placement they did, going off of what I wanted and not taking my ear shape into consideration). I went with her recommended area and I couldn't be happier with results. She runs the show here at EA - a small, woman owned business which resonates with me. Karen is highly professional and personal, engaging and makes you feel comfortable and secure. I couldn't recommend Karen enough! Just an fyi - she's cash only - not a problem but come prepared. Always ask or call to make sure she's available and she can give you an estimate over the phone in what you are wanting. Karen - I'll be back to add more ear candy when I'm in town next.

It bled horribly and now has what seems to be permanent bruising marks on it. Picture attached is after a month has gone by. It continues to hurt me off and on, but doesn't seem to be infected.

Make sure you know the artist that you're going to see because by the looks of it they have some very talented artists there but just didn't happen to be the one that I got.

I scheduled and appointment with my artist, Ariana for our session that we had a couple days later…read more On the spot we started going over what the elements were going to be to this very special tattoo I was getting. We were experiencing computer issues for the next two days and my emails weren't received until the morning of my tattoo. Thankfully we communicated really well and Ariana sketched my tattoo for me and adjusted it the same day. The tattoo was in memoriam of my younger brother who was killed in his early 20s very tragically. I knew that Ariana understood how much this tattoo meant to me. She took her time and it turned out better than I ever could have imagined. She's so gifted and such a talented artist. Flowers become alive when she's tattooing them, which was an important factor to me. The realism was exactly what I was looking for and she nailed it and still made it original. When I'm back in town I will return just to say hello and thank you again. Or if needed for a touchup but that's about it. She did an incredible job. I'm really pleased with her work. I would happily come back to Ariana and the shop again for additional tattoos. I loved the shop/parlor and everyone in it. Everyone is super talented on the staff. It's very clean inside, everything is opened, sterilized and fresh. All precautions and safety measure are taken by staff during this difficult time. Masks were always worn by all. Oh! I also thought they played AWESOME music the two days I had been there!! I still have more ink to get done so I'm saving some money up in a separate little fund for myself so that I can do it. Thank you Ariana and Sacred Arts Tattoo Bradenton for an amazing experience! I'll definitely be stopping by next time in town. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking to get a beautiful tattoo from a range of incredible artist. This place does not disappoint! Alexa

I recently provided hand-holding services for a friend who was getting 2 tattoos at Southern…read moreHellfire, and was really impressed with the place. We were there for several hours, so I had plenty of time to observe. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and not at all intimidating. Tony, the owner, is just a nice, cool guy, and was very patient with my rather particular and indecisive friend. In the end, what she asked for was exactly what he delivered, and she loved them both. Tony's smooth, clean lines and sharp attention to detail were outstanding. Speaking of clean, both Tony and his employee John practiced appropriate safe and sanitary procedures throughout, which is always reassuring to see! While we were there, I watched John help a customer design a large custom upper arm piece. I wasn't there long enough to see the finished product, but the design and the work he did while I was there were gorgeous. I don't think you could go wrong with either one of these guys. Oh, and there was also a situation with a drunken customer (which I'm pretty sure is a normal occupational hazard in the ink business), and the guys handled it with pure professionalism. If you're thinking about getting inked, you should check this place out.

Do not judge a book by its cover!!…read more There is no other place in Bradenton that I would recommend for a piercing. I started coming here back in high school (I have not been in high school in a while) and have not looked back since. The staff were extremely welcoming and personable. They immediately greeted us on the walk in. The establishment is clean, even the restrooms. We walked in and immediately were able to get in with I believe her name to be Christina or Chrissy. She was great! My best friend and I came to Body Effects because on a whim she decided she wanted a piercing. I must say they are going to educate you. They ensure that you are knowledgeable of your piecing, rejection rate and best practices for longevity. They make sure you are as comfortable as possible and if you're having any doubts (which my friend did) they give you the space to decide what it is you really want without pressuring you. The lady (whose name as stated before I cannot remember) was extremely patient, she took her time, and she was noticeably big on privacy. She was also very sanitary. I love this! The pricing is great compared to a lot of the places in the area and did I mention that the jewelry is included in the price? Yes, that's right.

The issue i have is that no one mentioned at all that the gold jewelry they offer is actually gold plated. I specifically asked for actual gold because Im severely allergic to nickel in cheap metal jewelry. Thats why I always buy in person and I don't mind paying for good quality jewelry. So the $80 for a nose ring was not a bad price IF it was real gold which it was not. This is a huge safety concern, do better.

Wanted one thing, but quickly decided to change gears after doing some internet research (turns out…read moregetting a tat on the palm of your hand isn't the best idea for a number of reasons.) So the new location was my left ring finger, and instead of a word, the concept morphed into a symbol. Matt Helmer sketched a red poppy for me (personal significance) and resized it twice so it would fit just right on the lower part of my finger. He creatively pigmented the background of the flower with a subtle teal outline to make it pop. It looks like I'm wearing a permanent cool ring. Got super lucky on a Friday midday. Evidently someone had cancelled last minute, so instead of a two month wait, I got my finger tat the same day it was conceived. Great experience. Fun, friendly shop and I bought a cool logo t-shirt from them as well.
